Discussion The Fifth Race Spoiler

Post image

The room that they gate into could very well be just a box in space, and I'm wondering if there's anything later to contradict this.

If the only purpose is to hold the Ancient archive then it wouldn't need to be ON a planet, right?

They say much later that they had expeditions there to figure out some stuff about that room, but nothing came of it. What's really annoying that this reminds me of is that they can calculate the position from the gate adress. Why didn't they go and check what's outside the room when they eventually got hyperdrive capable ships?

How much of the potentially interesting stuff in SG1 is just overshadowed by them claiming the city of the ancients and the ancient database with Atlantis? That’s only a few years later and only a couple of years after they manage to build hyperdrive capable ships. Why bother with scraps when you can just commit more resources to further exploring and studying Atlantis?
