I always thought it was weird that it wasn't protocol for the iris to be closed by default.

I think it is, unless they’re dialing out in which case it doesn’t do anything.

Goa'uld genetic memory probably makes them more stagnant as well. Imagine if boomers gave birth to more boomers.

Did dr Fraiser ever get a love story?

Just hit Heroes in my rewatch last night and that poo poo hit pretty hard. She had her relationship with Cassie but romantically it was just the producer that made a move just before she got got.

Is there a human equivalent 'weapon of terror'? Something deadly, but mostly for effect?

Closest I can think of is Flamethrower.

A-10 is mostly for the US’s own troop morale rather than being super effective in gun runs.

Do you think Walter the gate-dialer is a General in the Stargate program by now?

He's like a master sgt or something so he'll never reach general. Plus he only makes like 1/3rd of what the SG teams full of officers (for some reason) make. I guess he probably gets hazard pay from being comms/weapons officer with hammond that one time.

Threads would have been a wonderful end to the series, and Mobius is so much fun. You can really tell that Shanks and Tapping are having a lot of fun playing their alternative selves.

They’re hamming it up in the best way. Timid Carter is so good. Shanks is basically just being Spader

It’s kind of crazy that the asgard and goauld have been in this stalemate for centuries and then the Tauri come in and within 8 or so years completely break it apart and the asgard go all in.

I could see the arguement that the Asgard and Goa'uld were in a stalemate with their own issues, not with one another, though.

The Asgard seemed to have the constant problem of replicators and cloning, as mentioned. They couldn't really didn't have a need or ability to advance too far outside that.

The system lords really had possibly hit a place where they were just stuck in their own status quo where it was difficult to effect any great change because power structures had become so well-defined and well-controlled.

Then the Tau'ri show up and kill Ra which probably has a massive knock on effect for the whole galaxy.

Now we suddenly see the rise of 'minor system lords' or 'former low-ranking Goa'ulds' on one side able to finally take a grab at major power, direct allies to Ra using the chance to try to hold and claim power once afforded to Ra, and indepent major system lords thinking they could afford a risk of taking more power, too.

I do like the one where Baal is fighting the replicators and Jacob brings Jack the device that lets them see all the goa’uld ha’taks just blipping out. Makes Jack realize that while they’re doing a good job of killing off system lords that they’re still an insanely huge empire beyond even what he had surmised over the years. His ‘oh poo poo’ moment when the galaxy map lights up was great.

jackson starting to get shots where he's working out late in the series is always funny.

the most unrealistic thing of the whole show is how nice all their homes are. unless they get an insane amount of combat pay I don’t think the air force pays THAT well

No way it's only 7.4 billion a year. Maybe 77 billion. I mean, by season 8 the SGC has multiple spaceships. How much did the Prometheus alone coast? And that squadron of 301s? And the newer ships that keep showing up. And that's just for ships.

All those offworld bases, all the weapons and ammo, heck, running and supplying Atlantis.

Also, it seems like are hundreds of people who work at the SGC.

Yeah, the most unrealistic thing in the entire show is that no one leaked.

I dunno why they went top-down RTS when "play as an SG team" is basically perfect for squad-based shooter

It’s really baffling when they could have made a new xcom reskin and it would have been pretty much perfect. Add in some rpg style diplomacy/non violent ways to resolve missions and it’d be probably exactly what people were looking for.

To me the rts part took the weight of actions out of it and it was just an hp/dps battle without much in the way of tactics, which is why the taure were so effective against the jaffa.

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.

That actually makes me wonder how the genetic memory poo poo works. Like, they’re a queen based species so how does new knowledge get integrated into the mix as they go along?

Dr Fraiser is the best.

I wish they did something more with cassandra. same with tealc getting a place off base. seeing that side of aliens through the gate interacting with locals was always great. they had a great reason with her too and i feel like even when they did they didn’t go far enough. i’m not saying it’s bad it’s just hard to write a really philosophical take on society through the eyes of a complete foreigner and they had a lot of buildup cached to be able to give the viewers better context for the alienness. It was almost always Tauri in a weird place.
