Well, all shows tend to have a "bible" they use...and you'd think they'd settle on character's ages and such when they start a series. I mean, they had a 2-year commitment for SG-1 from the get-go from Showtime and quickly gained a second 2-year commitment. So yeah, as a writer myself, I'd expect them to plan for age references and the like. But that's me.

ROFLMAnatomyO! That's apparently the case because the Goa'uld were *always* in the same get-ups. Well, maybe not the women - Nirrti and Osiris had different outfits, I believe.
Another good one was the reference in Threads - in the Jacob-Selmak's dying plotline - to Jacob having nearly died "four years ago", which in RL time it was about seven years...
I loved how they had Daniel say (in "1969") that he was 4yo in 1969, when Michael Shanks wasn't even born then. But the producers have commented how *young* Shanks was when he took on the role; in fact, it was a big concern for them as he was supposed to be a well-respected (then *not* respected) PhD. So I'm guessing they needed the character to be that old, even if he looked 18 when he came back from Abydos.
Anyway...it gives us fans something to talk about!
