Prototype

Landry: If there’s something wrong with this Gate, I want to know what it is before anyone else walks through it.
Carter: Yes sir.
Landry: Find the problem. Until we do, all Gate activity is shut down.

Carter: Huh. Maybe it wasn’t our fault.
Jackson: I thought it was always our fault.

Carter: Instead of using an iris like we do, the off-world gate stores incoming data in its buffer system. Then if the correct code isn’t received, it dials a random address and empties the buffer into the new wormhole.
Mitchell: Interstellar call-forwarding. That’s pretty cool.

Mitchell: Wow. It’s amazing what people leave laying around.

Jackson: Wait! Wait!
Mitchell: What? I was looking for the lightswitch.
Jackson exasperated: New guy!
Mitchell: Hey, you touched that!

Jackson: He may not have a snake in his head, but the man we defrosted and brought back here has Goa’uld DNA intermingled with his own. He may as well be the son of Anubis.
