On one of the special features they were talking about how the Air Force wouldn't let them have romance between Carter and O'Neill. Did they mean they didn't want to depict a relationship between two officers or that the Air Force didn't want them showing it on screen?

If I'm interpreting your question correctly, you're asking whether the Air Force had a problem with superior officers being shown dating their direct inferiors or if the Air Force had a problem with Air Force officers being shown, on screen, having sex with anyone at all. In that case, it's definitely the former. Carter had many relationships with other officers who weren't her superiors and the show had no problem depicting sex. It was the idea of romance down a specific chain of command that they rejected.

Well, thanks to the wonders of Netflix, I marathoned Atlantis. It ended too suddenly for me, and now I'm like Ronon being cold turkey'd off the Wraith Enzyme. And yes, first contact was awesome especially the Asgard reveal. Makes me wonder how much bickering would occur if you locked O'Neill, Jackson, Sheppard and McKay in a room together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfUoAP90EiQ (Jump to 6:45)

My name's not Kirk. It's Skywalker... Luke... Skywalker. Also, I love how Zelenka actually speaks czech. e: I would have LOVED to see a scene of Sheppard and McKay arguing over which is superior, Startrek ships or theirs, and Rodney slips in a dig at Voyager and it taking 70 years to get across the milky way, when they can ferry from the Milky Way to Pegasus in around 3 weeks on the Daedalus.

I think it was mostly a political thing, insofar as the Air Force gave a lot of advice for verisimilitude, and was also kind with providing things like props, sets, etc., but all of that contingent on the show producing a generally positive portrayal of the Air Force, with "generally positive" being partly defined by the advice given by the Air Force.

So I was watching "It's Good to Be King" the other day, and I have a question - what "ditty" was Maybourne's MInstrel Band playing when Jack came through the gate? I've tried googling and people arguing that it was supposed to be the Simpsons/MacGyver theme, but it sounds NOTHING (and I mean not even remotely) like either. I even went to the trouble of listening to the commentary track and there was nothing. Do any of you know what it was *supposed* to be? Maybe a Grateful Dead song given Maybourne named the cemetery after them?

I watched SG-1 when it aired (in fact watching the premier on Showtime with surprise boobs was a wonderful thing for teen me), I probably missed quite a few episodes but I was pretty faithful to it until the whole tonal shift with Jack leaving and Claudia Black joining the show (who I actually really love), in fact the last episode I remember was something about her being trapped on a planet in the Ori galaxy? Specifics are fuzzy. Only caught the Atlantis premiere, never really followed it. Loved Universe though, what a great show. I've decided to fix the issue of Atlantis. Am currently on the seventh episode, 'Poisoning the Well'. Random thoughts: - Oh my god I hate Teyla, I don't know what it is, maybe her derpy line delivery. And apparently I get to hear her sing at some point, I want off this train - Weir is... okay. Her butting heads with Shepard in the pilot was graon-inducing, but other than that she's not horrible like Teyla, she's just 'there' - Shepard and McKay steal the goddamned show. I love these guys. Especially the scene in the shadow episode. Shepards face when he goes "... I shot him"  is just pure gold- The Wraith don't seem as neat as the Goa'uld. They're basically space vampires, eh? I kind of like how the episode 'Thirty-Eight Minutes' implies that they evolved from giant ticks, but why do the whole Star Trek thing of having EVERY alien species look like humans with appliances? - 'Childhood's End' was such a horrible episode. gently caress, I need brain bleach Edit: I think part of the reason I'm really getting into this is that it's purely an artifact of the TV canon. I don't have to deal with the complete tonal shift going from the movie to SG-1 - O'Neil being basically a different character, Jackson almost immediately forgetting all about Sha're, the Goa'uld going from Ra being the last survivor of an incredibly ancient race to squabbling galactic parasites, blah blah blah. Edit: There is no way they're 7 episodes in and coming up with a Wraith vaccine. I bet the Hoffans will all use it and then we find out it ends up killing you a week after taking it or something.

Mu Zeta posted:I like how you have nothing to say about Lt. Ford. Yep, that character just kind of exists. At the time when Atlantis was airing its first season, Ford was so loving boring that I developed a theory that this was done entirely on purpose. Later, he would be revealed to be some sort of undercover Ancient observer dude. Maybe some sort of guardian of Atlantis. One day, they'd casually contact earth and someone would say, "Ford who? There's no Aiden Ford stationed with you!" And then the rouse would be uncovered. His backstory was perfect: Only child, no parents, seems to have never done anything besides military service, has an ancient name that refers to a Celtic god. There's a real-life prominent theory that the Celts were the Atlanteans to whom Plato referred. Celts were rather undeveloped in the Stargate world as compared to a lot of other groups, so they weren't tied down by canon. There had to be, I believed, a non-earthling joining the team at some point, as that was practically a biblical commandment for shows like Stargate (Teyla didn't fit the profile at the time). My theory was that the non-earthling was already present, and this further explained the lovely character. Ford being lukewarm and utterly forgettable was a way of maintaining his cover and making the reveal more interesting. It was all perfect and I was just biding my time until the big reveal when I would tell everyone proudly that I called that plot twist from the beginning. I refused to believe that anyone would intentionally write such a bland, redundant character without a plan for him becoming less redundant. Nope. It was just lovely writing.
