26:50 Tetracycline is the weakest antibiotic we have after penicillin. You have to have harder stuff. 30:@1 Jack beat up his god and freed him from slavery. I'd follow Jack, too. 48:35 I also love that we explore the galaxy with a rotary phone.

So I can definitely concede that they could be making more reference to Sha’re and for that matter Skaara throughout the the first season forward, ideally just more passively outside of missions. There just are not many such moments outside of missions or downtime in the early seasons. So that’s just likely a flaw of trying to keep the action engaging and gripping early on to cement its place, before it can better explore even more thoughtful development. Especially considering this did start its life as a premium channel series on showtime. Which also was a major driving factor for several regrettable decisions in the pilot. Such as some of the more needless gratuity, something the show runners never wanted, regretted and ended up making an alternate version of for better or worse in some other aspects. Also I’ve got to say this episode is absolute such a highlight and definitely a favorite to rewatch. It has so many iconic quotable moments. All the Teal’c isms, just the random exclamation of “Booby”, “undomesticated equines could not remove me” or even the the organisms quotes or quips through Jack, certainly the unsettling the way it says “Goodmorning Campers”. Also it’s just always a joy when Siler appears, which becomes especially so as time goes on. Given what most of his appearances consist of and in relation to other behind the scenes roles. Side note there is apparently a bit of a Mandela effect with this episode too, as with that airman Lt Simmons who you understandably also questioned the fate of. Similarly many questioned or were under the mistaken belief he died here. Not surprising given all the death flags, such as his sudden focus and seemingly endearing, yet embarrassingly pointed out crush on Sam. I know I was at one point even under the mistaken belief he tragically died here, despite the fact that he definitely does appear in later episodes(Tho I also think it’s easy to view the entire series and seasons in a bit of a blur and not have as accurate of a chronology as to when certain supporting characters appear. Made worse as it is a decent while till he is next seen) Still, I think it’s largely because many remember that last moment with Sam to be more traumatic or final. Which I don’t think was ever the actual intent. Also when it came to your initial concern around the 12 minute mark, of their plan/attempt to yeet the orb through the Stargate. I really don’t think any such electromagnetic output/interference could ever be a concern or actually affect the Stargate, tho I understand the notion given that it is demonstrated to have distinct electromagnetic properties of its own. As the Stargate is essentially one of the largest scale and most perfect superconductors, which is a major function or reasoning for its composition being almost entirely naquada. In which case a superconductor is completely diamagnetic, meaning a superconductor completely expels all external magnetic fields from its interior. Also as an aside as I had meant to touch on this previously as well during the finale, that also at least partially explains how the Stargate function on a more basic or simplified level. As unlike a cellphone with a set number that will always call that same specific phone, no matter where it physically is. Traditional stargates don’t actually get directly dialed on a set/specific gate/device level, they primarily rely on their mechanics as a macro scale superconductor. Where you essentially dial in a given vector to a specific set of desired coordinates, where if there is a stargate within range, then it essentially act as a lightning rod, capturing/anchoring and then stabilizing the connection. Since logistically otherwise considering the inverse square law, it would require an insane amount of energy needed, to attempt to just ping a specific gate in potentially every direction across the galaxy or at least an entire corridor of it. Which is both why a stargate that has moved can’t be dialed to, as they’re dialing the location where the gate previously was, not the gate itself and why you can’t even just simply dial out from the moved gate to somewhere else easily, as it wouldn’t be capable of generating the proper vector from its current new position without significant contextual adjustment/recalibration to effectively plot a course from its current position. There admittedly is a lot more detail I could go into, but I don’t believe that level of understanding is really necessarily expected or really needed at this point. Also while I 100% agree the use of elevators in such a scenario is incredibly questionable, the construction of the base doesn’t give much alternative. Since on numerous occasions it’s very much treated as if actual floor by floor staircases don’t even exist. With the elevators often treated as a somewhat controllable bottleneck/choke point (As similar to how you mentioned, They definitely can quarantine/lockout specific floors, this was just a full base lockdown) and with the somewhat hidden/emergency ladder hatches seemingly being the only other alternative. Definitely a questionable design choice, likely at least partially born of real world set constraints, but reframed within the show as a seemingly very intentional sort of security design/feature. Also I’m honestly not entirely sure if that civilization actually physically contained or somehow stored themselves within the orb or not. I personally was always more so of the belief that it was more of a self propagating, terraforming and repopulating/seeding of whatever forms of life once existed. With what I imagine would also be a record of their history and technology as a jumpstart. Also likely in hopes of not making the same mistakes again. Somewhat more of second chance at a fresh start, especially since they were fine going to the primordial planet. Apposed to literally storing the actual civilization/populations consciousnesses or other such specific snapshot as they were. It’s admittedly left a little vague and ambiguous, compared to other instances where they’re a lot more blatant and clear. It’s definitely interesting hearing your take, as for some reason that never even occurred to me. So I’m honestly not certain what the true intent really was or if it’s ever been definitively confirmed externally by the writers or supplemental media.
