True, but I would have brought seeds along, at least. The processed food will only feed so many people for so long, so unless they find a steady source of trading, they need to start growing some food.
Yep, but that'll take some months to be really productive in terms of food. If they manage to simulate a growing season (and have seedlings) it won't be as long, but if they can't find the facilities to do that they'll have to wait. Some crops would probably have matured by that time (the leafy veggies, mostly), but I wouldn't want to try to feed a city on them, and a large amount of that first crop will need to be set aside for seed. Really, I can see how they'd run into a shortage.
Three months... Yeah, that'd be about the point at which you could expect a hydroponics harvest soon, but not yet.
For Texas? Lol.
She's an anthropologist from the Great State, and insists that she can because it was a Republic at one point, therefore it counts as a country. Besides, as the only resident of Texas running about, the kitchen is therefore her's to look after (after she points this out the protester generally shuts up and leaves her to it - cooking for a community is not something most people want to be in charge of).
Heh. I have a feeling the Stargate writers confuse anthropologist with archaeologist. I mean, if there are no people, the ruins are your best bet to learn about them, but yeah, if they're still there, focus on them.
Exactly. We seem to have more than one person of each discipline running around (I can think of no other reason for the flock of physicists), so I bet he got chewed out for that later.
Lol. To be fair, I'd have a hard time buying that one of the Earth crew would do that. I mean, they agreed to go on a one-way trip and most of them are scientists who just want to learn about the ancient city.
Well, it doesn't make any less sense than people who have been in danger from the Wraith for centuries, and lost family and friends to them doing the same thing... *shrug* I'm not surprised it wasn't anyone's fault. No one had any motive.
But yeah, dismissing it completely wasn't a smart thing. Like you said, suspect everyone and you won't overlook something important.
Yeah, and you're less likely to get locked into one theory. And you make less of a jackass of yourself (listen to this Bates, it's important).
