- 0:40Speaker 1: about harmony. It is episode fourteen of season four of
- 0:45Speaker 1: Stargate Atlantis, the episode that Maddie said last episode may
- 0:49Speaker 1: not be here next week. I think it was it
- 0:51Speaker 1: was retaliation for was it something weir related that I did?
- 0:54Speaker 1: What was it was? I mean, I feel like it's
- 0:56Speaker 1: been something out the last couple of weeks. I've been
- 0:58Speaker 1: I've just been you know, there's grating on some areas.
- 1:01Speaker 1: Then you were you know what, next week, maybe you
- 1:03Speaker 1: do it harmony by yourself. It will be the first
- 1:05Speaker 1: episode you've ever missed the pod and maybe you weren't
- 1:08Speaker 1: going to be here, but thank you, thank you for
- 1:10Speaker 1: showing up because I we'll get into it, because I
- 1:12Speaker 1: was going to say, I understand why, but we'll get
- 1:14Speaker 1: into it harmony straight into the old synopsis and then
- 1:17Speaker 1: we'll try and get through this. We don't know how
- 1:19Speaker 1: long it's going to go for yet, you guys listening,
- 1:21Speaker 1: you can see the time curve. You can see how
- 1:23Speaker 1: long we lasted, but we'll push on. While visiting an
- 1:26Speaker 1: off world trading partner, Shepherd and McKay meet Harmony, the
- 1:29Speaker 1: successor to the throne, a demanding child who has as
- 1:32Speaker 1: many enemies as she does character flaws. I hadn't read
- 1:37Speaker 1: that yet. That's that's brilliant written by the one and
- 1:41Speaker 1: only MG, Martin Guiro and direction can.
- 1:44Speaker 2: I just realized we have the same initials. Oh, I
- 1:47Speaker 2: really just realized that. God damn.
- 1:49Speaker 1: From one MG to another and director William wearing.
- 2:00Speaker 3: Love match.
- 2:01Speaker 2: Okay, what do you think?
- 2:03Speaker 1: Two moments? I love in that and at the end, okay,
- 2:08Speaker 1: just the great wrap up. Thank you, Rachel. I. When
- 2:12Speaker 1: I was thinking about this being a part of the podcast,
- 2:14Speaker 1: my first thought was to jump in and say, I mean,
- 2:17Speaker 1: I'm sure I wasn't the only one. But not knowing
- 2:20Speaker 1: where this episode was going to go. The first three
- 2:23Speaker 1: frames that they showed the second older sister to the
- 2:28Speaker 1: young queen, I was like, bad.
- 2:29Speaker 2: Guy, bad guy, She's going to be the bad guy.
- 2:32Speaker 1: I don't know what she's going to do. She's bad,
- 2:34Speaker 1: she's evil. Keep an eye on her. I knew it
- 2:36Speaker 1: was her, and I didn't even know what it was
- 2:38Speaker 1: that she was going to do. I know it what
- 2:40Speaker 1: this episode was about. But yeah, and then old Lover.
- 2:44Speaker 1: I mean, there were some areas in this Okay, look,
- 2:48Speaker 1: what do I think we can get into the real stuff?
- 2:50Speaker 1: What do I think I can understand why you didn't
- 2:52Speaker 1: want to be here for this episode. Let's just put
- 2:54Speaker 1: it that way. I can understand why Maddie did not
- 2:56Speaker 1: want to be here. And I don't know what else
- 3:00Speaker 1: to say other than you know, it covered some areas
- 3:03Speaker 1: where they you didn't know what they were talking about,
- 3:06Speaker 1: and that was part of the joke. For one. I
- 3:08Speaker 1: want to I just okay, this feels me. I feel
- 3:12Speaker 1: like I'm just talking at this point, Matt, He's just
- 3:14Speaker 1: looking at me.
- 3:14Speaker 3: What's gone?
- 3:15Speaker 1: What are you doing? Can you say? Can you speak?
- 3:18Speaker 1: Can you say something? Please?
- 3:20Speaker 2: Star Trek Star Trek Star Trek Star Trek? Is that
- 3:23Speaker 2: is that three? Can I go?
- 3:27Speaker 4: I know?
- 3:28Speaker 1: But that's what that is? No, that only counts as one,
- 3:32Speaker 1: but please use them fairly. Spare less than four minutes
- 3:36Speaker 1: in Oh Boy, Oh Boy. Here, I was like, I'm like, oh,
- 3:41Speaker 1: maybe I should go in there and I'll tell Maddie
- 3:42Speaker 1: I'm going to intro the show and you're not even
- 3:45Speaker 1: going to talk, and I'll get through like the synopsis,
- 3:47Speaker 1: and I'll start talking about what I think, and then
- 3:49Speaker 1: we'll go, oh, Maddie's here. He's been hell the whole time.
- 3:51Speaker 1: Now that's lame because it's manufactured. But now that i'm
- 3:56Speaker 1: I'm we're here, and you've just done that to me,
- 3:59Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, I really don't want to be here
- 4:01Speaker 1: talking about this by myself.
- 4:03Speaker 2: I feel like starture references are a threat now, not
- 4:07Speaker 2: just the fun that they.
- 4:08Speaker 1: Are at the moment, they really are. Like I think
- 4:10Speaker 1: I've said before, I listened to Bill, but now it'll
- 4:12Speaker 1: be a thousand of the podcasts like it. But I
- 4:14Speaker 1: listened to comedian Bill Burr. His podcast. He has an
- 4:16Speaker 1: hour long podcast and then a half an hour long podcast.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Twice a week, he has these two releases, one hour,
- 4:21Speaker 1: one half hour, and it's just him for the most part,
- 4:24Speaker 1: just him in his basement, in an office, in a
- 4:27Speaker 1: hotel room, wherever he is, and he just talks, Oh.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you've sent me some clips of one
- 4:31Speaker 2: of those.
- 4:31Speaker 1: Yeah, Like he'll just go off and rants like political,
- 4:33Speaker 1: he'll just tell a funny story he'll just talk about
- 4:36Speaker 1: shit in the world. What again, like something food that
- 4:39Speaker 1: he made, like motor bikes, his flying lessons, like whatever
- 4:43Speaker 1: the hell he wants to talk about. He just talks.
- 4:45Speaker 1: And I'm like, he'll make it very clear. When he's
- 4:48Speaker 1: making an edit, he'll go, oh, it's such an old
- 4:50Speaker 1: man thing. And I'm sure he would say the exact
- 4:52Speaker 1: same thing, but he is in his like mid to
- 4:54Speaker 1: late fifties, and he'd be like, oh, hang on, i
- 4:56Speaker 1: gotta go for a second, and I'll come back with
- 4:58Speaker 1: the I'll come back with the power of editing. I've
- 5:00Speaker 1: just got to go and do this thing. Okay, we're back,
- 5:03Speaker 1: and through the magic of editing, you here I am.
- 5:06Speaker 1: And I'm like, dude, just just stop talking and then
- 5:08Speaker 1: start again. No one would know, there's no there's no
- 5:11Speaker 1: like ad break that he slips in. There's no benefit
- 5:13Speaker 1: to pointing that out.
- 5:14Speaker 2: If so he wasn't like successful like comedian an actor.
- 5:17Speaker 2: It does sound very much like a crazy white man
- 5:20Speaker 2: in a bunker.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Kind of like you, and I think he'd be happy, yeah,
- 5:22Speaker 1: saying that as well, And but it just it's just
- 5:26Speaker 1: it's very clear that he just talks for an hour
- 5:28Speaker 1: and it's just him outside of those edits which he
- 5:30Speaker 1: makes obvious. And I'm thinking, and I've spoken to a
- 5:32Speaker 1: guy that sits in this very studio with me, a
- 5:34Speaker 1: broadcaster of twenty five years, and he's like, I don't
- 5:36Speaker 1: know how he does it. I don't know that I
- 5:38Speaker 1: could just sit there by myself and talk for an hour.
- 5:41Speaker 1: And I've often thought about that. I've tried it on
- 5:43Speaker 1: the way home, and Okay, I'm going to press record
- 5:44Speaker 1: on my phone and just talk and just see what happens,
- 5:47Speaker 1: see whether I can do it. Now, I have no
- 5:50Speaker 1: problem talking a long time, Mattie. You and I will
- 5:53Speaker 1: send voice notes to each other multiple times a day
- 5:54Speaker 1: that go for five, six, seven, eight minutes like at
- 5:57Speaker 1: a time, and we'll have weird eight minutes one side
- 5:59Speaker 1: of conversations. We bounce off each other.
- 6:02Speaker 2: We just call each other and do it live.
- 6:04Speaker 1: We wouldn't cover the same ground, mate, you know. We
- 6:07Speaker 1: get each other like we're providing a podcast for the
- 6:09Speaker 1: other person to listening to in the car. But I
- 6:13Speaker 1: over and get into geek. Actually no, it was over on.
- 6:17Speaker 1: I got my own little channel that I've had for
- 6:19Speaker 1: about two years, and I've had five episodes go out,
- 6:21Speaker 1: but it's Mitch Lewis Reviews and this. I was just
- 6:23Speaker 1: talking about the Superman trailer when they released that, and
- 6:26Speaker 1: for a three minute trailer. I think the end result
- 6:29Speaker 1: was thirty three minutes. But I recorded for outside of
- 6:33Speaker 1: watching it twice, So take six minutes off. I recorded
- 6:35Speaker 1: for fifty just talking about a three minute trailer and
- 6:40Speaker 1: around the movie itself and the lead in. So clearly
- 6:43Speaker 1: I don't.
- 6:43Speaker 2: Know that I could even do that for like a
- 6:45Speaker 2: day's the future past.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Wow, try it just for a little experiment, mate. So
- 6:50Speaker 1: having said all that, I've proven to myself that I
- 6:52Speaker 1: can sit in this room and just talk. Yet the
- 6:55Speaker 1: idea of talking about this episode scared the shit out
- 6:58Speaker 1: of me. To go back to that start with you
- 7:02Speaker 1: still here and please be delicate with your other universe mentions.
- 7:10Speaker 1: At the beginning, I'm thinking is why is Rodney making
- 7:15Speaker 1: being so casual about Well, I shocked down the next sister. No, Hey,
- 7:19Speaker 1: these two have clearly got a thing for you. I've
- 7:20Speaker 1: shocked done the next one. I've got her. She's gonna
- 7:23Speaker 1: be hot. They've said she's even more beautiful. I shocked Gunner.
- 7:25Speaker 1: You get all the hot aliens. I want her, and
- 7:27Speaker 1: I'm like, wasn't it like a week or two weeks.
- 7:32Speaker 2: Ago, literally the end of the previous episode last week? Right,
- 7:35Speaker 2: he was about to propose to Katie, Like what then
- 7:38Speaker 2: man said, I'm not going to do that because I
- 7:40Speaker 2: need to grow as a human being first, Like, how.
- 7:43Speaker 1: How how key are you to move on? How can
- 7:45Speaker 1: are you to grow in these areas?
- 7:47Speaker 2: I don't even remember her name. No, I didn't even
- 7:50Speaker 2: know the new princess's name.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Now it wouldn't have mattered. And then comes out and
- 7:53Speaker 1: it's a child, and it's like, oh, that that awkward
- 7:57Speaker 1: chat you were saying before, that's fine, And then I
- 7:59Speaker 1: recognize so straight away it's got to be that Jodelle
- 8:02Speaker 1: Jodell Furland. And I only know I think at the
- 8:05Speaker 1: time it must well would have been a couple of
- 8:07Speaker 1: years shy of her showing up in Twilight. Right, she
- 8:10Speaker 1: was the I want to say she was the daughter
- 8:13Speaker 1: of Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson with the awful hybrid name.
- 8:18Speaker 1: I want to say she wasnes Me and Twilight.
- 8:21Speaker 2: That was only a CGI and it was a CGI baby.
- 8:23Speaker 1: It was a CGI baby. I think I thought.
- 8:26Speaker 2: You were going to say, I got I know she
- 8:30Speaker 2: was didn't popular in Dark Matter. I think you're going
- 8:32Speaker 2: to say pretty little liars or something. You always seem
- 8:33Speaker 2: to pull out pretty little liars. I mean, let's go
- 8:37Speaker 2: easy on always well whenever there's a young female character
- 8:40Speaker 2: like she was and pretty little lies.
- 8:42Speaker 1: Okay, sure, I mean I've definitely done it. Yeah, I
- 8:46Speaker 1: wish that I had watched that show.
- 8:47Speaker 2: The last The last time we saw Jodell was in Stargate.
- 8:50Speaker 2: I was going to say we have she was young
- 8:53Speaker 2: Andrea in the opening of season ten. Oh my god,
- 8:55Speaker 2: she was like I'm very hungry. Of course.
- 8:58Speaker 1: Yeah, it feels a little bit too close to have
- 9:00Speaker 1: reused a She's a key character, and I'm sure we
- 9:04Speaker 1: never see her or maybe we do.
- 9:06Speaker 2: Well, not until Dark Matter. That's I think it was
- 9:09Speaker 2: because Dark Matter was the show that I thought, so
- 9:12Speaker 2: it's not a target episode. No, no, no, that was
- 9:14Speaker 2: the show that I want to say Joe and Paul
- 9:16Speaker 2: did after Stargate.
- 9:18Speaker 1: Like I apologize, No, it wasn't. She wasn't. She wasn't
- 9:21Speaker 1: rines mate as this other chick Mackenzie Foy, who I've
- 9:24Speaker 1: I think I've seen her up here and stuff more recently. Yeah, yeah,
- 9:28Speaker 1: I think I think Janelle Philand though has appeared in
- 9:30Speaker 1: her in a lot of stuff.
- 9:32Speaker 2: Yes, this is the reason that she was in this episode.
- 9:35Speaker 4: Carl and I did kind of an idea swap because
- 9:38Speaker 4: I had kind of the original inkling for for quarantine,
- 9:41Speaker 4: and he kind of took that and ran with that,
- 9:43Speaker 4: And then he had this idea about this, you know,
- 9:47Speaker 4: Shepperd and McKay having an escort this brat prince of
- 9:50Speaker 4: some sort through some sort of quest and I really
- 9:53Speaker 4: liked that idea. And of course, uh, the prospect of
- 9:57Speaker 4: having to cast a teen year old boy or twelve
- 10:01Speaker 4: year old boy to carry an episode was terrifying to me,
- 10:05Speaker 4: and I remembered, uh, Jordelle is a Geordelle Jodelle Jodell sorry,
- 10:10Speaker 4: uh from well, she's been in tons of movies, but
- 10:13Speaker 4: also uh obviously season ten of of SG Want and thought, well,
- 10:18Speaker 4: she's amazing. So this is a rare occurrence where we
- 10:20Speaker 4: actually called and made sure she was available and then
- 10:24Speaker 4: once they were like, great, we have something to read,
- 10:25Speaker 4: and we were like, well no, uh, we were calling
- 10:28Speaker 4: to see if she was available, and now she's a
- 10:31Speaker 4: now that we have her locked in I'll go write
- 10:32Speaker 4: a script, and so this is this was the result.
- 10:35Speaker 4: I just thought it would be a lot more fun
- 10:36Speaker 4: of a little girl as opposed to a little boy
- 10:38Speaker 4: was playing with these guys.
- 10:40Speaker 3: And Joe Delle is fantastic. I mean, you can't say
- 10:42Speaker 3: enough good things about you. She is, Uh, she's crazy,
- 10:46Speaker 3: I mean she is. She is so insanely talented.
- 10:48Speaker 4: It makes uh, it makes it makes all of us
- 10:51Speaker 4: look like lazy fops who have done nothing with our lives.
- 10:56Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean she's very good. She doesn't definitely play
- 10:59Speaker 1: the brat very well. And I think, for sure it's
- 11:02Speaker 1: so much better to have had a young girl than
- 11:05Speaker 1: a young boy, because I think there's certain certainly, as
- 11:10Speaker 1: a parent of both, the frustrations are different. And I
- 11:16Speaker 1: feel like, you know, not that I'm a physical punishment,
- 11:19Speaker 1: you know parent, even though I threatened my kids and go,
- 11:22Speaker 1: you know what, the only thing we're not doing here,
- 11:24Speaker 1: but they'll backhand. I'm not bringing out the belt. You know,
- 11:27Speaker 1: when I was when I was a kid, you go
- 11:29Speaker 1: ask your grandmother, you know, like, hey, I got wap.
- 11:32Speaker 2: I feel like Shepherd would have no issue if they
- 11:33Speaker 2: were if he was a douche little Prince Shepherd would
- 11:35Speaker 2: have no issue just like angle tapping him and over.
- 11:37Speaker 1: That's something like my kid. I'm like, oh, boys, they
- 11:40Speaker 1: get they'll get older, they'll get bigger than me before
- 11:43Speaker 1: they get old enough for me to have even considered
- 11:45Speaker 1: that maybe they needed a little little slap across the face,
- 11:48Speaker 1: and they'll they'll be able to completely take me down.
- 11:51Speaker 1: Whereas having a daughter and I get I mean, yeah,
- 11:54Speaker 1: she's nearly four, but still she's got that little toddle
- 11:57Speaker 1: thing going on, And I'm like, what does this look
- 11:58Speaker 1: like in three or four years when you're your brother's age?
- 12:01Speaker 1: And I'll be angry, but there's only so angry that
- 12:04Speaker 1: I can get with you. I'll just have to I
- 12:06Speaker 1: have to be Rodney where I have to be frustrated,
- 12:08Speaker 1: but I can't. I can't show you how frustrated. I
- 12:10Speaker 1: don't just have to try and talk you out of it.
- 12:12Speaker 1: So there's a little bit more fun room to explore there.
- 12:16Speaker 1: And the manipulation of a young girl, And again say
- 12:19Speaker 1: that as a father to a daughter, the manipulation that
- 12:22Speaker 1: a young girl can can have over a man, as
- 12:26Speaker 1: opposed to what a young boy can get away with
- 12:28Speaker 1: you like made I've done that trick. You can't do
- 12:30Speaker 1: that to me. I've done that. Whereas a little girl
- 12:32Speaker 1: comes up when she says to Shepherd, he ate that
- 12:35Speaker 1: you did. You didn't You're blaming it on me, and
- 12:37Speaker 1: she and He's like, yeah, Rodney, that is something that
- 12:39Speaker 1: you would do, like why would you eat my food?
- 12:41Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, this little bit, I'm gonna hate her.
- 12:45Speaker 1: And she was so back and forth between the two
- 12:47Speaker 1: of them, and she was doing it and then she
- 12:48Speaker 1: sort of softened, but then she would have a hard
- 12:50Speaker 1: edge about something else, and so she wasn't just a
- 12:52Speaker 1: one trick pony through the whole thing. It was like,
- 12:54Speaker 1: I'm here to antagonize Rodney, or I've got this ulterior motive.
- 12:58Speaker 1: She did sort of, you know, change and develop over
- 13:01Speaker 1: the course of the what you know, twenty four hour
- 13:03Speaker 1: story or something.
- 13:04Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, there were layers to her braddiness. Yeah, and yeah,
- 13:06Speaker 2: Joe Dell is a really good actress. And the fact
- 13:09Speaker 2: that everybody hates Harmony so much, oh yeah, you know
- 13:12Speaker 2: in the show and the fandom is a credit to
- 13:16Speaker 2: what she can do. Yes, you know, because she was
- 13:19Speaker 2: very different from Adritt when we saw her as young
- 13:23Speaker 2: Andrea only you know a year and oh, I guess
- 13:26Speaker 2: a year and a half ago.
- 13:27Speaker 1: Yeah, mate, you won't believe it. So I'm just looking
- 13:29Speaker 1: through her IMDb trying to figure out where I know
- 13:32Speaker 1: her from, and I'm like, why would I have thought Twilight,
- 13:35Speaker 1: like the final two, the part one and Part two
- 13:37Speaker 1: where she was in the number three. She was in
- 13:39Speaker 1: Twilight eclips. She played a character called Brie. Not sure
- 13:44Speaker 1: rewatched that movie, but there you go. So like I
- 13:46Speaker 1: did have something in my head that was twenty ten
- 13:49Speaker 1: and this episode of Stargate was from two thousand.
- 13:51Speaker 2: And what to give us an eight?
- 13:54Speaker 1: Yeah, so close, close enough.
- 13:58Speaker 2: I mean it's a nice little time given that Cloneil
- 14:01Speaker 2: was in Twilight as well.
- 14:04Speaker 1: That's right.
- 14:06Speaker 2: He was a human guy. He was Anna faris'sis Hendrick?
- 14:09Speaker 2: Yeah boyfriend or yes?
- 14:11Speaker 1: Yeah, holy hell? Did we the universe? I always knew
- 14:19Speaker 1: I knew that guy.
- 14:21Speaker 2: I mean, there's a great movie from nineteen ninety seven.
- 14:23Speaker 2: I can get you to watch that he's in, but
- 14:24Speaker 2: we won't talk about that, or I might get a microphone.
- 14:26Speaker 1: You might have to talk about it to get yourself
- 14:28Speaker 1: out of talking about this episode. Yeah, so like obviously
- 14:32Speaker 1: they go on they reveal that the oldest Okay, It's
- 14:35Speaker 1: like this was always going to end badly when they said, yeah,
- 14:38Speaker 1: we just went in the brains trust decided that she
- 14:40Speaker 1: was going to be the right queen. Obviously one of
- 14:43Speaker 1: the older two sisters is not going to be happy.
- 14:45Speaker 1: It would have probably been not a better twist, but
- 14:48Speaker 1: the twist if it was the happiest sister, the one
- 14:50Speaker 1: that was presenting herself well and flirting with with John
- 14:53Speaker 1: and and kind of sweetly threatening him like I would
- 14:56Speaker 1: hate to jeopardize our partnership. But it wasn't. It was
- 15:00Speaker 1: the other one, and she's in cohorts with with the Jeni,
- 15:05Speaker 1: the most could I say, the most un threatening Jeni
- 15:09Speaker 1: we've had on this show so far? Just you okay.
- 15:13Speaker 2: So one very interesting that you picked up the sister
- 15:17Speaker 2: being the bad guy straight away, because we've seen the
- 15:19Speaker 2: actress and Stargate before. That is Nia, the girl from Emancipation,
- 15:26Speaker 2: the daughter that you know him and Aboo that we're
- 15:30Speaker 2: trying to get together. So you know, I don't want
- 15:33Speaker 2: to say that she's the reason. Maybe both these episodes
- 15:36Speaker 2: aren't fan favorites.
- 15:38Speaker 1: You know, are you going to say not good? I'm like,
- 15:39Speaker 1: you can't say that.
- 15:40Speaker 2: No, I can't say that. You know, so maybe she's
- 15:44Speaker 2: she's the Kyle and Jackie Oh of Stargate.
- 15:46Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
- 15:47Speaker 2: It leads to shows, you know, not being their best.
- 15:51Speaker 2: I mean wildly they're grading radio. But obviously every show
- 15:54Speaker 2: they ever go on gets canceled. Every TV show that
- 15:57Speaker 2: TV Jackie have been on has been canceled. Yes, yes,
- 16:01Speaker 2: the fund Dot you mentioned the Jeni guy, the nervous
- 16:04Speaker 2: Jeni guy. Now he is one of the very few.
- 16:08Speaker 2: He is Patrick Gilmour. He has already been we go,
- 16:13Speaker 2: he has already known no, no, no, no, he's already
- 16:16Speaker 2: been an SG one.
- 16:17Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 16:17Speaker 2: He was in that horrible Morphius episode where the falling
- 16:20Speaker 2: asleep bugs.
- 16:21Speaker 1: Yep, he was in this.
- 16:24Speaker 2: He goes on to play a recurring character named Volka
- 16:27Speaker 2: in Stargate Universe, and then after that he is one
- 16:31Speaker 2: of the star characters of Brad Wright's show after this, Travelers,
- 16:37Speaker 2: where he plays the softest, most sweet, golden retrieve a boyfriend. Ever, basically,
- 16:47Speaker 2: I feel like that.
- 16:47Speaker 1: Would be a role that not anything against necessarily him.
- 16:51Speaker 1: He's not working off any great gear. And we can
- 16:53Speaker 1: say that because Giro I was about to say, MG gearro,
- 16:57Speaker 1: but I don't want to bring But yeah, there was
- 17:02Speaker 1: I think that moment where they were at the device
- 17:05Speaker 1: and they were hiding behind the tree, the princess or
- 17:08Speaker 1: the future Queen and our two guys and just the
- 17:11Speaker 1: him casually standing there. There wasn't even like it's like
- 17:14Speaker 1: he wasn't even nothing against will and wearing, but like
- 17:16Speaker 1: directed well to be like, hey, you should probably take
- 17:18Speaker 1: some kind of cover, like both of you are talking
- 17:20Speaker 1: from behind like this giant oak tree.
- 17:22Speaker 2: That was a different guy. That was That was two
- 17:24Speaker 2: different Jannish.
- 17:25Speaker 1: So I'll happily cud all this out.
- 17:27Speaker 2: But I know that's fine. The Janni was referencing, he's
- 17:29Speaker 2: the one, the nervous one when you only he's the
- 17:32Speaker 2: first one you encounter when he like he catches them
- 17:35Speaker 2: like before the end. He's he's like the nervous one
- 17:38Speaker 2: with kind of the curlier blonde hair.
- 17:39Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's who I was talking about too.
- 17:41Speaker 2: But no, there's there's two, and then there's like the
- 17:43Speaker 2: nonchalant guy later on, like the leader guy.
- 17:47Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, the one the one that went and saw
- 17:49Speaker 1: the queen and gave her the little walkie talk. Yeah,
- 17:51Speaker 1: that's what I'm talking about.
- 17:52Speaker 2: He was like the boss guy, but they were both
- 17:54Speaker 2: just generic white men, you know, with blonde hair.
- 17:56Speaker 1: And when it when it first popped up then and
- 17:59Speaker 1: was it Rodney? Is you Jeni? When they first yeah,
- 18:03Speaker 1: got them and nervously in the in the bush and
- 18:05Speaker 1: I thought, hang on, didn't I swear it was in
- 18:08Speaker 1: the in the Brendan times before he took a hiatus
- 18:11Speaker 1: and you both were like, yeah, this is it for
- 18:13Speaker 1: the Jani. We do we reach a point where you
- 18:15Speaker 1: guys said, we don't see the Jani again?
- 18:18Speaker 2: And that again, I don't know season four and five
- 18:20Speaker 2: very well at all.
- 18:21Speaker 1: That's what my first thought was. Well, first thought was,
- 18:23Speaker 1: hang on, we weren't supposed to see them. Second thought
- 18:25Speaker 1: was that's right, Maddie case you know, not so much
- 18:27Speaker 1: about four and five. Add to that the filter that
- 18:30Speaker 1: he really doesn't like harmony. Of course he would forget about.
- 18:33Speaker 2: The only thing I remembered about this our entire episode
- 18:35Speaker 2: is the painting. That's the only part of this episode
- 18:37Speaker 2: about it going in That was.
- 18:38Speaker 1: A very fun way to end this episode. Yeah, especially
- 18:41Speaker 1: when she she had a little turn at the end.
- 18:43Speaker 1: I didn't think it would be quite as drastic as
- 18:46Speaker 1: what she took us. Yeah, yeah, I mean saying that
- 18:48Speaker 1: she still it wasn't like she she made a proposition
- 18:51Speaker 1: to Rodney about, hey, just keep your options open because
- 18:55Speaker 1: one day I'm going to marry you. But even I'm
- 18:57Speaker 1: like watching that, and I know occasionally we we run
- 19:00Speaker 1: our twenty twenty five or whatever here it was the
- 19:02Speaker 1: podcast of that particular episode. Come out eyes and filter
- 19:06Speaker 1: over some of these episodes. But that's kind of half
- 19:08Speaker 1: the fun of revisiting them now, going, hey, so much
- 19:10Speaker 1: of this still works. So much of this stands up
- 19:13Speaker 1: some stuff you just wouldn't be able to get away with.
- 19:15Speaker 1: And I'm wondering if it was fun at the start
- 19:17Speaker 1: where you didn't know they were talking about a child,
- 19:19Speaker 1: but then towards the end, and it does work because
- 19:22Speaker 1: you've got a child who is innocent enough, even though
- 19:26Speaker 1: she's about to be a queen and she's making some
- 19:28Speaker 1: very mature decisions. She's very aware of the world she's
- 19:30Speaker 1: stepping into, but she's still got the naive and innocence
- 19:35Speaker 1: of being a child. Where she's saying, I would like
- 19:38Speaker 1: to marry John Shepherd and he would make a great king,
- 19:40Speaker 1: and Shepherd been like, yeah, you're going to get past that,
- 19:43Speaker 1: and Rodney'd be like, yeah, that's not something you want
- 19:45Speaker 1: to do. No, I think I speak for both of
- 19:47Speaker 1: us that it wasn't creepy. But at the same time,
- 19:51Speaker 1: because it was a joke almost for the audience that
- 19:54Speaker 1: was made twice, I'm like, I don't know they do
- 19:57Speaker 1: that these days. I think at the start it's fine,
- 19:59Speaker 1: then when you reveal it a child, you're like awkward
- 20:01Speaker 1: and you move on. You never mentioned it again.
- 20:03Speaker 2: Still less creepy than Allan like, oh, Carter's stalker, you know,
- 20:08Speaker 2: coming back as I mean, yeah, really actually being in love,
- 20:12Speaker 2: because he was very.
- 20:13Speaker 1: Much speaking like a man trapped in a boy's body,
- 20:16Speaker 1: going oh, but like you know back then, you know
- 20:19Speaker 1: what I would have done to you, and you know
- 20:20Speaker 1: what I want to do. Just hey, close your eyes
- 20:22Speaker 1: and pretend I don't have a smooth face that's ever
- 20:23Speaker 1: had a shave, Like just don't look at my baby hands.
- 20:27Speaker 1: Just worry about what I'm going to do with it. So, yeah,
- 20:30Speaker 1: it wasn't as bad as that, that's for sure. So
- 20:33Speaker 1: and just yeah, it added another level to it, but
- 20:35Speaker 1: it was just like it just you know, it offered nothing,
- 20:40Speaker 1: you know, like Okay, they're going for a walk, and like,
- 20:42Speaker 1: thank god there was you know, a usurping type you know,
- 20:46Speaker 1: storyline to it. Otherwise I'm like, what is this going
- 20:49Speaker 1: to be about? Oh, the Jeni here, But even making
- 20:52Speaker 1: it the Jeni as opposed to just like bounty hunters
- 20:56Speaker 1: or mercenaries that the other sister hired, why make it
- 21:00Speaker 1: the Jani because then it complicates our relationship.
- 21:03Speaker 2: With just being people who lived on that planet.
- 21:05Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly. I think this episode ends when we re
- 21:09Speaker 1: meet up again, or if we were to ever And
- 21:11Speaker 1: I guess especially because we don't, as you guys have
- 21:14Speaker 1: told me, but if we were to ever meet up
- 21:16Speaker 1: with the leader they kept referring to, I feel like
- 21:19Speaker 1: this wouldn't even be something that was mentioned. This would
- 21:21Speaker 1: not sour our relationship with him. So why does it
- 21:25Speaker 1: have to be the Jani at all? It didn't. It
- 21:27Speaker 1: didn't make them any more threatening like it should have,
- 21:29Speaker 1: maybe because we know that we've had troubles with them
- 21:31Speaker 1: in the past.
- 21:31Speaker 2: And Rodin even said like, we're kind of ally.
- 21:33Speaker 1: You know, yeah, because we're your biggest friends, right and
- 21:36Speaker 1: me I've helped you out more than maybe any more
- 21:38Speaker 1: than anybody I desire than anybody and a bum for you.
- 21:41Speaker 2: It's great, it's fantastic.
- 21:43Speaker 1: Some are saying the best, you know, So it just
- 21:48Speaker 1: just some strange well I mean they could have tarifed
- 21:50Speaker 1: them and here that was what they were, you know,
- 21:52Speaker 1: they were talking about. But yeah, just it just it
- 21:54Speaker 1: just it didn't add anything to it. And then the
- 21:56Speaker 1: overall episode, I'm like, I don't not every episode needs to,
- 22:00Speaker 1: you know, have an overall impact on the on the storyline.
- 22:03Speaker 1: We love our filler.
- 22:04Speaker 2: Episode, but when you know, episodes one through ten were
- 22:07Speaker 2: all built up to the payoff of episode eleven.
- 22:09Speaker 1: That's right, I'd even think about that.
- 22:11Speaker 2: And then part now we're just like what and like,
- 22:14Speaker 2: we didn't even have Taylor or Ronan or Carter in
- 22:16Speaker 2: this episode, or Keller or you know anyone. Oh yeah,
- 22:21Speaker 2: interesting bit of trivia. This is the first episode of
- 22:23Speaker 2: Atlantis with no interior or exterior shots of Atlantis itself.
- 22:29Speaker 1: The first the first not I guess even when our characters,
- 22:33Speaker 1: our main sort of core four or five have been
- 22:35Speaker 1: stuck on the planet, they make a phone.
- 22:36Speaker 2: Call, they shut back or something, but yeah, no no
- 22:40Speaker 2: shots of Atlantis.
- 22:42Speaker 1: How Like I obviously when I watched it. I noticed,
- 22:45Speaker 1: but I'm not Sittney coming in with notes going oh yeah,
- 22:48Speaker 1: there was no Na, there was no Taylor, there was
- 22:50Speaker 1: no card, there was no Zelenka, like, no, nothing, nothing.
- 22:56Speaker 1: It's like they had a couple of thousand bucks to
- 22:58Speaker 1: make this episode. It's like, well, I need five actors.
- 23:01Speaker 2: Heels like a one act play or something like that. Yeah,
- 23:04Speaker 2: so he did give us this bit of gold, though.
- 23:10Speaker 2: I think we can just add that to the soundboard.
- 23:15Speaker 1: Oh where's this going? I don't remember this bit? Oh,
- 23:17Speaker 1: hang on, My thought about this about this audio goes
- 23:20Speaker 1: longer than the audio itself.
- 23:21Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 23:21Speaker 1: Yeah, I wonder what he would have done. I mean,
- 23:24Speaker 1: would we have then, like we've been saying the last
- 23:26Speaker 1: couple of episodes that if you know, this hardened warrior,
- 23:31Speaker 1: if he just had a real soft spot for kids
- 23:32Speaker 1: and he was really good at communicating with children, you know,
- 23:35Speaker 1: what would that have what would that have done? Already
- 23:37Speaker 1: have met his match?
- 23:38Speaker 2: You know, maybe they should have cut back to the
- 23:40Speaker 2: evil Sister and she was in bed with Ronan or
- 23:42Speaker 2: something like that.
- 23:43Speaker 1: Well, you know, just interesting. Yeah, well maybe they get
- 23:46Speaker 1: back they got the Yeah, he's he's he's in bed
- 23:48Speaker 1: with the with the nice one, and so he she
- 23:54Speaker 1: leaves bed with Ronan to go and meet up with
- 23:56Speaker 1: the Jenai Gun.
- 23:57Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 23:58Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they busted and yeah, we've got to
- 24:01Speaker 1: go through your your wardrobe, and Ronan's like, I'm telling
- 24:04Speaker 1: you she's clean, and then they pull out their walkie
- 24:06Speaker 1: talking and he feels betrayed. You know, she's just a
- 24:09Speaker 1: you know, a one night stand sort of thing. So look,
- 24:12Speaker 1: a lot of areas areas we could have went through.
- 24:14Speaker 4: This is the excuse they had for no Ronan. It
- 24:16Speaker 4: was a quick RTE And originally Ronan was in this episode.
- 24:19Speaker 4: It was going to be the three guys and the
- 24:21Speaker 4: girl basically, and but for production issues, we had to
- 24:27Speaker 4: get Ronan out of like two days three days because
- 24:30Speaker 4: of some second unit stuff for quarantine midway, and so
- 24:34Speaker 4: it was just easier to take him out completely than
- 24:36Speaker 4: explain away why he wasn't around.
- 24:38Speaker 3: That was it.
- 24:40Speaker 1: I mean, I get it. Look in the end, if
- 24:44Speaker 1: you're going to lose him from an episode to benefit another,
- 24:49Speaker 1: make it this one like it was. If we would
- 24:51Speaker 1: have gone it, it would have been, you know, a
- 24:53Speaker 1: not so great albeit shit episode with Ronan, and it
- 24:56Speaker 1: would have and he would have not contributed necessarily, but still,
- 25:01Speaker 1: for lack of a better word, added to it being
- 25:03Speaker 1: shited by just being in it.
- 25:04Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I can't help but bring it back
- 25:06Speaker 2: to weir though in that, you know, there was so
- 25:09Speaker 2: much frustration with any writer that wasn't Brad Right of
- 25:12Speaker 2: trying to figure out ways to include we are in
- 25:15Speaker 2: episodes to the point where at the end of season
- 25:16Speaker 2: three they write a character out, whereas then you get
- 25:18Speaker 2: an episode like this where it only has two of
- 25:21Speaker 2: our main characters and no shots of Atlantis.
- 25:24Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean.
- 25:25Speaker 2: So it's like it can be done. You don't have
- 25:27Speaker 2: to fire actresses to do it. Yeah, it can be done. Yeah,
- 25:31Speaker 2: you know, I think I think the best part of
- 25:33Speaker 2: this episode for me is that it gave us plenty
- 25:36Speaker 2: of little bits of audio that we can add to
- 25:37Speaker 2: the to the soundboard.
- 25:39Speaker 1: Excellent, I do a little thinking.
- 25:41Speaker 3: Yeah, I got a wreath stunner in my backpack.
- 25:44Speaker 2: She can't weigh more than ninety pounds, I said, we're stunner.
- 25:45Speaker 2: It just character back.
- 25:48Speaker 3: Hm, well we can't stand a thirteen year old girl.
- 25:54Speaker 1: Just ah yeah. Yeah.
- 25:59Speaker 2: And then my favorite some of it should I think
- 26:02Speaker 2: I got it.
- 26:03Speaker 1: Ah, we're definitely adding that. Oh yeah, like I don't
- 26:11Speaker 1: know what else. I really don't know what else more
- 26:12Speaker 1: to say about that. I mean, the beast thing, it
- 26:16Speaker 1: was like they're just throwing elements in. It's like, we
- 26:18Speaker 1: got this place they came. We're out here in a
- 26:21Speaker 1: forest environment, treat very green. Great, it's not like we
- 26:25Speaker 1: haven't seen them in a thousand times. That's fine. We've
- 26:28Speaker 1: got a take ocean, a pilgrimage. Oh, by the way,
- 26:31Speaker 1: there's like a just giant creature that occasionally kills people. Okay,
- 26:34Speaker 1: moving on, and then they're hiding from it, and the noises,
- 26:37Speaker 1: I'm like, what's it almost sounds like, you know, the
- 26:41Speaker 1: beam technology. It sounds like it sounds mechanical, it sounds artificial.
- 26:46Speaker 1: Doesn't sound like a beast, like a creature. And then
- 26:50Speaker 1: after the third time they hear it, you get them going, hang,
- 26:52Speaker 1: it doesn't sound right. It more sounds like they're like,
- 26:55Speaker 1: oh this is yeah, this is drone techno. Oh that's
- 26:58Speaker 1: what that noise would have been. I'm like, well, yeah,
- 27:00Speaker 1: they weren't even trying to hide it from the audience.
- 27:03Speaker 2: Yeah, but then also, not a beast. It looks like
- 27:05Speaker 2: a swarm of fireflies, yeah, because they were mini drone.
- 27:07Speaker 1: And just how bad did they mess those people up?
- 27:09Speaker 1: When they're just like, oh god, oh yeah, what could
- 27:12Speaker 1: oh what could do this? And because you know, the makeup,
- 27:15Speaker 1: the budget that shut the ship and obviously the rating
- 27:18Speaker 1: they would have to deal with to show the bodies.
- 27:20Speaker 1: But then right at the end where it fit this
- 27:22Speaker 1: and weird editing too, it was like there was this
- 27:25Speaker 1: one shot or one extended piece of the shot missing.
- 27:28Speaker 1: But when the swarm came out and took down the
- 27:31Speaker 1: little Jennia leader and he lands on the ground and
- 27:34Speaker 1: they just go through him and take off and like,
- 27:38Speaker 1: you don't look that messed up though, Like yeah, it
- 27:40Speaker 1: just looks like he cut the beasting and he just
- 27:42Speaker 1: happens to be allergic and they go off and all
- 27:43Speaker 1: these men are like putty patrol, just like running away,
- 27:47Speaker 1: and they were all It was the way that they
- 27:49Speaker 1: exited the shot. It's like they were moving in the
- 27:53Speaker 1: direction where Rodney and Shepherd were, like they were running
- 27:57Speaker 1: towards them, and then all of a sudden, sheperd Rodney
- 27:59Speaker 1: just standing there just looking out going, oh thank god,
- 28:01Speaker 1: that's over. I'm like, aren't they right there? Yeah? You
- 28:04Speaker 1: would be able to see them at least for the
- 28:06Speaker 1: next fifty meters. Well, they cut between trees, and I
- 28:08Speaker 1: don't even know whether they knew where to look at
- 28:10Speaker 1: that point, because Shepherd's looking in one spot and then
- 28:13Speaker 1: Rodney's just doing is like really concerned, like looking all
- 28:16Speaker 1: over the place, eyes darting back, and I'm like, I
- 28:17Speaker 1: feel like the shot of them running away needed to
- 28:20Speaker 1: last at least another second or two off, like where
- 28:23Speaker 1: you didn't see them at all, Like it was just
- 28:24Speaker 1: a still shot on the bloke who got sworn by
- 28:27Speaker 1: the drones, because I feel like it looked like they
- 28:29Speaker 1: were running in the direction they're all facing sort of
- 28:32Speaker 1: you know, camera left or screen left, no, sorry right,
- 28:35Speaker 1: they were looking to the right. Our heroes are looking
- 28:39Speaker 1: to the left, so they're looking at each other. And
- 28:41Speaker 1: then when the Jani warriors leave, they run like to
- 28:45Speaker 1: the bottom right of the screen. So me the way
- 28:48Speaker 1: that editing works, the way that sort of shot works,
- 28:51Speaker 1: they're running toward our guys, and then our guys are
- 28:53Speaker 1: looking out like they've run away five minutes ago, and
- 28:55Speaker 1: they're just sort of on you know, a perimeter control.
- 28:58Speaker 1: So just weird, little em it's here and there, and
- 29:01Speaker 1: yeah again it's it's it's ancient technolog Okay, of course
- 29:03Speaker 1: it is, because you've got the gene that's gonna work
- 29:06Speaker 1: with the with the necklace and stuff. It was just
- 29:09Speaker 1: like just throwing ship at the at the script and
- 29:12Speaker 1: being like, yeah, just miss you know, just make all
- 29:14Speaker 1: that together, like AI back in the day, I want
- 29:17Speaker 1: a Juni in it. I want a coup made by
- 29:23Speaker 1: an eventful sister against a younger one's gonna be a queen.
- 29:26Speaker 1: What's an ancient technology? Please? Also to be said on
- 29:30Speaker 1: a forest moon of endor like that's right, Like just
- 29:33Speaker 1: throwing it in, come up with a script and we
- 29:35Speaker 1: get this episode.
- 29:36Speaker 2: Well that's classic. That's classic Martin Gearra for you, because
- 29:40Speaker 2: and I gave him some ship a couple of weeks
- 29:42Speaker 2: ago when I remember I played the audio where he
- 29:44Speaker 2: was shitting on like the comic book that had Martin
- 29:48Speaker 2: Wood on the front of it, because it was a
- 29:50Speaker 2: reuse of the Avengers comic and it showed that Martain
- 29:53Speaker 2: Geary doesn't actually know the franchise that he's running for.
- 29:57Speaker 2: He also didn't know about it in this episode either.
- 29:59Speaker 3: Now, look, friends, there's a huge content continuity air in
- 30:08Speaker 3: this in this episode. Uh that you know, we vet
- 30:15Speaker 3: these scripts pretty well.
- 30:16Speaker 4: I mean we all read them, we all, but you know,
- 30:19Speaker 4: Rob and Brad were working on the movies and blah
- 30:21Speaker 4: blah blah. So we were watching I think the day
- 30:24Speaker 4: one mix of this, uh in this very room actually,
- 30:27Speaker 4: and uh it came up and Rob goes, it's drone
- 30:32Speaker 4: testing ground. But I mean they had drones before they
- 30:36Speaker 4: were they were in the Pegasus galaxy. What about the
- 30:39Speaker 4: chair and the Arctic. There's just kind of silence.
- 30:45Speaker 2: And uh.
- 30:47Speaker 3: And I go, well, ship, great, great script. No, Rob,
- 30:52Speaker 3: and uh so it's the drone.
- 30:54Speaker 4: It's the mini drone testing ground, and that they abandoned
- 30:58Speaker 4: cause many drones didn't is useful, Yeah, exactly easy.
- 31:02Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 31:03Speaker 2: He also said there and I'm not one hundred percent
- 31:05Speaker 2: sury of this, but he said the chair in the Arctic.
- 31:09Speaker 2: I think he means the chair in the Anarctic. Ah.
- 31:12Speaker 1: No, it's all the same match has been ice, isn't it?
- 31:15Speaker 1: Literally the other side of the planet that had to
- 31:17Speaker 1: be That had to be a note And it's like, oh,
- 31:19Speaker 1: you mean like arguably at the time, the biggest thing
- 31:22Speaker 1: the Stargate SG one, Yeah, TV series it ever done.
- 31:25Speaker 1: Was that two part final?
- 31:26Speaker 2: It was gonna be the original movie?
- 31:28Speaker 1: Yeah, like the like that thing? Yeah, did he miss that?
- 31:31Speaker 1: You know what we needed to catch up on the
- 31:33Speaker 1: season finale of season seven?
- 31:35Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, nothing happens in that, right, How to get
- 31:38Speaker 2: back to that?
- 31:39Speaker 1: Make sure?
- 31:40Speaker 2: What's that episode called Forgotten City?
- 31:42Speaker 4: Is that?
- 31:42Speaker 2: Is that what it's called?
- 31:44Speaker 1: Jesus Christ literally.
- 31:46Speaker 2: The episode that sets up the current show that he's
- 31:49Speaker 2: exactly my God?
- 31:50Speaker 1: Yeah, how is that not part of the Bible? Bible
- 31:53Speaker 1: for this show? Don't say Bible. He'll talk to himself
- 31:58Speaker 1: as being something of God. Absolutely well, Jesus Christ.
- 32:01Speaker 2: A couple of other bits of trivia for you. The
- 32:04Speaker 2: cave that we found a better adurie in, the cave
- 32:07Speaker 2: that we found a harmony in is actually redress of
- 32:09Speaker 2: the Ark of Truth cave where the ancients were when
- 32:12Speaker 2: they were you know, leaving the the our Galaxy, the
- 32:19Speaker 2: little cold open and stuff like that. Yeah, just a
- 32:20Speaker 2: redress of redress of that.
- 32:22Speaker 1: Yeah. I sort of took note of the cave where
- 32:24Speaker 1: there was a shot sort of I think maybe the
- 32:28Speaker 1: drones come. Shepherd was outside hiding from the Jani and
- 32:31Speaker 1: then you know, we sort of start off with the princess.
- 32:35Speaker 1: Then we sort of you know, the pans over. We're
- 32:37Speaker 1: looking out the mouth of the cave and Rodney's there
- 32:39Speaker 1: as Shepherd comes back in. I'm thinking, I mean, I
- 32:43Speaker 1: mistake of my own I had thought of it being
- 32:45Speaker 1: just like a natural cave. And so when they look
- 32:47Speaker 1: out and it's like very clear cut, flat walls, flat floor,
- 32:50Speaker 1: and oh, so this is like a man made thing. Okay, yeah,
- 32:55Speaker 1: it's a facility as opposed to a man made that's
- 32:58Speaker 1: a natural thing. That's fine, that's fine, okay.
- 33:00Speaker 2: And then this one, I just want to tick you
- 33:02Speaker 2: know what with a feather and just put this on
- 33:05Speaker 2: the record, put it on the pin it on the board,
- 33:08Speaker 2: just so that we can talk about it at a
- 33:09Speaker 2: later stage.
- 33:13Speaker 3: That noise reminds me we were.
- 33:15Speaker 4: This was one of the last shows that we posted,
- 33:18Speaker 4: and I had already kind of left on vacation and
- 33:22Speaker 4: it's a lot in Hawaii and had to watch the
- 33:25Speaker 4: day one mix of this, and Paul Molly, who's our
- 33:28Speaker 4: you know, the executive pduser and showrunner with Joe, I
- 33:32Speaker 4: called him because he was also in Hawaii. I said, hey,
- 33:34Speaker 4: I got a Harvey mix, you want to come over
- 33:35Speaker 4: and day two Harmony Mix.
- 33:38Speaker 3: I want to come over and watch it. He's like, no,
- 33:40Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm gonna stay here on.
- 33:42Speaker 4: The beach with my kids. You you go ahead and
- 33:46Speaker 4: tell me how that turned out. Actually, it's pretty funny
- 33:50Speaker 4: because you know, we try it, you know, the producers
- 33:54Speaker 4: among us, we try not to go on vacation at
- 33:56Speaker 4: the same time because there's always stuff that needs to
- 33:58Speaker 4: get done. Someone's always got to be back in Vancouver
- 34:01Speaker 4: twelve months of the year. And it was Joe's turned
- 34:04Speaker 4: to kind of not go on vacation for that chunk
- 34:06Speaker 4: of time right after we wrapped, and there was.
- 34:10Speaker 3: Literally a.
- 34:12Speaker 4: Huge, huge, huge issues came up in the time that
- 34:15Speaker 4: we were gone, and you know, I don't want to
- 34:17Speaker 4: go to what but casting about production all going into
- 34:21Speaker 4: season five, there was there's a lot of there was
- 34:23Speaker 4: a lot of stuff to deal with, and it was
- 34:28Speaker 4: it was great because Joe was having kind of a
- 34:30Speaker 4: nervous breakdown trying to deal with all these things, and
- 34:32Speaker 4: he would be on the phone to uh, you know,
- 34:34Speaker 4: Paul and I are relaying information and other people and
- 34:37Speaker 4: it was driving him crazy because I think he called
- 34:39Speaker 4: Paul and.
- 34:40Speaker 3: Paul was like, oh, oh, look, oh, I see a
- 34:43Speaker 3: whale in a rainbow.
- 34:44Speaker 1: Look a whale.
- 34:47Speaker 3: And Joe's like, yeah, great, listen, why don't you call
- 34:50Speaker 3: me back? And Paul's like, sure, I'll call you back
- 34:52Speaker 3: in like a week. If you could just deal with
- 34:54Speaker 3: all that, that'd be awesome.
- 34:56Speaker 2: So yeah, big, big issues for what did I think
- 34:58Speaker 2: costing and production leaning into season five?
- 35:01Speaker 1: Okay, all right, just a little pin in that, guys.
- 35:06Speaker 1: I'm glad I didn't feel like I got all the
- 35:08Speaker 1: context around because I'm like, what I what have I mean? Okay,
- 35:12Speaker 1: You've got you covered. When I say you, I mean me,
- 35:14Speaker 1: I am to see you. Well, I think I've just
- 35:19Speaker 1: covered all the extensive notes that I had about this
- 35:21Speaker 1: About this episode, I.
- 35:22Speaker 2: Had two notes. I had a note that said g
- 35:24Speaker 2: McKay got over Katie quick, and then I had a
- 35:26Speaker 2: note that said star Trek, Star Trek, Star Trek. And
- 35:30Speaker 2: then the rest is just all audio grabs. So I've
- 35:31Speaker 2: got one more audio.
- 35:32Speaker 1: Grab if I can get that out of the way.
- 35:35Speaker 1: What do we got?
- 35:35Speaker 2: All right, just play the last one.
- 35:37Speaker 3: This is a gorgeous shot. We we shot it. This
- 35:39Speaker 3: is Wigan.
- 35:41Speaker 4: No, this is where's that place? It's where the hell
- 35:44Speaker 4: it's an hour and a half. It's out of what
- 35:46Speaker 4: they call the zone.
- 35:47Speaker 3: Right, you have a zone.
- 35:48Speaker 4: You draw a circle around your studio basically, and every
- 35:51Speaker 4: time you're outside of that, you have to pay the
- 35:53Speaker 4: actors more because the travel time is so immense, So
- 35:56Speaker 4: you have to put up the actors and some of
- 35:58Speaker 4: the crew out in the middle of nowhere.
- 35:59Speaker 3: But it you to get these amazing shots.
- 36:02Speaker 1: Otherwise that otherwise known as Maddie the Tony Gilroy rule.
- 36:09Speaker 2: Yeah, God damn it. That's turn your microphone off.
- 36:13Speaker 1: That's it. That's episode two hundred and eighty four of
- 36:18Speaker 1: Stargates Atlantis, the excellent episode. I almost could guarantee where
- 36:24Speaker 1: that's going to find itself at our seasonal rank at
- 36:27Speaker 1: the end of season four. That's harmony. We will be
- 36:29Speaker 1: back next week to talk about outcasts. Whatever that is.
- 36:33Speaker 1: Will be back because that's what we do. That's how
- 36:35Speaker 1: podcast runs. We're doing it today, we did it yesterday,
- 36:38Speaker 1: We'll be doing it again tomorrow.
- 36:40Speaker 2: I can't even influence your thoughts because I have no
- 36:44Speaker 2: memory of what outcast.
- 36:48Speaker 1: I have no idea coming in the water's warm.
- 36:50Speaker 2: Couldn't even pretend to give you some kind of inkling
- 36:54Speaker 2: as to what this episode is.
- 36:55Speaker 1: Couldn't even pretend you can't give me like a main character.
- 37:00Speaker 2: The guy that sings, hey, I have no idea, like
- 37:02Speaker 2: no idea.
- 37:03Speaker 1: It is where a say not okay if that
- 37:07Speaker 4: Get into Gate, Get into Gate, Stargate podcast, Get into
