After the first few seasons they established SG-0, which goes ahead of SG-1 to teach everyone English.

A Deus Ex style system where you could focus on making your team a shooty one, a techy one, or a talky one would be pretty cool.

itry posted:I think I remember Hammond telling whoever's at the controls to close down the iris on an unexpected incoming wormhole quite often. Also lots of shots of the gate idling with the iris open. Yeah, I can buy pretty much all of the other aspects of the gate being pretty consistent (especially by the standards of TV sci-fi shows), but keeping the iris open by default on the "enemies can deliver a planet-busting nuke directly to the middle of the US" device seems pretty silly. That thing should always be locked up tight unless they're dialing out or they get a confirmed code. Also if I were SECAF I would have gotten that thing moved to like Diego Garcia or somewhere like that at the first opportunity.

Cthulu Carl posted:For all the jokes about humans being creative psychos in Star Trek, they're even crazier in SG-1. "Your gods are all lies, take these guns and kill them" really is a pretty good summation of SG-1 interstellar policy. I also appreciate the pragmatism of "teleport nukes directly into enemy ships" being the starting point of human-wraith interaction.

I just rewatched the original movie since it's up on Youtube for free; it still holds up as a very solid sci-fi adventure movie. Nothing that really screams "this will launch a major franchise", just a well-made enjoyable movie. Plus some really great costumes for Ra and friends. It really made me appreciate the brilliance of turning it into a series; looking at it in hindsight you can see a lot of places where they managed to find some hooks that segue nicely into a series, but watching it at the time, none of that was obvious or intended. Ironically one thing that's aged the worst is the CGI helmet animations, I remember them being much better than they actually are. The one for Ra is still pretty decent but the ones for the guards look kind of janky today. But man, to a 10 year old watching it in the theater it was the absolute coolest thing ever.

redshirt posted:Jackson should be making bank, he's a private contractor. Teal'c is essentially confined to base, loosely. I'd love to know how much he is paid. Is it in dollars, or in Jaffa Bucks? He buys things, so he has some dollars. Officer pay and housing allowance is pretty good, you can definitely afford a decent house if you want to make that a priority. Using 2023 pay charts, an O-4 with 10 years service (reasonable for Carter at the midpoint of the series) earns $8,254 a month in basic pay, and a $2,364 housing allowance for Colorado Springs. Plus I have to imagine they're getting some kind of harzardous duty pay; the Air Force pays a hardship bonus when their people go TDY to a Navy base so going to another planet probably meets the same requirements.

well why not posted:Don’t military types get a payment per deployment? SG teams could be cashing in everytime they leave world. There's no special payment, but your pay can be tax-free if you're in certain designated areas. I don't know if what they're doing really counts as deployment, though, most of the time it seems like they're only out for a few days at most, which I think would be considered TDY. That brings up the question of how you get the travel accounting system to recognize P3X-420 as a valid duty location, not to mention trying to list the mode of travel as "government operated wormhole".

The Immaculate Conception actually refers to Mary being conceived and born without original sin. The correct title for her child is "Immaculate Conception's Monster".

snergle posted:i like all the times they just slapped an airforce logo on some gouald stuff and modified it to suit humans. i feel like that if stargate was real that is how we would use alot of tech to start until we could build our own. I'm surprised we never got a staff weapon adapted in a similar way. The takeaway from the "staff weapon vs P90" scene isn't that staffs are inherently less accurate, they just have lovely ergonomics and no sights. But they can still blow a hole clean through a man when they hit. Pack that into a rifle form factor and it would make a pretty badass heavy assault weapon.

Whereas SG-1 is about discovering that gods are false and then murdering them, which makes it eternally rewatchable.

Do Asgard teleporters work through a gate? Has anyone ever tried? Because I'm picturing a gate opening up on an uninhabited world and suddenly *vwoosh* an entire prefab colony appears out of thin air.

IIRC at some point they have an entire armory full of staffs and zats, so presumably they've got enough for their needs. And yeah, I expect follow-up teams would be able to loot whatever they need from various sites that SG-1 obliterates.

John Wick of Dogs posted:I did not realize until halfway through season 2 here that Stargates are one way. I thought if someone opened one from the other side you could go through Yeah, it's not something that's really highlighted very often so I can see why it would be easy to miss. They mention at some point that it allows two-way transmission of radio waves, hence why they can talk back and forth on the radio and send MALP telemetry back, but matter is only one way. I guess it was like that even in the movie, otherwise it wouldn't have been such a big deal that they needed to figure out how to dial back to Earth from Abydos - they could have just waited until Earth dialed again and hopped back through.

John Wick of Dogs posted:I know eventually he'll be head off the SGC, but I feel like Hammond is not going to authorize personal calls. "I empathize with your position Colonel but you know I can't let you do that! The Stargate is for official business only." This is literally how military training flights work, so as pilots they would absolutely know how to set that up. It is strictly against the rules to use a government aircraft to go visit your hometown for a weekend to attend a football game. However, it is entirely legal and justified to do a cross-country flight which satisfies routine training requirements, and visit an ROTC unit for the weekend to do a promotional show-and-tell static display. And if there happens to be a football game that weekend, well, that's just a happy coincidence.

My lord Apophis, the tau'ri Jack O'Neil has sent some kind of device through the gate. It is a large metal cylinder with a clock that is counting down. Someone has written strange markings on the side, which say "Apo... Deez.... Nuts".
