1969 (Stargate SG-1)
A powerful
solar flare crossing the path of the Stargate's matter stream causes the
SG-1 team to be propelled around the sun and travel back in time 30 years. They arrive inside a top-secret missile testing facility and are arrested by guards that think they are
Soviet spies.
Whilst Colonel O'Neill is interrogated and uses comedic answers to deny any connection to the Stargate facility, a young lieutenant searches through SG-1's possessions and discovers a note stating that he should help them, a note
General Hammond had given
Captain Carter before they left. After escaping custody with the help of the lieutenant, they discover that he is in fact General Hammond, 30 years younger.
The
SG-1 team must find a way home but it seems apparent they are doomed to be stuck in the past. However, Carter, using the note, which includes two dates and times, grasps that the dates actually describe two more solar flares on the opposite side of the sun. And to use these flares as an effective measure it getting back to the future, they must find the Stargate.
After a bold hitchhiking maneuver by
Teal'c, SG-1 is able to travel across the country with a hippy couple, Michael and Jenny, who are heading to Woodstock, in their bus. Donning a convincing German accent,
Daniel Jackson learns the location of the Stargate from
Catherine. SG-1 manages to activate the gate (stored in an old D.C. armory) and run through under fire from guards.
However, they arrive in an empty, dark gate room. An elderly woman walks in, who is actually
Cassandra, and tells them that they stepped into the Stargate a few seconds early and were sent far into the future. She reactivates the gate and tells them that they must return to their time. The team arrives back in the normal gate room with General Hammond reminding O'Neill of the money he owes him. Which is around $500 ($539.50), after interest.
Micheal: So your thing, that thing, on your forehead; what's it symbolize? peace?
Teal'c: Slavery, to False Gods.
Micheal: Right on. So It's made out of....
Teal'c: Do not discuss it further.
Micheal: I dig. It's cool. [pause] So you just go waywall?
Stare from Teal'c
Micheal: Hey, we're cool. After the concert me and Jenny, we're even thinking about crossing the boarder up to Canada.
Teal'c: For what reason?
Micheal: You know, man...the war.
Teal'c: The war with Canada?
*Though it is not shown on screen, apparently Daniel Jackson teaches Teal'c how to drive a car. This is known because when Teal'c drives a car in the season 6 episode "
Smoke & Mirrors",
Jonas Quinn asks the obvious question, "who taught you to drive?" Teal'c replies, "Daniel Jackson." Jonas asks when; the reply is "I believe the year was 1969."
