SG1 Absolute Power

[Frustration]

Having the Asgard Archive isn't the same thing as understanding it.

Nevertheless, I really disliked that plot development, because it challenges a theme of Stargate that has implicitly gone back to the originating movie: power and knowledge not earned the hard way is lethally dangerous.

Remember: learning things for yourself is part of the path to Ascension.

Typo on my part. I meant the Tauri still didn't have a full grasp on everything yet. So Evil Daniel could whip something up that may confound them.

Except for McKay. Give him a hard deadline of life or death and he will figure it all out.

Or blow up five-sixths of a solar system.

[McAvoy]

You blow up one star...

But if you blow up nearly a whole solar system... No one forgets.

Offhand, I think that might be the only time where he couldn't fix the problem.

It was uninhabited, it isn't like he poisoned a star that a planet with a population orbited and had to begging aliens to fix on the downlow.

But it was also an intact Ancient outpost. They could have learned all kinds of things from it through study, if it hadn't been... well, not vaporized, exactly. Reduced to its constituent quarks?

I can't remember but I don't think they even brought it up either.

I doubt the Wraith salvaged anything from there either. There could have been intact basements or shelters.

Atlantis could have found some goodies. Maybe a ZPM that was deactivated due to the Super Duper Uber ZPM they were messing around with.
