CONTINUUM

[Orca]

This has been bugging me for ages, but that device in Continuum might of solved it

In the pilot episode
Apophis dials in earths stargate, but he didnt leave the gate room, earth has no DHD so how did he dial out?

[coomdoom]

Teal'c manually dials the gate by moving the inner ring.

[Mix-Martes86]

Yes, but, the gate was supposedly shutdown, so it wouldn't have had any power to unlock the inner ring or establish a connection, and therefore start spinning it to manually engage each chevron.

Actually, I never thought of it, but now that you've mentioned it, it kinda makes sense.

[MegaR]

its a plothole 

you can make stuff up but we cant be sure before the writers make something of it 

[Apollo]

there are numerous plot holes in SG universe. the one thats bugging me at the moment is in the last ever episode of SG-1 - Unending.

Wernt the Asguards homeworld in another galaxy? and they were afraid of the replicators getting a foothold in our galaxy. So how were any Ori Ships able to get to the Asguard homeworld?  and in addition to that wouldnt the replicators in the original Asguard galaxy still be knocking about as the Dakara weapon only destroyed the ones in our galaxy?  Oh and i swear that femail replicator they found wasnt made out of nanites as she died through a shotgun round and had a termianl on her neck? so how did the replicators learn to evolve into nanite repliactors? and if the ancients made the nanite replicators in atlantis then why does there exist a proper female robot?

Thought of some more.

People in SG-1 episodes from medieval/viking/mongal descendencies actually only existed in the last 1000 years that means that the Goauld had to take them from this time and knew where earth was since the buring of the stargate by the ancient egyptians 10000 years ago.

How does everyone in the Pegasus galaxy speak english?  the ancients came back thousands of years ago and the people in Pegasus speak fluent english. - Star trek had alot of plot holes. But they covered this by having Universal translators that somehow translated speach into your own dialect (rather cool).

wow that are a lot of questions 
but not all plothole/right

currently forgot the last few eps and the situation with the asgards because i've watching everthing over and am nog at season 8

nobody said that reese (android who made the replicators) was made by the ancients  (cant remember if she/it was made by nanites) it are you rumours (bad ones). reese reordered molecules or something to create the replicator blocks which arent made of nanites. the replicators evolved on there own in that time dilation field and made human replicatorz.

Maby the ppl devolved when they got dropped on the planets?

I've read this on a gateworld forum to. its probably because they want to cut out the translation scenes. you would get very long episodes when they have to learn the local language. but yes think this is a plothole

[ColJonesSG1]

 The lab they found reese in looked milky way ancient.  I mean who else could have made something that turned out bad. i.e. the Wraith.

[MegaR]

maby an other race that killed them self
(maby the fuhrlings )

But you've got to remember the gate would have been connected to the power grid within the SGC so therefore there would be power flow to it allowing the inner ring to be unlocked.

But you've got to remember the gate would have been connected to the power grid within the SGC so therefore there would be power flow to it allowing the inner ring to be unlocked.

Even though the gate was initially tied to the SGC grid, why would they leave it on if it was going to be decomissioned? Sure, power was on to the complex because lights, doors, and all that stuff needs to be working, but being a great power hug as a gate is, and it was not going to be used again, why would they leave it still operational? The wormholes take power from their origins, not their destinations, so it makes sense that an offworld activation would work without being tied to the SGC grid, but it wouldn't be operational the moment they tried to dial out, at least, if they were cautious and effectively cut power to the gate (if they didn't, well, end of discussion I guess).

About the thing in Unending, well, the Ori came there probably because they followed us or were being tipped off by the ascended. And surely they have drives capable of traveling between galaxies, so it would not be a problem.
The replicators were all eliminated... either when the AR weapon that O'Neil helped design hit all of them on their new settlement, and later on, with a satellite adapted network, or with the weapon on Dakara (that definitely eliminated them all). They were all eliminated since, well, I doubt that the human form replicators would travel with just a part of their bredering. And traveling with them all would make it easier to wipe them out of existence with just a single shot. The thing with Reece, I see it as totally diferent from the Atlantis replicators. It was an android designed from the start to mimic human reactions, while the Atlantis replicators started as single nanites and evolved themselves to become a more efficient working group, and even further, they were conceived as a weapon, not actually friendly androids. There's a lot of differences to actually directly associate on with the other. How they evolved from blocks to nanites? Those things were an artificial intelligence with lots of knowledge, that possibly allowed them to actually manufacture the human form replicators.

The societies all over the galaxy, well, that can be considered a plot hole if Ra was the only one god known to all of Earth during the activity of the gate and if Ra didn't have any predecessors that may have implemented isolated cultures different from Egyptian society.

And the language issue, well... that's more of a practical and technical problem than a plothole born out of bad scripting.

Ok, end of my post... long... :mrgreen:

One that has always bugged me

in the pilot ep, a jaffa fires his staff and it goes straight through the gate, not trasferring to SGC
and in later eps the staff weapon goes to SGC

Also the Death Glider morphed to be able to be a transport, that isnt seen anywere else

[Vartuoosi]

Also the Death Glider morphed to be able to be a transport, that isnt seen anywere else

That thing could have been custom made, one of a kind.

[Apollo]

yes thats what i always thought. not like its unheard of in gould tech, the scout ships have under parts that morph out of the hull.

Well remember in the first place they Did NOT know that there could be guys from other planets coming through the gate. they only knew that the gate could dial abydos in their opinion and therefore they decomissioned the program.And remember its not only level 28 that draws power. Probably many of the other levels were still operational. like NORAD and etc.
