In SG-1 why did the displaced mongols on another planet they found speak perfect English? Were they not taken by oppressors hundreds of years ago as slaves and then dumped on another planet? How did they learn English as well as someone who has lived in murica for most of their natural lives?

Did the team someone get hold of translator microbes and implant them in themselves and every mongol on the planet they speak to off camera?

Why specify the Mongol episode versus every single episode where the encounter an ancient human or alien species that speaks perfect English?
The English of the 1990s wasn't even recognizable until around the 1500s, so it's a major plothole of the series (I'd argue the biggest one of all), and you have to more or less accept it within your willing suspension of disbelief, like how Star Trek's universal translators somehow change mouth movements and work on uncontacted species.

Some dubious attempts at canon explanations I've seen are they they do indeed have some kind of secret military 'universal translator' technology, or that the Goa'uld forced all their subjects to speak English at some point for convenience sake.

Also worth noting that they lampshade it in 'Wormhole X-Treme' by having the writers handwave some logical error by saying "it's no worse than all the aliens speaking english"
The same episode also lampshades how 'out of phase' people can walk through walls but don't fall through the floor.

Oh dear.
>Why specify the Mongol episode
I have only just started watching SG-1 and I had hoped this was just a minor inconsistency which was in the mongol episode alone, the inhabitants of the first planet could have learned English I suppose but the mongols? What were they thinking? Why was SG-1 even allowed to continue on for 10 seasons and 2 more shows for 350 episodes?

How did they even take the mongols as slaves considering the gate was demolished in eygpt? Unless there are gates all over earth and they are leaving that for future episodes

How did this show get 10 fucking seasons and hundreds of hours? Did the viewers just ignore everything that happened without questioning it? It is supposed to be science fiction not retarded shit like this

so fucking dumb

the movie really did it so much better by having aliens actually speaking an offshoot of ancient egyptian or whatever the fuck that was, it was subtitled

>The Earth countries seem more different than all the cultures they find on other planets who all live in the same medieval town and speak perfect English.

What did they mean by this?

I just want to watch Claudia Black, does it matter if I skip to season 3? Aren't all the episodes roughly the same before then?
