I think they knew it was a racist trope to have the darker skinned character also be the wise, quiet warrior. Still not sure why they went with it, and why the closest thing to addressing this issue on the show was the fact that girls WITH VAGINAS could do man-science!!!!! It's one of the worst bits of the series- why no black scientists? Or black military leaders? loving bullshit. Hollywood is goddamned racist. In the SG-1 episode "Tin Man", a robot dude makes robot copies of Sam, Daniel, Teal'c, and O'Neil. Robot Teal'c is messed up and tries to murder Robot O'Neil. The robot creator keeps calling Teal'c "different black". I always thought that was a reference to the racism of the show, but maybe it's not, who knows? Mu Zeta posted:It's a cliffhanger but it's not lovely Agreed! I thought it was an excellent send off for all of the stargate shows. It really captured the adventurous, sometimes melancholy but ultimately uplifting spirit of the show. You should definitely check it out!

I thought it was because the "copier" wasn't programed to take into account the two different brain patterns (Teal'cs' and his symbiote) that caused the original Teal'c copy to malfunction.

MadScientistWorking posted:Watch the episode 1969. Ooooooh starting season 2 tonight, so I should get there quickly considering my binge rate! I remember 1969 being an enjoyable time travel episode with young Hammond and awful/awesome fashion, but that's as much detail as I can dredge up! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-9RyHmjK-4 "Supreme Commander" is one of my favorite moments in the series that always sticks with me, though. Oh god, I have spent far too much time thinking about sci-fi today and not actually working. Yet I feel zero regret about this.

Should put something in the OP about spoilers - use spoiler tags for major plot points/character deaths/season finales, and non-spoiler tags for just about everything else? Or just assume everyone who is reading this thread has watched all the series? Its funny how many alien races are 1-shots in the show, like the invisible bugs or the aliens in Foothold. I do like however how some pop back up every now and then, just watched the "Trial of Skara" episode and it was great seeing the Tolaan and Nox again.

I think it's fair to make this a spoiler thread.

They should have kept her as a little girl, she was so much creepier and benignly threatening than the hamtacular adult version. I liked how the Ori arc started out as a series-ender but it seemed like they had too many ideas on the table and ditched the good ones for the quick and easy. There were all these references to Arthur returning like they were building to something huge, the random girl pulls the sword out of the stone and....nothing. They entirely dropped that and just continued the stretched out quest for a thing that wouldn't be resolved till a really bad tv movie.

twistedmentat posted:I always took the SGU uniforms looking different because they were setting it up as the SG program was slowing morphing into its own 4th branch of the military that was also pan national. Don't make the Russians, Brits, Germans, Chinese, Aussie and whomever else joins all wear American uniforms, and you can't have them all wearing their home nations uniforms because then they don't feel like a cohesive force. Apart from Rush were there any non-Americans aboard Destiny?

China, UK, and I think France were involved. One of the annoying things about Atlantis was that while Grodin wore a Union Flag patch on his arm, the scotch doctor got a saltire patch. On the one hand it was nice to see a reflection of the UK's large asian community, on the other it was bizarre, and a little offensive, to have that dreadful fake accent walking around with the Scottish flag when it should have been the same as Grodin's.

They had to trade for it awhile back, which is why there was a Russian SG team and why they got a F303 or whatever the big battlecruisers were, but before then the Russians were using their gate and it was mucking things up.
