* VillainBall: The NID swiped the second Stargate and put a replacement in place...made of plastic. Needless to say, the SG-1 team figures out that the gate is fake as soon as they tap it. Granted, it's not as if they could have reproduced the material it's made of, but you'd think they'd at least spring for a more convincing fake.
