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?

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.

I have a plan.
I've been looking and looking for that ep. in Gateworld but can't locate it. I do remember that whoever it was, was keeping the wormhole open by transmitting a very small energy beam through, almost undetectable. The energy was supposed to eventually overcharge the naquada in the gate and make it blow up, taking Colorado with it.

Oh, Christ, I can.
The replicators revamped the ship and made it go all fast and stuff.

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

No, that was the Tok'ra's Stargate. The one that Anubis was trying to blow up in the S6 season opener, Redemption, was sent through a hyperspace window with the malfunctioning fighter-bomber-hyperspace-capable-ship-thingie. And then it blew up, and we bought the extra from the Russians.
