Gets into Gate episode two hundred and thirty one to can Star get SG one,
0:31
Mitch, Brendan, Maddy here with you once again. Boys. So
0:34
you're going to go through our names again? Okay, people got no hues.
0:38
No, you're absolutely right, Mitcheer joining me as always. I'm gonna
0:43
go clockwise, which means nothing in an audio media though. But to my
0:46
left Brendan, Hey mate, Hey, you're the guy with that voice.
0:49
Yeah, that's good. And over to my right in front of Brendan again
0:54
painting a picture that means left do nothing. The left of the left of
0:58
technically it is the right of me. Yeah, Matthew, Hello, Maddie,
1:03
this isn't a DC podcast. We're turning about Stargate. That's the guy
1:06
that snorts. Sorry, hello, it was those sleep bugs got me.
1:11
Yeah, a little sleepy, Yes, sleep bugs it'll get you. Yeah,
1:15
what a I watched this episode when I was dog tired, and once
1:21
that came up, I was like, oh my god. And then I
1:23
also like clicked play. Knowing that you had ended last week's podcast with Orpheus
1:30
not Morbius, that would have been an entirely different podcast, which we will
1:34
have to cover at some point. Or never, it's more than time.
1:38
Yeah. Well okay, episode two of season ten. Can we get back
1:42
into it with the synopsis, Yes, we can. You want a good
1:45
DVD because we've got the actual box sets we covered on the on the podcast
1:49
the other week, Maddie has quite unquote inferior product because he's got the Skinny
1:53
Street version. Is that what's Yeah? And they come with Skinny Street.
1:59
I was talking about my trip to Amsterdam literally this morning. Is that what
2:02
you just did? Was talking about whe Brendon. I went through and like
2:06
perused the Hookers yeahs tour group. Yeah, and we didn't have that much
2:12
money. That's why. That's why you chip in. You just know everyone
2:15
everyone chips. They closed their curtains past cheap little And imagine what I would
2:23
have because I met my wife on that tour, but I didn't actually meet
2:28
her until properly until like the next day. So imagine that sliding doors moment
2:32
where I met her and sliding curtain where well, where she kept her curtains.
2:37
That would have been that would have been very apt. So she had
2:38
no curtain inating she was when you met her? You know, I was.
2:44
I was just that guy that was on the bus the day before.
2:46
But had I have, you know, invested in a little bit of curtain
2:49
action, I would have been that guy who slept with a Netherlands hooker the
2:53
night before and probably would have changed the outcome of my life. So you
2:58
know, but you know, I would have still been here talking about right
3:05
here, right now. I opened up the the fat pack, you know,
3:08
five DVD cakes. That's not name. I'm getting in trouble for Skinny
3:15
Street Fat Pack. God damn, we've really gone woke on this podcast.
3:19
The box set versus the Amaray case. Amaray has that got like a little
3:24
sideways apostrophe, a bit of y action. Yeah, okay, And I
3:30
thought I can't do the synopsis here because I don't have there's there's no booklet
3:34
because I've been so used to the booklet action that you've been bringing in and
3:38
I brought it anyway, And Brendan's like, dude, look at look at
3:42
the back of the case, and they haven't done since like Uricon season six.
3:45
Maybe I'll say that that's why I didn't know, because I'm sure as
3:49
hell didn't look. But here we go. Episode two. Morpheus on a
3:53
mission to find a weapon that will defeat their powerful foe. The team finds
3:57
a planet whose inhabitants were killed by a mysterious illness, and unwittingly full victim
4:02
to the illness themselves. Doesn't that sound like about eighteen other episodes that you
4:08
specified but had something to do with the bloody Sleep, Because I mean that's
4:12
different, and that's like, you know, getting a bit of Freddy Krueger
4:15
and the vibes about it, but just the idea of like it's sleep in
4:17
itself, not a dangerous thing, a wonderful thing, something that all three
4:20
of us at this very moment would like to like to get around, right,
4:25
and you know, then they have to fight that. Maybe maybe that'll
4:28
be a Patreo exclusive, because that's like a thing people do on TikTok is.
4:30
They do live streams where they'll just like set up a live stream and
4:33
they'll just sleep and like pick hundreds of thousands of people will tune in to
4:36
watch someone's Yeah, maybe all three of us, just like you know,
4:42
cuddling together, picked what's boom he wanted to be just on a couple of
4:46
bean bags out in the out in the rec room outside the studio, just
4:49
set that up on Patreons see what happens. You've always pitched the idea that
4:51
you and I sit down and do one of those marathon podcasts, not to
4:56
exclude Brennan. It was also more to save Brennan. I think at the
4:59
time of the first yes, did it in the room was that we appreciate
5:01
it, just yeah, see how far we could go before we would run
5:04
out of things to talk about. Yeah, but maybe it would transition then
5:08
into the sleeping podcast because we would run out of things because fatigue would get
5:13
us. Yeah, and then we just wake up talking that or we're in
5:15
this room which is pretty air tight, we actually might run a and pass
5:18
it out and was like, oh, look at them, they're sleeping.
5:20
It's like, no, they're dying. Yeah they're dead. Yeah, they're
5:24
dead. Sleepy Joe. That's what we're going to call this episode. If
5:30
only this would have been an Atlantis episode. Sleepy Flannigan, sleepy Delan.
5:35
We're going to call them surprising that synopsis didn't mention anything about the b plot,
5:40
nothing about the varle stuff. No, which like was the more interesting
5:46
part of it in the sense that was fresh, not that I like again
5:48
the sleep was like, oh, this is different. But otherwise it's like,
5:50
how many planets have we been to? And this isn't even a I'm
5:55
not saying it's a detriment to the episode, and like, oh, it's
5:57
boring because we've seen it before. We've seen a lot of stuff before and
5:59
they can make it fresh. But we have gone to places like, oh,
6:01
what's going wrong here? Oh it's going wrong for us. We better
6:04
save ourselves right in the neck of time. But then Vala, who you
6:09
know, I've got plenty of criticisms about. And then I think the just
6:13
the look. If I had this on mute, I would have been like,
6:15
ah, she's got to be more annoying now because of the hair,
6:17
the little the pigtails. And I was like, oh, I forgot about
6:20
the pigtail era and the fact that she's there brushing her hair when Wolsey comes
6:26
in and she's strolling through the base, you know, wearing the onesie or
6:29
whatever and the jumpsuit and with the with the pig tail hair, and I'm
6:30
like, nothing about this looks looks acceptable, looks right. But it was
6:35
But she passed. She passed. She has plot, yeah, And I'd
6:39
forgotten about how it's how it finished, because when Wolsey comes in, I'm
6:44
like, come on, man, the last couple of weeks, you've been
6:46
really making some positive steps to win me over as an audience member, Like
6:49
you've always been that annoying guy that comes in and says things to hold us
6:54
all up. But then he's been doing it right the last couple of weeks.
6:58
He's shown some kind of sympathy, some kind of standing towards the stargate,
7:01
both on Atlantis and at the SGC, the way that they operate and
7:04
they need to sort of, you know, have their own jurisdiction in a
7:08
way. And then he sneaks in the room and does a little bit of
7:11
ay you can be the eyes in the ears of the the IOA if we
7:14
can make sure you pass, or that you son of a bitch, because
7:17
it seemed very much like something that he would do. And then literally eight
7:21
seconds before they did the big reveal, and I'm like, you know,
7:25
what would have been fun? What actually would have been fun at this?
7:28
They would have Charlie and the chocolate factory this and Woolsey was a plant to
7:30
see how much oh no, hanging, that's exactly what she was. The
7:32
holy shit until then she threw the sexual advances thing and him, I'm like,
7:36
holy, you're winning me over barlast. This is so good she sexual
7:44
advance no general the things that even made me blush. She's she's acclimating to
7:51
Earth life like at lightning speed compared to tilt. Though some of the references
7:58
that she throws out when she's like on the computer to like anticipating the test.
8:01
And she asked that question about the tortoise, I am, that's from
8:07
Blade Runner. That's like part of the test to find out whether you're an
8:09
android or not. I still never seen it. That's because you're not a
8:13
cock as brutal. I think I would only be a cuck if I had
8:16
seen it and said it was the greatest science film of all time? Right,
8:18
yeah, yeah, no, did we too watches to watch it because
8:22
I felt sick a little bit. And the other one and I still haven't
8:24
seen the new one yet. Is it more Ryan in it? Yeah?
8:31
More Ryan. You gona have a hot Ryan. He's like the lesser of
8:35
the Ryans, though they got up above him. Ryan Reynolds obviously, Okay
8:41
enough, Hell, I'd take I'd take Ryan Attwood from the O C Over
8:45
bloody. He's not even a back then, not as a twenty five year
8:48
old, not as a forty five year old. He's a bit. I
8:50
don't mind, you know what. I respect him now, I mean bringing
8:54
Yeah. Married to Marina, Yeah, yeah, how did he school that?
8:58
I don't know. They worked on that Batman show together, she didn't
9:05
She cheat on her husband with him, and then they got together allegedly allegedly
9:09
that yeah, allegedly she was already married and then started working with him on
9:15
Gotham and cheated on her husband and then they got the raw. Yeah,
9:20
and she was some random doctor the other thing Vala did though. In this
9:26
episode, she she suggests, I don't thin it's Wolvey. I think it's
9:28
the other guy. She she suggests, where were they sitting? He has
9:35
kleimb Felter syndrome, which I looked up is a genetic condition where you have
9:43
two X chromosomes and one Y chromosome, so you have an extra If you're
9:48
male, that means you've got an extra X chromosome. Extra man X is
9:52
the female mixed up? Yes, the females have a have a double X
9:58
and moles an x Y. So this chromoson Mitch, I'm so sorry.
10:03
That's why I stuck with the scientific terms of male and female. And if
10:07
I don't know, I should just say no thing. I should say absolutely
10:11
nothing. If I know and I didn't different agenda, it is it actually
10:16
I said it as a joke, but it actually isn't always has it,
10:22
don't. Well, I think even people could hear what you just did with
10:26
your face. Then I'll get Scottie flash. I needed a school. He'll
10:31
clear they they Oh, really, I apologize Scotty. So anyway back to
10:41
I think because I opened up his mail bag three years later. Yeah,
10:43
yeah, yeah, well he was still here at that point. I think,
10:46
yeah, he signed off as our favorite he so, and I opened
10:48
that two weeks ago. So that's absolutely my fault. He's not going to
10:52
cancel you. They're not going to You're getting canceled. Absolutely, So they
10:58
then in the nineties will cance you. Kleinb fell To syndrome is a jendic
11:03
condition with two X and one Y chromosomes, resulting in infertility and reduced sexual
11:09
characteristics. So that's what she was accusing, old matehole like she's what is
11:16
she reading in like in her downtime, like she reading like or like what
11:22
she went down a deep rabbit hole in the two six Internet. Yeah,
11:26
absolutely, a couple of Encyclopedia Daniel's Gray IBM. Yeah, she put those
11:31
the Encarta discs like CDs into the c Yeah, yeah, yeah, the
11:37
Encyclopaedia Britannica. Yeah, there was a lot. I mean that that that
11:41
scene where he goes in, she's so overly prepared, you know, he's
11:45
like, how are You's like, oh good, I've really been thinking about
11:46
how you know that for like forty five seconds He's like, yeah, I'm
11:50
fine. I was like, oh, this is going to be long.
11:54
And then the scene where like even a couple you know, he was giving
11:56
her a chance to say you look nice today, and she had to sit
11:58
there and tell him how great he looked, and it was just a liel
12:01
and Okay, this is getting a little bit long. But then it was
12:03
that is there a gift of that? Where like it was just like the
12:07
lines gone back and forth crazy because she accept it and she's just like yeah,
12:13
I was like, oh that's where that comes from. I respect that
12:16
so much more now. So the meme referencing the gift of the gift so
12:22
returns from his travels and speaks of Andrea and then nothing else. Yeah,
12:31
she has amazing powers and they're like cool stuff. He returned from a Jafar
12:35
stronghold, I believe. Yeah, of course he did well, just referencing
12:39
episode Stronghold saying what was the stronghold? He had full robes and ship.
12:45
Yeah. Yeah, looking boss had hair so much it felt like more hair
12:50
than well, they got to they got to readjust that horrible haircut he gave
12:54
himself in the hiatus where he shaved too high. Yeah, because I did
12:58
see the kind of on the sides you can see he's shaved. Yeah,
13:03
he gave he gave him Lewis. Did you notice just after that scene there
13:11
they dragged pasted on the trolley was the O'Neill's Ancient Replicator Gauntlet really one where
13:18
he destroyed the replicators figure. Oh yes, the the yeah that he created
13:24
with a a r G a WS a WS anti replicated weapon. Because anyway,
13:33
because then in gemin And they're talking about the p W a r w
13:35
S, which is planetary wide anti replicated weapons like the pro replicated Web.
13:41
Yeah, I thought that was just nice that they're like, here's a prop
13:45
from a couple of years ago. Yeah. Yeah, and then the the
13:48
doctor on the planet with them, the guy that died of the heart attack,
13:52
doctor Rhyma, Rama, ryme whatever. That's Malachi from Window of Opportunity.
13:58
Yeah, the archaeologist. That's the guy on the planet with the sunburn
14:01
that did the whole Window of Opportunity things. Jesus Like, they really just
14:05
bring him on to give him horrible fates. Something I didn't like though,
14:11
is that because all the stuff woring and it was extremely they're literally sitting there
14:15
talking about how they're all going to die from brain aneurysms from the sleep bugs.
14:20
But then he dies from heart failure. M yeah, because he wouldn't
14:24
go to sleep but they said, they said they're going to die from aneurysms.
14:30
But then he died from heart failure. And did one of them yell
14:33
because he had the booster? Oh the booster? Holy shit. Dexo Troper
14:43
and phetamine is a pharmaceutical grade speed that the US military approves use to combat
14:52
fatigue. Oh really, which is the one that that's meth? Was it?
15:00
Yeah? Yeah, I would have approjected heavier drugs like some ice.
15:05
Did ice exist in two thousand and six. Yeah, that was tens.
15:11
I mean Brian Cranston perfected it so not yet you know, it was still
15:13
I thought ice was different, different PEPSI classic speaking of I thought sponsored the
15:20
week all right? Oh that the sprits off. That was fantastic. I
15:24
mean I thought, am I just finding out now that ice and meth are
15:28
the same thing? I thought ice was something different to me. I think
15:31
they're the same thing. I'm not sure. Yeah, I don't. Yeah,
15:35
the thinges we don't do that. I used to call it ice on
15:39
this thought in Australia. Yeah, it was. It was. It was
15:41
a street name, but I was it was a different thing to math.
15:43
What would you give a whole on the name? Is ice and meth the
15:46
same thing? What is it ice and myth the same thing? I guess
15:52
she gives you Crystal meth. That's just me being the greminate Ice. Crystal's
15:58
Crystal meth. Crystal. There's a drag queen called Crystal Meth. Oh sorry,
16:03
Crystal method. Oh that's fine. Yeah, and then her her drag
16:07
mother is Diabetty. I love a pum name. So good. Anyway,
16:15
they're going to find the Holy Grail, guys. That's what we're doing,
16:18
the sung Gral, the SrAl, this whole episode of just bullshit, bullshit,
16:23
bullshit. Right at the end of the Dame you go by the way,
16:26
oh by the way Atlantis. You didn't see me find it because I
16:30
didn't make a big dealer it because I was tired by Atlantis. One line
16:33
in the gloss over it, this is a big deal. Yeah, yeah,
16:37
that they have to go to Atlanta's I forgot, like spoiler alert,
16:41
pegast Project the next episode for Atlanta one of my favorite episodes of Stargate of
16:47
all time. I skipped this episode so much that I forgot that this episode
16:52
was the reason they like they say, oh, we need to go to
16:53
Atlantis. Yeah, look, and you know on the on the first time
16:56
Atlanti's watcher. But you know, I've skipped ahead my watch. I've seen
17:00
the Pegasus Project as well. I had, like, I mean, I've
17:04
got very little memory of season nine to ten anyway, because I've seen them
17:07
far less than the others. We've long established that. But I had no
17:11
memory of the fact that Atlantis even came up as a thing. And then
17:15
the Pegas Project they're on Atlantis. I'm like, why do I not remember
17:19
this. How did I watch that episode fifteen years ago and they're not be
17:25
inspired to go? And then okay, now now I've got to go back
17:27
and watch Atlanti's because this was a fun episode. Those are great characters.
17:32
So weird spoiler alert, especially weird. I'm just saying it. But now
17:36
now I'm I'm Switzerland here spoiler alert. When we come back to do Pegas
17:40
project, you guys going to need ponchos and drop sheets. Hey man,
17:45
half of that episode is scenes with Varla, Daniel and Weir. That's my
17:51
dream team. Jesus, Maddie. I'm always on your like, I'm like
17:57
defending the weird thing. But when you say that we are and Varla are
18:03
two thirds of a dream team. I own of all the characters of Stargate,
18:07
I own two Stargate Action figures. I own one of Weir and one
18:12
of Vala. Yeah, he bought three and one was con No, there's
18:18
more. There was a tilk a corn and you didn't buy Yeah, because
18:23
we gave it to Reese on the pod. No, don't you gave me
18:27
shipped for it because I used Patreon money And you're like you paid for half
18:30
of that. Yeah, yeah, Ti both. Yeah, they came as
18:36
a bundle. There was Tilk, there was Replicata. I don't remember seeing
18:41
that. Vala and maybe a corn maybe a Corky and we gave we gave
18:48
Reese, Tilk and Corky. I don't remember them. That was the first
18:52
one ship Okay, wow, No, But the weird one I bought with
18:56
my own money. That one, I mean it's for on the podcast as
19:00
well. I mean one Brendan was crooked one time. We had to bring
19:03
you in bya zoom, so when your chair in front of your camera,
19:06
we set the weird doll. Yeah, what happened to the replicata? They
19:10
didn't give replicata. I don't know. Yeah, it was weird because she
19:14
comes with a hand like that looks like she's fisting someone, but it's modifications.
19:18
Yeah, you melted that I found, like I mean, there's no
19:23
way to segue into what I'm about to say. I found a twelve inch
19:26
stargate figuring over in New York back what five years ago. I was there,
19:33
you know, walking through found like a store pop culture type thing with
19:37
some old like you know, retro stuff, and I'm pretty sure it was
19:41
an O'Neill, but it was like one hundred bucks and I was over there
19:45
and had like no money, and I think I took a photo of it
19:47
through the window and hey, guys, look at this, You're like you
19:48
should get it. I'm right, spent all the money getting there and then
19:55
nothing to buy anything, and I regret it so bad that, like,
19:57
where else am I going to find a dead set? Like twelve line mate?
20:02
Yeah? Yeah these days? Yeah. Ironically, two thousand and six
20:03
was when this week came out? Was I think when I went to New
20:07
York and yeah, I was the same. I spent all my money getting
20:08
there and it was just so poorly entired, so much fun stuff you could
20:11
be by. Yeah, Whereas I made up for that when I went to
20:15
Disneyland. Oh yeah, oh jesus, oh mate, pack an extra suitcase?
20:21
Yeah I did. I literally did. I had to like pack an
20:22
extra bag inside my bag. It was yeah, I went crazy, good
20:26
man, Yeah, do it the right way. Made up for it.
20:30
I found myself getting really too early pissed off at the doctor. All the
20:37
other blakes walking through you like he was. We introduced the guy and he's
20:40
just already yawning, like, oh, Wow, how long you've been awake.
20:41
He's like, I've been waiting for you know, twenty one hours now
20:44
whatever whatever mission had been doing. And at the end they're like, oh,
20:47
what are you on and and Mitch's like, uh, twenty four hours.
20:52
Oh, come and talk to me when you get to forty. And
20:53
I'm like, dude, shut up, Like everyone's tired. I get but
20:56
on my hang on a second, I'll probably get like that too, because
21:00
you know, I don't sleep a lot. And then I'll talk to someone
21:02
and go, oh my god, I'm so tired. I went to bed
21:03
at eight last night, nine seven thirty like usual, and I am just
21:07
so spinning like I would have been at midnight. So you should be really
21:11
praising how tired I really am. So a single shot espress though, yeah,
21:18
you know that's in my cold. That's exactly what I did. I'm
21:19
like, I slept for three hours the last three nights, and I don't
21:22
drink coffee and I do Wanning Records radio, and yes, I have four
21:26
children. You're an idiot, So I hate myself. And that's what I
21:30
was seeing through the show through the doctor. So when he was killed off,
21:33
it was like, yeah, I think it would have been moment.
21:34
I think it would have been a better episode if the team wasn't being affected
21:38
by the bugs. I think if we just went there and investigated like a
21:41
cold case style thing to find find out the mystery with that, without having
21:47
to add the extra peril ticking clock of us being about to die, I
21:51
think it would have been fine. Because I think, again, something they
21:53
gloss over in this as well is it's established Morgan le Fay is like someone
22:02
who's, you know, working against Merlin. She's another ascended being. She
22:07
stole the so Sungral from Merlin, hid out on this planet. Then when
22:15
Merlin, sorry, when Arthur and the Knights of the Redtail came searching for
22:18
the sang Graal, the town said, oh, that bitch Morgan, she
22:22
lives in those caves. She killed the entire town slash planet for giving away
22:27
her secret. That's an ascended being who straight up thing murdered an entire planet.
22:33
The only other ascended being we've even like that was Anubis, and it's
22:38
completely glossed over, and I'm like, forget us. But they said it
22:44
was a curse that she put on, but it wasn't. I think the
22:48
fact I think the implication is that she created those bugs. Maybe it was
22:52
her way of putting a crab in the freezer before you cook it. To
22:56
her, it was the I guess, the most humane way to call these
23:00
people. But how else, like does this little magical bug because obviously that
23:04
planets existed, Like if those bugs were native to that planet, nothing would
23:08
ever have existed there. So it's obviously a new thing that's been introduced at
23:14
a certain point. So I took it as she did that as retribution for
23:19
the town giving her up, and then she buged off. Because this is
23:22
one of those three. I can't read which one they said it was,
23:25
but this is either Sahana or Vagan Bray, so it's definitely one of the
23:30
one of the planets. But yeah, it just glosses over the fact that
23:33
Morgan Lafay just straight up and murdered an entire planet as an ascended being who's
23:37
not supposed to interfere. Was she ascended at that point? Yeah, because
23:42
because Merlin came. Yeah, yeah, well she stole the Sungral from Merlin
23:48
because it was a dangerous weapon for him to have because it could kill us
23:52
ended beings. So I'm just like, I would have preferred to spend more
23:57
time doing that and again spoiler it. I think that would have had a
24:02
bigger impact on the Pegasus Project in a couple of weeks. Yeah, well,
24:06
I mean just even looking not to talk about the Pegasus project itself too
24:10
much, but I the fact that they didn't touch on what you're saying in
24:14
this episode as much because I'm then watching the Pegasus Project. I watched the
24:18
next three weeks worth of episodes back to back in a two hours sitting.
24:22
I didn't once go, ah, like, hang on, I'm watching her
24:26
in the Pegas Project, thinking, oh, she's conflicted, she can't if
24:29
she wants to help, but she can't because of the rules. But you
24:30
can tell she wants to not want to go hang on, you murderer's bitch.
24:33
Yeah, I remember what you did two weeks ago, Like yeah,
24:37
and didn't have that thought running where I absolutely should have, Like you said,
24:40
we'll talk about it more in a couple of weeks time. But yeah,
24:42
it's like, was she there watching the like when does she spoiler alert
24:47
to Ithymon hasn't seen Peggans Project. It's like, when when did she start
24:49
watching SG one? Like I think we should talk about it then, yeah,
24:55
like that's what I mean, like, it's just yeah, it's just
24:56
a weird thing. And then in the end her entire plan it was completely
25:00
undone by a lizard. Did they use the lizard though, Yes, it
25:06
was right at the end, because that was the whole reason Cam and Toil
25:08
were chasing it, because it always has a natural immunity. Yeah, but
25:11
I didn't think. I don't think they because they did because right and again
25:15
remember Mitchell said, oh, so that was a wild goose chase or something.
25:19
No, no, no, no, because it was a it was
25:22
a throwaway line right at the end. Yes, to take it to the
25:27
lab, yeah, shine mountain. Yeah. I was getting worked up,
25:36
cussing it to telling him to go one, leave me. Must have been
25:41
twenty minutes before I realized he had gone on. Sitting there talking to myself,
25:45
what about you? Any hallucinations? Yeah. When they put me in
25:49
the part, I imagined I was being put in a coffin. I thought
25:52
I was being buried alive. Well, she was saying, sir, I
25:59
assumed doctor Lamb got you up to speak, Yes, sir. Between the
26:02
sample they collected from Tilk and the research doctor Rymer and I conducted. They
26:06
were able to produce a serum that effectively isolated the parasite and starved it out.
26:10
I just hate that that cave was a dead end. We went through
26:11
all that for nothing exactly. Yea, so she said sample, She didn't
26:18
say skipped ahead. So she said, and she said sam from Tilk.
26:22
So is that the sample of the lizard Tilk got or the sample of Tilk
26:26
because he had a slight immunity to it because of trietonin interesting, that's what
26:32
Mitchell was saying. It is a dead end because they couldn't find the same
26:34
growl. Yeah, and also the lab was a dead end in terms of
26:38
there's nothing there. And then that's when Daniel throws in that line saying,
26:41
well, actually I read a thing off screen that said Atlantis, and I
26:44
didn't mention it the whole did I not? Did not say we should have
26:48
picked it up and gone to Atlantis before we were all killed. I thought
26:52
I mentioned it earlier. Let's see what him saying that might prove to be
26:56
useful Atlantis. Do you think the location of weapon is hidden in their database?
27:00
I think it's worth checking out. I love it as she just jumped
27:03
to that conclusion. Yeah, oh, so you're saying, like, holy,
27:08
holy whack, batman, we should go to Atlanta. That's exactly what
27:11
I'm saying, Sam. It's like two co workers that have figured if they
27:17
just say enough ship, they might be able to get a free international trip
27:19
out of this. Where should go to Africa? Yeah? Great idea.
27:23
What the NRLs in Las Vegas next year? We should go and cover it.
27:26
Sorry, that's actually too personal that we're talking about my radio station at
27:30
the moment. How do we make this work? Big shout out to Tilt
27:33
for saying no to drugs. You know, they're passing around all they're good,
27:36
shipping their briefcase pills, and he's just like, no, thank you.
27:38
I will prefer my retonment you buddy. Yeah. It's like he's on
27:44
tests. I'm not that Yeah, no, good boy. Now I have
27:49
one little interesting little tidbit here for you, just to show you the I
27:56
don't want to say the quality, because it wasn't a horrible episode. It
27:59
was. It was iffy, but it just it puts it into a group
28:03
that I'm not comfortable with. Bugs. Well yeah, bugs, it goes
28:07
into a bug episode sleep bugs. This time, but it also goes into
28:11
the bird category. Oh oh god, when is it? Birds? What?
28:21
Birds? O point exactly? I first noticed in the village now here
28:26
in the forest as well an unusual stillness. There are no birds or any
28:33
other animal life for that matter. Now are no birds? Interesting that that
28:37
is a Tilk saying that to Sam, Because Mitchell, do you have like
28:41
a like a chiny, like a flashback? Like oh dream sequence? Put
28:47
it in post. It's fine, yep, cast your minds back. I
28:51
thought you were. I thought you were saying that to set up you.
28:52
No, No, I didn't have that. It really occurred to me about
28:56
ten minutes old, leaving the house, when I was sitting the audio through
29:00
to Mitchell, that I should have grabbed back. What was your instrument you're
29:03
talking about the other day? The plucking? Oh, the harpsichord. I've
29:07
got something here. I don't know whether it's gonna work perfect. Cast your
29:12
minds back, Go back to another another one doing that? Leave alone?
29:22
Back everybody to the Terrible Awful Times of Season one, where we're introduced to
29:30
the amazing Robert C. Cooper's first episode, the first Commandments, Is there
29:37
a problem? Do the cutter? No? Birds ship. You know we
29:44
are ten years later they've swapped, guys, they swapped. That's a great
29:48
reference, Like that's just that's then we're talking about that then too, because
29:52
it's like, Okay, how many planets has still been to Are they always
29:56
fucking bird? Yeah? Because birds are spic used to be kind of evolved
30:00
from dinosaurs. We went to the Knox planet and this giant dragonflies flying around.
30:04
There's gonna be no birds on that planet because the dragonflies would have been
30:07
eating. Yeah, I found that. I had that exact thought without remembering
30:11
that they've already covered it. But when he's walking rank they know birds,
30:14
I'm like, yeah, I mean probably not. There might not be any
30:17
octopus in the ocean either, Like he started an investigation, what's what's doing?
30:21
And then I'm not a zoologist, but don't lizards need stuff to eat?
30:26
That isn't like more than are they omnivorous or are they like herbivores?
30:30
Like can can a lizard? Can a lizard be a herbivore? Because if
30:33
there's no birds and no bugs and there's nothing on this planet, how did
30:36
that lizard stay alive? It only would have had to live on planets brain
30:38
Bugs Eat the Little brain Bugs tell you what I mean. There's a rank
30:44
for the end of the podcast. We rank the bug episodes because there are
30:48
enough of them as a few. Yes, the thing that was the best
30:53
actor in this episode I found was Amanda Tapping, but also her acting made
31:00
the most sleepy yeah, like sleep out the way the way she was tired,
31:04
because she has so max exposition she rattles through it usually, and in
31:08
this episode she had to say the same exact lines, but she had to
31:11
say it slow because she was tired, and it's like wow. And the
31:15
way eyelids were kind of heavy and flake because Daniel was a little more like
31:21
just leaning like dropping books down and sort of leaning on chairs. Yeah,
31:25
and I kind of yeah, I know you're right. It's definitely one of
31:27
those episodes that you fall asleep watching, Yeah, which is I think why
31:30
I never got back to it. Yeah, me too. I was genuinely
31:33
worried about that because you know, I'm watching it today and you know,
31:37
end of a big, long work week, had very little sleep and malmoy
31:41
am I I hope I'm not getting sick, blah blah blah, and I'm
31:44
driving home struggling to drive home once. To get home, I've got to
31:48
stay awake. Anyone can't even I've got to watch Stargate, which is fine.
31:49
I'm looking forward to that podcast night and look, can't don't watch it.
31:53
Not go back to Jacob. Yeah, not to go back to Jacob.
31:56
But right as I hit play, I get a delivery, a gross
32:00
delivery, two weeks worth of groceries for a family of six. There's a
32:05
lot of shit and a lot of cold stuff that needs to be put away.
32:07
But I've got about two hours and ten minutes to watch two hours worth
32:09
of Stargate before I can't watch any more TV. So I had to put
32:14
the foot down and put those groceries away while I watched that. Yeah,
32:17
but I was like, thank god, I'm standing up and doing stuff now.
32:22
I put about three lobes of bread and two packets of cereal away in
32:24
that forty minutes because I was paying too much attention to the Stargate episode.
32:29
But I was glad that I wasn't sitting down to watch it because I was
32:32
already fighting fatigue, and if I was watching an episode about fighting fatigue,
32:37
it might have just pushed me over the la. Eventually, he could do
32:38
one thing successfully or he can do two things unsuccessfully. That is on my
32:45
women. Well, I've also been accused of being the woman in the relationship
32:51
too, So would you say, where's the light? Where's there are no
32:57
lies detected? Mitchell watched Juice Bigelow European had some weird references in this episode.
33:07
Oh, I kind of regret having watched that movie last night. No,
33:09
instantly regretted that movie was fine. It was I remember coming out of
33:15
watching that week We're just look at each other like, man, that was
33:16
like that was amazing. For years. Oh, what do you say,
33:22
was it one or two that he watched to europe he said European. No,
33:27
I don't remember that much, but I just coming out of the first
33:29
one and for weeks and maybe probably even months afterwards, just out of nowhere,
33:34
you just be sitting on you that's huge fish. Yeah, like constantly.
33:38
I still do that everywhere. I think we've done another pod. So
33:46
the biggest question I had, apart from like the boring bug research, is
33:54
why did the hazmat team come at the eleventh hour? They already sent the
34:00
rugs so they're aware of the situation, and why not why not send a
34:04
research team and has Matt initially to help out. So it's not just it's
34:09
like sleepy people do it. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, because I mean
34:14
I get it. I initially thought, well, they can't help them because
34:16
they're in quarantine, but then why did they come? Yeah exactly. They
34:22
start on them all on those quarantine pods anyway, so it's like they were
34:24
safe enough to go there in their quarantine suits. Yeah. So yeah,
34:29
And it's like back in when they were on the the desert planet that Varle
34:35
episode with the Malduren and everyone was getting sick from the or I plague,
34:38
and it's like, well, Lamb showed up in her little quarantine suit and
34:44
was helping out and she was staying in that for ages. So yeah,
34:46
no, you're absolutely right. So we do assume that was just Landry like
34:51
making his own call, because there was that that conversation between he and Mitchell
34:55
saying, how do you want me to send more people? Is no,
34:57
no, no, sir, I think that would be in daydream more life.
35:00
She's like, Okay, no worries, Like do we hear between that
35:02
conversation and the team showing up at the end to say them at the eleventh
35:07
hour. Was there any other discussion of that that we saw as an audience
35:12
or we just I think just in the writing room that was discussed well,
35:16
because it's like it'd be different if like we didn't see that conversation, but
35:20
then a team showed up anyway, be like okay, obviously that obviously back
35:23
home they got a bit worried where there was definitely drugs. Yeah, I
35:29
told them not to send anyone else because whatever, you don't know what in
35:32
the in the short term. But then after the first guy dies, that's
35:37
when you die back and go all right, yeah, we're starting to die,
35:39
so yeah, and we're all collapsing from from the sleep sleeping time yeah
35:45
yeah, and then the has Matt team should come in. So it didn't
35:46
make any sense. It was just it was just like that beautiful eleventh hour
35:52
moment when Carter and Daniel are literally about to fall asleep, and yeah,
35:58
it Has Matt team rescues til can hm hmm. Yeah, which is like
36:00
I said, I think the whole episode that hell peral should have been there.
36:04
We didn't need that ticking clock. They could have just been solving the
36:07
mystery or at least like be like the Walking Dead where they're infected, but
36:13
it's only when they fall asleep. It's not making them extra tide. It's
36:15
just when they do fall asleep, there is a they have to right,
36:21
Yeah, well I think there is that element. But then they were artificially
36:24
keeping themselves awake with all the drugs is just something that obviously the towns people
36:28
wouldn't have had, so they would have just gone to sleep and never woken
36:30
up. Yeah, But the idea of it was that the bug is sending
36:36
the serotonin make them tired. Yeah, it's just too much, too many
36:44
things going on that didn't need to really be there at all. Yeah,
36:46
and then you're sort of in this sort of sleepy sort of thing and you're
36:50
jumping back to all this comedy stuff with Vala, yeah, and then jumping
36:52
back to this. Yeah. It was because otherwise, even by the way,
36:57
we didn't mention who wrote it, John Paul okay, hmm, yeah,
37:00
and director Mikeito. Yeah, because otherwise, like the filter that they
37:08
dropped over all the outdoor shots in that planet, and you know a little
37:13
bit of haze, the set dressing, everything's old and aged and stuff,
37:15
and okay, cool, we're in a village, but it doesn't look exactly
37:19
the same as every other village we go to over the last couple of seasons
37:22
where there's some straw huts and you know, some some muddy pathways and stuff.
37:27
Because yeah, you just like again dropped a little smoky, hazy filter
37:30
over the top, and it's like, oh lo and behold, this actually
37:31
looks like a different place. And it's like, oh no, this is
37:35
a this is a silent hill sort of really scary setting because you know,
37:38
sleep is the is the villain here. It's like that's scary in itself,
37:42
like the idea that something like that could be could be scary like that,
37:47
that's deadly. I mean, that's what makes the you know, the Elm
37:51
Street movies. Freddy kruegeis hauch a great but they he's full asleep, then
37:52
he'll get you. Other than that can't really touch up. But but but
37:57
I have to have to sleep. I don't have to go on the war
38:00
order, so the shark can't always eat me. I don't have to go
38:01
camping at Crystal Lake. Jason doesn't always have to slip my throat. But
38:06
you know, I have to sleep. I don't have to eat wheat.
38:10
So the second episode of Star Trek I ever watched. It was basically where
38:14
like aliens like like kill you when you sleep? Oh really? Yeah?
38:19
Okay that remember the voyage one? What else is boring? Click that button?
38:25
I'm trying to get on. I think I'm done. Yeah, I
38:30
might just say, speaking of Joe, Joe Malotzi randomly tweeted this week he
38:37
did a vine. But I'll just read the first the first tweet, I
38:40
once worked with a rider who never paid for lunch. When we were shooting
38:45
at the studio, the riders would eat off the catering truck. When we
38:49
were shooting on location, we would usually have a production office order in,
38:52
but every so often we would go out as a group. And whenever we
38:55
would go out as a group, we would take turns paying. There was
39:00
no scorecard or official list. We would just pick up the tab for the
39:04
table and we felt like it was our turn. But after a while I
39:07
noticed something. I noticed that one rider never seemed to pay for anything.
39:12
He'll never even he never even offered to pay. So one day we went
39:15
out for lunch. Most of the other rider producers were busy, so it
39:20
was just the three of us, Me, my writing partner, Paul,
39:22
and the cheapskate Ah, the waitress bought over the bill. Ordinarily one of
39:27
us would have snapped it up, but not on that day. Paul had
39:30
picked up the last lunch, so he wasn't about to do it, and
39:32
I wasn't going to do it because I wanted to see how long that bill
39:37
would sit there. Oh my god, turned out quite a while. Normally
39:43
would have sat there. Normally we would have been out of there in five
39:47
minutes after finishing the meal. But on that day we sat there, that
39:51
bill sitting conspicuously on the table between us. Five minutes, ten minutes,
39:55
fifteen minutes. We made small talk. I smiled amiably across the table at
40:01
the notorious skin Flint, who either obviously abstained chattering chattering on or obstinate chattered
40:10
on. The only one who conveyed any sense of unease was Paul, who
40:15
five minutes in realized what I was up to. Yeah, so you can
40:22
go to Twitter and read the rest of it, because it's quite a long
40:24
vine. But any what I what I did was I just added a gift
40:30
because everyone was starting to kind of guess, was it such and such He's
40:35
like, no, it was a brad right, of course. Not was
40:37
it feed the Delaese? No, it wasn't him. And then I just
40:40
did like a gift of a mini Cooper screaming around the corner and taking off,
40:45
and at the top of that gift said classic Cooper, and Joe Malozzi
40:51
just liked it. So I think we can all assume that was Robert C.
40:57
Cooper, Robert cheaps gay Cooper. We finally it does start with a
41:04
C. Holy ship. I'm a writer, I'm a director, I'm a
41:08
producer. I don't I've worked crass server side. That's why I don't want
41:13
to save my money. I don't buy lunch. I don't buy I bring,
41:15
I bring Chinese containers. I'm not going to pay for another man's lunch.
41:21
That's a game. I want to dating him. O, my god,
41:28
that's game. Anyway, I thought that was hilarious, you know,
41:31
and i'd seen the first couple of lines of I guess that. I think
41:37
it was the first tweet. I didn't know that he went on that long,
41:40
like, yeah, it's not even like oh, I said, tell
41:44
him read it. I didn't read it. That was the first time.
41:45
Tell me not over it without telling me not over it. I'm glad that
41:47
he's going into so much detail, like that's that's brilliant. That was from
41:52
Nile and it just rants let me know about that tweet on Twitter. Thanks
41:57
mate, it works out so well for for our show, it doesn't.
42:01
I just said, I'm just taking that as confirmation absolutely, like it wasn't
42:08
a no no if he went to notice so many things everybody else he's like,
42:14
look, I'm not. I didn't say he's like rober ding ding Ding.
42:16
I didn't say, yes, come on the show, poll come on
42:21
the show. The water's warm, come on in SID that'd be great if
42:24
we can start tweeting at baron Destructor and just tell him to come on the
42:28
pod. We asked him. He said yes. When yeah, Mitch asked
42:31
him, he said, of course, I have no memory of this.
42:36
I was like two years ago, Okay, we'll get on. We didn't
42:38
get him on the pod. We will get well. Maybe it was like
42:42
at the time, it was like, well, you're not doing that over
42:43
zoom. We'll wait until we get back into the studio. Yeah, but
42:45
then I think several yeah, you know, see Mitch's mail bag from a
42:50
few weeks ago, years ago. Yeah, all right, well we'll get
42:54
onto that. We'll do that at the end, Yeah, when we're finished,
42:57
because then we can talk about the whole series. Yeah, yeah,
43:00
that's a good idea. Yeah, well, we'll try and get as many
43:01
people, as many cast members and stuff as we can. I think we
43:05
should start with Corky because he's actually, I mean he's already on the show,
43:07
already on the episode. So that's yeah, that's true if we can
43:10
get him. Look, obviously we don't Gary, but we know he's peak.
43:15
Yeah, that's it. We're going to finish it up with Gary.
43:16
Yeah. Yeah, like we'll get a da before Gary. Yeah, obvious.
43:22
The hero of the show, the real hero SG one A Hero's Journey
43:29
brought to you by Walter. That's episode two hundred and thirty one. Morpheus.
43:36
I really put together some kind of like montage of every time the word
43:39
Morpheus is said in the Matrix film. I thought i'd doing that in might
43:43
then have two hours to watch that and cuttle that audio together. I'm sure
43:45
that's on I'm sure it's on YouTube. Okay, to take that further,
43:50
I did google that and couldn't find one even just Hugo Weaving saying the word
43:54
Morphius. Morpheus was the Greek god of dreams. That was She's going to
44:00
be my question. I mean, you know what, Maddie's gonna know what
44:01
what the title means? A new morphe has had something to do with that,
44:04
So good man, go out of dreams. Go what an easy gig?
44:07
If you're if you're auditionet roles to the gods? Can you mean anything?
44:14
Dreams? All right, we'll be back next week. Misbegotten. That
44:17
brings us back to something to talk about before the moment, played Dreams by
44:21
Cranberry's you don't want a new One? Oh that was so terrible. I
44:30
think you gave me cancer. I'm a little overwhelmed. But as my first
44:49
official act, I'd like to report a rather disagreeable little man. That would
44:52
be me. Mister Wolsey's offer was part of the test. We wanted to
44:57
make sure we could trust you. I knew that, But were his sexual
45:01
advance as part of the test, I don't know why. I well,
45:07
I would have even considered playing along, but some of his requests were well
45:10
a little unusual even for me. I would never do what I loved about
45:20
what Bridges did there. I didn't quite know if it was Landry being disgusted
45:28
at the idea that maybe Woolsey did do that, or that he was just
45:31
in a situation where Varla was talking about rooting him, and it was just
45:35
like, I've got to get out of here. But I'm like, but
45:37
why, but why? The performance fantastic crack a boner. As much as
45:43
Varla pisces me off, I'm like, what are your limitations? Where do
45:45
you draw? She's doing it, George castanz and just rubbing his bald head
45:52
with oil? How was how was? How was little Adry? How was
45:54
she? How she can know that didn't happen? What did you have to
46:00
do with your new husband? Convince him that that was what brought on the
46:04
little ari child? Anyway? Great people, great people, misbegotten. That's
46:09
where we go on next week SGA season three episode two. Oh great,
46:14
another boring one. Oh yeah, isn't it? How day? And then
46:21
we're back in two weeks. Pegas's projects so a little I guess, you
46:24
know, somewhat of a pseudo sequel to this week. I'll see you all
46:27
in two weeks. Okay, Wow, even Maddie's not showing up for the
46:30
weird episode next week reached not a weird episode. It totally don't swear over
46:38
the Cranberries Mate Show. Some respective the dead Get in, Get In,
46:52
Get In, asked, get into it now, before it's too late. Gotta
