He certainly was, my favourite was Dr Janet Fraiser, pity they killed her off.

like ordering correct potatoes.

Yukon Golds never did mash as well as Russets.

@@bobdole4694 Really? I find that Yukon golds make great mashed potatoes.

@@Avalanche041 They're bad for mashed potatoes because they're waxy potatoes, which result in tough, gummy mashed potatoes. The ones that are perfect for mashing are starchy potatoes, like russets.

Master Bra'tac appreciated Hammond of Texas.

Apart from Rick, Don was my favourite actor and Character in SG

I do agree with that! A great pity that he passed away some 11 years ago. George Hammond was his most recurring character. I think that I would've liked to have met him. I can be - somewhat - grumpy. We could have been so - together!

@@stephenfarthing485 Also, one interesting fact about John S. Davis - he was actually commanding officer in military in real life, which actually allowed him to give authenticity to the series. When he passed away, he received medal in memorial for his services for the country, and was burried with national respect. Not only he was great actor. General Hammond was somehow based off his own personal experiences. Things that make you human, things that make your personality. He didn't play the role, he lived the role.

his very last film he did was weird and kinda funny in a stupid kinda way

Or, as Hathor would say: The One with the Crown of Marble.

we here just say not bald just a butt up to the eyebrows :D

oops my bad...its the other way around ...forehead till the bottom :D

@@bobosims1848 alternatively, The King with the Crown of Granite

*touching bald head gesture*

All mistakes are equal. It’s the consequences that vary. He apparently learned to double check everything every time it saves more time than it costs and it saves everything. lol

I like to think that he oversees each dial personally, but this is the first one where he wasn't there to supervise. Anxiety strikes hard.

well, when you know there is a possibility to stepping into a solid wall, lava pool, or a moon without any atmosphere.... yeah id be pretty hesitant

Indeed.

I didn't know he died. Sad. Indeed R.I.P. General Davis.

@@jerobriggs6861 they killed off his character too, Gen Hammond passing was mentioned in the next ep and named a ship after him

The world, became just that little less enjoyable, when Don S. Davis died.

It was a very nice gesture they named a starship after him.

To be fair, a starship is more like things he would have experienced on earth, going through a wormhole is... there's literally nothing on earth that could even remotely prepare you for that

@@amandasunshine2 Water slides come close, but you don't travel so far.

@@kills26 lmao got a lot of experience traveling through wormholes, have you 😂

@@amandasunshine2 Well my favourite water slide as a child was called the wormhole. 😁

Well, technically he did not pilot the damn starship. He commanded it, others piloted it for him.

As a USAF senior NCO, I had the pleasure of working for a couple of Marine colonels like that. I'd have followed them into any silly situation they thought necessary.

Theri4444 he passed away awhile ago.

@RFS Korolev yes it is, at least by my standards.

RFS Korolev lol

RFS Korolev Its almost like youtube notifications are easy to ignore when you have a life.

That's nothing, just received a reply from like 5 years ago. As if no time had passed

Heh. I missed that and had to see+hear it for myself. That would have been a perfect opportunity for a closeup of Hammond's face and him rolling his eyes as she said that.

Heh all a formality. Similar to friends or even family of a high ranking person calling them by their title or role rather than name.

Indeed. I get the feeling that they intended to make a comparison with surfacing after being under water, but when I do that the first thing I do is exhale the spent air before breathing in fresh. Wouldn't be the first time a TV show made a mistake like that though.

Well you've just been disassembled into atoms and rematerialized, it must be kind of like waking up sharply. On TV people tend to inhale just after waking from a nightmare anyway.

From memory, it's also supposed to be very cold (at least in the first season), so just like when you get doused in cold water, the instinct is to inhale. That would be my guess anyway

@@TKGriffiths Now I remember. I used to have so live and tense dreams (read nightmares) that I almost suffocated in my bed. Don't know whenever I was dreaming or was awake when I was slowly losing oxygen in my blood as I was unable to breathe. Before I almost passed out, I finally was able to grasp a fresh air in my lungs. That was so scary, I almost thought I'm going to suffocate. I felt like my mouth is glued as I couldn't open it. Also, I felt like my nose is solid blocked, so I couldn't breathe. I actually started to panic, when an invisible force released the tension and I could breathe again.

Just a guess, but I'd say it's because atmospheric pressure at the destination could be different. If you had a lung full of air and the destination pressure was lower, it could make for an uncomfortable out-breath since the higher-pressure air you took in on Earth would be drawn out faster than you were used to. If the destination pressure was quite high, you might find it difficult to breathe out.

isnt that reynolds? his team gets shown/used/mentioned a few dozen times.

Yeah there were other specialist SG teams but again keeping with the Trope "Main Charachters Do Everything" this is the only episode where you see another SG team besides SG1.

@@Marinealver you see other SG teams all the time

@@DarthRushy You see them as they come back through the Gate or help as support during a mission. Real portrayal of them wasn't really a thing.

@@TyonKree there was a whole episode about SG-9 in season 1

Eh, Jack was better off as a member of SG-1. He didn't exactly enjoy being a desk jockey, iirc.

Great idea. Don't know why I didn't come up with that myself. Must have been tired. Changed!

kool :)

What was it originally?

Yeah I’m curious, what was the original title?

@@Aquagreen53 original title "here we go"

Naw, papa wolf. Kinsey was papa bear. You see bears are assholes out for themselves. Wolves are communal and look after their own.

Just guessing, but maybe they record the sound of something entering/leaving water and play it backwards?

In my head canon, it's the sound of Richard Dean Anderson slurping on his coffee.

they somehow got a hold of audio of me eating soup and used it.

He is sorely missed.

@@SGtidbits Damn that so true.

I like it. Bring it!

is that a typo

@@crackwitz Correct me. ;)

My guess is someone in the control room hits a button that cuts the power. With a gate connected to a proper DHD, the control itself likely has some kind of sensors that detect how many are headed towards the gate.

I think mostly it will maintain a connection as long as something, even radio waves, is going through.

@@brianorca yes that's how it's explained early on in season 1

I'm bugged by it too. EVERY stargate in the series closes when cinematically appropriate, not only when the SGC compound is involved. It just always knows!

@@marcus8710 while theres a signal eg person radiowave etc it stays open

I believe so. And I think it was the only time as well. Although I've seen him on the bridge of a starship once too.

isnt the first time the one when they went saving sg1 from Hator with a gate-ship and Bratak?

Marco Boscarol I looked it up. According to the Stargate Omnipedia on Gateworld, this episode Prisoners was indeed the first time that General George Hammond went off-world in order to negotiate for the release of SG-1 from the prison planet Hadante. There is another mention of him going off-world in the episode Fallen in order to help destroy Anubis' super weapon. So it seems that Neko Army was correct as well. www.gateworld.net/wiki/George_Hammond

@@SGtidbits A "meh" episode but see General Hammond pass trough the Stargate was a good moment. Always remebered for me.

Ehm... It's in the description. Along with some other information.

But imagine a close friend of yours steps through. Then the copy of the copy comes back a year later. They look exactly the same as your friend (but a year older) and behave exactly as your friend as well. Would you consider them to be a fraud and snub them, or would you accept them to be the friend they always were?

@@SGtidbits I'd tell them they're a goddamn idiot for going through that damn thing in the first place. Then idk. Hard to overlook something like that, no matter if the copy is perfectly the same.

Except the molecules that make you up are the exact same molecules that are used to so a more appropriate metaphor is you have your heart stopped you are then rapidly dismembered frozen so your parts are preserved transported a great distance on a convoy of trucks then perfectly reassembled at the other end and thawed and resuscitated. Not the same as being copied maybe though a little more disturbing.

@@Jason_Wilhelm Well the end result is the same. You stop thinking and the new You starts thinking. You die either way and someone thinking he's you continues.

@@NtoTheM that if you believe in a soul. You are preaching to the choir.
