See... i'm easily confused here.  I must have missed the bit where the Giza one got onto Thor's ship..... I thought it was blown up after being chucked into orbit on an X-302.......

EDIt - got it.  I missed half that ep. so I never knew they had nicked the original gate.......

[ZylonBane]

Oops, forgot about that later part. Yeah SG-1 is currently using the original Giza gate again, and the Antarctica gate has been destroyed. Here's a good timeline of the whole mess--

What happened to the other Russian gate? Or was that the Giza one?

EDIT: NM.

[QuantumDelta]

I tell ya what, as far as SG Goes, I wasn't particularly impressed with the action, but, the acting done by O'neill and teal'c quite impressed me.

The "Action" was far too brief, for my tastes though.. Especially for a season finale.

Everything, and I do mean ALL of the plot revealed, tbh, was pretty obvious after they first arrived on the planet...
Ugh I'd go into detail but there'd be no plot left unspoiled, sheesh ¬.¬

[Bri_Dog]

21 will be slower cuz everybody's seen it, 22 is the popular one cuz it's the latest ep.

[Bobboau]

will someone oppen some clients on 21 EH

[Bri_Dog]

I would but I deleted it after I watched it, sorry.

But I'll be keeping 22 open for a few more hours after it finishes in 6 minutes.......

[IPAndrews]

Well that stank to high heaven. Based on the amount of hype these episodes were getting I decided to ignore my better judgement and watch them. Unfortunately, I'll never get those two hours of my life back. Utterly, and completely disappointing.

The Gate(s):
The original Gate was recovered during some archaeological dig pre-WW2 in Giza. The DHD for the gate was later found by the Nazi's and stored away as some ancient relic.

The Americans (specifically, Katherine Langford's father) experimented with the gate in the 30's and managed to send Ernest through, but the power failed and he was stuck off-world so they declared him dead and shut the gate down.

In the 90's it was revived with the help of Katherine and Jackson.

Some **** happened.

The Russians ended up with the DHD and loads of SGC files the NID stole.

Carter and O'Neill got dumped out at the Antarctic gate due to an accident. The SGC recovered it.

The NID stole the Antarctic Gate and started running their own operations from it, but they were stopped by the SGC.

In 'Nemesis' (Season 4 Finale methinks) SG-1 needed a way to get off of Thor's Replicator-infested ship (the Beliskner) so they used the in-bound transporters to suck the Giza-Gate onto the ship. The ship then smashed into the ocean and the gate (which the SGC presumed destroyed) was later recovered by the Russians and they started screwing with it.

The SGC unpacked the Antarctic-Gate and started using that.

The SGC negotiated a tech-sharing deal whereby the Russian would stop using the Giza-Gate.

Anubis used an Ancient weapon to cause a power build-up in the Antarctic-Gate which would eventually cause it to explode so they strapped it to the prototype 302 and flew it off into space.

The SGC then started using the Russian-held Giza-Gate (and I can't remember how they managed to get ahold of it).

didn't we allow the Russians to use our gate or something

They have a team at the SGC.....so I guess yes

[an0n]

There was a tech-sharing thing to stop them using the Giza Gate and I think they agreed to have a Russian team in the SGC (as you two say), started actually sharing technology (because they hadn't been) and sent people like Mackay off to help the Ruskies build some Naquadah reactors, so the SGC could get the gate off them.

And even if them Russians told the to sod off, with the Prometheus the SGC coulda just stolen a gate and DHD from some nearby planet.

[Mr Carrot]

I dunno, it was a little underwhelming, Earth was being attacked by sodding aliens several thousand people died, a battlegroup destroyed. But the reactions of the President and staff was placid and unworried.

The season 2 episode where those 2 mother ships attack earth and they brick it when their super missiles dont work had a hell of a lot more tension than that!

Well...yeah.  I did think to myself "bloody 'ell, he'ss col in the face of danger".

How are going to explain the loss of a navy battlegroup?  It's not that asteroids excuse, is it?
