I'm actually watching season 2 now. The fact that they only send the malp about 5 feet past the gate is just retarded. They should be sending it all the way to the DHD to confirm that it's in working condition. Also in numerous instances when they show an incoming wormhole they have Earth's symbol be the 7th symbol locked, but that's supposed to be the point of origin. These retards can't even keep their own lore straight. Still a very entertaining show of course.

>>218974554
im always bothered by how quickly or slowly the gate shuts off, depending on what's happening in the plot
>>
>>218974554
Their methods develop as it would in reality. At some point they start to launch UAVs through the gate.
>>
>>218974554
They gate technology never made too much sense.
>>
>>218974943
I like how they have random incoming wormhole and they open the iris just before people come in. A moment of hesitation and those people would be dead.
>>
>>218972715
This guy was basically a slave. He had to man the gate 24 hours a day. There was never anyone else on the shift even when they had unannounced wormhole
>>
>>218974943
You would keep the gate open as long as possible to maintain radio contact. SG teams should have 20 different guys, a security detail to guard the gate and a full complement of scientists to take samples of everything. And they'd be driving jeeps and atvs through, not walking.

>This guy was basically a slave.
Nonsense. He was a Master Sergeant that got promoted to Chief Master Sergeant for sitting on his butt and saying 'encoded' and 'locked'. What a great gig.

>>218979545
If the Army and Navy hadn't been so resistant to air power, this wouldn't have been a problem. Billy Mitchell had to break the restrictive rules in a test engagement to prove that air power was relevant to the old heads that only cared about naval bombardment and infantry operations. The only reason the Air Force came into existence was because of the hesitation of Navy and Army leaders not wanting to embrace the future.

I wonder if a more grounded SG could work. Maybe as novels but for a TV series it could be a bit repetitive and boring.
>reach a new planet
>secure the gate
>check for "natives"
>learn their language if they exist
>get intel
>lean the address to dial back to earth
>(assuming you can dial back)
>etc
Also yeah, lots of people and experts. Maybe it could make a cool as anthology series, jumping from team to team while the main plot slowly advances.

it's kind of funny just how clumsy SG:1 as a unit is. In reality it would be some special forces support group going in to do months-long recon, then a special forces detachment like Delta going in with one or two CIA linguists to make contact

The sensible thing would be to leave the MALP for at least a week to collect data and to bait out any potential hostiles. And tether a goat to it to see if there is any dangerous wildlife like the space bees that infected Teal'C.

Just greet, in modern English, the first alien you meet. Even if they're from other galaxy, it just works.

A stargate is basically just a plane if you really think about it.
>>
>>218974554
there's a few problems yeah
>the gates are prescient and know which gate the outgoing wormhole will connect to before the user is finished dialing.
Can't be explained with a delay, that would conflict with the story line for at least a few episodes.
Also desu the system the gates use as coordinates is fundamentally broken.
>>
>>218985864
what about the bodysnatcher crabpeople?

>the system the gates use as coordinates is fundamentally broken
It's dumb in the movie but in the series it's just a phone, it doesn't even try to make sense.
>>
>>218992933
It even adds an area code for dialing outside the galaxy.

>>218972673
The dumbest part of Stargate SG1-SGA lore is that Earth composes of a major percentage of the human population due to alleged population control policies. The argument barely works for the worlds under Goauld domination, it falls apart everywhere else. Every other world would have a population of a few hundred million to over a billion even in a pre industrial farming state, specifically, a state in which phosphorus, nitrogen or potash are neither mined nor artificially produced.

Even if the population can't go too high because of a lack of potatoes or rice or wheat, it could still go over 100 million.

Less than 100 worlds to equal Earths population.

And in the Pegasus, the Wraith have zero reason to even attempt to restrict human habitation and resource exploitation. The more the better. So even if the majority of worlds have zero modern industry, they would still be taming and exploiting the land to the tune of hundreds of millions to over a billion people per world right before a culling.

Earth, by all accounts, should be a drop in the bucket.

That the Jaffa always just missed humans behind cover is one thing, it defies even the possibility of suspension of disbelieving of they miss those things.

>but those episodes when they couldn't hit a MALP or a shitty ATV with a .50 on it

Yeah, SG1 jumped the shark and became really fucking stupid.
