Yeah. Someone put it up on Daily Motion unsurprisingly.

He already is evil, he just was also selfish and wanted to sit around fishing instead of ruling the galaxy with fear.

I started a re-watch of the franchise and except for a couple of episodes SG-1 has to have one of the most solid first seasons of any scifi franchise.

Sarcophagus use makes you evil. Goa'uld inherit genetic memory from their forbears, so ALL Goa'uld are evil. Sarcophagus tech is based on the Ancient version.

Just like all problems, even the Goa'uld being villains is entirely the Ancients' fault.

I love Ba'al episodes. He just has so much charisma, and he makes a hell of a lot of sense even when he's dropping knives at you somehow. He's one of the few Goa'uld I actually felt decently threatened by, most of the others were far too silly. Ba'al rejected or ignored a lot of the ceremony and finery and focused on pragmatism. I also liked how he took very easily to human ways, hiding among the business class because he had exactly the temperament and ruthlessness to excel there.

They should have had an episode where they cold open on what looks like present day Earth, and then follow a group discovering the Stargate, learning how it works, assembling a team to go through it. Basically the plot of the first half of the film. Then right at the end, they dial a random planet to start exploring the universe, go through the Stargate for the first time, and are instantly disintegrated by the closed Iris on Earth. A quick scene of SG Command shrugging off the incident and going about their day, and then credits.

Ancient engineer 1: "Alright, the first two Stargate are in place and ready to be used!"

Ancient engineer 2: "I can't see the other side. How do you know that it's safe to use?"

Ancient engineer 1: "It successfully connected."

Ancient engineer 2: "What if something is blocking the other side?

Ancient engineer 1:" I didn't explicitly build anything into the Stargate to block it so it shouldn't happen. "

Ancient engineer 2: "Good enough for me." [stamps 'approved for universe wide deployment' on the form]

I was showing some of Stargate to my mom, and we got to the episode where Daniel's wife is freed from goa'uld control as a side effect of pregnancy, and my mom really focused on how apparently they just found the cure for infection and just forgot about it.

Inject a bunch of hormones into a host, and bam.

They also only brought missile launchers like twice.

I think the powerwheels covered in crud they use for the MALP was way cheaper than CGing anything flying and exploding (as everything must inevitably do).

I always liked when they'd send a MALP to find a MALP they sent. So the MALP would be looking at this MALP like "sup"

Well they had to make another one after the first one stopped moving and what were they gonna do, throw the old one out?

That or they needed a non mobile one for some scene at some point.

Some episodes just feel like the writers ran out of ideas, had already spent the entire budget for the season and went to the prop room and said "what can we do with what we have".

I hate that we are past them. Sure we get some stinkers, but it means not every episode has to be plot important. The writers can play around with a concept without worrying about how it effects the greater narrative.

I like the first season a lot because it's hilariously uneven and there are at least two episodes where it feels like Showtime probably wanted there to be nudity like the pilot and someone said no. Hathor and Brief Candle iirc

It's a lot more fun than season one of TNG, even though I like TNG better in general (and for whatever dumb reason can't stop comparing them to one another).

Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded.

It's an easy comparison to make since they both have the exact same third episode written by literally the same person.

Yeah, Jack wasn't being driven crazy by the sarcophagus per se but by being tortured to death and resurrected over and over to experience it again. Goa'ulds treat the thing like a visit to the spa, that's what messes them up.
