That's what I said - no helmets - but they did have those things that looked like they were from Gallifrey. Around their heads/necks.

And regarding the flat vortex in the movie, Timo may be onto something - in the movie on Abydos, the gate there seemed backed against a wall. If there were a vortex formed there, then the back wall shouldn't be so close.
Or we can more logically accept that the vortex CGI would simply be cheaper to animate as flat than flushed. On the flip side, I for one am quite glad that they never changed the original gate traveling sequence - that would just make it wierd.

Just watched the second season episode "A Matter of Time" and there's a good view of te backside of the gate which shows the vortex. Of course, there's also the possibility that the blackhole on the other side was effecting it....

The only time I can remember the whirlpool effect being shown in the TV series is the episode with the Black-hole.
So that was my suggestion - maybe the whirlpool at the back only happens after the gate hasn't been activated for many-a-year. Explaining why we've only really seen it happen in the movie.
So seeing as it was the only time seen apart from the movie one would conclude that it was because of the blackhole on the other end. Does anyone know if that was a new effects shot or just a reused shot from the Movie?

Obviously, I didn't see yours. I got as far as page 2 and stopped. Good of you to point it out, tho....
I'd have to pull out my "Stargate" DVD to see if it's the exact same scene from the movie. I'm thinking not, as the view was from overhead and I seem to recall all the views in the movie being from the sides, tho admit to not having watched the movie in a couple months now.

About the collapse of the helmets - I was watching the season 2 episode tonight where Sha're gives birth to the Harsesis child. Teal'c is in disguise in a Horus Guard uniform and helmet. His helmet collapses/folds up at one stage... nearly all the way... and then totaly. Of course there is the normal Jaffa 'neck collar' thing... but the rest of the helmet disappeared.
