John Wilkes Booth posted:X-Files also featured Don S. Davis as Scully's father, who in the first episode I ever saw of the show died of a heart attack. He died of the same thing in real life (and in the alt-reality of 2010 IIRC) He was also awesome on Twin Peaks as the father of one of the worst characters in the the entire show.

One of my favorite moments is when Shepard and Mitchel meet and Shepard told him how to keep Mckay in line, by holding a lemon. Also that drinking game is as smart as the deadwood drinking game - drinking whenever they say gently caress or cocksucker.

Cryptic Edge posted:The secret is, Cam is his own grandfather. His grandfather in the picture is actually his grandfathers grandfather, but due to recursion errors theres an infinite number of Cam's in between the iteration you see on TV and his grandfather that he helped. Also Jack is Cam's father.

MrBling posted:Abydos was also moved magically closer to earth between the movie and the SG-1 pilot so it wasn't in an entirely different galaxy. The clip show introduces the best human villain so it has that going for it. Its also one of the few clip shows that continue the plot lines instead of just being there.

Cryptic Edge posted:It's stargate, we don't need a red shirt. If you need to kill off random people they can be introduced for that episode or season. The whole death, ascended, alive, death ascended alive thing got tired quick. It was a neat gimmick the first time, but they shouldn't have kept killing and redirecting him, as that made it mundane. Do not forget dead - oh wait it was just a trick. Also from the movie death and get to a sarcophagus

Cryptic Edge posted:I'm not bothered by the sarcophagus thing, because they quickly phased it out as dangerous, so it became a "last resort" item. The other killing his character because michal shanks is a dick parts could halve been done without. If he's that big of a dick, why not write him out of the show in a permanent fashion like they did fraiser. There was no need to resurect him after that, as he really didn't contribute too much other than "my friend died, now I'm sad, but wait he's naked in jacks office and not really dead" There was that awesome episode when Jack is captured and he stayed as Thor.

JetsGuy posted:The way I always interpreted the TV way of doing the PoO symbol was that there all the gates had ONE unique symbol... which was probably in the same place on the DHD on all planets so it didn't really matter. I got it as the last symbol is the one that is point of origin. It was usually just going to and from a planet so they only needed to know the address to home. However people like Daniel knew more.

Tighclops posted:I know Stargate is a goofy sci fi action adventure show with lots of completely outlandish bullshit going on right from the start, so maybe this is just blind sperging; but did anyone else utterly lose their suspension of disbelief when humans from Earth started building gigantic intergalactic spaceships in secret? I mean by season 9 or 10 or whatever they had them beaming skyscrapers into space and Jaffa conducting terrorist attacks on office buildings in cloaked cargo ships and meanwhile everything is supposed to still be a secret from the public. I read somewhere that the canceled stargate movie would be about the program going public and the poo poo storm that would occur.

SG-1 really had nowhere else to go, it would be boring if they still had to sneak onto gould ships to blow it up. We also would not have gotten the Battle of Antarctica

Yaos posted:Are there any other SG teams that have an armed scientist? There are other teams with scientists, but when we see them they are always fat, autistic, or both. Maybe Rodney will be Capt. Picard one day, he was pretty on the ball. McKay did go from randomly firing his gun in the air to knowing how to handle himself after the first Wraith attack, maybe it was character development. Well most of the other teams have one specific purpose. There is a diplomacy team, a scientist team, and so on. However, SG-1 always got mixed up in crazy poo poo so he picked up fire arms pretty fast.
