From SGCommand

Various theories, questions, and what have yous I have accumulated about Stargate over the years.

• Jack O'Neill: Former drug addict?
  • Mentions he "knows what its like" when Daniel is going sarcophagus withdrawl in Need
  • Says the Blood of Sokar reminded him of the seventies in The Devil You Know
  • Says he's done the whole strapped to a bed and drugged thing in Divide and Conquer
• Conclusion: Who knows? The whole series can seem like a drug induced fantasy sometimes.

• Atlantis the spaceship the Ancients fleed the Alteran-Ori home galaxy in?
  • Evidence seems to point to Atlantus being the capital of Ancient Earth, which appears to have been the capital of the Ancient Domain in the Milky Way
  • O'Neill seems to say "Terra Atlantus" in a tone of reverance in Lost City, Part 2
  • Stargate located in Antarctica, where Atlantis was located
  • Morgan Le Fey described Proclarush Taonas as "one of the first Lantean cities" in The Pegasus Project
• Conclusion: Possible. More evidence required.

• Celestis: Actual planet or different dimension?
  • Daniel and Vala travelled from Ver Eger to Celestis via ring transporters in Origin
  • Gerak and Prior travelled there without any form of transportation other than the Priors staff in The Fourth Horseman, Part 1
  • Ori are visible in ascended form
  • Questions about the Doci and the Priors would have to be asked
• Conclusion: Uncomfirmed at this time. Ascension makes my head hurt.

• Jack and Sam: Having an affair since his promotion?
  • When Malcom Barret asked if she was seeing anyone in Ex Deus Machina, she replied "Not exactly"
  • Carter was vaguely amused by the prospect of her and Jack getting married in 200, while O'Neill looked slightly perturbed
• Conclusion: It's been ten years. Either make it happen or...or...cancel the show...Wait a minute...

• Ancient homeworld named Altera?
  • Original name Alterans
• Conclusion: Probably.

• Rodney McKay a hypochondriac?
  • Claims to have been one during his college years in Instinct
  • Quite skilled at self-diagnosis
  • Constantly claims to be suffering from one allergy or another
• Conclusion: Signs point to yes.

• Tak the Goa'uld word for ship?
  • Evidence by words such as ha'tak and tel'tak
  • Bridge of a ha'tak is called a pel'tak
• Conclusion: Possible. More evidence required.

• Jonas dead by producer action?
  • Fate unknown following Ori assault on Langara in Counterstrike
  • Not mentioned in series since Citizen Joe
  • Noticeably absent from 200
• Conclusion: I hope not. I actually like Jonas.

• Ancients had an active role in the creation of the Wraith?
  • Ancient hyperdrives appear to be compatible with Wraith hyperdrives, as evidenced in Aurora, Allies, and No Man's Land
  • Minimum amount of five million years it took Iratus bug to evolve into Wraith seems rather short
  • Wraith possess impressive telepathic abilities, something most human races lack, though it is possible the Iratus bug possessed a similar such hive mind
  • Wraith language is derivative of Alteran, as evidence in The Gift
  • Wraith dart and Goa'uld death glider (in Movie) have similar sounding engine whine
• Conclusion: Past experience is indication that when the Ancients screw up, they screw up big.

• Robert Kinsey a Republican?
  • Senator from Indiana, a notoriously conservative state
  • Frequently quotes the Bible such as in Politics and Chain Reaction
  • Believes the United States Military is superior to every other military, including the Goa'uld Fleet
• Conclusion: Probable
