Really, I'm with Jack. Naming your ships after Greek tragedies is a bad idea.
Daedalus and Prometheus aren't tragedies, though. They're figures from Greek mythology. Their stories aren't the happiest, but whose were in those days? At least they haven't named a ship the Oedipus.
Well, can we agree on "somewhat tragic figures"? I'll grant that Oedipus would be worse (though I'm just waiting for Icarus, myself).
Which is handy, because some of the gates are in space.
Speaking of which, have they addressed how our intrepid gaters tell a space address from a ground address? I'm hoping they don't have to surrender a MALP to the vacuum of space every time, because that would make me sad.
What happens if someone tries to go through the wormhole the wrong way? Do they end up atomized or something?
What happens if someone tries to go through the wormhole the wrong way?
I know you can't do it, but I don't know what happens if you try. Unless you're a radio wave, because if you're a radio wave, you can do anything! even if it violates the very laws of physics that exist within the SG-verse. And by "exist," I mean, "can be ameneded or ignored at will to serve the story." Because that's how the laws of physics should be, really.
I know that a MALP that went through a Stargate that was lying on the ground (well, actually, in the ground, but it's complicated, was destroyed by falling back into the Event Horizon.
That's actually a little scary (or, I mean, would be, if it were real). You stumble a little coming out of the gate, or bump into the person in front of you and bounce back a little, and you're toast.
What I want to know is whether you can walk through the Event Horizon from the back
I always thought it would be coolest if, when you looked on the other side of the puddle, there was just nothing there - as if the gate weren't even activated, and if you walked through from the back, you'd just walk through as if you were walking through the gate when it was off. But I don't think that's how it works (except in my little world), because we've seen puddles from both sides, right?
We have.
