Talk:Earth (episode)

From SGCommand

Home World Command? I think the agency is referenced in SG-1 episodes as the Department of Homeworld Security. 97.182.202.170 08:12, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

It's the same agency, but for some reason has undergone a name change between then and now. Signs and plaques around the department clearly say "Homeworld Command". Reference here. Cheers Kal'el ^{T | C} - 17:30, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Seems like a cliche...—Anubis 10545 ^{(talk) (Contribs)} 00:18, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

I'm not surprised really, Department of Homeworld Security seems to me like it references the federal government level "Department of Homeland Security". With Homeworld Command under the supervision of the SGA, US Armed Forces, etc., it makes it more of a military organization like it truly is.

[edit] Suicide?

The article says there hasn't been a suicide yet, but Senator Armstrong committed suicide in Air. Whether they considered it to be the aforementioned suicide or not isn't clear so that comment about it presumably being in this episode should be removed in my opinion.

The comment should only be removed if it turns out there isn't a suicide in the episode after it aired. -- Matthew R Dunn ^{(talk) (Contribs)} 11:57, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

I missed this moment - what happen to Riley? did he die? —╔▲╠☼╚╡∩║▀⌠⅜⌡├┤∩ ^{(talk) (Contribs)} 19:17, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

I suppose the suicide refers to Alan Armstrong. Riley's last known condition is "touch and go", which means he's in critical condition and might die, but he's not dead yet. Riley is the first real character in danger of death that there's any emotional attachment to. He might be a side character, but he's a well developed character and has been in a lot of scenes. Armstrong died too soon to be heavily invested in the character, Groman and Curtis were red-shirts, and Palmer was also fairly insignificant, plot-wise. If Riley dies, it's reminiscent of Peter Grodin. Kal'el ^{T | C} - 21:46, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] dialing Destiny with a Daedalus-class ship?

the guy said that if it works, they can use the data gathered to figure out how to dial Destiny with a Daedalus-class ship and get the proper team onboard. but how is that even possible? Earth ships can't draw power from stars and they don't have a stargate in them. the only way i know for sure that can dial Destiny would be to use a blackhole but then the wormhole won't shut down

They said they would find an Icarus type planet and dial from there not from a Deadulus Ship. —76.244.151.32 03:24, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

In Earth (opposed to Life, which you seem to be thinking of) Carl Strom and Camile Wray had a conversation in a park. Carl said: "If this works, we think we might be able to use the data to re-engineer the process in one of our ships here in this galaxy." [1]. I really don't know what he meant by that either...—Anubis 10545 ^{(talk) (Contribs)} 04:46, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
