I was assuming that the Destiny was so decrepted that the Destiny expedition
only had physical access to a small portion of the ship. Many doors were
closed because there was no air on the other side.

.... ON A FUCKING PLANET THAT'S NOT EVEN INDUSTRIALIZED IN THE
NEXT EPISODE?!

The planet has little plant lie, yet its low on CO2, implying that on the
planet is something that is removing the CO2 without benefit of plant life.
That something could be what was used on the Destiny to scrub the CO2.

It could also simply be that as the ship was launched before their move to

after the wraith became a problem.

Would CO2 just naturally build up on a planet with no/little plant
life? Is it a natural balance for a planet to have high levels of CO2?
Where would it come from in that case?

I know that Venus has a high CO2 count, but its atmosphere is also
toxic and high in other compounds that might result in this. Mars is
low in oxygen, but is it high in CO2?

Maybe a planet can naturally be low in CO2 without there being
something around to remove it? Why would the oxygen bond with the
carbon more readily than with hydrogen? Given that hydrogen is the
most plentiful element in the universe, I would think the oxygen would
bond with that first, resulting in water.

It's been a LONG time since I sat in a chemistry class...

The planet that showed up at the end is a desert, meaning that its low on water,
so not much oxygen/hydrogen bonding.

Yes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars#Atmosphere

"The atmosphere on Mars consists of 95% carbon dioxide, 3% nitrogen,
1.6% argon, and contains traces of oxygen and water."

The Ancients had been sufficiently advanced even before they
had left for the Pegasus Galaxy that any remaining technology that
they have left behind could pose a serious threat to the developing
races. It would be common sense that there would be safeguards for
that technology so that it can't be activated even haphazardly.
Further, there has been evidence in earlier episodes of
Stargate SG-1 that the Ancients were part of the accord that the
various races had in place with the Goa'uld (this accord had also
included the Nox, Asgard, and Furlings as you recall), which indicates
that they would be doubly cautious of their technology falling into
Goa'uld hands. Hence it would be sensible for them to ensure that
without the ATA gene, the Goa'uld wouldn't be able to activate it.

The goa'ould might not have been a threat when the ancients left. They might
not have even left their home planet. The accord was between the nox,
furlings, asgard and ancients. WE were the fifth race.

If a Goa'uld's HOST had the ATA gene, I assume that the Goa'uld would have
access!

Tim, go away... Worked out already even in the "Thor's
Hammer" and "Fifth Race". Even though Thor's Hammer had been built by
the Asgard, given the advancement of the Ancients, it's pretty
apparent that they had worked out how to exclude any host that has
been taken over by a Goa'uld.
This was of course reinforced by "Fifth Race" when T'ealc
looks into the Ancient Teaching Device and it doesn't activate.

In the episode "The Fifth Race", one of the set of symbols for
the meeting of these groups was... yes, you guessed it -- Ancient. Go
watch the episode again please.

Further, there are indications that prior to their exodus to
the Pegasus Galaxy, Ancient technology had already been genetically
keyed to them, as it has been explained in SGA's "Rising" and SG1's
"The Pegasus Project". This would be a common sense precaution given
the advancement of the Ancients.

Um. Try reading that again please.
Where did I say anything about the ancients NOT being one of the races in
the accord? I said they sodding WHERE!

Or word gets out about Young beating up Telford. Or Young is caught
boinking Chloe silly.

Young is abducted by aliens, who use his adulterous activities and
resulting marital problems as emotional weapons to convince him to
turn spy. He resists by focusing on his love for Emily or TJ or
both. The aliens might also blackmail him by threatening to blow the
whistle on him for attacking Telford and Rush.

Alternative: The aliens clone a human and leave him/her on some planet
for the Destiny crew to find. Said human is an unwitting alien spy.

After Sabotage, thing become slightly more alien-centric. They remain
something of a shadowy side-plot until Incursion, when they actually invade
the ship and the Destiny crew must find a way to fight them off. Probably
by sneaking onto their ship and stealing some weapons.

I suggest getting the Destiny to dive into a star again. If that doesn't scare
the aliens into leaving, then selectively drop the shields in the areas controlled
by the aliens in order to fry them.

Indeed. It sounds like torture, or at least an absence of anesthetic.

I'm sure that'll work once, assuming they don't already know the Destiny is
designed to do that. The aliens could be lead by a vengeful Dr. Rush, or
helped by a brainwashed spy, or also have a ship that can dive into stars,
or gain control of Destiny before it dives. It certainly won't work on the
same aliens twice. And if they do that, I doubt they'll be dropping any
shields. The ship itself isn't likely to survive having major parts of it
missing like that. Of course, that doesn't stop anyone from bluffing.

Why not just stick with science fact?

If we stuck with established science fact, we wouldn't have had any
Stargate series to begin with!

Rush and Camile led a mutiny against Young. Young defeated the mutiny, and
wonders how to work with Rush's group. IMHO, Dr. Phil should be brought in as
a consultant, since he's an expert on family disputes.

It appears that Rush may lose his humanity by being hooked up to a nasty Chair.

Another Rush and Camile attempt to undermine Young?
