THERE BUR FOR THE GRACE OF GOD - Eposode #19
SG-1 begin to explore a new planet, when Teal'c recognizes a Goa'uld symbol of destruction there. O'Neill orders the team to retreat, but Jackson stays behind to gather artifacts. Among the artifacts is a mirror, Jackson curiously touches it, and is transferred to an alternate reality. In the new reality, the Goa'uld have started attacking Earth
NOTES OF INTEREST:
- Korush-nai: Goa'uld warning, meaning "turn back", used to indicate any planet destroyed by the Goa'uld and left contaminated by radiation.
- The lab on P3R-233 contained tagged artifacts from diverse human cultures, including a Turkinese mask, a clay cone from Nagash with cuneiform symbols, and a mirror, possibly made of naquadah, which allows interdimensional transport to alternate realities.
- Scientists have theorized that there are an infinite number of dimensions, each containing a different possible version of reality, some of which are very different, and some of which are almost identical.
- Estimated death toll to Earth was 1.5 billion.
- Refugees from the Genesis list including world leaders, scientists and doctors, were sent to the Beta Site.
- Blasts from the Goa'uld destroyers are the equivalent of 200-megaton nuclear warheads.
- The unique symbol on a gate is its point of origin.
- A wormhole can be maintained for 38 minutes.
- The deep space transmission three months earlier from P3R-233 used a derivation of ancient Egyptian for the message: "Beware the destroyers. They come from 3, 32, 16, 8, 10, 12."
- Coordinates for the origin of the Goa'uld attack from a transmission from P3R-233 in the alternate universe correspond on their gate to 3-32-16-8-10-12. Jackson's drawings correspond on the Earth gate to 3-39-16-8-10-12.
- Similarities in the alternate reality:
- The stargate has an iris, and the SG-1 transmitter code was valid.
- O'Neill's son accidentally killed himself with Jack's gun.
- O'Neill led the suicide mission to Abydos to blow up the gate and destroy Ra.
- Catherine and Ernest had been engaged before the stargate accident in 1945.
- Teal'c has a wife and son Rya'c.
- Differences in the alternate reality:
- Stargate Command is known as SGA.
- O'Neill is a general, Hammond is a colonel, Carter is a civilian PhD in astrophysics.
- Jack and Sam are engaged.
- Jackson met Catherine but rudely refused to join the team translating the Giza cartouche.
- Jackson, last known residence Egypt in 1997, was killed by the Goa'uld attack.
- Teal'c remained First Prime of Apophis and led the attack on Earth.
- O'Neill has a scar over his left eye, Carter has long hair, Teal'c has a pony tail.
- There was no mission to Chulak. A bomb was sent through the gate to destroy Chulak.
- All of SG-1 and Earth were destroyed in the Goa'uld attack.
Injuries:
- Jackson: electrical shock from the mirror, transported to an alternate reality, staff weapon wound to the right shoulder
