"You're saying Osiris is here on earth manipulating Dr. Jackson's dreams?" I loving love General Hammond's summations of an episode, and that he just takes whatever SG-1 says at complete face value. Like , ok, Jack O'Neill is now 15. Let's just roll with that. All the weapons and half the food on the base just disappeared, must have something to do with SG-1, better start on the requisition forms to replace everything. General Hammond was an awesome character, and Weir and Landry couldn't hold a candle to him.

Ugh, First Contact/Lost Tribe, when they mentioned Hammond died... I had to pause and give myself a while before I could go on.

Was it in this thread that someone posted that Don S Davis actually insisted on the general being useful instead of being the typical obstructionist he was originally written as?

Yes. He was a (real) Captain in the Army and didn't want to play the stereotypical moron military commander so instead he went with the hyper-competent General Hammond

Not only did he want to be portrayed as competent and supportive, he also never wanted to be the focus of the show. He was adamant that the show be about SG1 and would refuse to let the writers make an episode just about him.

Which is a shame, because I really liked the episode where he was forced to retire and O'Neill went after Maybourne. That's probably the most Hammondy episode we got, and I could've stood more.

The best Hammond moment was when Teal'c was stuck in the gate and they were ordered to start using the gate again. Carter objects and he says something along the lines of: "it's a legal order. All I can do is resign and they'll have a new CO down here in an hour. Would that be enough time?". From anyone else that would have come across as passive-aggressive "just following orders" hand-washing, but from Hammond you know drat well that if Carter had said yes he'd have resigned without hesitation. Don Davis and George Hammond were both awesome.

Grammar The grammar of the Goa'uld language is fairly simple to grasp, the language uses a subject verb object (SVO) word order, as in English. Pronouns The pronouns of Goa'uld are fairly simple. At present, it is believed that Goa'uld has no third-person pronoun; instead, one uses the proper noun for that object. The pronouns are: Ta—I Lo—you Plural forms of these are created with the suffix -p, creating tap "we" and lop "you". The proper noun can also be used instead of the pronoun. It is unknown as to whether any special suffixes are used to indicate possession. Verbs Verbs in Goa'uld do not inflect for tense or person. Therefore, the Goa'uld verb tal pac can, depending on the situation, mean "to fall", "falling", "fell", "will fall", et cetera. In general, the context of the situation or time phrases in a sentence will indicate when the verb is taking place, as in most forms of Chinese. Suffix order Suffixes will be numbered (1), (2), (3) in the order that they belong. Intentionally or unintentionally, this is similar to the Klingon language; if the former, it could be a complex joke (a thing for which SG-1 writers are notorious). For example: nok "now" with -ia "not" (1) and -k "to be" (2) is nokiak "in the beginning there was". Notice that this is translated as "in the beginning", and not "in the end" or "not now", although it could mean either. The phrase mel nok "after now" is used to mean "later", while nokia is used to mean "earlier".

Don Davis and George Hammond were both awesome. I just watched this one. There's actually a great pause, making you think at first it's "just following orders" thing, but no, he's actually willing to do this: Hammond: "If I did that... I'd have to resign." * Carter looks down, dismayed* Hammond: "You'd have someone new here within the hour." [pause] "...is that enough time?" Hammond rocks.

That's probably the most Hammondy episode we got, and I could've stood more. Not so sure I agree - although I would love some well written Hammond eps, considering the lengths Amanda Tapping had to go to make sure her character was treated properly I'm not so sure I would have trusted the writers to make Hammond stories that were correct for him. His two stipulations were a sort of broad stroke way to make sure the writers balanced his character well, to keep them from making him The Most Super Cool Important Guy Ever And Also Buff As Hell Too (like Michael Shanks wanted), but also keeping him competent and vital, a character you like to see on your screen; someone who isn't forced into making lovely or dumb decisions for the sake of plot points (see: every IOA character). That's not to say he can't kick rear end on occasion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytpqhSh_Iac&t=42s (truth be told I was trying to find the video of him trying to reach the president, saying "do you know what color this phone is?" but this is Hard Clumping fucked around with this message at 02:04 on Jul 10, 2015 |

Window of Opportunity is definitely up there, but it will never top season finales overall. If you refer to funniest, then definitely with some choice gems in other episodes... like Teal'c having coffee and getting rid of the ice cream before it melts.

mossyfisk posted:Uh huh, that's great. The word kree has many meanings, but it is in essence used as a general call to attention or a call to duty. It is often used as a generic call to action, being translated as "be prepared", "aim", "listen up", "let's go", or even "yoo-hoo". Kree can be combined with verbs to indicate action or as an imperative. For example, kree hol means "We are going", "Let's go", and by adding mel "to die, to end" it becomes kree hol mel "We are standing by" or "Wait." It is frequently heard addressed to a particular group, as in, Jaffa, kree! (alternatively kree Jaffa!) "Listen up, Jaffa!" or "Jaffa, Attention!" It is occasionally heard addressed to other groups, such as Tok'ra, kree!, Tau'ri kree!, Goa'uld kree!, and Shol'va kree!.

I think Window of Opportunity is stronger than people tend to remember because while the main body of the episode is wacky, the ending is one of the more affecting they did, with Jack talking the guy down by pointing out that he couldn't watch his kid die over and over, no matter how much he'd love to spend another day with him.
