3. In SG1, science doesn't mean what you think it means. In fact, it's best if you just kind of chuck all your science knowledge in a pensieve while you're in the Stargate universe. Just listen to whatever Sam and Daniel tell you, and believe them; they're usually right. They read the script.

This not only includes the standard stuff like physics, but anthropology too! After taking an archaeology course, the complete removal of human agency from the process of cultural development in the Stargate world annoyed me more than it should.

Sometimes you just have to suspend your disbelief and watch the pretty.
