Despite Jack being a Star Trek fan, it's Daniel that tries to be the moderator on impact. Well, some of the time.

Actually, was the Prime Directive even a thing in the original series? Jack's definitely an original series guy.

I'm pretty sure the Prime Directive was a result of Kirk's shenanigans in TOS.

There's the Oracle of Seasons ring system Merlin set up, that combines transport and gates. Not asgard though.

I'm gonna say Asgard transporters through gates won't work. As you need to know the precise location of your destination when transporting. And adding in wormholes into that? I don't think it CAN work, sir.

Asgard can probably use gravity tech to set up some kind of railgun for everything, and a reverse system to catch the cargo on the other side.

They should have that tech, right?

Or maybe you make multiple smaller asgard beam machines and set them up to send the info about what to put stuff together over radio waves so you can have one beam machine at the dial-out gate dematerialize the stuff you want to transport and send the info through the gate as radio waves to the other beam machine at the destination, which puts the stuff together. Presto, changeo, you have star trek matter transportation but at intergalactic distances, thanks to gate technology! ABSOLUTELY nothing could go wrong!

On a general point you definitely can tell when they've saved money in the budget for a big blockbuster episode. Bottle episodes, episodes based on earth, episodes where they travel to planets that are suspiciously similar to late 1990s Canada, all indicators that something big has either just happened or is coming very soon.

yeah and the back end of season 2 has a lot of that.
really feels like they blew the budget in the first half and went "oh god uh, find some college drama kids and put some chalk on them uhhhh- we still got that field... gently caress it call up the x-files and ask if we can borrow one of their sets."

"uh get Daniel to walk down the street for a bit and slap some old person makeup on."

"hey one of the camera guys uncles has an old hippie bus maybe we can use that."

"oh yeah so the episode has them go to New York? circle around the block for a few hours for b-roll we can use up like 15 minutes, easy."

I mean, SG1 is the master of the Clip Show, and the Clip Show was entirely about saving money, and maybe giving the cast and crew some time off mid season.

oh my god season 2 actually ends with one

the backside of season 2 is definitely the low point, but season 3 opens spectacularly.

were they in danger of being cancelled? Teal'c having an opportunity to be written out and the obvious budget issues of late season 2 seems to hint at that.

Nearly always in danger - it gets to the point where it's a running joke in-series.

The one time they knew it was over, they went all out and resolved everything (and it was awesome) - then they got renewed (for another TWO seasons).
