Syfy cancelled Stargate SG-1 because the network was pivoting to putting more effort into their other shows like Eureka which had a more general appeal. The writers snuck this cryptically meta exchange into S10E18 "Family Ties" poking at the network for how they felt the series was being mistreated.

In my opinion, it was a mistake to make seasons 9 and 10 of Stargate SG-1 instead of their original plan of making it a spinoff called Stargate Command. If they would have started fresh as (technically) a new series, I think it would have been overall better for the long term health of the franchise.

In Stargate SG-1 S5E22 "Revelations", Teryl Rothery (Janet Fraiser) voiced the CGI Asgard character Heimdall. Because this CGI character needed to interact with real-world actors, while filming the scene, they got Rothery in a black costume to act as a stand-in who they would later edit out and replace with the CGI Heimdall.

While Rothery is relatively short for a human, she is still much taller than an Asgard like Heimdall. If the other actors in this scene were to make eye contact with Rothery here while filming, after the VFX was added, it would seem as if the characters were looking over Heimdall's head while talking to them. That would look rather unnatural. That is just not how people talk to each other.

So, to make sure that these real-world actors were looking at a height that matched Heimdall's eyeline instead of Rothery's, her blank costume included an image of Heimdall. But this meant that the real-world actors in this scene were delivering their lines while staring Rothery directly in the chest. The cast/crew all found this amusing and had a difficult time getting through the scene because of that.

I mean, after the kawoosh of the inbound wormhole is done. We know that matter can only travel one way through a wormhole. Radio waves can travel both ways. So what happens if you walk into the event horizon of an inbound wormhole?

I've seen scenes where a character sticks their hand, or gun into the event horizon. Notably to 'hold the door open'. But as long as you remove your hand before the connection terminates, you're fine. Presumably if you keep a body part in the event horizon when the gate cuts off, you get a hot date with Dr Lam and the surgical team.

But if you fully jump into the event horizon of an incoming wormhole, what happens? Do you bounce back out again? Do you just go to the other side of the event horizon and walk around the back of the Stargate? Do you dematerialize, and if so, do you then get stuck and deleted when the gate finally shuts of? A secret fourth thing?

RDA stopped taking my phone calls.
