I believe the NID are theoretically on the side of the angels again. They didn't show rings; all they showed was a flash of light, which I think was yellow.
Sometimes a thing gets broke, can't be fixed.

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

Ah. I thought it seemed pretty clear it was a ring transporter, from the flash of light and the sound. Asgard beaming technology is silent, yes?
And yes, ex-NID. The Trust? I forget where we learned about them. Heroes?
It also bothered me they had zats, but I shouldn't be surprised. Area 51 has seive-like security, clearly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Katie's right -- the light was yellow, not the traditional blue.
They may have a completely different source of tech, though. No reason to assume that the NID couldn't make some sordid bedfellows while they were gallivanting from gate to gate.
It didn't occur to me that they were vanilla NID.

I don't think we've heard of "The Trust" before, but we met the Stargate equivalent of the Consortium in... crap. The one in S6 where Jack was framed. I don't remember the title.

Yeah, I kind of felt like the transportation was deliberately off-screen, and similar enough to make us go, "hmmm ... was it or wasn't it?" I'm expecting there to be fallout that harkens back to this ep. I may be expecting too much.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I thought maybe they were saving money.

Isn't ring light blue? Unless yellow light is cheaper, I think they may just be sowing mystery.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Just wanted to mention that I caught some of a Stargate episode Friday night. There was some stuff about cold fusion. It seemed all right; one of these days I may give it a try.

Excuse me while my head explodes: apparently Claudia Black was considered for the role of Krista in "Affinity". Well, that would've been a different episode. (Note that the link contains what could be considered a very, very vague spoiler for this Friday's episode.)
ETA: Oh, and casting spoilers for Smallville and a later Stargate episode.
