The Romulans had Geordie perform a series of tasks when he got back to the enterprise to confirm, he was fully indoctrinated and ready to carry out the orders Spilling the drink on OBrien was one of those things It was also a nice fake out because we just seen him casually murdering OBrien

Well, the Shadows were right about dying if anything Vorlon touches them, seeing that it was a White Star that blasted their city!

The season 6 and 7 clips shows are really good

Why didn’t they just ask the Romulans for blood?

👎🏻

William Devane.. The man for the job whenever Jack Nicholson is too spendy and when Christian Slater is unavailable. (Anyone remember that bit in 'The Critic' when Maurice LaMarche lampooned them all in one fell voice?)

Veteran actor William Devane helps to elevate this material. He's likeable but also effortlessly adds an air of gravitas to the proceedings.

Civilian oversight is agenda driven, evil and headed up by Dick Jones. The US military should have sole discretion over interaction with alien civilisations in total secrecy from the world. Can you tell this series was backed by the US Air Force?

My favorite episode

The strangest part is the incoming president has actually played another president before. Look up the 1974 TV movie Missiles of October. Yes, he played President Kennedy alongside Martin Sheen's Bobby Kennedy. It The later was at this time wrapping up a stint on The West Wing. However that set wasn't used for SG-1. No, they got the one from X-men: The Last Stand instead.

Another name of this episode could be 'No Good Deed Goes Unpunished'.

There was a missed opportunity for another Mitchell and Webb clip here, with the fatal accidents bit.

19:11 what show is that clip from?

Of course Chuck isn't endorsing Biden! ... he dropped out of the race!

9:28 all good stories involve a crazy ex-girlfriend 🙂.

Thanks MEGABEATMAN. Good call.

19:50 - HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I HATE STARGATE :DDD Though I loved Stargate Universe.

I'm sorry, but I think spiders is the least of your problems as a whole. The last people who own my (mother's) moneypit of a modular decided to fix it up with the same haphazard mindset of the people who "installed" your chimney. One of the many examples is how they "installed the screen of my bedroom window. It is a regular side opening window with a metal frame. But, being a modular, it has fake shudders made of wood, on either side. Instead of being a screen and installing it or being a roll of screen and a frame and creating a screen, they jerry rig one. They take a roll of screen, stand outside of the house, lay it across the window, then STAPLE IT to the shudders on one side, to the house on top and on bottom and leave the other side open. Because you can't stable a screen to glass! (your problems still trump mine, don't worry). The screen is loose and bowed out on the open end. A staple came out, so it is also a tad loose on the bottom. My son just turned 18, so I agreed to take his cat in to care for so it doesn't have to be locked in his bedroom (at his dad's house) 24 hours a day to be kept away from his abusive half-brother. But the cat is a little feral and emotionally stunted from being in a bedroom for three years with little attention (my boy didn't know this would happen and I didn't know it was that bad). Northern Nevada gets in the 100s Farenheit during the summer months. As soon as we can turn the A/C off (which doesn't touch my room), I we open the windows. Now, I can't even have that window open because we fear he will escape through it. He is super fearful and cruel with his temper and nails that we fear he might not want to come back if he escapes. Last year, I quit my job to escape narcissists. At that time replaces the screen wasn't the biggest concern. Now, I can't replace it until I find a new job which is impossible in a town of less than 25k and no bus (local govt is cheap and corrupt). It's starting to grow, but still no buses!! My psychological issues and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome drastically limits my employment possibilities. So, I can't afford to buy real window screen right now! The point is that spiders and bug LOVE my room. While I'm reading, the spiders will come across my pillow from the behind the head of my bed to say hi as they run to the side of my bed and out of side. It happens so fast I can't stop or kill them. So, I understand your problem 100% but still think that spiders are the least of your problems! -My mother does not have a primal fear of spiders. She has a primal hatred for them (they love to join her in the bath, like Goldie Hawn in Bird on a Wire). DIE DIE DIE. What you just described the scenario for what your primal fear would look like is how her primal hatred actually looks like! She has bad eyesight. If I am in her bedroom chatting with her and she sees a dark spot on the wall or ceiling I am expected to check to make sure it's not a spider or bug that could walk right up to her and say (cheerfully), "HI NANCY! TELL HILARY I SAID HI, TOO!" If they want to live, they would avoid her! Idiots! -I believe you when you say that you weren't lying about Les. I've run into elderly like that. But, the whole encounter had to have been torutous. Especially since you were in a hurry. And, if Max is anything like my son, he was probably bored out of his mind wishing he had a Nintendo Switch in his hand to keep him busy (if he didn't sneak off somewhere to be on his phone while you finaggled). -[in a voice of George Burns] "Okay, now we're cooking something." Yeah, hopefully, it's meth. Then we can speed things up and get the hell out of here. OMG! I would have been going to crazy. I would have been polite and conversation, just like you. But, I would have been mentally tapping and toes and fingers and rolling my eyes! "It only cost your time" A lot of time and your sanity, too! But, helping local businesses helps the infrastructure of our country. Woo hoo! I'm glad you made it through that ordeal AND the rest!

I'll pretty much watch anything that Saul Rubinek is in.

Far from disbelieving you (becuase I believe everything you say in this documentary, even if I shouldn't), it just sounds so weird hearing you say that a room "fell off your house". I imagine the little girl at the end of the sidewalk of Shel Silverstein's book. Only, she is your house. The house sits over the edge of the cliff and a room has fallen off (from lack of ground under it) and into an abyss. It's a Silverstein book, so I am not exaggerating when I say an abyss. Was your house built at the end of a sidewalk or over the edge of a cliff, Chuck? It already makes sense that your house exists in some crazy ass place like the Twilight Zone, the Outer Limits, an X-Files episode, the Bermuda Triangle, close to-but not quite a Hitchcock film. At least you don't life in the Amityville house! (fingers crossed). -You are discribing your community of towns like the Bay Area. San Francisco is its own city. But, the suburbs going all the way down to San José are so close and so lined up that they don't feel like a bunch of little cities. They feel like neighborhoods of one big city. Like San Mateo County should be called City of San Mateo and all the little cities in it should be boroughs or neighborhoods. I lived in San Francisco until I was 7 years old. Then I lived in various places between there and San José until I was 18 years old. But, it didn't feel like shallow roots (as it was described to be) because I felt like the whole Bay Area was my home. Like I just moved from one neighborhood to another within the same very large metropolis. You almost described your cluster of communities that way. -"setback from the sidewalk" Does that mean that, technically, I'm right? You house is built on the edge/end of a sidewalk? (I am too busy laughing to finish this thought, but I don't think I need to.) -I was drinking milk when you mentioned that the new wheelchair you would get, in the future, might hover. Thankfully, I didn't lose the milk through my nose I would have been giving you the finger while laughing at what you did to me. I swear something you say some of the most unexpected things. I love it! -"....In some kind ..... In some .... in .... In some kind of thing with wheels ...." Even before you started doing that I knew where what needed. But, still I'm so glad you put the screen on black because it gave me a chance to pause the video and just laugh for two minutes straight. Thankfully, my family can't hear me laugh in the middle of the night due to the layout of the house (yet, I could hear their ever sound, grrr). I LOVE the irony of needing that wheelchair. And I love the way to tell stories! I laughed while writing this entire thought out, FYI! -"I think this has worked out as best as it could under the circumstances ..." I've discovered the videos years late. So, I am laughing at the closing statement knowing there is a Part 3. Poor you!

-OMG, less than four minutes into this video and I am LMAO over the combination of words and visuals. I visited the Wincester Mystery House, in 1996, so I get what you're saying. My brother, who is sensitive to the world around him, saw Mrs. Wincester in the corner of one of the rooms. A tiny wisp of a thing not even 5' tall, mind you. The only thing any of us could say about that house, as we left, was that it really wasn't worth the money we spent to visit because so many of the rooms were off-limits to view, since they never used the money from the admission tickets to make essential repairs to mansion after the 1906 and - especially - to the 1989 earthquakes. Cheapskates, allowing an historic monument to slowly decay to dust. I understand if some repairs couldn't be made, but I didn't hear any good excuses for why they weren't trying. -Maybe your house is a cousin of the Mystery House. How dare a physicists live there and try to put the laws of physics to use when explain why the hell the house doesn't care about physics. You are awesome Chuck. Less than five minutes into the video and I'm already so glad you took the time to record and post it. I canNOT wait to view the continuation videos. The entertainment value is through the roof. With that said, I am soo sorry you had to grow through this. It's horrible that nobody would buy it. Maybe you should sell admission tickets. Nobody woudl buy it, but plenty of people who love to witness these ungodly acts (and you have to admit, it is an apt way of putting it). Or donate it to a museum where physicists (other than yourself) can study it. You can have the published article for free as a gift for your generous donation. (I ended the sentences while laughing at my own genius.) -With no warning signs telling you to not to standing under it. ..... I am SOOO glad that you, your wive, your children, and any other family and visitors were not hurt by this "disaster waiting to happen". That would have been beyond heart-breaking and soul-crushing. "Stashed carefully away that it may never be seen" Until it crushes you, Or thankfully, in your case, peeked through the ceiling and said, "Hi, Chuck! Wanna hang out? Literally!" -I would LOVE to know the full latin scientific term for chimney-ectomy. I would SO find a way to use it in everyday conversation, if it just once. That would be awesome. Everybody already knows I'm weird, why not solidify their believes, amirite? --To be the first to ever deal with this, in recorded history, you are so the winner of The Murphy's Law award. I believe this whole-heartedly. Perhaps your not actually getting the award is due to the luck of discovering before anybody did get hurt. Regardless, it's not an award that would be wanted ... except for the bragging rights - nobody (except me and I truly believe everything you say here) believes you, anyway, right? -Your last comment about what could be stashed in the walls of the house makes me feel like I'm watching X-Files of William Shatner's The Unexplained. OMG, Mulder would be the biggest fan of this house, especially the physics of it. I would LOVE to have seen it as an episode. Fuck! Now, I'm excited for something that will never exist. HAHAHA! (After typing this, something on the corner of my screen caught my eye: A thumbnail of Eugene Tooms for a KZfaq Recommendation of your "A Look at Tooms (X-Files)". Even KZfaq is in on the joke, apparently.)

-If Odo can't perfect the Bajoran nose, I doubt he could perfect styrofoam for the #1 finger. But, it would be fun to watch him try. -"Wow. Nice day to you, too, Dick!" I have to agree with that one. Odo's statement was nothing short of telling Quark that he had small lobes. That was sorta below the belt. I'm denying I would said if in that same situation, but it was still a dick move! You go, Odo. Good luck avoid spit in your coffee for the next two months, though! (Which is the grossest thing I wouldn't never do, but I can see Quark trying to get away with it, with Odo.)

Nobody, no group is so innocent that they have done no wrong, but people have stopped asking if others are honest or have a hidden agenda. Everything happens for a reason, with causes going back centuries, but people have stopped asking why, or looking for the causes. People call themselves trustworthy and tell you to trust no one else but them... despite the many lies that have been told by them that are in blatant evidence. It's horrifying. Also the review and commentary is excellent, like it always is. It's been so long, I forgot this review, so it's good to see it again.

Y'know, maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't be too interested in taking part in a culture that demanded me murder a downed and unarmed individual, told me not to question teachings and stories due to HONOR, whose political machinations already had my mother killed, and whose legacy is one written in blood and violence across the stars either. Oh and hit me with pain sticks.

I hate Jake so much

So, Chuck isn't making a statement how we have a bullet almost killed a major party presidential candidate. Then the other parties candidate a sitting president no less, is forced to leave the race. Then the woman who replaces the sitting president refuses to give any interviews. But the media is completely ok with that, while asking almost no questions about how those first two things happened. Also very good review. I'll say on the topic of heroes. I think it was mistake to Kill Dr. Fraser they never really found a good doctor to replace her after this and didn't really seem to have a long term plan which sadly seemed to be the norm in the later years of stargate. I don't think a guest of the week would hit as keep but as with Atlantis when they killed there Doctor it was a wise move either. it might have served the story well but it didn't serve the series well.

I like this episode. Both "heroes" and SFdebris. I had heard this was loosely based on an episode of MASH. I gotta say loosely was a good descriptor, because I saw that MASH episode about a month ago, and it is a very good one. But a journalist covering a military thing making a story that never sees the light of day and someone dying in a combat situation and it having a real emotional impact are where they are similar. I believe the journalist died in the MASH episode and the main doctor ( Hawkeye) having the emotional thing are switched. They both hit me in my heart. But I also like it when sci-fi takes another story, and throws a twist on it. So many examples. Some take a story already redone in sci-fi and do it again. Darmok from TNG was Enemy Mine, which was a retelling of...................damn I forgot. A world war story. This one is good because it doesn't have to be a science fiction story. It could have been a Gulf war story, a 9/11 story, a firefighter story, whatever situation and it works as a story. But the acting, director, crew, even the guy cleaning the costumes really makes it. Saul Rubinek is a Tom Hanks quality actor, Ronny Cox, Rick, Amanda, Don, Michael, Adam Baldwin and the guys who play the escort and Siler are all so good and most of the cast play support to Saul. It's just good. I think if someone wanted to edit it correctly, it could be made to look like an episode of a show where Saul is a bumbling reporter and it would still be good.

And here I was thinking that Chuck had already reached 'peak grumpy internet guy' 🙂

People that try the “I assumed you knew” tactic for any argument are worthless.

The running gag of how many times Daniel has 'died' is easily one of my favorites in the series.

THE FACT THAT THE FACT THAT THE FACT THAT THE FACT THAT THE FACT THAT THE FACT THAT THE FACT THAT THE FACT THAT THE FACT THAT THE FACT THAT THE FACT THAT THE FACT THAT THE FACT THAT THE FACT THAT THE FACT THAT THE FACT THAT THE FACT THAT THE FACT THAT Could you please NOT say that?

This is one of the most honest and thoughtful things I've found on youtube.

Daniel Jackson, Jean Grey, Optimus Prime and Krillin All meat for poker every time they die.

I didn't realize this was the first appearance of Woolsey (and Inauguration is right after). I had remembered him as having a longer arc before he more or less sides with Hammond's SGC faction in Inauguration.

My favorite episode of SG:1. Not only because it is pretty good in and of itself. But also because it is a microcosmos of the whole show. It has everything, great acting of regulars and guest stars, comedy and drama (and mixing them without becoming cringe), great writing, great character work.

I thought the guy looked familiar.. He was on Frasier.

I think what you're trying to say is truth requires context

amogus

No one knows Biden’s nuclear policy, including him. Which is why he isn’t running for reelection.

Dr. Frasier? FRASIER CRANE? "TOSSED SALAD AND SCRAMBLED EGGS!"

I'm one of those people who includes the Robots, the parallel universes, and other timelines for all of Daniel's deaths, but I don't include his near deaths where he gets saved at the last minute or ascends. I'm also not including the events of Fire and Water. Overall, he dies about seven times. Once in the original movie, once in there but for the grace of god, Likely once in the fan fix episode, his robot counterpart dies in double jeopardy, he dies in ancient Egypt, probably of old age, his parallel timeline self dies after he gets taken by a goa'uld, and he dies at the end of Stargate Continuum so that Mitchell can go back and preserve their timeline from Ba'al taking over the universe.

The Stargate program is neo-colonalism.

I watched this episode when it game out and felt gutted by the outcome. When I got the DVD box set I refused to watch this with the commentary, I skipped over it.

Hi chuck. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos, restore the ones eaten, upload all.of them, everything you do for us, your fans and viewers. It is always loved and appreciated.

Saul Rubinek is such a fascinating actor, and it's not easy to pin down exactly why. Obviously he has talent, but it's more than that. Physically he's no Adonis, yet he has that elusive quality known as screen presence. He galvanizes a scene when he's in it with a kind of casual intensity, not an easy feat to pull off.

Not a fan of SG1, but Saul Rubinek makes everything better. Vaguely remember this episode, with his character getting the runaround with the others, which just seemed petty to me. He's here to do a job, and the other fail to understand that if they actually take the time to say their piece, he'd be gone. Plus, I remember him talking to someone about how he didn't see Carter die, but see her save someone's life.

I don't count the robots or alternate universe Daniels, as they are their own people with their own Death tallies but mortally wounded before being saved by a Sarcophagus... That's one I'm on the fence for. I also don't count MIA assumed KIA. And Ascendancy is another shrug.

Bride of Chaotica was obviously a nod to Flash Gordon movie serials of the 1930's. But, I absolutely love it, especially Kate Mulgrew's performance. Picardo as President of Earth was chuggle fest too😂

The funny thing is this is not the last time that Saul Rubinek will be dealing with a secret organization in the 2000s that aired on Sci-Fi. The other two are Eureka (as a one off guest star), and Warehouse 13 (as Artie Nielsen).

This feels maybe like a 2 out of 10 because the show has done worse before but not by much. Your criticism is valid all the way around though. This episode at least has all new content unlike the boring Shades of Grey, not as obviously racist and sexist as Code of Honor, not as dumb and ridiculous as Sub Rosa. I named 3 worse episodes (by a decent margin) off hand but I guess it's a judgement call if that bumps it up a point since you judge it up to other TNG specific episodes
