I mean, come on! There's this big ring sitting in the middle of a field, and no one's treating it like Stonehenge?
Katie, that is such a plot bunny.
I assign it to you. Go forth and be funny.
Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Wrod. Can you imagine the diplomatic disaster if the big bloopy wave took out a kindergarten field trip?
There's actually a piece of fanfic out there that does this. I don't recall liking it very much, though, as I'm pretty sure it was just used as a way to make Daniel wallow and feel bad. (I'm not immune to that sort of story, but this wasn't a particularly good example of the genre.)
I assign it to you. Go forth and be funny.
Heh. Well, maybe. Funny is haaaaaaard, though.

I thought that only kicked in if the other gate itself was damaged.
Isn't the gate material all but indestructible? I recall the episode where they linked to a world that had just been hit by a kernel black hole, and the gravity transmitted through the gate was enough to crumple the titanium iris with tidal forces and generate a very pronounced relativistic time dilation effect.

Yup. That's the episode I always think is 'Singularity' but in fact it isn't. And Sam wasn't sure that a naquada-enhanced nuclear blast would destroy the gate.

I remember that one of the go'auld (Apophis? Anubis?) did something that supercharged the SG-1 gate and made it explode in a potentially earth-destroying blast, but my impression was he'd had to pump it full of nearly its own rest mass again in energy before it reached the limit and went POW!

I have a plan.
I sort of remember that one. They tried to launch the gate into space since they couldn't stop it from blowing. As I recall they almost failed to do it too.
eta: I think it was Apophis who did it.

I thought that was Heru'ur. Or possibly Sokar. Whoever it was who threatened the SGC unless they gave Apophis' body back?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That was Sokar, but he was just super-heating the iris. I don't think it was going to make the Stargate blow.
Not that I watch...oh, wait, I outed myself. Damn.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I love Dana. She's so cute.

The way I remember them losing the second Stargate is by ejecting it into a sun to make it blow up. That's the one that flung (flang?) their ship and Apophis's far off into a distant galaxy, and then Teal'c turned on them, and... now I can't remember how they ever got home.
