So. I never watched the show in order until recently. Im on the late season 2 episode with the wormhole and I think I was scratching my head before with some other episodes as I thought it was two way. That episode finally made it clear it was one way. Also will add a mildly infuriating but do a community search for stargate does not bring up this community.

The shield is for hostiles incoming. I think that was established within the first episode, you dial in, send the code, and the shield isn't used. And the movie set up the one way part, otherwise there's no plot to find the dial home address.

That's just how that physics works. You can't have a water slide go both directions.

    The series is far better, but that's not fair to the movie since it had a unique idea to try and piece together in one shot. The series corrected some of the issues and ran with it, and because it could developed the characters and stories better. And still gave numerous credits and nods to the film that started it all.

    It's okay to not like the movie that much, there's a lot of things wrong with it. But more that's right. :)

    I mean I think we see this in the modern age. series used to be seen as lesser than movies but now series are seen as kinda a better medium to tell the whole story. I think that is why we have ones with one or only a few seasons now because there is really only so much to the story.

    Maybe some of them. The others only have one or two seasons, if that, because the network/studio/whatever is all about a quick buck and not actually seeing the story through properly. By the time one is aired or streaming, they've already got their eye on the next one.

    You also have to have good writers who see more than just the starting content. Look at Rogue One>Andor, all born from taking a single line at the start of a movie and asking, what happened there?
