You like that do you huh

nice catch! It definitely sells the SG training

Real Air Force personnel

Wait, he voiced Thor?

@@michaeldaniels642Indeed.

Who wouldn’t be glad to serve under a C.O. like Hammond, a gentleman whose _granddaughters_ are #1 on his speed-dial, _above_ his commander-in-chief? 😊

The actor who played Hammond, Don S. Davis, passed exactly a month before the release of the 2nd SG1 movie (of which was his last SG role). He had heart disease that caused a massive heart attack that wasn't recoverable. The SG1 series dedicated an episode to him at the time of his passing, and had his character die of the same condition off screen. They later paid homage to his character by introducing the U.S.S. George Hammond. It was actually a really amazing handling of an actor's passing. As for Universe: I completely agree. It was unfortunate a tragedy of writing exhaustion at the time mixed with a need to change direction. The scene writing and scripting tried too hard to mirror Battlestar Galactica--which was the big hotness at the same time on SciFi. Looking back at the timing of everything, they could have just waited a year before introducing Universe and given Atlantis another year. They'd likely have transitioned into Universe FAR better and much of the dead episodes they had in season 1 would have been better received or rewritten smarter.

@@Spineraker4 well said! I was and am a fan of of 2007 BSG series. Certainly, it had a better story arch and SG Universe did have those dead episodes which didn't seem to fit into the overall story. However, even those episodes showed promise in large part to the actors. I did like that most of the character were complex and multifaceted especially the colonel (I think that was his rank). The same actor later guest starred on S.W.A.T. where he also portrayed a complex character. Of course, he was just a guest there. Sadly, a lot of good shows tend to canceled too early. The 2018 spy drama "Pine Gap" is another example of this.

@@Spineraker4 He was mentioned in Stargate Atlantis final episode. SG-1 was already over before his death.

Air Force advisors didn't like her hair growing out.

SG-1 did an admirable job of not overtly sexualising the female leads as was rampant during that era (n.b. TNG yoga). Yet despite that commendable mindset, sometimes I think they went too far in trying to hide her femininity. For example, off-base she'd often be wearing unflattering frumpy clothes, while Teal'c would be in a tank top of bulging muscles. Her hair feels much more natural in this scene. With all that said, I'm glad they went too conservative instead of giving her the Seven of Nine treatment. Similarly I think they did a fantastic job with Janet Fraiser, the actor is stunning but she was never sexualised. Unfortunately guest actors seemed to exist under a different philosophy and some of it was uncomfortably gratuitous. Anise's outfit and the dialogue sexualising her (a top Tok'ra scientist) was pretty gross.

@@beardedchimp Anise was brought in specifically because they thought they needed to introduce sex appeal to the show because of 7 of 9. The actress had even auditioned for the role of 7.

​@@DomWeasel but it didn't help and they didn't really have a plan for her character so she just stopped appearing

In fiction, there are (usually) two results: baby's bottom or Grizzly Adams.

And Sam also somehow had makeup on lol

I mean hey, you can bring a mirror and stuff with you on missions.

military peeps always carry lots of lives, so shaving isn't an issue. finding fresh drinkable water on another planet now.... remember they where on the planet for a week with nothing to do

Again?! Yeah... you're probably right.

Vaniellys the Valiant has returned.

Carter had the foresight to take one with her when she and Teal'c joined O'Neill on the ship during the previous ep.

Your mom gave them one.

Maybe Jack having been beamed up before keeps one on him at all times

Even before the alpha-site, they should have had an address to use in the case of problems. Get separated, lose/damage your IDC, can't dial Earth, then go to this safe planet and we will dial it once a day checking for survivors.

@@beardedchimp or knowing were there is mission with no control of the gate.

Ah Murder holes, such an underappreciated invention ;)

Diplomatically I think it is bad enough as it is. Thor arrives and has a dozen guns pointed at him. Any time SG-1 arrives on another planet if they are greeted by weapons, it is presented as unjustified aggression despite the fact they always arrive themselves armed to the teeth. SG-1 was irked that when trying to walk heavily armed into the Tollan's highest court that their weapons were disabled. Imagine the response if the Tollan visited Earth with similar gear and tried to walk into the US supreme court.

Hm? Too short a season?
