I would argue that Urgo should count, though in that case it's all of them. And the bug guys with the shapeshifter technology who string everyone from the rafters and then impersonate them.EvilHawk posted:I've mentioned before but it's one of a group of episodes where the premise is "weird thing happens to a member of SG-1 and despite literally everything that has happened nobody will even pretend to believe them". The weird dimension shifting aliens episode with Jonas Quinn is another one. One of the big strengths of the time loop episode IMO, everyone very rapidly goes to "yeah okay you say this is happening, let's deal with it"

I feel like The Other Guys works a lot better if you've watched the Red Green Show, and are already acclimatized to Patrick McKenna.

Yeah we're doing a rewatch now, other than emancipation which is a stinker but ultimately not that bad, there's none that are really that bad. Mayyybe the clip show towards the end of Season 1 if you've seen it before and know who Kinsey is.

Beachcomber posted:I think one of the least realistic things in the show is how they remember all those alphanumeric codes over time. Also how long it takes them to set up an Alpha Site, and how they don't run the gate program out of there. Kinsey had a point in the first season that fetching a bunch of dangerous items/microbes/people/black hole connections and immediately exposing Earth to them was not a good plan.

^^^ maybe she's pocketing half of Jacob's salary (with the rest going to her brother), not like he has anywhere to spend it. Well he's a reactivated Colonel, so he's probably making close to the upper end of the pay grade, which would be ~$150,000 in 2023 dollars. The biggest question I had about the civilian world is where that mean neighborhood is that Tealc escaped to when he got stung by that space mosquito.

Also Supernatural. Plus just the other day we watched Ryac blow up Anubis' gate killing machine, after Tealc and Bratac got captured by Chief Tyrol.

Tunicate posted:The distinction I get is that the goa'uld generally treat their stuff as black boxes without understanding the underlying mechanisms, while a human scientist like Carter can whip out the math on how hyperdrives work on a moment's notice Also we see that the Goauld do understand all this technology (the examples springing to mind is Baal re-engineering and purposing the Avenger virus and the one who created naqadriah on Langara; yes I am watching S7 why do you ask), they just don't play it up because they're already perceived as gods by their subjects. Humans saying the Goauld don't create technology they just steal it are just being space racists, change my mind.

MakaVillian posted:Edit: Ok that Always Sunny episode was good, but I don't know if i'd classify it strictly as a clip show. Yeah it's like half a clip show. The first half is a clip show played more or less straight, and then it goes increasingly off the rails as they get stuck in people's memories, legitimately a great take on the concept I think. Even knowing nothing about the show, I maintain this is a hilarious photo:

redshirt posted:And speaking of ships, there's nothing in the Air Force skill tree that qualifies you to command a ship with hundreds of people. Honestly one of the most nagging immersion breaks in the whole series for me is the ranks. Does Jack spend 7 seasons as a Colonel who commands a total of 3 people? Like I know it's dumb and doesn't matter but they make such a big deal about the promotions for Sam lol, and as far as I can tell she is in command of nobody?

redshirt posted:Yeah in The Expanse almost every space battle is done at distance, such that you never see the enemy except on sensors. Exactly. Space battles are like carrier battles not because of airplanes (which lack any sort of space analog) but because if your sensors don't detect the enemy, but they see you, you're going to lose. Funnily enough this applies whether or not you include engines fueled by magic or are bound by the tyranny of the ticket equation; your ship is always going to be extremely vulnerable to a projectile weapon that employs the same engine technology but can accelerate much faster than you.

Desert Bus posted:There are SO MANY random cameos. The show was made in Vancouver I think? And I'm jealous that you get to watch it for the first time and also eager to see what you think. It's good! Yeah it filmed in Vancouver, so you will see every Canadian west coast character actor appear in it at some point (sometimes multiple points!), and also in all the other sci-fi shows because they're all filmed in Vancouver for some reason.

redshirt posted:I like that the SGC seems pretty OSHA compliant when it comes to the Gate. The ramp is wide and long, allowing wheelchair access. The Woosh line is clearly marked on the floor so there's no mistaking the safe line. Blast doors for extra protection. On the other hand they make the security guys line up in front of the gate, i.e. the only location they could possibly get hit by fire coming though it, or be quickly shot by someone coming though. Gotta put those guys to the side, ideally slightly behind and beside!

The real thing we should be asking (spoilers on the existence, perhaps skip if you are watching for the first time) is that one time Replicarter was all the way into the horizon, but someone was holding her arm to stop her from going through, how did she then come back out and glare menacingly before dropping the arm?

Owl at Home posted:A good low-tech alternative to the iris would be to just dig a 100-foot vertical pit directly below the gate. Maybe not so great for filtering out things like bombs, small gliders and energy field weapons though Put the gate on a big gimbal, so you can pitch it up 90 degrees, and put a big rear end steel grate just above the kawoosh height. Energy beam weapons still a problem, but anybody coming through that immediately falls back into the horizon, any flying doodads crash into the grate and then do the same.
