I think that part of the reason that this story bugs me is the choice to make Jack the Needs-Exposition Character at the beginning. He's the second in command of Stargate Command, leader of its number one off-world team. Before his sons death, he was a black ops soldier for at least most of the eighties, a field that requires serious smarts to survive. He's been a major player in operations against the rogue NID elements since the beginning. For him to know nothing about the hospital and the SAO players? It doesn't make sense, and it makes him look incompetent. Which isn't an uncommon thing for Vathara and Jack, sadly.

On another much more flattering and amusing note, I do have to laugh at the demonstration of how crossovers can often fix up plot hole problems. The moment you hear the NID and Ancient tech was involved in SAO, every single bit of bullshit about the Nervegears makes perfect sense. Of course it works in ways that should be implausible, it's Ancient tech. Of course something seemingly innocent is actually stupidly dangerous, it's Ancient Tech! (Seriously, those guys probably blew up a solar system trying to make a better lightbulb.) And of course Kayaba was able to sneak his murder tech into the general public, it's the NID, who probably hire Cerberus for contract work Smile
