JetsGuy posted:With the Stargate, I'm sure the Jaffa would have unlimited brass and lead. I'm not what you mean by "with the stargate" there is no gunpowder manufacturing industry amoung the jaffa, and while brass can be reused, and Jaffa craftsman would be able to learn the casting of bullets, manufacturing primers for those tiny cartridges would be time consuming at best and require the production of many specialized tools. But also, why would we give them p90s? AKs would be a much better option, cheaper, more reliable, and can be easily manufactured by the Jaffa themselves. Well, I guess I could see why we wouldn't want that.

Oh Teal'c - he always looked so silly with those things, especially around season 10 when he would just carry a P90 around and just fire it one-handed at people.

The best part of Stargate being filmed in Canada is that you get to see familiar faces turn up in funny places, like late 90's quasi-softcore porn movies on TLN at 3 in the morning.

Those are all pretty spot on explanations and I completely agree, but I'm pretty sure the producers didn't think that deeply into it and it was just a plot device to give Earth a chance at winning battles against the Guo'uld. Then again, I could be completely wrong.

When I saw one of the Twilight movies I knew it was filmed in Canada because I recognized 3 Stargate actors.

Shux posted:Yeah I've just watched Atlantis again. His background was nothing more than a pilot in Afghanistan. He didn't follow orders to come back to base instead flying into pick up a squad in trouble or something. So he was ballsy for sure, but he is no Seagal in Under Siege. His ex-wife mentioned in a conversation that he would take a phone call, and then be off flying black-ops flights. He was still a pilot, but a top-secret pilot.

I kind of wish this show had used a pronunciation guide. Half the humans say Goold instead of Go-ah-oold and now O'Neill is saying Nerdy instead of Near-Tee.

I'm pretty sure Jack says goold on purpose too. It's also really realistic for people to use their own pronunciation of foreign words despite availability of authentic pronunciation. Throughout the show, Jack shows disinterest or distane for alien works and just says them how he wants. I don't think it's laziness or sloppiness on the part of RDA, but rather part of Jack's character. He says everything with his own lazy slang.

Yeah, those are good points. I've been watching Trek too long. The episode with Jack and Maybourne on drugs in the jungle was fuckin' awesome, though it was weird that Maybourne got gutshot then just kind of went on loving with Jack.

Er, I'm pretty sure Michael Shanks just wanted some time off to be with his family which is why they ascended him, as a super-obvious means of returning him whenever they felt like it. And in fact, they did just that in several guest appearances throughout the Jonas season as well as still bringing him in to voice Thor, so it's not like he was completely disconnected with the show's production during that period.

He and Christopher Judge are like best friends, so Judge had him guest star in all the episodes he wrote/directed while Shanks was off the show. At least that's what I've been told...

One important thing as well was RDA wanted less screen time which meant Shanks would get the more screen time that he wanted.

Again, going from memory here, wasn't that partially because RDA wanted it to be more of an ensemble show and not have a main character? i.e. he didn't want Shanks hogging the spotlight either?
