Opening scene, Daniel walks into her office, addresses the new actress as Dr. Weir, and she's clearly in charge of the SGC. And we're walking...

Torri Higginson was a much better Weir, from day one. Frankly, a better actor. Steen's performance is flat and toneless, she played it off as if she didn't have a clue (stargate) but it came off more like she didn't have a clue (acting). Speaking of Torri Higginson, I never got a good read on why they left the show. Some say producer pressure, Higginson seems to say she left because she was frustrated by the writers. She does have a point that the writers struggled writing for women, there's definitely a lot of dated gender politics in the show. There's the classic Carter line, but that episode of Atlantis with the all-women SG team made me cringe a bit with them constantly getting ogled by our dudebro heroes.

Speaking of wildly varying uses of the iris, Henry Boyd's team sent a signal that Sam and the unnamed intern interpreted and shifted (in milli-micron increments, Jesus wept) before opening it. And Jack even makes a crack about it, the next bang will be Henry Boyd's team! Of course it turns out differently, but the iris just doesn't seem to be a safe device.

I figured that the iris opening sends a signal back that its safe to proceed

You'd think, but this is not acknowledged in the show. They jump through when it's dramatically convenient.

Like, for example, the gate is open, two people go through, but a third lingers behind saying goodbye to whomever; how does the gate know to stay open? How does it know when the final person goes through?

How does it know when the final person goes through? someone, usually Jack sticks his arm through to hold it open until the last person is through he does it multiple times. Don't worry I think I remember them dive rolling and waiting for the gate to close a few times too as some staff blasts wizz overhead to prove me wrong.

The episode 200 is just an amazing comedy episode, packed with jokes and meta jokes, and one of my favorites is a very small, subtle one: At the end of the episode, when they finish by interviewing the cast of WORMHOLE X-TREME, you can see stagehands in the background moving potted pine trees. I loved it - it's a dig at themselves for filming in the Vancouver area and all those PNW forest planets.

The signal analysis in that ep took so long because the black hole's time dilation was distorting the signal, usually they come through just fine? I'm not sure what the issue is here, except maybe Jack being a little snarky about the situation. (Jack, snarky? Say it ain't so!)

apparently there's a stargate book where they eventually cobble together a thing from a bunch of alien tech and beam Boyd's team out of the black hole

IIRC the graphics in the VR ep were taken from the SG-1 FPS in development at the time. Which was cancelled because MGM sucks donkey balls.

Look, if you want to get stuck in the dialing computer's hang-up signal while someone tries to not eat a lemon, that's on you, buddy  If Henry Boyd's signal took so long to decode, it sort of flies in the face of everyone and their mate diving into the wormhole as soon as it forms.

I remember the ad for this very well, because the one before is the first episode I watched live instead of pirating. Like this next episode preview was so horrible it's seared into my mind forever. "On the next episode of SG-1 Teal'c is trapped inside a video game!" With just these lovely graphics that were outdated even at the time. Is there a collection of all the next episode previews? I remember most being pretty cheesy unless it was a 2 parter.

I liked it, watching Teal'c slowly give up, but even then, the game wouldn't let him die. Those Anubis super soldiers were cool as hell.
