[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] I agree that it's probably the issue of the support machinery that makes the Atlantis 'Gate special, but.... the Earth 'Gate [i]isn't[/i] special, is it? They just managed to jerry-rig a power hookup at the SGC, right? That means that if the Wraith have some sufficient power source, and they discover the coordinates, then they should be able to reach Earth from any 'Gate they want. The only other reason I can think of for all other 'Gates in the Pegasus Galaxy being unable to dial up Earth would be if those 'Gates didn't have all of the "buttons" (constellation-symbols) present, and thus are simply hard-coded to be incapable of dialing Earth. That would be a practical defense measure if the Ancients built the Pegasus Galaxy 'Gate system [i]after[/i] they encountered the Wraith, but I'd always assumed that they settled the galaxy first, and [i]then[/i] encountered the Wraith. But that also seems to me to be an unwarranted assumption at this stage, seeing as how so many of the 'Gates are as yet undiscovered by the Atlantis team. How would they [i]know[/i] for certain that [b]all[/b] of the other 'Gates are unable to dial Earth, without taking a complete survey of all the 'Gates in the galaxy? If there's even [b]one[/b] other 'Gate, somewhere in Pegasus, that can dial Earth, then they're screwed. [/QB][/QUOTE]
