Okay, LJ hivemind, I've got a 'gateverse question maybe you could help me out on:
Consider ring transports from ship to planet and vice versa. Does this method of transportation from planet to ship require at minimum two people: one to beam up and one at the controls? I know we've seen on the show the reverse can be done with only one person (set it and then dive for the rings). But I can't seem to remember if we've seen one person be able to beam themselves up. (If so, probably via remote control.)
Of course, the absence of this capability would kind of explain the overall superiority of Asgard beaming tech, except I thought the rings were yet another piece of Ancient tech cannibalized by the Goa'uld. I could, of course, be wrong.
(Why, yes, I have nothing better to think about at 9:45AM on a Monday morning right before class.)

Ah. Okay, I parsed that wrong. Sorry.
this series has a remarkable ability to just change things for their own convenience.
You'd think these things are "plot devices" or something. :)
Yes! Specific ring problems are good. Gives me more data points to puzzle it out. (And then share with the rest of you.)
