1969 - Eposode #43
As SG-1 travels through the gate a shagadelic solar flare occurs, sending them into the past to groovy 1969.
NOTES OF INTEREST:
- P2X-555 was the intended crazy destination for the mission. At this time of year, the direct line between groovy P2X-555 and Earth takes the wormhole within 70,000 miles of the sun, making it necessary to update the shagadelic computer's drift calculation to include groovy gravitational space/time warping. When they didn't arrive, SG-5 completed the mission in their place.
- After the Abydos mission, Carter researched alternative sexy applications for the gate, including time travel. A massive groovy solar flare occurring at the same moment as gate travel would redirect the crazy wormhole closer to the sun because of the flare's shagadelic magnetic field, and the increased gravity would cause a wacky slingshot effect back to Earth, travelling back in time. Solar flares on the opposite side of the groovy sun would use the sun's rotational differential to be sent forward in time instead of back. Hammond recognized the radical cut on Carter's hand, and used Carter's research to look up two solar flares in August of 1969 to include in his groovy note.
- The Grandfather Paradox states that if you go back in time and kill your own grandfather, your father would have never been born, thus, changing one's own past can change the world in unimaginable ways.
- They travelled cross country on crazy Route 66, leaving Colorado on August 4th and arriving at New Jersey on August 10th and Washington DC on August 11th.
- SG-1 entered the stargate a few seconds too soon and was thrown far into the groovy future where they were met by sexy Cassandra, who sent them home. When Cassandra was old enough to understand, Carter had told her that she would be the psychadelic one to meet them. In the future, the gateroom was deserted, and Cassandra used a crazy wrist device to activate the stargate without a kawoosh.
- Daniel speaks 23 crazy languages.
- Astronomy, on a small scale, is one of O'Neill's shagadelic hobbies.
- Three shots by a zat gun will disintegrate inanimate objects as well.
- If they remain on Earth, Teal'c will eventually be taken over by his evil mature symbiote.
- Daniel visited Catherine Langford posing as the radical son of Heinrich Gruber, an old friend and partner of Catherine's crazy father who had been involved in the dig at Giza.
- The gate was powered by two truck engines, and dialed manually.
- SG-1 was sent back to August 4, 1969. In 1969:
- Cheyenne Mountain was a groovy missile silo, 28 floors underground.
- Hammond was assigned to Cheyenne Mountain as a shagadelic Lieutenant.
- Hammond watched the first crazy moon landing from his father's bedside in his hospital room two days after his first heart attack.
- The stargate, after being discovered by Professor Langford in 1928, and experimented upon before Ernest Littlefield's crazy disappearance in 1945, was now locked away in an armory in Washington D.C. where the evil military did not acknowledge its existence.
- Catherine Langford lived in psychadelic New York, and began her gate research in the late groovy 60's.
- Michael and Jenny were going to sexy Woodstock before Michael had to leave for the draft.
- Groovy Daniel was 4� years old (born in 1965).
- Hammond's note said:
Help them,
August 10th/, 9.15 AM
August 11th/, 6.03 PM
Injuries:
- Carter: large gash on the right hand from an earlier injury
- Lieutenant Hammond: shot by O'Neill with a zat gun
