          I have “benevolent extra terrestrial intervention” top on my list of improbable things to wish for.

              Better, you can just get in your sarcophagus and have all your health problems fixed in a couple hours… except for the inevitable psychosis.

                In fairness, they do the language barrier thing in a few of the earlier episodes, but it’s a TV show. It would get very tedious if they did that every episode.

                  And they would have to have a new language for every planet and Daniel would just be constantly translating.

                  But they could have at least thrown the fans a bone. Oh well.

                Did you notice that they go plainly out into these new worlds with no care for germs, what’s so ever? Like, holy fuck. At least the Prometheus movies ‘kind of’ made a point about it in the second one with the mushroom cloud in the beginning.

                  You could lampshade it by saying that the stargates clear them of dangerous pathogens.

                  To be fair, you’d pretty much need that to have a multi-planetary stargate system.

                    I mean, they really jumped the shark when they proved that the stargates kept copies of you in their cache, that they accessed that one time to bring back someone who didn’t make it through the wormhole before it accidentally shut down mid flight. with that being the case, 1… the data already arrived so why didn’t he come out before it shut down… and 2, free cloning technology that we completely ignored the significance of.

                    But, hey, they did dumb stuff like that all the time.
