iirc after Demons they got a big backlash from all the The weirdest religion/ethnicity mismatch to my recollection is easily in Learning Curve. Just the pastiest Aztecs ever. Fake edit: apparently the Aztec/Maya (ambiguity not mine) descendants, which include Tollans and 2 presumably book-only peoples, were saved from Goa'uld enslavement by the Giant Aliens by means of crystal skull?? There's fuckin Greek columns at the Tollan gate  real edit: it also ruins the notion of how off-world humans/Jaffa speak English as laid out in Mobius, but that was a pretty poor attempt at explaining anyway ChairmanMauzer posted:I always interpreted the Ori to be the Christian caricatures in the series. I always interpreted Ori as more of a white Islam kind of religion in the sense that they are super fervent and not as hypocritical (though Crusade also does away with that notion somewhat if Michael Ironside's occupation was also found amongst actual believers). That plus, you know, it was the 00's e2: also Jack creeps on a showering Sam while invisible in 200? Dunno how canon that is as it's 200 but clearly everyone's behaviour was mainly informed by the 90s and not updated since Leandros fucked around with this message at 18:36 on Sep 20, 2023 |

snergle posted:i dont think the ment for the reveal of good tealc already having a goatee on to be intentionally lol funny to me. its intentional that the bad universe evil people do thats a big evil twin stereo type. but go rewatch the episode. tealc goes into the mirror universe with jack and daniel he is normal tealc and has no goatee. they trick evil tealc into going into the closet with the mirror and then tealc kills him. but good tealc already has the goatee on. despite not knowing that evil tealc has a goatee. He's wearing it before entering the other universe, though the lighting makes it hard to see. Presumably other Sam and Kowalski briefed them on it and the SGC disguise team sprang into action.

The language stuff for the milky way is also explained in the final eps of S8. It's a very plausible and reasonable explanation. e: they also reuse footage from the movie in Politics as flashback Leandros fucked around with this message at 01:36 on Oct 6, 2023 |

redshirt posted:Oh yeah, that one. Still hard to extrapolate across the entire galaxy though. And even more, across other galaxies - people speak English in the Pegasus Galaxy of SGA. I mean almost everyone the team encounters is either highly advanced, came from Earth, or has been coexisting with humans for a long time (or doesn't speak English). If after 5000 years of being used, English somehow stayed exactly the same it would explain the MW. Explaining also Atlantis....the only thing I could dream up is that the Lantean language basically stopped being spoken 10k years ago both in Pegasus and on Earth, and so if language evolved deterministically, English at both ends can kind of make sense slightly sorta. Obviously that's rather a long shot of linguistic convergent evolution, but save for time travel or other shenanigans it seems the only explanation. e: or English is just the language that always arises, like the human form

Momoas repertoire consists of talking gruff in various settings but I had a harder time tolerating Teyla both in character and how she was portrayed. Wasn't she basically the show's Jeri Ryan? Though even 7 of 9 was a more interesting character and she started out as a loving drone. I think in almost all aspects SG1 is just leagues better than SGA. You watch SG1 for the evolution of humanity and their defeating of ever more godlike entities over the course of many seasons. SGA just rehashed a bunch of concepts and added boring space goths. Enjoyable white noise at most (as opposed to SGU which was rarely even enjoyable). I guess the Genii were a kind of fun foe, even though clearly so technologically inferior as to never be a real threat. Maybe I just liked Colm Meaney as a bad guy.

It's fun to see the technological underdog pull one over on the enemy but the Genii were just a bunch of backstabbers backstabbing backstabbers. Another fun thought I had is that like the human form, a Richard Kind always evolves into being. e: Kolya could have been played by Steven Seagal and the only differences would have been the need for more chairs in scenes and perhaps some forced subs. Honestly might have been worth looking into Leandros fucked around with this message at 21:57 on Oct 27, 2023 |

The triple barreled shotgun prop used by Satedans and Genii is from Blade 2 and also shows up in Eureka. The Richard Kind is invincible episode is filmed in the same cute town location as the people that live in a forcefield shell surrounded by toxic gas episode. Tons of actors are reused, some of them becoming major characters in their second role (Beckett was a young Littlefield). I think practical production decisions leading to fucky canon aren't so bad as say reusing names or plots.

With the iris center bulging outward to the center (otherwise the cool pointy center wouldn't stick out so much), all they had to do was make a naquadah enhanced shape charge and push it through the middle. Ample room to have it materialize

EvilHawk posted:Grace is such a weird episode. I posted about it in this thread during my rewatch but it comes out of absolute nowhere. An alien race so advance that can do all kinds of weird poo poo, but they never encounter it again (in our galaxy) and has seemingly insurmountable technology. It doesn't fit at all with the setting. As always, Rodney did it better

I mean sure the backstory sucks but I mean his general demeanour. 90% of the time he's just gruff and looks at anyone like he's raring to fight. Teal'c was a warrior but at least he could smile for reasons other than fantasizing about shooting people.

^^the Ori arc had a bunch of named planets, like the ones when they try to find the Sangraal. Anubis had Tartarus and there was the domed ancient place where they got the ZPM to power the antarctic chair for the first time. Jonas' planet had a name, as did the planet where the prometheus got blowed up over. I'm sure the majority are indeed random strings though.snergle posted:lol i said that guy looked to much like musk for my to like him when you guys were ranking favorite gouald.

The extended universe has another colony of Tollans, if you want to count that. Even if you don't I find it strange to assume all of them were incapable of hiding from the mothership anubis sent. Even in the episode that kills them off you see how tiny Hatak cannon explosions are. Now multiply it by a whole world of surface area.
