1	!!FridgeLogic:

3	* How exactly did Cam get back to Earth after time traveling to save everything? One stargate was on that boat and under the sand until then and the other was under the ice.
4	** Through one of the many hyperspace capable ships that exist. He might have found a Tok'ra, explained the situation and asked for nothing more than to be given a ship and supplies so he can get the job done in x years. Or found a way to contact the Asgard.
5	** He didn’t, like the original and second [=SG1s=] in Mobius ultimately dying in the first two time lines, the first timeline version of Cam was stuck in the past while the corrected timeline Cam never had to travel back at all.
6	* At the end, Daniel wonders what [[spoiler:Ba'al's plan was]], and Teal'c responds that they "shall never know". Except they could, you know, ask [[spoiler:Ba'al's host who retains the memories of all that happened while he was under Ba'al's control.]]
7	** Keep in mind that the host is just a clone of the original; if Ba'al had a plan on this scale, would he have really shared it with his clones when there was a chance said clone could divulge anything to his enemies?
8	* How did Ba'al end up with Anubis's mothership, which A. designed himself? For that matter, where ''is'' Anubis? As a partly ascended being, he can't be killed.
9	** Considering that Ba'al knows about the existence of the Sangraal and how to find it (just because it was a clone who went there doesn't mean the clone didn't tell him about it), maybe (as an example of further FridgeHorror) he was able to use the Sangraal to kill Anubis ''and'' the other Ascended so they couldn't interfere with his plans?
10	* Killing Cam's grandfather would only cause Cam to not be born if his grandfather hadn't had kids yet when he died. Otherwise, Cam's dad would simply have grown up without a father, not poofed out of the timeline. Yet the grandfather has grey hair and wrinkles when he's killed. Not impossible that he had kids late in life, but a little bit of exposition to that effect would have been warranted because otherwise it looks like the writers overlooked something obvious. Unless the grandfather's death kicked off a ButterflyOfDoom effect that led to Cam's father either dying young or never marrying, but if that were the intention you would expect it to have been mentioned.
11	** Cam's grandfather was working in a rough part of the world in a more primitive time; it's generally agreed that people age better in the present than in the past, so his grandfather might have been younger than he looked.

13	!!FridgeHorror:
14	* Alt!Landry's speech about how they could re-do the Stargate program in this timeline might sound good, but when you stop to think about it, in this new timeline, they'll be starting at least a decade later than they did in canon, which raises an obvious concern; without the aid of the SGC, would the Asgard have ''ever'' been able to stop the Replicators? The Ori might not be an issue as the SGC can just take care not to use the communication device that attracted their attention, and the Goa'uld and the Wraith would have probably just continued their pointless conflicts with each other without Earth sticking its nose in their business, but the Asgard only defeated the Replicators in the end because the Tau'ri gave the Asgard an ally advanced enough to understand what they were up against without being 'handicapped' by pacifism or a loss of tactical awareness. Add in that the Asgard still had their genetic degradation to deal with, and it may be that the Stargate Program of this world would find itself in a more hostile galaxy that's lost most of their potential allies even if Ba'al ''hadn't'' also gone back in time to change things...
15	* Sam in the Alternate Timeline died when her Space Shuttle exploded. Way back in Season 2's "Secrets," Jacob tried to get our Sam into NASA as a dying gift. Our Sam turned it down because the Stargate Program was all she ever wanted and more. This reality's Sam Carter probably leapt at the chance to be an astronaut, since she became one. In a way, Jacob condemned his daughter to death in this timeline.
