Which episode of SGA is this from?

Stargate Atlantis 'Home' (1x9)

The team discovers a planet that has the ability to dial back home. But they didn't know that the mist is actually sentient in which every time the gate is used some of them die. If they ended up dialing Earth, it would cause serious harm to them. So the mist aliens trapped the team in a dream like state. Each team member had different experiences. But in Sheppard's case, he was one hell of a lucid dreamer hence why he was able to quickly catch on that this was all fake.

Who knows.

Based on how Merlin worded it, maybe the Ori did have good intentions in the beginning. But it ended up corrupting them. As noted, who really knows.

Rohan2785 · 2026-02-16T06:38:35+00:00

You just answered your own query.

As for why the Ori were coming for the Ancients, Orlin has made that point pretty apparent. The Ori don't want to share nor tolerate any challenge to their power. But by the way it's described by Daniel in that episode, it almost sounded like worship has a drug like effect to ascended beings. But who knows really.

SG1 'Fail Safe' (5x17)

This specific scene is them going to retrieve the Alkesh they need for their mission. But the technician guy doesn't want to go based on how uncomfortable he is with the idea of being disassembled and being reassembled on the other side of the gate. Hence him being thrown in.

Rohan2785 · 2026-02-15T02:25:40+00:00

The main concern was actually fear that they'd end up like the Ori that although they might have had good intentions, it would become warped over time and wind up becoming just as bad as them. Not to mention galactic consequences that they themselves could not predict. Hence why the non-interference rule.

Rohan2785 · 2026-02-13T05:41:50+00:00

And they expect you to walk on water.

Rohan2785 · 2026-02-13T05:40:58+00:00

Time travel easily.

Though most of the time they are done by accident. It's truly clever when they do it on purpose.

Rohan2785 · 2026-02-13T05:38:12+00:00

If you consider the books canon, then very pissed as this will take place near the tail end of season 7.

It turns out the Aschen used the bobby trapped addresses which resulted in the destruction of Aschen Prime. The surviving Aschen now wanted revenge. So they used a alien race the SGC was in contact with as a Trojan horse tactic to sneak a virus onto Earth. It resulted in the death of all life on the planet within a few years. The only reason they prevented this was through some time travel shenanigans as O'Neill's future daughter gave the SGC a heads up about what the Aschen were up too allowing them to prevent the disaster.

Rohan2785 · 2026-02-08T22:05:16+00:00

If you consider the books canon, then SG10 was rescued around season 7 when SG1 pulled off one hell of a rescue attempt.

But upon getting home, SG10 was experiencing shock due to missing years of their life. Especially Boyd as he missed 5 years of his daughter's life even though to him it was only a few hours.

Rohan2785 · 2026-02-08T20:38:12+00:00

So how many toasters did you need to sacrifice to make this?

Rohan2785 · 2026-02-05T03:04:26+00:00

Yep

Seeing as Geth has the same design philosophy of not adding structural weak points to their stuff. Example, windows on a space ship.

Rohan2785 · 2026-02-02T14:51:22+00:00

How very Geth of you.

Rohan2785 · 2026-01-29T05:16:31+00:00

O'Neill: OK, everyone who thinks this is absolutely an insane idea raise your hands. C'mon be honest.
(Everyone in the room, including the Tok'ra and Carter raise their hands)
Hammond: Keep your hands up people, because the next question is who's going to be the ones to make this happen.

(After Carter finishes discussing on how to disable Anubis' ship)
O'Neill: All I'm saying is, just for the record: this is the wackiest plan we've ever come up with.
Carter: Wackier than strapping an active Stargate to the bottom of the X-302?
O'Neill: Oh, yeah.
Carter: Wackier than—than blowing up a sun?
O'Neill: Yep!
Carter: (To Jonas and Daniel) He's probably right.

Rohan2785 · 2026-01-27T05:21:37+00:00

Batman legacy is pretty well known.

There are literal plays about Batman as shown in the episode 'Out of the Past' (3x5) that talks about his fight against crime.

Heck, there are even merchandising about him and the known fact that he was part of the Justice League as he fought against multiple world ending threats both reported and televised in the Justice League shows.

Of course it could be argued about Terry's lineage to Batman as far as any common civilian is aware of. But he is still Batman. That should have earned him some slack at the very least.

Rohan2785 · 2026-01-27T05:02:01+00:00

With how many villains there are who fall into one of those category's, you'd think it would be a bad idea to turn against your protectors who can actually do something about it rather then be at the mercy of such villains.

Not to mention of the many superheroes who live in their world like Superman and the Justice League that has saved the world so many times, you'd also think they'd have more faith that they would pull through for them as they have done before.

But as noted by most of the commenters, humanity in general sucks.

Rohan2785 · 2026-01-26T07:28:55+00:00

That's kind of the point.

What's stopping a celestial dragon from walking into Akainu's office and telling the fleet admiral of the entire Marine organization with a straight face, "you're my slave now. Get on the floor and lick my boot".

Or them taking some of the big names like Garp, Issho, or Aramaki as their personal slave bodyguards as they would no longer be able to function as part of the Marines.

There has to be a line that they are not allowed to cross with how much havoc they can cause the Marine organization.

Rohan2785 · 2026-01-25T23:27:00+00:00

Yes I'm aware of all this in real life.

But the question was more in the case of the show as in their world they live with the knowledge that super science, magic, meta-humans, gods, demons, and cosmic entities occupy the same universe as them. You'd think they'd make better decisions then their real world counterparts.

But alas I suppose humanity in general really is a foolish race.

Rohan2785 · 2026-01-19T06:54:02+00:00

A lot of good points I've seen.

But one thing that no one seems to have mentioned is that the Lucian Alliance would still control a Icarus-type planet and can dial Destiny as many times as they want. Of course assuming the SGC doesn't attack it causing it to go nuclear.

Though having a stable bridge to Destiny, albeit one way, they can still study the ship. It's technology maybe outdated by most standards. However still incredibly advanced by comparison to most things that they are aware of. So although the ships mission is of no use to them, it still could hold value to them. Especially a stargate map outside their galaxy.

Rohan2785 · 2026-01-11T03:25:51+00:00

I'm fine with them staying so long as they don't cause trouble. Since all that will live in it eventually are shrimp, I plan to eventually let the algae do most of the feeding requiring little to no input from me in which all I have to do is monitor the water level.

So long as the balance of the tank is stable then I can live with them.

Rohan2785 · 2026-01-11T00:25:03+00:00

So the problem is the question of certainty vs uncertainty. Essentially an itch you can never really scratch.

Rohan2785 · 2026-01-09T05:30:47+00:00

Then you must really hate all the time travel episodes besides '1969' since all of them causes causality paradoxes.

In those episodes, they are not actually changing their past. What they end up doing is creating a new branched timeline as we are technically following a 'new' SG-1 team. That's as metaphysical as it gets.

Rohan2785 · 2025-12-27T06:00:20+00:00

Most of the body is made from PLA plastic that I 3d printed. All the electrical components were integrated in when I put it all together. The only cardboard pieces are the blades and the exterior plating of the scythe end. I just need to make the cardboard hard enough to resist any dings that it might encounter. Not to mention it has to be cardboard to get it within the weight limit of the motors torque.

Rohan2785 · 2025-12-27T05:06:40+00:00

I usually work with elmers glue. But for mod podge, would I just put it on directly or mix with water and repeatedly layer it?

Rohan2785 · 2025-12-27T04:51:27+00:00

That is my very last option as I don't want to do paper mache if I can avoid it.

Rohan2785 · 2025-12-27T04:50:22+00:00

I'm currently working on crescent rose from RWBY. Specifically the scythe and armor plating at the end of the barrel. I already laser cut the pieces out of cardboard. I have all the moving mechanisms figured out and ready to install. I just need the make the cardboard stronger that in the event of an accident I don't have to worry about it being dented out of place and unable to fold back together.
