that said, in official canon, almost all of the "continuity errors" are either not addressed at all, or addressed as "yeah, well, our assumptions we made, they were wrong, oops, we don't know everything!" which is the tactic i prefer best when the only alternative is something rather convoluted(mostly due to the roland and devlin school of science).
Heheh, thanks for all that, Chris. As I've noted before, one thing I've always liked about SG-1 is that the show doesn't take itself TOO seriously... even the characters (particularly Carter) at times address continuity errors directly - as you say, with "yeah, well, our assumptions we made, they were wrong, oops, we don't know everything!". Which makes our "heroes" all the more human, and thus more interesting to watch, IMHO.
And again I'll reiterate: the continuity between the original film and the series, and within all 9(!!) years of the series, has held together remarkably well - far better than that of the Trek universe, and certainly no worse than that of the B5 universe (which is all the more remarkable when you consider the pre-planning JMS put into his universe right from the start!)
