Because it looked off, when Teal'c goes to the screens, they're all dark... Then once awake, the weapon did it's scanning thing or whatever it does to locate threats and starts shootin' stuff out of the sky. So it's like if my laptop doesn't wake up from sleep mode like its should. There's lots of technology that I can't operate, like Teal'c might not be able to operate the weapon enough to fire it, but I can probably figure out how to turn it on.

My favorite: "Napoleonic power-monger!" (Jack's reference to Doc Fraiser) But as far as Jack muffing words: From what I understand, Anderson liked the idea of a leader who comes off as more smartass than smart, but whose team is brilliant. The writers have always said that Jack was a relatively intelligent guy who acts dumber than he actually is, and we see glimpses of this lots of times during the course of the show.

As for why they didn't send a missle, were they clear of the exact location of the gate? Maybe they were unsure of its proximity to the village. Imagine sending a bomb through only to kill the people you are trying to save. I suspect she was not going to tell him, but then felt that that wouldn't be fair to Jack.

The manual dialing would be more of a safetly feature if the DHD did break or get lost. If they could design a SG then a simple DHD would be right with it not just for convenience but for all its safetly features. Also my opinion on the missing glyph is that its simply a mistake. The whole SGs not being able to dial all other SGs is true but i dont think it has anything to do with missing glyphs. You would dial and if a planet wasn't availble at the time because of a sun in the way or something it just wouldn't lock. Mm although i dont know how a DHD would know if a planet was safe to travel to at that time, so missing a glyph to stop anyone dialling half makes sense but i still doubt its because of that. And with shifting of planets some other planets might not be safe while other ones safe now and i'd think the anciets would of thought of that so not just made certain glyphs unavable on some DHDs.

I thought it would get at least one more season. I would like to throw all my anger at the SciFi channel since 90% of their programming sucks (don't get me started on their Sat. night movies), but I think this was as much a MGM decision as SciFi to move forward with the new Stargate Universe show that was just greenlit. I'm uncertain about this new show. Like others have been saying doesn't sound very original...ST Voyager. I guess we'll see. Thanks for the podcast.

From a personal point of view i am very angry that Sci-Fi did not give it at least one more season, the show has plenty more to offer in terms of potential plot lines and stories.

I like this episode, but I didn't really believe TPTB were going to kill a little kid. But since the team didn't know that, it was nice to see the rest all stay in the building after Sam made her decision to remain behind. Also, the scene where they all look nervously at Daniel when he sneezes is pretty funny. "Allergies, right?" "Right??" Since the airing order is different, could you post something with the DVD order? There is at least one other episode that makes use of the naquadah in Cassie’s blood.

Yep, "The Nox" is really the episode where the show begins to take off. I'm guessing you've seen a lot of other sci-fi shows, and compared to Trek for example, IMHO the plotholes in SG-1 are many and large in some places, especially in the beginning. I can admit that and still think no less of the show. But, I agree with Justin, the show gets a lot better as it goes on. The most important thing in my mind that sets Stargate apart though, is apparent from the get-go: it's humor and team dynamics. I think it benefits from having four main characters, instead of seven or eight like the Treks, no? Tim, welcome to Gatedom!
