[QUOTE]Originally posted by Commander Dan: [QB] Agreed. The gate simulator is pretty cool. I also would have thought that the Antarctic gate was here first, probably put here by the original gate builders (as Dr. Jackson theorized in Solitudes). If the gate was covered by ice or otherwise made inactive before Ra arrived, then Ra may have placed the Giza gate on Earth not knowing of the other’s existence. There are several discrepancies between the movie and the series, with the whole gate symbol issue being one of them. Based on the movie, one would have to decipher the symbols on each and every gate before one could dial home. Also, the Earth gate in the movie does not quite look the same as on the TV show. The chevrons on the gate in the movie do not illuminate, and the “seventh” chevron on top (yeah, I know, there are actually 9) is slightly different than the rest, as it “frames” the symbol directly underneath it. (Just look at the gate graphic printed on the DVDs. It more closely resembles the “movie” gate.) Another thing that always bugged me is how there is a “vortex” behind the movie gate, whereas the TV gate’s wormhole is totally flat on both sides. The only time a vortex such as this has been shown on the TV series is in A Mater of Time. Personally, I like the “vortex” effect better, as it makes more scientific sense to me: It seems that the wormhole should taper to the point of a singularity. (And, it just looks cooler!) Additionally, we get a couple of glimpses of the “alien” Ra in the movie, and this totally contradicts the TV series’ snake-like Goa'ulds. I also wondered why in the movie, they simply did not turn the gate on at Earth for the purposes of communicating with O’Neill and his team. I really do not have a problem with Jackson “miraculously” finding the DHD shortly after O’Neill and his team returned to Earth (Children of the Gods). It is reasonable to assume that Ra hid or attempted to destroy the DHD (without actually destroying the gate) to ensure that the Abydonians did not escape through the gate. Also, it may be reasonable to assume that in the movie, O’Neill’s team brought some kind of power source with them in order to power the gate and dial home. [/QB][/QUOTE]
