Yeah, that is a cool effect. I wonder what keeps the air from wooshing out of the gate room and into the vacuum on the other side, though. Probably better not to think too hard about that....
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Thrive to spite them
I didn't tape Altantis because...well I forgot...but now I wish I had so I could check it out again.
The wraith things, or at least Ms. Head Wraith reminded me of Marilyn Mason kind of. I mostly liked it. I like Beckett although I kept thinking "hobbit!" everytime I heard him. I would have thought Pippin! but I get Pippin and Merry so utter confused.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

You have to physically push stuff through the event horizon. So if you had a big fan pushing air at the gate, sure. Otherwise not much air is going to go through.

Er, um. Air pressure pushes on the event horizon, just like it pushes on everything else, and with a considerable force, too.
Look what happened with the Russian water gate....

All is well that ends in pizza.
I believe they mentioned once that the gate acts as a baffle.
I could be mistaken

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It would be really fun to have Billy Boyd on just about any piece of my furniture regularly.

ita lays it down.
I thought Free-Wheeling Pilot Guy accepted his role ...leaving, possibly forever, rather quickly.
Maybe that "file from Afghanistan" actually meant "his court martial is under appeal."
The gate in space reminded me of the gate in the book Broken Angels. But I wanked the air/vacuum thing to some extent...whatever lockdown they were using that they had to have a code for (in lieu of the iris) would keep the air from being sucked out. Except of course when the ship was coming thru the gate. But whatever; I'm still trying to work out why the Ancients left through that gate to Earth and didn't put the same technology on the Earth gate.
