[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] http://www.gateworld.net/omnipedia/technology/t/takunitagaminituron.shtml This epsiode, BEING a comedy episode, sorta belittles the Prometheus and her crew. Luckily she's operable by as few as one or two people... OTOH, I think that a partial explanation as to why Vala could take the ship over so easily was that there were so few people aboard in the first place. Why so few? It's more than likely that they were on a skeleton crew in case they had to evacuate everyone from Atlantis. This amounts to over a hundred people; add in stores and logistics for the trip there and back, and it figures they wanted to take a lean crew to Pegasus. There's no mention of HOW long transit to Atlantis would take, but it's probably significantly longer than four days - wait for the Atlantis finale for an explanation of that number. Daedelus is not mentioned in this episode - it's obstensibly the second in the BC-303 line of Earth warships, and a tip of the hat to the Macross anime that I know one of the writers has seen. :) The Al'kesh that Osiris had shows up again this season. It wouldn't be the first one the SGC had captured - another Al'kesh was captured by O'Neil and Teal'c last season, and they incorporated its hyperdrive into the Prometheus, which had been stranded on an alien planet since the previous year (when her original naquadria-enhanced hyperdrive overloaded). It follows with at least one Al'kesh being captured that the SGC would know how to operate it, as Walter so aptly demonstrated with this episode. :) The Ancients (Lanteans) may have only placed stargates in two galaxies, this one and in the Pegasus dwarf galaxy, but there's absolutely nothing to say that they didn't do so on many more. The one seen used by the Asgard may be the only one for all we know, used by them for travel intergalactically only, since their own FTL is pretty effective. We haven't seen other gates in the Ida galaxy, as near as I can remember... Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
