This was a good episode, except that the SGC apparently hadn't learned from past events not to ignore errors. And yes, I say it's the SGC's fault as a whole and not specifically Sam's because she doesn't dictate policy. Someone higher up should've decided long ago that when they get an unknown error from the gate they don't override. They can try dialing to that planet a few months later, when the Earth is on the other side of our sun, or from a planet very far from our own, but not just blindly force the gate to open a wormhole. I'm very confused by everyone only blaming Sam.

2022-01-12 22:49:23 +0000 UTCActually they didn't know the DHD device existed before using the gate and traveling to Abydos, so even if they had tried to follow that principle it wouldn't have occurred to them they were bypassing an important component

2021-04-11 03:08:46 +0000 UTCWell, she messed up big but we can see it the other way around : the fact that a scientist on Earth can override failsafe protocols of a technology who is probably millions of years ahead of us is a great achievement. lol

2021-04-10 06:28:12 +0000 UTCSmall clarification for you Brent, the safety protocols are in the gate itself. Even without a DHD it tried to prevent the connection. So yeah a DHD would have prevented it, but only because we don't know how to reprogram the DHD. The protocol itself isn't in the DHD it's in the gate.

2021-04-04 19:54:15 +0000 UTCBut if they followed that principle they would have never used the Stargate to begin with. They had to jerry-rig a dialing device to get it working at all. The principle would say "the Stargate is designed to be used with a DHD, and you don't fully understand the purpose of the DHD, so don't change it."
Koala Banana
2021-04-04 19:50:50 +0000 UTCJust a correction, the Asgard didn't put the protocols in the Stargate, it was the gate builders. The gate system has safety protocols, but because we don't use a DHD and we made our own, we bypass the safety protocols. Otherwise, if a DHD were used, it would have stopped dangerous connections.

2021-04-04 19:00:46 +0000 UTCHopefully in the future, they'd have a policy of routing through a second gate if they got such a warning
Timothy Nikiforovs
2021-04-04 18:23:49 +0000 UTCyep, name should have been McGuffin, but I guess McGuffium wouldn't have the same ring

Ugly Pig
2021-04-04 16:59:53 +0000 UTCThere’s a principle called Chesterton’s Fence which basically states: don’t change or abolish something until you fully understand its purpose. SGC failed to consider this when deregulating the cosmic transportation infrastructure.

2021-04-04 16:01:01 +0000 UTCyeah I'd buy that for a dollar

2021-04-04 15:48:08 +0000 UTCrando fictional scientist to name a rando fictional element after
Timothy Nikiforovs
2021-04-04 15:47:28 +0000 UTCDoes anybody know what was the deal with that MacLaren guy? It seemed very random. Was he in the episode just so they can have someone to name that element after? I wondered if he's an army cameo, but he's not.
Tomáš Polák
2021-04-04 14:10:09 +0000 UTCTheoretically Daniel's screw ups have the least destructive potential, but he does more frequently, and Sam is kinda the inverse rly
Skebaba
2021-04-04 10:49:54 +0000 UTCYeah out of all of SG1, Sam probably screws up the least often, but this was BAD. Amanda did a great job selling how much the guilt was eating away at her.

2021-04-04 06:21:42 +0000 UTCHey, welcome back man. Hope the week off did you good. Everyone needs a break once in a while. Been looking forward to this one since last year. This one was just "ok" to me when I first watched the series(I just remembered it as the one with the Amish Vikings), but in recent years I've come to appreciate it much more. The themes and execution of this episode are top tier in my eyes. First I have to say that scene after the rocket blows up is one of RDA's most powerful pieces of acting on the show. He's said in multiple interviews he doesn't see himself as a very good actor, and all I've ever heard about him is that he's a genuinely warm, friendly person, but the guy NAILS blind rage the few times he has to play that aspect of O'Neill. I saw a comment on youtube for that scene saying that when it comes to extremes of anger, you either get "cold O'Neill" or "hot O'Neill". The Other Side was a perfect example of the former, where O'Neill was casually willing to close the iris on Alar after he realized what he was, and this would be a perfect example of the latter. Also notice how much angrier he got when he realized that not only did Malchus casually kill the men working on the rocket, but that he didn't have the spine to do it himself and instead sent his own people to die for his agenda. The guy was a scumbag for sure. When he finally cooled off and said "more death is exactly what you people are going to get", I get chills every time. Also have to say, for all the times you're saying how in synch you are with Daniel, it was like there was an echo when Jack pulled the gun. I can see some people not liking this side of O'Neill, but given his black ops past, and his personal history, it would strain credibility if it wasn't in him. I also think it makes his actions in the last episode all the more commendable. Despite that rage being a part of him, far more often than not O'Neill chooses not to embrace it and tries his best to be a good man. Obviously the biggest thing about this episode is that SG1 screwed up....badly. It's hard to say what actually happened at the end. Did they end up just short of the sun and it took a while to drift in? Did the reaction just take longer than expected? Did the asgard find a loophole to interfere? Was there an ascended being listening to the K'Tau prayers and helped them out? Who can say, but I do love the ambiguous ending and the themes of faith the episode touches on. I also like that SG1 knows they can't take credit for fixing the problem. They nearly killed a world and they're going to have to live with that and learn from it, especially Carter. Fact is they got lucky. They can't count on that always being the case. Anyway, great reaction to a great episode.

2021-04-04 05:43:37 +0000 UTCCool episode! This is why we shouldn't override failsafes in the gate system! We're like children playing with things outside our understanding, just trying to make it work, and we end up breaking shit. lol
