and... now I can't remember how they ever got home.
Oh, Christ, I can.
The replicators revamped the ship and made it go all fast and stuff.
Jayne: We was just about to spring into action, Captain. Complicated escape and rescue op. Wash: I was going to watch. It was very exciting.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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
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.
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.

Oh, right. For some reason, the replicators decided "Hey, if we're all the way out here... let's make the ship go all the way back to Earth to find stuff to eat!" Surely there was something nearer.
Ah, well. Hyperspace window? Don't remember it. Was it Season 6?

Yeah. That was the two-parter that started the season.

I have a plan.
Redemption parts 1 and 2. Finally found it, was promising to drive me insane if I hadn't. Guess it's because I though MS was still with the cast at the time.

Yeah, I'm still missing out on some Season 6 episodes.

It's a remora, dimwit.
I thought in the movie that the Earth's stargate was like in pieces, and the archeologists had to re-assemble it because it had fallen into disrepair.

It wasn't in pieces, but it didn't have a dial-home device. Actually, in the movie there wasn't such a thing, but anyway. So they had to "McGuyver" a computer interface. Which Sam was apparently responsible for. The anthropologists were there to read the manual.
(ETA: and, retconning, the address for Abydos, which was stored with the buried Stargate, sort of like a sticky on a phone that's been pulled out of the wall saying, "Here's the number NOT TO CALL".)

All is well that ends in pizza.
Actually Abydos was the first known number that reached somewhere. Second, after 1940's retcon.
They had been trying for a while, IIRC.
