Wright and Carlyle Explain the Neural Interface Chair

In Stargate Universe, the neural interface chair that the explorers on Destiny discovered is the precursor to the Ancients’ Repositories of Knowledge, and these devices have a rich history already laid out in Stargate SG-1.

SGU’s co-creator Brad Wright and star Robert Carlyle explain the function and history of the device in this video from MGM by way of IESB:

Young in a difficult position.” (From TV Guide)[/spoiler]
