• Apology  and plea to site users:
• My apologies for the extreme delay on this update -- along with starting to reformat the site layout, I've been basically rereading the entire site trying to fix a problem, and it's taking a very long time. Which leads me to the plea: if you spot something that looks very badly punctuated (as though there's a comma, semicolon, or dash missing), please let me know. At some point in the past six months, almost  all  of  the semicolons on the site have been eaten by my HTML editor. The only way to replace them is to go find where they're missing. I'm catching as many as I can as I go along, but it's going to take me forever on my own -- I'm very fond of semicolons, and use them a lot. Or used to, anyway... Thanks!

Additions/deletions:

• Added to Jack:
• Career:
  • Base commander:
  • Shortly after taking command, he had to put the base under lockdown for an apparent contagion -- which turned out to be Anubis, lurking around in energy form and infesting people in hopes of making it through the stargate in physical form. (Lockdown)
  • The Pentagon started getting antsy about the lockdown within a few days  -- by the time the situation had escalated to the SGC being physically split into three zones, with no crossing of the barriers between them by any personnel, for six days with no more activity on Anubis's part, President Hayes was calling Jack to be tetchy about the progress (or lack thereof). He gave Jack 24 more hours to reestablish normal gate operations. (Lockdown)
  • Jack's response was to lie through his teeth in a basewide announcement, saying he has the president's permission to continue the lockdown indefinitely. He assured everyone that they'd find a safe way to bring supplies down from the surface, because they only had enough food for another month. He was hoping to bluff Anubis into making a move -- it worked. (Lockdown)
  • A few weeks into his tenure (possibly as little as two, but likely no more than a month), Jack still hadn't reviewed any of the personnel files. (Zero Hour)
  • He had a particularly bad week just before the president arrived:
  • Day one:
  • Started running into some frustration from SG-1 when his priorities changed from team-only to entire-base where he once would have pushed to get SG-1 out in the field as soon as possible for a recon mission, now he was telling them to wait until there was an available slot, because there were already 14 teams offworld. (Zero Hour)
  • For what appeared to be the first negotiations held with offworlders during his tenure, Jack locked the bickering Amran representatives into VIP room 25R3-07 for several days, until they could " talk like adults" . It worked. (Zero Hour)
  • By the end of the day that he'd locked up the Amrans, Jack had begun a letter to George Hammond, starting it " Dear General Hammond, Wish you were here and that I was not." (Zero Hour)
  • He continued to work on the letter in fits and starts over the next several days. (Zero Hour)
  • Day two:
  • Not much better than the day before: the Amrans were furious, an alien plant had taken over an entire level of the base, SG-1 went missing on a standard recon mission, and Baal appeared as a hologram, offering an ultimatum: Camulus for the safe return of SG-1. (Zero Hour)
  • Day three:
  • Camulus arrived on the base from the facility where he was being held, and Jack went to talk with him. Camulus refused to tell him why Baal would want him, specifically, and then added that Baal couldn't be trusted in any event and that Jack would never see his friends again.
  • Jack went for the bluff: he had Camulus brought to the stargate in front of an active wormhole and gave him one last chance to tell him what he wanted to know, before he sent him through the stargate to Baal. Camulus didn't blink, and Jack sent him back to his cell. (Zero Hour)
  • Camulus changed his mind and told Jack about a world with an Ancient device that he couldn't get to work. Jack sent SG-3 to check it out, and they came back with a ZPM. (Zero Hour)
  • Day four:
  • By the next day, the plant had gotten into the base's electrical system, and the base was restricted to emergency lighting only until it could be eradicated the dialing computer was fried the inner ring of the stargate was locked Baal was pissy about Jack having missed the deadline and Jack hadn't slept in more than two days. That's when Dr. Lee asked Gilmor to get Jack to approve dosing the entire base with gamma radiation (with all non-essential personnel evacuated, and everyone else in protective suits) to try to kill the plant. (Zero Hour)
  • The representative from the president's office (not Gilmor) said he was cancelling the president's visit, given the incredibly chaotic state of the SGC at the moment Jack told him to wait one more day. (Zero Hour)
  • The irradiation worked on the plant, but the ZPM started glowing unexpectedly it turned out to be booby-trapped to a degree that would have wiped out the planet (possibly the solar system) if it had been plugged in at the Ancient outpost in Antarctica as planned. Jack confronted Camulus, who admitted he'd done it. (Zero Hour)
  • Jack cut him a deal -- freedom and the chance to kill Baal with the doctored ZPM, in exchange for asking for SG-1's return. Camulus agreed, and went through the gate, escorted by SG-3. (Zero Hour)
  • With no one the wiser, Jack had switched out the booby-trapped ZPM with the dead ZPM from Antarctica, to make sure Baal never got the chance to figure out the damage potential in the tampered-with one and use it against Earth. (Zero Hour)
  • SG-3 returned an hour later than planned, still without SG-1. (Zero Hour)
  • Day five:
  • The next day, as Jack was continuing to work on his resignation letter, Gilmor informed him that Colonel Reynolds wanted to see him in the gateroom. When Jack went down, Reynolds and all the SG team members on the base were waiting for him. Reynolds told him that whatever he decided to do, they were all behind him one hundred percent. (Zero Hour)
  • On his way home for the first time all week, just as he got on the elevator, the klaxon sounded an offworld activation. He headed back to the control room at a run, to be informed that it was SG-1's IDC. (Zero Hour)
  • At first he was forced to deny them entry to the SGC, believing them to have been in enemy hands and thus a security risk. After they explained that they were under heavy Jaffa fire on P2X-887, where they had been trapped for days in a secret base, he changed his mind and let them come home. Empty-handed, alas. (Zero Hour)
  • Day six:
  • He reassured Sam that her actions on P2X-887 had been appropriate, even though SG-1 had gotten trapped and then ambushed. (Zero Hour)
  • Sam explained that she'd looked at Dr. Lee's analysis of the booby-trapped ZPM and thought he was wrong -- the blast could have destoyed the solar system, not just Earth. She carefully pointed out that now Baal could use that as a weapon against Earth Jack said that was why he'd given Camulus the dead ZPM from Antarctica. Sam looked impressed. (Zero Hour)
  • Had to put on dress blues for the president's arrival. (Zero Hour)
  • He finished his resignation letter with " Never mind" and signed it, leaving it on his desk when he went to greet the president (Zero Hour)
  • Petitioned the OSI for approval for Teal'c to live offbase. (Affinity)
  • The request was approved under certain provisions -- mainly that Teal'c keep a low profile. (Affinity)
  • When Teal'c kept doing things like stopping three guys from beating up on another guy, the OSI got pissy about it, and Jack sent Daniel to Teal'c's apartment to talk to him about it, warn him to tone it down a bit. (Affinity)
  • When Teal'c was captured and returned to the SGC on suspicion of murder, Jack took him at his word that he didn't do it, and put him back in his old quarters with no guard. The OSI (in the form of Colonel Kendrick) got even more pissy, and demanded that he be placed in a holding cell, or he'd be moved elsewhere. (Affinity)
• Virtual deaths (confirmed):
• 2 times while fighting times kull warriors invading the base. (Avatar)
• The number is solely for those that were shown on screen multiple others occurred offscreen, during other rounds of the same simulation (at least one of them is confirmed by conversation among the avatar versions of SG-1, and the way the scenario is set up, he likely died in every single repetition of the game during the extended simulation until the final one). (Avatar)
• These are not real deaths they occur in a virtual-reality training program. I'm listing them here mainly for vidders looking for clips.
• The real Jack was completely unconnected to the game, and felt nothing when his avatar was killed. (Avatar)
• Food preferences:
• Krispy Kreme donuts (Zero Hour)
• Misc.:
• Has a picture of himself and Charlie on the table near his office door, after he took command of the SGC. (Lockdown)
• Stationed in Zone 2 on base during the phase of lockdown that was intended to try to force Anubis into using his asceneded powers, so that the Ancients would notice and deal with him. (Lockdown)
• Despite having been promoted to a rank sufficient to allow it, he couldn't quite bring himself to call General Hammond " George" , even when Hammond told him to -- " I know, sir, but every time I open my mouth to say 'George', 'General' comes out." (Zero Hour)
• Like Hammond, Jack uses a laptop at his desk as base commander. (Zero Hour)
• His locker is still in the public locker room, next to Teal'c's (with Daniel's next to that). (Zero Hour)
• That locker room appeared to be on level 28 later in the same episode, he used a locker room on level 25 to change into his dress blues. (Zero Hour)
• Much prefers comfortable BDUs to wearing dress blues, and waited as long as possible before changing for the president's arrival. (Zero Hour)
• Jack's letter to Hammond (as much as I could hear and see, anyway):

Dear General Hammond,

Wish you were here and that I was not.

I knew it wasn't easy for you, but had I known what it was really like, I would have tried to be less of a pain in the ass. At least, I would have tried harder.

[unknown page and a half worth of letter]

I miss being [active? unknown rest of paragraph, other than" big" on the second line, " for knowledge" on the third, and " paper cuts" on the fourth/last line]

And so I regretfully submit my resignation. And to be clear, the regret is not so much about the resigning part, but the fact that I was deluded enough to think I had possessed even one iota of the ability needed to fill your sizable [and shiny -- this was in voiceover, but didn't appear in the typed text] shoes.

Never mind
 

Jack O'Neill
Brigadier General Jack O'Neill

• Added to Daniel:
• Severe injuries:
  • Zatted then shot in the shoulder in Lockdown, while suffering a physical reaction to the " infection" of Anubis. The combination was severe enough that Dr. Brightman implied his life had been in danger at least briefly before she got him stabilized, and he was confined to the infirmary for a while. (Lockdown)
  • Various injuries during an attack on the Rand Protectorate's capital city, including facial lacerations, a possible head wound (he was unconscious for an undisclosed period, and his memory of the attack was sketchy), and an injured arm that required a sling. (Icon)
• Possessions/controlled:
  • Anubis briefly took possession of him in an attempt to escape Earth through the stargate. While possessed, Daniel took an SG-11 team member hostage, was zatted by Teal'c, tried to shoot Jack (never got the shot off), and was shot in the shoulder by Jack. (Lockdown)
    • Unlike everyone else who had been infested by Anubis, Daniel was able to consciously remember being possessed almost immediately, as soon as Sam told him that they believed an alien entity had taken him over temporarily. Moreover, he knew immediately that it had been Anubis. (Lockdown)
  • (Goa'ulded as a virtual-reality avatar not at all real, but if you're a vidder looking for a clip of glowing-eyed Daniel, here it is. (Avatar) )
• Virtual deaths (confirmed):
• 2 times while fighting kull warriors on the base as a pure avatar. (Avatar)
• 2 times as himself, inside the game. (Avatar)
• These numbers are solely for those that were shown on screen multiple others occurred offscreen (at least for the avatar-only Daniel), during other rounds of the same simulation. (Avatar)
• Several times, Daniel's avatar was a Goa'uld (once visibly, on screen). (Avatar)
• These are not real deaths they occur in a virtual-reality training program. I'm listing them here mainly for vidders looking for clips.
• Nevertheless, while Daniel had no connection to the deaths before he entered the game to save Teal'c, any death after that was one he felt to a certain degree. When his avatar died, his body reacted. (Avatar)
• Misc.:
• Trapped offworld (not imprisoned, just unable to contact/return home without help):
• About four days, with Sam and Teal'c, in a secret underground base on P2X-887. (Zero Hour)
• Six weeks in the Rand Protectorate, after being caught in the midst of a war. (Icon)
• Random misc:
• Stationed in Zone 3 on base during the phase of lockdown that was intended to try to force Anubis into using his asceneded powers, so that the Ancients would notice and deal with him. (Lockdown)
• When Teal'c was trapped in a virtual-reality simulation, Jack, Sam, and Daniel all volunteered to go in after him to help pull him out. Daniel was the one who was sent in, because he didn't have the military tactical knowledge that the others did, for the game to draw on to make things even more difficult. (Avatar)
• The first time Teal'c spotted him in the game, he shot and killed him, believing him to be a Goa'uld. He kept shooting him every time, until Daniel finally snuck up on him and zatted him.
• Watches the History Channel.  (Affinity)
• Gave Teal'c a fern as a house-warming present. (Affinity)
• Added to Sam:
• Marital status:
  • Engaged to Pete Shanahan as of mid  eighth season.   (Affinity)
• Romantic interests:
  • Pete:
  • Turning steadily more serious  -- after considering his proposal for two weeks or so, she accepted. (Affinity)
  • He had proposed to her out of the blue, taking her completely by surprise. She took the ring in its box, but didn't put it on, needing to think about it before she made her decision. Pete was patient about it, not pressuring her. After his unhesitating help to clear Teal'c and find Daniel, she told him yes. (Affinity)
• Career:
• Developed a code translation program that allowed the science team working on the virtual-reality training simulator to visually monitor Teal'c's (and then Daniel's) progress in the game -- his mental point of view was translated into what amounted to a video game on the computer screen hooked up to the simulator. (Avatar)
• Possessions/controlled:
  • Possessed by Anubis, after Jack made a base-wide announcement that he had presidential authority to continue the lockdown indefinitely.
  • Anubis used Sam to gain access to the control room that allowed him to unseal the corridors between zones 1 and 2, and set several timed commnads into the system in the meantime, he zatted several SFs and Daniel. (Lockdown)
  • Before he could make it to the gateroom, Jack zatted Sam in Zone 2. (Lockdown)
• Virtual deaths (confirmed)
• 3 times while fighting kull warriors on the base. (Avatar)
• The number is solely for those that were shown on screen multiple others occurred offscreen, during other rounds of the same simulation. (Avatar)
• These are not real deaths they occur in a virtual-reality training program. I'm listing them here mainly for vidders looking for clips.
• Sam herself was not involved in any way it was literally her avatar that died, while she was not connected to the program. (Avatar)
• Misc.:
  • Stationed in Zone 3 on base during the phase of lockdown that was intended to try to force Anubis into using his asceneded powers, so that the Ancients would notice and deal with him. (Lockdown)
  • Trapped offworld:
  • For about four days, with Daniel and Teal'c, in a secret underground base on P2X-887. (Zero Hour)
• Added to Teal'c:
• Friends:
  • Krista James
  • Eric
• Romantic interests:
  • Krista James
  • Had a promising beginning, but after Krista killed her boyfriend and Teal'c was framed for it (by the Trust, not Krista), and he wound up in a holding cell while the Trust kidnapped her to use against him, and to use as leverage against Daniel if need be... it all sorta went south, and they said goodbye when Teal'c moved away. (Affinity)
• Surroundings :
  • After seven years of living on the base, Teal'c arranged to move into an apartment. (Lockdown)
    • It's not clear if this happened, since he still seemed to have paperwork to take care of, and was stuck on the base in a lockdown during the time he would have finished signing for the new place. (Lockdown)
  • In 2004, Teal'c moved into an apartment for a while. (Affinity)
  • Number 403, address unknown. (Affinity)
  • The units were numbered consecutively, rather than odd on one side and even on the other. (Affinity)
  • Decorated it, in Daniel's words, in " Jaffa chic with an East African flair" -- warm neutral earth tone on the wall (looks to me like the color of Glidden's " Inheritance" , or possibly " Boston Cream" ), with tribal art on the walls and mantel. (Affinity)
  • There's an alcove just off the door, and a fireplace with marble (-looking, at least) mantle and surround on the wall next to the alcove. (Affinity)
  • Nothing noticeably fancy in the way of electronics -- the tv is 24 or 27 inches, no more, and there's one VCR hooked up to it (possibly a DVD player, but it looks like a VCR to me). (Affinity)
  • As usual, he had lots of candles everywhere -- he seemed to still prefer them for nighttime lighting. (Affinity)
  • The deal for him to live offbase was that he keep a low profile, draw no attention to himself. He didn't make the OSI happy by defending himself against other people when he tried to stop their unlawful activities. (Affinity)
  • After he was framed for murder (and cleared almost immediately thereafter), the OSI revoked his permission, and forced him to move back to the base. (Affinity)
• Vehicle:
  • Black SUV of some sort. (Affinity)
  • I'm bad at car details, but horrible at SUV details -- they all look the same to me. I couldn't get a look at the model name when Teal'c closed the hatch in back, so I have no idea what kind this was. (Affinity)
  • This might be  a  vehicle  from an SGC pool,  not  his  personal  vehicle,  but  fwiw, the plate looked like a regular Colorado plate. (Affinity)
• Career:
  • Agreed to let himself become part of the SGC's new virtual-reality training program, to increase the simulation's realism and difficulty, after experiencing what the scientists had come up with using themselves as templates for the game to learn from. (Avatar)
• Virtual deaths (confirmed):
• 21 times while fighting kull warriors on the base. (Avatar)
• 14 of these were shown 7 happened offscreen (but Teal'c specifically mentioned other rounds of the game, in which he has to have died).
• There were countless others that didn't get shown or mentioned. (Avatar)
• Some of the deaths were from being shot, others were from being blown up. (Avatar)
• These are not real deaths they occur in a virtual-reality training program. I'm listing them here mainly for vidders looking for clips.
• Nevertheless, Teal'c experienced each death to a certain degree, since he was actually inside the program at the time, mentally connected to his avatar, and the program was taking its cues from him -- Teal'c expected it to hurt, knowing that someone's tactics would be completely different if they knew they wouldn't feel any pain. When his avatar died, the chair delivered a strong, painful jolt to his physical body. (Avatar)
• Near-deaths:
  • Frequent " sympathetic" adrenaline spikes while he was in the virtual-reality simulation chair were causing blood pressure and heartrate way too high to be sustained over the long term. Before it was all over, despite some preventive measures taken to try to help, his heart stopped and it took a shot straight to the heart (probably epinephrine) to get it restarted. (Avatar)
  • nb: This could technically be a confirmed death, since he did flatline, but the doctor was right there and got the needle in right away.
• Misc.:
  • Musical tastes:
    • Blues (listening to blues in the car while driving Krista around)   (Affinity)
  • Trapped offworld:
  • For about four days, with Sam and Daniel, in a secret underground base on P2X-887. (Zero Hour)
  • Random misc:
  • Stationed in Zone 2 on base during the phase of lockdown that was intended to try to force Anubis into using his asceneded powers, so that the Ancients would notice and deal with him. He seemed to be assigned the protection of the control room and gateroom. (Lockdown)
  • Has played Def Jam Vendetta. (Avatar)
  • His confidence in his own abilities, and his determination never to quit, nearly proved his undoing while a test subject in the virtual-reality training simulator chair. (Avatar)
  • Because he didn't think the program was difficult enough, it began drawing on his knowledge and experience to complicate the scenarios, making it impossible for him to win. (Avatar)
  • Because in reality Teal'c wouldn't ever quit in a given scenario that the simulator was throwing at him, it refused to let him out of the game when he finally went for the failsafe escape route, beaten down after too many deaths in a row. (Avatar)
  • The true crux of the problem was that deep down, Teal'c didn't believe that the Goa'uld could be defeated, at least not by himself acting alone. It took the addition of Daniel into the game playing alongside him to start to shift things in their favor, and later the addition of the avatars of Jack and Sam. The four of them together defeated the game, and ended the program before it could kill Teal'c in reality. (Avatar)
  • When Sam used a neural imprint of Teal'c's brain from six years earlier, when he was in the original virtual reality chair on the Gamekeeper's world, she ran hundreds of simulations, and each one just got harder with no way for Teal'c to win -- he never gave up, and he clearly never believed that the Goa'uld could be defeated. (Avatar)
  • Living offbase:
  • When he moved into his apartment, he discovered home design and decorating shows on televisions. (Affinity)
  • His cover story was that Daniel had brought him over from Mozambique to be his research assistant. (Affinity)
  • He covered up his tattoo when possible.  When  he  couldn't  cover  it, he said it was a tribal mark from his homeland. (Affinity)
  • One of the neighborhood boys, Eric, called him " T" . (Affinity)
  • He still seemed to prefer to use candlelight at night, rather than electric lights. (Affinity)
  • While he was living offbase, there were several incidents that made the OSI nervous, when he he tried to help people in trouble: in one case, a  situation  with  an old man and some teenagers in the park, in another, a guy with a pit bull, and finally, three guys tailgating another guy and colliding with him, then going after him physically until Teal'c intervened.   (Affinity)
  • By the incident with the tailgaters, OSI was concerned enough to go to Jack without an appointment. Jack sent Daniel to explain to Teal'c that people in the community generally didn't get involved in situations that " aren't their business" , and by helping out, he was also standing out. (Affinity)
  • When Teal'c's neighbor/friend Krista came over to ask for help, Teal'c started to politely decline, either because Daniel was still there and it would be rude to leave a guest, or because of Daniel's warning about not helping people. Daniel took one look at this attractive woman and solved both problems by taking his leave and telling Teal'c on his way out that " every rule has its exceptions" . (Affinity)
  • His next-door neigbor was Krista James, with whom he struck up a friendship. He helped out around her apartment at least once, fixing her pipes. At one point she made cookies as a friendly bribe to ask him to help with the pipes again. (Affinity)
  • After she broke up with her boyfriend, she spotted him practicing lok'nel (ancient martial arts training) in the park, and asked him to teach her. He did, apparently daily for the next couple of weeks -- she learned quickly. (Affinity)
  • Things seemed to be heading for the romantic toward the end of that, but apparently nothing happened. (Affinity)
  • Teal'c didn't like her boyfriend  -- the first time he met him, Doug was drunk and being loud in the hallway, very obnoxious and pushy. The second time, after Krista took him back, Teal'c believed that Doug had injured her, and very coolly told him that if he ever injured Krista again, he'd kill him where he stood. (Affinity)
  • Unfortunately, he said that while Mrs. Connors, another neighbor, was standing in her open door across the hall, and she heard him. (Affinity)
  • When he spotted Krista sitting in the hallway one day and went to see if she was okay, she convinced him to just get in a car with her and go, saying she needed to get away. (Affinity)
  • He drove them to a motel, where she finally kissed him (and one thing led to another...). When he woke up the next morning and reached for her, she was gone. (Affinity)
  • Before he could even get dressed, heavily armed OSI agents were knocking at the door, and basically  arrested  him on suspicion of kidnapping and murder. (Affinity)
  • He wasn't brought to a holding facility  -- he was returned to the SGC, where Jack let him stay in his old quarters, believing him when Teal'c said he didn't do it. (Affinity)
  • Doesn't have a green thumb: he managed to kill the fern Daniel gave him as a house-warming present (looked to me like he never bothered to water the poor thing). (Affinity)
• Added to SGC:
  • History:
• In early 2004, Anubis managed to gain access to the SGC after infesting a Russian colonel, Alexi Vaselov, who then transferred there. When he was discovered, the SGC was put under lockdown for at least a week. (Lockdown)
• The SGC was physically divided into three sections, or zones (by means of sealed bulkheads). (Lockdown)
• Zone 1: Included the relay center controlling the power to the gateroom for the duration of the zoned lockdown. (Lockdown)
• Zone 2: Included the control room, gateroom, and surrounding areas. Jack and Teal'c were stationed in this zone.(Lockdown)
• Zone 3: Included the control center used during the lockdown to keep the corridors between zones 1 and 2 sealed. Sam and Daniel were stationed in this zone.(Lockdown)
• Power to the gate was shut off, and was not accessible from the control room. (Lockdown)
• Power to the gate (Zone 2) could only be re-established from a relay center in Zone 1. (Lockdown)
• The only way to unseal the corridors between zones 1 and 2 was at a control center in Zone 3. (Lockdown)
• All SGC personnel were confined within a given zone, and not allowed to move between zones (not even Jack) until the lockdown ended. (Lockdown)
• Food, medical supplies, and medical personnel were equally distributed among the zones. (Lockdown)
• The medical teams continued the daily physical examinations to check for signs of infestation. (Lockdown)
• After bouncing around to various people, including Sam and Jack, Anubis returned to Vaselov's body and went through the gate to what he hoped was freedom instead, Sam had reprogrammed the dialing sequence, and sent him to a snowplain so cold that Vaselov froze to death just a few steps from the stargate, stranding Anubis there. (Lockdown)
• Timeline:
• 2004: A few weeks into Jack's tenure as base commander (at least two, and likely no more than a month), President Hayes is scheduled to come to the base in person to congratulate him on his new command. Hayes sends a man in ahead of him, undercover as Jack's new civilian administrative aide, to make sure Jack isn't going to embarrass with incompetence when he arrives. (Zero Hour)
• During the week:
• Jack locks two bickering Amran representatives into a room together until they can start behaving reasonably. (Zero Hour)
• SG-1 goes missing on an abandoned Anubis planet, and Baal claims to have captured them. (Zero Hour)
• Baal demands Camulus in trade, for returning SG-1. (Zero Hour)
• A plant brought back to the SGC by SG-8 runs amok and effectively shuts down the entire base, including the stargate and the dialing computer, making it impossible to dial out. (Zero Hour)
• In the end, the plant is eradicated, Jack trades (a willing) Camulus and a dead ZPM to Baal, SG-1 rescues themselves from the secret base where they've been trapped alone, and the Amrans are set free -- all in time for the president's visit. (Zero Hour)
• Cheyenne Mountain Complex:
  • Levels:
    • Level 20:
      • Armory -- room 2067-95 (Avatar)
      • nb: We see this in Teal'c's virtual-reality simulation, but there's no reason to think it's not accurate he'd know where all the armories are, and the program was taking its information directly from him.
    • Level 25:
      • The bickering Amran representatives were locked into VIP room 25R3-07 until they could " talk like adults" -- which took several days. (Zero Hour)
    • Level 27:
      • Administrative aide's office, just down the hall a few steps from the general's office. (Zero Hour)
• Military codes:
• Situational codes:
• Threat level Foxtrot Alpha Six:
• The threat level given in the virtual reality simulation when two kull warriors invade the base, so -- pretty high. (Avatar)
• Technology:
• Other alien:
• ZPM
• Zero point module.
• An Ancient power source that draws its energy from subspace.
• Technically, the ZPM that Jack and SG-1 brought back from Praclarush Taonas was kept at the Antarctic site, to power the defensive weapon there. The ZPM was brought to the SGC to power the gate for a trip to the Pegasus Galaxy, though, which drained it completely. (Stargate Atlantis: Rising)
• SG-3 brought a second ZPM through the gate to the SGC after Camulus told Jack about a world with an Ancient device the ZPM wasn't " plugged in" . Before they sent it along to Antarctica to be used in the Ancient chair there, the scientists ran some tests on it, the dosed it with gamma radiation when they dosed the entire base. It began to glow oddly, and the scientists discovered it had been laced with a violently explosive element that went off when exposed to electrical current. They didn't send the ZPM to Antarctica presumably, it's in storage safely away from any current. (Zero Hour)
• Tau'ri (converted or invented):
  • Virtual-reality training chair:
  • The scientists at the SGC spent two years working on a chair they got from the Residents on P7J-989, turning it into a simulator that could be used by SGC personnel as a training tool. (Avatar)
  • The program interfaces the user's memories with the chair's matrix, so the simulation learns its realism from whoever's in the chair. (Avatar)
  • By all appearances, the science team were the subjects for all of the initial testing, so the program learned its parameters from them. (Avatar)
  • In 2004, it was ready for a real test Teal'c tried it first, in a simulation of an Anubis drone (kull warrior) making it onto the base. He killed the drone in 49 seconds flat, and told Dr. Lee and his team that the program was too easy the drones were far more formidable than the simulation. (Avatar)
  • Dr. Lee asked Teal'c to help them build a better simulation, by letting them use his memories as he played the game to expand the game's parameters and difficulty level to something more realistic. Teal'c agreed. (Avatar)
  • Sam's contribution was a new code translation program, hooked up to the simulator, which allowed the science team to visually monitor Teal'c's progress on a computer screen as if watching a video game of Teal'c's point of view. (Avatar)
  • There was a two-second delay between the processor and Teal'c's perceived experience inside the game. (Avatar)
  • If I understand Sam's explantion correctly, this is what happens:
  • The processor sends information about a situation directly into Teal'c's mind, but not as sensory information -- it's pure data working on an subconscious level.
  • Teal'c's subconscious (stored memories, knowledge, personality traits, etc.) reacts to the data, and that reaction is sent to a data recorder.
  • The data recorder provides a graphic display for the people watching on the computer screen, and also sends the information to the processor, which incorporates it and:
  • The processor sends the new, cohesive information to Teal'c as a sensory experience.
  • The team planned to store every aspect of Teal'c's experience, then pick and choose what would be added to the final simulation program later. (Avatar)
  • Once Teal'c's mind was interfaced with the chair, the team couldn't remove the connection or cut power to the chair without endangering him. (Avatar)
  • The only way he could get out of the game was to complete the scenario (in this case, kill the kull warrior[s] invading the base) or head for the failsafe -- take the elevator to the surface. (Avatar)
  • The chair adapted itself to deliver a strong pain response when Teal'c died in the game, since Teal'c expected being shot to hurt. (Avatar)
  • The chair was limited to only non-lethal jolts, but the scientists hadn't factored in cumulative damage from multiple non-lethal jolts. (Avatar)
  • Shortcomings aside, if the scientists could get this into workable shape, it would be a tremendous training tool, letting new recruits get a taste of what they would be up against before they had to face it for real.
• Added to SGC Personnel:
• Bosco:
• Rank unknown.
• Member of SG-3. (Zero Hour)
• He was on the team when it provided backup to SG-1 on P2X-887, a planet that had belonged to Anubis, guarding the stargate while SG-1 explored, until SG-1 went missing. (Zero Hour)
• Dr. Brightman:
  • Took over Frasier's role as chief medical officer. Not long after she started, she had to deal with what she thought was an unknown contagion, which turned out to be Anubis, trying to gain a physical form to allow him to pass through the stargate. (Lockdown)
• Dr. Carmichael:
• Part of the SGC's medical staff. (Avatar)
• Sam called him to science lab 5 to look at Teal'c when Teal'c was hooked up to the virtual-reality chair, after his bio readings started to get worrying. (Avatar)
• He agreed with her (and Dr. Lee's) concerns: Teal'c's body was generating sympathetic adrenaline spikes for what was going on in the game, elevating his blood pressure and heartrate to levels too dangerous to sustain over a long period. (Avatar)
• He was frustrated by his inability to help Teal'c -- he didn't dare pull him out of the chair and couldn't introduce an electrical current (from a crash cart) in the event of cardiac arrest. When Teal'c's heart actually did stop, his only option was to inject a drug (probably epinephrine) directly into his heart -- which he didn't dare do a second time. (Avatar)
• Captain Corrigan:
• Possibly in charge of the SGC commissary he or she was awaiting Jack's approval for the buffet menu for the president's visit. (Zero Hour)
• Sgt. Davis:
• Name:
• Walter (Harriman):
• By eighth season, his name is back to Walter (very obviously -- Jack calls him by his first name all the time after being promoted to general) despite seasons' worth of nametags that said " Norman" . (Zero Hour)
• His last name may have changed to Harriman, which was originally a fannish mondegreen from There But For the Grace of God -- he was addressed as " Airman" in that episode, but fans misinterpreted the drawled word as " Harriman" , and assumed that was his name despite his nametag, which consistently said " Davis" .
• During the virtual-reality simulation, Daniel refers to something " Sergeant Harriman" said over the PA before he was killed, and given the history with the name, it's unlikely he meant anyone else. (Avatar)
• Personal note: All of this [the constant changing of his name] is making me completely insane, and I'm damned if I'm going to change every reference to him on this site every time they decide they're bored with his name. He was Sergeant [Something] Davis for seven years, and that's how I'm keeping him. I'm going with Walter since it's the only first name we've heard spoken aloud.
• Married (visible ring), at least as of eighth season. (Zero Hour)
• After Jack took command of the base, Walter functioned as his aide, apparently unofficially. He was very happy to find out that Jack had been assigned a civilian administrative aide. (Zero Hour)
• Lieutenant Evans:
• Part of the medical staff (most likely a nurse). (Lockdown)
• Daniel believed that she was the person Anubis went into after he left Daniel, switching hosts as Daniel was being readied for surgery. (Lockdown)
• She was arrested coming out of the commissary and taken to be questioned by Sam. (Lockdown)
• She had been checked by Dr. Brightman hours earlier and been cleared, but when Sam pressed her, she had no memory of what she'd done on Tuesday afternoon (the day Anubis shifted from Vaselov to Daniel to her). (Lockdown)
• Mark Gilmor:
• Ostensibly assigned to the SGC as Jack's administrative aide, sent by Hammond. (Zero Hour)
• In reality, he was sent by the president to make sure Jack was competent enough at his job that the president wouldn't be making a fool of himself by coming out personally in a few days to shake his hand and congratulate him on his promotion. (Zero Hour)
• He worked as an analyst at the CIA for eight years, mostly doing background checks, but had top-level clearance. (Zero Hour)
• His office at the SGC was just down the hall from Jack's on Level 27, at the end of a corridor. (Zero Hour)
• He was very efficient in keeping track of Jack's schedule (and the schedule for offworld missions, etc.) right from the beginning. (Zero Hour)
• He accompanied Jack pretty much everywhere, PDA at the ready. Despite his definite ability and helpfulness, he was fairly doubtful at first about many of the decisions Jack was making -- allowing an alien plant on base, locking up offworld diplomats, etc. (Zero Hour)
• He was even more obviously dubious about the fact that Jack seemed to be seriously considering trading Camulus to Baal for SG-1 Gilmor believed it was already too late to save them. He said so to Colonel Reynolds, who gave him a quiet, intense earful about Jack's treatment at Baal's hands and how SG-1 had never given up on him, and how now neither Jack nor anyone else at the SGC was going to give up on SG-1. (Zero Hour)
• When Jack gave every indication that he was going to send Camulus through the stargate to Baal because Camulus hadn't given him the information he wanted (about why Baal wanted him in the first place), Gilmor was pretty much aghast, believing it was a complete waste he argued with Jack about it on the way to the gateroom, then gave up and went for the control room to watch. When he realized it was a bluff, he followed Jack to the elevator, telling Jack he couldn't do his job if Jack didn't trust him Jack wasn't impressed. (Zero Hour)
• When Baal showed up (in hologram form) early the next day, Gilmor was once again taken aback by Jack's attitude -- he looked fairly disbelieving as Jack mocked and baited Baal, and called him on it after Baal left. Jack, again, wasn't impressed. (Zero Hour)
• When he realized that Jack intended to honor his side of the bargain to let Camulus go -- Camulus's information about the planet with the Ancient device had been accurate, and the SGC had picked up a half-charged ZPM out of the deal -- Gilmor argued that it would be better not to let him go. (Zero Hour)
• At some point, he released the Amran delegates [probably around the day before the president's visit, given everything that was going on and the fact that the gate couldn't be dialed for about a day]. He reported to Jack that Major Davis said they were much more willing to negotiate now. (Zero Hour)
• Just before the president came down the elevator, Gilmor told Jack the truth about who he was and why he was there, and said he'd be leaving after the visit. He was a bit taken aback to find out Jack had known all along, but recovered nicely and told Jack how much he respected both the job he did and Jack himself. (Zero Hour)
• Hammond:
  • Career:
    • Post-SGC
    • Stationed at the Pentagon. (Zero Hour)
    • He called to warn Jack that Gilmor was a plant, sent by the president to check up on Jack before the president's visit. (Zero Hour)
    • He fully expected Jack to start calling him George after Jack's promotion. (Zero Hour)
• Major Kearney:
• He was part of the search for Airman McCaffrey when suspicions were raised that McCaffrey could be Anubis's current host. He found the man McCaffrey had injured and called it in. (Lockdown)
• He was stationed in Zone 2 during the zoned part of the lockdown. (Lockdown)
• When Anubis made it into Zone 2 inside Sam, Kearney found Jack standing near Sam's zatted body. (Lockdown)
• Jack took Kearney with him to the room with the manual self-destruct, and ordered him to ready his key. Kearney obeyed, and helped set the self-destruct on a five-minute countdown. (Lockdown)
• Immediately afterward, Anubis-possessed Jack praised him, then zatted him. (Lockdown)
• Lee:
• He was working with the plant SG-8 brought back from P6J-908. In the space of roughly four hours, it grew from a seed to a small plant, and it just kept going from there. (Zero Hour)
• When the plant had grown to cover the lab and start in on the hallway outside by the next morning, Lee was thrilled -- he seemed to be taking a genuine enjoyment in the plant's rampant vitality. (Zero Hour)
• The enjoyment didn't even seem to fade much when the plant got into the walls as well (a day or two later) and effectively shut down power to the base by interrupting various systems. (Zero Hour)
• Eventually Lee (and his team) decided that gamma radiation would probably kill the plant. To do so, all non-essential personnel would have to be evacuated, and everyone else would have to wear radiation suits. He got Gilmor to pass the idea along to Jack he didn't want to do it himself, knowing that Jack hadn't slept in more than two days. (Zero Hour)
• It worked the plant was eradicated, and full power was quickly restored. (Zero Hour)
• When Reynolds and SG-3 brought back a ZPM from the planet Camulus had told Jack about, Lee promptly appeared to take charge of it, explaining what it was to Gilmor and doing a prelimary test that showed roughly 50% power left. (Zero Hour)
• After the base was exposed to gamma radiation to kill off the alien plant, the ZPM began glowing in a way it shouldn't. Lee figured out that it had been tampered with the ZPM, introducing a foreign element. It reacted very strongly to a constant electric charge, exploding with a great deal of force even with just a microscopic sample. (Zero Hour)
• Lee believed that if they'd sent it to Antarctica as planned and it had been plugged into the Ancient outpost as a power source, the explosion would have destroyed the world. (Zero Hour)
• He admitted that he couldn't undo the tampering when Jack pushed him a little. (Zero Hour)
• He was part of a team (possibly the leader) that was working on a virtual reality chair, based on technology gained from the (former) Residents on P7J-989. (Avatar)
• The team tested it for two years, using themselves (apparently) for subjects to give the game human knowledge/memories to work from. (Avatar)
• When they had a complete, working scenario, they asked Teal'c to test it for them Teal'c beat the scenario in under a minute, and told them it was too easy. (Avatar)
• Dr. Lee shifted rapidly from a slightly negative reaction at being told the game was too easy, to acknowledgement that they hadn't been able to test on real warriors, to looking at Teal'c and lighting up, and convincing him to be their test subject. (Avatar)
• When Teal'c got trapped in the game, Lee worked with Sam to come up with a way to help him, by sneaking another person (Daniel) into the game but outside the recording loop. (Avatar)
• personal note: Lee appears to be more of a Renaissance man than a scientist he's worked on alien life forms, archaeology, alien technology, developing body armor, bomb defusing/reprograming, biology (plants), Ancient technology, and virtual-reality engineering, in just four years.
• Airman Malcolm McCaffrey:
  • Another host for Anubis, while Anubis was bouncing around the base trying to avoid detection/capture and make his way offworld through the stargate. (Lockdown)
  • He missed his scheduled mandatory physical and remained unaccounted for, triggering suspicions. (Lockdown)
  • When the search for him was underway, he ambushed an SF walking alone, slamming him into a wall and taking his sidearm. (Lockdown)
  • He headed for the control room, shooting the SF on guard near the bottom of the stairs. (Lockdown)
  • Jack, Sam, and Teal'c arrived in time for Jack to zat him before he could get the technician on duty to dial the gate (he had a gun to the back of the man's neck). (Lockdown)
  • Anubis abandoned his body and headed into the walls. (Lockdown)
• Sergeant O'Brien
  • One of the gate technicians. He was on duty when SG-1 dialed in from P2X-887, after everyone thought they'd been captured by Baal. He sent a hold signal to them and waited for Jack to give further orders. (Zero Hour)
• Peterson:
• Rank unknown.
• Member of SG-3. (Zero Hour)
• He was on the team when it provided backup to SG-1 on P2X-887, a planet that had belonged to Anubis, guarding the stargate while SG-1 explored, until SG-1 went missing. (Zero Hour)
• Reynolds:
• Still in command of SG-3 as of early eighth season. (Zero Hour)
• Although he outranked Sam (even in the unlikely event that he's not a full colonel, he would have at least three years' seniority on her as a lieutenant colonel), he went along with her decision to leave SG-3 to guard the stargate on a standard recon mission to P2X-887, where SG-3 was acting as backup to SG-1. (Zero Hour)
• After roughly 15 minutes with no contact with SG-1, after seeing an al-kesh fly by overhead, Reynolds contacted the SGC to apprise them of the situation (it had been 19 minutes without contact by the time he finished reporting to Jack, who had been in his office when Reynolds called in).
• After Baal's ultimatum demanding Camulus in exchange for SG-1, Reynolds did a little research and came up with some suggestions for planets they could use to make the exchange, in the event Jack was really thinking of going through with it. (Zero Hour)
• As he handed over the list, he made his case for the SGC's not being able to trust Baal, and not being able to open the iris to let SG-1 through because it could be a trap, then asked if Jack was seriously considering the exchange.
• When Gilmor overheard Jack say that the exchange was " on the table" , he asked Reynolds if it wasn't already too late. Reynolds went very cool and distant and told him about Jack being tortured and killed repeatedly at Baal's hands, and how SG-1 never gave up on him he said Jack wouldn't give up on them now, and neither would a single man or woman on the base. (Zero Hour)
• He led his team to the world Camulus told Jack about, and found the Ancient device as promised (" about the size of a room" ). He had no idea what it was, but knew why Camulus hadn't been able to turn it on -- he brought the disconnected ZPM back to the SGC with him. (Zero Hour)
• Reynolds was the spokesman for every SG team member still on base during the crisis, when they all gathered in the gateroom to tell Jack they were behind him one hundred percent, no matter what he decided to do. (Zero Hour)
• He and SG-3 escorted Camulus offworld again with a ZPM meant for Baal and then waited for SG-1, but had to return to base empty handed again. (Zero Hour)
• personal speculation: It's possible that Reynolds has taken over Jack's previous role as (unofficial?) second-in-command at the SGC. His willingness to question (respectfully) Jack's decisions and make sure he's considering all the options/facts, and his leadership role in speaking for all the assembled SG teams when they gave Jack their unequivocal backing, are both strong signs of it. (Zero Hour)
• His team was one of the ones that went in to the Rand Protectorate in a fast raid to try to regain loyalist control of the secure bunker although he wasn't visible at any point, he was likely there. (Icon)
• Rundell:
• Apparently in charge of readying the SGC for President Hayes's visit, at least in terms of decoration and such. (Possibly also protocol -- who stands where, when, etc. -- but that part's not mentioned.) (Zero Hour)
• Siler:
  • Stationed in Zone 1 during the phase of lockdown that included trying to force Anubis into using his ascended powers, by making sure that no one person could operate the stargate. (Lockdown)
  • He had a busy week before the president arrived to congratulate Jack on his new appointment: he was part of the crew trying to chop the alien plant back when it started taking over the lab, then used a flamethrower when it started taking over the hallway. When the base had to go to emergency lighting only and several systems went offline, he was part of the repair crew, working mainly in the control room and on the stargate (to all appearances). (Zero Hour)
  • When Jack told Baal that the irony of the situation (Jack missing his deadline to respond to Baal's ultimatum, because the SGC couldn't dial out) was that Carter wasn't there, because she could have fixed the problem just like that, Siler assured him that there was no offense taken. (Zero Hour)
• Added to SG Units:
• General info:
  • Four-man teams:
  • Exceptions:
  • SG-1: Officially becomes a three-man team shortly after Jack's promotion to brigadier general. (Lockdown)
• SG-1:
  • Makeup:
  • Officially became a three-man team in early 2004, when Jack decided not to fill the empty slot left when he was promoted to brigadier general and commander of the SGC. (Lockdown)
    • Almost everyone on the base had wanted the position (according to Jack), and the Russians sent along a candidate, as well. (Lockdown)
  • Locker room:
  • Eighth season: Jack's locker was still next to Teal'c's and Daniel's (in a row in that order), on level 28, apparently still a public locker room, possibly men-only (no sign of Sam's). (Zero Hour)
  • In the same episode, Jack used a locker room on level 25 to change into his dress blues, but in the earlier instance, he seemed to walk straight from the locker room to the elevator on 28, then directly back to the gateroom before the elevator doors closed. (Zero Hour)
  • When Teal'c was trapped in a virtual-reality simulation, with the only hope of rescuing him to send someone else in through another chair (risking being trapped as well), Sam, Daniel, and Jack all volunteered immediately to be the person to go in. Daniel was the one chosen, but in the end it took not only him and Teal'c, but also the game-generated avatars of Jack and Sam, to finally defeat the game and let Teal'c out before it killed him. (Avatar)
  • Captured, confined, imprisoned:
    • Affinity:
    • Teal'c captured at his motel by the  OSI,  on suspicion of kidnapping (Krista James) and murder (Krista's boyfriend Doug),  and held in a holding cell at the SGC (at the OSI's insistence  -- Jack would have let him stay in his old quarters).
    • Daniel captured by agents of the Trust, and forced to translate some Ancient into Goa'uld for them to save Krista's life.
  • Assaults its own members:
    • Lockdown
      • Teal'c zats Anubis-possessed Daniel
      • Zatted, possessed Daniel grabs a pistol and aims at Jack
      • Jack shoots possessed Daniel with a pistol (in the shoulder)
      • Anubis-possessed Sam zats Daniel.
      • Jack zats Anubis-possessed Sam.
    • Avatar:
    • Within the game, Teal'c shoots Daniel on sight, believing him to be a Goa'uld.
    • Within the game, Teal'c holds a P90 on Daniel, who's holding a sidearm on him Teal'c shoots Daniel, in case he's a Goa'uld (with Daniel saying " I'm not a Goa'uld..." )
    • Within the game, Daniel zats Teal'c (to gain enough time to tell Teal'c what's going on, so Teal'c will stop killing him).
    • Within the game, Daniel, Teal'c, Jack, and Sam are standing four-square to each other, all pointing their weapons in (Daniel and Sam at each other, Teal'c and Jack at each other). Daniel and Teal'c are " really" there Jack and Sam are pure, game-created avatars. No one actually shoots.
• SG-2: (...)
• Had a mission to P8F-809 no idea what it was for, but apparently pretty routine. Jack had a briefing scheduled with them about it after they came back, with no indication that there was anything out of the ordinary going to be discussed. (Zero Hour)
• SG-3: (...)
• Still commanded by Colonel Reynolds in eighth season. (Zero Hour)
• All-male team as of early 2004, including Reynolds, Bosco, and Peterson. (Zero Hour)
• They were assigned as backup to SG-1 on a standard recon mission to P2X-887, a world that had been part of Anubis's domain, and which so far Baal hadn't found, by all reports. (Zero Hour)
• Sam left them to guard the stargate while SG-1 explored, promising to stay in regular radio contact. (Zero Hour)
• Eventually Reynolds was unable to raise Sam on the radio, just as an al-kesh went overhead. He tried for about 15 more minutes, then called back to the SGC, requesting backup to start a search. Jack sent SGs 10 and 12. (Zero Hour)
• When the search turned up nothing, Reynolds brought all three teams back home and reported. (Zero Hour)
• When Camulus told Jack about a planet with an Ancient device (in hopes of getting Jack to let him go, rather than trading him to Baal in return for SG-1), SG-3 was assigned to check out the planet. They found the device, as promised, and brought back with them the ZPM that went with it, which hadn't been " plugged in" . (Zero Hour)
• After Jack made a deal with Camulus -- his freedom and the opportunity to kill Baal using the booby-trapped ZPM, if he agreed to ask Baal to let SG-1 go -- SG-3 escorted Camulus to another planet, where they waited for SG-1. (Zero Hour)
• They stayed for an hour past their scheduled return time, hoping SG-1 would arrive, but no dice. (Zero Hour)
• Sam suggested them as backup along with SGs 6 and 12 on the raid on Soren's bunker in the Rand Protectorate, for the attempted rescue of Daniel. They went in hot and pulled off the raid with no casualties. (Icon)
• SG-5: (...)
• Assigned to Amra, and escorted back representatives to the SGC to discuss a pending trade agreement. (Zero Hour)
• SG-6: (...)
• Sam suggested them as backup along with SGs 3 and 12 on the raid on Soren's bunker in the Rand Protectorate, for the attempted rescue of Daniel.. They went in hot and pulled off the raid with no casualties. (Icon)
• SG-8: (...)
• In early 2004, the team was assigned to P6J-908, where they found a plant they wanted to bring back to base for study. This turned out to be a mistake the plant kept growing, proving very hard to kill. (Zero Hour)
• SG-9: (...)
• Still (again?) apparently the diplomatic unit, as of 2004. (Icon)
• They were assigned to handle negotiations with Soren in the Rand Protectorate after Soren staged a successful religious revolution there. The negotations were going badly Soren refused to allow any teams through to search for Daniel, missing since the city was taken. (Icon)
• SG-10:
• All-male team as of early 2004. (Zero Hour)
• Assigned as backup for SG-3 on P2X-887, when SG-1 goes missing on the planet and SG-3 wants to start searching for them. They returned to base empty-handed. (Zero Hour)
• SG-11:
• Assigned to go offworld with Daniel for an unspecified mission. Before they could step through the gate, Jack shut it down and ordered Daniel to the infirmary Daniel, infested with Anubis, took one of the SG-11 members hostage. Both went down when Teal'c zatted Daniel. (Lockdown)
• SG-12:
• All-male team as of early 2004. (Zero Hour)
• Assigned as backup for SG-3 on P2X-887, when SG-1 goes missing on the planet and SG-3 wants to start searching for them. They returned to base empty-handed. (Zero Hour)
• Sam suggested them as backup along with SGs 3 and 6 on the raid on Soren's bunker in the Rand Protectorate, for the attempted rescue of Daniel.. They went in hot and pulled off the raid with no casualties. (Icon)
• Added to Politics :
  • Government:
  • Henry Hayes
  • Six days into the " zone" portion of the SGC lockdown to prevent Anubis's escape through the stargate, with no further sign of Anubis's presence anywhere on base, Hayes lost patience and told Jack he had 24 hours to reestablish normal gate operations. (Lockdown)
  • Alliances:
  • Offworld alliances:
  • Both the rebel Jaffa and the Tok'ra remained available for communication, at least. (Zero Hour)
  • The rebels got word to the SGC of one of Anubis's planet, including a hidden base, that Baal didn't know about yet, and even sent along a hand device that gave access to the base. (Zero Hour)
  • Both the rebels and Tok'ra were contacted when SG-1 went missing and Baal said he had them captive, but neither could give any information about SG-1's whereabouts. (Zero Hour)
• Added to Military:
  • Pentagon:
    • The Office of Special Investigations (OSI):
    • real-life site: http://public.afosi.amc.af.mil/index_ns7.html  
    • They're responsible for criminal investigations and counterintelligence for the Air Force
    • nb: In addition to the USAF OSI, there's also a Department of Justice OSI, which handles WWII Nazis in the US. They're not connected.
    • This was the branch that gave approval for Teal'c to live offbase when Jack petitioned them. (Affinity)
    • They attached some provisions to the approval, largely boiling down to " he can't attract any attention to himself" . (Affinity)
    • Despite their disapproval of the situation and their concerns about Teal'c's actions, the OSI insisted that they didn't have Teal'c under surveillance while he was living offbase. (Affinity)
  • Non-SGC military personnel:
  • Major Davis:
  • He returned to the SGC to be part of the negotiations with the Amran representatives. Within an hour, talks had completely stalled because the Amrans couldn't even move past bickering with each other (" like children" , according to Davis), never mind start discussing the trade agreement with Earth. He sent for Jack, who dealt with the situation by locking up the Amran representatives in the same room together until they were prepared to talk like adults. (Zero Hour)
  • He was still on the base days later while the SGC was dealing with Baal and a power shutdown as a result of an alien plant run amok in the walls. When Jack was looking for options for dealing with Baal and getting SG-1 back, Davis brought up the possibility of the Goa'uld poison the Tok'ra had provided the formula for more than two years earlier (Summit/Last Stand). (Zero Hour)
  • General George Hammond:
  • Stationed at the Pentagon. (Zero Hour)
  • Head of " Homeworld Security" (unofficial designation) -- all things relating to Earth's defense, including the SGC, the 303 program, and the Antarctic site.
  • For details, see Hammond.
  • For specific post-SGG information, see Hammond, post-SGC.
  • Colonel Kendrick:
  • Assigned to the Office of Special Investigations. (Affinity)
  • Dressed in a suit, not a uniform, much like Simmons. (Affinity)
  • He arrived unannounced and uninvited at the SGC after Jack refused to return his calls, to complain about Teal'c breaking the conditions of his living offbase -- he wasn't staying low-profile enough for the OSI to be comfortable with. (Affinity)
  • He was none too happy with Jack's attitude about the situation, firmly believing that Teal'c's presence offbase was a major security risk and that Jack was taking the situation far too lightly. (Affinity)
  • The fact that Jack paid no attention whatsoever to any of his warnings didn't sit well, either. (Affinity)
  • When Teal'c became wanted for kidnapping and murder, in the death of Krista James's boyfriend Doug and her (and Teal'c's) disappearance, and was then captured by the OSI (working off a tip), Kendrick returned to the SGC to check on things, and was very displeased to discover that Teal'c was being housed in his old quarters on base, without so much as a guard on the door. He got very shirty with Jack, saying that if Jack didn't transfer Teal'c to a holding cell, he'd recommend that Teal'c be held somewhere else entirely. (Affinity)
  • He clearly believed it was more than possible that Teal'c had done it. (Affinity)
  • When Daniel went missing as well, Kendrick was finally convinced there was something else going on. (Affinity)
  • Area 51:
    • General info:
    • In the two years since the Tok'ra provided the formula for the poison that kills Goa'uld symbiotes, Area 51 was modifying and manufacturing in it the greatest possible quantities, to be used as a defensive weapon. As of early 2004, there was enough to negate a sizable force. Reynolds said there was enough to neutralize and invade three Goa'uld-occupied planets. (Zero Hour)
    • The poison is non-persistent, leaving only a limited time before reinforcements become a factor. (Zero Hour)
    • The poison still kills Jaffa as well as Goa'uld. (Zero Hour)
    • Technology:
      • Goa'uld poison:
      • Developed over two years from the formula given by the Tok'ra. (Zero Hour)

• They appear to still work in cells, and fairly mobile cells at that. (Affinity)
• They had use of a warehouse,  ostensibly for " Westminster Boiler & Tank Company Ltd." (Affinity)
• When Teal'c moved offbase, they set up surveillance on him, still convinced that having aliens on Earth was in and of itself a security risk (more specifically, having aliens on US soil was a national security risk). (Affinity)
• It was supposed to be simple surveillance, nothing more. They set up across the street in another apartment, and ate a lot of pizza from a local place. They also rented a car, which got caught on the pizza place's security cameras and had satellite tracking in it. (Affinity)
• When the surveillance also caught Krista's murder of James on tape, they saw a golden opportunity to reduce that risk, and went in to stage the scene to look like Teal'c had done it. (Affinity)
• Later, with Teal'c on the road with Krista with no knowledge of what had happened, they tailed him, then called a tip in to the OSI with his whereabouts, ensuring his capture. (Affinity)
• Once Teal'c was captured, they hacked into the SGC network and opened a file on Daniel's screen, then a message window saying " look familiar?" , then called him on the phone. The person on the phone used a voice distorter, and told Daniel that he wanted Daniel to translate the Ancient symbols into Goa'uld  -- it was an obscure dialect, and Daniel was the only person on the planet who could translate it. In return, he offered proof, on tape, that Teal'c wasn't the killer. (Affinity)
• Daniel showed up at the meet on time and alone, and tried to buy some time.
• The agent who met him said that if he didn't translate the text, they'd kill Krista.  When Daniel started to walk away, saying there was no proof these guys even had Krista, the agent had one of this three snipers shoot the coffee cup he put down on a picnic table. Daniel went with him. (Affinity)
• He brought Daniel back to the " Westminster Boiler & Tank Company Ltd" warehouse, where more members of his cell were, including what appeared to be the cell leader. (Affinity)
• This man was not happy that Daniel was there, pointing out that he was a member of SG-1 and they would mobilize vast resources to get him back. (Affinity)
• The first agent said it was necessary because Daniel wouldn't cooperate, and had some other agents bring a very scared Krista out.  When  she  was  pushed  into  the  chair  next  to  Daniel,  he  said  he'd  kill  her  if  Daniel  didn't  give  them  the  translated  symbols. (Affinity)
• Daniel stayed focused on the apparent leader, saying Krista had nothing to do with it.  (Affinity)
• Sounding honestly regretful and annoyed, the leader said that if it had been up to him, it wouldn't have gone that far -- it was supposed to be simple surveillance (said with a very pointed look at the agent who'd escalated everything to this point), but once the " domestic dispute" happened and Teal'c got involved, and they knew that Daniel would never do the translation for them voluntarily... they had to go with the opportunity given them.   (Affinity)
• Despite his reasonable demeanor, his next act was to pull out his gun and point it at Krista  -- he really did intend to kill her if necessary. (Affinity)
• Daniel translated the symbols. (Affinity)
• As soon as the translation was complete and confirmed, the leader brought Daniel and Krista to the wall and told them to face it while holding a pistol on them.  He  switched  weapons  when  they  were  faced  away,  and  zatted  them  both. Meanwhile, his people began cleaning up, packing up their gear and deleting files and wiping  hard drives so no one could figure out what they'd done. (Affinity)
• They appear to have transported out -- although it wasn't shown, there was a flash of light, no sound of rings settling, and no sign of the people a split second later. (Affinity)
• Added to Russians:
  • Russian cosmonauts knew about the battle with Anubis over Antarctica, and were pretty pissed about the amount of debris left behind, some of which nearly hit the International Space Station while a Russian team was aboard it. (Lockdown)
  • When Colonel Alexei Vaselov requested a transfer to the SGC, the Russians began pressuring Jack to put him on SG-1. (Lockdown)
  • Personnel:
  • Anatole Konstantinov:
  • At one point, he served in the Russian Air Force with Alexi Vaselov, an old friend. (Lockdown)
  • A cosmonaut who did a tour aboard the International Space Station around the time of the battle with Anubis over Antarctica. He was pretty annoyed by the leftover debris, and the need to delicately steer the space station around it so it didn't get damaged. (Lockdown)
  • He was infested by Anubis when the space station nearly collided with a piece of debris. (Lockdown)
  • Less than a week after his ISS mission was complete, Konstantinov died in a Moscow hospital, officially of renal failure. Unofficially, the medical establishment had no clue what had killed him, only that he'd exhibited memory loss, skin lesions, and an elevated white blood count. (Lockdown)
    • His body couldn't handle containing Anubis's energy form. (Lockdown)
    • Right before he died, his old friend Alexi Vaselov came to visit him, and was infested with Anubis. (Lockdown)
  • Colonel Alexi Vaselov:
    • Colonel in the Russian Air Force. (Lockdown)
    • Had a sister living in Bryansk. (Lockdown)
    • Served with Anatole Konstantinov, an old friend, before Konstantinov became a cosmonaut. (Lockdown)
    • One of the most highly-decorated officers in Russian history in the Russian Air Force, including the High Order of Russia and the Gold Star. (Lockdown)
    • His experience included more than 3,000 flight hours on more than 35 types of aircraft and prototypes. (Lockdown)
    • While visiting his friend Konstantinov in the hospital, Vaselov was taken over by Anubis, who used him to gain access to the SGC. (Lockdown)
    • The faux-Vaselov specifically requested a transfer to the SGC, and once there, tried buttering Jack up to get the open spot on SG-1. When Jack refused, he asked for any spot, on any team. When Jack continued to refuse, saying that without proper training, Vaselov wasn't going near the gate, " Vaselov" asked to be allowed to go through as a noncombat observer with an exploration team. Jack still said no. (Lockdown)
    • During a conversation with Daniel about Jack's refusal, Vaselov collapsed and was rushed to the infirmary. (Lockdown)
      • Anubis had to have known the body was failing, and also that he had a better shot of getting through the stargate inside Daniel, so he jumped hosts when Daniel reached to see if Vaselov was all right. (Lockdown)
      • Vaselov had lesions over 40% of his body and a highly elevated white blood count. (Lockdown)
      • He had no memory at all of what had happened to him the last thing he remembered was being in Russia, visiting his friend in the hospital. (Lockdown)
      • He blamed himself for causing the lockdown and Daniel's condition, even when Teal'c assured him that it hadn't been his fault in any way. (Lockdown)
      • Despite Dr. Brightman's best efforts, Vaselov's condition continued to deteriorate his exposure to Anubis had lasted too long, and his immune system had been affected. He wasn't responding to treatment at all, so all they could do was try to manage his pain. (Lockdown)
      • Brightman figured he had one, maybe two weeks, tops, to live. (Lockdown)
      • Vaselov didn't know the specifics, but he knew that he was in bad shape because everyone was being so careful not to tell him anything. He knew he wasn't going to live for very long. (Lockdown)
      • He asked Daniel to send a letter he'd written to his sister after the lockdown ended, knowing he wouldn't be able to do it himself. (Lockdown)
      • A week or so later, Vaselov noticed that the power was flickering, and then that the self-destruct was set (the countdown was announced over the PA). He got up out of his bed to see what he could do to help. (Lockdown)
      • He headed straight for the gateroom, and when he saw Jack (possessed by Anubis) standing in front of the ramp and an active wormhole, he charged in and tackled Jack, getting his sidearm away from him (pistol, not zat). (Lockdown)
      • He knew Anubis needed a body to go through the gate, and gave him an ultimatum: use Vaselov's, or Vaselov would kill Jack and himself, leaving Anubis with no options. Anubis went for it, and re-possessed him. (Lockdown)
      • Vaselov's sacrifice wasn't in vain Sam had reprogrammed the dialing sequence, and sent Anubis through to a world where the stargate was on a glacier so cold that Vaselov went to his knees and froze to death just a few steps through the stargate. (Lockdown)
• Added to Misc. Tau'ri:
  • Mrs. Connors:
  • One of Teal'c's neighbors when he briefly lived in an apartment building  -- she lived in #405, with a cat. (Affinity)
  • She saw both his encounters with Krista's boyfriend Doug, including the second one when Teal'c told Doug he'd kill him where he stood if he ever hurt Krista again. (Affinity)
  • Doug X:
  • Krista James's boyfriend. (Affinity)
  • He had a tendency toward being drunk and abusive. According to Krista, it started after he lost his job. (Affinity)
  • She broke up with him at one point, but took him back after a couple of weeks. (Affinity)
  • He appears to have been remarkably stupid, telling Teal'c on two separate occasions that he'd hurt him (Teal'c) if he got in the way of Doug and Krista's relationship. Both times, Teal'c was wearing shirts that bared his arms up to the shoulder, if his general build hadn't been enough to give away the fact that he's a solid mass of muscle. (Affinity)
  • The second time was after Doug had hurt Krista's wrist just as she took him back  -- Teal'c had seen the injury and was angry about it, and responded to Doug's threat by saying that if he ever injured Krista again, Teal'c would kill him. (Affinity)
  • The next day, Krista killed him using the lok'nel Teal'c had been teaching her. (Affinity)
  • Eric:
  • A boy living in Teal'c's neighborhood when Teal'c was living offbase. He knew Teal'c well enough to call him " T" . (Affinity)
  • He was impressed with the way Teal'c handled the thee guys going after one other guy. (Affinity)
  • When Teal'c hesitated rather than go after a purse-snatcher, Eric was very disappointed -- he perked up after Teal'c beaned the guy with an avocado. (Affinity)
  • When Teal'c moved out a short while later, Eric helped him carry boxes down to the car, using his skateboard as a dolly. Before Teal'c left, he showed him the underside of the skateboard -- he'd painted a serpent in a circle, like Teal'c's tatto, on it. (Affinity)
  • Krista James:
  • She lived next door,  in  apartment  402, when Teal'c briefly lived offbase. (Affinity)
  • She and Teal'c were friends  -- she brought him cookies and made him lasagna, he fixed her pipes. (Affinity)
  • She had a boyfriend, Doug. There were times he would get drunk and/or abusive  -- at one point he was loud and drunk enough standing in the hallway that Teal'c had come out to see if she needed help. At some point after that, she broke up with him, deciding enough was enough. (Affinity)
  • After breaking up with Doug, she found Teal'c in the park doing lok'nel (martial arts training), and asked him to teach her. (Affinity)
  • The lessons went on,  apparently  daily,  for  a  couple  of  weeks -- she got fairly proficient at it very quickly. (Affinity)
  • Although nothing apparently happened between them, the atmosphere was getting pretty romantically charged toward the end. (Affinity)
  • About two weeks after breaking up with Doug, she took him back -- he hurt her wrist at some point right around then. (Affinity)
  • The next day, she killed Doug, using the lok'nel Teal'c had been teaching her, then sat down outside Teal'c's apartment to wait for him. When Teal'c came home and found her, she told him she'd kicked Doug out and that she needed to get away because she couldn't think there -- she asked him to go with her, and convinced him to get in a car with her and just drive, taking the whole weekend to be anywhere else. (Affinity)
  • When they got to a motel she finally kissed him, and they spent the night together.
  • By morning, she was gone -- she wound up being held by Trust agents, but it's not clear whether she'd taken off on her own before they snatched her. (She has to have at least left the motel room, though -- it's highly unlikely that Teal'c wouldn't have woken up if it happened in the room. (Affinity)
  • She was very scared when the Trust had her -- she had no idea who they were or what they wanted, only that they were somehow using her against Teal'c. (Affinity)
  • She was zatted along with Daniel after the Trust got what it wanted, but she never saw the zat itself. (Affinity)
  • After it was all over, she presumably got off with self-defense for Doug's death, because she was walking around free when Teal'c was leaving (and gave no indication that she was expecting prison or even a trial). (Affinity)
  • Pete Shanahan:
  • After several months of dating Sam (definitely at least five, probably no more than seven), Pete " puts in for a transfer" to Colorads Springs PD (this can't be accurate as spoken -- presumably he applied to the CSPD, and will quit the Denver force if he gets the job). (Affinity)
  • He also bought her a ring and sprang it on her during a walk in the park, without talking to her about marriage beforehand. (Affinity)
  • He was pretty patient about it  -- after two weeks she still hadn't given him an answer, and he didn't get pushy, just said okay when she said she needed more time to work some things out. (Affinity)
  • When Sam asked for his help investigating the murder of the man Teal'c was susptected of killing, he did everything he could. (Affinity)
  • He apparently got the investigator's report, because he had crime-scene photos and knew what conclusions had been drawn. (Affinity)
  • He visited the crime scene to do his own investigation. (Affinity)
  • He used Sam's lockpicks to break into the apartment across the street, where he figured that surveillance would have been set up if anyone was staking Teal'c out. (Affinity)
  • When there was nothing to see in the room, he went a different direction -- checking out local pizza places for new repeat customers. From there, he got a license plate off a security camera, leading to a rental car place where it had been rented with a carefully faked ID. The rental had satellite tracking, and he told Sam exactly where the car was now. (Affinity)
  • When the rescue team went in, the bad guys had vanished into thin air, startling Pete a bit  -- he recovered with pretty good grace, though. (Affinity)
  • After the rescue, such as it was, Sam accepted his proposal while they were standing behind a truck talking. Pete triple-checked to make sure she was serious. (Affinity)
• Added to Goa'uld:
• System Lords:
• Anubis:
• Appearances were wrong Anubis didn't die over Anatarctica after all. (Lockdown)
• The forcefield holding his energy together on the physical plane was destroyed, but since he was still partly ascended, he survived, as pure energy. (Lockdown)
• Using his ascended powers to leave Earth for his powerbase would have alerted the Ancients, who would have come after him. In order for him to interact with the physical world, though, he needed a physical form -- either a host, or a new forcefield. (Lockdown)
• Incredibly skilled at taking over a host with no one noticing -- he suppressed them completely, immediately, but must have either maintained a link or " read" a great deal of their history, mannerism, speech patterns, etc. in the split second of blending. (Lockdown)
• When debris from his ship (containing his energy form) drifted close enough to the International Space Station, he took his chance and moved over, infesting one of the cosmonauts. (Lockdown)
• The cosmonaut returned home and got sick pretty soon, his body unable to contain the raw energy of Anubis's half-ascended form. Before he died, Alexi Vaselov visited him, and Anubis jumped hosts. (Lockdown)
• He requested a transfer to the SGC, trying to gain access to the stargate. The Russian government was thrilled and immediately started applying pressure to put " Vaselov" on a team, but to no avail Jack refused to grant " Vaselov's" requests to go through the gate, either as a team member or an observer. Anubis was running out of time Vaselov's body had started to fail. During a conversation in " Vaselov's" quarters with Daniel, he collapsed, and when Daniel reached to see if he could help Vaselov, Anubis jumped bodies. (Lockdown)
• While in Daniel he had his best shot of going through the stargate Daniel was scheduled to go offworld with another team, and Anubis could have just walked right through. The new doctor was worried that Vaselov might be contagious, though, and Jack shut down the stargate moments before Anubis would have been free, ordering Daniel back to the infirmary to be checked out. Anubis grabbed one of the SG team members he was standing near as a hostage, demanding that the gate be reactivated. Instead, Teal'c zatted him, then Jack shot him in the shoulder when he didn't stay down. Anubis jumped ship again. (Lockdown)
• He went into Lt. Evans, a nurse on Daniel's surgical team, and stayed in her for an unspecified time (at least an afternoon, and probably not much longer than that, since she was checked at least a day later and had no symptoms). (Lockdown)
• At some point, he transferred into Airman Malcolm McCaffrey. (Lockdown)
• He missed his scheduled mandatory physical and remained unaccounted for, triggering suspicions. (Lockdown)
• When the search for him was underway, he ambushed an SF walking alone, slamming him into a wall and taking his sidearm. (Lockdown)
• He headed for the control room, shooting the SF on guard near the bottom of the stairs. (Lockdown)
• Jack, Sam, and Teal'c arrived in time for Jack to zat him before he could get the technician on duty to dial the gate (he had a gun to the back of the man's neck). (Lockdown)
• Anubis abandoned McCaffrey's body and headed into the walls. (Lockdown)
• When the base went to Sam and Daniel's " zoned" configuration to force him to use his ascended powers rather than being able to access the stargate through just one person, Anubis went quiet for a while. Six days later, Jack made a base-wide announcement that he had presidiential authority to keep the lockdown going indefinitely, implying that he fully expected them to be there for more than a month. Anubis headed straight for Sam and infested her. (Lockdown)
• He took out several SFs (stunned, not killed) and gained access to a control room in Zone 3 that got him into the system he unsealed the corridors between the zones and set other timed commands into the system. When Daniel got in his way, he zatted him.
• He made it to Zone 2 (where the stargate was), but Jack zatted Sam before he could continue his plan. (Lockdown)
• He shifted bodies again, into Jack. (Lockdown)
• Inside Jack, he took Major Kearney with him to the room with the manual self-destruct, and ordered Kearney to ready his key. Kearney obeyed, and they set a five-minute self-destruct. Anubis zatted him immediately afterward. (Lockdown)
• Anubis set up a remote dialer for the gate and walked into the gateroom just as the wormhole was opening.
• Vaselov charged into the gateroom before he could even set foot on the ramp, and tackled him when they came back up, Vaselov had Jack's sidearm (pistol, not zat), and was giving him an ultimatum: Anubis could have Vaselov's body to go through the stargate, or Vaselov would kill both Jack and himself, leaving Anubis no options (and giving SGC personnel plenty of time to start locking things down again, so Anubis would lose his chance). (Lockdown)
• Anubis went for it, leaving Jack and re-possessing Vaselov. (Lockdown)
• He made it through the gate, but without realizing that Sam had had time to reprogram the dialing sequence. He wound up on a snowplain in temperatures cold enough to kill Vaselov (wearing no protective clothing) only a few steps away from the gate -- he froze solid after falling to his knees. (Lockdown)
• Anubis isn't dead, but is likely trapped on this world for a good long time, unless he's willing to risk the wrath of the Ancients to escape -- unlikely. (Lockdown)
• Baal:
  • At some point during his assumption of Anubis's territories, armies, and technology, Baal got hold of his holographic equipment. (Zero Hour)
  • He took advantage of a situation some of his Jaffa had noticed -- SG-1 had gone radio silent on a planet where Baal happened to have sent an al-kesh, and they monitored enough radio chatter to know that the team was missing and hadn't been found by search parties. Baal promptly sent a holographic image of himself to the SGC with an ultimatum: send Camulus to the planet he specified if they wanted to see SG-1 alive again. (Zero Hour)
  • He gave Jack one day to make up his mind, and vanished. (Zero Hour)
  • He returned after the deadline had passed, cranky that Jack hadn't contacted him, to find the SGC literally in the dark the power was out. Jack explained that they were unable to dial out at the moment, and there was nothing he could do about it. Baal got pissy about Jack's attitude, but gave him one more day anyway. (Zero Hour)
  • Knowing perfectly well that he didn't have SG-1 -- they'd been ringed down below the surface and been trapped, which he figured out from radio chatter during the search for them -- Baal left a contingent of Jaffa in ambush at the stargate in case they escaped, to maintain his leverage over the situation. They attacked SG-1, but didn't manage to stop them from going home. (Zero Hour)
  • Baal did eventually wind up with Camulus, who headed straight for him with a ZPM that Camulus thought was booby-trapped Camulus hoped that Baal would trigger the trap and die. (Zero Hour)
  • The ZPM Camulus brought wasn't the tainted one, however -- it was the dead one, with no charge left in it at all. (Zero Hour)
• Camulus:
• He was being held at another facility, not the SGC they sent him to the SGC when Baal asked for him in exchange for the safe return of SG-1. (Zero Hour)
• He was not happy that he was being treated as a prisoner, after seeking asylum. (Zero Hour)
• When Jack told him Baal wanted to trade for him, Camulus said he didn't know why (more accurately, he said there were " many possible reasons" without picking one in particular), and said trading him was a waste of time -- Jack couldn't trust Baal, and his friends would never be returned safely to him.
• Jack had him brought to the stargate and stood him in front of an active wormhole, giving him one last chance to talk before he shipped him off to Baal Camulus didn't blink, and Jack had him sent back to his cell. (Zero Hour)
• Afterward, Camulus changed his tune, asking to speak with Jack. He said it wasn't safe for him to remain, because Baal wouldn't stop at threats if he were truly so determined to seek revenge against Camulus. He offered to leave Jack asked for something in return.
• Camulus offered the location of a planet with an Ancient device, although he'd never figured out how to make it work. He said maybe the SGC could.
• When Jack asked if that was why Baal was after him, he admitted he'd once made the mistake of bragging about finding the device in front of Baal at a meeting of the System Lords, although he'd never disclosed the location.
• When the device turned out to be genuine (and included a ZPM, although Camulus didn't know what that was), and as soon as the base had power again, Jack intended to honor his part of the deal and let Camulus go. Camulus was in the gateroom waiting for the dialing process to end when Jack got a call saying there was a problem with the ZPM he cancelled Camulus's trip. (Zero Hour)
• Camulus at first denied all knowledge of the fact that the ZPM had been booby trapped, never mind that he had done it. When Jack called him on it, he repeated Jack's words at the stargate, when Jack was bluffing him: " Worth a try." (Zero Hour)
• Jack made a deal with him: he'd let Camulus go, if Camulus would take the booby-trapped ZPM to Baal and offer it in exchange for SG-1. This would allow Camulus to kill Baal, and take his territories. Camulus went for it. (Zero Hour)
• SG-3 escorted him, with the ZPM, to another planet, where they intended to wait for SG-1. (Zero Hour)
• What Camulus didn't know was that Jack had switched the tainted ZPM for the dead one -- there was no way it would kill Baal, or Baal could use it as a weapon against Earth if he figured it out. Baal was likely not happy with Camulus about this. (Zero Hour)
• Added to Goa'uld language:
  • avidan
  • " the gods are just" (from an ancient Goa'uld dialect, according to Teal'c -- Icon)
  • grel-kar
  • no translation given (Icon)
  • keltesh:
  • a flanking attack from two sides (Icon)
  • kree-nor
  • no translation given (Icon)
  • lo assak
  • no translation given (Icon)
  • lok'nel
  • an ancient form of martial arts training. (Affinity)
  • ring kol nok:
  • " strategy" (Icon)
• Added to Tok'ra:
• Culture:
• Despite severing official ties with the SGC, the Tok'ra didn't cut off all contact. The SGC contacted them (with no apparent difficulty) looking for information about where Baal might be holding SG-1 the Tok'ra didn't have any info to give them. (Zero Hour)
• Added to Jaffa:
• Culture:
• Rebellion:
• Still in contact with the SGC, however tenuously, even after official ties were broken. Some Jaffa once loyal to Anubis got word of a planet in Anubis's former domain to SG-1 -- a planet that Baal apparently hadn't discovered yet. They also passed along a device that allowed SG-1 access to the hidden base on the planet. Later, the SGC contacted them looking for information about where Baal might be holding SG-1, but the rebels had no information for them. (Zero Hour)
• Marriage customs:
• It's possible to " put aside" a marriage in order to remarry -- Drey'auc did this after Teal'c had been gone for some time, to marry Fro'tak.   (Family)
• It isn't clear if this is only possible when one partner isn't available (and is unlikely to be available anytime soon) to agree to a divorce, since there are other options available to couples where both are present (the pledge break, as mentioned in Affinity).
• On Chulak, at least, if problems between a man and a woman can't be resolved, a " pledge break" is required. It must be requested by one and granted by the other. (Sounds like a relatively uncomplicated divorce.) (Affinity)
• If the request isn't granted, " a weapon is required" , according to Teal'c. (Affinity)
• Teal'c specifically replied with " on Chulak" when Sam asked him how Jaffa couples handle their problems -- it's not clear if this custom isn't widespread among Jaffa in general, or if Teal'c was just being careful to answer only with knowledge he had firsthand about the particular part of the culture he grew up in. (Affinity)
• Added to Ancients:
• Technology:
• ZPM:
• Zero Point Module. A power source that draws its energy from subspace. (Zero Hour)
• (personal aside: I know this got named in the Atlantis premiere, but I haven't touched that yet, so...)
• It's the only thing powerful enough to activate the Ancient defense weapons on Earth. (Zero Hour)
• Added to Misc. Humans:
• Amrans:
• Planet: Amra (SGC designation unknown)
• (nb: This is possibly the name of the country, not the planet, but it's all I've got so I'm doing with it.)
• SG-5 brought two (unnamed) representatives from Amra back to the SGC to discuss a pending trade agreement. (Zero Hour)
• The planet (country?) appeared to be split into factions, which, while not at war with each other, clearly had some negative feeling for each other.
• The representatives at the SGC came from different areas -- one was from the plains, one was not (and was incredibly superior about that fact). (Zero Hour)
• The plainsmen held that the Plains of Goran were sacred that belief wasn't widespread outside the plains, apparently. (Zero Hour)
• When Jack locked them into a room together after an hour of " negotiating" (bickering), they were appalled. (Zero Hour)
• By the next morning, they were beyond appalled, they were furious. They demanded to be let go immediately, swearing that there would never be a trade agreement between their government and Earth's now. Jack left them locked up. (Zero Hour)
• An unspecified number of days later, Mark Gilmor let them go they were apparently much more amenable to the idea of negotiating. (Zero Hour)
• Randians, Caledonians:
• General info:
• Planet: local name unknown, SGC designation unknown.
• The geopolitical situation consisted of two nations -- the Rand Protectorate and the Caledonian Federation. SG-1 dealt mainly with the Rand Protectorate, which is where the stargate was housed. (Icon)
• The two nations had been in a state of cold war for decades before SG-1 showed up, with enough weaponry to wipe each other off the face of the planet. (Icon)
• Less than three months of SG-1's arrival, the situation had reached crisis levels the Rand Protectorate was in the hands of religious fanatics, and the Caledonian Federation was feeling threatened enough to begin first strikes. The war destroyed much of the Rand Protectorate. (Icon)
• Rand Protectorate:
• Their civilization was roughly on a technological and cultural par with the United States in the 1950s or 1960s when the SGC made first contact. (Icon)
• Electricity, radio communications, radar, possibly rudimentary computers, long-range missiles, projectile weapons (rifles), a Cold War regulated by a mutually-assured-destruction scenario.
• No apparent visual communications, though (television, etc.). (Icon)
• More than 150 years ago, the Great Ring of Avidan -- the planet's stargate -- was discovered in the Kirellian Wastelands, in Rand Protectote territory. (Icon)
• The Randians put it in a museum courtyard, as the highligh of the antiquities collection. (Icon)
• They believed it to be thousands of years old, and part of ancient religious ceremonies. The theory was that the symbols on the gate itself were the names of the gods, although no one had been able to decipher them. (Icon)
• Their history told of a period when gods ruled their world, with the Great Ring as a power source. Modern Randians believed that to be merely legend. (Icon)
• The stargate was definitely the main symbol of the old religion, and Gareth clearly spoke of " gods" rather than one or even two specific gods, so it's possible that this world didn't belong to just one Goa'uld, but instead was visited by many (like Earth). (Icon)
• At some point, they went through an " Age of Enlightenment" , when apparently they abandoned many of their older religious beliefs (possibly all religious beliefs, for most of the population? Unlikely, given human nature, but possible.) (Icon)
• Only a few people held to the old beliefs -- religious fundamentalists. (Icon)
• They believed all life on the planet was created by the old gods, and that one day the gods will return and reward them for their faith. (Icon)
• Before the SGC made contact, they were considered zealots who took the old writings too literally. (Icon)
• After the stargate was activated and rumors about it started to spread, they gained more followers. One rebel leader in paticular -- Soren -- managed to unite all the fundamentalist factions under him, becoming a powerful figure in the country. (Icon)
• Soren started a religious uprising as more fundamentalists turned to him for leadership, and his troops started moving on urban centers and municipalities, successfully taking over many of them. (Icon)
• The military moved in to " pacify" those areas, wanting to get their cities back from the hands of religious madmen. (Icon)
• In the Rand military, " blue" was the second-highest level of alert status. (Icon)
• Civil unrest, and even rebel militia activity, wouldn't ordinarily be enough to trigger that a blue-level alert. (Icon)
• After Soren's troops took over many municipalities and civil unrest had broken out in several urban centers, the Caledonian Federation got nervous, and went to a high military alert status. In response, the Rand Protectorate went to " blue" , to match them. (Icon)
• Soren's troops eventually took control of every major city, including parts of the capital. The government had the stargate moved to a secure bunker to try to keep it out of his hands. (Icon)
• Caledonia shifted its alert status, fully deploying and priming their missile systems. Rand responded in kind. (Icon)
• Minister Treydan of Caledonia warned Commander Gareth that if any of Rand's weapons systems fell into the wrong hands, Caledonia would not feel safe (strongly implying that they'd attack). (Icon)
• Immediately after the warning, Gareth got word that rebel forces had likely taken over a missle deployment facility. (Icon)
• The Caledonians had noted the explosion at the facility Treydan told Gareth that Caledonia could take no chances, and were targeting all of Rand's missile bases. The only way to keep the situation from escalating into all-out war was for Rand not to retaliate. (Icon)
• Soren's forces took control of a missile site and launched a counter-attack, escalating the situation into a full-scale war. (Icon)
• Both sides sent a widespread radio-jamming signal out, which lasted past the end of the war. (Icon)
• By the time it was all over, all of Rand's cities had been leveled, and estimates were that only a fraction of the population had survived, existing largely in outlying areas. (Icon)
• Soren had absolute control over what was left Gareth was dead and the military was in tatters. (Icon)
• Once they were in charge, the rebel troops began searching the region (around the capital, at least) for survivors, executing anyone whom they suspected of being loyal to the old government. (Icon)
• About six weeks after the war, Daniel managed to contact the SGC with a plan to retake the bunker Jack approved it, and Jared Kane agreed to go along with it. It worked. When Soren emerged from the bunker (armed but not threatening), Kane killed him where he stood, and the loyalists retook control of the country. (Icon)
• Daniel promises Kane that the SGC will be back to help them rebuild. (Icon)
• Caledonian Federation:
• Presumably at about the same level of technological advancement as the Rand Protectorate. (Icon)
• The Caledonians had a more militant outlook, putting their country under martial law as soon as news of SG-1's arival began to spread, in order to control any outbreaks of religious fervor of the sort seen in the Rand Protectorate. (Icon)
• The government was not pleased with the Rand Protectorate on many levels after the stargate was activated. (Icon)
• Caledonian scientist had been denied access to the stargate. (Icon)
• SG-1 had been allowed only limited contact with the Caledonians, because the Rand Protectorate considered it a national security issue to keep SG-1 (and everything they represented) all to itself. (Icon)
• The level of civil unrest and rebel uprising in the Rand Protectorate was alarming to the Caledonians, who warned the Randians that if Soren took control of the country, Caledonia would consider it an act of war, and react appropriately. (Icon)
• They continued to monitor the situation in Rand, noting that Soren had moved to take over every major city and much of the capital, and that much of the Rand military was on the brink of mutiny. They shifted from the second-highest alert level to fully deployed and primed missile systems. (Icon)
• Minister Treydan called Commander Gareth again, telling him what they knew about Rand's situation, and adding that if any of Rand's weapons systems fell into the wrong hands, no one in Caledonia would feel safe. (Icon)
• Just as he passed along that warning, Soren's rebel forces staged an attack on a Rand missile facility Caledonian Intelligence passed the word along, and Caledonia responded by targeting all of Rand's missile sites. Treydan warned Gareth about what they were doing and why, and said the only way to keep things from escalating was not to respond in kind. (Icon)
• Soren's forces took control of a missile base and launched a counter-attack at Caledonia, escalating the situation into a full-scale war. (Icon)
• By the time it was all over, most of Caledonia had been destroyed, although there were some survivors. They may have struck first, but Rand's missiles were superior, and did vast damage. (Icon)
• Rumor had it that they were trying to rebuild, but if so, it would be a long, hard process. (Icon)
• Known Randians
• Commander Gareth X:
• He was the head of the delegation waiting to meet SG-1 when they finally came through after setting up the meet through radio contact via the MALP. (Icon)
• He appeared to be the commander of all Rand Protectorate forces he was the person Minister Treyand of the Caledonian Federation was dealing with, both in regards to the stargate and the escalating sociopoltical situation in the Rand Protectorate. (Icon)
• He didn't deny any of Treyand's accusations about how Rand had limited Caledonia's access to both the Stargate and SG-1, but pointed out that had the " Great Ring" been found on Caledonian territory and thus it had been Caledonia where the offworlders appeared, Caledonia would have done exactly the same things. (Icon)
• He tried very hard to keep the military situation with Caledonia from escalating, asking for patience while Rand dealt with the rebels, but to no avail the Caledonians were extremely nervous about and unhappy with the growing rebellion in the Rand Protectorate. (Icon)
• When Soren's troops breached a missile facility, Gareth clearly knew things had gotten completely out of his control the Caledonians had just warned that if such a thing happened, they'd take action.
• Treyand knew about the missile facility almost as fast as Gareth found out, and told him that the Caledonians were taking matters into their own hands, targeting only missile sites. Gareth appeared to believe him when he said that as long as Rand didn't retaliate, the situation wouldn't escalate any further. (Icon)
• When Soren's forces took the bunker shortly thereafter, Gareth was executed. (Icon)
• Jared Kane:
• Chief aide to Commander Gareth. (Icon)
• He was married to Leda, but once he joined Gareth's inner circle he was too busy to spend much time with her, and unable to share things with her when he was there. He never noticed that the marriage was deteriorating, or that she was unhappy. (Icon)
• He thought the religious fundamentalists who were taking over the country were madmen. (Icon)
• When Soren's troops started moving on the secure command bunker, Kane tried to take Daniel back to the stargate so he could go home. They were attacked en route by rebels who breached the bunkers, and Kane was shot in the leg. Daniel got him out through a passageway behind a locked door. A bomb struck just as they made it made it out onto the street Daniel was wounded much more severely than Kane, and Kane had no option but to bring him to the house where Leda was staying.(Icon)
• When Commander Gareth was killed (along with many/most other high-ranking officers), Jared wound up in effective command of the remnants of the military left around the capital city. (Icon)
• He was less than enthused about Daniel's initial idea to retake the bunker, saying he only had a dozen men -- it would be suicide. When Daniel said he just needed to contact the SGC for help, Kane pointed out that Daniel had been trying to do just that since he woke up (weeks earlier), and had had no luck. (Icon)
• When Leda began arguing Daniel's case for the plan to take Soren out, Kane assumed it was because she had feelings for him -- he'd noticed how she acted around Daniel. (Icon)
• Eventually he went for it, and after both he and the SGC had confirmed the plan, he led his small troop and Daniel back in through the city's tunnels to stage their half of the two-pronged assault. (Icon)
• After they had taken everything but the command center, they surrounded it and called for Soren's surrender. When he emerged, holding a rifle (by its barrel, with his arms extended to his sides), Kane shot him where he stood, killing him. (Icon)
• Leda:
• Jared Kane's wife. (Icon)
• When Jared joined Commander Gareth's inner circle, he became distant, and wasn't around much. She became very unhappy and lonely in her marriage. (Icon)
• When the fighting reached the capital, Jared had her move to her uncle's house in the country
• Kane brought the badly injured Daniel to her in the country so she could care for him and keep him safe from the fundamentalists led by Soren. (Icon)
• She became very fond of Daniel during his stay, but nothing appeared to come of it. (Icon)
• She agreed with her husband that there was no hope for any of them -- they'd die one way or the other. Daniel talked her into believing that his plan would work, and got her to work on Jared Kane. (Icon)
• Jared believed that she was arguing Daniel's case because she loved him, and that she was willing to risk Jared's life and those of his men just for a chance for Daniel to get home safely. She insisted she was thinking of their people, and that she believed Daniel when he said this was their best chance to stop Soren. (Icon)
• Before they could even confirm the plan with the SGC after Jack sent approval, rebel soldiers appeared to search the house for loyalists to kill Leda hid Jared, Daniel, and all of Jared's men in the cellar and lied through her teeth to the rebels to protect them. (Icon)
• She saw them all off to the city with no idea if she'd see her husband again, and knowing she wouldn't see Daniel if they succeeded. (Icon)
• Soren X:
• A religious fundamentalist who had been the leader of a small group of zealots before the SGC made contact. (Icon)
• After the stargate was activated, rumors started to fly about it, and his group had all the proof it needed that its beliefs -- that the gods would return one day through the stargate, and reward them for their faith -- were right. (Icon)
• Soren managed to unite all the fundamentalist factions under himself. (Icon)
• As the numbers of fundamentalist followers increased, Soren began a religious civil war, and started taking over much of the country, including the city where the stargate was housed. (Icon)
• When Caledonia launched a preemptive strike against Rand's missile bases after Soren's troops gained access to one, his troops retaliated with a counter-launch. That escalated the situation into full-scale war, devastating both countries. (Icon)
• When the fighting ended, Soren had control of Rand and was based in the capital city. (Icon)
• He set up a provisional government, such as it was, and had control of the entire bunker complex, including the room where the stargate had been moved for security reasons. (Icon)
• He renamed the country " Avidan" (" the gods are just" , in an ancient Goa'uld dialect). (Icon)
• He apparently gave himself the rank of Commander after taking over as the country's leader. (Icon)
• He steadily refused to allow the SGC to search for Daniel, who'd been trapped on the planet during the war, saying that offworld teams would cause fear and panic (and that a UAV would interfere with Rand's own radio communications). (Icon)
• He went to Earth (with two aides/bodyguards) at Jack's invitation, when SG-9 had no success convincing him to let the SGC search. (Icon)
• Looking out the briefing room window at the stargate, he assumed that the people at the SGC (and presumably all over Earth) also revered the Great Ring. (Icon)
• When the SGC offered food, medicine, and support personnel to help stabilize the situation in return for the help in locating Daniel, he declined -- instead, he wanted weapons technology. (Icon)
• He believed that everyone who had died (and from his tone, everyone who would die from starvation and disease) had needed to be purged from existence so they could begin anew. (Icon)
• He wanted the weapons because " the revolution is not yet complete" -- he wanted to take over Caledonia, too. (Icon)
• When the SGC and the loyalists led by Jared Kane (and Daniel) staged a joint attack to recover the bunker, Soren refused to surrender, even after they'd taken everything except the command center. (Icon)
• He insisted that the handful of troops with him in command engage the attackers, even though they were surrounded. When one of his people questioned the decision, saying they were hopelessly outnumbered, Soren shot her. (Icon)
• He gave a little speech about not dishonoring the gods with cowardice, and told his people once again to engage the enemy. None of them moved Soren took one of their rifles and went to face the SG and loyalist troops by himself.
• Ordered by Sam to drop his weapon, he held it out to the side by the barrel. Jared Kane shot him where he stood. (Icon)
• Known Caledonians:
• Minister Treydan:
• He was the man dealing with Commander Gareth about the Great Ring, and the heightened security alert. (Icon)
• He was not pleased with the way the Rand Protectorate had treated the Caledonia Federation regarding the Great Ring the lack of access to the ring itself for Caledonian scientists and lack of access to the offworlders (SG-1) were his main grievances. (Icon)
• He warned Gareth that Caledonia was going to target Rand missile sites after Soren's troops gained access to one, and told him that the only way to avoid full-out war was not to retaliate. (Icon)
• It's not known if he surived the brief, devastating war that followed. (Icon)
• Residents:
• After the Gamekeeper incident, the virtual-reality chair was redesigned to have the cutoff command into the program, so only someone in the chair can control it. (Avatar)
• Several years after the incident with SG-1, the scientists on the planet offered (or were asked for and gave) the SGC one of their newer virtual-reality chairs, to adjust into a training tool for new SGC personnel. (Avatar)
• A couple of years later, the SGC's chair was ready for " live" testing (by someone other than one of the project scientists). (Avatar)
• When Sam contacted the scientists on the planet and explained what was happening to Teal'c in the simulation being run, they said there was nothing they could do. They did have a neural imprint of Teal'c's mind from six years earlier, though, and gave her that so she could run a separate set of simulations in a second chair. (Avatar)
• Presumably, they have imprints of all of SG-1's minds. (Avatar)
• Added to Miscellaneous page:
  • Nicknames:
    • Jack's names for Teal'c
    • T
    • Avatar (Inside the virtual-reality simulation game (which took its cues from Teal'c))
    • Jack's names for other people:
    • Camulus:

    • Cammy (directly to him) (Zero Hour)
  • Speaking in unison:
    • Team:
    • Avatar, when Dr. Carmichael says that there's a good chance whoever goes into the game to help Teal'c will be trapped along with him: " I'll do it." [Jack, Sam, Daniel]
• Added to Nitpicks page
• Props:
• Armory door:
• Purely a spelling error it's spelled Armoury in the episode. The SGC is unlikely to use Canadian spellings for its labels. (Avatar)
• Individual episodes:
• Lockdown:
• Did the SGC send a bomb through after enough time had passed to be sure Vaselov had died? If they didn't do everything they could to remotely bury the gate, there's a chance that some other explorers will happen on the planet and give Anubis his way off. (Lockdown)
• Vaselov's body would be destroyed by an incoming wormhole, but if Anubis was just floating around, he could still infest anyone else who came through. (Lockdown)
• Zero Hour:
• After more than a week of total lockdown on the base, when there were no new mission reports coming in or pre- or post-mission briefings to conduct, why was Jack still so far behind on personnel files? That should have been the perfect opportunity to catch up. (Okay, it's way funnier that he was still so backlogged, and I grinned my head off when I saw it, but still. He shouldn't be so far behind at this point.)
• Is there any scientific field that Dr. Lee doesn't work in?
• I like him a lot, and I always enjoy watching him, enough to easily speedbump this while watching, but really -- the SGC must have experts in a couple dozen fields working at the base, but they always go to Dr. Lee these days. He handles biology, physics, engineering, Ancient technology, bomb-defusing, possibly archaeology... There's no way he can be that skilled at that many disciplines.
• Sam tells Jack that the gate is going to shut down, implying that it will happen very soon -- but as long as there's radio signal going through, they have 38 minutes before it shuts down. It had only been open for a couple of minutes at that point, so they should have had half an hour.
• Moot point, of course, since they were under heavy fire and really couldn't afford to sit around chatting for half an hour while Jack made up his mind. Still -- strange thing for Sam to say.
• Icon:
• Why would either Sam or Jack, never mind both of them, think even for a split second that Teal'c's translation of Goa'uld might not be correct? It's his native language, and he's thoroughly fluent in English now, as well.
• Jared Kane said the SGC was sending 15 men -- in fact, it was three teams plus Sam and Teal'c, or 14.
• Possible spackling: he was including Daniel in the 15. But considering how long Daniel had been on the planet, and that he would be part of Kane's team going in, that seems a bit odd.
• Avatar:
• I have bitched before, and will bitch again, about Damian Kindler episodes, but thought it only fair to say: I liked this one. Go figure!
• Sam says that the idea of having the cutoff command be inside the program is a new thing since the Gatekeeper incident, but in the original episode, SG-1 avoided unhooking any chairs for fear of doing damage to the people in them, and everyone in the chairs got out by following SG-1 (who were following the Gamekeeper) out through the cutoff route -- any door that had a spiral on it. So I don't really see the difference, or how the new chair is supposed to be any safer (and clearly, it's not, since Teal'c couldn't get out by himself).
• The technobabble about the data recorder and the two-second delay makes no sense to me. I could speedbump it very easily on the first viewing, but as soon as I started writing down how the whole thing worked, I got bogged down. (If someone can explain this to me, I'd be grateful!)
• If the loop goes processor -> recorder -> Teal'c -> processor, wouldn't he notice a two-second delay between what he did and when the next thing happened? Two seconds is a very long time.
• If the loop goes processor -> Teal'c -> recorder -> processor, it's easier to buy the timing issue.
• But, in either case -- how does Daniel get tied into the loop without the recorder being involved at all? If he was actually experiencing things two seconds earlier than Teal'c, wouldn't they be sort of out-of-phase with each other? Why would he be existing in the same time as Teal'c and able to talk to him/interact with him, but still be able to see two seconds ahead?
• Pick. A damn name. For the poor technician! The man has been in more than 70 episodes at this point, they should know what his name is.
• I know, it's a big joke to TPTB, and they have a lot of fun with it. But it's unbelievably frustrating when you're trying to maintain a site with accurate canonical references for a show that's usually extremely good about maintaining a universe that you can accept because the seams don't show. This? Is a giant gaping rip in the fabric of their reality, and it drives me bonkers.
• Affinity:
• I can't decide whether it's weak writing, or writing deliberately meant to show how hypocrital and strangely biased the Trust is, even in its paranoias, but choosing to spy on Teal'c and no one else (apparently) is just bizarre.
• Is the Trust also maintaining surveillance on Cassie and Marty? They're also aliens living on Earth, and roam around freely. Cassie is even known to be someone whom the Goa'uld have tampered with, down to her very genes, and Nirrti clearly had no problem setting things up to happen years in the future inside Cassie's body.
• If Nyan accepted the job he was offered, he's also living on Earth, possibly also in the general population.
• Jacob, carrying an alien symbiote that regularly takes over his body and is capable of controlling him utterly if it chose to, has come back to Earth on numerous occasions, and at least once went for a visit to San Diego to see his son. Was the rogue NID watching his every move, and has the Trust since been spying on him whenever he returns?
• Beyond actual aliens, there are a lot of potentially compromised people living on Earth, specifically in the US:
• Tommy Levinson and everyone else who had lived at Seth's compound were completely under Seth's control -- if the rogue NID and later the trust are really that paranoid about alien influences, are they watching all of them every day?
• The people from the town in Nightwalkers were all Goa'uld hosts -- their memories have been suppressed, not erased. Are they all being watched as well?
• Sarah Gardner was host to a former System Lord turned high-ranking lieutenant to Anubis -- if any trace of Osiris remains, or even if her psyche was warped by the possession, she's a clear danger. Is she being watched?
• Heck, Ernest Littlefield spent 50 years living offworld -- he claims to have been alone the entire time, but there's no actual proof that he wasn't brainwashed by aliens and is a spy living amongst us. (Ridiculous, but possible.)
• Of all of them, Teal'c is the only one who has proved his loyalty to the planet and the country day in, day out, for more than eight years. Even Jacob chose to go with the Tok'ra than stay on Earth. So why target Teal'c in particular?
• Regardless of whether this was meant to show how freaky strange the Trust is, there still should have been some sign that the SGC was checking up on all those people who would be potential Trust surveillance targets, because if I can see the connection, they sure as hell should be able to. So that part of the writing, at the very least, is extremely weak. (Sam should really be blowing a gasket at the idea that Cassie may be being spied on, if nothing else!)
• Beyond the Trust's weird reaction to Teal'c and only Teal'c, there's the OSI's bizarre assumption that he's a security risk because he exists. If he is, so is everyone else -- Hammond's grandchildren have been snatched, Sam's been kidnapped and nearly killed for her physical brain, Sam and Daniel were kidnapped by the NID, Jack was framed for attempted murder, both Jack and Sam were personally approached by reporters who had lots of information about the program... all because of their association with the stargate program. They're all risks. Teal'c is no different, and it's not like he's never been seen in public before.
• Pete said, " I put in for a transfer to Colorado Springs PD" -- he can't have. He has to have applied to CSPD, and if he's accepted, he'll have to quit the Denver force. Police departments in different towns/cities are independent of each other, so it's impossible to transfer between them.
• If Pete isn't even sure that Sam considers herself his girlfriend (when she says " bit of an exaggeration" he asks " the superhero part, or the girlfriend part" ), why is he proposing? He really needed to talk to her first before he sprang that ring on her.
• Why is Pete talking about Sam's job out in public, especially after she just said " you know I can't talk about my job" ?
• This isn't specifically about Pete  -- other people have done the same sort of thing, including Jack and Maybourne yelling at each other over a truck at a gas station. It just wigs me out every time someone does it. Top Secret is supposed to be secret. Especially after Jack heard himself on tape discussing the program with Sam in Secrets, when they'd thought themselves safe because there was no one within immediate hearing distance, you'd think they'd all be a bit more careful.
• Does Pete not watch CSI or Forensic Files? You can't assume that there won't be any evidence left behind just by glancing around a room! (The pizza was a good idea, though.)

September 7, 2004

• I just switched to a new HTML editor, and am still getting used to it. If you notice any wonky formatting, please let me know so I can fix it.
• I took the notes for New Order from the original airing, when it was one solid episode. Everything is marked just New Order, with no indication of which part it's from, because I wasn't sure where the split would happen.

• General background info:
  • In early 2004, Sam was promoted to lieutenant colonel. (New Order)
• Romantic interests:
• Pete:
• Still seeing Pete, months after meeting him. (New Order)
• The relationship is strong enough that Fifth assumed she'd believe in a mental utopia of living on a farm with Pete, with no more ties to the SGC. (New Order)
• Stalker boys:
• Fifth took over from Narim (who used her voice as his computer's voice) as head stalker-boy when he kidnapped her and tried to force her into a mental world where they'd be happy together forever. (New Order)
• Career:
  • Ranks:
  • Captain
  • As of 1997 no idea when she was promoted to that rank.
  • Major
  • Promoted in 1999 (Fair Game)
  • Lietuenant Colonel
  • Promoted in 2004 (New Order)
  • When Jack was being overcome by the Ancient knowledge he'd downloaded into his brain, Sam took over as commander of SG-1. (Lost City, part 2)
  • In early 2004, she was promoted to lieutenant colonel, in Jack's first official act as a general and as head of the SGC. (New Order)
  • Commands:
  • Still in command of SG-1 after Jack went into stasis under Antarctica. (New Order)
  • Basically blackmailed Dr. Weir into letting her and Teal'c head off in a modified scout ship to contact the Asgard, in hopes of getting help for Jack (in stasis in Antarctica). She left Daniel behind on Earth to try to decipher the information in the Ancient outpost, hoping it would help Jack if she and Teal'c failed. (New Order)
• Income:
• As of 2004 (based on the military pay calculator and an educated guess or two, and assuming she was promoted to lieutenant  colonel early in the year):
• About $97,540/year in regular compensation (including allowances), based on her rank/grade  (Lieutenant  Colonel  05) and an assumption of 16 years' active service. Could also be getting hazard pay.
• Base monthly income is $6,213, not including allowances.
• If she were still a major, she would have been making about  $90,179/year in regular compensation (including allowances), based on 16 years of service.
• Severe emotional trauma:
  • Mentally tortured by Fifth, after Fifth's escape from Hala. He called up some of her worst memories -- including a snarling Unas, Jack in pain (possibly from Lost City, going into stasis), Daniel burning up (from Fire and Water), and piles of skulls in the first round, followed by more burning/flames, more skulls, Apophis forcing her to drink the Blood of Sokar, repeated spider imagery, Teal'c being hit with a torture stick, and a window [no clue what the window means] -- and hammered her with them, specifically to torment her for what she'd done to him. (New Order)
  • nb: This isn't emotional trauma of the sort usually listed in this category, but since Fifth didn't physically harm her, it didn't quite fit into & quotsevere injuries" , which is where it would have gone otherwise.
• Presumed deaths:
  • The Replicator ship she was on was destroyed moments after dropping out of hyperspace, presumably with her still aboard. No one on Earth knew about it, but Thor and the rest of her team believed she had died. (New Order)
• Misc.:
  • (pure speculation) Possibly has a phobia about spiders when Fifth was mentally torturing her, he brought up spider imagery a few times (specifically not Replicators these were drawings of actual spiders). (New Order)
  • Hallucinations:
  • While being held captive by Fifth, she was put into a mental landscape that Fifth hoped she would believe -- he wanted her to stay with him forever, willingly. He put her in a & quotutopia" of a farm in Montana, with Pete Shanahan, claiming that she'd lived there for a year, after leaving the stargate program because of mental stress. He tried to cover her belief that this wasn't real by telling her that she still had episodes where she couldn't shake the memories -- she was seeing a shrink for it -- and that she'd had a particularly bad one when she woke up believing she was really on a Replicator ship. (New Order)
  • Sam went along a little bit, but never lost her conviction that the farm and Pete weren't real. Eventually, she got insistent enough that Fifth gave up and showed himself in Pete's place. (New Order)
  • When he told her he was doing this to her because he loved her, she got a little freaked. (New Order)
  • Still in the mental landscape, she told him that while his having feelings made him special, she could never be happy in the reality he'd created for them. He replied very coldly that she'd be unhappy for a very long time, instead. (New Order)

Added to Teal'c:

• Romantic interests:
  • Still keeping in touch with Ishta, several months after meeting her. (New Order)
• Income:
• As of 2004 (based on the military pay calculator and the above assumptions):
• $66,801, assuming the equivalent of 12 years's service, and that grade E-9 is correct. As always, this is a total guess he could be making significantly more, to put him on a more even footing with the rest of the team. Or not. He could also be getting hazard pay.
• Food preferences:
  • Turkey sandwiches  (" [his]  favorite" ,  according  to  Sam) (New Order)
• Misc.:
  • Stopped shaving his head (for unknown reasons) shortly after Anubis attacked Earth and was defeated. (New Order)

• History:
• Timeline:
  • early 2004: The stargate program remains effectively shut down (& quotall normal gate activity will remain suspended" ) after Anubis's attack while various governments try to work out an agreement for control of the Antarctic site. (New Order)
  • More than a week after Anubis's attack, negotiations for control of the Antarctic are still bogged down. (New Order)
  • The High Council of System Lords sends a delegation (Yu, Camulus, Amaterasu) to Earth to request Earth's help against Baal, who is rapidly taking Anubis's place as potential ruler of the galaxy. (New Order)
  • President Hayes approves the start of negotiations with the Goa'uld, leaving Weir in charge. (New Order)
  • Weir very possibly nullifies the entire Protected Planets Treaty when she tells the Goa'uld delegation that the Asgard are helping Earth to implement hyperdrive technology. According to the treaty, any technological aid rendered by the Asgard to a protected planet voids the treaty, leaving all the protected worlds legally open to attack by the Goa'uld. (New Order)
  • nb: Nobody at the negotiating table mentions this fact, so it's possible that it was overlooked in the stress of the moment, but that doesn't change the legal facts. Hereafter, the Goa'uld can rightfully claim that the Treaty is null and void.
  • Oshu tells Weir that Baal will be a far greater threat than Anubis was if he defeats the System Lords, and that he will truly rule the galaxy. He requests that they be allowed to leave, to fight Baal or at least die with honor. Weir takes the information to her superiors, and returns to the Goa'uld, telling them they're being released. Yu (and Oshu) and Amaterasu leave Camulus requests asylum and remains on Earth, having nothing but shame and torture to return to, since his domain was one of the first to fall. (New Order)
  • early 2004: Weir moves on to take over at the Antarctic facility. (New Order)
  • early 2004: Hammond takes over as head of & quotHomeworld Security" -- the Stargate program, the Antarctic site, the 303 program, etc. He is possibly promoted to lieutenant general with this move, but that's not specified canonically. (New Order)
  • early 2004: Jack is promoted to general and put in command of the SGC. (New Order)
  • General Jack O'Neill's first official act is to promote Sam to lieutenant colonel. New Order)

• Technology:
  • Goa'uld:
  • Scout ship
  • • It originally belonged to Ronan. When he tried to betray SG-1 and Bra'tac to Anubis, Bra'tac killed him, and they all returned to Earth in the ship, where it stayed. (Lost City, part 2)
  • It was heavily modified by Jack (functionally an Ancient at the time) to be able to travel far faster than any Goa'uld ship. (Lost City, part 2)
  • Sam and Teal'c took it to fly to the Asgard galaxy in hopes of finding help for Jack (stuck in stasis to avoid dying from Ancient overload). They came out of hyperspace on the event horizon of a black hole, and the ship was eventually torn to pieces. (New Order)

Added to SGC Personnel:

• Sgt. Davis:
• Brought Weir a memory-stick with a copy of the message the three Goa'uld negotiating with Earth (Yu, Camulus, Amaterasu) sent back to the other System Lords. (New Order)
• He read the promotion announcement for Carter while Jack pinned her silver stars on. (New Order)
• Hammond:
  • Career:
    • Post-SGC:
    • After Anubis's attack and the negotiations with the Goa'uld System Lords about Baal, Hammond was promoted. He'll be in charge of & quotHomeworld Security" (unofficial designation) -- all things relating to Earth's defense, including the SGC, the 303 program, and the Antarctic site. (He's still Jack's direct superior, in other words). (New Order)
  • Income:
  • As of 2004 (based on the military pay calculator and an educated guess or two, and using the CONUS average rather than Colorado Springs-specific pay):
  • If he's still a Major General (grade 08): about $159,078 in regular compensation (including allowances).
  • Base monthly pay of roughly $10,635, not including allowances.
  • If he's a Lieutenant General (grade 09): about $173,736 in regular compensation (including allowances).
  • Base monthly pay of roughly $11,738, not including allowances.
• Colonel Lionel Pendergast, USAF:
  • Commander of the Prometheus, at least as of after the battle with Anubis's forces over Antarctica. (New Order)
  • He had the job of holding in space, waiting for the attack by the Goa'uld when a ship about the right size appeared, he identified himself and his ship, and said that failure to reply would be considered an act of aggression and that the Prometheus would respond with the full force of its weapons. He (and the rest of the bridge crew) was relieved to find out the approaching ship was Teal'c and Thor aboard the Daniel Jackson. (New Order)
• Weir:
• Her father used to have weekly poker games with his friends when she was small she never paid much attention. (New Order)
• Claimed to be unfamiliar with bluffing in any real practical sense she said she didn't use bluffs in her international negotiations. (New Order)
• The negotiations with the High Council of the System Lords (in the persons of Yu, Amaterasu, and Camulus) were her first interplanetary negotiations. (New Order)
• She steadfastly refused to help the Goa'uld in their battle against Baal, even when they offered hyperdrive engines as an enticement (without mentioning how many they planned to offer, and refusing to give a total number of their own ships, so Earth could plan to build an equivalent force). (New Order)
• To emphasize the fact that Earth didn't need Goa'uld help, Weir told them that Earth had hyperdrive technology already, and that it was being implemented with the help of the Asgard. This was news to the Goa'uld. (New Order)
• NB: (personal speculation) This may have nullified the entire Protected Planets Treaty although no mention was made of it, the fact is that one of the requirements of the treaty is that the Asgard not give technological help to any of the planets under its protection, and that helping even just one would nullify the entire thing. Earth is still listed in the treaty, so theoretically, all the treaty's provisions should still apply.
• When Amaterasu implied (pretty broadly) that the System Lords would just let Baal know that Earth's Ancient weapon wasn't working, to trick him into going to Earth so Earth would have to destroy him anyway, Weir appeared to cave, agreeing to take him on. She followed it up immediately with non-negotiable conditions: Earth was to be given all of Baal's territory, armies, and ships in return. As she expected, this didn't go over especially well, and bought Earth a little time as the three negotiating Goa'uld had to contact the other System Lords to discuss the new situation. (New Order)
• After temporarily bluffing the Goa'uld, while waiting for them to come up with an answer, Weir started thinking about reviving Jack from stasis, even without the Asgard standing by to save his life by yanking the Ancient knowledge from his brain before it destroyed him. She specifically wanted the Anciented Jack (okay, terrible term, but you know what I mean), so he could use the weapon -- assuming it still had enough of a charge to be useful -- against either Baal or the other Goa'uld, because it was starting to look like Earth was definitely in for an attack, and soon. (New Order)
• When the Goa'uld delegation was recalled to further discuss the issue, Weir was seeing them off, and was as surprised as they were when the stargate shut down. When Daniel (who'd shut it down personally) came into the gateroom to explain that the System Lords were sending a ship to attack Earth to test its defenses, Weir declared that an act of war, and took Yu, Camulus, and Amaterasu (and Oshu, by default) prisoner, stripping them of diplomatic rights. (New Order)
• After listening to an impassioned plea by Oshu (who told her that Baal's power would put Anubis's to shame, basically, if he succeeded in conquering the System Lords, and asked that she free them all to fight him, or at least to die with honor), she went to her superiors and was told to free the Goa'uld delegates. (New Order)
• She was taken completely by surprise when Camulus requested asylum on Earth, but granted it. (New Order)
• Shortly thereafter, Hayes requested that she switch jobs, and supervise the research at the Ancient outpost in Antarctica her particular skills were well-suited to handling the delicate situation with the various international claims already being made on the site. (New Order)
• Before she left, she passed along the news of Hammond's new job, and Jack's proposed promotion. (New Order)
• Her last official act as head of the SGC was to introduce the SGC to its new commanding officer -- Brigadier General Jack O'Neill. (New Order)

• General info:
• Long ago, Asgard scientists extracted parts of the Ancients' library of knowledge and began studying it, gaining a good deal of information. But despite studying it for as long as Thor can remember (at least a thousand years), they'd barely scratched the surface. (New Order)
• The Asgard have been harried across their galaxy by the Replicators over the years (see " war with the Replicators" ). In escaping from Hala in what was supposed to have been the final battle with the Replicators, the Asgard had carried many minds in the computers of their ships. When they found Orilla, they transferred those minds to cloned bodies to begin building their colony Orilla was going to be the base from which they rebuilt their empire. (New Order)
• Worlds:
• Hala:
• Hala was destroyed after the Asgard deliberately increased its sun's gravitational field and collapsed it into a black hole in hopes of finally destroying the Replicators  they'd  trapped  on  the  planet  two  years  earlier  . (New Order)
• Orilla:
• The planet where the Asgard were trying to rebuild their civilization, after being battered terribly during the Replicator war. (New Order)
• It's rich in neutronium, a key element in Asgard technology. (New Order)
• It was nearly overrun by Replicators, until Jack (with an Ancient database in his brain) developed a weapon that would destroy Replicators. (New Order)
• War with the Replicators:
• At some point during the war with the Replicators, the Asgard tried to develop a weapon that would disrupt cellular/block communication, effectively killing the critters. The attempt failed. (New Order)
• Less than two years after SG-1 helped trap the Replicators on Hala, the Asgard realized the Replicators would soon break out of the time-dilation bubble, and collapsed Hala's sun by artificially increasing its gravitational field, turning it into a black hole. (New Order)
• The time/space distortions messed up their long-distance communications ability, so they never got any of Earth's requests for help. (New Order)
• The plan didn't work in the end a mass of Replicators banded together and escaped in the form of a (very cool) ship, possibly using the time dilation device to counter the gravitational forces of the black hole somehow. (New Order)
• When an escaping Replicator ship found out about the new Asgard homeworld, Orilla (from sending individual Replicators to poke around on the Daniel Jackson), and headed that way, Thor got word to the others who set up a trap above the planet, at the point where the Replicator ship was assumed to drop out of hyperspace. The trap worked, and the ship was destroyed, but many replicator bits fell to the planet's surface and began uniting and replicating, infesting the city's systems almost immediately. (New Order)
• Among the systems infested and ruined were those used to store Asgard minds, leaving the Asgard trapped: if they didn't defeat the Replicators on Orilla, their civilization would die, because there was no way to store/transfer minds from body to body. (New Order)
• Thor had beamed the stasis-bound Jack (with an Ancient database in his brain) onto the Daniel Jackson, and merged his mind with the ship s computer in hopes of discovering a weapon that would stop the Replicators permanently. It worked. Jack developed a weapon that emits a beam that disrupts communications between individual cells, rendering them inert. Replicators collapse into a pile of metallic dust/shavings when the beam hits them. Jack created a hand-held version Thor modified it to be a ship's weapon, with a very broad beam. (New Order)
• Thor used the new weapon on Orilla, to kill all the Replicators on the planet and free the colony. One humanoid Replicator (Fifth) and hundreds of smaller Replicators, many of them formed into a single giant ship form, escaped, but Orilla was saved and the Asgard were left with an effective means of defense. (New Order)
• Known Asgard:
• Aegir:
  • Served aboard (presumably commander of, but never confirmed) the Valhalla, one of the Asgard ships that gathered near the point where the Replicator ship was assumed to drop out of hyperspace, hoping to destroy it before it could reach Orilla. (New Order)
  • His ship located a human-form Replicator floating in space, apparently inactive, after the Replicator ship's destruction he told Thor about it. (New Order)
• Penegal:
  • A member of the Asgard High Council. (New Order)
• Thor:
• Named his new ship the Daniel Jackson. (New Order)
• Traveled in the Daniel Jackson to observe the final destruction of Hala in the black hole of its sun (which the Asgard had collapsed deliberately, to destroy the Replicators on Hala), and spotted Sam and Teal'c's scout ship just in time to save their lives. (New Order)
• Almost immediately, Thor spotted a new kind of Replicator ship, escaping from the event horizon. It attacked the Daniel Jackson with a projectile weapon made up of Replicators, which started skittering around the ship. Sam and Teal'c went to fight them off Teal'c got as many as he could find, but Sam was beamed out to the Replicator ship. (New Order)
• When Thor realized that the Replicator ship (with Sam aboard) was heading for the new Asgard homeworld of Orilla, he chose the only option left to him -- the ship's self-destruct, which should take out both the Daniel Jackson and the Replicator ship, if he could get close enough. (New Order)
• Replicators that had hid on board slowed the Daniel Jackson down, making the self-destruct useless as an offensive weapon. (New Order)
• With the option of destroying the Replicators himself gone, he managed to get through to Orilla, warning them what was going on and giving them the speed and direction of the Replicator ship, so they could set up an ambush. (New Order)
• The ambush was only half-successful the ship was destroyed, but countless blocks rained down on Orilla and began replicating, threatening the last of Asgard civilization. Thor headed his ship for Earth, hoping that the Ancient knowledge in Jack's head would provide a way to defeat the Replicators for good. He beamed up first Daniel, then Jack, putting Jack in a stasis pod and transferring his consciousness to the ship's computers. (New Order)
• The gamble worked Jack created a weapon to use against the Replicators before his body began to fail to the point that Thor was forced to revive him completely, stripping out all Ancient knowledge. (New Order)
• Aegir called with the news that a humanoid Replicator had been found floating in space, apparently inactive. Thor beamed the body into the stasis pod Jack had been in, hoping it was still active enough to be hooked into the Replicator communications network so he could intercept information, and see what any of the Replicators see. When the communications came up on screen, Thor set it to find human forms, hoping to find the humanoid Replicator that had taken control on the planet. (New Order)
• Instead, they found Sam, trapped in a Replicator structure on the surface some distance from the colony. (New Order)
• Just as they realized it was Sam on the planet, the " inactive" humanoid Replicator woke up, shutting down the communications flow. Thor's attempt to beam it out to space failed the Replicator breached the internal barrier and interfaced with some of the Daniel Jackson's systems, then got out of the stasis pod. (New Order)
• When P-90s didn't stop it, Jack went for the weapon he'd designed, using it to completely destroy the Replicator (and nothing else -- this was a very targeted weapon). It interrupted all communication between individual cells, rendering each one inert. (New Order)
• Thor made a modified, huge version of the hand-held weapon, one that could be fired from his ship and send a beam that would radiate out over the entire planet. He took out all the Replicators except those that escaped with Fifth. (New Order)
• Technology
• Neutronium:
• Not technology itself, but a key element in Asgard tech. (New Order)
• Replicator-killer:
• (better name coming if and when canon supplies one).
• Invented by Jack, while he had an Ancient database in his brain. (New Order)
• It emits a beam that disrupts communications between individual cells, rendering them inert. Replicators collapse into a pile of metallic dust/shavings when the beam hits them. Jack created a hand-held version Thor modified it to be a ship's weapon, with a very broad beam. (New Order)
• Ships:
• General info:
• Scanners/sensors:
• The first thing that Replicators do after boarding an Asgard ship is disable the sensors that can detect them. (Nemesis)
• As of eighth season, Asgard scanners are still incapable of detecting Replicators. (New Order)
• nb: this seems to contradict the information given in Nemesis.
• Shields and weapons:
• Can't function in hyperspace. (New Order)
• The Daniel Jackson
• Thor's ship. (New Order)
• Roughly the size of a Goa'uld mothership, according to the sensors aboard the Prometheus. (New Order)
• The Valhalla:
• One of the ships that destroyed the Replicator ship above Orilla, possibly commanded by Aegir. (New Order)

• General info:
• Neutronium is essential for the creation of human-form Replicators. (New Order)
• War with the Asgard:
• It took less than two years of realtime for the trapped humanoid Replicators to reach and begin modifying the time dilation device. (New Order)
• Despite being on a planet that was breaking up as a result of a sudden black hole in the neighborhood (courtesy the Asgard, who had collapsed Hala's sun for that very purpose), enough Replicators managed to get together to form a ship and begin an escape attempt. It worked. They may have been using the time dilation device to somehow counteract the gravitational forces. (New Order)
• They attacked the Daniel Jackson with a Replicator-missile of sorts it breached the ship's hull and the Replicators scattered around, gaining access to the computer before Teal'c started shooting. They discovered the location of Orilla, the new Asgard homeworld, and passed the information along. The Replicator ship, after kidnapping Sam, took off for Orilla. (New Order)
• The ship was destroyed above Orilla by Asgard ships lying in wait, but Fifth managed to escape with Sam, and many Replicator blocks survived entry to rain down on the planet's surface, where they began replicating. They infested many of the systems on the planet, including those that were designed to house Asgard consciousnesses while they awaited new clone bodies without those, any Asgard death would be a true death. (New Order)
• Before they could destroy the planet, Thor used a new weapon designed to disrupt  the communication between replicator cells, rendering each one inert. He modified the hand weapon Jack had designed into a giant ship-based weapon that could send a blastwave across the planet's surface, disintegrating all the Replicators there.(New Order)
• A few escaped, in the form of a ship controlled by Fifth. His & quotbrethren" had collected enough neutronium while on the surface to create at least one more humanoid Replicator, which Fifth created in the form of Sam. (New Order)
• Humanoid Replicators:
• Not restricted to their precise humanoid form Fifth had no apparent problem extending his hand out to have much longer fingers to stick them into Sam's head when she was trying to hold his hand away from her, and also seemed to be able to walk though walls (made of Replicator blocks). (New Order)
• The Replicators created more than the six that SG-1 originally met, but it's unclear how many more. (At least one, male form, white.)   (New Order)
• Known Replicators:
• Fifth:
• Survived the destruction of Hala and escaped with many non-humanoid Replicators, which grouped themselves into a ship. (New Order)
• After a projectile made of Replicators breached the Daniel Jackson, with Replicators surviving to gather information about the ship, Fifth beamed Sam off and onto the Replicator ship. (New Order)
• • He was incredibly angry and hurt at being abandoned on Hala after Sam had promised to help him escape. (New Order, Unnatural Selection) He stuck his hand in her head and started pulling out bad memories -- a snarling Unas, Jack in pain (possibly from Lost City, going into stasis), Daniel burning up (from Fire and Water), and piles of skulls in the first round, followed by more burning/flames, more skulls, Apophis forcing her to drink the Blood of Sokar, repeated spider imagery, Teal'c being hit with a torture stick, and a window [no clue what the window means] -- specifically to torment her, so that she would suffer like he had. (New Order)
  • He told her that thanks to her (and SG-1's) actions on Hala in trapping him, he learned cruelty, betrayal, and revenge -- like a real human (and unlike all the other Replicators). (New Order)
  • After Sam tried very hard to appeal to his better side, he changed tack he imprisoned her body and put her mind into a mental utopia of sorts, living on a farm in Montana with Pete Shanahan. (New Order)
  • & quotPete" told her they'd been there for a year, since she left the stargate program because of mental stress he said she was having trouble shaking the memories from the program, enough that she was seeing a shrink for it regularly, and that her lack of belief in the reality of the farm when she woke up was just a sign that she was having another episode. (New Order)
  • When she steadfastly refused to believe in the & quotreality" , Fifth relented and appeared in Pete's place, saying he'd done all this because he loved her. (New Order)
  • Sam was impressed that he had feelings, but shot him down, telling him she'd never be happy in his fake & quotreality" . He turned very cold, promising that she'd be unhappy for a very long time, instead. (New Order)
• Can move through solid walls made of Replicators (because of his cellular-level control of his form). (New Order)
• He was wearing a leather-looking strap as a bracelet, for some reason. (New Order)
• All the while he was alternately torturing and trying to seduce Sam, he was directing the Replicators' infestation of Orilla, making them far more organized than the Asgard had ever seen before. (New Order)
• When Jack, Daniel, and Teal'c beamed down to the planet to rescue Sam, and took on a whole lot of Replicators (Daniel and Teal'c using P-90s, Jack using the weapon he'd created with Ancient knowledge to turn the Replicators into little inert piles of metal scraps), Fifth went out to demand they stop, promising to kill Sam if they attacked him or his brethren any more. (New Order)
• He went back into Sam's mental world to tell her they would have to leave, because thanks to Jack the Asgard had a means of fighting the Replicators he was going to have to leave many Replicators behind in the city to be killed, because there was no time to wait for them. He told her her friends didn't care about her, because they were still killing Replicators after his ultimatum, and was not happy to find out that she believed that SG-1 knew she'd rather be dead than spend eternity with Fifth. He was in tears when she asked him to either kill her or let her go. (New Order)
• Fifth left in his ship -- a giant spider-Replicator form, made out of & quotliving" Replicators -- but did leave Sam behind to be found by SG-1. (New Order)
• Having collected enough neutronium on Orilla, he created a new humanoid Replicator, identical to Sam. He told her that he would teach her everything he knew, and that while they would have to search for a planet for their brethren to propagate, everyone would soon know that together, the two of them could not be stopped. (New Order)

• Fixed broken links and typos throughout the site.

Additions/deletions:

• Added to Jack:
  • Career:
    • Officially declared missing in action after several attempts to retrieve him from Edora failed because the Edoran stargate was buried. (A Hundred Days)
      • He was missing for more than three months before the SGC managed to rescue him, living as part of the Edoran village (helping in the fields, etc.). By the time he was rescued, he'd given up hope of going home, and had to adjust his worldview all over again. (A Hundred Days)
    • Hand-picked by the Tollans, Nox, and Asgard to go undercover to ferret out the rogue NID who were wandering around the galaxy stealing whatever they wanted. (Shades of Grey)
      • He had to set himself up as corruptable, so arranged to be on Tollana where he could lose his temper and steal some technology, confusing the hell out of the rest of the team. He took one of the devices used in the hallway to disable weaponry. (Shades of Grey)
        • Back on Earth, he admitted to what he'd done (leaving the rest of the team hanging for a while while they sat silently refusing to accuse him, letting Hammond assume they were part of it until Hammond said they could all be court-martialed [technically true only of Sam, but...]), and was clearly angry about the whole situation, arguing with Hammond and insisting that he'd done the right thing, fulfilling their core objective of gaining technology, especially since the Pentagon had refused to approve their & quotbackup program" . He declared that they had no choice but to take whatever steps they needed to get what they needed. (Shades of Grey)
          • He was very convincing, leaving the rest of the team shocked by his sudden break with the principles he'd lived by, but believing that something had happened to push him over the edge into not caring anymore. (Shades of Grey)
          • The shouting match with Hammond at the briefing table got him relieved of his command and ordered to the infirmary for a complete exam, escorted by Teal'c -- who was very clear that he was no longer taking orders from Jack. (Shades of Grey)
          • Later, in front of Teal'c, Hammond told Jack that he had two options: court martial or early retirement. When Jack scoffed that one indiscretion wasn't worth a court martial, Hammond opened his file and added backup counts:
            • Five counts of direct insubordination, to superior officers and a U.S. senator. (Shades of Grey)
            • Two counts of refusing to obey orders. (Shades of Grey)
            • Kidnapping an alien child. (Shades of Grey) (Merrin, from Learning Curve)
          • Jack accepted the retirement, making him a ripe target for the NID to seduce. (Shades of Grey)
        • He told both Sam and Daniel that his behavior over the past three years was unlike him he'd been going against his nature the whole time, and this new him was the real him. (Shades of Grey)
        • Maybourneshowed up the day after he retired to make him an offer Jack kicked him out, but called him a week later to say he wanted in. Maybourne went very dramatic in making sure Jack was sure, saying the operation was & quotsecret" and & quotdangerous" and that once Jack saw what he was taking him to see, his choices would be to go along or disappear. He took Jack up in a jet to 30,000 feet to continue the discussion, to avoid surveillance, and contacted the temporary leader (Newman) of the NID unit he wanted Jack to lead by way of a Goa'uld long-distance communicator the unit was offworld. Jack agreed to join Maybourne's organization, although he made it clear he wasn't happy that it was Maybourne he was joining in with. (Shades of Grey)
        • He went back to the SGC to ask permission to retire offworld (in front of Makepeace), to rejoin Laira on Edora as he'd promised, saying he was bored out of his skull just sitting around at home. When Hammond said he wouldn't be given a GDO or allowed to return home, Jack agreed. (Shades of Grey)
          • As soon as he went through to Edora, he redialed the gate for the planet where & quothis" rogue NID unit was based. His first mission was to steal technology from an Asgard-protected planet afterwards, he arranged to make the drop for the SG mole himself, and then saw Makepeace making the pickup. (Shades of Grey)
          • After SG-1 and Makepeace left, Jack dialed the rogue base and returned Thor beamed in in time to catch the address, and almost as soon as Jack arrived back, the Asgard were beaming up their belongings from the base. Jack promptly opened a wormhole back to Earth, punched out Newman, and told everyone they could stick around and wait for the Asgard to take them, or follow him back to Earth. They followed him, and were arrested. Jack arrested Makepeace personally. (Shades of Grey)
    • After Thor beamed him aboard the Biliskner to help try to stop the Replicators aboard from infesting Earth, Jack used hologram technology to request a lot of firepower: a SPAS-12 (shotgun -- image) a BF-8 (explosive, bomb I can't find a real-world page about it) ten pounds of PBX (plastic bonded explosives -- C-4, effectively) and a USAS (shotgun). (Nemesis)
  • Misc.:
    •  
  Likes/dislikes:
  • Likes fireworks. (A Hundred Days)
  • Skills/abilities:
    • Can paddle a canoe. (A Hundred Days)
    • Knows how to make nails. (A Hundred Days)
• Added to Daniel:
  • Other family:
    •  
    Nick:
    • They'd been estranged for several years, ever since right before Daniel joined the stargate program. They'd had a huge fight over Daniel's theories about aliens, and Nick had kicked him out Daniel had assumed that meant Nick never wanted to see him again. (Crystal Skull)
    • When SG-1 went to get Nick to see if he had any information that could help them retrieve Daniel after he vanished from looking into a crystal skull, Daniel and Nick patched up their differences (which turned out to be pretty minor). (Crystal Skull)
    • Nick went with them back to the planet of the giant ghostly aliens, and wound up staying behind to study them, at Quetzlcoatl's invitation. (Crystal Skull)
  • Ascension and post-descending:
    • Path to ascension:
      • Began on Kheb, when he spent time with the monk learning to accept his own abilities and put his trust in Oma Desala. (Maternal Instinct)
        • The monk told him he had burdens he had to put down before he could go on a journey of oneness, including his hatred of the Goa'uld. (Maternal Instinct)
        • When Daniel tried to light a candle with his mind and couldn't, the monk told him not to believe that he could, but to trust that Oma Desala could. When Daniel went with that, the candle lit. (Maternal Instinct)
        • He also learned to lift objects, like Jack's weapon, and was convinced that staying in the temple with the monk would allow him learn to do incredible things he believed he was being taught because Oma didn't want to give him the child until he knew how to protect him properly. (Maternal Instinct)
        • When he finally spotted Oma and followed her through a wall to the chamber where the child lay, he at first believed that he was meant to take the child. It didn't take long for him to realize that the point of all those exercises was to show him that Oma had done all the work, not him, and that Oma could keep the child safer -- he had to give up Sha're's child to keep him as safe as possible. (Maternal Instinct)
      • Second major step was about a year later, when Shifu, the harsesis child, returned to Abydos and sent for Daniel, then returned to the SGC with SG-1. (Absolute Power)
        • When Daniel tried to talk Shifu into accessing his memories of the Goa'uld to help the SGC defeat them, Shifu put Daniel into a deep dream/vision state. (Absolute Power)
        • In the dream, Daniel had been given all Shifu's knowledge, and began using it to help fight the Goa'uld. But despite his (genuine) good intentions, he also began using it to set himself up as the sole power on the planet, a despot more than willing to murder millions to make a point. (Absolute Power)
        • When he came out of the dream, he understood the dangers of too much power and knowledge, and stopped the Tok'ra from trying to access Shifu's Goa'uld memories. Shifu told him that they'd meet again someday, on the great path. (Absolute Power)
  • Misc.:
    • Definitely began looking for Kheb after Sha're told him that's where the Harsesis was sent in Foothold, SG-1 came back from a planet Daniel had thought might be Kheb because of the ruins there. (Foothold)
    • After looking into the eyes of a crystal skull identical to the one his grandfather, Nick Ballard, had found in Belize in 1971, Daniel was shifted out of phase with the physical world, and spent several days helplessly watching his friends try to figure out what had happened to him. (Crystal Skull)
• Added to Sam:
• Other family:
  •  
  Uncle Irving (Urgo)
• Career:
  •  
  Pioneered the field of wormhole physics. (A Hundred Days)
  • Built her own particle-beam generator to help rescue Jack from Edora she used it to melt some of the naquadah shield covering Edora's stargate, creating a pocket of superheated gas that a new vortex (kawoosh) could open into and dig out an even bigger pocket, big enough for a person (Teal'c) to go through and finish the job by hand. (A Hundred Days)
    • It took her three months to build. (A Hundred Days)
• Misc.:
  • With Daniel recovering from an appendectomy and the rest of SG-1 given leave at the same time, Sam wanted to spend hers examining the decay rate of naquadah inside a reactor, rather than going somewhere to relax. (Nemesis)
• Added to Teal'c:
  • Career:
    • Volunteered to travel alone through the stargate to a small pocket between the buried Edoran stargate and the rock it was buried under, to try to manually dig his way straight up to the surface, in hopes of rescuing Jack. It worked, barely. (A Hundred Days)
  • Confirmed kills:
    • Bedrosiansoldier. (New Ground)
  • Junior:
    • Severely wounded by Teal'c's staff-weapon blast (at close range) when Teal'c killed a Bedrosian soldier. (New Ground)

• Added to SGC:
  • History:
• Timeline:
  • 1999:The Tollans and Asgard approach the SGC independently with proof that the SGC was stealing technology from them. The Tollans, Asgard, and Nox were going to sever all ties with the SGC as a result. Jack goes undercover in the rogue NID to flush out the thieves, breaking up at least one cell and exposing an SGC mole (Makepeace). (Shades of Grey)
  • 1999:Sam's cold dialing program for the stargate dialing computer gets its first hit, serendipitously dialing Bedrosia just as Nyan, a local archaeologist, was uncovering the gate there. (New Ground)
  • 1999: Bra'tac arrives at the SGC bearing Moac, one of his students, badly wounded in Apophis's attack on Chulak. This is the first the SGC knows of Apophis's survival of the destruction of Netu. (Maternal Instinct)
• Cheyenne Mountain Complex:
  • Physical layout:
    • Key areas:
      •  
    Armories:
    • Level 16
  • Levels:
    • Level 16:
      • Armory in room 16G8-27. (Foothold)
    • Level 21:
      • Recovery rooms:
        • 21M7-16 (Daniel's recovery room after his appendectomy). (Nemesis)
    • Level 23:
      • Room 23F2-12: the room where the Foothold aliens set up their mimic equipment, and where they hung up the various people they'd copied. (Foothold)
      • Definitely no armory on this level Jack sent Major Davis back to Level 23 after they'd hit an armory. (Foothold)
• Weapons and tactics:
  • Standard recon mission includes a mineral and biological survey. (Urgo)
  • Weapons on base:
    • SPAS-12 (shotgun -- image) (Nemesis)
    • BF-8 (explosive, bomb I can't find a real-world page about it) (Nemesis)
    • PBX (plastic bonded explosives -- C-4, effectively) (Nemesis)
    • USAS (shotgun) (Nemesis)
• Technology:
  • Other alien:
    • & quotRifles"
      • Two of the " rifles" from Bedrosia (carried back by Sam and Teal'c). (New Ground)
• Added to SGC Personnel:
  • Sergeant Alberts:
    • One of the gate technicians. He dialed up P4X-884 to send a third MALP through so the SGC could communicate with Urgo's creator, and ask to have him removed from SG-1. (Urgo)
  • Fraiser:
    • Travelled offworld:
      • (Was set to go offworld with the rescue mission to Edora, but the mission was scrubbed. (A Hundred Days))
    • Career:
      • She was a captain in the pilot, and through much of third season. As of Foothold, she was definitely still a captain. By Crystal Skull, she'd been promoted to major (she was wearing oak leaves).
  • Hammond:
    • Career:
      • When the Biliskner began its descent into Earth's atmosphere, with no indication whether SG-1 had succeeded or if the Replicators were about to overrun the planet, Hammond made a phone call and recommended that the US move to Defcon 2, and that all available assets be moved to intercept and destroy it if need be. (Nemesis)
      • Interaction with/about SG-1
        • Had to officially declare Jack missing in action for a second time, when attempts to retrieve him from Edora failed because the Edoran stargate was buried. (A Hundred Days)
        • As part of creating Jack's cover to find and neutralize the rogue NID cell(s) stealing technology from their allies, Hammond tells Jack (in front of Teal'c) that he has two options: early retirement, or court martial for stealing technology from an ally. To back up the court martial charge, he reeled off a list of other offenses in Jack's file, including multiple counts of insubordination, refusing to obey orders, and kidnapping an alien child (Merrin). (Shades of Grey)
          • When Jack returned to the SGC a week or so after retiring asking for permission to retire off-world (in front of Makepeace), Hammond agreed, as long as Jack understood that he wouldn't be given a GDO, and would never be able to return to Earth. (Shades of Grey)
  • Langford:
    • One of the people who got mimicked by the Foothold aliens. He was copied pretty far into the invasion Sam and Maybourne had already discovered the aliens mimicking Jack, Daniel, and Davis by then. (Foothold)
  • Makepeace:
    • After Jack, he was the most senior field officer under Hammond's command. (Shades of Grey)
    • Unbeknownst to anyone else at the SGC, he was working as a mole for Maybourne's rogue NID operation, carrying small pieces of technology back with him for the rogue NID to study when he got the chance and passing along information about missions. (Shades of Grey)
    • When Jack apparently went rogue, Makepeace was given command of SG-1 because he was the most senior officer, and thus was the appropriate choice for command of the flagship team. (Shades of Grey)
      • After his first week in command of SG-1, he made a progress report to Hammond, saying Carter had accepted him, but Dr. Jackson and & quotthe Jaffa " hadn't. (Shades of Grey)
        • personal note: & quotthe Jaffa" is startling at this point Makepeace had known and worked with/around Teal'c for nearly three full years (SG-1 and SG-3 were on missions together by the fourth episode of the series), and he should have been much more comfortable with Teal'c than he appeared to be. It's a pretty good sign of some strong human-only prejudices on Makepeace's part, IMO.
      • He was in command of SG-1 for just over a week, possibly 8 days. (Shades of Grey)
      • When the rogue NID members came through the stargate to Earth, Makepeace grabbed some restraints and took Newman, muttering some reassurances to him before Jack took restraints and arrested Makepeace in turn. (Shades of Grey)
      • He warned Jack and the others that they'd made a mistake, because the NID went higher than they could imagine. Jack and the others weren't impressed. (Shades of Grey)
  • Dr. Robert Rothman:
    • Spoke at least some Mayan. (Crystal Skull)
  • Sergeant Shandler:
    • The SF on duty outside the isolation quarters on level 22 when all of SG-1 was put in quarantine after an electronic object (which later turned out to be Urgo) was found in all of their brains. (Urgo)
  • Sergeant A. Wilson
    • One of the people who got mimicked by the Foothold aliens. They used his ID and code to dial out when they evacuated. (Foothold)
• Added to SG Units:
  • SG-1:
    • Traveled to Tollana as a formal diplomatic delegation (full dress blues for Jack and Sam, suits for Daniel and Teal'c) to establish formal diplomatic relations between Tollana and Earth. Although this was basically a cover story for Jack, it was still a valid diplomatic trip. (Shades of Grey)
      • The rest of the team refused to tell Hammond what happened, and after Jack admitted he'd done it, refused to say they hadn't helped he left them hanging for a while until Hammond said they could all be court-martialed (not technically true, but Hammond was playing the aghast commander here), when Jack finally admitted that he'd acted alone, and the others had objected. (Shades of Grey)
      • According to Makepeace's progress report to Hammond a week into his taking command of SG-1, Carter had accepted him with no problems, but Dr. Jackson and & quotthe Jaffa " hadn't. (Shades of Grey)
      • Makepeace was in command just barely over a week before he was arrested (by Jack) for treason. (Shades of Grey)
    • When Jack, Sam, and Daniel were captive on Bedrosia, they all steadfastly refused to admit that there was a fourth member of the team, keeping Teal'c safe.
      • When they escaped Bedrosia, the team was forced to leave behind almost all their gear all they managed to rescue was Teal'c's GDO and two zats. (New Ground) They left :
        • Naquadah reactor and the wires needed to hook it to a stargate
        • MALP (the electrics are probably fried, since it was zatted)
        • Staff weapon
        • Three radios
        • Six grenades
        • At least two pistols, fully loaded
        • Two M5s, with six clips (nb: I don't know guns, and I can't swear that it was an M5 at that point all I'm sure of is that it isn't a P-90. If someone knows differently, by all means, let me know and I'll change it.)
        • Three compasses
        • Three watches
        • Three GDOs
        • Three knives
        • Three vests
        • various field ration
        • two notebooks, probably Daniel's no idea if they'd been written in yet
        • Teal'c's personal gear, left in the cave where Nyan treated his blindness
    • GDO/IDC codes:
      • 135GAMMA recognized as SG-1, input by Teal'c on Bedrosia. (New Ground)
    • SG-1 defies orders/goes AWOL:
      • On Tollana for Skaara/Klorel's triad, Teal'c, under orders to stand down and leave Zipacna's people alone (and let the Tollans handle any Goa'uld incursion themselves), goes to Lya and deliberately disguises an ion cannon that he can later use against the Goa'uld when they attack. (Pretense)
    • SG-1 assaults its own members:
      • Prodigy
        • Teal'c zats Jack to protect him from the little energy beings. (Not strictly an assault, since Jack asked him to do it, but what the hey.)
      • Shooting at teammates:
        • Teal'c:
          • Prodigy-- zats Jack to protect him from the little energy beings.
  • SG-9: (...)
    • At some point, they were on PX3-595 trying to negotiate to get an Asgard device that rendered the wearer invisible, but failed. (Shades of Grey)
• Added to Politics:
• U.S. president:
  • Seasons 1-7:
    • With the Biliskner in Earth's orbit infested with Replicators and possibly about to land, and no word from SG-1 about what was going on, the president went to Defcon 3, and decided that if the ship landed, he would tell the rest of the world what they were facing. (Nemesis)
• Offworld alliances:
• As a cover story to set up Jack's cover with the rogue NID, the government sent SG-1 to open formal diplomatic relations with the Tollans, in order to negotiate a trade for technology. (Shades of Grey)
• To all appearances, this still counted as the beginning of formal diplomatic relations, rather than the more informal relations that had existed before. (Shades of Grey)
• Added to Military:
  • Pentagon:
    •  
    Maybourne:
    • Had the grace to give the credit to Sam at the end of Foothold.
    • Rogue NID:
      • At some point during the second or third season, he took an active role in the doings of the rogue NID organization set up to acquire alien technology at any cost. It's unclear if he was part of it from his first appearance or if he joined up later.
      • He controlled the movements of the units under his command they weren't allowed to use the stargate on their base without his permission/direction. (Shades of Grey)
        • When they & quotacquired" tech small enough to be smuggled back to Earth in someone's kit, he gave the NID unit the time and location of his SG mole's next offworld mission, so they could get there ahead of time, make the drop, and get out. (Shades of Grey)
      • He found out about Jack's retirement and the reasons for it pretty much immediately, and showed up on Jack's doorstep the next day to make him an offer, clearly believing that Jack was completely sincere in his change of heart about the SGC's ethical policies. Jack kicked him out, but Maybourne left a card, and Jack called a week later to say he wanted in. (Shades of Grey)
      • Maybourne went very dramatic in making sure Jack was sure, saying the operation was & quotsecret" and & quotdangerous" and that once Jack saw what he was taking him to see, his choices would be to go along or disappear. (Shades of Grey)
        • He took Jack up in a jet to 30,000 feet to continue the discussion, to avoid surveillance, and contacted the temporary leader (Newman) of the NID unit he wanted Jack to lead by way of a Goa'uld long-distance communicator the unit was offworld. (Shades of Grey)
      • Once Jack accepted, Maybourne gave him his first mission almost as soon as he'd arrived at the NID base: stealing Asgard tech from an Asgard-protected world. (Shades of Grey)
      • He was presumably captured and imprisoned after Jack exposed the rogue NID cell, but this was never shown. He later appeared in Russia helping with a clandestine Russian stargate program, after some & quotfriends" facilitated his escape from custody. (Watergate)
• Added to NID:
  • Rogue NID:
    • Women were definitely as much a part of it as men the unit Jack took over had at least three women on it. (Shades of Grey)
    • Major Newman:
      • He was the temporary leader of the rogue NID unit that Jack was intended to command. (Shades of Grey)
      • When Maybourne introduced him to Jack (via long-range communicator), Newman apologized for returning fire in the hangar when he and his team were escaping through the second stargate, and said it would be an honor to serve under Jack he'd read nearly all the SG-1 mission reports. (Shades of Grey)
      • He was the first to greet Jack when he came through to the rogue NID unit's base. (Shades of Grey)
      • When Jack reactivated the stargate after his first mission, Newman tried to stop him, and got punched in the face for his troubles. (Shades of Grey)
      • He was the last to follow Jack through the stargate to avoid the Asgard, and got arrested like the rest of them. Makepeace was the one who grabbed him, and muttered a few reassurances before Makepeace was himself arrested. (Shades of Grey)
    • Lieutenant Clare Tobias:
      • She had been up for a position at the SGC, but Sam beat her out of it. (Shades of Grey)
      • Her job was to examine the larger pieces of technology that the unit & quotacquired" , those too big to be sent back to Earth, and attempt to backwards-engineer them to send the plans for them back to Maybourne. (Shades of Grey)
      • One of the pieces she was working on was an anti-gravitation device, probably Goa'uld from the look of it (mostly triangular, with two bunches of crystals, one at the top and one the bottom, both a mix of red, yellow, and orange -- it looked almost like two fires). (Shades of Grey)
• Added to Misc. Tau'ri:
• Nick Ballard:
  • (discovering the first crystal skull)
    • When he looked into the eyes of the skull in the temple in Belize, a field of energy surrounded him. He found himself in an enormous cavern, so big that the light from his flashlight couldn't reach the bottom. There was an identical skull on a pedestal, with no writing on it. Giant aliens, appearing to be made of mist, rose up and flew around him like specters. They spoke in Mayan: & quotThe enemy of my enemy is my friend" . Nick was afraid to answer he closed his eyes, and suddenly found himself back in the temple in Belize, which was in the process of collapsing. He grabbed the skull and fled. (Crystal Skull)
    • No one could explain how the skull he'd found could have been carved from a single piece of crystal, against the grain, given the technology of the day. (Crystal Skull)
    • He'd gone on the most incredible journey of his life, and no one believed him. (Crystal Skull)
  • In 1999, Daniel was trapped out-of-phase from looking into a crystal skull, and the rest of SG-1 went to ask Nick for help. In return, he demanded access to the skull they'd found. Possibly due to his experience with the skull, he could see the out-of-phase Daniel, and the two reconciled.
    • Nick's mental breakdown was real he suffered hallucinations, enough so that when the out-of-phase Daniel appeared and spoke to him, and no one else could see or hear him, Nick didn't even blink. (Crystal Skull)
  • Even though he thought Daniel was another hallucination, he took the opportunity to apologize for not adopting him when his parents died, and for allowing his obsession to drive him to madness, and asked for Daniel's forgiveness. (Crystal Skull)
  • When Daniel convinced him he was real, Nick willingly agreed to help him convince the others to go back to the planet. Then took advantage of the situation to include himself, telling Jack that Daniel had said Nick should go along, even though Daniel never said any such thing. (Crystal Skull)
  • The cavern was exactly as he remembered it, as was the giant alien. Quetzelcoatl invited Nick to remain to exchange knowledge and culture with the aliens Daniel was reluctant to lose his grandfather again so soon, but Nick pointed out that this had been his life's work, and that he'd wanted another chance at it for 29 years. He told Daniel he was proud of him, and stayed. (Crystal Skull)
• Burke:
  • Burke shot Chalo with an M203 grenade launcher attached to his M4. (Evolution, part 2)
    • (I never would have gotten this on my own -- my thanks to the fan who clued me in!)
• Jeff Eisen:
  • A friend of Charlie O'Neill's. He gave Charlie a water pistol one day a couple of weeks before Charlie accidentally shot himself with Jack's gun. (nb: This is from a narcotic-induced hallucination being manipulated by Apophis it's impossible to be 100% certain that all the events/exposition were genuine, although it's highly likely). (The Devil You Know)
• Dr. Harvey:
  • One of the doctors at the psychiatric institute where Nick Ballard was living. (Crystal Skull)
• Dr. Nelson:
  • One of the doctors at the psychiatric institute where Nick Ballard was living. (Crystal Skull)
• Charlie O'Neill:
  • Jeff Eisen was a friend of his who gave him a water pistol one day. Jack got mad at Charlie for playing with a gun two weeks later, Charlie shot himself with Jack's gun. (nb: This is from a narcotic-induced hallucination being manipulated by Apophis it's impossible to be 100% certain that all the events/exposition were genuine, although it's highly likely). (The Devil You Know)
• Added to Goa'uld:
• System Lords:
  • Apophis:
    • From the day he was sent to Netu, he planned to escape and conquer the galaxy. He took the name Na'onak and became First Prime to Bynarr his face, badly scarred, was hidden by a mask the entire time. (Jolinar's Memories)
    • He planned to convince Sokar to make him the lord of Netu (in Bynarr's place), then when Sokar approached to brand him with his seal, Apophis planned to kill him with a large blade hidden up his armguard. (The Devil You Know)
    • When he spotted SG-1 on Netu, he saw a perfect chance to put his plan into action. He gave up the name Na'onak and reclaimed his own name after killing Bynarr and conquering the rest of Netu (which seemed to consist of letting the denizens riot for a bit, and grabbing Bynarr's hand device). He revealed himself as Apophis when his men had captured Martouf, Jacob, and SG-1 in Bynarr's quarters, trying to escape. (Jolinar's Memories)
      • He locked them up again, waiting to trade them (or better yet, the information they knew about the Tau'ri and Tok'ra) to Sokar for his freedom. (The Devil You Know)
      • He tortured them all (smacking them around, then pouring the Blood of Sokar down their throats and attaching a Tok'ra memory device, and manipulating their memories to try to trick/force them into giving up vital information). (The Devil You Know)
        • He tried to get information about the iris codes out of Sam the locations of the Asgard homeworld and the Place Of Our Legacy out of Jack the Tok'ra base from Martouf and the location of the Harsesis child from Daniel. He failed fairly spectacularly on all fronts, although he briefly believed that he'd gotten a base name out of Martouf. (The Devil You Know)
      • After killing Bynarr, he chose Kintac as his First Prime on Netu. (The Devil You Know)
      • In a speech to Netu's denizens after he killed Bynarr, Apophis said this was the first step on his path to total galactic domination (not quite in those words, but that was the gist). He said he would deliver the denizens from Hell. Three hundred chose to follow him Kintac had the rest banished to the surface until they changed their minds (or died). (The Devil You Know)
      • When Sokar contacted Netu to find out why Bynarr hadn't reported as ordered, Apophis declared himself the only worthy contender for & quotLord of the Underworld" , saying he'd killed Bynarr, who was too weak to serve such a superior Goa'uld as Sokar. He laid on a bit more flattery, then begged an audience aboard Sokar's ship to bow at Sokar's feet in service. He offered to give the information he'd gotten from torturing SG-1 and Martouf (which wasn't very much, actually) to prove his fealty. (The Devil You Know)
      • He ringed up to Sokar's ship when Sokar agreed to the audience, sucking up some more. When Sokar demanded information, Apophis said that the Tok'ra base was on Entac -- as Martouf had told him under torture. Sokar had recently conquered the world, and knew it held no Tok'ra. He ordered his Jaffa to kill Apophis -- slowly. The Jaffa set to right there, using a torture stick on Apophis several times, much to Sokar's pleased amusement. (The Devil You Know)
      • After Apophis had literally fallen over from the stress of the torture stick, another Jaffa burst in, saying Netu's core had gone unstable and was about to explode. Apophis used the distraction to pop his hidden blade and attack his torturer when he fell, Apophis turned the blade on the newcomer, slashing him. He grabbed the second Jaffa's staff weapon and shot at Sokar before Sokar could blast him with a hand device Sokar's personal shield protected him, but it provided enough of a distraction that Apophis could escape out the door. (The Devil You Know)
      • He managed to get to a ring transporter and ring himself to Delmak, where he proceeded to take over Sokar's armies. (The Devil You Know)
    • Either after or at the same time as attacking Chulak, he sent a group of eight Jaffa to Kheb to recover the harsesis child. (Maternal Instinct)
      • Once on the planet, six Jaffa hung back while two went ahead to get the priestess who was guarding the child. (Maternal Instinct)
      • When she saw the other Jaffa on the way back to the stargate, she tried to flee they shot her in the lower back, killing her. (Maternal Instinct)
      • After she was dead, Oma Desala fried them all to a crisp. (Maternal Instinct)
      • When his Jaffa didn't return, Apophis sent a mothership. As many as 2,000 Jaffa from his new army moved on the temple where SG-1 and Bra'tac were trying to find the child. (Maternal Instinct)
      • He lost all of his the Jaffa on the planet when Oma Desala lashed out at them. (Maternal Instinct)
  • Sokar:
    • When his Jaffa spotted a ship over Netu, Sokar assumed Goa'uld spies, and sped up his timetable a bit. Within two days, his fleet was prepared to start conquering the galaxy, fully expecting that when he was done, all Goa'uld would bow to him. (The Devil You Know)
      • He began by traveling to Netu to punish Bynarr for not reporting as ordered. When he discovered that Apophis had killed Bynarr and was angling for his (Bynarr's) job as lord of Netu, Sokar granted Apophis an audience on his ship to swear his loyalty. Once there, and after Sokar had started to get impatient with him, Apophis offered up the information that the Tok'ra base was on Entac -- a world Sokar had recently conquered, and which he knew held no Tok'ra. He ordered Apophis killed, slowly. The Jaffa set to right there, using a torture stick on Apophis several times, much to Sokar's pleased amusement. (The Devil You Know)
      • When a Jaffa interrupted to tell him that Netu was on the verge of exploding because its core had gone unstable, Sokar was absolutely enraged, to the point of roaring in anger. The anger was that Netu would do something he hadn't commanded, not that he'd been interrupted. (The Devil You Know)
      • Apophis chose that moment to make a break for it by attacking the two Jaffa near him and shooting a snatched-up staff weapon at Sokar Sokar didn't manage to get off a hand-device blast at him, but his personal shield absorbed the staff blast. In the end, that was pointless, though Sokar was still on the ship when Netu exploded, destroying the ship as well. (The Devil You Know)
• Minor Goa'uld:
• Nefertum:
  • May be dead Teal'c spoke of him in the past tense. (New Ground)
• Sekhmet:
  • Mother of Nefertum. (New Ground)
• Zipacna:
  • He argued that since humans freely use and kill animals because humans are superior beings with the right to do so, then Goa'uld have the right to use and kill humans because Goa'uld are superior beings. (Pretense)
  • When the triad was over (with Skaara winning control of the body), Zipacna contacted his ha'tak, which had been approaching, and told it to attack. Teal'c knocked the communication device out of his hand Jack punched him in the jaw (he shook it right off), and then Teal'c throttled him until he collapsed. It didn't kill him, just knocked him out for a moment he escaped through the stargate. (Pretense)
• Added to Goa'uld language:
• kla mel kalak:
  • What Bra'tac said to a dying, scared Moac. (Maternal Instinct)
• rel tora ke :
  • alternative spelling for & quotral tora ke" , good luck (A Hundred Days)
• tal pak ryd:
  • Jaffa term for & quotfalling star" (dvd subtitle) (A Hundred Days)
• Added to Tok'ra:
  • Known Tok'ra:
    • Aldwin:
      • He badly misinterpreted Teal'c's reasoning for leaving Netu and returning to the Tok'ra with the recording of Apophis threatening him Aldwin assumed that Teal'c's overriding concern was to pass along the information of Sokar's upcoming attack on the System Lords, saying that it could prove invaluable. Teal'c had really come back looking for help in mounting a rescue of & quotmy friends and your fellow Tok'ra" . (The Devil You Know)
      • He agreed with Teal'c that if there were time when they arrived, it would be possible to still attempt a rescue, but added that if Sokar's ship was in orbit, they would have to launch the weapon he said this was war, and they didn't dare risk Sokar rising to dominance among the Goa'uld, even if it cost their friends' lives. (The Devil You Know)
        • When they got there, Sokar was in orbit, and Aldwin launched the weapon even though Sam had just contacted them (he had to pull a zat on Teal'c to do it). When Teal'c said there was still time to help the others escape, Aldwin said it would be suicide, and that they should leave immediately. (The Devil You Know)
        • Teal'c disarmed him and put him in a cargo hold, locking him in. Aldwin was relatively helpful once he realized that aiding the escape was the only option Teal'c was going to allow, shouting instructions from behind the locked door about how to properly intercept the ring-transporter matter stream so as not to miss any of it, since the slightest error would kill those transporting out. (The Devil You Know)
    • Martouf:
      • He was captured along with Sam, Jack, and Daniel by Bynarr on Netu later, when they had found Jacob and were trying to escape, Apophis recaptured them.
        • Martouf was tortured like the others, forced to swallow the Blood of Sokar and have a memory device implanted, to relive memories that would cause him to give up vital information about the Tok'ra to Apophis. Eventually, Apophis brought Sam in, hypnotically suggesting to Martouf that she was Jolinar, and threatened to kill her. Under that threat, Martouf appeared to crack, giving up the Tok'ra base on Entac. Entac was a primitive planet with no Tok'ra, though -- he lied. He also knew Sam wasn't Jolinar. (The Devil You Know)
  • Technology:
    • Communicators: Designed to work from within Tok'ra tunnels, so capable of penetrating a lot of rock. The signals are coded for safety. (The Devil You Know Homecoming)
• Added to Jaffa:
  • Culture:
    • Chulak:
      • Apophis attacked it and massacred a lot of Jaffa in his search for the harsesis child (Shifu). Bra'tac had never seen a Goa'uld turn on his own Jaffa like that before. (Maternal Instinct)
    • Religious culture:
      •  
      Funerals:
      • In support of the & quottraditional" idea [of funeral pyres], when Moac died, Bra'tac wanted his body to be burned. (Maternal Instinct)
  • Known Jaffa:
    • Bra'tac:(rearranged his listing a bit, to separate it into sections)
      • He was raised to be a rebel, pretty much. His father used to tell him the forbidden tale of Kheb, saying & quotIf the Goa'uld are truly all-powerful gods, how is it that they fear anything?" (Maternal Instinct)
      • Fought against Apophis during the destruction of Chulak Moac, his newest apprentice, died from injuries received during the battle. (Maternal Instinct)
        • He brought Moac to the SGC, both in search of healing and to bring the word that Apophis was alive and had turned on his own Jaffa, massacring much of Chulak. He was flummoxed by the ferocity of the attack Apophis could have destroyed Chulak from space, but instead his army swept through personally, as though searching for something. Daniel figured out that he was looking for the harsesis, hidden on Kheb. (Maternal Instinct)
        • Bra'tac was surprised he'd thought Kheb no more than a legend. Jaffa were forbidden to speak of it because the Goa'uld despised and feared it, but his father had told him tales of how some Jaffa had discovered it long ago and kept it secret from the Goa'uld. When a Jaffa could no longer carry a prim'ta, he would travel to Kheb where his kalach (soul) would learn the pathway from the darkness into the next life. When some of the Goa'uld found out about it, they went there but never returned. It was forbidden to speak of it after that. (Maternal Instinct)
        • According to the story Bra'tac knew, Kheb was an untouched wilderness surrounded by mountains, and a single valley with a temple some distance from the stargate. Daniel assumed that if the Goa'uld were scared of it, they would have avoided mining it as they did the rest of the planets in that group (the Loc'na ko). (Maternal Instinct)
        • When SG-1 and SG-2 headed for Kheb to find the harsesis, Bra'tac went with them. (Maternal Instinct)
• Added to Replicators:
• Their odds of surviving in a new environment depend on numbers. (Nemesis)
• Attracted to the high-energy output of the Asgard transport beam, and if on an Asgard ship, are drawn toward the spot where something/someone gets beamed in. (Nemesis)
• The first thing the Replicators do on an Asgard ship is disable the sensors capable of detecting them. (Nemesis)
• During a battle, they infested the Biliskner and began taking it over, despite Thor's best efforts. When they got into the computer, they found out about Earth, and headed the ship for it. (Nemesis)
  • On the Biliskner over Earth, the Replicators were going to ingest as much of the ship as possible without risking the hull's integrity, then land and go in search of more resources, according to Thor. (Nemesis)
• Added to Tollans :
  • Culture:
    • The highest governing body is the Curia. (Pretense)
    • Guests, at least guests for triad, were housed in spacious quarters, identified by a hanging banner denoting the guest's origin.
      • Skaara/Klorelhad a double banner: the top half was red, with a gold serpent symbol on it, for Klorel the bottom half was a golden-yellow, with the symbol for Abydos (an inverted V with three circles around the top). (Pretense)
      • SG-1 had a blue banner with a silver Earth symbol (inverted V with one circle at the top). (Pretense)
      • Lyahad a dark buff-colored banner, with a purple fenri in the middle of it. (Pretense)
    • & quotprime directive" :
      • When SG-1 traveled to Tollana to open formal diplomatic relations between the two worlds, the Tollans were happy to agree, especially since the Tau'ri had saved them from the Goa'uld (in Pretense). When Daniel asked to trade for technology, however -- specifically weapons technology -- the Tollans refused, saying that the reasons behind their laws against giving technology to less advanced species were still relevant in this case. (Shades of Grey)
    • Laws/security/crime:
      • It was permissible for a seeker to choose more than one archon to argue for him, but they would have only one vote between them. (Pretense)
      • Triad was held as a closed session. (Pretense)
      • There is no death penalty in Tollan law. (Pretense)
  • Known Tollans:
    • Narim:
      • He was sent to the SGC to request SG-1's help with Skaara's triad he sent Schroedinger through the iris first so they'd know a friend was coming. (Pretense)
        • He vaguely explained what a triad was (& quotan ancient ceremony of justice" ), but with no details. He focused more on the fact that Skaara had requested that SG-1 be there. (Pretense)
        • He functioned as SG-1's liaison during their stay on Tollana, escorting them to the Curia chambers to meet Travell and then to Skaara's quarters to see him. He didn't bother warning them that their guns would be disabled because he didn't find it relevant. When Jack seemed upset, he said they could carry the useless weapons if it would make them feel better. (Pretense)
        • He was very upset to hear that Sam and Teal'c had been undiplomatic enough to follow Zipacna's Jaffa around, and upset and offended when Sam told him that she thought the Jaffa had been meddling with the Tollans' ion cannons, insisting that they were too well protected. When Sam insisted that she was right, he gave in and went to Travell with the information to do a formal investigation of the charge (by physically checking the cannon Sam was talking about). (Pretense)
        • He interrupted the triad to bring news of Zipacna's mothership approaching the planet. (Pretense)
    • Travell:
      • Incredibly smugly arrogant about Tollan superiority to both Tau'ri and Goa'uld technology, blindly convinced that there was no way Zipacna could be planning to destroy Tollana's ion cannons because it was impossible to do so, even when faced with very reasonable explanations of how he could be doing just that. Instead, she thought that Jack and the others were trying to influence the triad's outcome, and threatened to boot them off the triad as Skaara's archons if they said another word about it. (Pretense)
      • Her position appeared to be that of ruler/monarch as much as leader she told Teal'c that if he were one of her subjects (not people), she would have to discipline him for disregarding her warnings. (Pretense)
      • Traveled to Earth herself (with another member of the High Council) to demand the return of the device Jack stole, and to tell Hammond that she was severing all diplomatic ties with Earth. (Shades of Grey)
  • Technology:
    • Ion cannons:
      • Made of an impenetrable alloy and protected by security codes. (Pretense)
      • The system was set up so that if one cannon was attacked, the others would instantly locate and destroy the attacker. (Pretense)
    • Ships
      • Unknown design, but capable of interstellar flight. (Enigma, A Hundred Days, Between Two Fires)
      • When Daniel contacted the Tollans about possibly going to rescue Jack from Edora by ship, the Tollans said they could have a ship in the vicinity & quotearly next year" (at a rough guess looking at the timeline, probably 6-9 months). (A Hundred Days)
• Ascendants:
  • Culture:
    • Known Ascendants:
      • Oma Desala:
• Kheb is the name for both the planet and the temple on the planet. (Maternal Instinct)
  • It was an unspoiled wilderness surrounded by mountains, with a temple in a valley some distance from the stargate (several miles through forest, by the look of it). (Maternal Instinct)
  • The temple itself was very Eastern-feeling in design, with what seemed to be an Eastern monk as its caretaker. He spoke almost entirely in Zen koans. (Maternal Instinct)
  • The walls of the temple were covered in instructions on how to reach what Daniel called & quotan ethereal plane of existence" -- ascendance. (Maternal Instinct)
• When Apophis's Jaffa arrived and demanded the child, the monk refused, and was fatally shot. He ascended, his body vanishing, right after Oma took out all the Jaffa in the vicinity. (Maternal Instinct)
• Added to Asgard:
  • Known Asgard:
• Thor:
  • Under his command, the Biliskner went into battle against the Replicators, but was infested by them. They got into the computer and found information about Earth, and plotted a course for it. Thor transported the crew off and then destroyed the outbound transporters to prevent the Replicators from just beaming down to Earth, and stayed aboard in hopes of stopping them altogether before they could reach Earth. (Nemesis)
    • Instead, he wound up badly injured or ill (it's not clear which) from trying to fight the Replicators, and didn't dare use the medical facilities to heal himself. (Nemesis)
    • He created instructional recordings just in case he didn't make it. (Nemesis)
    • When they arrived in Earth's orbit despite his best efforts, he beamed up Jack to help destroy them if possible -- trapping him aboard. (Nemesis)
    • While SG-1 figured out what to do, Thor's condition worsened, until Sam was forced to seal him in his stasis pod. They took the pod with them when they gated off the ship just before it was destroyed. (Nemesis)
    • The other Asgard came and got Thor (still in his pod) almost immediately when they arrived on the planet. (Small Victories)
• Technology:
  • Anti-gravity:
    • Thor's recovery/stasis pod was equipped with anti-grav, making it very easy to move. (Nemesis)
  • Ships:
    • The Biliskner (and presumably other Asgard ships) was incapable of surviving an uncontrolled entry into an atmosphere the heat of the friction would cause the ship to burn up. (Nemesis)
    • Airlocks:
      • Controlled by a three-button panel. The top button opens the inner door, the middle button (de)pressurizes the airlock, and the bottom button opens the outer door. (Nemesis)
• Added to Nox:
  • When Daniel and Omoc sent a message requesting help for the Tollans, the Nox (in the person of Lya) came to the SGC to invite the Tollans to go to the Nox homeworld. (Enigma)
    • Between them, the Nox and the Tollans figured out a way to get the stranded Tollans to their new homeworld of Tollana, which at the time didn't have a stargate. (Pretense)
  • When other races began suspecting the SGC of stealing technology, the Nox added their voice to the threat to break off all diplomatic relations (although no formal diplomatic relations existed). Like the others, they changed their mind after Jack flushed out the rogue NID. (Shades of Grey)
• Added to Misc. Aliens:
  • & quotFoothold" aliens:
    • (nb: I've never heard a name for these aliens, so this is the best I can do to keep them readily identifiable. My apologies.)
    • Planet: unknown.
    • They first arrived at the SGC disguised as SG-6, who had been assigned to P3X-118. (Foothold)
    • They were in search of a new home world. The plan was to physically mimic (by means of technology) the locals, set up a power base, adn take over. (Foothold)
    • Their blood was thick and purple. (Foothold)
    • They're possibly not native to this galaxy when & quotFraiser" is explaining why Sam is resistant, she says that it's because Sam's body chemistry has been altered by the & quotdominant parasitical species of this galaxy" , and she can't compensate for that yet. (Foothold)
    • To lull incoming teams into going straight to the infirmary and bypassing level 23 (where the aliens were set up to copy them), the aliens made up a chemical spill (tetrachloroethylene) and put one of their disguised fellows in the elevator to & quotescort" people up to the infirmary. (Foothold)
    • They were set up in room 23F3-12. (Foothold)
    • They don't seem to have mimicked everyone on the base at least one of the SFs Teal'c knocked out bled red, not purple. (Foothold)
    • Mimic procedure:
      • A body is run through a machine of some sort and mapped, then hung up safely out of the way. (Foothold)
        • There's a band running across the forehead, presumably to keep a stream of info running into the mental half of the mimic device. (Foothold)
        • The face is bent downward, breathing into the hard harness securing the chest no idea why. (Foothold)
      • The actual mimic device comes in two parts:
        • The first part, a disk-shaped piece, gets planted on the skin somewhere (the chest was most common, but the hand, and therefore presumably anything else, worked equally well), creating a complete physical illusion of the original person. (Foothold
        • The second part, more of a teardrop, gets planted on the temple (or thereabouts), and provides access to the original's thoughts and memories, completing the illusion by allowing for correct mannerisms, speech patterns, and memories. (Foothold)
    • When Sam transmitted the sound that interfered with the illusion, exposing the aliens for what they were, and Maybourne and his men moved in, the aliens cut their losses and ran, starting an evacuation. (Foothold)
      • Several aliens escaped during the evacuation (at least a dozen, and probably a lot more than that). (Foothold)
      • Dozens more were left behind. The leader set off a self-destruct in the gateroom, where most of them were the rest of those on base died at the same time, presumably somehow linked to the leader. Maybourne suggested the possiblity that those that escaped died as well. (Foothold)

      Known & quotFoothold" aliens:

      • None.

   

  • Giant Mayan Ghosts :
  • (Terrible name for them, but the best I can do with what they gave us.)
  • Planet: P7X-377
  • The atmosphere was breathable: 80% nitrogen, 19% oxygen, 0.3% CO2, and 0.7% other, with no toxins. (Crystal Skull)
  • The stargate was located at the end of a long, high road leading directly to a huge pyramid, well over 1,000 meters high (3,281 feet, or 328 stories), and Mayan in origin. (Crystal Skull)
    • When SG-1 arrived, Daniel noted that you could fit every pyramid on Earth inside this pyramid, with room to spare. (Crystal Skull)
  • On the initial recon, the MALP found leptons, proof that something inside the pyramid was slowing down neutrinos. When SG-1 arrived, Sam noted muon radiation as well. (Crystal Skull)
  • The pyramid also contained a crystal skull on a plain stone pedestal, in turn atop a small dais, reached by crossing a narrow stone span after entering the pyramid. The skull exactly matched the crystal skull that Nick Ballard had found in Belize in 1971. (Crystal Skull)
  • Nickhad been transported to this same cavern back in 1971, but no one ever believed him, and eventually he began saying it hadn't really happened. (Crystal Skull)
  • The skull emitted an energy field that dangerously raised the muon radiation levels in the cavern, but if left to complete the process, the energy field shifted humans to a phase where they could interact with the giant ghostly aliens that inhabited the pyramid, aliens who were apparently Mayan gods on Earth. (Crystal Skull)
  • The energy field wouldn't work on anyone carrying a Goa'uld, since the giant aliens considered the Goa'uld their enemy. (Crystal Skull)

  Known Giant Mayan Ghosts:

  • Quetzelcoatl
    • (nb: the credits have this as Quetzlelcoatl, which is one & quotl" too many the name would be completely different spelled like that. So I'm taking that & quotl" out.)
    • The alien who appeared to SG-1 and Nick Ballard when they let the skull's energy field shift them completely out of phase. (Crystal Skull)
    • When he appeared, Jack and Sam ran backwards a few paces to safety Nick stayed where he was, already near the edge of the platform, and Daniel moved forward. (Crystal Skull)
    • Daniel offered an exchange of knowledge and culture, saying that they were enemies of the Goa'uld and had come in search of friendship. (Crystal Skull)
    • Quetzelcoatl accepted the proposition, and invited Nick to remain he remembered him from 1971. Nick agreed. (Crystal Skull)

• Added to Misc. Humans:
  • Abydonians
    •  
    Skaara:
  • Specifically requested that SG-1 be brought to his triad to help him. (Pretense)
  • Bedrosians:
    • Planet: P2X-416
    • The planet is split into two continents: Bedrosia and Optrica. (New Ground)
    • About 2,000 years ago, the planet underwent a period of violent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, called the Upheaval. (New Ground)
      • Their world's stargate was on the Bedrosian continent, buried in a cliff face during the Upheaval the DHD was buried in the ground. (New Ground)
    • The peoples of the two continents had been at war for decades by the time SG-1 showed up, over religion.
      • The Bedrosians believed that life was created on Bedrosia by Nefertum, the creator. (New Ground)
      • The Optricans believed that they had evolved on another world and been brought to this one via an interstellar gateway -- which they considered holy, and believed (correctly) to be on Bedrosia. (New Ground)
    • The Bedrosian government tracked its people with something called the Bedrosian Central Registry when Rigar's lieutenant analyzed SG-1's blood, none of them showed a particle match with the Registry. Rigar took this as proof that they were Optricans. (New Ground)
    • Known Bedrosians:
      • Mallin:
        • An archaeologist working with Nyan to uncover what turned out to be the stargate. Her first assumption was that it was something that their ancestors had used for astronomical calculations. (New Ground)
          • They were searching for a settlement that had been there before the Upheaval, to prove the Bedrosian theory that human life was created on Bedrosia by Nefertum, without a gateway. (New Ground)
        • When the chevrons on the stargate started lighting up, she got scared and told Nyan they should leave when he walked up to the event horizon to see what it was, she told him he'd drown. (New Ground)
        • She didn't run when the MALP came through, though she stayed to see what it was. (New Ground)
          • After Daniel started talking, and said he was on another planet, she decided it was a trick (Optrican, presumably), and told Nyan they should report it. (New Ground)
        • When Nyan said he thought they'd found the gateway, Mallin got nervous she said the gateway didn't exist, it was just Optrican legend, and that it would be very dangerous to assume that this was the gateway. (Basically, it would be blasphemy, and would undermine their entire culture's belief system/basis.) (New Ground)
          • She wanted Nyan to say no when Daniel asked to come through when he said yes, she took off running to report the situation. (New Ground)
          • Commander Rigarbrought her with him to investigate the & quotaliens" she insisted that they'd come through the circle, even though Rigar was convinced that it was nothing more than a trick. (New Ground)
            • Her insistence got her sent back to Rigar's base to be questioned further. (New Ground)
      • Nyan:
        • A Bedrosian archaeologist who believed in Nefertum as his creator. (New Ground)
        • He was working with Mallin and at least one other person (unnamed), searching for a settlement that had existed before the Upheaval, to prove the Bedrosian theory that human life was created on Bedrosia without a gateway. Instead, they uncovered the stargate, just in time for the SGC's cold-dialing program to dial in. (New Ground)
        • Open-minded and curious.
          • When the stargate he'd just unburied first activated, he walked up to the event horizon and stuck his hand in to see what it felt like. A few minutes later, when the MALP came through and Daniel started addressing him through it, Nyan's first thought was that he was dealing with a mechanical life form. (New Ground)
          • As soon as he realized there was life on the other side of the circle, Nyan told Mallin that he thought it was the gateway -- and that if it was, the Bedrosians were wrong, and the Optricans were right. (New Ground)
        • He brought the blinded and injured Teal'c to a cave that held supplies for safety. They spoke of Nefertum, and Teal'c told Nyan that he had been an under-System Lord to Ra, and had likely brought Nyan's people through the stargate as slaves thousands of years ago. Nyan was a bit horrified faced by the blatant blasphemy, but his scientific training took over, leading him to want to present the truth at the & quotresearch academy" to his fellow scientists, sure that they would be able to overcome their religious upbringing in the face of clear evidence. (New Ground)
          • When Teal'c pointed out that the military had the stargate under its control, Nyan said it was Teal'c he wanted to use as proof. Teal'c didn't take that well all he wanted was to rescue his teammates. (New Ground)
          • He was as excited to have his theories conclusively proved wrong as he would have been to have had them proved right he was all about the pure science. (New Ground)
        • He brought a healing device back to the cave to help regenerate Teal'c's visual nerves, and basically bullied Teal'c into using it, saying he refused to be part of a suicide mission to rescue the rest of the team, which is what it would be if Teal'c remained blind. (New Ground)
        • He wasn't intimidated at all by Teal'c's size or strength, even after nearly being throttled by him when he first came across the injured Teal'c. (New Ground)
        • When he and Teal'c went off to rescue the rest of SG-1, he insisted that they shoot to stun, not kill. (New Ground)
        • Despite having never used a weapon before, he proved adept at using both a zat and one of the Bedrosian weapons. (New Ground)
          • It's possible that Nyan killed a soldier without meaning to one of his zat blasts sounded like a double shot. No confirmation, though. (New Ground)
        • Running for the stargate behind Jack and Teal'c, Nyan took a full-force stun blast from Rigar and collapsed Teal'c went back for him and he and Jack brought Nyan through the stargate to Earth. (New Ground)
        • While recovering from the stun blast, Nyan, who had just been granted refugee status by the Air Force, was offered the position of Daniel's research assistant at the SGC. He probably accepted, but we never actually saw it. (New Ground)
      • Rigar:
        • A Bedrosian commander he walked with a limp, presumably from an injury he got in battle with the Optricans. (New Ground)
        • Mallinreported her suspicions to him, and he led a troop to the stargate to capture SG-1. (New Ground)
        • He refused to believe that they were aliens, accusing them of being Optrican spies sent to simulate the Optrican beliefs about the gateway in order to undermine the most basic Bedrosian beliefs. (New Ground)
          • He was adamant about this, even when others began to question it he refused to accept that his people had spent generations praying to a god that didn't exist, and that many of their people had died meaningless deaths in battle. (New Ground)
          • Even when the SGC redialed the gate and Rigar watched the kawoosh shoot out, with the event horizon there afterward, he insisted that it wasn't the gateway, just an Optrican trick. (New Ground)
        • He had no trouble figuring out how a zat worked. (New Ground)
        • He shot Nyan with one of the energy rifles when Nyan was trying to escape with Jack and Teal'c. (New Ground)
        • Jack zatted him once after he shot Nyan, and he collapsed. (New Ground)
      • Parey:
    • Rigar'ssecond-in-command, by the look of it, or possibly his personal aide. (No visible insignia, and no rank was ever given for her her name was never even said by anyone, I got it off the credits.) (New Ground)
    • She traveled with Rigar to the stargate to capture SG-1, and used a very big needle to the neck on Jack, Daniel, as soon as they arrived, presumably drawing blood she reported that blood analysis showed that they were all human, but weren't listed in the Bedrosian Central Registry. (New Ground)
    • She was secure enough in her position to question Rigar's commitment to the idea that the stargate was a trick, asking him what if it really were the gateway, and the Optricans were right. When he insisted that it was a fake, though, she went along. (New Ground)
    • She was the first Bedrosian to go down in the final escape attempt she went to the shuttlecraft to tell them to launch, and Teal'c shot her with a Bedrosian energy rifle. She should have been just stunned, not killed. (New Ground)

    Technology:

    • Electrified cages:
      • To hold prisoners in -- just big enough to sit in without touching the edges. (New Ground)
    • Energy rifles:
      • Hand weapons/rifles that looked something like long curved sticks the stock and barrel design was very simple (a place to grip the end, with a long simple curve leading to the muzzle end), with a double, pointed, triangular muzzle. The top point was almost dart-like the lower was longer and more dangerous-looking. They shot energy bursts, not physical projectiles. They could also be used to deliver contact jolts of energy. (New Ground)
        • They also lock and unlock the cages prisoners are kept in, and can electrify or un-electrify the cages. (New Ground)
    • Ergonomic chairs :
      • Common enough to bring to a remote quarantine site (where they'd set up to interrogate SG-1, near the stargate) they look like Aerons. (New Ground)
    • Force fields:
      • These protected the ships, and could also be projected from the airships to enclose people on the ground four of them formed a box that then pulled in. When the force field touched Jack, Sam, and Daniel, they were knocked unconscious. (New Ground)
    • Healing device:
      • Among other things, it can regenerate visual nerves, if it's used within the first 30 hours after an injury. (New Ground)
        • It emits a beam that regenerates the nerve, and is applied in short bursts, with time between. Too short a break between treatments could do more harm than good. (New Ground)
    • Portable blood analysis machines.(New Ground)
    • Quarantine shield:
      • A larger force field in a dome shape, protecting an area so that only shuttlecraft could get in. Rigar set one up around Nyan's archaeological dig, with enough space for several large tents and some shuttlecraft as well. (New Ground)
    • Shuttlecraft (airships)
      • Could fly or hover equally easily boxy affairs with no wings. (New Ground)
    • Technology/weapons/gear left behind by SG-1 (New Ground):
      • Naquadah reactor and the wires needed to hook it to a stargate
      • MALP (the electrics are probably fried, since it was zatted) -- Staff weapon
      • Three radios
      • Six grenades
      • At least two pistols, fully loaded
      • Two M5s, with six clips (nb: I don't know guns, and I can't swear that it was an M5 at that point all I'm sure of is that it isn't a P-90. If someone knows differently, by all means, let me know and I'll change it.)
      • Three compasses
      • Three watches
      • Three GDOs
      • Three knives
      • Three vests
      • various field rations
      • two notebooks, probably Daniel's no idea if they'd been written in yet

  • Edorans:
    • Planet: Edora. SGC designation P5C-768. (A Hundred Days)
    • & quotFair day" was the standard parting (instead of goodbye). (A Hundred Days)
    • The planet travelled through an asteroid belt each year, causing a massive meteor shower, beginning on the same night every year. (A Hundred Days)
      • The locals called the meteor shower the & quotfire rain" . (A Hundred Days)
      • The display got more spectacular by the year the locals didn't realize that also meant it was getting more dangerous by the year. (A Hundred Days)
      • Although the fire rain hadn't struck the ground in living memory, there was a & quottale of the ancestors" that long ago, on the second day of the fire rain, there was a distant thunder, and the horizon burned as though the sun never set. (A Hundred Days)
      • Daniel's examination of the geological evidence showed that meteors (containing naquadah) likely impacted the planet in significant numbers (or a single impact of significant size) roughly every 150 years the last one had been 150 years earlier. (A Hundred Days)
      • Sam's calculations showed that hundreds of car-sized asteroids were directly in the planet's path during the time the team was there. (A Hundred Days)
    • The population in the stargate's immediate vicinity appeared to be the only descendants of the people brought there by the Goa'uld thousands of years earlier. (A Hundred Days)
      • The culture appeared to be descended of northern Europeans of some sort, based on the architecture, thatching, and general clothing and appearance. (A Hundred Days)
      • The regular bombardments with meteors probably did a lot to keep the population's numbers down. (A Hundred Days)
    • At least some of & quotthe ancestors" likely sheltered in a cave system near the village during one of the recent bombardments by meteors, allowing them to survive it. (A Hundred Days)
    • SG-1 arrived on the planet in 1999, when the fire rain had gotten dangerously close, and stayed for several days, becoming particularly friendly with a woman named Laira. They were working out a treaty between Earth and Edora. (A Hundred Days)
      • The trade treaty was largely because the Edoran soil was rich in naquadah (possibly from all the meteor strikes over the centuries). (A Hundred Days)
    • When the meteors began coming close enough to start hitting, SG-1 offered to evacuate the village. Despite initial resistance (based on the face that no one could remember the fire rain hitting the ground), most of the village (2/3) went for it when a meteor struck relatively close by, with a visible/audible explosion and some ground-shaking. (A Hundred Days)
      • Garanand Naytha retreated to the caves, believing they could shelter there Laira and Jack went after them and were trapped by the meteor strikes. (A Hundred Days)
      • The rest of the villagers hung on as best they could, although at least three families were killed when a meteor struck the house they were sheltering in. (A Hundred Days)
      • After three days of strikes, the villagers couldn't take anymore and tried to escape through the stargate (stone ring), but it had been completely buried, trapping them. (A Hundred Days)
      • With much-reduced numbers, they began to rebuild their lives, including Jack in the community. (A Hundred Days)
    • Sam believed that the molten naquadah of the meteor strike had hardened just above the event horizon of the active wormhole, forming a sort of iris -- allowing a wormhole to be established, but not allowing anything to pass through it and survive. (A Hundred Days)
      • She eventually got the idea to copy Sokar, and use a particle accelerator shot through an open wormhole to dig out some space in the naquadah shield, making enough room for a kawoosh to form and dig out an even bigger hole, making enough room for a person (Teal'c) to go through and finish the job by hand. (A Hundred Days)
    • The remaining villagers (including Jack) all pitched in to rebuild and bring in a good harvest good enough that they could manage to make a jug or two of moonshine (tolka) as well for a village-wide party. (A Hundred Days)
      • Jack had been accepted enough into the community that he was brought into a dance where he was blindfolded so the & quotancestors" could dance him to the person they thought he should be betrothed to -- the villagers guided him to Laira, who didn't have any objections at all. (A Hundred Days)
    • When the SGC managed to reconnect with the Edoran stargate and dig an opening through with Jack and Garan's help, the Edorans who'd been trapped on Earth were reunited with their families still on Edora. (A Hundred Days)

    Known Edorans:

    • Garan:
      • Laira's teenage son (15 or 16). (A Hundred Days)
      • He used to bring his girlfriend, Naytha, up to the local caves for privacy. (A Hundred Days)
      • When the meteors started getting close enough to hit, he and his girlfriend retreated to the caves, which Daniel had told them had once sheltered their ancestors during meteor strikes. (A Hundred Days)
      • After the barrage was over and the stargate was buried, leaving Jack trapped on Edora, Garan felt guilty about it, believing it was his fault Jack couldn't go home. (A Hundred Days)
      • When Laira told Jack that she'd heard a voice coming from his radio, Garan raced after him with a shovel to the stargate site, and dug with him when Teal'c told them he had little oxygen left. (A Hundred Days)
    • Laira:
      • A widow who befriended SG-1 when they visited her planet. (A Hundred Days)
      • When her husband died, she mourned him for 100 days -- never leaving her house, never speaking to anyone. After that, she began living again. (A Hundred Days)
      • When she was a child, her father told her the & quotfire rain" was the tears of their ancestors, longing to be reunited. (A Hundred Days)
      • She had a teenage son, Garan. (A Hundred Days)
      • She was clearly interested in/fond of Jack pretty much from the beginning, talking with him about the treaty between their worlds and other things while the rest of SG-1 did more wandering to find out what was going on. (A Hundred Days)
      • When SG-1 gathered the village to offer to evacuate them to the SGC because the meteors were about to start impacting the planet, she backed them, saying she would go because she trusted them. (A Hundred Days)
        • Garan retreated to the caves, so Laira and Jack went after him, only to all be trapped when a meteor struck the stargate. (A Hundred Days)
      • After the barrage of meteor strikes stopped and they discovered that the stargate was buried, Laira mourned her lost friends (who wouldn't be able to return home without the gate) and began to include Jack in the community, first by making him a part of her home, despite Paynan's objections and dislike. (A Hundred Days)
      • When a fairly depressed Jack told Laira that the gate may just be buried, clearly wanting to get to work digging it out, she interrupted him to fake-brightly point out that they had to rebuild before the harvest, and that there were fewer of them now. (A Hundred Days)
      • She waited roughly 100 days for Jack to finish mourning his lost life before she kissed him. (A Hundred Days)
        • Some time later (not the same night), after a very cheerful village-wide party, complete with moonshine, Laira told Jack she wanted him to give her a child. She'd waited until he had put as much of his old life behind him as possible. Jack told her there was part of him that would never be able to let go of his old life, but that was okay by her. (A Hundred Days)
          • The next day she put his SG things into a basket and went to toss it Jack objected briefly, but when she asked if it reminded him of home, agreed that she should get rid of it. (A Hundred Days)
            • She poked at the radio before tossing it, turning it on and hearing Sam saying & quotfifteen seconds till shutdown" and counting down by five-second increments. She didn't tell him about it right away, but couldn't keep it a secret, and eventually gave him the radio and told him she may have heard a voice coming from it. (A Hundred Days)
      • She'd only had the one night with him, but clearly hoped she'd gotten pregnant (when he left to go home, she was standing with her hands on her lower abdomen in a very & quotI'm pregnant" way). (A Hundred Days)
        • There's been no indication since that Jack has a child on Edora.
    • Naytha:
      • Garan'sgirlfriend. (A Hundred Days)
      • She went with him to the caves to try to wait out the meteor strikes like & quotthe ancestors" , and wound up being trapped on the planet along with him, Laira, Jack, and the one-third of the villagers who had chosen to stay behind and take their chances. (A Hundred Days)
      • She survived, but believed she had lost her mother and father, who went through the stargate before it was buried. (A Hundred Days)
    • Paynan:
      • A fisherman, at least part of the time. (A Hundred Days)
      • While he wasn't overtly antagonistic to Jack the first time he met him, he was clearly suspicious of the idea of trading with Earth, saying & quotwhat we have, we need" . (A Hundred Days)
      • When Jack and SG-1 suggested that the villagers evacuate to be safe from the meteors, Paynan dug in his heels, telling the others that it was a trick to get them to give up their land. (A Hundred Days)
      • After the barrage of meteor strikes had stopped, Paynam (who had bandages wrapped around both hands, probably for burns) blamed Jack for the division of the village, and the small numbers of those that remained. He claimed that if Jack hadn't told the rest of the village to go through the stone ring (stargate), they'd all be together. He wasn't impressed when Jack told him that if he'd just listened in the first place and gone through the stargate, they wouldn't all be in such a precarious position now. (A Hundred Days)
      • After Jack had lived in the village for three months, Paynan invited him to supper in thanks for his help in rebuilding Paynan's home. (A Hundred Days)
      • They finally bonded over hangovers while chopping wood, after the night spent drinking tolka at the party. Paynan basically told Jack it had taken him long enough to figure out that Laira was a fine woman. (A Hundred Days)
    • Talmar:
      • His home was struck by one of the meteors, with three families inside. (A Hundred Days)
  • Tiernods:
    • Planet: PX3-595
    • Fairly primitive locals living on an Asgard-protected world. -- They used caves near the stargate (roughly 50 meters away) to hide from predators if predators followed them in, they used an Asgard invisibility device to vanish. (Shades of Grey)
      • NB:These people never physically made it into the show, not even on the DVDs, but were clearly intended to, because their picture was all over the marketing material. This is what they looked like they're also on the cover of the UK DVD (I haven't seen the US version), and on the box of the DVD box set. Their scene must have been cut at the last minute.

    Known Tiernods:

    • None
  • Togar's people:
  • Lived on P4X-884. (Urgo)
  • According to Urgo, the people were too afraid to go exploring through the stargate themselves, so they invented technology like Urgo to experience it for them and report back. (Urgo)
  • The unit required a life form it couldn't exist on its own. (Urgo)

   

  Known Togar's people:

  • Togar:
    • As a trap, he set up an illusion near the stargate of a paradisical world -- warm, sunny, and with a gorgeous sandy beach near a blue ocean. He wanted to lure travelers in so he could implant Urgo in them, to go out and explore their worlds and return the knowledge to him. (Urgo)
    • He was surprised and not happy to find out that the SGC knew Urgo's name he said that was an & quoterror" , and told them to return the & quotsubjects" and Urgo would be removed. (Urgo)
    • Had a fair amount of advanced technology, including wide-beam transporters directly in front of the stargate to take any travelers in transit, the travelers were stripped of all weaponry (and headgear and outwear SG-1 arrived in their usual caps/hats, jackets, and vests, with standard weaponry, and were transported to Togar's lab dressed only in boots, pants, and t-shirts). (Urgo)
    • Something stripped out all memory of a person's time on Togar's world -- possibly the transporters back to the stargate? SG-1 had absolutely no memory of what had happened either time they went through the gate to his world, but on the second trip, were clearly aware and awake for their interactions with Togar. (Urgo)
    • The door to his lab was on a whistle control -- he whistled three short sounds at it, and it rolled shut. (Urgo)
    • He was extremely resistant to the idea that Urgo might be alive, and insisted on calling it (Urgo) an error. (Urgo)
    • Without ever actually admitting that Urgo was alive, he let himself be talked into implanting Urgo in his own brain, to help him & quotlearn how the error occurred" . (Urgo)
  • Urgo:
    • Implanted in Jack, Daniel, Sam, and Teal'c's brains -- less than pinpoint size, but very powerful, and capable of working as a sort of network. (Urgo)
    • He chose to begin interacting with them, which he wasn't supposed to do. (Urgo)
    • The first thing he did was greatly enhance their sense of taste, to the point where they were enjoying foods they didn't even like. (Urgo)
    • He was capable of creating an image of himself that SG-1 could see, but it was all in their minds no one else could see him. (Urgo)
      • The image he chose to project was that of Togar. (Urgo)
    • He could read their surface thoughts, but apparently nothing deeper (memories, etc.). (Urgo)
    • He had a very strong power of suggestion, combined with the ability to increase their enjoyment of something to motivate them, but couldn't actually make them do something. They had to choose it. (Urgo)
    • He was afraid of his creator, calling him & quotreally scary evil" , and was determined not to return to the planet. (Urgo)
    • He had a certain self-preservation instinct, resisting the idea of being turned off when Sam started researching ways to do just that, he started distracting her to keep her off track. (Urgo)
    • Sam put all of SG-1 in a shielded room and set off a strong EM pulse to nullify Urgo. He was pretty worried about it. (Urgo)
      • It knocked Urgo offline briefly, but then he just laid low, not emitting any of the frequencies he'd given off before. (Urgo)
      • When Janet invited Sam to go rowing with Cassie that weekend, Urgo couldn't resist any longer, and got the entire team (all in separate quarters, and Sam walking back to hers) singing & quotRow, Row, Row Your Boat" in rounds. (Urgo)
    • He was unaware that his creator used an illusion of a beautiful world to trap travelers when he found out, he thought it was mean. (Urgo)
    • He was convinced that Togar was scary, mean, evil, and boring when Daniel came up with the idea of saving Urgo's life by implanting him in Togar (which the rest of SG-1 then picked up on), he said he'd rather be dead, or implanted in a little lizardy creature. Eventually, though, he agreed. (Urgo)

• Added to Miscellaneous page:
  • Nicknames:
    • Jack's names for other people:
    • Janet Fraiser: & quotNapoleonic powermonger" (Crystal Skull)
      • (all right, it's not really a name, per se, but I couldn't resist adding it)
• Added to Nitpicks page
  • Props:
    • Other
      • Jack's Senior Space/Missile badge:
        • Makes no sense at all. He spent most of his career in Special Ops, not Space Command, and can't have the seniority to be wearing that badge.
  • Individual episodes:
    • Children of the Gods:
      • Sam laid the line of claymores down 10 meters apart -- about 1/10th the space there should have been between them. 100 meters apart should be the minimum distance.
    • The Fifth Race:
      • Fraiser says that humans use only 5-10% of their brains that's horrible science, and totally untrue.
    • Foothold:
      • Why put an armory on the same floor as the secure holding cells? If someone escaped, they'd have much easier access to a whole lot of weapons that way.
      • Whatever happened with the aliens who escaped with full knowledge of the SGC?
    • Pretense:
      • Why didn't SG-1 remember their knives, when they were boggling at having had their weapons disabled? They were definitely not completely disarmed by the process. (Jack, especially, even still had a sort of projectile weapon, given how good he is at knife-throwing.)
      • Timeline glitch: Zipacna says that & quotuntil three years ago, the people of Abydos lived under Goa'uld law" . It should have been four years this was said well into the SGC's third year of traveling the gate system, and Daniel had been on Aybdos for more than a year before that started up.
      • What ever happened to Klorel? Is he still around?
    • Urgo:
      • Was Togar the only person running experiments through the stargate because he has control of it, or because he was the point man for a larger operation?
    • A Hundred Days:
      • Was SG-1 stood down from offworld missions for the three months it took to build the particle-beam generator? Sam seemed to be working on nothing else, but there was no indication about whether Daniel and Teal'c had been farmed out to help other teams in the meantime, or if Daniel had been working on pure research at the base while Teal'c went to Chulak or elsewhere to see his family or help Bra'tac.
    • Shades of Grey:
      • Continuity glitch?: The Tiernod's planet, P3X-595, was mentioned way back in Emancipation as a world where Sam had drunk so much... something, that she'd started taking off her clothes.
      • Continuity glitch? If this was really happening shortly after Jack's return from Edora, and he gated through to Edora (which he should have, since that's where he said he wanted to go and he wasn't the one dialing the gate), the continuity is off the gate he stepped through was sited in a lush meadow surrounded by trees, and the DHD even had viney things on it. Edora's stargate was basically firebombed by meteors, and had just been dug out of what had turned into a stony plain.
        • Possible spackling: there was a broad stony area off in the distance it's possible that the stargate was moved to a more pleasant location when it was dug out, although that put it further from the village. But there's no way that much foliage would grow back in even a year, much less a matter of weeks or even months.
      • The chevrons on the planet where Jack was making the drop lit up one by one. Grr.
    • New Ground:
      • Chevrons on the incoming wormhole in Bedrosia lit up one by one both times the SGC dialed in the editing on the firt one made it very clear that they were indeed lighting up as the SGC dialed each one. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
      • Hindsight: What the heck happened to Nyan? Why have we never seen him again?
    • Maternal Instinct:
      • Internal continuity glitch: In the courtyard, Daniel's jacket slips off his shoulders to show him in a short-sleeved t-shirt inside the temple, he's in a long-sleeved t-shirt.
    • Crystal Skull:
      • All the obvious ones about Daniel being able to walk on the floor and perch on things.
      • During the walk across the stone span with Nick, Daniel was walking between Jack and Sam, who just happened to have left exactly enough room for him to be perfectly spaced out there. But Nick never told them that's where he was, so there's no reason for them to have left the space. Daniel should have been either in front or in back, not in the middle. (Back would be better, so he wouldn't block Nick's view approaching the skull.
    • Nemesis:
      • Minor grammatical nit: Sam asks if the Biliskner could survive an uncontrolled reentry into Earth's atmosphere, but should have said just & quotentry" .
      • The airlock on the Biliskner was too big for Asgard it should have had a lower ceiling. Even if they just like roominess (very possible, given their general very airy architecture), the window in the door was placed too high for an Asgard to comfortably see through.
    • Small Victories:
      • Why does Teal'c's camera die when Stevens is killed? Teal'c himself suffered no apparent damage, and the signals weren't being jammed (at least, the other cameras were still working).
      • Jack, Sam, and Teal'c gate in from P4X-234 -- but in Nemesis, they gated out to P3X-234.
    • Full Circle:
      • (Why would Oma Desala bother reburying the stargate on Abydos after SG-1 left? < snip> )
        • Possible spackling: The weapon and explosion may have irradiated the planet to a dangerous degree, so Oma was protecing unwitting travelers.
    • Memento:
      • DELETED: Where did the transport rings come from?
        • As was pointed out to me, the ship was originally being built by Goa'uld, who would have included transport rings as a matter of course.
    • Birthright:
      • (Sam says that Jaffa have been genetically altered to rely upon symbiotes, and that if they don't get one [at puberty], they die. This flatly contradicts what happens in Bloodlines, < snip> )
        • Possible spackling: Teal'c was unaware of the extent of the genetic alteration, and just assumed Rya'c would be safe without a symbiote.
    • Resurrection:
      • (Where did the rogue NID cell get such a huge block of (presumably refined) naquadah? < snip> )
        • Possible spackling: The naquadah was already in the artifact that Sekhmet turned into a bomb, and she just took advantage of it.

June 6, 2004

• Updated Arcs and Continuity pages through Lost City, part 2
  • Added arcs for the Ancients/Ascendants, and for President Henry Hayes
• Updated Episodes, Writers, and Directors through Lost City, part 2
• Added episode summaries for Lost City parts 1 and 2
• Updated Planets page through Lost City, part 2
• Updated the Site Index through Lost City, part 2
• Fixed broken links and typos throughout the site.
• Added to Jack:
  • General background info:
    • Deliberately downloaded an Ancient database into his brain, knowing the SGC had no way of reversing the process, in hopes of gaining information about the Lost City and its weapons to defeat Anubis. After successfully taking out Anubis's fleet with the Ancient weapon, he had the rest of the team put him into stasis. (Lost City part 1, Lost City part 2)
  • Career:
    • Deliberately allowed an Ancient database to be downloaded into his brain again, to gain knowledge of the Lost City and Ancient weapons to fight off an impending attack by Anubis. He knew when he did it that it would likely kill him Thor wasn't replying to requests for help in the matter. (Lost City, part 1)
    • On the trip to a planet they hoped held the Lost City, Sam informed him that she'd been authorized by Hammond to take command if/when he was incapacitated Jack told her to take command immediately. When she demurred, he resigned on the spot. (Lost City, part 2)
      • This was at least his second resignation, and possibly the third. The previous definite resignation was after the first mission to Abydos it's possible he also resigned after Charlie died.
  • Possessions/controlled:
    • Deliberately allowed an Ancient database to be downloaded into his brain again, to gain knowledge of the Lost City and Ancient weapons to fight off an impending attack by Anubis. It downloaded on Friday by Monday, right on schedule, he began using Ancient terms without realizing it. Within a few days, he'd gained the power to heal and to control Ancient technology. With no way to reverse the process, he had himself put in stasis to avoid dying. (Lost City, part 1)
  • Food preferences:
    • As of sixth season and into seventh, is drinking Guiness at home. (Paradise Lost, Lost City, part 1)
  • Misc.:
    • As of late seventh season, had a waterproof cell phone. (Lost City, part 1)
    • Had a running bet on with Sam about finishing a cryptic crossword at the double or nothing point -- after arriving at work half an hour late to be sure he finished the crossword -- he lost. (Lost City, part 1)
    • Ancient database:
      • (Fifth Race info coming soon)
      • Deliberately allowed an Ancient database to be downloaded into his brain again, to gain knowledge of the Lost City and Ancient weapons to fight off an impending attack by Anubis. (Lost City, part 1)
        • He recovered within a matter of minutes, rather than the hour it took the first time. (Lost City, part 1)
        • Back at the SGC, he asked for and got the weekend off to take care of some personal matters -- including watching his & quotfavorite show" , probably the Simpsons. (Lost City, part 1)
        • He spent Friday night looking up at the sky (through his telescope?), wondering how many of the stars he'd been to. (Lost City, part 1)
        • By the next morning, the rest of the team couldn't take it, and showed up at his door (first Sam, then Daniel and Teal'c (with doughnuts) together). (Lost City, part 1)
          • Jack had time to try to ease some of Sam's guilt about not having put her own head in the device, saying that it had happened the way it had to happen, before the other two arrived. (Lost City, part 1)
          • The four of them sat around in Jack's living room, drinking Guiness and eating doughnuts and chatting (at least in part about the Simpsons) for a while -- long enough for Daniel to start getting drunk. (Lost City, part 1)
          • Jack went all grumpy when none of them would back him on his analogy between birds on the Simpsons and the Goa'uld, and declared that he was no longer leaving the entire VHS collection to one of them -- he was giving it to Siler. (Lost City, part 1)
          • Hammond arrived and put a damper on everything when he informed them all that he'd been transferred out of the SGC and to Washington. (Lost City, part 1)
        • By Monday, right on schedule, he began using Ancient terms without realizing it. (Lost City, part 1)
        • His brain appeared to be hunting for the correct information some of the first words he came up with (& quotpraclarush taonas" ) translated into what Daniel believed to be the name/address of the planet where they'd find the Lost City. (Lost City, part 2)
        • Like the first time, he began gathering materials with no idea of why he was collecting it -- mostly hardware of one sort or another, including a request to Daniel and Sam to grab a naquadah generator. (Lost City, part 2)
        • On the trip to the planet, he rearranged the crystals in the power center then shot them with a zat to improve their speed (significantly). (Lost City, part 2)
        • Sam told him that she'd been authorized to take command when he became incapacitated when she refused to take over immediately, he took matters out of her hand by resigning on the spot. (Lost City, part 2)
        • When Praclarush Taonas turned out to be a world covered in hardened lava flows (and with lava still flowing in some places), circling a red giant, Sam ordered Jack to sit down and take a look, to see if he could figure out what they should do next. He found a hardened-lava dome (which he called Taonas), with one spot thin enough for transport rings to break through. The hazmat suits he'd brought for SG-1 would allow them to survive. (Lost City, part 2)
          • Inside the dome, he went straight for a chair on a darkened dais, triggering the power. He raised an atmosphere shield that allowed them all to remove their hoods, then after taking off his glove as well for finer control of the gel-like control panel built into the arm of the chair, he triggered a holographic star map, showing all the worlds the Ancients had colonized (at least, as far as Daniel could tell). The map centered in on our solar system, then on Earth, as it was roughly 30,000 million years ago -- Jack called it & quotTerre Atlantus" . When the others asked if he was saying the Lost City was Atlantis, on Earth, he said & quotsubo glaciuse" -- under the ice (of Antarctica). (Lost City, part 2)
          • His English seemed to be gone here, but wasn't quite. He still understood it, and was possibly still able to speak it a bit. When Sam asked if they'd come all this way simply to find out they had to go back, he said & quotno" , then got up and went to a corner of the dais to remove a power source and hand it to her. (Lost City, part 2)
        • When they returned to the ship, Bra'tac was on the deck, dying from a stab wound to the abdomen. Jack healed him with the power of the Ancients -- an ability he hadn't seemed to develop the first time around. (Lost City, part 2)
          • The energy it took drained him a bit, but he remained conscious. (Lost City, part 2)
        • On the trip back to Earth, he worked on the transport rings, modifying the matter stream transmitter to be able to blow a hole in the ice. (Lost City, part 2)
        • Once there was a hole, he unrigged the transport rings, returning them to normal so the team could ring down. (Lost City, part 2)
        • The chamber was similar (but in better condition) to the one on Praclarush, and included stasis chambers. (Lost City, part 2)
        • When Anubis sent a hologram to try to bluff SG-1 into thinking he'd gotten there first and they should give up, Jack walked right through him. (Lost City, part 2)
        • He headed for a chair on a dais, identical to the one on Praclarush. (Lost City, part 2)
          • On the dais, he raised a dead power crystal, and replaced it with the active one from Praclarush. (Lost City, part 2)
          • While Teal'c, Daniel, and Sam held off attacking kull warriors, Jack used the chair to activate an Ancient weapon -- a stream of thousands of small gold energy squidlike things, which he directed against the remaining kull warrior first (it seemed to be consumed), then the al-kesh and gliders in the air, then out into space against the Goa'uld fleet. None of them harmed any Earth protectors, and the Goa'uld fleet was destroyed. (Lost City, part 2)
          • Barely able to communicate anymore, Jack asked to be put in one of the stasis/sleep chambers. With no other choice, the team did so Jack held on long enough to say & quotgoodbye" in Ancient, then the stasis field took over. (Lost City, part 2)
• Added to Daniel:
  • Career:
    • SGC years:
      • Stayed focused on finding the Lost City of the Ancients, sure it would hold the weapons and technology Earth needed to defend itself from Anubis. (seventh season overall)
      • When Dr. Weir took over the SGC after Hammond's transfer out, Daniel was the first member of SG-1 to talk to her, trying to impress upon her the importance of the SGC's current missions, particularly regarding the Lost City and Jack, who had an Ancient database in his mind right then. (Lost City, part 1)
      • Thanks to Jack, Daniel figured out that gate addresses could be pronounced as words each symbol is a syllable. (Lost City, part 2)
    • Diplomatic/negotiation highlights:
      • Drafted the first treaty with the Tok'ra, referencing Dr. Elizabeth Weir's work. (Lost City, part 1)
      • When Jack inadvertantly offended the Goa'uld at the negotiating table with the Asgard and the Tau'ri, Daniel wrote up a formal letter of apology that got them all back to the table. (Fair Game)
  • Misc.:
    • Tried to interface with an Ancient face-grabbing database in a desperate bid for knowledge, but Jack stopped him and took his place, knowing that Daniel would be needed to translate. (Lost City, part 1)
      • Stopped by Jack's place on Saturday morning (the next day) with Teal'c (and doughnuts) to talk to Jack, who had taken the weekend off to deal with some personal matters while waiting for the Ancient knowledge to start taking over his brain. (Lost City, part 1)
      • Sam was already there, and the four of them sat around in Jack's living room, drinking Guiness and eating doughnuts and chatting (at least in part about the Simpsons) for a while -- long enough for Daniel to start getting drunk -- before Hammond showed up with some bad news of his own -- he was being transferred out of the SGC. (Lost City, part 1)
• Added to Sam:
• Career:
  • Commands:
    • After Jack deliberately downloaded another Ancient database into his brain to gain access to knowledge about the Lost City, Hammond authorized Sam to take command of the team and mission, if/when Jack became incapable of it. (Lost City, part 2)
      • She informed Jack of this during their trip to a planet they hoped held the Lost City, while he was still in control of himself he told her to take command immediately. When she demurred, he resigned, leaving her no choice but to take command. (Lost City, part 2)
      • The first order she gave was to Jack, telling him to sit down and take a look at the surface of the planet below to see if he had any ideas on what they should do next. (Lost City, part 2)
• Misc.:
  • After Jack deliberately downloaded an Ancient database into his head on a Friday and took the weekend off to take care of some personal matters, she stopped by his place on a Saturday morning to talk to him. (Lost City, part 1)
    • As well as wanting to see how he was doing, she was feeling guilty about not sticking her own head in the Ancient device Jack wasn't having any of it, telling her that she was a national resource, possibly even treasure, and that it had happened the way it had to happen. (Lost City, part 1)
    • Daniel and Teal'c (bearing doughnuts) showed up at that point, and the four of them sat around in Jack's living room, drinking Guiness and eating doughnuts and chatting (at least in part about the Simpsons) for a while -- long enough for Daniel to start getting drunk -- before Hammond showed up with some bad news of his own: he was being transferred out of the SGC. (Lost City, part 1)
• Added to Teal'c:
  • Career:
    • Piloted a cargo ship past an armada of Anubis's ships in orbit around Earth by dropping out of hyperspace practically inside Earth's atmosphere (and thus inside the ring of ships), and managed not to crash the cargo ship into Antarctica in the process despite having only seconds to decelerate. (Lost City, part 2)

    • After Jack deliberately downloaded an Ancient database into his head on a Friday and took the weekend off to take care of some personal matters, he stopped by Jack's place on Saturday morning with Daniel (and doughnuts) to talk to him. (Lost City, part 1)
      • Sam was already there, and the four of them sat around in Jack's living room, drinking Guiness (juice or some other red drink for Teal'c) and eating doughnuts and chatting (at least in part about the Simpsons) for a while -- long enough for Daniel to start getting drunk -- before Hammond showed up with some bad news of his own -- he was being transferred out of the SGC. (Lost City, part 1)

• Added to Universe:
  • Stargates:
    • Dialing:
      • The Ancients designed the gate addresses to be pronouncable each symbol is a syllable in the Ancients's language, so that each address consisted of six (or seven) syllables plus the point of origin. (Lost City, part 2)
• Added to SGC:
  • History:
• Timeline:
  • late 2003:
    • Hammond is relieved of SGC command and ordered to Washington DC to discuss reassignment he's given one day to report. (Lost City, part 1)
    • Dr. Weir is announced as Hammond's replacement. (Lost City, part 1)
    • SGC operations are effectively shut down for a three-month review period, during which time a newly formed government department will take over for Stargate Command. (Lost City, part 1)
    • Dr. Weir physically takes office as head of the stargate program. (Lost City, part 1)
    • All offworld SG teams are recalled. (Lost City, part 1)
    • Hayes fires Kinsey when Kinsey tries to take over the SGC. (Lost City, part 2)
• Technology:
  • Tau'ri (converted or invented):
    • Prometheus:
      • Under Hammond's command:
        • Launched during Anubis's all-out attack on Earth to buy SG-1 some time to complete its mission. Hammond was in command, with Sergeant Davis along as well, and the usual Prometheus crew, barring Ronson (no sign of him). (Lost City, part 2)
        • The Prometheus took up position directly above SG-1's scout ship while the F-302s fought one on one with Anubis's ships. (Lost City, part 2)
        • Its fleet of F-302s made a good showing, holding off Anubis's gliders and al-kesh long enough to buy SG-1 the time they needed. (Lost City, part 2)
          • When the surviving 302s had expended their ordinance, Hammond ordered them to divert to McMurdo Prometheus couldn't take them back aboard in the middle of the battle. (Lost City, part 2)
        • The ship took damage to the hull during the battle, and its shields were weakened. Hammond refused to break off to recharge the shields, holding position over the scout ship to continue protecting SG-1. (Lost City, part 2)
        • When the scout ship cleared away from the hole in the ice (with SG-1 safely underground), Hammond broke off and headed directly for Anubis's mothership, despite having just taken a hit from Anubis that caused Prometheus's shields to begin to fail. It continued to take hits from the flagship, but didn't change course. (Lost City, part 2)
        • The shields failed under the barrage, and all weapons were expended before they reached Anubis's ship the next hit would take them out. Hammond kept them on course, saying that if they went, they were taking Anubis's ship with them. (Lost City, part 2)
        • When they were close to collision, the stream of gold energy weapons swept past them and began attacking the Goa'uld fleet. Hammond broke off, and they watched the fleet get destroyed in front of their eyes. (Lost City, part 2)
• Added to SGC Personnel:
  • Sgt. Davis:
    • On Dr. Weir's first day in charge, Davis announced & quotunscheduled incoming traveler" rather than & quotunauthorized offworld activation" (personal speculation -- possibly to make sure Weir understood exactly what was happening, to cut down on her reaction time?) (Lost City, part 1)
    • Went with Hammond on the Prometheus during its mission to buy SG-1 some time to complete the mission to use Ancient technology against Anubis's fleet. (Lost City, part 2)
  • Hammond:
    • Broke out his listing into more specific sections, to make it easier to find things this means that his listing is less chronological than it used to be.
    • Family and friends:
      • Seems to respect and like President Henry Hayes, who respects and likes him back they knew each other as lieutenants, although they hadn't seen each other since then before Hayes called Hammond to the White House. (Lost City, part 1)
    • Pre-SGC career:
      • Late 1960s / early 1970s: knew Henry Hayes when they were both lieutenants. (Lost City, part 1)
        • nb: The time is a guess on my part, but with Hammond canonically a lieutenant in 1969, it seems reasonable.
    • SGC:
      • Interactions with the Pentagon/President:
        • Presidents:
          • He was friends with the (unnamed) president who held office for the first seven years of the stargate program, and had known Henry Hayes, the second president, years ago when they were both lieutenants, and believed him to be a good man. (Multiple eps Lost City, part 1)
        • He was relieved of his command and sent to Washington to discuss reassignment shortly after Henry Hayes took office as president. (Lost City, part 1)
          • In Washington, Hayes assured him that he hadn't been relieved of command because of his record it was purely a political move. (Lost City, part 1)
          • Hammond said he was thinking of retirement, rather than reassignment Hayes laughed and said no he wanted to keep him in Washington, because he was going to need Hammond's expertise. (Lost City, part 1)
      • Interactions with/about SG-1:
        • He believed the threat from Anubis had grown too great to pass up any chance at defense, and okayed the mission to P3X-439 to attempt to retrieve the Ancient repository of knowledge by physically removing it and bringing it home to study. He was somewhat taken aback when he was informed that Jack had instead downloaded it into his brain -- again. (Lost City, part 1)
        • When he was relieved of command, effective immediately, he went to Jack's house to let him know the entire team was there, and he told all of them. He made no move to fight it, or to let them fight it he didn't want to go against orders, and also felt he could be more use in Washington. (Lost City, part 1)
        • He authorized Sam to take command of the mission to Praclarush Taonas when Jack became too incapacitated. (Lost City, part 2)
    • Post-SGC:
      • After being relieved of his SGC command, Hammond traveled to Washington for further orders, where he got caught up in the preparations for Anubis's imminent attack on Earth. (Lost City, part 1)
      • A day or two after Hayes told Hammond he was going to need him and that Hammond couldn't retire yet, while Hammond was in a meeting with Hayes, Kinsey, and Maynard, General Jumper arrived to announce that space-based radar had picked up three Goa'uld ships heading for Earth. He said that the Prometheus and the fleet of 302s could handle it, but Hammond, while agreeing that that was true if there were no other ships coming, respectfully suggested that they not send the Prometheus out he believed it to be a feint, for Anubis to judge their defenses, and wanted to give SG-1 a chance to return with weapons technology they could use. Hayes agreed with him, and left the military at DEFCON 3. (Lost City, part 2)
      • With the military shifted to DEFCON 1 after Anbusis's fleet took up station around Earth and began attacking power and communication grids, Hammond began his new (likely temporary) command -- of the Prometheus, launched to buy SG-1 some time to complete its mission. He took Sergeant Davis along with him. (Lost City, part 2)
        • The Prometheus took up position directly above SG-1's scout ship while the F-302s fought one on one with Anubis's ships. (Lost City, part 2)
          • When the surviving 302s had expended their ordinance, Hammond ordered them to divert to McMurdo Prometheus couldn't take them back aboard in the middle of the battle. (Lost City, part 2)
        • The ship took damage to the hull during the battle, and its shields were weakened. Hammond refused to break off to recharge the shields, holding position over the scout ship to continue protecting SG-1. (Lost City, part 2)
        • When the scout ship cleared away from the hole in the ice (with SG-1 safely underground), Hammond broke off and headed directly for Anubis's mothership, despite having just taken a hit from Anubis that caused Prometheus's shields to begin to fail. It continued to take hits from the flagship, but didn't change course. (Lost City, part 2)
        • The shields failed under the barrage, and all weapons were expended before they reached Anubis's ship the next hit would take them out. Hammond kept them on course, saying that if they went, they were taking Anubis's ship with them, and warning the crew to brace for collision. (Lost City, part 2)
        • When they were close to collision, the stream of gold energy weapons swept past them and began attacking the Goa'uld fleet. Hammond broke off, and they watched the fleet get destroyed in front of their eyes. (Lost City, part 2)
  • Harper:
    • Rank unknown, but likely either major or lt. colonel -- he calls both Jack and Reynolds & quotsir" . (Lost City, part 1)
    • Very likely in command of SG-5 he and Reynolds were waiting to meet with SG-1 and Hammond to see if he was going to approve a mission to P3X-439 to try to recover the Ancients's repository of knowledge, with SGs 3 and 5 as the backup teams. (Lost City, part 1)
    • The mission was approved, and he led his team there. (Lost City, part 1)
  • Colonel Pearson:
    • Worked in the control room (personal speculation -- possibly functioning as senior on-base military officer under Dr. Weir's new leadership since Hammond was no longer around?). He was careful not to use acronyms or abbreviations around her when he announced that the unscheduled incoming traveler was using Bra'tac's personal identification code (IDC), and referred to Bra'tac as Master Bra'tac. (Lost City, part 1)
  • Reynolds:
    • Still in command of SG-3. He led his team and SG-5 as backup for SG-1 on P3X-439 when SG-1 tried to recover an Ancient repository of knowledge from a colonnade. (Lost City, part 1)
  • Dr. Elizabeth Weir
    • A civilian recruited into the program directly by President Hayes, to be its new head. (Lost City, part 1)
    • She's an expert in international politics, with strong diplomatic/negotiation credentials she brokered a dozen of the most sensitive treaties of modern times, and mediated negotiations for the UN, as well as one in North Africa (it's not clear if that was on behalf of the UN or not). (Lost City, part 1)
      • Daniel referenced some of her work when he drafted the first treaty with the Tok'ra. (Lost City, part 1)
    • She started her career as a political activist, lobbying against government spending on the military. (Lost City, part 1)
      • She has an aversion to the military -- but not a kneejerk, unthinking one. (Lost City, part 1)
      • She decided that the best way to stop the proliferation of weapons is to try to stop the need for them. (Lost City, part 1)
    • She speaks five languages -- including Russian and probably Latin, since she was familiar enough with it to know that & quotderentis" wasn't Latin. (Lost City, part 1)
    • Kinsey gave her a ride to the White House for her meeting, both because Hayes told him to explain the situation to her and because he wanted to sway her to his own side right off the bat. (Lost City, part 1)
      • Her initial reaction to his announcement that the Air Force was running a program using alien technology was to ask if it was a joke. After Kinsey handed her a note from the president (& quotThis is not a joke." ) and a confidential file with more details, she took it more seriously. (Lost City, part 1)
    • Later, she was brought to a room with boxes and boxes of confidential files about the program. (Lost City, part 1)
    • During her meeting with Hayes, she assumed that she was being brought in to help negotiate with other Earth governments to deal with their wanting to be given control of the program she didn't believe herself qualified to negotiate with aliens. She assumed that Hayes wanted to put a friendlier face on the project than a military general, in preparation for the day when the program wound up going public. (Lost City, part 1)
      • She didn't accept on the spot, but did take the job. (Lost City, part 1)
    • Kinsey showed up as soon as her meeting with the president was over, to warn her to be careful who she trusted (including Hayes), saying that he (Kinsey) was the one person she wanted on her side, and the one person she didn't want to cross. (Lost City, part 1)
      • Weir doesn't scare easily, and already had too much political acumen to let herself be swayed or intimidated by this. (Lost City, part 1)
    • She arrived at the SGC on Monday (her meeting with Hayes had been on Friday) and began to settle in, prepared to make changes that not everyone would be happy with. (Lost City, part 1)
      • The depth and lack of windows unsettled her slightly. (Lost City, part 1)
    • All offworld teams were recalled as of early Monday morning, either by her order or as Hammond's last order. (Lost City, part 1)
    • The first SG-1 member she spoke with was Daniel, who immediately began impressing on her the need for and urgency of SGC operations, especially regarding Jack (who had an Ancient database slowly unspooling into his brain). (Lost City, part 1)
      • He challenged her to go offworld to see for herself what was going on, and why the Goa'uld were such an immediate, deadly threat she appeared to be prepared to do so, but not immediately. (Lost City, part 1)
    • The first alien visitor she met was Bra'tac, who came bearing news that Anubis was gathering his full fleet to stage an attack on Earth, and that he'd arrive within three days. (Lost City, part 1)
    • She met the rest of SG-1 in the meeting with Bra'tac -- with Kinsey also present. (Lost City, part 1)
    • She proved very flexible/adaptable, very quickly, following along with no apparent trouble as Daniel explained that gate addresses could also be words, and that he was sure the words Jack had come up with were an address to the world of the Lost City. When Sam, checking the gate-address logs, said they'd already dialed that world and failed to connect, but that she could translate the address into a spatial point and they could go by ship, with Daniel suggesting the Prometheus, Weir didn't miss a beat, pointing out that the Prometheus was the Earth's last line of defense against Anubis. (Lost City, part 2)
    • She appeared to be running people through to the alpha site while Anubis's ships attacked Earth. When Kinsey showed up demanding to be added, she was fairly contemptuous of his cowardice. (Lost City, part 2)
    • A sudden power outage roused her suspicions, and she ordered a manual closing of the iris (over Kinsey's objections) just in time to stop a nuke (or worse) from destroying the base. (Lost City, part 2)
    • Over Kinsey's objections, she listened to a communication from SG-1, and, still over his objections, contacted Hayes and suggested that the Prometheus be used to buy some time to allow SG-1 to complete their mission. (Lost City, part 2)
    • Kinsey announced that her plan was insane, and he was relieving her and taking over Hayes, fed up, fired him, and once Kinsey stormed off, told Weir to continue. He went with Weir's idea. (Lost City, part 2)
• Added to SG Units:
  • SG-1:
    • Makeup:
      • Jack resigned and Sam took command of the team during a mission to Praclarush Taonas in search of the Lost City, when Jack had an Ancient database slowly taking over his brain. Sam remained in command when Jack had the team put him in stasis after destroying Anubis. (Lost City, part 2)
    • On a late-2003 mission to P3X-439 to physically remove an Ancient repository of knowledge from a ruined colonnade, they came under attack by Goa'uld and ran out of time. Daniel attempted to put himself in front of the head-grabber, but Jack pulled him away, pointing out that Daniel would be needed to translate for whoever did it, then took his place. When they got back home, he took the weekend off to take care of personal matters. (Lost City, part 1)
      • By the next morning, the rest of the team couldn't stay away any longer. First Sam showed up to see how he was doing and talk, then shortly thereafter Daniel and Teal'c arrived (bearing doughnuts). All of them used the totally lame excuse that they'd just happened to be in the neighborhood and decided to drop by. The four of them hung out in Jack's living room, drinking Guiness (juice of some sort for Teal'c) and eating doughnuts and arguing about the Simpsons. When no one agreed with Jack, he declared that none of them were getting his VHS collection he was leaving it to Siler instead. (Lost City, part 1)
      • Jack found and used the Ancient weapon under the Antarctic ice, but by then he was so far gone that he was barely able to ask to be put in a sleep/stasis chamber. The rest of the team had no choice but to put him there, with no idea how to save him. (Lost City, part 2)
    • System Lords and minor Goa'uld killed directly by SG-1:
      • Anubis (Jack, with an assist from the Ancients)
  • SG-2: (...)
    • On a mission to P3X-439, they discovered an Ancient ruin that contained a repository of the Ancients's knowledge. (Lost City, part 1)
      • NB: Daniel originally said that SG-2 discovered the ruins/colonnade Sam later said that SG-3 did, and that SG-3 and 5 would be providing backup for SG-1 during a mission there. But the subtitles on Sam read & quotSG-2... found the colonnade" , implying that although SG-2 made the discovery, SG-3 would take over as backup. Since I had to pick one, that's what I went with.
  • SG-3:(...)
    • Still commanded by Colonel Reynolds, SG-3 was one of the backup teams (along with SG-5) sent in to support SG-1 on its mission to retrieve the depository of Ancient knowledge from P3X-439. The backup teams covered the gate, knowing that the Goa'uld knew about the planet and needing to protect their escape route. When the Goa'uld attacked, SG-3 ran to cover SG-1's on-foot retreat to the stargatewhile SG-5 held the gate protected and open. (Lost City, part 1)
      • NB: Daniel originally said that SG-2 discovered the ruins/colonnade Sam later said that SG-3 did, and that SG-3 and 5 would be providing backup for SG-1 during a mission there. But the subtitles on Sam read & quotSG-2... found the colonnade" , implying that although SG-2 made the discovery, SG-3 would take over as backup. Since I had to pick one, that's what I went with.
  • SG-5: (...)
    • Commanded by Harper (rank unknown), SG-5 was one of the backup teams (along with SG-3) sent in to support SG-1 on its mission to retrieve the repository of Ancient knowledge from P3X-439. The backup teams covered the gate, knowing that the Goa'uld knew about the planet and needing to protect their escape route. When the Goa'uld attacked, SG-3 ran to cover SG-1's on-foot retreat to the stargate while SG-5 held the gate protected and open. (Lost City, part 1)
• Added to Non-SGC:
  • Politics:
    • Government:
      • U.S. President:
        • Henry Hayes:
          • He had an initial review of the SGC conducted, and determined to suspend all current SGC operations until a new government division could be established to provide oversight. (Lost City, part 1)
            • He chose Dr. Elizabeth Weir to be the new head of the stargate program. (Lost City, part 1)
              • Good at anticipating reaction when he sent Kinsey off to brief Dr. Weir prior to their meeting, he included a note saying & quotThis is not a joke" and his signature, to be given to her when she asked & quotIs this a joke?" (which she did). (Lost City, part 1)
            • When Weir finally arrived in his office, after being briefed and reading up a bit on the program (hours after Kinsey picked her up), Hayes called his secretary to have a car come get Weir in five minutes, throwing her off her stride again. (Lost City, part 1)
            • He explained why he'd chosen her -- her gifts at diplomacy and negotiation, and her ability to see to the heart of things, basically -- and assured her that although he did want a less threatening & quotlook" to the program than a military general, she was being put in charge, not placed as a figurehead with no real power. He was completely confident that she'd accept the position. (Lost City, part 1)
          • Apparently as soon as Weir accepted, Hayes had Hammond relieved of command, effective immediately Hammond found out on Saturday morning. (Lost City, part 1)
            • When Hammond arrived on Monday to meet with Hayes after being relieved of SGC command, Hayes reassured him that it was nothing to do with his record, which was exemplary it was a political move that had to be made. He also refused to entertain the idea of Hammond's retirement, saying he wanted Hammond's expertise right there in Washington. (Lost City, part 1)
          • A day or two later (the timeline got murky after Monday morning), while he was in a meeting with Hammond, Kinsey, and Maynard, General Jumper arrived to announce that space-based radar had picked up three Goa'uld ships heading for Earth. He said that the Prometheus and the fleet of F-302s could handle it, but Hammond, while agreeing that that was true if there were no other ships coming, respectfully suggested that they not send the Prometheus out he believed it to be a feint, for Anubis to judge their defenses, and wanted to give SG-1 a chance to return with weapons technology they could use. Hayes agreed with him, and left the military at DEFCON 3. (Lost City, part 2)
          • During an Oval Office meeting with Jumper, Hammond, Kinsey, Maynard, and an unnamed woman, Anubis appeared in hologram form. Once that was clear (after the Secret Service shot up the Oval Office pretty severely trying to get him), Hayes faced Anubis down, laughing off Anubis's demands that he bow before his god and instead offering to discuss Anubis's surrender. Anubis said that Hayes was bringing destruction down on the world Hayes said it would never happen, and Anubis vanished. (Lost City, part 2)
            • Almost immediately, 30-plus ships appeared in orbit around the planet. Kinsey promptly suggested that Hayes head for a bunker Hayes refused. (Lost City, part 2)
            • For the first two hours, they focused on power grids and broadcast terminals around the globe, knocking out communications. (Lost City, part 2)
          • Hayes shifted the military to DEFCON 1, and orders the launch of the Prometheus -- under the command of General George Hammond. (Lost City, part 2)
          • Weir contacted Hayes (on speakerphone) to give him her opinion on what should happen next: Prometheus should be used to buy SG-1 time to do what they needed to do. Kinsey (at the SGC trying to escape to the alpha site) tried to override her, telling Hayes that her plan was insane and that he was relieving her and taking over the facility. (Lost City, part 2)
          • Hayes told Kinsey to shut the hell up, and told him to & quotconsider [Kinsey's] resignation accepted" when Kinsey objected, Hayes said he had enough on him to have him shot, then told him to shut the hell up again. (Lost City, part 2)
          • Hayes went with Weir's idea, and sent Prometheus to Antarctica with its fleet of F-302s. (Lost City, part 2)
      • Kinsey:
        • Vice presidency:
          • He was sent by Hayes to brief Dr. Elizabeth Weir before her meeting/interview with Hayes about taking over as head of the SGC. Kinsey took the opportunity to try immediately swinging her to his own point of view, emphasizing the dangers of letting the Air Force, and particularly SG-1, remain in any sort of control. (Lost City, part 1)
            • He met with her again after her meeting with Hayes, telling her to be careful who she trusted, and that he was the one person she wanted on her side (and didn't want to cross), even ahead of the president. (Lost City, part 1)
          • He went to the SGC on Weir's first day, after Bra'tac brought news that Anubis would be attacking with his full fleet within three days. He wanted to be part of the meeting, and the decision-making. He was his usual not-so-charming self. (Lost City, part 1)
            • At first he accused Jack, SG-1, and the SGC at large, as well as Bra'tac, of fabricating the invasion in an attempt to regain control of the stargate project. Later, he claimed that Jack's action in downloading the Ancient database into his brain had brought the wrath of Earth's greatest enemy down upon them. Jack nailed him on the inconsistency -- either he believed the invasion was real, or he didn't. (Lost City, part 1)
            • When Jack asked Weir for permission to try to access the knowledge of the Lost City in his brain, and for SG-1 to go get it if he could, Kinsey instantly said no, assuming that Weir would go along. He was not happy when she told Jack she'd consider it, and meant it. (Lost City, part 1)
              • He followed Weir into her office to yell at her, insisting that she didn't know O'Neill and the others like he did, and telling her that he wanted O'Neill, and all of them, gone. She informed him point-blank that he was standing in her office, and that she was going to make decisions as she saw fit, not as he wanted her to -- she didn't care what his agenda was, she wasn't going to play into it just to make him happy. Kinsey stormed off. (Lost City, part 1)
          • A day or two later (the timeline got murky), while he was in a meeting with Hayes, Hammond, and Maynard, General Jumper arrived to announce that space-based radar had picked up three Goa'uld ships heading for Earth. He said that the Prometheus and the fleet of F-302s could handle it. Kinsey immediately suggested they send the Prometheus, but Hammond, while agreeing that that was true if there were no other ships coming, respectfully suggested that they not send the Prometheus out he believed it to be a feint, for Anubis to judge their defenses, and wanted to give SG-1 a chance to return with weapons technology they could use. Hayes agreed with him, and left the military at DEFCON 3. (Lost City, part 2)
            • Kinsey looked completely taken aback by Hammond's assessment (and possibly by the general agreement in the room when Hammond was speaking), unsure of how to handle it, and wound up not saying another word. He appeared completely unprepared for the idea that Earth might not be able to handle Anubis with its existing defenses. (Lost City, part 2)
          • When Anubis appeared in the middle of a meeting in the Oval Office (discussing the lack of activity on Anubis's part after the destruction of the Nimitz battle group), Kinsey panicked a bit -- but to his credit, not really significantly more than anyone else in the room. After the hologram vanished and word came that 30-plus Goa'uld ships had taken orbit around the planet, Kinsey urged Hayes to head for a bunker. Hayes refused, but told Kinsey to go. After hesitating a moment to try to talk Hayes into it, Kinsey left. (Lost City, part 2)
          • He didn't head for a bunker he went to Cheyenne Mountain, hoping to escape the planet and its destruction by heading for the alpha site. Weir was fairly contemptuous of his cowardice in trying to flee he told her that if Earth survived, she was through. (Lost City, part 2)
          • He tried to force Weir to get him offworld when Anubis tried attacking through the gate (an attack that failed only because Weir had the presence of mind to have the iris manually closed after a power failure), clearly believing that his wishes/survival mattered more than absolutely anything else. Even when SG-1 made contact with news of their trip to find Ancient weaponry, he wanted Weir to focus on him instead. (Lost City, part 2)
          • When Weir contacted Hayes (on speakerphone) to give him her opinion on what should happen next -- Prometheus should be used to buy SG-1 time to do what they needed to do -- Kinsey tried to override her, telling Hayes that her plan was insane and that he was relieving her and taking over the facility. (Lost City, part 2)
          • Hayes told Kinsey to shut the hell up, and told him to & quotconsider [Kinsey's] resignation accepted" when Kinsey objected, Hayes said he had enough on him to have him shot, then told him to shut the hell up again. (Lost City, part 2)
          • Kinsey made a few idle threats, then stormed out -- unemployed. (Lost City, part 2)
  • Alliances:
    • Earth alliances:
      • When Anubis sends three ships to test Earth's defenses (to see if Earth had managed to get hold of Ancient weaponry), Hayes ordered the military to stand at DEFCON 3, but also ordered that the governments of Russia, Great Britain, France, China, and Canada be informed about what was going on. (Lost City, part 2)
        • It isn't clear when Canada was first informed about the stargate program, but it could have been at any time, since Canada is half of NORAD, and the folks at NORAD pretty much have to have some sort of clue about what goes on in the subbasement.
  • Military:
    • Pentagon:
      • General John P. Jumper:
        • The USAF Chief of Staff. (Lost City, part 2)
        • He arrived in the Oval Office during a meeting with Hayes, Hammond, Kinsey, and Maynard to announce that space-based radar had picked up three Goa'uld ships heading for Earth. He said that the Prometheus and the fleet of F-302s could handle it, but Hammond, while agreeing that that was true if there were no other ships coming, respectfully suggested that they not send the Prometheus out he believed it to be a feint, for Anubis to judge their defenses, and wanted to give SG-1 a chance to return with weapons technology they could use. (Lost City, part 2)
        • After Anubis's attack on a Navy battle group, he reported in another Oval Office meeting (Hayes, Kinsey, Hammond, Maynard, and an unnamed woman) that although all their FA-22s and ABLs were in the air, there was nothing to attack Anubis hadn't made another move since wiping out the battle group. (Lost City, part 2)
        • After Anubis's appearance in the Oval Office and Hayes's refusal to kowtow to him, Jumper took the call that 30-plus ships had appeared in orbit around Earth. (Lost City, part 2)
        • (Outside the SG universe, General Jumper is the actual Chief of Staff of the Air Force, and was Chief of Staff during the filming of this episode. He took over as USAF Chief of Staff in September 2001, after General Michael E. Ryan retired. General Ryan, who held the office of USAF Chief of Staff from October 1997 to September 2001, also appeared as himself on the show. The only USAF Chief of Staffs active during Stargate SG-1 filming who have not appeared on the show are General Ronald R. Fogelman, who retired in early September 1997, and General Ralph E. Eberhart, who was Acting Chief of Staff for one month before General Ryan was sworn in on October 6, 1997.)
      • Maynard:
        • Present (but silent) at an Oval Office meeting with Hayes, Hammond, and Kinsey, later joined by USAF General Jumper, regarding the imminent threat of an attack by Anubis. (Lost City, part 2)
        • He took the call (on the red phone) in the Oval Office from the captain of the USS Spruance, a destroyer in the Nimitz battle group. The captain reported that a beam came out of the sky with no warning, sending the carrier up in a giant fireball while he was on the line, he reported that another cruiser just blew up, then the radio went silent. The engagement had begun just five minutes earlier, from one Goa'uld ship. (Lost City, part 2)
          • The link goes to the website of the actual USS Spruance.
    • Area 51:
      • Technology:
      • The engineering team that studied the original Ancient database technology (from Fifth Race) found nothing after six months of research. (Lost City, part 1)
        • Sam believed that the device's power source was depleted after Jack activated it. (Lost City, part 1)
• Added to Goa'uld:
  • System Lords:
    • Anubis X:
      • Shorter than Jack (and by the looks of it, shorter than everyone on SG-1 except Sam), if his hologram is an accurate reflection of his height. I'd put him at about 5'10" or 5'11" . (Lost City, part 2)
      • As of the end of seventh season (late 2003), SGC intelligence was indicating that Anubis was a serious threat to dominate the rest of the Goa'uld within a short period. (Lost City, part 1)
      • Anubis himself traveled to P3X-439 to access the Ancient repository of knowledge held within a ruined colonnade on the planet he was very unhappy to discover that the SGC (specifically, SG-1) had destroyed it before he had the chance. (Lost City, part 1)
        • Two of his kull warriors destroyed the Jaffa contingent that had been sent to protect it (and had failed to do so). (Lost City, part 1)
      • When his fleet approached Earth, he sent three ships on ahead to test Earth's defenses, to see if the Tau'ri had gained Ancient weaponry to defend themselves. (Lost City, part 2)
        • After one of his ships wiped out a group of naval ships (the Nimitz battle group) with no deadly retaliation, Anubis figured Earth was ripe for the plucking. He appeared in the Oval Office in hologram form, interrupting a meeting with Hayes, Jumper, Hammond, Kinsey, Maynard, and an unnamed woman. Hayes faced Anubis down, laughing off Anubis's demands that he bow before his god and instead offering to discuss Anubis's surrender. Anubis said that Hayes was bringing destruction down on the world Hayes said it would never happen, and Anubis vanished. (Lost City, part 2)
      • His fleet, more than 30 hataks strong, came out of hyperspace and surrounded Earth, and began attacking. (Lost City, part 2)
      • For the first two hours, they focused on power grids and broadcast terminals around the globe, knocking out communications. (Lost City, part 2)
      • Hayes shifts the military to DEFCON 1, and orders the launch of the Prometheus. (Lost City, part 2)
      • When the scout ship carrying SG-1 and Bra'tac broke out of hyperspace above Earth and headed for the south pole, Anubis sent a large contingent of al-kesh and gliders to stop it. (Lost City, part 2)
      • The Prometheus, commanded by Hammond, and its fleet of 302s arrived in time to provide cover to the scout ship, starting a dog fight over Antarctica. The Prometheus held position directly above the scout ship, protecting it, until the scout ship peeled off (with SG-1 safely underground), then headed straight for Anubis's mothership, despite a steady barrage of hits from Anubis's ship. (Lost City, part 2)
        • Realizing that someone had made it down into the chamber below the ice, Anubis sent a hologram down, hoping to convince them that he'd already gained the power of the Ancients and they were too late. Jack walked right through it. (Lost City, part 2)
        • When that didn't work, he ringed down two kull warriors, who began attacking, then another set of two. (Lost City, part 2)
      • When Herak informed him that the human attack vessel (Prometheus) was approaching, Anubis ordered it destroyed. (Lost City, part 2)
      • Before they could destroy the Prometheus, the Ancient weapon made up of small gold energy squids swept past it and began destroying Anubis's fleet. He was helpless to stop it, and his mothership exploded along with all the others. (Lost City, part 2)
      • There was no sign of an escape pod, and Hammond declared the threat eliminated. To all appearances, Anubis is dead, as of late 2003. (Lost City, part 2)
      • Kull warriors:
        • Two kull warriors destroyed the Jaffa contingent that had been sent (and failed) to protect a colonnade that housed an Ancient repository of knowledge Anubis had wanted to gain the knowledge, but SG-1 got there and blew it up before he could. (Lost City, part 1)
        • Anubis started ringing them down in pairs (at least two sets, possibly three) when Jack was working to activate the Ancient weapon beneath Antarctica. Sam, Teal'c, and Daniel held them off, taking several of them out with the new weapons specifically designed to fight kull warriors. (Lost City, part 2)
    • System Lords killed by SG-1:
      • Anubis: (Jack, with an assist from the Ancients)
• Added to Jaffa:
  • Known Jaffa:
    • Bra'tac:
      • He was the first offworld alien to come through the stargate after Dr. Elizabeth Weir took over as head of the stargate program. (Lost City, part 1)
        • When Hammond wasn't there to greet him and Daniel introduced him to Weir as the new leader of the facility, Bra'tac thought that Hammond of Texas had fallen in battle. (Lost City, part 1)
      • Bra'tac had come to bring the news that Jaffa loyal to the rebel cause had told them that Anubis was gathering his full fleet for an attack against Earth, and that he'd arrive within three days. (Lost City, part 1)
      • He and Teal'c returned to Chulak in search of ships and warriors, and joined up with a Jaffa named Ronan, the son of a Jaffa Bra'tac had known, who offered his ship if he could join them in their search for a great weapon to use against Anubis. The three of them joined the rest of SG-1 on the voyage to Praclarush Taonas. (Lost City, part 2)
      • When SG-1 called up from Praclarush to say they'd discovered that the Lost City (and its weapons) were on Earth, Bra'tac told Ronan to pilot the vessel back to the dome while he readied the transport rings to retrieve them. Ronan stabbed him in the belly with no warning, believing it to be a fatal blow. When Bra'tac said & quotI am betrayed" , Ronan sneered that Bra'tac was the betrayer, of his one true god, Anubis. (Lost City, part 2)
        • Bra'tac, with no symbiote to be fatally wounded by the stab, beat the shit out of Ronan and then killed him, much to Ronan's surprise. (Lost City, part 2)
        • He stayed on his feet just long enough to activate the rings to bring SG-1 aboard, then collapsed he remained conscious, though. He told them Ronan had been an agent of Anubis, then told Teal'c his wound was fatal (fighting with Ronan probably hadn't helped any), and that he wouldn't survive it.(Lost City, part 2)
          • Jack healed him, with the power of the Ancients. (Lost City, part 2)
      • Over Antarctica, Bra'tac held the scout ship in place while SG-1 ringed down through the hole Jack's altered matter-stream-transmitter had blasted open, then peeled off to give everyone protecting him more manueverability. (Lost City, part 2)
    • Her'ak X: (...)
      • Still Anubis's First Prime as of Anbuis's attack on Earth. (Lost City, part 2)
        • He carried the word that Earth hadn't responded to the presence of the three advance ships, and on Anubis's command ordered them to begin the attack. (Lost City, part 2)
        • With Anbusis's fleet around Earth attacking power and communication grids, Herak noticed the cargo ship that exited hyperspace inside the ring of ships and started heading for the southern pole (carrying SG-1 and Bra'tac, although Herak didn't know that). (Lost City, part 2)
        • He kept Anubis informed of all the pertinent movement during the battle, telling him when they were close enough to be in range themselves to start firing, and that the Tau'ri ship (Prometheus) had broken off from its position, and was heading straight for Anubis's mothership. (Lost City, part 2)
        • Before they could destroy the Prometheus, the Ancient weapon made up of small gold energy squids swept past it and began destroying Anubis's fleet. Anubis's mothership exploded along with all the others, with no sign of escape pods getting away. To all appearances, Herak died in the explosion, in late 2003. (Lost City, part 2)
    • Ronan X:
      • A Jaffa bearing Apophis's tattoo it's unknown who he served after Apophis died. His father and Bra'tac had known each other. He went to Bra'tac and Teal'c on Chulak when he heard they were seeking ships and warriors, and offered his ship -- on condition that he be allowed to go with them in their search for a great weapon to use against Anubis. They agreed, and the three of them joined the rest of SG-1 on the voyage to Praclarush Taonas. (Lost City, part 2)
      • When SG-1 called up from Praclarush to say they'd discovered that the Lost City (and its weapons) were on Earth, Bra'tac told Ronan to pilot the vessel back to the dome while he readied the transport rings to retrieve them. Ronan stabbed him in the belly with no warning, believing it to be a fatal blow. When Bra'tac said & quotI am betrayed" , Ronan sneered that Bra'tac was the betrayer, of his one true god, Anubis. (Lost City, part 2)
      • Bra'tac, with no symbiote to be fatally wounded by the stab, beat the shit out of Ronan and then killed him, much to Ronan's surprise. (Lost City, part 2)
• Added to Elder Races:
  • Ancients:
    • (repository of knowledge)
      • As of late seventh season, it's clear they they left more than one face-grabbing database behind SG-2 discovered a colonnade on P3X-439 that contained another. Jack downloaded that one into his brain as well, this time deliberately. (Lost City, part 1)
    • They designed the stargate address system to be pronouncable in their own language each symbol has a corresponding sound, so each address can be spoken as words. (Lost City, part 2)
    • Worlds:
      • Praclarush Taonas was another of their worlds, where they left information leading to the Lost City. By the time SG-1 arrived there by ship to check it out, the sun was a red giant, and the planet was covered with hardened lava flows. There was one anomaly -- a perfect half-sphere of raised lava, as though a forcefield had protected something beneath it when the lava flowed. (Lost City, part 2)
        • The Ancients knew what had happened to the planet before they Ascended the knowledge Jack gained from the second database led him to pack hazmat suits for the trip, and the planet's name itself means & quotlost in fire" . (Lost City, part 2)
        • When SG-1 went in to land on the surface, there were still live lava eruptions and flows all over the place. (Lost City, part 2)
        • The dome contained a chair on a dais the chair had gel-like controls in the armrest (at the point where a hand would lie) for atmosphere and a holographic map, leading to the actual Lost City -- Atlantis. It pointed SG-1 to under the ice of Antarctica. (Lost City, part 2)
        • The dais the chair rested on also contained a working power source, which Jack took. (Lost City, part 2)
    • Technology:
      • Weapons:
        • Energy squids. Which is probably not their real name, but it's what they look like a stream made up of thousands of small, gold energy squids, directed by a person sitting in a chair to attack specific targets while leaving others alone. Highly effective they targeted kull warriors, al-kesh, death gliders, and hataks, destroying them all, under Jack's guidance. (Lost City, part 2)
    • Language:
      • Atlantus:
        • Atlantis, the Lost City (Lost City, part 2)
      • aveo amacuse
        • goodbye (Lost City, part 2)
      • derentis:
        • insane, crazy (Lost City, part 1)
      • dormata:
        • sleep (Lost City, part 2)
          • (nb: the spelling could be totally wrong closed-captioning oh-so-helpfully said [speaks Ancient] for this, so I guessed. I'll try to remember to check the DVD subtitles when I get it.)
      • glaciuse:
        • ice, the ice (Lost City, part 2)
      • Praclarush Taonas:
        • & quotlost in fire" -- the name of a planet Daniel believed to hold the Lost City, although in reality it simply held clues to it. (Lost City, part 2)
      • subo:
        • under (Lost City, part 2)
      • subo glaciuse:
        • & quotunder the ice" (Lost City, part 2)
      • Terre:
        • Terra, Earth (Lost City, part 2)
  • Asgard:
    • Thor:
      • Didn't reply when the SGC sent a request that he stand by as backup in case someone from the SGC wound up with an Ancient database downloaded into his brain, based on the discovery of what appeared to be a repository of knowledge on P3X-439. (Lost City, part 1)
• Added to Miscellaneous page:
  • Nicknames:
    • Jack calls Teal'c & quotT" :
      • Lost City, part 1(when Teal'c is leaving for Chulak, and Jack's brain is about to be taken over by the Ancient database)
    • Sam calls Jack & quotJack" :
      • Lost City, part 2 (when Jack looks like he's about to die from Ancient-knowledge overload, after using the Ancient weapon to defeat Anubis)
• Added to Nitpicks page
  • Individual episodes:
    • Lost City, part 1:
      • Canon/continuity glitch. Daniel says & quotI remember when we were first trying to get the stargate to work, I used to come here [the window overlooking it] and just stare at it for hours" -- except Daniel didn't know about the stargate when he worked on the original translation. Once he figured it out, he was shown the stargate, but they tried his theory out very quickly and activated it, and he went through on the first mission.
        • Probable spackling: He was going with dramatic license, to hammer in his point as obviously as possible about how new Weir was to it all and how Daniel (and many others) were anything but new, and how much he (and others) mattered to its running.

March 7, 2004

• Changed the drop-down menu and nav table slightly, to reflect new additions and to break up the existing information into smaller chunks.
• Updated Arcs and Continuity pages through Inauguration
  • Added an arc for Daniel as an Ascendant
• Updated Episodes, Writers, and Directors through Inauguration
• Added episode summaries for all episodes to date
  • These are listed both all together on one page, navigable by episode-title links or simply by paging down through the list, and separately on individual-season pages, to cut down on load time if you're looking specifically for summaries in a given season. All the pages are accessible via the drop-down menu and the navigation table at the bottom of every page.
  • Please note, these summaries are short, and often very spoilery. They're not meant to be a complete synopsis, but only to provide enough information to remember what the episode was about to put other entries on the site into context.
• Updated Planets page through Inauguration
• Updated the Index of major terms through Inauguration
• Fixed broken links and typos throughout the site.
• Added to Jack:
  • Severe injuries:
    • Staff blast to his abdomen it would have killed him if not for the new ceramic-polymer body armor plate. (Heroes, part 2)
  • Food preferences:
    • Prefers vanilla to chocolate. (Heroes, part 1)
    • Cake (Grace, Heroes, part 1)
  • Misc.:
    • Thinks Tibet should be free. (Heroes, part 1)
    • Likes/dislikes:
      • Never lost his thing for Mary Steenburgen told Bregman if he could have dinner with anyone in the world, it would be her. (Heroes, part 1)
    • Medical/health:
      • At some point, asked Janet never to discuss & quotthe whole Hathor incident" with anyone. (Heroes, part 1)
    • Bad knees/back:
      • As of late seventh season, had had three knee surgeries during his time with the SGC. (Heroes, part 1)
• Added to Daniel:
  • Ascension and post-descending:
    • As of late seventh season, he had most of his memories of his life as an ascended being back, but there were still a few holes. (Heroes, part 1)
  • Misc.:
    • While shooting video of a wounded airman who wanted to get a last message to his wife, just in case, Daniel inadvertantly also filmed Janet Fraiser's death by a staff blast. (Heroes, part 2)
      • Although he was originally highly resistant to the idea of anyone outside the SGC ever seeing the tape, he willingly chose to leave it in Bregman's hand (he actually gave it back to Bregman, after Bregman had returned it), wanting people to know what an extraordinary person she was. (Heroes, part 2)
• Added to Sam:
• Other family:
  • After Janet's death, seemed to take over as Cassie's primary caregiver / parental figure (although Cassie would have been 18 by then, so it's unlikely the relationship would ever be formalized into adoption, even if either/both of them wanted that). (Heroes, part 2)
• Career:
  • Still considered the foremost expert on the stargate as of mid-seventh season. (Heroes, part 1)
• Misc.:
  • Couldn't come up with anything appropriate (& quotgood enough" ) to say at Janet's memorial instead, she accepted Teal'c's offer of the words he'd thought of -- a list of all the SGC members whose lives Janet had saved over the years. (Heroes, part 2)
• Added to Teal'c:
  • Career:
    • Has full security clearance at the SGC. (Inauguration)
      • nb: This was undoubtedly true long before this, with plenty of evidence to support it throughout the series once past the early days of season one, but this was the first official statement to that effect.
  • Misc.:
    • Refused to answer Bregman's questions during the filming of the documentary. (Heroes, part 1)
    • Came up with the perfect eulogy for Sam to give for Janet: a list of all the SGC members whose lives Janet had saved over the years. (Heroes, part 2)
• Added to SGC:
  • History:
• Timeline:
  • late 2003: Richard Woolsey begins a comprehensive investigation of all stargate personnel. (Inauguration)
  • November 2003: Kinsey is voted in as vice president, on a ticket with an unnamed president. (Inauguration) (nb: They never give us the date or year, but unless the SG timeline is off by a full year from the RL calendar, the presidential elections in that universe must happen in odd-numbered years, not even-numbered ones. Assuming that otherwise the election cycle is the same, November 4 was the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November in 2003, and would have been election day.)
  • late December 2003: A documentary filmmaking crew arrives at the SGC, officially to chronicle the 1,000th trip through the stargate. (Heroes, part 1)
  • late December 2003: Janet Fraiser is killed in action on P3X-666. (Heroes, part 2)
  • late 2003: As of late 2003, there had been 1,000 trips through the stargate (this doesn't actually work see the nitpick about it) (Heroes, part 1)
  • January 21, 2004: On his first working day in office, the new president is briefed about the stargate program. In turn, he confronts Kinsey and demands to know why Kinsey never said anything, then insists that if Kinsey wants him to clean house at the SGC, he'll have to convince the president that he's right. He then continues reading mission reports into the night, with the chairman of the Joint Chiefs keeping him company to help explain things. (Inauguration)
    • (nb: The date and year are a guess, based on my assumption that the SG universe's calendar is relatively consistent with the RL calendar [i.e., it's not off by a full year or more, but rather by no more than a few months], and that therefore in the SG universe presidential elections are held in odd-numbered years, meaning that presidents are sworn in in even-numbered years. I also assume that other than that difference, the election cycle is the same, making January 20 the traditional inauguration day. My final assumption is that the nighttime conversation between the president and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs happens on the same day.)
  • January 22, 2004: Kinsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and Woolsey all meet with the president so Woolsey can present his findings about the SGC. That evening, he meets with Kinsey and discovers that Kinsey has a separate, personal agenda, probably related to the rogue NID. (Inauguration)
    • (nb: The date is a guess, based on the assumption that January 20 was inauguration day, and that the episode wasn't skipping days without telling us this was definitely a different day than the initial briefing and confrontation.) January 23, 2004: Woolsey goes to General Maynard with his suspicions about Kinsey Maynard tells him to find proof. (Inauguration)
  • January 24, 2004: Woolsey goes back to the SGC and convinces Hammond to hand over the evidence the SGC has been holding against Kinsey for three years Woolsey is not happy about finding out that he's basically working for the rogue NID, and wants to do what he can to take them down (or at least Kinsey). That evening, he presents the disk to the president in a private meeting. (Inauguration)
    • (nb: As with all dates in this episode, this is a guess, working off the initial assumption of January 20 as inauguration day. My belief is that Woolsey briefed the president and had his talk with Kinsey in one day and night had his talk with Maynard the next night [there are daylight scenes between the evening scenes with Kinsey and the evening scenes with Maynard], and traveled to the SGC the next day (definitely daylight again), returning to Washington the same day for an evening meeting with the president (definitely dark out), so as to hand over the evidence as quickly as possible. I could be wrong about specific dates, but certainly all of these events at least happened in the order they're presented here, if not on the precise day.)
• Earth's stargates:
  • General info:
    • The SGC's stargate draws 10% more wattage than offworld stargates (connected to DHDs), far exceeding any potential loss from the manmade interface. (Heroes, part 1)
      • This is possibly because of the way the superconductive crystals inside the stargate itself absorb electrical energy. (Heroes, part 1)
      • Another possible reason is that the DHDs produce a purer, more efficient form of power. (Heroes, part 1)
• Technology:
  • Naquadah
    • Naquadah-enhanced bomb
      • Anna/Sekhmet used it to try to destroy Los Angeles in a bid for freedom. (Resurrection)
      • (nb: It's possible that Barrett and the NID took this, but it's much more likely that the SGC took it to give to Area 51 for study.)
  • Tau'ri (converted or invented):
    • Armor plating
      • Since Kevlar won't stop the force of a staff blast, and regular armor plating in other bulletproof protection gets superheated from the plasma (thus literally cooking whoever's wearing it), the SGC began working on a new type of body armor. It's a ceramic polymer (fairly flexible) that resists the heat, stops the force of the blast (so it doesn't penetrate), and fits into the abdomen/sides of a standard SGC-issue vest. (Heroes, part 1)
• Added to SGC Personnel:
  • Dr. Cameron Balinsky:
    • (nb: first name taken from credits found online at IMDB and rdanderson.com)
    • Civilian archaeologist assigned to SG-13. (Heroes, part 1)
      • (Not stated aloud that he's a civilian, but Dixon addresses him as & quotdoctor" once, never by a rank, and his general attitude relaxed attitude toward ranking officers suggests civilian). (Heroes, part 1)
    • On P3X-666, he took the bets on what they'd find on the planet he went with & quotruins of an ancient city" , and won.(Heroes, part 1)
    • While exploring the city (which turned out to actually be an Ancient city, not just old), he came across a Goa'uld version of a heavily armed and shielded MALP. (Heroes, part 1)
    • After SG-13 took out the Goa'uld remote probe, Balinsky asked for and got permission for them to stay longer, to explore the ruins. (Heroes, part 1)
    • When Jaffa ambushed Wells and Bosworth, Balinsky headed for the gate and the SGC on Dixon's order, to report. (Heroes, part 1)
  • Senior Airman Jake Bosworth:
    • (nb: rank and first name taken from credits found online at IMDB and rdanderson.com)
    • Member of SG-13. (Heroes, part 1)
    • He was disqualified from the betting on what they'd find on P3X-666 because he went with & quottrees" Dixon declared him a smartass. (Heroes, part 1)
    • He was with Wells when Wells got hit with a staff blast from behind, and radioed for help. (Heroes, part 1)
  • Sgt. Davis:
    • He was interviewed for the documentary being filmed by Emmet Bregman, giving a blow-by-blow description of his job for the camera. (Heroes, part 1)
  • Colonel Dave Dixon:
    • Commander of SG-13. (Heroes, part 1)
    • Has four kids the oldest two are boys, no idea about the other two. (Heroes, part 1)
    • During the betting on what the team would find on P3X-666, he went with a two-headed alien -- one head hostile, one head friendly. (Heroes, part 1)
  • Fraiser:
    • Was very relaxed and comfortable being on camera for Emmett Bregman's documentary film about the SGC. (Heroes, part 1)
    • Seemed to be having a good time flirting with Bregman. (Heroes, part 1)
    • Was assigned to go to P3X-666 with SGs 1, 5, and 7, for a rescue of SGs 13 and 3, particuarly Wells, who was badly injured by a staff blast to the back. (Heroes, part 1)
      • While she was treating Wells, she was killed by a staff blast. (Heroes, part 2)
      • Her death became a part of the documentary film, after Bregman forced the SGC to give up the tape Daniel had inadvertantly shot of it although Bregman, after seeing it, was more than willing to leave it out, Daniel thought people should know what an extraordinary woman she was. (Heroes, part 2)
    • At her memorial service in the SGC, Sam spoke, using something Teal'c had given her: a list of all the SGC men and women who were alive and well thanks to Janet. (Heroes, part 2)
  • Hammond:
    • Career:
      • Was not at all happy that a documentary crew had been assigned to the SGC. He insisted on personally briefing Bregman before allowing him access to anything, making it clear that he wouldn't allow him to endanger any of his people in any way. (Heroes, part 1)
        • He agreed to cooperate with Bregman & quotto the letter of these orders" granting him clearance to film, and not an inch further. (Heroes, part 1)
          • The key phrase was & quotExempt from said clearance are all current activities which have not yet been reviewed by this office [the Pentagon]" . Hammond's interpretation was that Bregman had no clearance to view or film any activity surrounding an ongoing mission, up to and including gate travel. (Heroes, part 1)
        • Shortly after his & quotmeeting" with Woolsey (below), Hammond found out that Bregman had tried to get into the infirmary, and decided to kick him off the base. Bregman wasn't happy Hammond didn't care. (Heroes, part 2)
        • Bregman had too much pull after kicking him out, Hammond was ordered to hand over the tape that Daniel had shot on P3X-666. He decided to do so (rather than having the tape be & quotaccidentally" lost or damaged) because thanks to the new NID investigation, he thought maybe there should be something on record other than classified military and NID reports. (Heroes, part 2)
        • Eventually he relented completely Bregman and co were at Janet's memorial at the SGC, which has to have been with Hammond's blessing. (Heroes, part 2)
        • Bregman gave him a preview of the documentary Hammond thought it was very good, not too sentimental. (Heroes, part 2)
          • He believed that the film might be the & quotsomething more" that the next of kin of slain airmen deserve to hear, other than just the letters he sends. (Heroes, part 2)
          • He even ordered Jack to give Bregman a genuine interview, to round off the film. (Heroes, part 2)
      • Was very, very angry when Kinsey sent Woolsey in to pass judgement on the SGC (and more specifically, Hammond himself) for the actions taken to rescue SG-13 on P3X-666. (Heroes, part 2)
        • When it was his turn to be & quotinterviewed" (more like interrogated), he tossed his mission report on the desk, calling it a written testimony. (Heroes, part 2)
        • Woolsey had the sense not to push it, and declared himself done he'd have a preliminary report for the president by the end of the week. (Heroes, part 2)
        • Hammond countered by bringing up Woolsey's memo on the economics of the SGC, clearly implying that Woolsey had attached a specific dollar amount as the value of someone's life. (Heroes, part 2)
        • Woolsey instantly and strongly denied putting a dollar value on someone's life, but Hammond again countered by saying that Woolsey had said in black and white that it was & quota bad business decision" to send a rescue team worth $27 million to save the life of one person. (Heroes, part 2)
        • Since Woolsey was so eager to have secrets brought to light, Hammond suggested that they go down to the documentary team and give them the whole truth of the SGC situation as Woolsey saw it. (Heroes, part 2)
        • Woolsey's reponse was: & quotThat memo is classified. This investigation is classified. If you so much as utter even as a hint of either, I'll see you are put away in a cold, dark place for the rest of time." (Heroes, part 2)
      • Wasn't happy to see Woolsey return to the SGC, even when it turned out Woolsey was there because he'd decided that Kinsey was a bad guy, and he wanted to take him down. (Inauguration)
        • Woolsey traveled to the SGC to ask Hammond directly about what had happened when he'd resigned and then returned to work. He'd figured out that Hammond was being blackmailed, and wanted whatever Hammond had on Kinsey that had allowed him to return to the SGC. He wanted the evidence to use against Kinsey and the rogue NID. He pointed out that Hammond must know what was going down in Washington, with Kinsey's latest attempt to sieze control of the stargate Hammond gave him a copy of the disk of information Jack and Maybourne had gotten against Kinsey. (Inauguration)
        • Despite handing over the disk, Hammond still wasn't sure he could trust Woolsey. (Inauguration)
  • Major Ian Hules:
    • Alive and well thanks to Janet Fraiser's skill. (No idea what the injury/illness was, or what unit he was with.) (Heroes, part 2)
  • Dr. Lee:
    • For his part of the documentary conducted by Emmett Bregman, Lee explained a new type of body armor plating the SGC was developing, to help SG personnel survive staff blasts. (Heroes, part 1)
    • He was called in to help Teal'c figure out how to disarm the bomb that Sekhmet/Anna had set in the abandoned industrial complex in Los Angeles, after she killed everyone but Keffler. (Resurrection)
      • He tried to reprogram the timer on the bomb, but accidentally speeded it up -- they went from having probably more than ten hours, to having less than two. (Resurrection)
      • When they got the bomb turned off thanks to Anna's drawing that Daniel gave them, Lee happily tried to do a high-five with Teal'c -- who wasn't interested. (Resurrection)
  • Reynolds:
    • Assuming he was still in command of SG-3 (no reason for him not to be), he went with his team to P3X-666 to provide backup for SG-13 while they stayed on the planet to explore some ruins, just in case Goa'uld or Jaffa showed up. As it happened, they showed up in spades, but SG-3 had no reported deaths or even injuries. (Heroes, part 2)
  • Colonel Tom Rundell:
    • Cheyenne Mountain Complex Public Affairs Liaison. (Heroes, part 1)
      • (nb: it's entirely possible that he's not technically SGC personnel, but since he was acting specifically as the SGC's PR guy, this is where I'm putting him.)
    • He was assigned to babysit Emmett Bregman and his camera crew during their documentary of the SGC. (Heroes, part 1)
    • Had his own ideas about how best to do the documentary, saying he thought it should be cinema verite. (Heroes, part 1)
    • He seemed to be trying to be relatively helpful for the most part, but at the same time was clearly sympathetic to the SGC's closed-door policy on active missions, and steadily blocked Bregman from seeing any of it. (Heroes, part 2)
    • He brought Bregman, James, and Wickenhouse the information that Jack had been shot, and was possibly the casualty they'd heard about. (Heroes, part 2)
    • He reported to Hammond that Bregman had been caught trying to sneak into the infirmary when Hammond decided to kick Bregman and his team off the base, Rundell gave them the word (and stood over the airmen while they packed, pretty much). (Heroes, part 2)
  • Siler:
    • He was the guinea pig in a live test of the new ceramic-polymer plating that was designed to slip into the sides of a standard-issue SG vest to protect the wearer from staff-weapon blasts (stopping the force and absorbing the heat). The blast threw him back against a (padded) wall and caught his vest/shirt on fire an airman had to use an extinguisher on him. The experience landed him in the infirmary to get patched up for burns. (Heroes, part 1)
  • Sergeant Connie Smith:
    • Alive thanks to Janet Fraiser's skill as a doctor. (No idea of what her injury was, or what unit she was with.) (Heroes, part 2)
  • Senior Airman Simon Wells:
    • Member of SG-13. (Heroes, part 1)
    • His wife, Marci, was pregnant with their first child when SG-13 went to P3X-666. (Heroes, part 1)
    • On P3X-666, his vote for what they'd encounter was an abandonded naquadah mine. (Heroes, part 1)
    • Immediately after he and Bosworth were told to head back to the stargate to return home, Wells took a staff blast to the back and went down. (Heroes, part 1)
    • He was very badly injured at first he couldn't even feel his legs. (Heroes, part 2)
    • Janet and Daniel arrived to help him while the other SG teams went to hold off the Jaffa as best as possible. He was convinced he was going to die, and asked Daniel to film him he wanted to tell his wife he loved her. (Heroes, part 2)
    • Another staff blast missed him by inches, striking and killing Janet instead. (Heroes, part 2)
    • He made it back safely, but blamed himself for Janet's death, believing she'd died because of him. Daniel told him it wasn't his fault. (Heroes, part 2)
    • A couple of weeks after he made it back, Marci gave birth to their daughter -- Janet. (Heroes, part 2)
• Added to SG Units:

  • General info:

    • Since Kevlar won't stop the force of a staff blast, and regular armor plating in other bulletproof protection gets superheated from the plasma (thus literally cooking whoever's wearing it), the SGC began working on a new type of body armor, available as of late seventh season. It's a ceramic polymer (fairly flexible) that resists the heat, stops the force of the blast (so it doesn't penetrate), and fits into the abdomen/sides of a standard SGC-issue vest. (Heroes, part 1)
  • SG-3: (...)
    • Sent in as backup for SG-13 on P3X-666, when SG-13 requested permission to stay longer to explore some ruins, after dealing with a Goa'uld MALP (but with no other signs of Goa'uld activity). They were covering the gate when Jaffa arrived in ship and ambushed Wells and Bosworth of SG-13. Half of them were still there when Balinsky made it back and went through to the SGC to report. (Heroes, part 1)
      • No reported deaths during the fighting. (Heroes, part 2)
  • SG-5: (...)
    • Went with SG-1 and SG-7 to give backup to SGs 13 and 3, trapped under Jaffa fire on P3X-666. They all knew it was an ambush, but went in anyway. (Heroes, part 1)
      • No reported deaths during the fighting. (Heroes, part 2)
  • SG-7: (...)
    • Went with SG-1 and SG-5 to give backup to SGs 13 and 3, trapped under Jaffa fire on P3X-666. They all knew it was an ambush, but went in anyway. (Heroes, part 1)
      • No reported deaths during the fighting. (Heroes, part 2)
  • SG-13:
    • Consisted of Colonel Dave Dixon (team leader), Balinsky (civilian archaeologist), Bosworth, and Wells. (Heroes, part 1)
    • At some point they were assigned to P2X-787, where they ran into an alien being that looked vaguely like a sonogram of a human fetus. (At least, according to Bosworth, looking at the sonogram of Wells's unborn child.) (Heroes, part 1)
    • The team had a tradition of making bets on what they'd find on new planets Balinsky appeared to be the one who regularly recorded the bets. (Heroes, part 1)
    • They were assigned to check out P3X-666, a planet where the MALP had reported no recent signs of Goa'uld activity. They found an Ancient city, but during Balinsky's initial exploration he ran across a Goa'uld version of a MALP (armed and shielded, as well as gathering information). They took it out, but not before it sent off a signal about them. (Heroes, part 1)
      • Balinsky wanted to stay on the planet longer to explore the ruins (at least a day or two), and the team got permission to remain for a while, with SG-3 sent in to back them up. (Heroes, part 1)
      • Jaffa began attacking, shooting Wells in the back and pinning down Dixon and Bosworth, who stayed to help Wells. Balinsky made it back through the gate to let the SGC know what was going on. (Heroes, part 1)
      • The entire team made it back home alive, although Wells was injured pretty badly. (Heroes, part 2)
• Added to Non-SGC:
  • Government:
    • U.S. President:
      • Seasons 1-7:
        • As one of his final acts in office regarding the stargate, he assigned Emmett Bregman to film a documentary about the stargate program, insisting that the SGC cooperate. (Heroes, parts 1& 2)
      • Season 7-8:
        • Seasons 7-8:
          • Name unknown. (Inauguration)
            • (epguides.com credits say Henry Hayes, but it's never mentioned in the episode imdb lists him as President Hayes, no first name)
          • His Chief of Staff (presumably) is Stan, last name unknown. (Inauguration)
          • His secretary's name is Holly. (Inauguration)
          • His first meeting on his first working day in office was with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Francis Maynard, who briefed him on the stargate program. The president didn't believe him at first. (Inauguration)
          • He was not at all happy to find out that Kinsey had known all about the program all along, and hadn't breathed a word of it to him. (Inauguration)
          • When Kinsey started right in on demanding that they clean house at the SGC, replacing all current personnel, the president balked. He balked even more when Kinsey brought God into it, insisting that Kinsey convince him he's right if he wanted the president to agree with him. (Inauguration)
          • Had little patience and no respect for Kinsey's religious fanatacism. (Inauguration)
          • Was well aware of Kinsey's ambitious streak, and under no illusions about the sort of man he was, clearly making the connection between Kinsey and the rogue NID. (Inauguration)
          • When Kinsey made slightly veiled references to & quotyou know why you're here" (meaning the campaign financing Kinsey had brought to their ticket) in an attempt to get the president to back him on the SGC issue, the president calmly replied that he was there because the people had elected him & quotto run their country, not the whole damn galaxy" , and that it was his office, not Kinsey's. (Inauguration)
          • After reading many reports, hearing Kinsey's and Woolsey's take, listening to Maynard's view of things (including his plea that the SGC be left intact while they hunted for the Lost City, to find a weapon to use against Anubis), and considering some of the political ramifications when the stargate program finally became public knowledge, the president had reached an initial conclusion: & quotHammond and SG-1 have done an extraordinary job under very difficult circumstances, but in doing so, they've made some mistakes. They've made some enemies, and frankly, I don't know if I can protect them." (Inauguration)
          • When Woolsey returned for a private meeting, explaining the existence of the rogue NID and its backers, the president said he knew all about it, and only hoped that money had been their chief motivation for running the rogue program -- but he doubted it. (Inauguration)
            • He basically expected Woolsey to tell him that Kinsey was still in league with the rogue NID he was perfectly aware that the rogue NID would have been willing to take the price off Kinsey's head in return for the complete control over the stargate afforded by the White House. (Inauguration)
            • Woolsey left the incriminating disk with the president. (Inauguration)
    • Senator/VP Kinsey:
      • (First name not revealed until late season seven, in Inauguration)
      • Political offices:
        • Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Commitee: seasons 1-6
        • Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Oversight Committee: seasons 6-1
        • Vice President: seasons 7-8
          • Assistant/secretary's name is Sara. (Inauguration)
      • Has been under a special executive gag order since he first found out about the stargate program. (Inauguration)
      • Moved up to Chairman of the Intelligence Oversight Committee not clear if he'd been chairman from the beginning, but that would be strange for someone who'd apparently never even been on the committee before. In any event, he was chairman within a year or so of joining the committee. (Heroes, part 2)
      • Returned to the SGC for the first time in two years to be part of the documentary being filmed by Emmett Bregman. (Heroes, part 1)
        • He smarmed his way through the interview, hammering in how important he thought the program was and how much he supported it. When Bregman asked him to redo the interview a bit more off-the-cuff, with Bregman just throwing questions at him, Kinsey flatly refused. (Heroes, part 1)
        • With Bregman on his heels, he deliberately sought Jack out in an apparent effort to get a show of bonhomie between them on camera Jack was less than cooperative with that plan. (Heroes, part 1)
      • After making sure the camera crew heard him praising the SGC to the skies, Kinsey sent Woolsey in to review Hammond's command decision to rescue SG-13. This was part of a broader examination of the SGC's strategic policy that the Intelligence Oversight Committee was conducting for a report meant for the president. (Heroes, part 2)
      • Made it into office on the presidential ticket, but as vice president, not president. That didn't seem to bother him much he'd provided a lot of financial assitance to get the president elected, and seemed to believe that that would give him a certain amount of authority in presidential decisions -- particularly regarding the stargate program. (Inauguration)
      • As soon as the president was briefed about the stargate program, Kinsey started in on urging him to clean house immediately, replacing all current personnel. (Inauguration)
      • When it looked like the president was being less than swayed by Woolsey's arguments in favor of cleaning house at the SGC in a wider meeting the next day, Kinsey took advantage of a break in the meeting to confront the president and demand that he take action. When the president said he wanted time to absorb it, that he wanted to know more, Kinsey resorted to veiled threats about & quotyou know why you're here" , referring to the campaign financing he'd brought to their ticket and implying that that should put the president in his pocket. The president clearly didn't agree. (Inauguration)
    • Senator McKnight:
      • Apparently got elected & quoton the coattails" of the new president and Kinsey's win. (Inauguration)
  • Military:
    • Pentagon/other:
      • Tech Sergeant Dale James:
        • A cameraman who was working for Emmett Bregman while he was making his documentary about the SGC. (Heroes, part 1)
        • Although he got along well with Bregman for the most part, he flatly refused to do anything that he wasn't authorized to do, saying he wouldn't risk court-martial. (Heroes, part 1)
        • He and Wickenhouse did some digging to find out what had happened on the mission to P3X-666, and found out about the rescue (although they heard only about SG-1 and SG-5 going, not SG-7) and that one person was possibly dead. (Heroes, part 2)
        • He was pretty shaken to see the film that Daniel had shot, first of Wells's screaming through his injury, then Janet's death. (Heroes, part 2)
        • He was present at Janet's memorial at the SGC, as the crew filmed it to be part of the documentary. (Heroes, part 2)
      • General Francis Maynard:
        • Four-star general. (Inauguration)
        • Army general he wears a cavalry patch as well. (Inauguration)
        • Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff as of 2003/2004. (Inauguration)
        • He briefed the new president on the stargate program as the president's first meeting on his first working day in office. (Inauguration)
          • He continued the briefing (sticking around as the president read reports) for at least part of the day he appeared comfortable enough with the president (who called him by his first name) to admit that he didn't particuarly trust the vice president, and thought he had his own agenda -- to control the stargate. (Inauguration)
        • He came back for more meetings with Kinsey and Woolsey to provide a balancing point of view. (Inauguration)
        • He wasn't happy that Hammond hadn't been invited to meetings that questioned the integrity of his command. (Inauguration)
        • After doing his best to convince the president of the importance of leaving the SGC alone, at least until they could find the Lost City, he wasn't particularly happy to hear that the president was taking political considerations into account, as well. (Inauguration)
        • When a troubled Woolsey came to him with vague allegations that Kinsey was probably involved in something unsavory, Maynard called him on it, telling him that if Woolsey believed there was proof out there, he should find it. (Inauguration)
      • Airman First Class Shep Wickenhouse:
        • The sound guy working with Emmett Bregman while he was making his documentary about the SGC. (Heroes, part 1)
        • He and James did some digging to find out what had happened on the mission to P3X-666, and found out about the rescue (although they heard only about SG-1 and SG-5 going, not SG-7) and that one person was possibly dead. (Heroes, part 2)
        • He was pretty shaken to see the film that Daniel had shot, first of Wells's screaming through his injury, then Janet's death. (Heroes, part 2)
        • He was present at Janet's memorial at the SGC, filming it to be part of the documentary. (Heroes, part 2)
    • NID:
      • General info:
        • As of late seventh season, the NID was still trying to locate rogue sleeper cells. (Resurrection)
      • Personnel:
        • Barrett:
          • When Sam called him looking for information about Woolsey, he told her that he was clean, but had a reputuation for being as sharp as they come, listing off his academic degrees and his jobs over the years. He also faxed her an internal NID memo that Woolsey had written, all about Woolsey's financial take on the SGC, and basically how much each soldier's life was worth in cold hard cash. (Heroes, part 2)
          • Called in SG-1 when a rogue NID cell that was working on a human/Goa'uld hybrid was found almost completely obliterated the cell's base was full of artifacts that he wanted Daniel to check out, and he wanted Sam to see the technological research facilities. (Resurrection)
            • He and Sam had developed a comfortable working relationship during their interactions with each other, to the point of friendly teasing. (Resurrection)
              • When Sam thanked him for sending the Woolsey memo, he took his chance to ask her out he was surprised to find out she was seeing someone. (Resurrection)
            • When Keffler refused to give them any information about how to turn off the bomb that the human/Goa'uld hybrid, Anna, had armed, Barrett lost his temper and went after him physically. (Resurrection)
            • He didn't quite understand what a difference a ten-pound block of naquadah could make in a bomb, and at first didn't believe Dr. Lee when Lee suggested it would take out an area roughly the size of Orange County. (Resurrection)
            • He began evacuating the area in case the bomb went off, but couldn't even begin to clear enough room. (Resurrection)
            • With roughly 42 minutes to go before the bomb went off, 10 city blocks had been evacuated -- not nearly enough. (Resurrection)
        • Richard Woolsey:
          • Has an MA and an LLB from Harvard. (Heroes, part 2)
          • He was lead counsel for the Army Corps of Engineers for ten years. (Heroes, part 2)
          • After the job with the Army Corps of Engineers, he sat on the Defense Policy Board. (Heroes, part 2)
            • He was asked to resign when it was disclosed that he had close financial ties to a corporation that had been awarded $800 million in private-sector defense contracts. (Heroes, part 2)
          • He's been with the NID since leaving the Defense Policy Board. (Heroes, part 2)
          • He wrote an internal NID memo on the economics of the SGC, attributing a specific dollar value to an SG team member based on training and other resources. (Heroes, part 2)
          • Sent to the SGC by Kinsey, who asked that he review Hammond's command decision to send teams in to rescue SG-13. This was part of a broader investigation of the SGC's strategic policy that the Intelligence Oversight Committee was conducting, to compile a report for the president. (Heroes, part 2)
          • Woolsey himself was appalled at the amount of money being funneled into the SGC with no public awareness -- millions of dollars in training alone, and that was just a fraction of the total cost. He believed it was reprehensible that the public was paying so much for little or no return, and all without knowing it. (Heroes, part 2)
          • He & quotinterviewed" Sam, Daniel, and Teal'c, being fairly insulting and hostile, and basically getting nothing out of any of them beyond & quotthis is our job, this is what we do" . (Heroes, part 2)
            • He went so far as to threaten to throw Daniel in jail. (Heroes, part 2)
          • When Hammond showed up for his interview, he tossed a folder on the desk and announced that he'd prepared a written testimony - his mission report. (Heroes, part 2)
            • Woolsey had the sense not to push it, and declared himself done he'd have a preliminary report for the president by the end of the week. (Heroes, part 2)
            • Hammond countered by bringing up Woolsey's memo on the economics of the SGC, clearly implying that Woolsey had attached a specific dollar amount as the value of someone's life. (Heroes, part 2)
            • Woolsey instantly and strongly denied putting a dollar value on someone's life, but Hammond again countered by saying that Woolsey had said in black and white that it was & quota bad business decision" to send a rescue team worth $27 million to save the life of one person. (Heroes, part 2)
            • Since Woolsey was so eager to have secrets brought to light, Hammond suggested that they go down to the documentary team and give them the whole truth of the SGC situation as Woolsey saw it. (Heroes, part 2)
            • Woolsey's reponse was: & quotThat memo is classified. This investigation is classified. If you so much as utter even as a hint of either, I'll see you are put away in a cold, dark place for the rest of time." (Heroes, part 2)
          • He considers himself an honorable, impartial man, whose meticulous research provides solid arguments for others to consider, with no personal agenda on his part one way or the other. (Inauguration)
            • For all his & quotthorough" investigating, he managed to totally miss the fact that Sam was implanted with a Tok'ra, not a Goa'uld. (Inauguration)
          • He presented his findings about the SGC to the new president, confident that they'd convince him to clean house right away. (Inauguration)
            • He seemed genuinely concerned that SGC personnel, and particularly SG-1, could be under alien influences at any given moment, believing them to be susceptible to it (with their histories as evidence). (Inauguration)
          • He appeared surprised, troubled, and uncomfortable when Kinsey leapt on the idea that Jack and Sam had an inappropriate relationship. (Inauguration)
          • He appeared equally surprised and unhappy when Kinsey told him their meeting with the president had been just a formality he truly believed in what he was doing, and seemed uncomfortable with Kinsey's instant, cheerful politicizing of it. When Kinsey, still cheerful, assured Woolsey that the president would see things his way, Woolsey asked & quotwhat if he doesn't" when Kinsey went on to chuckle and say (rather darkly) that & quotthings happen" and that & quotone way or another" he was going to & quotwin this one" , Woolsey was extremely troubled. (Inauguration)
          • He was disturbed enough by his new reading of Kinsey that he went secretly to General Maynard with his concerns. He told him that he believed Kinsey was connected to people who would & quotdo anything" to fulfill their aims, including assassination, although he never quite went so far as to say Kinsey was actively a part of the rogue NID. (Inauguration)
            • Maynard told him to find the proof, if he believed it existed. (Inauguration)
            • He figured out that Kinsey must somehow still be connected to the rogue NID, despite the assassination attempt on Kinsey and Kinsey's attempt, in return, to take the rogue NID down. He deduced that something must have happened to make Kinsey attractive to the rogue NID again -- presumably the opportunity to propel Kinsey onto the presidential ticket. (Inauguration)
            • Woolsey traveled to the SGC to ask Hammond directly about what had happened when he'd resigned and then returned to work. He'd figured out that Hammond was being blackmailed, and wanted whatever Hammond had on Kinsey that had allowed him to return to the SGC. He wanted the evidence to use against Kinsey and the rogue NID. He pointed out that Hammond must know what was going down in Washington, with Kinsey's latest attempt to sieze control of the stargate Hammond gave him a copy of the disk of information Jack and Maybourne had gotten against Kinsey. (Inauguration)
            • He brought the disk to the president. (Inauguration)
      • Rogue NID:
        • Despite having had many of their backers and leaders arrested, rogue NID sleeper cells were still around and active as of late seventh season, operating with what appeared to be nearly limitless resources. (Resurrection)
        • Had a sleeper cell in an abandoned industrial complex in Los Angeles, headed by Dr. Keffler. (Resurrection)
          • The cell was dedicated to creating a human/Goa'uld hybrid from a human ovum and DNA taken from Sekhmet. (Resurrection)
            • They wanted access to the Goa'uld's knowledge in a controllable form. (Resurrection)
            • They took Argosian nanites from Area 51 to make the hybrid grow quickly, to allow them access to the Goa'uld genetic knowledge. (Resurrection)
            • It took 45 failures before they got it right, and created Anna. (Resurrection)
              • The failures either didn't blend properly, or grew too fast and died. (Resurrection)
              • The technology had to be modified so the human part could slowly gain access to the knowledge in her Goa'uld DNA. (Resurrection)
              • They never isolated the gene that carried the Goa'uld genetic knowledge the goal was to gain knowledge, not to create a viable living organism. (Resurrection)
                • As a result, the hybrid was doomed from the start. There was no way to isolate the Goa'uld DNA, and in fact it would eventually completely overwrite the human DNA, and the hybrid would die, horribly and painfully. (Resurrection)
          • They had lots of artifacts originally found by the Napoleon and later recovered by the Nazis. (Resurrection)
          • The cell was almost completely wiped out overnight when the regular NID arrived in response to an intercepted 911 call, they found 32 casualties (all dead), including a 6-man security team. Only Keffler had survived, unharmed. (Resurrection)
            • Anna, the hybrid, had killed them all in her Sekhmet persona. (Resurrection)
            • It's possible that the other scientists were going to stop Keffler's experiment or otherwise interfere with him he deliberately brought out the Sekhmet personality and released her from her cage, then did nothing to stop her from killing everyone but him. (Resurrection)
        • Members:
          • Dr. Keffler X:
          • He was the son of a convicted Nazi war criminal. (Resurrection)
          • Smoker. (Resurrection)
          • Had a heart condition that required nitro pills. (Resurrection)
          • Headed a rogue NID sleeper cell dedicated to creating a human/Goa'uld hybrid, using DNA from Sekhmet, found in a canopic jar. After 45 failures, he succeeded with Anna, although not very well the way he designed her, she was only going to last a few years before facing a slow, painful death. (Resurrection)
            • He hadn't expected her to develop a separate Sekhmet personality, one capable of acting on its own. (Resurrection)
              • He told the Sekhmet personality that he had the ability to give her complete control over the body, and that he'd do it if she told him everything he wanted to know. (Resurrection)
            • He didn't see Anna as a person, but as a device to gain knowledge that would level the playing field against the Goa'uld. (Resurrection)
            • He videotaped all of his sessions with Anna, to document the research. (Resurrection)
            • He told Anna she could be normal, be cured, be free, if she would give him the information he wanted -- information she had no access to with her conscious mind. (Resurrection)
            • He used torture/pain deliberately to bring the Sekhmet personality to the fore, by shocking her using a remote control, then told her that he would give her her freedom (and leave her alive) in exchange for the secrets of the Goa'uld. (Resurrection)
              • It was a complete lie the way the hybrid DNA had been blended, there was no way to isolate the Goa'uld part, which would eventually physically overwrite the human DNA and condemn the hybrid to a horrible, painful death. There was no way to prevent it. (Resurrection)
                • Keffler placed a capsule of biotoxin at the base of her brain, to be released by remote control when her suffering became too great. (Resurrection)
            • It's possible that the other scientists were going to shut down the program Keffler deliberately brought the Sekhmet personality out using the remote control to shock her, then let her out of her cage and did nothing to stop her when she killed everyone but him. (Resurrection)
            • He was smug and arrogant when facing questioning, but wilted quickly when threatened with direct physical violence. When the immediate threat was removed, he went back to being arrogant. (Resurrection)
            • He tried to make a deal with Barrett and Sam: he would get Anna to tell them how to turn off the bomb, in return for his freedom. (Resurrection)
            • When he realized Anna/Sekhmet was loose in the building, outside his control, he panicked and staged a heart problem to get close enough to his guard to knock him out, so he could escape. (Resurrection)
            • He made it into the depths of the complex, but Anna caught up to him and shot him point-blank in the chest, killing him. (Resurrection)
      • Timeline (interactions with SGC):
        • Agent Barrett called in SG-1 to help him deal with a destroyed rogue NID sleeper cell, to figure out what had happened. Together they discovered that the cell had created a human/Goa'uld hybrid, Anna, using DNA from the Goa'uld Sekhmet. They had to figure out how to disarm a bomb Anna's Sekhmet alter-ego had armed before it took out all of Orange County. (Resurrection)
• Added to Misc. Tau'ri:
  • Anna X:
    • A human/Goa'uld hybrid engineered by Dr. Keffler, using Sekhmet's DNA for the Goa'uld part and Argosian nanites to rapidly age her so he could get information from her as soon as possible. (Resurrection)
      • She only remembered a single birthday. (Resurrection)
    • She spent her entire (short) life living in a clear-walled cage inside an abandoned industrial complex in Los Angeles. (Resurrection)
    • She had no conscious control over, or even awareness of, the part of her that was Sekhmet. All she knew was that she had terrible dreams, and sometimes blackouts. (Resurrection)
    • Keffler kept her provided with paper and charcoals, so she could draw the things she saw in her dreams. She didn't like the images, but Keffler would hurt her if she tried to take them down off the walls. (Resurrection)
    • She was tortured to try to force her to access the knowledge in her Goa'uld DNA: sensory deprivation, electrocution, possibly more. (Resurrection)
      • When the Sekhmet personality emerged, the human Anna had no idea what was happening she thought she'd blacked out each time. (Resurrection)
    • As Sekhmet, she got free of her cell and murdered everyone in the complex, except Keffler, then armed a bomb in a golden ark, set to go off in roughly a day. It had a ten-pound block of naquadah in it, to enhance the explosion. (Resurrection)
    • Anna had no clue what & quotSekhmet" had done, and was very disturbed when Daniel explained to her what was going on. (Resurrection)
    • She couldn't remember how to disarm the bomb, no matter how hard she tried, so Daniel talked her into trying meditation. (Resurrection)
      • Daniel guided her through the meditation, using imagery specifically designed to recall Sekhmet (a great pyramid carvings of snakes flanking a golden throne a window through which thousands of people can be seen, slaves who worship her as a god, over whom she has total power). (Resurrection)
        • Sekhmet seemed to come forth, setting her cage on fire using the meditation candle and then knocking out the guards and Daniel when they tried to help with the fire. She fled into the complex, hoping to kill Keffler. She knocked Barrett out, grabbing the remote control he'd been hanging onto since he took it from Keffler, then kept looking for Keffler. (Resurrection)
        • She caught up to him, clearly as Anna, in the depths of the complex, among the pipes. He tried to convince her that he wanted to help her, but she wasn't buying it she shot him point-blank in the chest, killing him. (Resurrection)
        • As soon as she'd killed him, she hit the remote control button that triggered the biotoxin at the base of her brain, knowing that nothing anyone could do would help her. She died moments later. (Resurrection)
  • Emmett Bregman:
    • Had been a reporter in the Gulf (with a military minder who censored his reports). (Heroes, part 1)
    • Widowed his wife died a few years before he went to the SGC. (Heroes, part 1)
    • Once did a piece on a war photographer, Martin Krystovski, who was with a unit in Vietnam for six months. The day before he was going to go home, the lieutenant pulled him down during a routine patrol his camera went off, and captured the lieutenant getting shot in the head. The bullet should have hit Krystovski he never showed the picture to anyone, for 25 years. Then he looked at the picture again, and saw a picture of a man saving his life, not a man dying. (Heroes, part 2)
    • Had a generally abrasive personality/approach, but also had some manners -- he rose when Janet stood up and left the table where they were eating lunch. (Heroes, part 1)
    • He was sent by the president to do a documentary about the SGC. (Heroes, part 1)
      • He was appalled that nothing had been done before this to chronicle the happenings at the SGC, considering it of high historical importance. (Heroes, part 1)
      • He absolutely believed that giving journalists open access to everything was the only way to keep society from becoming totalitarian and repressive. (Heroes, part 2)
    • Before he arrived, he was briefed by the Defense Department he was pretty annoyed to find out he'd need to be briefed again by Hammond before he was allowed to start shooting anything. (Heroes, part 1)
      • Used pretty much the worst possible approach toward Hammond -- flip and annoying, and making inappropriate jokes. (Heroes, part 1)
    • When Rundell suggested a cinema verite approach, Bregman mocked the idea, pointing out that they'd be there a year if they tried to make people comfortable with them and the idea of the documentary before really beginning anything, since everyone there kept things secret for a living he said they'd need to use the & quotwringing it out of them" approach. (Heroes, part 1)
    • He wanted to wear the SG vest with the new ceramic-polymer plating inside it during a test Dr. Lee wouldn't allow it. (Heroes, part 1)
    • He got increasingly frustrated with the stonewalling from some SGC personnel and by Hammond's very strict interpretation of his clearance orders (which meant that Bregman couldn't see or film any activity surrounding any ongoing missions). (Heroes, part 1)
      • He was willing to cheat to get active footage when he and his crew were ordered out of the gateroom because there were wounded coming in, he left his camera running and held it down but pointed behind him as he walked out, until Rundell noticed and shut it off. (Heroes, part 2)
      • He was sincere in his wish to show what was really going on, and to do it with a level of respect for the people involved he carefully did not edit the interviews to be antagonistic or hostile, or to make people look bad. (Heroes, part 2)
      • When he realized that Daniel had probably recorded at least some of what happened on P3X-666, he told Daniel the story of Martin Krystovski, hoping to at least get him thinking about letting people (Bregman) see the tape. (Heroes, part 2)
      • Security caught him trying to get into the infirmary, doubtless to find out who'd been hurt and how badly. Hammond took the opportunity to kick him off the base. (Heroes, part 2)
      • Bregman was seriously pissed off about getting the boot, and actually tried to use Hammond's red phone to make a call protesting it (that didn't go over very well). Whoever he wound up calling (presumably the president, but it's never said explicitly) listened to him, and he got back on the base, and got his wish of getting hold of the tape Daniel shot on P3X-666. (Heroes, part 2)
    • He was shocked and saddened to see that it was a tape of Janet's death, and at first told Daniel he wasn't going to use it he even deliberately sought Daniel out to give it back. Daniel told him that he wanted him to, so that people could see what an extraordinary person she was. (Heroes, part 2)
    • He and his team were present at the memorial service held for Janet at the SGC, filming it to be used (respectfully) in the documentary. (Heroes, part 2)
  • Martin Krystovski:
    • He was a war photographer, who was with a unit in Vietnam for six months. The day before he was going to go home, the lieutenant pulled him down during a routine patrol his camera went off, and captured the lieutenant getting shot in the head. The bullet should have hit Krystovski he never showed the picture to anyone, for 25 years. Then he looked at the picture again, and saw a picture of a man saving his life, not a man dying. (Heroes, part 2)
    • Years later, he told this story to Emmett Bregman, when Bregman did a piece on him.Martin Krystovski, who was with a unit in Vietnam for six months. The day before he was going to go home, the lieutenant pulled him down during a routine patrol his camera went off, and captured the lieutenant getting shot in the head. The bullet should have hit Krystovski he never showed the picture to anyone, for 25 years. Then he looked at the picture again, and saw a picture of a man saving his life, not a man dying. (Heroes, part 2)
  • Catherine Langford:
    • Still alive and well, and still retired, as of late 2003 (seventh season). (Heroes, part 1)
  • Marci Wells:
    • Married to Senior Airman Simon Wells. (Heroes, part 2)
    • She was pregnant with their first child when her husband went to P3X-666 and nearly died from a staff weapon, saved by Fraiser, who died saving his life. (Heroes, part 2)
    • Shortly after he recovered, she gave birth to a baby girl they named Janet. (Heroes, part 2)
  Added to Goa'uld:
  • Please note: The direct & quotmythological version" links to the various Goa'ulds' names currently open on an empty frame, because the Encylopedia Mythica has changed its layout, burying everything in frames that I can't get past. My apologies I'm working on it. In the meantime, you can easily search the Encylopedia's site from there.
  • Minor Goa'uld:
  • Sekhmet: (Mythological version)
    • (She may have been a System Lord, but it's never said that she is. (Resurrection))
    • A loyal, powerful ally to Ra. Ra routinely sent her to rule planets in his stead, and used her as an enforcer of sorts -- to quell rebellions and perform mass executions. (Resurrection)
    • She was believed to have lived on Earth during much of Ra's dynasty here. (Resurrection)
    • She was also believed to have been exiled for plotting against him.
      • (personal speculation: my own interpretation is that this is good evidence that she was a System Lord in her own right the System Lords don't seem to exile lower-ranking Goa'uld, but only their peers. This is a total guess on my part, though, so I'm leaving her listed as a minor Goa'uld.) (Resurrection)
    • Artifacts belonging to her were taken from a tomb/crypt around 1800 by Napoleon (or his troops). (Resurrection)
    • She was found in a canopic jar, and her DNA was used by the rogue NID in an experiment to create a human/Goa'uld hybrid. It was never clear if she was alive or dead when she was found, or what happened to her afterward. (Resurrection)
    • See Anna for more details. (Resurrection)
  • Technology:
    • Remote probe:
      • imilar in function to an SGC MALP. It was airborne and mobile, capable both of recording and storing vast amounts of data and of defending itself, with shields and weaponry. It also contained a long-range communicator. (Heroes, part 1)
    • Staff weapon:
      • The force of the blast is powerful enough to penetrate Kevlar, and the heat of the plasma is enough to superheat other bulletproof armor plating, effectively cooking the wearer. (Heroes, part 1)
• Added to Nitpicks page
  • Individual episodes:
    • Heroes, part 1:
      • How did Bregman and his crew manage to wander into the control room all by themselves without being stopped by anyone before they'd so much as met Hammond? They should have been handed over in a direct line by security, from surface to SGC to Rundell to Hammond. (Okay, it made for a fun opening. But still!)
      • 1,000 trips sounds like a lot, but it's actually not, when you spread it out over seven years (it works out to an average of roughly 143 trips per year).
        • We already know that SG-1 alone visits roughly 22 new planets each year (not including missions to planets they've already been to) (Memento).
        • Assuming that SG-1 is an approximate yardstick for all teams's mission numbers (even if not new planets), the original nine teams alone would have managed roughly a combined 200 missions every year, or nearly 1,400 by late seventh season.
        • On top of that, on many missions, more than one trip is made through the gate (to send extra personnel or supplies, for people to report back and then rejoin their unit, etc.)
        • As of late seventh season, the SGC had at least twenty-one active SG teams going out on missions, often with multiple trips per mission.
        • If they're really counting just trips, 1,000 is way, way, way too low.
      • Possible spackling:
        • Sam could have been referring solely to SG-1's trips 1,000 is certainly not an impossible number. But she didn't say & quotour" 1,000th trip, she said & quotthe" 1,000th trip, so this is pretty dicey.
    • Heroes, part 2:
      • Continuity glitch: Daniel said Janet went three days without sleep trying to save him when he was dying of radiation poisoning in Meridian, but he was so severely irradiated that he had less than a day before he died.
    • Resurrection:
      • What happened to Sekhmet's symbiote body? Was it dead when they found it, or alive? Is she still alive somewhere?
      • Where did the rogue NID cell get such a huge block of (presumably refined) naquadah? The rogue NID was only running offworld missions for about a year and a half, and there was never any indication that they had access to a naquadah mine or refined naquadah (the SGC would have taken either one over, if it wasn't being stolen to begin with). The SGC didn't gain access to a ready supply of naquadah until the same year that Sekhmet built this bomb, and they would have noticed ten pounds of it going missing.
      • The crystals used in the Goa'uld bomb are all wrong. Goa'uld crystals should look like faceted crystals, and not be round and glowing like freaking Lite-Brite pieces.
    • Inauguration:
      • Timeline glitch: Woolsey says that the events of Politics/Within the Serpent's Grasp, when Kinsey shuts down the program and SG-1 defies orders to go through the gate, happened five and a half years ago.
        • If I'm right about when this episode happens (January 20, 2004, and the following few days), that's impossible. In Politics, Samuels quotes from a mission report dated & quotFebruary of this year" , and the mission itself is specifically stated to have happened on February 10, 1997. So the program has to have been shut down in late 1997, which puts it a full six years or more before Woolsey briefs the president. (If I'm wrong about Politics happening at the end of 1997, all that does is push it back earlier into that year, which lengthens the amount of time between the shutdown and Woolsey's report.)
      • Timeline glitch: General Maynard says that Anubis tried to take out Earth with an asteroid & quota little over a year ago" it was two years ago, and possibly a bit more than two years.
