Transcript
- 0:25Speaker 1: Yet in two Gate episode two hundred and seventy, talking
- 0:29Speaker 1: about Stargates, Well, I mean, what is it, Maddie, it's
- 0:33Speaker 1: not even SG I mean it is kind of SG
- 0:35Speaker 1: one but Stargate.
- 0:36Speaker 2: But it's not STU.
- 0:37Speaker 3: It's just Arc of Truth, Stargate a movie, not the
- 0:40Speaker 3: movie movie. Yeah, it felt weird actual.
- 0:42Speaker 1: I mean, we'll get into it, but you know, we
- 0:43Speaker 1: are talking about Stargate SG one adjacent the first of
- 0:47Speaker 1: a planned bunch of follow up movies that you know
- 0:50Speaker 1: only lasted two. But we are talking Stargate, Arc of
- 0:56Speaker 1: Truth or the Arc of True, Arch of Truth. Let
- 0:59Speaker 1: me do that again, Argate, the Arc of Truth. I'm
- 1:02Speaker 1: not cutting that out obviously. My name is Mitch. That's Maddie.
- 1:05Speaker 1: You can tell the wheels are absolutely falling off now
- 1:08Speaker 1: that Brendan has.
- 1:09Speaker 3: Has as I would I wouldn't say part of ways.
- 1:12Speaker 3: He hasn't part of ways. He's just you know, he's
- 1:13Speaker 3: taken it, taken a step back.
- 1:15Speaker 2: Like we're just a motivike. We were a motibike with
- 1:17Speaker 2: a sidecar on it, and now we're just a motivike.
- 1:19Speaker 3: He would love that.
- 1:19Speaker 1: Actually, because of the nineteen sixties Batman reference of.
- 1:22Speaker 2: That my head went to two fat ladies. So okay,
- 1:26Speaker 2: I don't know what I just when I think of sidecars,
- 1:27Speaker 2: I think of them.
- 1:28Speaker 3: You and you alone, buddy, No, I think.
- 1:30Speaker 2: I like that he's literally Robin when you know how
- 1:32Speaker 2: there was that cooler thing where Robin's sidecar like had
- 1:35Speaker 2: the little go cut could injected out. Yeah, yeah, that's
- 1:37Speaker 2: what Brendan's saying. He's just ejected.
- 1:38Speaker 1: That's what he's done, straight to the pub until he
- 1:41Speaker 1: is called on again, and then he'll be like Batman,
- 1:44Speaker 1: Michael Keaton, Batman returns that great gift. So we're getting sidetracking.
- 1:47Speaker 2: I have to be in the in the like of Spandex.
- 1:49Speaker 2: While he did it in the Little the Little Dts.
- 1:51Speaker 3: But he did, But how good does he look in it? Yeah?
- 1:53Speaker 1: Someone else, other people that look great in Spandex. I
- 1:56Speaker 1: can only assume. Because we weren't very ready to do
- 1:59Speaker 1: an episode just by ourselves yet, Maddie, we've called in
- 2:03Speaker 1: our correspondents, our LA.
- 2:06Speaker 2: Chapter international correspondent.
- 2:07Speaker 1: International correspondence, one returning a correspondent, and one intern correspondent
- 2:13Speaker 1: as it would be. Although she has had many mentions
- 2:17Speaker 1: on the podcast in the past, straight out of LA
- 2:19Speaker 1: straight out. If it's Compton, let's just say, for the
- 2:21Speaker 1: sake of the argument's right out of Compton, it's Jacob
- 2:23Speaker 1: and Alla.
- 2:27Speaker 2: What's happening, guys straight out of Long Beach.
- 2:32Speaker 3: Oh Long bitch.
- 2:35Speaker 4: Represent the LBC.
- 2:37Speaker 5: You're not sniffed dog.
- 2:41Speaker 3: Yeah, you're as wide as Maddie and I like that
- 2:43Speaker 3: just doesn't it doesn't work.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Yeah, and now don't adjust your sets, everybody. That's right,
- 2:46Speaker 2: you're hearing it's not my voice. This is an actual
- 2:49Speaker 2: girl on the show for the first time.
- 2:53Speaker 5: I think I actually have a lower voice than Maddie.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Right.
- 2:57Speaker 4: The blood twist is that she's actually been here the
- 2:59Speaker 4: whole time, but since Brenda's there, she never he never
- 3:02Speaker 4: let her talk.
- 3:03Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:03Speaker 3: In fact, he's very proud of So. Yeah, this is
- 3:06Speaker 3: very weird.
- 3:07Speaker 1: Like I just said, two hundred and seventy episodes in
- 3:09Speaker 1: plus specials, we're nearing three hundred, and we've never had
- 3:13Speaker 1: a female voice outside of well.
- 3:15Speaker 2: A live female. We've had Holly from Lonnie, We've had Toasty,
- 3:19Speaker 2: We've had a few, we had the infamous Swey.
- 3:22Speaker 3: Occasionally my three year old daughter runs in. Yeah, oh, Bella,
- 3:25Speaker 3: I guess Bella. Brendan's daughter, Bella.
- 3:27Speaker 2: Bella was here.
- 3:28Speaker 1: She was here for an episode, but not in a
- 3:29Speaker 1: full episode capacity. So we thought, well, yeah, we're done
- 3:32Speaker 1: with SG one. We'll be getting back into Atlantis on
- 3:35Speaker 1: the next episode with a drift first episode of season four.
- 3:38Speaker 1: But we thought we were talking about a movie.
- 3:41Speaker 3: We want to we want to bring in a couple
- 3:42Speaker 3: of other voices to help get us.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Well, well, we've been trying to get Jacob and Ellen
- 3:45Speaker 2: on the show for a while because Ellen is a
- 3:47Speaker 2: she's a first watcher, so famously Jacob made her watch
- 3:51Speaker 2: Universe first, which we've discussed ab that was the worst
- 3:55Speaker 2: many times.
- 3:56Speaker 4: I was myself on that one, but I thought, this
- 4:01Speaker 4: is perfect. It's no, it's fine, it's kind of perfect.
- 4:05Speaker 2: It's kind of perfect because also, like you guys, we
- 4:07Speaker 2: can have you here to just like Ellen can discuss
- 4:10Speaker 2: the whole like season nine to ten as a whole,
- 4:13Speaker 2: arc Archestray, the whole sort of Ari storyline as a whole.
- 4:17Speaker 2: So it's kind of perfect timing.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Now, look, it might not be an official SG one episode.
- 4:22Speaker 1: It is a mooy Matthew, but we have got a
- 4:25Speaker 1: synopsis to get through. Thanks the dB DVD physical physical copy.
- 4:30Speaker 1: This s thrilling feature length film picks up where Stargate
- 4:33Speaker 1: SG one left off, thrusting the Stargate team Daniel Jackson,
- 4:37Speaker 1: Varla Tilk, Sam, and Cam into their most exciting adventure
- 4:42Speaker 1: yet in search of an ancient artifact they hope can
- 4:44Speaker 1: defeat the oppressive Allri. The team learns that the Alri
- 4:47Speaker 1: are set to launch a final assault on Earth.
- 4:49Speaker 3: And a double crossing operative is on board the Odyssey.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Spoiler how I mean, just out of interest with what's
- 4:57Speaker 1: available to you guys in the US of A. How
- 5:00Speaker 1: how did you watch The Arc of Truth? You're watching
- 5:03Speaker 1: it physical media? Are you able to stream it easily enough?
- 5:06Speaker 1: Had you pulled up?
- 5:07Speaker 4: Yeah, so I am it's on Prime, but it's not.
- 5:10Speaker 4: It's not like a free Prime video. So I had
- 5:12Speaker 4: to buy it a while ago.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Right, Okay, yeah, yeah, we got that MGM wall as well.
- 5:17Speaker 1: That's right, and I'm not doing that, and so I
- 5:19Speaker 1: actually had to Yeah, then fish out the old DVD,
- 5:22Speaker 1: which was fantastic, but with the remote and it's like
- 5:25Speaker 1: play play movie or play movie with prelude, and I'm like,
- 5:28Speaker 1: not on this physical media, and I'm like, you know what,
- 5:30Speaker 1: I will play the prelude and then I realized it
- 5:31Speaker 1: was like ten minutes. I'm like, I don't have enough
- 5:34Speaker 1: time to watch this movie, let alone ten minutes of recapping.
- 5:37Speaker 1: But I thought, we've taken, you know, the last couple
- 5:40Speaker 1: of years to watch seasons nine and ten of SG one.
- 5:44Speaker 3: I think I'm going to need that.
- 5:46Speaker 1: And I just I think it made the Arc of
- 5:48Speaker 1: Truth feel that little bit more epic.
- 5:51Speaker 3: I think, with like, hey, here's all this back. God forbid.
- 5:53Speaker 1: If you're an absolute newbie, even more so than you Ellen,
- 5:56Speaker 1: who just was in like a store one day saw
- 5:58Speaker 1: Stargate the Arc of Truth for you know, six bucks
- 6:01Speaker 1: or something in a bargain bin and went.
- 6:03Speaker 3: I'll give that a whirl.
- 6:04Speaker 1: And then you pull up the prelude ten minutes, which
- 6:07Speaker 1: recaps season nine and ten of a show you've never watched.
- 6:10Speaker 2: As if you were someone who thought that Arch of
- 6:11Speaker 2: Truth was a sequel to the original Stargate film, and
- 6:14Speaker 2: I've seen the first one. I'll put it in this
- 6:15Speaker 2: arc of Truason.
- 6:16Speaker 1: Yeah, what if I missed two hundred hours of content? Okay, great,
- 6:20Speaker 1: So yeah, it's I think just the two I mean,
- 6:23Speaker 1: we're jumping straight in it.
- 6:24Speaker 3: But as much as I want to shit. Can Robert C.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Cooper the two and a half sort of minutes of
- 6:30Speaker 1: establishing shots, you know, going through the misty mountains and things.
- 6:34Speaker 2: So they can get the credits out of the way.
- 6:35Speaker 3: So then get the credits out of the way.
- 6:36Speaker 1: But I mean that you do that, and it just
- 6:38Speaker 1: it does feel a little bit more cinematic, and so
- 6:41Speaker 1: I like that separation and even you know a lot
- 6:44Speaker 1: is it really actually a film? I forget how long
- 6:46Speaker 1: this goes for, and you know it's an hour and
- 6:48Speaker 1: hour and a half.
- 6:48Speaker 3: Yeah, and I thought that two episodes.
- 6:51Speaker 2: Did you guys get the prelude option where how you
- 6:54Speaker 2: watched it.
- 6:55Speaker 3: Or no physical media rains again?
- 6:58Speaker 2: Actually Ellen and Jacob did, Actually they I think it
- 7:01Speaker 2: was it was a video or they like facetimed me
- 7:03Speaker 2: or whatever. One time they were in like a second
- 7:05Speaker 2: hand bookstore or something like that and they just found
- 7:07Speaker 2: all these Atlantis n SG one box sets there for.
- 7:12Speaker 5: Wait, but back then that's when Jacob would like hide him,
- 7:15Speaker 5: be like don't look at it because they changed like.
- 7:18Speaker 4: O'Neil's gone course, yeah, literally covered up season six so
- 7:23Speaker 4: she couldn't see it.
- 7:24Speaker 5: But you know, here's the issue with him having me
- 7:26Speaker 5: watch Universe first, is like I remembered O'Neil and Carter,
- 7:30Speaker 5: and I'm like, okay, well they're fine. They're not gonna
- 7:31Speaker 5: die in the show. Then, because we see him in
- 7:33Speaker 5: univer remember Daniel, No, I remember Daniel, but remember the
- 7:36Speaker 5: other two.
- 7:37Speaker 1: Yeah, well I still haven't seen Universe at all. I'll
- 7:39Speaker 1: be watching that in chronological order, release order. Sorry for
- 7:42Speaker 1: the show. So you are blowing my mind. Now you're
- 7:44Speaker 1: saying things that I don't understand, but I'm going to
- 7:46Speaker 1: get there eventually.
- 7:48Speaker 3: Eventually.
- 7:49Speaker 2: They just don't just just don't tell me about the Hammond.
- 7:52Speaker 2: Don't tell me about Hammond coming back.
- 7:54Speaker 3: Don't tease me. Don't tease me.
- 7:58Speaker 1: So what do we I mean, we spoke of and
- 8:01Speaker 1: you wrote us in that wrote us in an audio
- 8:03Speaker 1: message that makes no sense. But when when you sent
- 8:05Speaker 1: us in some mail bag a couple of episodes ago,
- 8:08Speaker 1: Jacob about what's the dominion? Right, that's the penultimate, penultimate
- 8:11Speaker 1: episode and that you said, oh, that could have been
- 8:14Speaker 1: the season finale as far as the way that it
- 8:16Speaker 1: wraps up, well, the shows SG one's version of the he.
- 8:22Speaker 2: That was Ellen, he credited Ellen, that that was Ellen's
- 8:24Speaker 2: that that was your idea?
- 8:25Speaker 3: Well you can remember.
- 8:27Speaker 5: Sorry, I just definitely thought they should have switch.
- 8:30Speaker 3: I don't hate it now.
- 8:31Speaker 1: I apologize that I'm not even remembering a podcast that
- 8:34Speaker 1: I not only was a part of that I edited,
- 8:36Speaker 1: and I still forget it.
- 8:37Speaker 3: I just saw that.
- 8:37Speaker 2: I just show saw the look that l shot Jacob
- 8:40Speaker 2: when you said that, and she was like, did you
- 8:42Speaker 2: steal my idea?
- 8:43Speaker 3: It was full credit. It was full.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Creditor, absolutely, Ellen, But like, yeah, we we sort of
- 8:47Speaker 1: we sit there and think about the way that Unending
- 8:51Speaker 1: played out, and there was some all right stuff there obviously,
- 8:54Speaker 1: but it had kind of been wrapped up enough that
- 8:56Speaker 1: if they never brought it up again, you'd be like, well,
- 8:58Speaker 1: I guess you know, we can't found out that they died, right,
- 9:01Speaker 1: so they not as much of a threat anymore. End
- 9:04Speaker 1: of story, end of series, We're done. And then you
- 9:07Speaker 1: pick this up and it's like, oh no, it's still
- 9:09Speaker 1: very much a thing that's happening, and we need to
- 9:11Speaker 1: find this weapon that's going to destroy them, and it's
- 9:13Speaker 1: like it feels like, oh, yeah, that was a cancelation.
- 9:16Speaker 1: It wasn't a natural end. The way that I think
- 9:19Speaker 1: I take from Unending a little bit more. I watch
- 9:22Speaker 1: Unending and I go, yeah, that feels like the natural rap.
- 9:25Speaker 1: But also I've got such fond memories of that episode
- 9:27Speaker 1: that I don't ever think about SG one as its
- 9:30Speaker 1: own ten season series, being anticlimactic and not getting its
- 9:34Speaker 1: own resolution. And then you get this movie that's like,
- 9:37Speaker 1: oh no, there's there's, there's there's there's more ice cream
- 9:39Speaker 1: at the end of this, you know, you get a
- 9:41Speaker 1: little bit more.
- 9:41Speaker 4: So I disagree, man, I don't know. To me, Unending
- 9:46Speaker 4: just feels like so small in a way. Yeah, it's
- 9:50Speaker 4: like all the series like it's it has this momentum
- 9:54Speaker 4: and then all it is is just one fight that
- 9:56Speaker 4: didn't actually end the storyline. Yeah, And for me, actual
- 10:00Speaker 4: I didn't know that arc of truth and continue when
- 10:02Speaker 4: We're a thing when I first watched the show. So
- 10:05Speaker 4: for me, I thought that was the last of the
- 10:08Speaker 4: story I'd ever see, and it's just like, wait, there's
- 10:11Speaker 4: so much more I want to know. And it did,
- 10:13Speaker 4: in a way feel very small and and not like
- 10:18Speaker 4: a proper end, And so that's why it hit me
- 10:21Speaker 4: so hard that oh yeah, if Dominion was the ending,
- 10:23Speaker 4: then it would be like, there's this wonder of what's
- 10:26Speaker 4: Adria going to do? You know, Yeah, because now that.
- 10:30Speaker 2: She's a sender, there's also the stumble I think. I mean,
- 10:34Speaker 2: Dominion didn't have a lot of Stargate the actual physical
- 10:38Speaker 2: gait in it, but it did still have you know,
- 10:41Speaker 2: Valas sneaking away, you know, with her memory being screwed
- 10:44Speaker 2: up and the Sodain cloak and all that kind of stuff,
- 10:47Speaker 2: Whereas I think one of the issues that both Unending
- 10:50Speaker 2: and Ark of Truth has is there's not really a
- 10:53Speaker 2: stargate in it. The Stargate is not really in either
- 10:56Speaker 2: of these episodes in a show called Stargate. I think
- 10:59Speaker 2: with Ark of Truth they did try and you know,
- 11:04Speaker 2: shift that and made a big meal out of us
- 11:07Speaker 2: dialing the Supergate and the Odyssey going through the super
- 11:10Speaker 2: Gate to the or Eye Galaxy, but it didn't have
- 11:13Speaker 2: the same Even though they even did the little like
- 11:16Speaker 2: the the the d what do you call it, demolecializing
- 11:20Speaker 2: and stuff like that, which we haven't seen in forever,
- 11:23Speaker 2: it still didn't have as much wonder and awe as
- 11:27Speaker 2: like the first time you see people step through the
- 11:29Speaker 2: Stargate and that kind of thing. Yeah, So I think, yeah,
- 11:32Speaker 2: for a show called starget like there's a there's a
- 11:33Speaker 2: moment in this episode after the the Odyssey, it comes
- 11:39Speaker 2: out of hyperspace, cloaks and then beams down to a
- 11:43Speaker 2: planet and they're calling that stupid I away guy, mister Marrick,
- 11:47Speaker 2: and I'm like, I'm watching Star Trek. I'm sorry, I'm
- 11:50Speaker 2: watching I'm watching Star Trek. Except for the fact that
- 11:52Speaker 2: in Star Trek you can't really be uh oh no,
- 11:54Speaker 2: you can't be No, you can't beam out while you're cloaked.
- 11:57Speaker 2: I don't know. But anyway, Yeah, it's it was a lot,
- 12:01Speaker 2: there was a lot of treking. This in a show
- 12:03Speaker 2: that you know is that is really, in a lot
- 12:05Speaker 2: of ways of the antithesis of Trek. I feel like
- 12:08Speaker 2: a lot of these later seasons it's a little too
- 12:10Speaker 2: a little too tricky, and it's not.
- 12:11Speaker 4: The antithesis of Track. It's the happy medium between Star
- 12:14Speaker 4: Trek and Star Wars.
- 12:17Speaker 2: I mean, I feel like that's Mitch's brain I think
- 12:20Speaker 2: is about to be overload processing no, because he's in
- 12:22Speaker 2: his brain's going there's another like hour long podcast. It's
- 12:26Speaker 2: a conversation that we need to have. Just on that statement,
- 12:28Speaker 2: We'll just.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Give Maddie and myself one of these, you know, just
- 12:31Speaker 1: just to say things. But no, it's funny actually cause
- 12:33Speaker 1: I'm driving my kids that are that are sitting outside
- 12:36Speaker 1: hopefully and behaving themselves while we record this. But we
- 12:39Speaker 1: were just watching some some Stargate and some Atlantis, which
- 12:43Speaker 1: you know we're talking about on next week's episode, and
- 12:47Speaker 1: you know, he presses pause and like, stop pausing it,
- 12:50Speaker 1: just watch it. And he said, so is this like,
- 12:53Speaker 1: you know, is this like star What's what is Star Trek?
- 12:55Speaker 1: And then I was like having to go, well, you
- 12:56Speaker 1: know Star Wars quite well, they've never seen any Stargate
- 13:00Speaker 1: because I want to make them watch it from the beginning,
- 13:02Speaker 1: and they've definitely never seen any Star Trek.
- 13:05Speaker 3: Probably much the same.
- 13:05Speaker 2: Reason and Uncle Matt's way uncle asking questions about what is.
- 13:09Speaker 1: But also when you consider that there's like nearly one
- 13:11Speaker 1: thousand episodes worth of you know, Star Trek out there.
- 13:15Speaker 2: I'll filter out all the ship for that and I'll
- 13:16Speaker 2: just I'll just give him the purests approach.
- 13:18Speaker 3: It'll still be in double digits. You won't even want Yeah, yeah,
- 13:21Speaker 3: of good stuff.
- 13:21Speaker 2: I think it was a Damio Edwards. I think once
- 13:23Speaker 2: tried to ask me he's liked, give me, give me
- 13:24Speaker 2: the top top one hundred episodes of Star Trek, and
- 13:26Speaker 2: I had to given list without one hundred and seventy
- 13:28Speaker 2: something that was as tight as I.
- 13:29Speaker 3: Could get, and I had to try and explain to them.
- 13:32Speaker 1: Yeah, like you know, with Star Wars, like we can
- 13:35Speaker 1: look about it, you know, being said a long time ago,
- 13:37Speaker 1: but it doesn't really matter. It's such fantasy and it's set. No,
- 13:40Speaker 1: it's not Earth, they're not humans, blah blah blah. So
- 13:42Speaker 1: whereas you know, Stargate is now and Star Trek is
- 13:46Speaker 1: in the future, and you know, filled in some other things,
- 13:49Speaker 1: I said, so, yeah, Stargate between the three Stargate is
- 13:52Speaker 1: very much more like Star Trek on that very you know,
- 13:55Speaker 1: basic way of looking at it.
- 13:57Speaker 2: Although although the opener for this was very was very
- 14:00Speaker 2: Star Wars. It was like it was like if they
- 14:02Speaker 2: got Ai to write the opening crawl for Star Wars
- 14:04Speaker 2: the way the way Archive Troops opened with the thing
- 14:07Speaker 2: on the on the screen saying millions of years ago
- 14:09Speaker 2: in a distant galaxy. Come on, Cooper, geez.
- 14:18Speaker 4: Yeah, it couldn't help it more specific than a long
- 14:20Speaker 4: time ago, millions.
- 14:21Speaker 2: Of years ago. Yes, you may as well have just
- 14:23Speaker 2: said a long, long time ago in a galaxy far
- 14:25Speaker 2: far away.
- 14:27Speaker 1: And I know we talk about what happened millions of
- 14:30Speaker 1: years ago a lot with this show with regard to
- 14:32Speaker 1: the ancients and things, But to do that and then
- 14:35Speaker 1: immediately they're panning down and we're seeing the same medieval
- 14:38Speaker 1: village that today, I'm like, so.
- 14:40Speaker 5: Really, thank you, Okay, nowhere Jacob gets all my ass
- 14:47Speaker 5: about this so much, but I literally have it in my.
- 14:55Speaker 4: Notes.
- 14:55Speaker 5: Thank you. Mitch is my favorite human.
- 14:57Speaker 4: Now.
- 14:58Speaker 5: They use the same in set for everything, and I
- 15:02Speaker 5: get that it's like whatever, like the planets, but they
- 15:04Speaker 5: like it's so annoying. Yeah, it's like every single time
- 15:08Speaker 5: they've panned out. I think the only time I think
- 15:11Speaker 5: they lost that diversity in season one, honestly, with like
- 15:15Speaker 5: trying to make planets look different, but that same set
- 15:18Speaker 5: it comes up every time, and Jacob I feel like
- 15:20Speaker 5: it's just waiting for me to be like, oh my god,
- 15:22Speaker 5: this is so annoying. It's the same, like, yeah, like
- 15:25Speaker 5: I brought.
- 15:26Speaker 4: It from a Bingo card of when she watches Starget,
- 15:28Speaker 4: it's like, okay, they're speak English, Okay, it's the same
- 15:32Speaker 4: medieval set.
- 15:33Speaker 2: Oh, Ellen, Ellen, yes is the ending by the twenty
- 15:36Speaker 2: seven minute mark, and she knows exactly.
- 15:38Speaker 4: That's a free space. I don't think he does. Sorry,
- 15:44Speaker 4: which does Mitch know about how She's like she has
- 15:49Speaker 4: premonitions of like how the show will end.
- 15:52Speaker 2: I've told you that. I mean, basically, Ellen can just
- 15:54Speaker 2: like any kind of movie and especially Star Gate. By
- 15:56Speaker 2: the half white point, she goes, well, this is gonna happen,
- 15:58Speaker 2: this is gonna happen, and this is gonna happen.
- 15:59Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got one of them too, Jacob a partner
- 16:03Speaker 1: that is good at that and makes me feeling out
- 16:06Speaker 1: of it because I'm like, really, the first time I
- 16:07Speaker 1: watched this, I didn't get that until it happened, and
- 16:09Speaker 1: even then.
- 16:10Speaker 3: I was still question.
- 16:11Speaker 1: We started watching a brand new show the other night
- 16:12Speaker 1: in four minutes and she's like, well, he's the bad guy.
- 16:15Speaker 3: I'm like, well, he looks like it's sure.
- 16:17Speaker 1: But and then before the end of the first episode
- 16:19Speaker 1: they revealed by the way, this is the bad guy,
- 16:20Speaker 1: and I'm.
- 16:21Speaker 3: Like, did you have to ruin it?
- 16:22Speaker 4: Did you have to do that?
- 16:23Speaker 3: At least you've seen it.
- 16:25Speaker 2: Yeah, I think now we know what Jake can be getting.
- 16:27Speaker 2: Ellen fir Christmas, and it will be just this beautiful
- 16:29Speaker 2: writing set of these beautiful sheets of paper and beautiful envelopes,
- 16:33Speaker 2: so they can just have on the on the coffee
- 16:35Speaker 2: table and every time they're going to sit down to
- 16:36Speaker 2: watch something, she can write all that stuff, put it down,
- 16:39Speaker 2: she can seal it with a wax stamp and all
- 16:41Speaker 2: that kind of stuff, and just had this. That's what
- 16:43Speaker 2: I did to Mitch when we did that whole thing
- 16:45Speaker 2: about Darth Maul and Star Wars and that kind of stuff.
- 16:48Speaker 2: I put it all in an envelope and gave it
- 16:50Speaker 2: to him, And yeah, it's the way to do it.
- 16:53Speaker 3: I love though, with.
- 16:55Speaker 1: The reused sets and all that sort of stuff. Is
- 16:57Speaker 1: that Maddie and I a couple of weeks ago and
- 16:59Speaker 1: he laughing at everyone get into geeks talking about Star
- 17:01Speaker 1: Wars that there were those complaints by he who shall
- 17:05Speaker 1: not be named when and Or was out, and Matdie's
- 17:08Speaker 1: had his own problems with the end Or, but it
- 17:09Speaker 1: wasn't the fact that there were buildings that were made
- 17:12Speaker 1: out of you.
- 17:13Speaker 3: Know, bricks, right, or you know brickish type pieces.
- 17:18Speaker 1: And then I think about Stargate and it's like, not
- 17:22Speaker 1: only do I think they use the exact same bricks
- 17:24Speaker 1: on several different planets. Because they're literally just picking up
- 17:27Speaker 1: a wall and reshaping it. You get the same extras
- 17:29Speaker 1: wearing the same costume. And I swear I've seen that
- 17:32Speaker 1: same bloke sweeping the main street on every single goddamn
- 17:35Speaker 1: planet now over the span of millions of years.
- 17:38Speaker 4: That's because I'm literally a background actor. Okay, that's one
- 17:42Speaker 4: of the things I do. And it's like, so they
- 17:44Speaker 4: would ask you, Hey, have you ever been on the
- 17:46Speaker 4: show before?
- 17:47Speaker 2: And you say not, Yeah, why And if you want
- 17:51Speaker 2: to see the back of Jacob's head? Watched the pilot
- 17:54Speaker 2: episode of Doctor Odyssey now on Disney Plus. He's doing
- 17:56Speaker 2: the one and only Joshua Jackson I had to see
- 17:59Speaker 2: because of the age difference. Had to explain to them
- 18:00Speaker 2: who Pacey and Dawson's creek was. They didn't know. They
- 18:03Speaker 2: didn't understand any.
- 18:04Speaker 3: Of what about Charlie Conway from The Mighty.
- 18:06Speaker 2: Ducks, no, even even cruel intentions they weren't even really so.
- 18:12Speaker 2: But yeah, if you want to see the back of
- 18:13Speaker 2: Jacob's head in that, keep an.
- 18:15Speaker 5: Eye for it, or his face in all American.
- 18:21Speaker 2: Where where can we watch that?
- 18:23Speaker 5: Netflix?
- 18:28Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 18:29Speaker 3: I want to say that.
- 18:32Speaker 1: I want to say that's a that's a stand special
- 18:33Speaker 1: over here. Let me just do a little live check, Holly,
- 18:35Speaker 1: I'm doing a live check here, but as far while
- 18:39Speaker 1: while I do, uh oh, this is going to come
- 18:41Speaker 1: up very quick. It's on stand guys. Yeah, you're very welcome.
- 18:47Speaker 1: So I guess did it feel natural then, especially with you, Jacob,
- 18:51Speaker 1: if it didn't feel like a proper ending, and I
- 18:54Speaker 1: I agree with you. As much as I love unending,
- 18:56Speaker 1: I think I love it just as a character thing.
- 18:58Speaker 1: If you look at it as the end of a story,
- 19:01Speaker 1: it's definitely not that. So in that does it feel
- 19:04Speaker 1: natural then? Way this story picks up is certainly in
- 19:07Speaker 1: modern times on Dakara. Does it feel like the natural
- 19:11Speaker 1: next step or in this case, the next episode or
- 19:13Speaker 1: the next two episodes to finally.
- 19:14Speaker 3: Wrap up the arc of Truth?
- 19:16Speaker 2: For you?
- 19:16Speaker 1: Did it feel like you were just rejoining the show
- 19:19Speaker 1: for the next season. It didn't feel like there was
- 19:21Speaker 1: too big of a jump or anything.
- 19:23Speaker 4: Yeah? Literally, Because when I watched Dark of Truth for
- 19:25Speaker 4: the first time, I still remember it. It'd been a
- 19:27Speaker 4: while since I watched the show, but as soon as
- 19:30Speaker 4: I started Ark of Truth and they did the opening
- 19:32Speaker 4: thing and then and then bang we're on to Kara
- 19:35Speaker 4: and it's Daniel digging in the dirt and I'm like,
- 19:38Speaker 4: oh shit, we're back, you know. I just I loved
- 19:43Speaker 4: that and it brought me back into it. And so yeah,
- 19:47Speaker 4: I really liked that. And and just watching pointing out
- 19:51Speaker 4: Christopher Judges an actor, he made some interesting choices. He's
- 19:54Speaker 4: very subtle, but his subtle things of he's very smug
- 19:58Speaker 4: in a way in this in this movie where he's
- 20:01Speaker 4: like he knows what they did in an ending, he's
- 20:05Speaker 4: never gonna tell him. And so if you watch it
- 20:08Speaker 4: thinking about that, then it adds so much more because
- 20:11Speaker 4: he's like, oh, I'm never gonna tell I'm never gonna
- 20:14Speaker 4: tell you.
- 20:14Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 20:15Speaker 4: But like it's the same old goodness between Daniel and
- 20:19Speaker 4: Valla and Mitchell and Sam. It's just it brought me back,
- 20:23Speaker 4: but there's this new element because.
- 20:25Speaker 2: Of Vala did have one of my probably top three
- 20:28Speaker 2: lines of the entire movie in that scene. And it's
- 20:31Speaker 2: a piece of audio that I wish we were able
- 20:33Speaker 2: to use on the podcast since like season one, because
- 20:35Speaker 2: I feel like it really would have come in handy
- 20:37Speaker 2: to me at certain times. Yah, I love it.
- 20:42Speaker 3: I mean we can put it on. We can put
- 20:43Speaker 3: it on the soundbites now.
- 20:44Speaker 2: I mean you know I'm gonna need it for season
- 20:46Speaker 2: four and five of Atlanta's absolutely.
- 20:49Speaker 1: For every time we did one of these. You want
- 20:52Speaker 1: Vala discribed. Yeah, okay, good, okay, good to.
- 20:56Speaker 2: Know already tell anyone already time anyone brings out the
- 21:00Speaker 2: point of origin argument that Brennan and I would have,
- 21:04Speaker 2: or the Zeta or those.
- 21:07Speaker 4: Other things, alternate timeline, all that.
- 21:11Speaker 2: Kind of stuff, I just need a Oh hang on, sorry,
- 21:14Speaker 2: you need a.
- 21:17Speaker 3: That's what maybe? Yeah, you look like crap.
- 21:22Speaker 1: Well I like that when you said the choices and
- 21:24Speaker 1: how subtlely is like Tilka has been subtle for ten years.
- 21:27Speaker 1: But at that in that first stage where you know,
- 21:29Speaker 1: Daniel gets up, He's like, hey, I can complain to it, right,
- 21:33Speaker 1: but I'm going to do the work. I haven't showered
- 21:34Speaker 1: in Dazed ship.
- 21:35Speaker 3: Yeah, I can tell.
- 21:36Speaker 1: And then as it's sort of like you're following Valor
- 21:38Speaker 1: toward Daniel because you're following there, you're following their sort
- 21:43Speaker 1: of interaction, but Tilka is just off to the left
- 21:46Speaker 1: of screen and you're seeing there and he's got his
- 21:48Speaker 1: arms behind his back and he just sort of like,
- 21:50Speaker 1: you know, pokes his chin down a little bit, as
- 21:52Speaker 1: if he's sniffing his own armpits to go. And again
- 21:55Speaker 1: you're not looking at that. And maybe that's just one
- 21:57Speaker 1: of Robert T. Cooper's brilliant shots where some people in
- 22:00Speaker 1: the background and some people are in the foreground.
- 22:02Speaker 2: I don't know, we'll get will we'll get that?
- 22:05Speaker 1: When I saw that credit card written and directed by
- 22:07Speaker 1: robertsy Cooper, and I thought, I know Maddi loves getting
- 22:09Speaker 1: into his director's commentaries.
- 22:11Speaker 3: There's probably going to be a rough a slew.
- 22:14Speaker 4: An audio commentary.
- 22:15Speaker 2: Uh huh. It was Rob Robert C. Cooper, one of
- 22:19Speaker 2: the guys who sucks up Robertsie Cooper's ass all the time.
- 22:22Speaker 2: And Christopher Judge, who barely got to get a word.
- 22:25Speaker 3: In no doubt.
- 22:27Speaker 1: Well you talk about tilk and like that. He knows
- 22:29Speaker 1: what they did for the last eighty years.
- 22:32Speaker 3: So what was what would it end up being in
- 22:34Speaker 3: the end? Sorry, I don't know.
- 22:35Speaker 2: They never gave a number in fifty or whatever. Yeah,
- 22:39Speaker 2: I don't think they've actually gave a number in the show.
- 22:41Speaker 2: Was kind of like in the in the script it
- 22:44Speaker 2: was maybe like, oh, you know, they fast forwarded to
- 22:46Speaker 2: twenty years later, fifty years later, seventy years later or
- 22:48Speaker 2: something like that. But I don't know that it was.
- 22:50Speaker 4: An issue because of the age makeup.
- 22:53Speaker 2: Yes, so I don't think an actual number was ever given.
- 22:56Speaker 2: They just said, you've lost as many years as we have.
- 22:58Speaker 2: When til volunteer to be the one to make the sacrifice,
- 23:02Speaker 2: they said, you've lost as many years as we have. Yeah,
- 23:04Speaker 2: we're even looking around that they do his makeup like
- 23:06Speaker 2: that the peer It was just so, yeah.
- 23:10Speaker 5: That was pretty bad.
- 23:11Speaker 4: Yeah, but you look so doctor Strange could run.
- 23:15Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're thinking about all the years that he
- 23:19Speaker 1: lost making that sacrifice. And then he gets his ass
- 23:23Speaker 1: whooped in this movie, like it wasn't enough that he
- 23:26Speaker 1: got shot and like badly enough that even for Tilk
- 23:30Speaker 1: he was down for like what hours until nightfall, And
- 23:34Speaker 1: then he gets up and he uses a weapon of
- 23:37Speaker 1: the a I soldiers as a crutch and just walks
- 23:40Speaker 1: his way and like fully like Middle Earth's his weight
- 23:43Speaker 1: across whatever millions of year old planet that is, and
- 23:46Speaker 1: then gets right before that giant all ride, you know,
- 23:49Speaker 1: Temple of Fire situation, and then collapses.
- 23:52Speaker 3: And I was like, man, how much shit this guy?
- 23:54Speaker 1: Like, he just gets punished And we sit there and
- 23:58Speaker 1: I was listening to our it was what last week's podcast,
- 24:01Speaker 1: I think, or whatever it was, and we're just laughing
- 24:03Speaker 1: at the idea that like Tilk, the you said, oh,
- 24:06Speaker 1: your favorite Tilk episode is the one that he's not
- 24:08Speaker 1: actually in, because it's almost like they don't know how
- 24:10Speaker 1: to write him, so they don't ever write him as
- 24:12Speaker 1: a main character very well. And I think probably the
- 24:15Speaker 1: best ones have been when Christopher Judge has written them,
- 24:18Speaker 1: because he plays the character and he knows the character.
- 24:20Speaker 2: He said as much in the audio commentatory.
- 24:22Speaker 1: Yeah, I bet he did, and he would be right.
- 24:24Speaker 1: But it's like whenever people they don't know how to
- 24:25Speaker 1: write him, but when they do write him, they kick
- 24:27Speaker 1: the shit out of him. And I'm like, man, Tilk's
- 24:29Speaker 1: been through enough.
- 24:30Speaker 3: He doesn't even need to be here anymore. He's doing
- 24:32Speaker 3: it for us.
- 24:33Speaker 2: He should be off with his own to his credit,
- 24:35Speaker 2: like yeah, because I feel like in this instead of
- 24:37Speaker 2: writing him a good story, they just kind of wrote
- 24:39Speaker 2: in to remind us just how strong and tough he is.
- 24:43Speaker 2: The fact that literally no one else could have done
- 24:46Speaker 2: what Tilk did yeah, in traveling that far while injured
- 24:50Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff, And like the I
- 24:54Speaker 2: did enjoy the Jigsaw puzzle piece at the end, like
- 24:56Speaker 2: of when the actual ark is opened, when it's like, well,
- 25:00Speaker 2: he needed the weapon and he was the only one
- 25:02Speaker 2: that could hit it while Arler was doing her well,
- 25:04Speaker 2: Daniel was doing his thing. But yeah, that's not a
- 25:08Speaker 2: lot of meat for Tilke as an actor, like at
- 25:10Speaker 2: Christopher Judge as an actor. But what I did like
- 25:13Speaker 2: is the really point I've seen.
- 25:19Speaker 5: I mean, he did have that really great monologue.
- 25:21Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I want to I wanted to play a
- 25:23Speaker 2: little bit of that, just the little bit of a
- 25:25Speaker 2: speech he had with Toman, because I feel like this
- 25:28Speaker 2: is something that would have I think would have been
- 25:30Speaker 2: really good for us to find out about Tilk in
- 25:33Speaker 2: season one, not the movie after the show has been canceled.
- 25:39Speaker 2: Knowing this, imagine if you heard this speech then going
- 25:43Speaker 2: in and knowing Tilk's arc from season.
- 25:45Speaker 6: One, Nothing I have done since turning against the Gold
- 25:48Speaker 6: will make up for the atrocities I once committed in
- 25:50Speaker 6: their name. Somewhere deep inside you.
- 25:54Speaker 4: You knew it was wrong.
- 25:56Speaker 6: A voice you did not recognize screamed for you to
- 25:58Speaker 6: stop on the way out. It was the way things were.
- 26:04Speaker 6: They could not be changed. You tried to convince yourself
- 26:09Speaker 6: the people you were hurting deserved it. You became numb
- 26:12Speaker 6: to their pain and suffering. You learned to shut out
- 26:15Speaker 6: the voice speaking against it. There's always a choice. Indeed,
- 26:20Speaker 6: there is a choice to ignore it. Yet you sit
- 26:22Speaker 6: here now.
- 26:25Speaker 7: I sit here, and I cannot imagine the day when
- 26:27Speaker 7: I will forgive myself.
- 26:29Speaker 6: Because it will never come one day. Others may try
- 26:32Speaker 6: to convince you they have forgiven you. That is more
- 26:35Speaker 6: about them than you for them imparting forgiveness is a blessing.
- 26:43Speaker 2: How do you go on?
- 26:45Speaker 6: It is simple, You will never forgive yourself.
- 26:49Speaker 4: Accept it.
- 26:51Speaker 2: Like to know that T has been holding onto that
- 26:53Speaker 2: for ten years is pretty substantial, Like, that's pretty monumental.
- 26:58Speaker 4: So I wonder if that's why he chose to play
- 27:01Speaker 4: the part kind of like angry in a way. He
- 27:04Speaker 4: sounded angry. Yeah, you know, it sounded also you know,
- 27:07Speaker 4: it's a very it's a very profound kind of philosophical
- 27:11Speaker 4: thing that he said, where he's like, others will forgive you,
- 27:14Speaker 4: that's more for them. Yeah, yeah, you know that's something
- 27:17Speaker 4: I've I've you know, I've I've been taught you know
- 27:20Speaker 4: by in philosophy classes. It's, you know, forgiveness is it's
- 27:25Speaker 4: it's a two way thing. But mostly it's done because
- 27:29Speaker 4: you want to feel better, and you forgive someone because
- 27:31Speaker 4: you want to feel better about yourself. It's not for
- 27:34Speaker 4: that person even, and that's just it's brutal when you
- 27:37Speaker 4: think about it in this context.
- 27:38Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I can't help. But every time I hear
- 27:40Speaker 2: til give that speech, it takes me all the way
- 27:44Speaker 2: back to the pilot with the way Tilke's voice broke
- 27:48Speaker 2: a little bit. When when O'Neil does the you can
- 27:53Speaker 2: help me save these people, he says many have said that,
- 27:57Speaker 2: but you were the first I believe could do it
- 27:58Speaker 2: and then did it. Like so it's like that moment
- 28:00Speaker 2: and this moment back to back, like in my brain
- 28:03Speaker 2: I can't separate. Yeah, so I guess maybe that's why
- 28:05Speaker 2: in my head it's like, yeah, I really wish this
- 28:07Speaker 2: had been maybe like an end of season one speech
- 28:09Speaker 2: that til Cattle or something like that would have been,
- 28:12Speaker 2: or maybe the first time a popus died or something
- 28:14Speaker 2: like that and Tilk was going through it. I feel
- 28:16Speaker 2: like this would have been a really good conversation to have.
- 28:20Speaker 5: I kind of liked that they waited this long. I
- 28:22Speaker 5: think just because knowing Tilk, he's not he's not valor.
- 28:26Speaker 5: He's not gonna say everything that's on his guardian mind
- 28:28Speaker 5: every second. So I think like he waited and they
- 28:31Speaker 5: were alone, like in the cafeteria. He wasn't saying it
- 28:35Speaker 5: in front of anyone on his team.
- 28:36Speaker 2: Yeah, so it was just kind of like, you're you.
- 28:40Speaker 5: As much as I love you know, Mitchell and Carter
- 28:43Speaker 5: and the other one, Daniel, it's just like, I don't
- 28:50Speaker 5: talk to them about that stuff. Like I'm gonna talk
- 28:52Speaker 5: to you because you are in my position that I
- 28:55Speaker 5: was in ten years ago. Yeah, you're gonna And he
- 28:58Speaker 5: wasn't very comforting because he was like, you're gonna feel
- 29:01Speaker 5: like this for the rest of your life, but you
- 29:03Speaker 5: at the least you can do is just try to
- 29:04Speaker 5: do the right thing.
- 29:05Speaker 2: Yeah, he gave you.
- 29:06Speaker 5: Actually, I feel like if they put it in season one,
- 29:08Speaker 5: it'd be like, well, we already know he probably feels bad,
- 29:11Speaker 5: you know, years.
- 29:14Speaker 2: Under his belt they would have needed. I think the
- 29:15Speaker 2: conversation with Toman was really good because a Toman needed
- 29:19Speaker 2: that that hard truth and that tough love, because yeah,
- 29:24Speaker 2: he is essentially the new Tilk in that way. He's
- 29:26Speaker 2: he's someone who's turned against his his faith and his beliefs.
- 29:31Speaker 2: They've whitewashed Tilk with Toman. But yeah, like he's definitely
- 29:36Speaker 2: not a conversation he would have with with any that.
- 29:39Speaker 2: Even with O'Neill, I think it wouldn't have hit as
- 29:42Speaker 2: hard as it did with Toman. But yeah, so that
- 29:46Speaker 2: the person was right, But yeah, I just yeah, I
- 29:48Speaker 2: don't know, I just I guess I kind of wish
- 29:50Speaker 2: it was something sooner, but you know, at least at
- 29:52Speaker 2: the end of the day, at least he got it,
- 29:53Speaker 2: because imagine if he didn't have that in this episode,
- 29:56Speaker 2: what else would would he done except for the big
- 29:59Speaker 2: montage of him walking across the mountains and all that
- 30:01Speaker 2: kind of stuff. So I'm glad Question of a Judge
- 30:03Speaker 2: got some got a little bit of meat in this episode.
- 30:05Speaker 1: I like that we get that speech maybe is it
- 30:07Speaker 1: three or four seasons in and he gives it to somebody,
- 30:11Speaker 1: you know, and he's very it's very raw what we
- 30:14Speaker 1: just heard for that full sixty seconds, like him saying
- 30:16Speaker 1: that I'm you never forgive yourself. You just have to
- 30:19Speaker 1: sort of try and make up for it and accept
- 30:21Speaker 1: what you did and you did it for whatever reason.
- 30:22Speaker 3: Blah blah blah. And then it gets to the next
- 30:25Speaker 3: episode where he blows away Charree and then and then.
- 30:28Speaker 1: He and Daniel were talking and he's like, I feel
- 30:30Speaker 1: nothing like you know, just he just moved, not like
- 30:33Speaker 1: I had to forgive myself.
- 30:34Speaker 3: And no, bro, no.
- 30:36Speaker 2: Forgiveness is for them, not for you. And Daniel's like,
- 30:38Speaker 2: I'm not forgiving you. He's like, could just shot her
- 30:41Speaker 2: in the leg. You went center mass.
- 30:45Speaker 4: Well, Daniel's the worst thing to ever happen to Tilk
- 30:48Speaker 4: and char Yeah.
- 30:51Speaker 2: And I guess if you if you take a sension
- 30:53Speaker 2: out of it, he's the worst thing to happen to
- 30:54Speaker 2: abidots because they're all gone. But new Way, I had
- 31:02Speaker 2: a thought with Away. I had a thought with Autust Mallem.
- 31:07Speaker 2: We were talking earlier about you know, the bless you
- 31:11Speaker 2: our beloved village, our beloved village set that we get
- 31:13Speaker 2: introduced to at the start of the episode, and then
- 31:15Speaker 2: we have the conversation with the you know, proto Lanteans,
- 31:20Speaker 2: the h our Terrans. I guess, yeah, is the best
- 31:24Speaker 2: one for these guys having their little secret conversation. And
- 31:29Speaker 2: then we see later on the ship, you know, exiting
- 31:33Speaker 2: out of the out of the mountain and the big
- 31:36Speaker 2: did they kill everyone in that village or or.
- 31:40Speaker 3: With that a whole kid just finished sweeping those streets
- 31:43Speaker 3: and all of a.
- 31:43Speaker 2: Sudden on top of it, because I kind of got
- 31:46Speaker 2: the vibe that there weren't that many Lanteans in that village.
- 31:50Speaker 2: That's why they were having their little secret meeting in
- 31:52Speaker 2: that little room, because the whole village couldn't have a chat.
- 31:56Speaker 2: So did they just kill a bunch of like or
- 31:58Speaker 2: I believers as they left with that, with that big
- 32:01Speaker 2: avalanche or like that was it's not very landin of thematic.
- 32:08Speaker 4: I got the vibe that they needed to hide from
- 32:10Speaker 4: the other people. Yeah.
- 32:12Speaker 2: Yeah, so like but when they left, they they totaled
- 32:15Speaker 2: that they totaled that place. They're like these guys, So.
- 32:18Speaker 4: I mean the set survived, it also traveled across the gallage.
- 32:26Speaker 2: Yeah. Something else sort of kind of hit me too that.
- 32:30Speaker 6: Uh.
- 32:31Speaker 2: In that speech they talk about the are specifically, So
- 32:36Speaker 2: I don't so the ore I must already exist for
- 32:41Speaker 2: the followers to believe in them, for the altans to
- 32:44Speaker 2: be able to go. We need to we need to leave.
- 32:47Speaker 2: So that means the are I ascended before the ancients?
- 32:53Speaker 2: Is that what this is telling us the first ones
- 32:57Speaker 2: to do a lot.
- 32:58Speaker 5: I feel like that makes sense because the scene where
- 33:02Speaker 5: like the woman comes back to that guy who's fiddling
- 33:04Speaker 5: with the arc or the arc and he has his
- 33:06Speaker 5: journal open. He's like, oh, almost forgot my journal. It
- 33:09Speaker 5: shows he's drafting a stargate. Yeah, which means how the
- 33:13Speaker 5: hell do the Ori I have a stargate?
- 33:16Speaker 2: If he was just he's like, yeah, he's he's taken
- 33:20Speaker 2: that idea on the ship when they've gone to the
- 33:22Speaker 2: Milky Way Galaxy? Yeah, so how how did how does
- 33:25Speaker 2: the ore Galaxy have stargates and supergates?
- 33:30Speaker 4: Maybe they're actually never see we never we never see
- 33:34Speaker 4: an stargate, I mean presumably, but they have the rings. Yeah,
- 33:38Speaker 4: but we see in Supergate, So I mean, maybe is
- 33:41Speaker 4: the is the proto?
- 33:44Speaker 2: I mean in Beachhead we see we see the prior
- 33:47Speaker 2: come through the stargate in like in the Beachhead. But yeah,
- 33:51Speaker 2: I guess we don't know whether he's come direct from
- 33:54Speaker 2: the ore Galaxy or whether he's come from another planet.
- 33:56Speaker 2: In this galaxy, I guess barely.
- 33:58Speaker 4: Norah, I mean presumably. I mean I can use Robert C.
- 34:04Speaker 4: Cooper's later writing to justify his earlier writing. Is that
- 34:08Speaker 4: the canonical first gates are the Universe gates, which look different.
- 34:13Speaker 4: So the He's like, oh, I'm going to improve on
- 34:15Speaker 4: them with this design.
- 34:16Speaker 2: But do do I mean, you know Universe better than
- 34:19Speaker 2: anyone in this room. Do the Universe gates pre date
- 34:23Speaker 2: the opening of this episode?
- 34:26Speaker 4: In Universe? I think they never say, but it's over
- 34:29Speaker 4: millions of years old. They would have because they predate ascension.
- 34:34Speaker 2: Yeah, but that what I'm saying is do the the
- 34:37Speaker 2: or I also technically predate ascension because these Lanteans who
- 34:41Speaker 2: are leaving the galaxy, we presume I don't know how
- 34:46Speaker 2: to ascend yet or is that just me making an assumption.
- 34:48Speaker 4: I don't think they want to because they're the science people.
- 34:51Speaker 4: The godly people are the ones who are like, oh,
- 34:54Speaker 4: we can get power power.
- 34:58Speaker 2: Yes, that's what I'm saying. So so do we know
- 35:02Speaker 2: in Universe, like the seed ships and that kind of stuff,
- 35:05Speaker 2: did they leave from the Milky Way or did they
- 35:08Speaker 2: leave from the ore Galaxy?
- 35:12Speaker 4: I think they say the Milky Way.
- 35:15Speaker 2: So that means like this opening scene would have to
- 35:18Speaker 2: predate universe, right, it would have to predate that.
- 35:22Speaker 4: It doesn't make sense, but yeah, I guess so.
- 35:25Speaker 2: Well, I mean, if these are the the Lanteans, these
- 35:27Speaker 2: are the first Lanteans to leave the ore Galaxy to
- 35:31Speaker 2: migrate to the to the Milky Way, then yeah, it
- 35:33Speaker 2: would have to predate universe, wouldn't it. So yeah, so
- 35:37Speaker 2: in terms of yeah, the knowledge of a stargate, and
- 35:41Speaker 2: like Brennan has said many times, like ascension apparently now
- 35:45Speaker 2: is locate like geography based in that you know, the
- 35:50Speaker 2: Ancients are allowed to be ascended in the Milky Way
- 35:52Speaker 2: and Pegasus galaxies, but the ore I are allowed to
- 35:55Speaker 2: be ascended in the ore Galaxy and never the two
- 35:58Speaker 2: shall meet. Yes, no, that's a very good point. I
- 36:03Speaker 2: wonder how and when the ore I got stargate technology.
- 36:11Speaker 1: But I know I was waiting for a big collective
- 36:13Speaker 1: we might I mean, we're going to do a collective
- 36:14Speaker 1: one of those at the end.
- 36:15Speaker 2: Of the Yeah, well, do we want to hear some
- 36:17Speaker 2: shooting on CREEPA I can do that now, Yes, all right,
- 36:20Speaker 2: I've got I've got a couple of little goodies here
- 36:22Speaker 2: for you. From the audio commentary, I.
- 36:24Speaker 8: Want to try and explain to people to a certain extent,
- 36:26Speaker 8: how much money equals time equals what the final picture
- 36:32Speaker 8: is on the screen.
- 36:33Speaker 7: And I'm not talking about visual effects or all of that.
- 36:36Speaker 8: I mean, I'm talking about whether the camera's moving right now,
- 36:39Speaker 8: you know, I'm talking about the size of the set, and.
- 36:42Speaker 7: Let the audience maybe where they don't necessarily it was
- 36:45Speaker 7: not obvious what money is perhaps spent on and what
- 36:48Speaker 7: the difference is when you do spend money in this
- 36:50Speaker 7: car sequence here, what shots do you do?
- 36:53Speaker 8: You do well, you can't get this shot if you
- 36:55Speaker 8: can't have a hole in the set where there you
- 36:58Speaker 8: know there was on the reverse there.
- 36:59Speaker 7: Was a that costs money. It cost time to put
- 37:02Speaker 7: a camera back there. And do the audiens already know
- 37:05Speaker 7: that this is inside a large building, this entire set.
- 37:08Speaker 8: This shot here, there was no wall there, I mean
- 37:11Speaker 8: that entire side. And that wasn't because oh we wanted
- 37:15Speaker 8: to do this shot with a great mountain. I mean,
- 37:17Speaker 8: yes we did, but we couldnt afford to build enough
- 37:20Speaker 8: set to make a four wall.
- 37:21Speaker 2: Alcohol bro you wrote it, You wrote that we dig
- 37:26Speaker 2: a thing up out of the ground. You can't then
- 37:29Speaker 2: complain that you can't afford to do it when you
- 37:31Speaker 2: wrote it broke. And the best part is this film
- 37:36Speaker 2: was a direct to DVD release. The only way you
- 37:40Speaker 2: could see it for the first time was on DVD,
- 37:42Speaker 2: which means it came with the audio commentary before anybody
- 37:47Speaker 2: had seen it. So he's already trying to defend it
- 37:50Speaker 2: before there's even been any discourse about it. Like, he knew,
- 37:54Speaker 2: he knew people weren't going to like it. He knew
- 37:57Speaker 2: he had a stinker, and he's trying to defend it.
- 38:00Speaker 4: To be fair, it is a valid point though that
- 38:04Speaker 4: like it is shot differently than the show. Yeah, it's
- 38:07Speaker 4: lit differently than the show. That's probably because they had
- 38:10Speaker 4: more money.
- 38:10Speaker 2: To do it. Yeah, apparently they had seven million dollars
- 38:13Speaker 2: to make this, and an average an average episode of
- 38:16Speaker 2: Stargate cost them two million dollars apparently from the from
- 38:20Speaker 2: what I've read, believe.
- 38:22Speaker 4: I believe it started at one point three for us
- 38:24Speaker 4: you want, and then Universe had three millions, so they
- 38:27Speaker 4: kept giving them more and more money as it went.
- 38:29Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I guess inflation as well.
- 38:32Speaker 4: They had a lot of thefts.
- 38:34Speaker 5: Should have been better.
- 38:37Speaker 2: Well, I guess it was probably all the pay bumps
- 38:39Speaker 2: for all the all the writers and all that kind
- 38:41Speaker 2: of stuff and producers, but it is not.
- 38:44Speaker 3: I think there's been.
- 38:45Speaker 1: I mean, we're in the blockbuster season. I feel like
- 38:46Speaker 1: there's something big coming out every single week at the
- 38:48Speaker 1: cinemas at the moment. But like there was almost a
- 38:51Speaker 1: month period, this six week period where we had the
- 38:54Speaker 1: Joker sequel and.
- 38:55Speaker 3: Then we had.
- 38:58Speaker 1: Read one actually probably would have in another one, and
- 39:00Speaker 1: I think Wicked and god what else came out more recently. Anyway,
- 39:05Speaker 1: those three alone, Gladiator, I think all four of those
- 39:08Speaker 1: films were like two hundred and fifty million dollars. Gladiator
- 39:12Speaker 1: you can see it on screen, Red One you can
- 39:14Speaker 1: see it on screen either the actors, visual effects doesn't matter.
- 39:17Speaker 1: You can kind of see where they're putting it. Wicked
- 39:20Speaker 1: you can see it on screen. Joker, I'm like that
- 39:23Speaker 1: was filmed in like three rooms. There's like almost no
- 39:27Speaker 1: visual effects. I mean, there is visual effects in everything,
- 39:29Speaker 1: but I don't know where you spend two hundred and
- 39:32Speaker 1: fifty million dollars. So, like when you said seven million,
- 39:35Speaker 1: I was like, holy shit, that's a lot of money
- 39:36Speaker 1: for this episode, especially when we're talking sixteen years ago.
- 39:39Speaker 1: But if every episode anyway cost about two it's like, oh,
- 39:42Speaker 1: that actually kind of makes sense.
- 39:43Speaker 3: This is this is two episodes as a time, and
- 39:45Speaker 3: it's like three and a half episodes worth of budget.
- 39:48Speaker 2: You've also got to remember there a lot of standing sets.
- 39:50Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 39:50Speaker 2: Yeah, like Cooper's winging about he's the one that wrote
- 39:54Speaker 2: we went back to Dakara. I mean, it doesn't make
- 39:55Speaker 2: sense to go back to Dakara because of the ancient
- 39:57Speaker 2: weapon and all that kind of stuff. But it's like, well,
- 39:59Speaker 2: we already have the SGC set, we have the Odyssey set,
- 40:03Speaker 2: we have the town sets, the village, So it's like,
- 40:08Speaker 2: what other you know, bits did you need? They did
- 40:11Speaker 2: shoot ship set probably yeah, yeah, they would have had
- 40:14Speaker 2: that millions yea, yeah, pre I mean, we'll get to
- 40:21Speaker 2: it later, but I feel like a lot of money
- 40:23Speaker 2: was wasted on replameric that didn't need to be the
- 40:25Speaker 2: terminator stuff. But apparently this was Apparently this was also
- 40:29Speaker 2: shot in eighteen days, so they they shoot a normal
- 40:32Speaker 2: episode of Stargate in seven or eight days for two
- 40:36Speaker 2: million dollars. They shot this, which is the equivalent of
- 40:38Speaker 2: what two and a half episodes maybe for seventy for
- 40:42Speaker 2: seven million dollars, and they shot it in eighteen days.
- 40:46Speaker 4: And for what anyone was even less?
- 40:48Speaker 3: Yeah, well less time filming.
- 40:50Speaker 1: Yeah, holy hell, because I mean again for the physical
- 40:53Speaker 1: media putting this on DVD. The the prelude to the
- 40:56Speaker 1: to the menu to watch the Arc of Truth. The
- 40:59Speaker 1: Ark of the Truth was a little behind the scenes
- 41:03Speaker 1: snippet like teaser of Continuum. So before you even know
- 41:07Speaker 1: you're watching anything, there's snowmobiles going across you know, the
- 41:11Speaker 1: Arctic or wherever the hell they were shooting, and it's like,
- 41:13Speaker 1: you know, boom, all these actors wearing you know, their
- 41:16Speaker 1: Parkers and things, and it's like coming soon to DVD,
- 41:19Speaker 1: you know, Stargut Continuum, and it looks like this epic
- 41:22Speaker 1: movie that's being filmed and all these locations. So the
- 41:24Speaker 1: idea that they went and did I know, there's a
- 41:26Speaker 1: lot of pre production going on, but the idea they
- 41:28Speaker 1: went and did all that on top of everything else
- 41:30Speaker 1: that they film that I barely remember because I haven't
- 41:33Speaker 1: seen it in fifteen years.
- 41:34Speaker 3: That seems crazy.
- 41:35Speaker 2: We'll talk about it next week. But the first episode
- 41:37Speaker 2: of season four of Atlantis Adrift, Yeah, was directed by
- 41:41Speaker 2: Martin Wood. Yes, during production apparently he had to leave
- 41:45Speaker 2: to go to the Arctic to do some of the
- 41:47Speaker 2: shooting and pre production stuff.
- 41:49Speaker 4: Oh wait, that makes no sense with the length of
- 41:53Speaker 4: Carter's hair then, because.
- 41:56Speaker 2: I didn't want to say that, I didn't want to
- 41:59Speaker 2: lean on Ellen for that, but I'm like, she's the
- 42:01Speaker 2: only one that may have any kind of knowledge base
- 42:03Speaker 2: around that in terms of did like did Amanda Tapping
- 42:07Speaker 2: have hair extensions in or like that you could tell
- 42:10Speaker 2: was that her real hair or in this? Yeah?
- 42:13Speaker 5: An truth, Yeah, it looks like her real hair because
- 42:18Speaker 5: I've seen her with bad wigs and I've seen her.
- 42:20Speaker 2: With bad extensions, like remember remember when fifth when she
- 42:25Speaker 2: was like on the farm and she had those horrible
- 42:27Speaker 2: extensions that was so bad.
- 42:29Speaker 5: No, I don't think like would the military or like
- 42:32Speaker 5: would she be allowed to have long hair, because I
- 42:34Speaker 5: solid braided.
- 42:34Speaker 2: And yeah, I'm pretty sure the long hair was Amanda's
- 42:37Speaker 2: choice because she was sick of like she had to
- 42:39Speaker 2: have her hair cut short for ten years the show's
- 42:42Speaker 2: canc She's like, I can finally grow my hair out,
- 42:45Speaker 2: and then they do in these movies, And I'm fairly
- 42:47Speaker 2: certain Amanda Tapping said no, I'm not cutting my hair
- 42:50Speaker 2: again for this. But yeah, I've never understood the time.
- 42:55Speaker 2: The time like that's the only sort of anachronism that
- 42:59Speaker 2: I can find in this timeline wise, is Yeah, the
- 43:01Speaker 2: time between unending and now is how did Carter grow
- 43:06Speaker 2: her hair? Because apparently too, someone said in the in
- 43:08Speaker 2: some of the trivia, I I don't know if I
- 43:10Speaker 2: believe it or not, but this they said technically takes
- 43:13Speaker 2: place before the last episode of last season of Atlantis
- 43:18Speaker 2: First Strike. Huh, because because they said this is actually
- 43:22Speaker 2: technically the first chronological appearance of Colonel Ellis and the
- 43:27Speaker 2: Apollo where he has that quick moment on the screen. Yeah,
- 43:30Speaker 2: they're saying that takes that takes place before First Strike.
- 43:35Speaker 5: Wait, so there's another continuity thing. I need to ask
- 43:38Speaker 5: you guys about that. Yeah, because in truth, someone he's
- 43:42Speaker 5: like an extra or whatever, but he they reference O'Neill
- 43:46Speaker 5: and he says Colonel O'Neill. But oh, the timeline is correct,
- 43:51Speaker 5: then it should have been general. He's been general long time.
- 43:55Speaker 5: But they said colonel, so are they just was it
- 43:57Speaker 5: a goof or was it like, are we And this
- 44:00Speaker 5: is totally.
- 44:00Speaker 2: I didn't I didn't notice that do you do you
- 44:03Speaker 2: can you remember where it was?
- 44:05Speaker 5: Oh, I'm not good with timestamps.
- 44:07Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean for the scene was the only thing.
- 44:10Speaker 5: It was when they were back in the and they
- 44:13Speaker 5: were back at Shia Mountain.
- 44:14Speaker 2: Okay, So the only thing I can think of is,
- 44:16Speaker 2: I mean, maybe unless they were referring to an event
- 44:20Speaker 2: that happened when he was, oh maybe a colonel, like
- 44:24Speaker 2: when when Colonel O'Neill had the Ancient Repository downloaded into
- 44:29Speaker 2: his brain. I feel like you could get away with
- 44:31Speaker 2: saying that because he was a colonel at the time.
- 44:34Speaker 2: But yeah, otherwise you're right, that is a complete stuff up.
- 44:37Speaker 5: Like I mean, honestly, I kind of was just kind
- 44:39Speaker 5: of like, you know, we're rush watching this, Yeah, and
- 44:42Speaker 5: then I just heard that word colonel, and I was likeing, like.
- 44:45Speaker 2: God, you're gonna make me rewatch it when I get
- 44:46Speaker 2: home now and see if I can find that. That's
- 44:48Speaker 2: that's that's a good get Well.
- 44:49Speaker 1: The name the reference that got me was when I
- 44:52Speaker 1: think it was when Marrek he was when he was
- 44:56Speaker 1: introduced in in Landry's office and did Mitchell ask or
- 45:03Speaker 1: it came up something about Woolsey Woolsey and he is
- 45:07Speaker 1: on and he's too busy with the Atlanta's mission, and
- 45:10Speaker 1: I'm like, well, I know that he comes into Atlanta's
- 45:13Speaker 1: at some point. I don't know how or why. I've
- 45:16Speaker 1: seen DVD covers or I've seen pictures, I know nothing.
- 45:19Speaker 1: And when I know nothing about Atlantis.
- 45:21Speaker 3: Season four and five, but when they yeah, well yeah.
- 45:25Speaker 1: So knowing I don't know him very much. But all
- 45:29Speaker 1: of a sudden, I'm like, do I need to text
- 45:30Speaker 1: Matt and go which one should I watch first? Because
- 45:33Speaker 1: I thought we were talking Ark of Truth and then
- 45:35Speaker 1: we're supposed to watch a drift. But maybe if I
- 45:38Speaker 1: watched it the other way around, that reference would make
- 45:41Speaker 1: sense because he's all of that sudden.
- 45:43Speaker 2: From what I remember, I do think like even though
- 45:47Speaker 2: arka of Truth is set right after Unnending, it didn't
- 45:51Speaker 2: come out till maybe between season four and five of Atlantis.
- 45:57Speaker 2: I think it took him a while. Obviously was anything
- 45:59Speaker 2: shot it in a teen days, but it took a
- 46:00Speaker 2: lot of postsprit.
- 46:01Speaker 1: Up right, But chronologically speaking, like this is where all
- 46:04Speaker 1: the lists tell you is that you're supposed to watch this, yes,
- 46:06Speaker 1: prior to watching seasons, which I mean because myself doesn't
- 46:09Speaker 1: make a lot of sense, considering they are very much
- 46:11Speaker 1: as Cliffhanger arounding, we're going to pick up when we
- 46:13Speaker 1: left off.
- 46:14Speaker 3: But I get what you mean.
- 46:15Speaker 2: Yeah, I because when I heard them reference Woolsey, that
- 46:18Speaker 2: was my other thing, because I know what happens in
- 46:19Speaker 2: season four and five of Atlantis, and I was like, oh,
- 46:22Speaker 2: so the only thing in my brain that I think
- 46:24Speaker 2: buys it back is obviously if Woolsey had been the
- 46:29Speaker 2: one that was here to do this, then they he
- 46:31Speaker 2: would have been replamatic, like, because we needed Marek to
- 46:34Speaker 2: be the bad guy who was going to be turned
- 46:35Speaker 2: into a replicator and then killed. They didn't want to
- 46:38Speaker 2: kill off Woolsey, so they just went, oh, he's busy
- 46:40Speaker 2: on Atlantis.
- 46:41Speaker 1: Which I feel like because of the quote unquote turn
- 46:44Speaker 1: which is referenced on the synopsis in the back of
- 46:46Speaker 1: the So I read that after I watched it, because
- 46:50Speaker 1: again I haven't seen this in fifteen sixteen years, I
- 46:52Speaker 1: forgot almost everything I knew it had to do with
- 46:54Speaker 1: the Ari and that's it. When the replicators showed up,
- 46:57Speaker 1: I was shocked. But when like Marreck comes up, it's like, oh, hey,
- 47:01Speaker 1: where's Wolsey. It could have almost been a bit of oh,
- 47:04Speaker 1: you know, no, it's it's I'm representing them now because
- 47:07Speaker 1: he is part of I know that the I Away
- 47:09Speaker 1: and all the different factions along the way that we've
- 47:11Speaker 1: had with the trust and all that ss of the stuff.
- 47:13Speaker 1: But he could have been his own little like, no,
- 47:15Speaker 1: we need to we're going to be there to make
- 47:17Speaker 1: the call when it needs to be made. Someone like Woolsey,
- 47:20Speaker 1: he's more open to listening to the SGC because he's
- 47:23Speaker 1: been here when some ships went down and as well, yeah,
- 47:27Speaker 1: he's messed up exactly. So he's been against them in
- 47:30Speaker 1: the past, but then he's actually lived through some of
- 47:31Speaker 1: their ship and he's actually, I think I need to
- 47:34Speaker 1: give you a little bit more leniency with making your
- 47:36Speaker 1: own decisions outside of what the military would expect, because
- 47:40Speaker 1: this is yeah, whereas this guy comes along with no, no, no,
- 47:43Speaker 1: Like even the fact that he's sitting down opposite Tome
- 47:46Speaker 1: and having like an interrogation like this is all I
- 47:49Speaker 1: can imagine.
- 47:49Speaker 3: This would be foreign to this guy.
- 47:51Speaker 2: And that's how we were introduced to Wolsey. Remember back
- 47:53Speaker 2: in Heroes or whatever it was, Wolsey had the same thing.
- 47:56Speaker 2: He said that I feel like that's that's the trope
- 47:58Speaker 2: with but it's just like the common factor with the
- 48:02Speaker 2: Ioway and that kind of stuff is there so up
- 48:06Speaker 2: their own asses and think they know better because they're
- 48:08Speaker 2: just reading the reports afterward having hindsight. And this goes
- 48:11Speaker 2: to my conversation with with Brendan about Weir and all
- 48:13Speaker 2: that kind of stuff. They think they know better about everything,
- 48:17Speaker 2: but they're not there. They don't have any real world experience.
- 48:20Speaker 2: And if you notice, the more real world experience Wolvesey
- 48:23Speaker 2: gets with the Stargate program, the more he softens and
- 48:27Speaker 2: realizes that these people are actually doing incredibly amazing things.
- 48:31Speaker 3: Yeah, so yeah, I do.
- 48:32Speaker 2: I do like that, but yeah, let's talk about it.
- 48:34Speaker 2: Does everyone feel about the replicators being back?
- 48:38Speaker 6: Ah?
- 48:41Speaker 5: I think it was kind of it was creative playing
- 48:46Speaker 5: Devil's Advocate. I see why Merrik did that, or like
- 48:49Speaker 5: the IOWA because it's like, yeah, I guess in a
- 48:51Speaker 5: world where there was zero hope and it was they
- 48:54Speaker 5: were gonna all die. Yeah, one last few is like
- 48:57Speaker 5: putting the replicators on the ri ships.
- 49:00Speaker 2: Yeah, and again because he doesn't have real world experience,
- 49:03Speaker 2: and like, I think it's maybe Mitchell pulls him up
- 49:05Speaker 2: on it and says, well, once they're done with the
- 49:08Speaker 2: our galaxy, they're coming back here.
- 49:10Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 49:10Speaker 2: But because Marek hasn't had that experience, he doesn't think
- 49:13Speaker 2: about that. He just thinks about, yeah, you're right over
- 49:15Speaker 2: the ara.
- 49:16Speaker 4: If he ever had if he'd ever encountered them before,
- 49:19Speaker 4: like if he'd actually had to deal with them, he
- 49:21Speaker 4: wouldn't have done it.
- 49:21Speaker 3: Yet.
- 49:22Speaker 4: They needed a new guy who was like gullible enough
- 49:25Speaker 4: to believe that. They were like, this is our master
- 49:29Speaker 4: plan and you're gonna do it, and he's like okay.
- 49:32Speaker 4: They needed him to not have the previous experience, otherwise
- 49:36Speaker 4: he would have been too scared of them. Yeah.
- 49:38Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a good way of looking at it. But
- 49:40Speaker 5: I honestly, like at the end when they're finding when
- 49:42Speaker 5: he's finding Mitchell and then he takes that thing out
- 49:44Speaker 5: of his neck and so for a second he's back
- 49:46Speaker 5: to himself and he's like kill me. I don't feel
- 49:48Speaker 5: bad for him, honestly, I don't. I feel like they
- 49:50Speaker 5: were trying to, like maybe Cooper was trying to get
- 49:52Speaker 5: us to like feel bad for Marek, but I was
- 49:54Speaker 5: just kind of like, you, dude, yeah, you like, what
- 49:56Speaker 5: did you think was gonna happen.
- 49:58Speaker 2: Yes, it's kind of.
- 50:00Speaker 5: Not like you didn't know what a replicator was, like
- 50:02Speaker 5: you read the reports.
- 50:04Speaker 2: Me being the petty person, I am, whould just be
- 50:06Speaker 2: like I told you so, yeah, like yes, yes, yes, yes,
- 50:09Speaker 2: blah blah blah, and then blow him up.
- 50:13Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 50:13Speaker 1: We see those sort of characters pop up a lot,
- 50:15Speaker 1: like you know, so like the Alien franchise, and you
- 50:17Speaker 1: know they they send in someone going oh no, I
- 50:19Speaker 1: will just handle things a little bit different, like no, no, no, you.
- 50:21Speaker 3: Guys, you don't understand what. Nah, We'll be fine.
- 50:26Speaker 1: And then of course those people get messed up and
- 50:28Speaker 1: you never you're cheering for the monster at that point.
- 50:31Speaker 1: And yeah, like we've had so many problems with the
- 50:32Speaker 1: replicators along the years. But I think because I didn't
- 50:35Speaker 1: remember it, and because it was very quickly since they
- 50:38Speaker 1: pop up, you realize, oh, this is a bad idea.
- 50:41Speaker 1: I did feel this, this moment of fear for them.
- 50:47Speaker 1: I was like, oh no, it wasn't like, oh God,
- 50:49Speaker 1: the replicator is a back like Cooper had the he
- 50:51Speaker 1: makes his movie and he brings his bloody replicated back.
- 50:55Speaker 3: But I'm like, no, I this is such a bad idea.
- 50:58Speaker 1: Holy shit, No, bro, and that he kept pushing for it,
- 51:02Speaker 1: and then he releases it and he's like, yeah, well,
- 51:04Speaker 1: I mean, even if we do have to sacrifice ourselves
- 51:07Speaker 1: and this ship for the greater mission, oh, so be it,
- 51:10Speaker 1: because it's definitely going to work. So I don't like
- 51:13Speaker 1: the idea that they had to go back and rely
- 51:15Speaker 1: on them. But at the same time, I don't think
- 51:17Speaker 1: I hated it the way it was done.
- 51:20Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the the Replicators themselves and that whole
- 51:24Speaker 2: thing where like that random sort of tactical team set
- 51:28Speaker 2: the ground and shoot, that was boring as hell to me,
- 51:31Speaker 2: but at least by the whole replematic thing, that was
- 51:36Speaker 2: technically something fresh. We've never seen replicators do that before.
- 51:40Speaker 4: Guys. Guys, guys, guys.
- 51:42Speaker 2: A human bug, A terminator, A terminator bug. We're going
- 51:48Speaker 2: to do a terminator bug. Apparently, though, this was an
- 51:52Speaker 2: idea they had back in the end of season four
- 51:58Speaker 2: or five, when the Replicators killed the Pofus the final
- 52:02Speaker 2: time for a split moment. Apparently they had the idea
- 52:06Speaker 2: of having the Replicators takeover slash augment Apofus's body. Ah,
- 52:13Speaker 2: and then they realized then they realized, oh, we've kind
- 52:16Speaker 2: of already done that because by that point Apofus had
- 52:18Speaker 2: that kind of metal plate in his head and all
- 52:20Speaker 2: that kind they went, oh, well, how are we going
- 52:23Speaker 2: to make him look physically different enough for it to
- 52:27Speaker 2: but imagine imagine that plate on Apofus's head being actually
- 52:31Speaker 2: like replicator blocks or something like that, Like that could
- 52:35Speaker 2: be kind of cool.
- 52:37Speaker 4: But yeah, it was.
- 52:37Speaker 2: It was very much a repeat. And then obviously the
- 52:39Speaker 2: other huge repeat, which is the thing that I think
- 52:42Speaker 2: is it's my most favorite and least favorite moment of
- 52:47Speaker 2: this movie is when Morgan shows up and fights Adria.
- 52:53Speaker 2: That is just a complete knockoff of the Omen Desala
- 52:58Speaker 2: and Fat and Fat Anubis fight in the diner.
- 53:02Speaker 4: Play the Alicia.
- 53:09Speaker 5: I feel like, am I good at predicting things? Or
- 53:11Speaker 5: is it just this show is not very you know,
- 53:14Speaker 5: it's very predictable.
- 53:15Speaker 2: Yeah, Like it's just like, oh what, so we're like
- 53:19Speaker 2: like the Oma de Sala and and Anubis diner stuff
- 53:24Speaker 2: is some of my fa Like Threads is one of
- 53:25Speaker 2: my favorite episodes of all of Stargate, and I love
- 53:29Speaker 2: that and that's what made me really fall in love
- 53:31Speaker 2: with Omad Sala was all that kind of stuff. So
- 53:36Speaker 2: I'll have the salad, So to have them sort of
- 53:40Speaker 2: rehash this, I was conflicted. But also, obviously I love
- 53:46Speaker 2: Marina Backeran from her Firefly days, and I love Sarah Strange,
- 53:49Speaker 2: so I've seen her and some other stuff. She's in
- 53:51Speaker 2: some of my other sort of favorite short lived TV shows. Obviously,
- 53:55Speaker 2: she was in Pegasus Project, which is one of my
- 53:56Speaker 2: favorite episodes as well. And this lined livery is just
- 54:02Speaker 2: it's empowering and it's petty and it's powerful, and I
- 54:07Speaker 2: love it so much and it's what makes it my
- 54:10Speaker 2: favorite moment. I remember watching this show, this movie for
- 54:13Speaker 2: the first time and loving this moment, and it wasn't
- 54:16Speaker 2: until later that I realized it was just a rehash
- 54:18Speaker 2: of threads. But this line delivery sells it for me.
- 54:22Speaker 5: You imagine me, I am not.
- 54:29Speaker 2: Just this slight snarl in her lips the way she
- 54:32Speaker 2: delivers that, I am. Now, I'm just like, yeah, mocking
- 54:36Speaker 2: the fae this shit up. Yeah.
- 54:40Speaker 5: I mean, it's predictable, but it's enjoyable. Like I'm not like,
- 54:44Speaker 5: oh no, here we go again. I'm just kind of
- 54:47Speaker 5: just like, oh, okay, they have no creativity, but at
- 54:49Speaker 5: least it's executed in a decent fashion.
- 54:52Speaker 9: Yeah, it's the greatest hits, but it is the biggest
- 54:56Speaker 9: pet peeve I have in this movie is with Mitchell, because,
- 55:00Speaker 9: like with Mark, it's so clear from like the first
- 55:03Speaker 9: time you see his face, he just has a very
- 55:05Speaker 9: punishable face, but then also like you just know he's
- 55:08Speaker 9: up to something.
- 55:08Speaker 5: And then later Mitchell says a line he's like, so
- 55:12Speaker 5: that was your plan, which his delivery of it tells
- 55:15Speaker 5: me that Mitchell was sess of him this whole time.
- 55:17Speaker 5: And I'm like, why don't they put twenty four like
- 55:20Speaker 5: you know, twenty four seven eyes on him, like they
- 55:22Speaker 5: know he's gonna be up to something and know he's
- 55:24Speaker 5: just free to wander the odyssey or whatever.
- 55:27Speaker 4: I can confine him to quarters. And then was like
- 55:30Speaker 4: if he's so desire or whatever he said, So that
- 55:32Speaker 4: bothers me.
- 55:32Speaker 2: So I'm like, just do it, you know, Yeah, no,
- 55:35Speaker 2: you're right, you're right, absolutely right. But you know it's
- 55:39Speaker 2: Cooper and he's writing is terrible and he's wrong because, uh,
- 55:44Speaker 2: in the audio commentary, he said he doesn't even remember
- 55:47Speaker 2: his own show. That's why what makes me think that
- 55:49Speaker 2: he doesn't know he's repeating things because he doesn't even
- 55:53Speaker 2: know the show that he runs his story.
- 55:58Speaker 8: I think that they're there are some really seminal moments
- 56:02Speaker 8: for each of the characters throughout this story, and that
- 56:04Speaker 8: was that was something else that I felt would hopefully
- 56:08Speaker 8: make this feel like a movie more so than just
- 56:12Speaker 8: an average big episode of the series. There there's a
- 56:16Speaker 8: lot a lot of people will say, oh, you just try.
- 56:17Speaker 8: You tried to cramp too much into one small hour
- 56:20Speaker 8: and a half. You know, it's just not there's not
- 56:23Speaker 8: enough time to do to do everything.
- 56:24Speaker 7: You want to do.
- 56:25Speaker 8: But at the same time, those moments, when you see
- 56:28Speaker 8: them all jammy like, they hopefully have more impact, you
- 56:30Speaker 8: know what I mean, Like, oh my god, we just
- 56:32Speaker 8: killed a prior. We never in the series have you
- 56:35Speaker 8: seen a prior killed. That's a big moment for us.
- 56:38Speaker 2: Exactly if anyone remembers the eleventh episode of The oor
- 56:44Speaker 2: i Ark Season nine, episode eleven, The Fourth Horseman, Part two,
- 56:48Speaker 2: this is the recipe for the not even a pie crust, Yeah,
- 56:53Speaker 2: not even a park crust. We killed that prior.
- 56:54Speaker 3: That's what I thought.
- 56:55Speaker 2: We killed that priore the eleventh episode after meeting the
- 56:58Speaker 2: or the eleventh episode of The or i Ark out
- 57:01Speaker 2: of out of forty we killed the prior. It was
- 57:04Speaker 2: it was in the two part the season finale, the
- 57:07Speaker 2: mid the mid season finale stuff. We killed that prior.
- 57:10Speaker 2: We killed him on on the the Soden planet.
- 57:13Speaker 3: We killed him dead.
- 57:14Speaker 2: He's dead, so like Cuba, can he make a pist
- 57:17Speaker 2: if he's dead? He was a pie crest if he's dead.
- 57:20Speaker 2: And then I did love seeing the prior at the
- 57:23Speaker 2: start get killed because that's obviously the prior from like
- 57:26Speaker 2: the very start. So it's really sad the priors to yeah, yeah,
- 57:31Speaker 2: what do you mean my.
- 57:31Speaker 4: Best Well, I mean like he's the most interesting because
- 57:34Speaker 4: you saw him before he was a prior, when he
- 57:35Speaker 4: was just that, like you know.
- 57:37Speaker 2: I feel like he's the most hateable as well, like
- 57:39Speaker 2: you because he's just so belligerent and and he really
- 57:42Speaker 2: believes like he's.
- 57:43Speaker 1: Yeah, because he was before he became a prior. And
- 57:46Speaker 1: then afterwards and you're like fanatic, yeah, fanatical, and they've
- 57:51Speaker 1: fanatical with powers.
- 57:52Speaker 2: But then there, but then there was a weird moment
- 57:54Speaker 2: at the end when the ark is opened and we
- 57:56Speaker 2: do the cut around to all the priors looking into
- 58:00Speaker 2: their glowing stars. There's a shot of the four ari
- 58:05Speaker 2: I ships that are that are firing on the Odyssey.
- 58:08Speaker 2: It cuts inside one of them to one of the
- 58:10Speaker 2: priors sitting like in the in the command chair or whatever,
- 58:14Speaker 2: and it looks like that guy from like the side profile.
- 58:18Speaker 2: It looks like and it could just it could just
- 58:21Speaker 2: be he that was they used the guy's stand in
- 58:24Speaker 2: just for that one shot or they just conveniently sort
- 58:26Speaker 2: of looked similar, but I'm hoping it's not the same
- 58:29Speaker 2: the same prior and they managed to like bring him
- 58:32Speaker 2: back to life on Dakar or something.
- 58:36Speaker 4: On that scene. How about round of applause to Jerry
- 58:40Speaker 4: Goldsmith for the music and that scene. It's just like
- 58:43Speaker 4: Majestic and.
- 58:46Speaker 2: The combinations.
- 58:48Speaker 4: They used a real orchestra for this instead of just
- 58:50Speaker 4: the because you.
- 58:52Speaker 2: Can totally tell it was just Yeah, normally Jerry's just
- 58:55Speaker 2: stuck with just like he's just got a keyboard and
- 58:57Speaker 2: just like okay, I'll switch it over to the trombone
- 58:59Speaker 2: and now I'll switch over to the violin sounds.
- 59:01Speaker 4: And so yeah, we're in that predictable piano like the dirt.
- 59:04Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, that prior was was I like the pride
- 59:11Speaker 5: with the eye that's offed up, But yeah, I like
- 59:14Speaker 5: that because general I call him laundry that I forget
- 59:17Speaker 5: that room when he's just like, go ahead and light
- 59:22Speaker 5: yourself on fire.
- 59:25Speaker 4: The whole movie.
- 59:26Speaker 2: Yeah, I did notice that the prior seemed to have
- 59:29Speaker 2: less face stuff this time, less of like the markings
- 59:33Speaker 2: and the bits and pieces this time.
- 59:34Speaker 3: I noticed.
- 59:35Speaker 2: I guess Cooper just going to afford it because he
- 59:37Speaker 2: keeps putting budget properly.
- 59:39Speaker 1: So yeah, and obviously that prior come back from the start,
- 59:43Speaker 1: but also I forget the character's name or what his
- 59:46Speaker 1: role is, but yeah, Julian Sands and him coming back,
- 59:52Speaker 1: and then like he obviously gets some stuff to say
- 59:54Speaker 1: during but then at the end where the ark gets
- 59:57Speaker 1: opened in front of him and he sees the light
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: and he says nothing after he just cries, and I'm like,
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: holy shit, that's actually that's I think that's so much
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: more powerful, the idea that like he he's been overseeing
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: so much more stuff than any random Pride or Toman
- 1:00:14Speaker 1: felt bad until came to have it one on one
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: with him. And we feel that because we saw Toman
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: kind of before he really got involved, but we knew
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: that he'd always believed in stuff or whatever. But this
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: guy has been there since well maybe not day dot,
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: but he's been there a long time. And then the
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: Pope just sitting there just thinking of the millions of
- 1:00:33Speaker 1: lives that he's probably ended, and that he will never
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: be able to let that.
- 1:00:37Speaker 8: Like I don't know.
- 1:00:39Speaker 2: I love that he's always been so stiff and obviously
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: because he can't walk because of that weird stud.
- 1:00:46Speaker 3: He keeps that though, like you know, well with us no,
- 1:00:50Speaker 3: well maybe not the actor.
- 1:00:50Speaker 4: But you know, I was just gonna make a joke.
- 1:00:52Speaker 4: All you could do is like take a walk and
- 1:00:54Speaker 4: then no, oh my.
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: God, yep. What I did love though, is he's so
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: uh presentation and fearful and strong. The way he walks,
- 1:01:12Speaker 2: everything's with purpose and he's you know. But then when
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: Aria shows up, the just the way he drops to
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: the ground, just with the weight and the quickness that
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: he is so quick to get on his knees in
- 1:01:23Speaker 2: front of her. I found that really powerful.
- 1:01:25Speaker 3: I was like, whoa, I mean, anyone in this room
- 1:01:29Speaker 3: who wouldn't.
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: Well, that's more Marenda backer and things.
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: That's exactly what I'm saying my religions. Miranda Backeran walks
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: in the room burning sensation is not going.
- 1:01:38Speaker 2: To stuff you, is it?
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:01:43Speaker 5: I think it's really interesting, Like how Adria, even though
- 1:01:47Speaker 5: she's like this all powerful, all the Oriye power got
- 1:01:49Speaker 5: transferred to her, how she still like won't kill Valla. Yeah,
- 1:01:53Speaker 5: like you know, it's at the end of the day,
- 1:01:55Speaker 5: it's her, it's her mom mom.
- 1:01:57Speaker 8: But I don't know.
- 1:01:58Speaker 5: I feel like if I don't know, I think she's
- 1:02:01Speaker 5: so far off the cliff. I'm surprised she didn't just
- 1:02:03Speaker 5: end her because every single time she's let her go,
- 1:02:06Speaker 5: it ended up being really bad for her, Like the
- 1:02:09Speaker 5: humans will up anything that she was doing.
- 1:02:11Speaker 2: So I was curious about the logistics there because it's
- 1:02:16Speaker 2: like we quote n Well Daniel and well the team
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: quote unquote killed the or I a couple of episodes
- 1:02:24Speaker 2: like that was back in the Shroud, and then it
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: wasn't until Dominion, so and we know the or I
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: were killed, So it wasn't until Dominion that that Adria ascended.
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: So where was all that power in the meantime? So
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: it's like, was there just there was no ori I
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: for a couple of months or something like that. What
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: happened to that power? Is it just sitting there waiting
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: for her to be claimed or was it did it disappear,
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: and then only by her ascending did was she able
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: to go and claim it based based on the belief
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: of all the people in that galaxy, because remember she
- 1:02:58Speaker 2: ascended in our galaxy as well. So yeah, so there
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: was a lot of questions there. I had probably better
- 1:03:06Speaker 2: that they went unanswered and you just kind of accept
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: it for what it is.
- 1:03:09Speaker 4: But all I'm saying is, if you get a Ferrari,
- 1:03:12Speaker 4: you're gonna you're gonna take a while before you're confident
- 1:03:15Speaker 4: enough to drive it really really fast.
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: True.
- 1:03:20Speaker 3: True, she would have wait until Carter's hair grows out
- 1:03:22Speaker 3: before she gets and mess her right up.
- 1:03:28Speaker 2: The only other thing I wanted to mention is Mitchie
- 1:03:31Speaker 2: referenced before about the little preview you saw for Continue Continuum.
- 1:03:37Speaker 2: In the audio commentary or maybe some trivia somewhere, they
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: mentioned that apparently there was going to be a post
- 1:03:43Speaker 2: credits scene in Arc of Truth and it was actually
- 1:03:48Speaker 2: going to be the Tokrah calling suc and saying we
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: have the last bar come, and.
- 1:03:55Speaker 4: That would have made so much sense, Like that's why
- 1:03:57Speaker 4: then didn't do it?
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: Tie yet?
- 1:03:59Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 1:03:59Speaker 2: Well his excuse was, oh, the show already had too
- 1:04:02Speaker 2: many endings.
- 1:04:03Speaker 5: We don't have enough money.
- 1:04:05Speaker 3: Yeah, it's more like I didn't rate that one.
- 1:04:08Speaker 2: So Ellen, have you seen Continuum? No?
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, sweet see, I'm I've went I've went into
- 1:04:19Speaker 1: this or looking ahead to ARCA of Truth and the
- 1:04:23Speaker 1: Arc of Truth knowing about that and Continuum, knowing that
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: I love Continuum so much more than the Arc of Truth. Yes,
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: And then I watched The Arc of Truth last night,
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: and I think maybe because I've watched it so close
- 1:04:36Speaker 1: to watching SG one season ten, which maybe I didn't
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: when it first came out. By the time we got
- 1:04:41Speaker 1: that DVD on our shelves in Australia, it might have
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: been a year two years since i'd seen season ten,
- 1:04:47Speaker 1: So it was like, ah, that was a bit. It
- 1:04:50Speaker 1: was just the same stories last time, but like the
- 1:04:52Speaker 1: next ending as opposed to Continuum, which is something completely
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: different than the area story. So I know that i've
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: I've really live that and because of the other element.
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: And I won't go into exactly what makes Continuum continuum
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: for Ellen, but yeah, I'm excited though, because I liked
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: the Arc of Truth watching it last night more than
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: I remember liking it. So I hopefully come to watch Continuum.
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: I hope I get that again. Yeah, I hope they
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: don't meet in the middle byking the Arc of Truth
- 1:05:19Speaker 1: more and lacking Continuum less.
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I remember.
- 1:05:21Speaker 3: I remember.
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: I was definitely in a minority because I remember because
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: they came out within a few months of each other.
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: I think Ark of Truth and Continuum I can't quite remember,
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: but I do remember after watching Arc of Truth the
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: first time, really really enjoying it because it gave me
- 1:05:38Speaker 2: the closure to the are I storyline that I didn't
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: And then I watched Continuum and I was like, oh,
- 1:05:46Speaker 2: it's just like another episode of the Week type thing.
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: You're right, actually six months Well, I've got initial release
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: eleventh of March two thousand and eight for the Arc
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: of Truth and twenty ninth of July two thousand.
- 1:05:58Speaker 3: And eight for Continue. Say the first one again, the
- 1:06:01Speaker 3: eleventh of March.
- 1:06:03Speaker 2: Yeah, two thousand and eight.
- 1:06:04Speaker 1: Yeah, both two thousand and eight, and second one just
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: after that anniversary of SG one.
- 1:06:10Speaker 2: That's a full year after Unending, I've got down. Unending's
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: original airing date was the thirteenth of March two thousand
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: and seven.
- 1:06:17Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, interesting, that makes it because it feels it
- 1:06:21Speaker 1: feels like it's like closer to that, right, like in
- 1:06:24Speaker 1: a story aside from then them saying, oh, this takes
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: place before.
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: So that I mean that does explain Carter's hair. Yeah,
- 1:06:30Speaker 2: she she had time to do it. But yeah, so
- 1:06:33Speaker 2: I remember liking Ark of Truth more the first time
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: I saw it then the first time I saw Continuum,
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: But the more I watched them both, the more I
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: enjoyed Continuum. And yeah, Ellen, just so you've got some
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: Just so you've got some context without spoilers, is the
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: premise of Continuum is the tokracall SG one and say
- 1:06:52Speaker 2: we found the last ball, come and watch just kill
- 1:06:54Speaker 2: him and then hilarity, Like then the story goes from there.
- 1:06:58Speaker 5: So that's that's kind of that was supposed to be
- 1:07:00Speaker 5: the end credit.
- 1:07:01Speaker 2: That was going to be the post credit scene.
- 1:07:03Speaker 4: We just never see it and then it's like, oh,
- 1:07:05Speaker 4: and then we just have to catch up to them, like, oh,
- 1:07:07Speaker 4: we're on our way to go, you know. But see,
- 1:07:09Speaker 4: what I think is going to happen is since we
- 1:07:11Speaker 4: have to watch all of season four of Atlantis before
- 1:07:14Speaker 4: we get to that in the continuity, I think then
- 1:07:17Speaker 4: what's going to happen after that is you're going to
- 1:07:19Speaker 4: be like you're going to be like, oh, time to
- 1:07:20Speaker 4: watch Continuum now, and then you're like, oh, these are
- 1:07:23Speaker 4: my characters again.
- 1:07:24Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to.
- 1:07:25Speaker 4: Be exciting and fun, you know, because there's that gap
- 1:07:27Speaker 4: where there might not have been as much you know.
- 1:07:30Speaker 5: Yeah, I wish they kept that end credit scene in there,
- 1:07:34Speaker 5: because like, that was one of my questions I had
- 1:07:36Speaker 5: for Jacob when we finish. I was like, well, what
- 1:07:38Speaker 5: the happened to Ball? Yeah, So I hope Continuum addresses.
- 1:07:42Speaker 4: Some of that. It's not the only time they do that,
- 1:07:44Speaker 4: because they apparently can the scene that would have set
- 1:07:47Speaker 4: up Universe really yeah, they were like, hey, we found
- 1:07:52Speaker 4: in the Atlantis database, we found the ninth Chevron.
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: That would make sense because, yeah, I found the first
- 1:07:59Speaker 2: time I watched Universe, especially for those first few episodes,
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: you're like you're playing catch up, you going what is
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: this thing? What is this planet? What is this thing?
- 1:08:06Speaker 2: What is this element? What is you know, all these
- 1:08:08Speaker 2: kind of things. So yeah, yeah, a little bit more
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: context would have been good.
- 1:08:13Speaker 3: Now that I'm just googling stuff.
- 1:08:14Speaker 1: Thank you, Holly, I've found something which I genuinely I
- 1:08:18Speaker 1: knew that We talked about the fact they wanted to
- 1:08:20Speaker 1: keep doing movies. Yeah, I know nothing about beyond Stargate Continuum.
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: So as I've googled the release dates for the Arc
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: of Truth and Continuum, it comes up twenty ten Stargate Revolution.
- 1:08:32Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, what's that? And it opens up and
- 1:08:36Speaker 1: it talks about what the third film would have been.
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: Well, see you and before before you get into.
- 1:08:42Speaker 1: But I won't go into too many details because Ellen
- 1:08:44Speaker 1: hasn't seen Continuum.
- 1:08:45Speaker 3: But it's already and very angry that we didn't get this.
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: Before you say, I remember you and I Back in
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: twenty thirteen or twenty fourteen, we got to interview Joe
- 1:08:54Speaker 2: Flanagan when he came here for a con con for
- 1:08:57Speaker 2: Super and he told us the third movie was going
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: to be a Atlantis move movie, and it was going
- 1:09:05Speaker 2: to be and it was going to be called Extinction,
- 1:09:08Speaker 2: and it was going to be the wrap up of
- 1:09:10Speaker 2: the Atlanta Store of the Atlantis story. Huh post post
- 1:09:14Speaker 2: Enemy at the Gate.
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: Maybe they maybe they shelved this idea and then had
- 1:09:19Speaker 1: a new idea for a third Give it to me.
- 1:09:21Speaker 2: I've not heard. Was it Revolution?
- 1:09:23Speaker 3: Stargate Revolution? Yeah, yeah, I create.
- 1:09:26Speaker 2: Are you able to read spoiling anything for ellen.
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: Other than just people. But you know, I mean, just
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: block your ears for a second if if you don't
- 1:09:35Speaker 1: want to potential Okay, fair enough, that's true. I mean
- 1:09:39Speaker 1: I haven't seen universe, so I don't know what you
- 1:09:40Speaker 1: could possibly mean. But at the same time, Stargate Revolution,
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: previously known as Project Terzo, was the production name of
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: the third movie based in the SG one series, which
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: had been announced by Joseph Malotzi on his weblog. It
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: was to be written by Brad Wright and Carl Binder
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: and would have been directed by Martin Wood. A preliminary
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: beat sheet in vert of Commerce had been put by
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: Carl Binder. Now Richard Dean Anderson Ameda Tapping, Christopher Judge
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: and Michael Shanks were a star in the film. According
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: to Right, the film would have centered on the Jack
- 1:10:08Speaker 1: O'Neil character. Claudia Black would not have returned as Vallomort
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: Malduran and Ben Browner and bow Bridges were not approached.
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: Sargate Revolution has been shelved indefinitely since obviously old language
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: being used from at the time that it has rather
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: than had and they never picked it up. But yeah,
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: the idea of that because I've I think I've spoken.
- 1:10:29Speaker 3: To you guys before.
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: We've all thought about different ideas of how they could
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: bring back Stargate, Like what could they what could it
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: be about? You know, it would it be more of
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: an SGC thing like Season nine and ten were supposed
- 1:10:40Speaker 1: to be, or you know, would it be a soft
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: free boot. Would it be just a direct sequel in
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: the sense that we pick it up and it's like
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: nothing's ever changed or whatever. But I always had an
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: idea of it'd probably be more of an episode, but
- 1:10:50Speaker 1: it was like it would have been a real dark
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: sort of story for O'Neil, but it would have been
- 1:10:55Speaker 1: very much about him and the idea that maybe you know,
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: he got to some point where has it all been
- 1:11:01Speaker 1: worth it? Had they made enough of a difference or something,
- 1:11:03Speaker 1: and that you know, not necessarily an ancient, but some
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: some being that.
- 1:11:08Speaker 3: Has this you know, has uber power in the universe.
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: Or whatever, basically would take him back and show what
- 1:11:12Speaker 1: things would have been like without him, and that everything
- 1:11:16Speaker 1: in his life had to happen the way that it
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: did happen, Otherwise, you know, Earth would have been messed
- 1:11:19Speaker 1: up because it would have messed with his place in it.
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: And I don't know what was so dark about my
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: thoughts at the time, but the idea that he would
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: be there standing outside the house knowing that his son
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: was inside about to pick up a handgun and accidentally
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: and that he would have to allow that to happen
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: so that the earth would be saved, and it would
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: never happen. They would never do it. And I don't
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: want to see Richard Dean Anderson. I wouldn't have liked
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: to have seen him have to have, you know, acted
- 1:11:44Speaker 1: through that.
- 1:11:45Speaker 2: But I'm just like, yeah, let's let's just stick with
- 1:11:47Speaker 2: there's no fish in or this fish in the point right.
- 1:11:50Speaker 3: I don't know what was going through my head. I've
- 1:11:52Speaker 3: honestly had that thought.
- 1:11:53Speaker 4: Of Christmas story or a Christmas carroc.
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: Like, and I can, I can before anyone's legitimately goes
- 1:12:03Speaker 1: I'm just you know, plagiarizing. So I've never I mean,
- 1:12:06Speaker 1: I would have seen there's a thousand different Christmas movies
- 1:12:09Speaker 1: that have been ripped off that classic.
- 1:12:10Speaker 2: That would that would mean Sophie's choice looks like a
- 1:12:12Speaker 2: wrong fe I.
- 1:12:14Speaker 3: Don't know why.
- 1:12:14Speaker 1: I don't know why I've ever thought, but it would
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: have been more of an episode right that, like at
- 1:12:17Speaker 1: the end of the episode, he's still sitting at his desk.
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: He sort of wakes up, comes to from what he
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: thinks is almost like a vision, and he's a little
- 1:12:24Speaker 1: bit more like, you know, not it doesn't change because
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: it's O'Neil, but he's almost like just that two percent
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: more satisfied with his place and his efforts, knowing that, yeah,
- 1:12:32Speaker 1: we're still fighting the Gould or we're still fighting the Ari,
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: depending on when this would have taken place, going, yeah,
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: but we're still here doing it.
- 1:12:38Speaker 3: That's the point.
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: And you know what, I'm still here and I'm still
- 1:12:41Speaker 1: making the choices that I believe are right. And I'm
- 1:12:44Speaker 1: only here doing that because of these awful things that
- 1:12:46Speaker 1: have happened, and no, we can't change them. We've had
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: time travel and we've learned that we can't mess with it.
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: But even if I would have just taken myself out
- 1:12:54Speaker 1: of the equation early on all those bad things and
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: I get to save Charlie, well then the world's end
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: like three years later when we get to Abidos and
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: I'm not there to make that particular call. Some other
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: some other colonel was and he's not me yeah, I
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: don't know.
- 1:13:07Speaker 2: I'll have to mention it because otherwise people will clicking
- 1:13:09Speaker 2: into my dms. But there is an episode of the
- 1:13:11Speaker 2: original series, The Wind Window, The Journey, The Edge of
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: Forever whatever, where yeah, Kirk and Spoco back in time,
- 1:13:18Speaker 2: he falls in love with this woman and has to
- 1:13:20Speaker 2: let her get hit by a car or something like that. So,
- 1:13:23Speaker 2: but yours is way darker because it's like watching your
- 1:13:25Speaker 2: son off himself with your gun.
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: We don't have to watch it, but well it happens, like, hey,
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: you can walk inside and stop this from happening. And
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: again that's honestly, that's it's disgusting.
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: But well, just because you know, like and Jack would
- 1:13:37Speaker 2: know how it affected him, because it's like in the
- 1:13:39Speaker 2: film we see how broken of a man Kurt Russell
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: is because of that. So do you imagine having to
- 1:13:47Speaker 2: let that happen, knowing the psychological toll it would take,
- 1:13:51Speaker 2: Like you've already lived that.
- 1:13:52Speaker 3: Part and his wife like they still very much like
- 1:13:54Speaker 3: they loved each other.
- 1:13:54Speaker 1: We saw that episode that they loved each other, they
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: just couldn't be with each other because of that history.
- 1:13:59Speaker 3: So off, Yeah, well really brought it down to the
- 1:14:02Speaker 3: end of all list.
- 1:14:03Speaker 2: Well, bring it up ready with the last thing that
- 1:14:07Speaker 2: the trifecta. I guess of what of what Cooper tried
- 1:14:09Speaker 2: to redo again in this episode of this movie Macaroon?
- 1:14:18Speaker 3: I know that was one of those things. Did you could?
- 1:14:20Speaker 1: You could absolutely predict that as soon as she brings
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: a box and I'm like, oh, yeah, it's gonna be macaron.
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: Yeah, Leo Leonardo DiCaprio mean yeah, I thought this is
- 1:14:28Speaker 2: gonna be Yeah. How do you feel, like, yeah, how
- 1:14:32Speaker 2: do you feel about the kiss? Well, he'd be confused
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: because he'd want a macaron. Yeah, that'd be the problem.
- 1:14:38Speaker 2: How do you wait?
- 1:14:39Speaker 5: Who says math? Who says it?
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: No?
- 1:14:41Speaker 4: No, No, they had a fight because they do know
- 1:14:44Speaker 4: the difference between the man they didn't because yeah, because
- 1:14:47Speaker 4: we went because.
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: They didn't know the difference between you'll have to watch
- 1:14:51Speaker 2: what was episode? Was it? Was it Bounty?
- 1:14:54Speaker 6: Yeah?
- 1:14:54Speaker 2: Maybe, yeah, you'll have to listen because I had to
- 1:14:56Speaker 2: teach I had to teach mentioned Brendan the difference between
- 1:14:59Speaker 2: a macaroon and a macaro on.
- 1:15:01Speaker 3: They didn't know, no, because they're poor education, right man?
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: Yeah they did, they didn't. They knew macaron because that's
- 1:15:07Speaker 2: quite common here. But macaroons aren't very common here, so
- 1:15:11Speaker 2: they just thought that was our pronunciation of it, because
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: we also pronounced maron maroon or the no maroon maron,
- 1:15:17Speaker 2: so that that's kind of where their brains went. Oh
- 1:15:21Speaker 2: got it?
- 1:15:21Speaker 5: Okay, well, I guess that makes sense.
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: The former president I brought in some macarons? Did I
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: bring in some macarons? But did I just bring in
- 1:15:29Speaker 2: those those coconut macaroons?
- 1:15:31Speaker 3: I don't remember. I still don't remember the difference, mate.
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: So macaroons a coconut, right and with chocolate, and then
- 1:15:37Speaker 2: macarns are like the little French puffy ones with the
- 1:15:40Speaker 2: creamy stuff.
- 1:15:41Speaker 3: They're the ones I'm familiar with.
- 1:15:42Speaker 5: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, blah yeah, you.
- 1:15:47Speaker 3: Just throw it in anyway, I am.
- 1:15:54Speaker 2: Due.
- 1:15:54Speaker 5: Did you know she's a she's a lefty? But then
- 1:15:57Speaker 5: so her watch in Oatruth is on her right hand,
- 1:16:00Speaker 5: which means she's a lefty.
- 1:16:01Speaker 2: I've never noticed that.
- 1:16:02Speaker 5: But her hair clip is put on her left side,
- 1:16:04Speaker 5: which is you usually use your opposite hand to put
- 1:16:07Speaker 5: it on. So I'm like, is she ready? Is she
- 1:16:08Speaker 5: a lefty? Because then when she's using the gun, she's
- 1:16:11Speaker 5: she's alrighty.
- 1:16:12Speaker 2: Well, I she could be like me, could be in
- 1:16:15Speaker 2: Australian that I don't because I'm predominantly right. I'm a
- 1:16:18Speaker 2: little bit ambidexterous, Like I can play pool left handed
- 1:16:21Speaker 2: or right handed, but I right.
- 1:16:25Speaker 4: That was my dog.
- 1:16:27Speaker 2: Well, it depends on the size if I need both
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: hands or not.
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: You guys didn't have to fill in for Brandan in
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: all aspects today, like all the filter jokes have come
- 1:16:35Speaker 1: from from your corner.
- 1:16:36Speaker 2: I right right handed. I eat left handed, but I
- 1:16:41Speaker 2: wear my watch on my right hand, even though I
- 1:16:44Speaker 2: write with my right hand as well.
- 1:16:46Speaker 5: Oh well, we talked about We talked about this when
- 1:16:50Speaker 5: you were here, Matt, because didn't you tell me I
- 1:16:51Speaker 5: eat wrong?
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: Like I what's wrong? No, no, not wrong. I just
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: said she eats left handed and she's like, no, I don't.
- 1:16:59Speaker 2: Because I had to teach you the between left handed writing,
- 1:17:02Speaker 2: eating and right handed eating.
- 1:17:04Speaker 4: We had to teach you the difference between left hand
- 1:17:06Speaker 4: driving and right hand driving as well.

- 1:17:19Speaker 2: the word for correct doesn't isn't the same word as
- 1:17:22Speaker 2: the opposite of left.
- 1:17:25Speaker 4: Yeah, but the ancient thought the word was ironic.
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: Yeah, you can do whatever you like, you guys. You
- 1:17:31Speaker 2: guys still write your date wrong and you still use
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: the imperial system, so you know, you guys areway.
