So how did the Ancient's use it? Did they have portable wire guides?

It's even funnier when you remember the first person to go through it was connected by tubes and they thought he had died when the portal shut off and the tube was cut

Walter realizing how stupid he was when he realized their strings were cut.... XD

@@craigh5236 Drones as those x things the strings hang from.

And teal’c puppet laughing at their defeat 😊

"......is he drawing a dog?" High five for any Brits that get that reference.

I cannot stop laughing.

@@richardsavings6690 Damn that's familiar!

Ennit? But he help make it spin so who cares?

That could also describe Sargeant Major Johnson from Halo.

Although I don't really remember O'Neil laughing that much.

@@Edax_Royeaux he may have not laugh but he did mouth off from time to time.

​@@hawkeye5955 The man surfed on an Elite in space after a ring blew up, so if he's laughing, it's clearly quite appropriate.

@@Edax_Royeaux that's right, O'Neil is uptight. O'Neill is the one with a sense of humor

O'Neill has a problem with scientists, not women.

she never said anything like that tho lol it was poking fun at other shows lol

@@AckzaTV Actually, she did. It was in one of the first episodes.

@@AckzaTV She was making fun of what she said in the first episode. Literally word for word.

@@AckzaTV Someone needs to go back and watch the first episodes :P

Yeah, the actors, writers and producers ability to realize just how silly most of it all is, really makes it easy for us fans to accept what we are watching.

That’s it! You nailed it.

@@terranceaskew3165 Its just lampshading they are admitting their scripts ain't perfect and directly pointing at the fact. Still these meta humor episodes were funny.

This whole episode is probably not canon, given how far off the rails of the crazy train they went.

Ja ich bin ein schrecklicher Schüler Lehrer :D

Sadly she never mentioned blowing up a sun

"Then get to it".....sounds like she already did, lol

It's kinda unfair to make fun of the 'astronomical chances of finding life that Looks like humans' (which is also making fun of the languages spoken in the milky way). Stargate has you covered for all that, after all! I think they did a great Job. Many races speak english, but with Explanation, but there's also a lot of other languages, and often, SG-1 Needs to translate.

@@slevinchannel7589 the English thing doesn't make sense, it just simplifies the show so it's watchable and I accept that

@@mojebi3804 They tried the whole "everyone speaks other languages" thing initially, then realised that everyone having to use Daniel as a mouthpiece gets old really fast.

The exact moment the fictional USAF went full authentic US Army

@@LordTalax Did you seriously just grammar nazi a 7 year old comment?

@@Effect-Without-Cause It is the only way

if he wants it to spin he might as well get the prototype gate from Stargate Universe

RDA actually did that so they re-created it in the puppet

I forgot which behind the scenes it was, they said it was very difficult to puppet that (they were mimicking poses by the actors), and "of course" it was RDA who came up with the one pose that would give them trouble.

O'Neill with 2 L O'Neil with 1 L has no sense of humor at all

So much fan entertainment in one episode. But that litle detail is extra special.

It has to spin! It's round! Spinning is so much cooler than not spinning. I'm the general and I want it to spin. *Now*.

S-171 Cam Spinning line is the best. Don Davis' last episode before his death. RIP.

Oh wow, I had no Idea he even died...

WolvesbaneNetwork Yeah, I just did a Stargate marathon run a couple months back. I figured he only died in character, but then I saw "Children of the Gods: The Final Cut" is dedicated to Don S. Davis.

+How Do Ya Like Me Now, Chucklehead? he was in stargate continuum so that was his last appearance as hammond

but so BADLY too both sharpie bits are absolute comedic gold.

Richard dean anderson is tired

Don't agree with your theory at all. Just like every other character in that segment, they were 100% based on the TV actors' characters. What you're confusing as some kind of a homage to James Spader is that they based the puppet's look and performance on Michael Shanks' well known, early episodes attempts at mimicking James Spader's version of Daniel. His recreation of the James Spader interpretation of DJ is the very reason they liked his audition the best. Over the years, Shanks' Jackson has naturally evolved from the bookworm archeologist who remained on Abydos, and is quite different from Shanks' OG version. This was an "origin story", so naturally they wrote, and Shank's performed, his original, James Spader inspired interpretation of the character.

@@CarbonTech19 Jack/RDA's influence is clearly palpable on Daniel's behaviour mid-series, makes sense!

​@@CarbonTech19 i was gonna say, didn't O'Neal puppet look more like Kurt Russell?

There's no time for that now.

@@mikesmyth6576 you have a mission to go on

I’ll try spinning that’s a good trick

only reason the Spore drive exists in ST:D

I like imagining the actor saying these lines after so long playing the serious General.

and then SG:A gate doesn't spin

The General does get what he wants in StarGate Universe because the Gate in that show does spin

MasterFeign And he also, for some goddamned reason, draws on a freaking monitor with a marker.

You can only draw so well with a puppet.

@@sanityisrelative happened in the original movie, but in that he at least got a proper drawing out...

I think it was hammond's response that general hammond does as well lol

His drawing looks like stick figures having a bloody fight or some weird o*** with different shapes.

THat automatically excluded any chance Vader was involved with it.

@@tiagodagostini its coarse and rough and it gets everywhere.

@@tiagodagostini did you come here from that prequel memes post also?

Met him at a con some years ago. He was nice to our kids.

Not only that ... it's actually better than the original movie, lol.

Lots of callbacks here. Carter making fun of how she was written in the first few episodes, Oneill's clothing from episode 1, among other things.

That actually happened? 😁

Well, SG1 IS technically the sequel to the original movie, so yeah...

@@35mm21 Uhh.. The base is based on a REAL base in Cheyenne mountain, so yeah, they probably would already have a base there.

Eh, it would have gotten old after a season.

Too much like "Team Amerika" or a SG1 parody for me. 1-2 episodes tho could've been fun, a sort of "improbability drive" like accident when going through the stargate.

@ Mat Cauthon... It's not Team Amerika they were doing a parody of ....it was Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's Supermarionation.....

joeracer302 only if it was

but if it was done like this there would be no gate travel because the strings get cut

yeah thats write about shit create sg-1 really actors must take target at gun and going to prision beacuse thats serial really shit then film

@@lewsmal9959 lol wut

I never noticed that before. Brilliant!

@@svensorensen7693 That's because it's not true!

​@@larrysmith2638 yea just double checked, I didn't see the resemblance..

he will never know freedom after that xD

@@shaezbreizh86 yes, but that moment was worth a thousand freedoms

ROUND 1 FIGHT

According to the commentary RDA actually did that when they rehearsed this part

***** Actually in the pilot she says "reproductive organs" but here she says "sex organs"

Well, sometimes the penis is an internal organ. (We really like those times...)

Yeah, it's intelligently written. I'll never tire of it.

It's actually barely any worse than his actual writing XD

@@specialpatrolgroup92 It's called a joke you psychotic insane person.

+MakaraTube Well, not any MORE. ;-)

+MakaraTube I just remembered that James Spader was in the SG movie back in 1994. That's some interesting thread tying them all together.

+tyro244 Wow, yes. Coincidence? I don't think so!

@@tyro244 And he was the voice of ultron in the Avengers film, where he uttered the line, "there are no strings on me"

@@wibblelord2633 shows a scene from usual suspects indicating daniel jackson ascended on purpose to break the 4th wall and become a program and then a machine.

"I feel so stupid"

Haha like the Wormhole-X episode or whatever it's called, the actor "so if I'm out of phase and can walk through things, how come I'm not falling through the floor or stairs".... "uhhh i dontnknow, justbcause"

@@SquirrelASMR Yeah they're actually all stunned when he asked the question and it's funny because I remember asking myself that same question.

@@bradadult5290 Been asking that since the 90s thanks to TNG ep where Geordi & Ro accidentally got phased.

Right?

Thunderbirds are Go!

Yeah, it's round!

+Anonymous Joe and plus spinning is so much cooler than not spinning!

The gates in SGU did end up spinning too

Ooooh yah! But I did see this in the episode first. Very enjoyable. 😅

I would have given this 2 likes 👍

Still a great show

You should have said puppet Walter

Best! :D so adorable somehow

classic banter

Teal'c: Indeed

Everyone: Yes!

In fairness, Star Trek did wedge in an implausible "panspermia" concept to attempt to explain it all during TNG. You know, ancient aliens. Seeding all the planets with DNA that somehow would end up creating humanoids. Even though that kind of doesn't make any sense with how evolution works or they're implying that the humanoids are not related to the other non-humanoid lifeforms on their planet or, somehow, these ancient aliens accurately predetermined what species would eventually emerge (even though that's chaotic and mathematically impossible to do). I mean, it's nonsense. But at least Star Trek tried to bake in an excuse for it all. (And, in fairness to Stargate, there is at least some explanation - that the System Lords actually kidnapped humans from Earth and sent them all over the galaxy. Plus, Stargate at least bothers with some convincingly different humanoids in the Asgards. Like, actual aliens. Not just humans with bumpy foreheads.)

@@klaxoncow Yeah that is a fair point. But the joke doesnt work if you remember that bit of lore. :P

Sir, the odds against anything coming from Mars are a million to one.

...I believe he is making fun of the Atlantis gate not spinning but just having moving lights... So he was saying how the original is way cooler than the new one. Rubbing it in the whole way. I love this show.

@@heathb4319 I think you're right about the Atlantis reference. Spinning is a cool effect, but if I were creating such an advanced piece of technology, I'd allow it to be dialed faster than a rotary phone.

@@RationalEgoism ...kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gsWGf9metMCvmIE.html..this is video about the different types of gates you may find interesting.
