Been on another rewatch since getting my girlfriend into it, just got into season 7 (she took it very personally when Daniel died so she'll enjoy it when she gets to it) and anyway discovered this thread existed so I'll post this that I capped the last time I was rewatching:

Ever seen anyone need to reload a staff weapon or a Zat, though? Kinda weird that no one else bothers to carry around the fully automatic wrist-mounted staff blaster the Kull carry, though. I'm late season 7 and they've gathered at least three of them. stringless fucked around with this message at 13:08 on Oct 26, 2023 |

The Genii use the Timecop pistol just like Soren does in "Icon" (S08E05 where they popped into a cold war but also there's a cult that worshipped the ring of the gods etc etc)

Remember the first Sebrus/Seberus episode when Carter hands a dude zipties to cuff his legs and he somehow manages to do so competently despite being from a completely different culture that probably doesn't have zipties?

That's why you standardize to the planet, it makes no sense to "standardize" to a different planet and then also have more hours in a day. A Bajoran day might be ~26 standard hours, but a Bajoran day isn't 26 standard Bajoran hours. Also there's the whole "24 hours is useful because it can be divided cleanly a whole bunch of ways" aspect. stringless fucked around with this message at 08:06 on Nov 3, 2023 |

Exactly. Everything has to run on UTC (possibly adjusted to Mountain time for Colorado) for consistency, but there's absolutely no reason for "atlantis standard time" to have more hours and it's clear from the complete lack of further explanation that the line was written in solely to make it clear that they're on a different planet without any thought to what that standard would actually mean. /e: They put less thought into this for Starfield and made more sense stringless fucked around with this message at 13:40 on Nov 4, 2023 |

Don't forget the proto-Wraith bug in the "puddle jumper lodges in the stargate" episode (S1E03) of Atlantis.Rappaport posted:There's also the moon with the yellow will'o'wisps, but they just murder people instead of infesting them. I think it's also the episode that introduces Sam's protege. I think they basically reused the same bug effect in SGA S1E11, the one where they investigate a Wraith cruiser that crashed 10,000 years prior. stringless fucked around with this message at 23:29 on Nov 14, 2023 |

Granted, it's the writing, but weird how that specific part doesn't come up later when it obviously backfires with 5.

Yeah it's nowhere near as developed as Klingon because no one ever officially made Goa'uld into a functional or consistent language in the same way. "Ka" means "no", "ka kek" means "lies", "kek" means "kill, dead, weakness", "mol kek" means "kill them all", "ra'kek" is the Goa'uld flashbang, "shal kek" means "dismissed", "shel kek nem ron" means "I die free" stringless fucked around with this message at 09:06 on Nov 23, 2023 |

Only Skaara and Kasuf reprise their roles from the movie. The original plan for SG-1 was for Skaara to be on team SG-1, but Alexis Cruz didn't want to commit that fully. Dunno if it would have worked as well. Besides French Stewart there are only two other actors that were in the movie and also later Stargate bits. Richard Kind is the translator that's miffed when movie Jackson figures out "Star Gate" immediately and asks "who translated this lol" and also a con-man in the Pegasus Galaxy in SG Atlantis, and Kelly Vint Castro plays young Catherine Langford at the beginning of the movie (and finds the Ra amulet) then in Stargate Origins she's some American Agent that meets that version of Catherine and admires the amulet.

There's a year in-universe between the end of the movie and the start of the show, and I'm pretty sure they tell Apophis about taking down Ra within the first two episodes.

Well, they were clearly already feuding anyway, lots of references to earlier battles between them over thousands of years, but in a pretty complacent way before Ra atomized and freed up a bunch of territory.

Stargate Origins is a short series that goes more into what happened before the main events of the original movie. Stargate: The Ark of Truth takes place right after the end of SG-1 S10 and Atlantis S3. Stargate: Continuum is after Atlantis S4. Origins was a web series, the others are TV movies stringless fucked around with this message at 07:39 on Nov 30, 2023 |

Unrelated, The Man from Earth is probably my all-time favorite movie, and on this rewatch I realized Stargate has two actors from it: I knew John Billingsley played Coombs in The Other Guys, but also Tony Todd played Haikon in the Sodan episodes. I probably noticed on my last watch, but also they're three seasons apart.

It's absolutely intended. They did a darker version with Kavanagh in Atlantis (just recently saw the episode where they think he could be the Trust mole) Like the only scientist almost-main character that really comes out looking good in the whole series is Zelenka

A bit strange how the resolution to that episode was "how about a bit of light and respectful slavery instead of outright genocide?"

And it's only because he's too humble to lead that the Jaffa politics can become a major part of the story, for better or worse.

I'm halfway through Ark of Truth, and it really strikes me that one of the most annoying things throughout the entire show once SG-1's standard loadout switches to the P90 is that with very few exceptions they keep the P90s on full auto for no good reason. It's a short bullpup rifle that is only technically an SMG because it uses pistol ammo, but that pistol ammunition is armor-piercing, even moreso when leaving a barrel twice as long as the pistol (which was never used in the show as far as I'm aware)! Stop wasting ammunition! You've got 50 shots per magazine, maybe put them on target so you don't have to reload as often, which is the whole point of having a 50 round magazine? Ark of Truth spoiler: yes obviously you switch to full-auto against replicators since you're not carrying shotguns The most notable instance of the P90's capability in semi-auto in the show is, of course, the second P90 demonstration in S05E18 - Warrior. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjlCVW_ouL8 (Apparently the Five-seveN was used in season 3 of Continuum so there's almost a connection) stringless fucked around with this message at 14:32 on Dec 10, 2023 |

There's especially an issue with Atlantis which I know I'm not the first to bring up. Not counting shotguns and explosives, they had to have brought at least 6 different types of ammunition: HK MP7 (4.6mm) Colt M4, variants thereof, HK G36K, Norinco Type 97, various machine guns (5.56mm) FN P90 (5.7mm) Beretta 92FS (9mm) Sheppard's special .45 (11.43mm) M2 Browning .50 (12.7mm) If nothing else, they should have dropped the MP7s, Beretta M9s, and Sheppard's special boy .45 entirely to be practical and just use P90s and Five-seveNs! Now you just need 5.56, 5.7, and .50! The P90 magazines hold 50 rounds, the Five-seveN magazines hold 20! You basically get to freely ignore the "hey what is this, the 80s? how come they ain't reloading" complaints! Belgium is never explicitly stated to be party to the IOA etc though so maybe that was the issue. stringless fucked around with this message at 15:00 on Dec 10, 2023 |
