This was fun but ludicrous. Stars do not have this ‘delicate balance’. Large stars can throw off huge masses of matter in violent outbursts and any star can lose matter steadily to a compact companion either in a close orbit or occasionally upon close approaches in an elliptical orbit. Our sun loses mass every day via the ‘solar wind’. None of these scenarios cause stars to explode. What would really happen in this fictional scenario is nothing.
Could have been interesting if Merlin recognizing SG1 as knights of the round table was because of a Continuum type time travel event, and they actually became part of King Arthur's court
Can we appreciate for a moment that it took all the way to Season 4 of Atlantis until someone told Teal'c about his (not actually an) issue with the word indeed? :P
My personal headcannon is that Hermiod is literally the Asgard equivalent to that one guy nobody likes so they give him the worst job. Can you imagine working with him for centuries and getting the same grump non stop? :P
"The blast wave would travel at nearly the speed of light. It would destroy everything in the system in a matter of minutes." THAT is either a very, very tiny star system or some really bad math. For context, Neptune is about 4 light hours away, Pluto 6. It's probably the latter thought, since unless they used an Ori supergate the amount of mass they'd need to remove would take actually cosmological timescales time.
Hermiod is like the desk jokey who gets everyone else’s unfinished work piled before him after completing his own assignments. He doesn’t complain directly but for sure will make the most sly comments as he labors away. Probably one of the best characters of Stargate. Imagine if he was in the same room as O’Neill. The sassing back and forth would have been comedic gold.
I have done this with the original M16 with the original ammo. That was designed for it. 2 marine generals ordered a different type of ammunition for the gun on purpose to sabotage it. They went to jail overbut the guns were junk to begin with because they are pipe guns. To this day they are pipe guns. You have to break it down to pull a stuck around out of it. But they were originally designed to cut down.Palm trees just like the Thompson was decided to knock Adobe.Blocks at a building so they can get the people behind the wall
