Stargate SG-1 news!

[Phantom]

I was using the term for a lack of another. You are right everything does through Area 51...someone must be reverse engineering something there...Isn't that what they do at Area 51, after all.

You mean they have even better scientists than Major "Hey Carter make a bomb outa this willya" Sam Carter? Oh shit.

But the question is:

Why not re-surrect good old Spartan/Sprint with some <TBla-enhanced> 100kt nuke. After all it seems a meekly 30 pound warhead on an AAM is already quite dangerous. Or ask other races for "out-moded" technologie. After all a fusion reactor should be to them what the first ICE engines are to us

As for internal consistency, yes StarGate is nice. They even make multi-season references quite correctly (we currently have seasons 4 and 2 in parallel running one after the other)


Btw. does the AIM-120A have vector steering? Always thought it was fin-steered and thereby useless in space.

Didn't Earth try to take out a mother ship with nuclear missles about two or three seasons ago. If I recall this giant ship, there may have been two, was about to attack earth and was commanded by Appophis.

The nukes did not work and O'Neal and team had to distroy it(or them) from within. If nukes with a megaton yeald did not work then weapons with a kilaton yeald would not even get their attention!!

We need much better weapons for planitary defence!

Two weeks ago we in germany saw the show where they tried out "their" new space/orbital fighter and Carter said something about "<tbla> enhanced warheads" on an AIM-120 Scorpion (Missile shown was a Scorpion also) that can harm a small mothership and thats about 30pf. So maybe the original nukes where to weak.

So maybe a SPARTAN with an enhanced warhead (original is 100KT/60s => around 600pf)will cut it. On the other hand that would kill some nice plots so better not. For my RPG session so...

Zats are good but slow fire and close range. I was talking about something to stop a major invasion, like gliders, they had one once and lost it. It was pre programed to exit the solar system or something. Or the planet defence system used by the advanced race that won't share weapons. Excuse me for not being exact but I dont have a enclyclodedia to refer to. That would be an idea!!!

But anyway, what does it take to get advanced weapons to defend Earth!!! Steal them? Hey didn't that happen once, yes, from the race that won't share weapons. We saved them from the bad guys during the trial to see if the snake had a right to choose. Or was that Star Trek TNG, Data.
And they still would not share weapons!!

No really, I have seen every SG1 episode!! I recall what happened but not the terminoligy. thats what happens when you get old. But SG1 has come accross some dynomite stuff only to loose it, give it back or leave it behind. Maybe the Russians have a more defensible and agressive way to run the Star Gate. Sounds harsh but what are the alternatives. Too Bad the Klingons don't have a Star Gate.....Sorry.

Remember that SG-1 is just the first contact team. If there was something useful, I'm sure the Marines (SG-4?) got a hold of it....

I know this is somewhat out of the scope of the series, but new tech would take awhile to learn how to use. Perhaps, they are training new SG teams in the use of new items and we may see some new troop types before the series is over.

Just an idea.

I sure hope something happens before the series is over. I mean a united front against these A Holes that have been terrorizing the universe for how many thousand years. After all this time I hope when the last episode comes around there is a conclusion. I hope it dosn't just stop, Man! that would really frost my hide!!!

Maybe the builders of the Star Gates will return and tune the bad guys up.
Maybe that will happen in the SG1 movie!!!

A Question..I probably ust forgot...getting old, but when they go through the Star Gate are they just going to other planets in the Milky Way or are they also going to other planets in other Galaxies..big difference between the two.

[Phantom]

From what I can figure out from the charts that have been on the show, it appears to me that the Stargate network links planets within our own galaxy. Im not an astronomer by any means, well low end of the amauter level maybe, so if anyone else can shed more light...I like to hear it too.

[Don Mappin]

I haven't seen the episode, but supposedly in this episode SG-1 find the planet of the Ancients (the guys who built the Stargates) and find a way to use an 8th chevron and dial. This 8th chevron is supposed to act like an 'area code' chevron when dialing, letting you (presumably) go to other galaxies.

Perhaps someone who's seen this episode can go into more detail.

[KlingonZ]

Thanks Dan, I do recall the episode.

[Dan Gurden]

OK Don. As Requested.

Spoiler notice for everyone else. Consider yourself warned and if you dont want to know stop reading here...

The SG1 team find themselves in a weird location, exiting the gate into a room with no exit, apart from the Gate and DHD.

Through various means they find a hole in the wall. And looking into it O'Neill finds himself grabbed and subjected to a weird kaliedoscope.

Returning to the SGC its not long before O'Neill starts blabbering some weird languages to the exclusion of all else.

While Sam, Teal'c and Daniel all try to figure whats happening O'Neill starts building, but has no idea what. Shrugging whenever anyone asks what it is.

Sam and Teal'c think they find a clue, and head off with another SG team but find themselves trapped on a burning planet with a damaged DHD.

Daniel, by this time has become convinced that Jack is speaking the language of the ancients and has had their knowledge dropped into his brain. This is proved when he draws a circuit diagram of a DHD and they send it through the gate to allow Sam, Teal'c and the other SG team to excape certain death.

Next we find Jack, uncontrollably typing coordinates into the main computer. Hammond becomes worried that Jack has actually become an unwitting saboteur when the bases computers go down. But soon the processing lag time finishes and they find that Jack has just entered the addresses of several more Stargates not matching those found on the Abidos cartouche.

However Jacks not finished yet. Attaching the device he built to the bases power supply he multiplies available power astronomically, and enables the eigth chevron (which correctly is like a galaxy area code), and opens the gate to the Asgard homeworld, where he negotiates with Thor and opens up the plot for several series 4 and 5 episodes...

Last night on StarGatethe Tollans begin to share weapons technology with Earth. They were the ones who refused to share before.

It turns out that they only wanted to share because they wanted some stuff in return to develope better weapons and the weapons they were going to give us were obsolete.

Anyway it turns out that tey were working with the bad guys and in the end are destroyed....Whops...Sorry.

WE NEED BETTER WEAPONS FOR PLANITARY DEFENCE!

Trust the Kiligons to want a bigger and badder gun. HEHE

Thanks for the spoilers ! Since it'll be over a year before I get to see the episode, I REALLY appreciate it!

Last nights episode of SG1 was all new and very good.

But at the risk of upsetting someone I won't comment on it.

I just want to say it concerns my previous posts and intrests.
