Episode 334: 'Cloverdale' (SG-U 2.05) · Get Into Gate: A Stargate Podcast

0:17
Speaker 1: Get into Gate episode 334, talking some Stargate universe. I'm Mitch,
0:25
Speaker 1: the guy that sounds a little bit like me, apparently.
0:27
Speaker 1: That's Brendan. Hello. I'm Mitchell. I told you. And the
0:32
Speaker 1: other guy, Matthew, who sounds nothing like me. Wait, wait, wait.
0:36
Speaker 2: I just had a mind blank.
0:37
Speaker 3: Hold on, hold on.
0:39
Speaker 4: I said, oh, here we go. I said, Bert, it's
0:43
Speaker 4: cold in here. There must be some Cloverdale in the atmosphere.
0:48
Speaker 4: I said, Bert, it's cold in here. There must be
0:53
Speaker 4: some Cloverdale in the atmosphere. I said, O-E-O-E-O, ice, ice, ice,
1:00
Speaker 4: bring it down.
1:00
Speaker 5: Ba-na-na-na-na-na-na-na.
1:02
Speaker 2: Ba-na-na-na-na-na-na. Okay, I'm done.
1:05
Speaker 1: We've had a lot of sugar before tonight's episode.
1:07
Speaker 2: Just a little bit.
1:09
Speaker 1: Pretty clear. Yeah, we're talking Clover Day.
1:14
Speaker 6: Episode five of season two of SGU. I've had to
1:19
Speaker 6: go to the old stargate.fandom.com for the synopsis here.
1:24
Speaker 1: It reads as such.
1:26
Speaker 6: Lieutenant Matthew Scott is infected by an alien orgasm.
1:29
Speaker 1: Sorry, alien organism and starts hallucinating.
1:33
Speaker 6: The off-world team must find a way to cure him
1:36
Speaker 6: or they will have to leave him behind, fearing a
1:39
Speaker 6: spread of.
1:42
Speaker 2: I wonder if that's how they got the idea, because technically,
1:45
Speaker 2: when he's in bed with Chloe, there's an alien orgasm.
1:49
Speaker 3: Spores everywhere. That's hot.
1:52
Speaker 1: Written by.
1:52
Speaker 2: All that blue waffle going up his arm.
1:55
Speaker 1: We've all had that.
1:56
Speaker 2: Elbow deep.
1:57
Speaker 1: Brad....
1:59
Speaker 7: Right.
2:00
Speaker 3: What?
2:01
Speaker 1: And directed by Alex Chappell.
2:04
Speaker 2: Chappie.
2:05
Speaker 1: But I'm going to call him Chappie.
2:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, Chappie.
2:06
Speaker 1: Because when my screen was zoomed out, that L looked
2:09
Speaker 1: a little bit like an I. So Alex Chappie.
2:12
Speaker 7: And also the lowest ranked episode in Stargate Universe.
2:17
Speaker 2: I had the same thing written down.
2:19
Speaker 1: Look, I haven't seen the rest, but I'm rubber stamping that. Yeah.
2:25
Speaker 2: It is a real shame to have Brad come back
2:27
Speaker 2: to write this episode and then it to be the
2:31
Speaker 2: lowest rated of this series.
2:32
Speaker 3: The closest was Life where Chloe doing yoga.
2:36
Speaker 2: Life, oh life.
2:38
Speaker 3: In season one.
2:39
Speaker 4: Oh life.
2:41
Speaker 3: And pain.
2:43
Speaker 7: Where they all pretended that they had fears.
2:49
Speaker 1: The irony.
2:50
Speaker 2: The irony because I was in pain watching this episode.
2:52
Speaker 2: You want to hear some.
2:54
Speaker 3: Reviews on IMDb?
2:55
Speaker 2: Oh, let's hear Mitchie's first.
2:59
Speaker 4: Yeah.
2:59
Speaker 6: Some of these are so good. I think we've already
3:01
Speaker 6: said it by saying it's a lot. It just felt weird.
3:03
Speaker 6: Like as it's going on, I'm like, hang on, is
3:04
Speaker 6: this going to be the whole episode?
3:06
Speaker 8: Yeah.
3:07
Speaker 1: And again, you kind.
3:08
Speaker 6: Of want the episode to tell you what it's about
3:10
Speaker 6: and how it's all going to play out. But as
3:13
Speaker 6: it's going on and in both stories, I mean, I
3:17
Speaker 6: guess more so the dreamscape thing, I'm like, well, this doesn't,
3:22
Speaker 6: it's got to hit another couple of steps to tell
3:25
Speaker 6: this narrative, right?
3:27
Speaker 1: Like of the wedding and all that sort of stuff.
3:29
Speaker 6: You know, we're not going to back out, like, the
3:30
Speaker 6: morning after the Bucks party and go, well, that made sense, right?
3:33
Speaker 3: Like, see?
3:35
Speaker 1: See how relevant that is to what's– no.
3:37
Speaker 6: So as it's going, I'm like, Jesus Christ, we're getting
3:39
Speaker 6: to 30 minutes, 35 minutes. I'm like, hang on, what's
3:42
Speaker 6: going to be the takeaway from this episode? Because I'm
3:45
Speaker 6: like a couple of minutes out from the end, and
3:47
Speaker 6: I'm like, is this whole thing him just going– Actually,
3:51
Speaker 6: I don't think I want to be with Chloe anymore
3:53
Speaker 6: because that was like a bedtime chat that we had
3:55
Speaker 6: for about eight seconds in last week's episode. And really,
3:58
Speaker 6: once it was finished, no audience member thought, well, this
4:01
Speaker 6: needs to be explored in a dreamlike scene or episode
4:06
Speaker 6: in a week's time. So I sat there just thinking
4:09
Speaker 6: the whole time, like, what is going to be the
4:11
Speaker 6: takeout from this?
4:12
Speaker 1: Why are we doing this?
4:14
Speaker 2: I had similar thoughts. I sort of thought... I think, yeah,
4:17
Speaker 2: the ending was really kind of a nothing burger and
4:21
Speaker 2: I felt like what would have helped is if they'd
4:24
Speaker 2: had the scene afterwards, like even when Young was like,
4:27
Speaker 2: all right, well, Chloe, go tell him what happened because
4:29
Speaker 2: now you're both quarantined because you're both, you know, compromised.
4:34
Speaker 2: I think they should have had the conversation where it
4:36
Speaker 2: feels like, honestly, I could not tell you whether Chloe
4:40
Speaker 2: and Scott stay together or not, but it feels like
4:43
Speaker 2: the end of this story should have been them breaking up. Like,
4:48
Speaker 2: I feel like the one thing I will say is
4:51
Speaker 2: what I really, really liked is the visual of the
4:56
Speaker 2: intercutting between the wedding and the blood transfusion.
5:00
Speaker 1: Yeah.
5:01
Speaker 2: And the, the overlay of the vows as the bloods go,
5:04
Speaker 2: it was a really nice sort of visual and kind
5:07
Speaker 2: of a nice dichotomy of, of like, I think it
5:12
Speaker 2: would have been nicer. It's like, had they broken up
5:14
Speaker 2: at the end of this episode, they're still forever bonded
5:18
Speaker 2: because it's like her blood is in him. You know
5:21
Speaker 2: what I mean?
5:21
Speaker 3: Like my blood.
5:22
Speaker 1: Yeah.
5:23
Speaker 2: They will always have that bond. And like, she, you know,
5:25
Speaker 2: was willing to sacrifice herself to, to save him. So
5:30
Speaker 2: he doesn't like, they're almost beyond this. Like, even if
5:32
Speaker 2: they do break up, they can still, you know, they'll
5:35
Speaker 2: still be a very important part of each other's life.
5:37
Speaker 2: And I feel like that's, that should have been what
5:40
Speaker 2: the takeaway was for this episode, but it kind of
5:43
Speaker 2: just ended on a nothing.
5:44
Speaker 3: Yeah.
5:45
Speaker 6: Like, If that happens, you know, they have a scene
5:49
Speaker 6: and she's there going, oh, my God, I was refusing
5:53
Speaker 6: to leave to the point where I went off and
5:56
Speaker 6: were like, infect me so I can't leave.
5:59
Speaker 1: Bugger everyone.
6:00
Speaker 6: And he's going to die before I'm even almost presenting.
6:04
Speaker 6: That's how much I do not want to leave his side.
6:06
Speaker 6: And then I will absolutely be dying alone. And then
6:11
Speaker 6: they get back on the ship. Everything's fine. And he
6:13
Speaker 6: wakes up and says.
6:15
Speaker 1: think we should break up she's.
6:16
Speaker 6: Like do you understand what i did for you and
6:18
Speaker 6: what i was going to do for you had things
6:19
Speaker 6: worked out differently he's like yeah but i had a
6:23
Speaker 6: dream yeah so i think i don't want to do.
6:26
Speaker 2: This anymore i'm just not that into you you're basic.
6:29
Speaker 1: Bitch My dream told me that I'm a bit of
6:32
Speaker 1: a pants man.
6:33
Speaker 2: Literally. My dream told me I still want to fuck
6:39
Speaker 2: Lieutenant James.
6:40
Speaker 1: When I say out there, my out there is very limited,
6:43
Speaker 1: but I need to get back out there. I need
6:45
Speaker 1: to go at least around the.
6:47
Speaker 6: Ship, including the old woman, and then we'll come back
6:50
Speaker 6: and we'll assess things.
6:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, I liked the rush.
6:55
Speaker 7: Married in holy matrimony and alien blood.
7:00
Speaker 2: Um speaking of it was actually interesting uh there was
7:10
Speaker 2: a little bit of um a special feature uh on
7:13
Speaker 2: brad um coming back to this episode and and you
7:15
Speaker 2: know doing bits and pieces and um this was his
7:18
Speaker 2: inspiration for the episode.
7:20
Speaker 9: When i write i i really think in terms of
7:22
Speaker 9: character first and i and i also really think of
7:25
Speaker 9: a scene or an image or a dynamic and then
7:27
Speaker 9: build up from there. And one of the first ones
7:29
Speaker 9: I had in Cloverdale was Rush as sort of Oz
7:32
Speaker 9: and Scott going to see him as the justice of
7:34
Speaker 9: the peace. The script, oddly enough, just kind of expanded
7:37
Speaker 9: outward from that point.
7:39
Speaker 2: And then Cooper arrived.
7:44
Speaker 9: Robert had kind of thrown down the gauntlet because my
7:46
Speaker 9: original concept was some sort of moss that infects him,
7:50
Speaker 9: and it's even written that way. I needed something dynamic
7:53
Speaker 9: and something interesting, because Robert was teasing me about how
7:56
Speaker 9: lame it was going to be if I didn't. And
7:58
Speaker 9: so I was typing, yeah, okay, these really cool things
8:01
Speaker 9: come flying out of the ground.
8:02
Speaker 8: Basically, it's something that bursts out of the ground and
8:05
Speaker 8: stabs at you, and there's this network of them all
8:08
Speaker 8: under the ground, like roots. The plant basically goes nuclear
8:11
Speaker 8: when we show up, and that is what is attacking
8:13
Speaker 8: us around the Stargate.
8:15
Speaker 1: Coop!
8:19
Speaker 2: So, yeah, maybe if Cooper hadn't got his little monkey
8:22
Speaker 2: mitts in this, maybe Brad could have actually, you know,
8:25
Speaker 2: because Brad is a phenomenal writer.
8:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very surprising.
8:28
Speaker 2: Like if you took out all the bullshit of the
8:33
Speaker 2: flamethrowers and the guns and the Audrey 2s and all
8:37
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff, they probably would have had the
8:38
Speaker 2: run time to explore the. The human element more and the,
8:44
Speaker 2: you know, and they would have had that runtime at
8:46
Speaker 2: the end to maybe resolve things a little bit.
8:48
Speaker 7: My favorite bits of it were the human, real human
8:51
Speaker 7: elements where they were worried that he wasn't going to
8:53
Speaker 7: make it and they were going to take off his limb.
8:56
Speaker 1: Yeah.
8:56
Speaker 7: I was like, oh, that, this actually, this has some
9:00
Speaker 7: bite to it. I want to stay here.
9:01
Speaker 2: That feels very Stargate. It feels very Stargate. You know, it's,
9:04
Speaker 2: you know, they're trapped on that planet, you know, they're
9:06
Speaker 2: trying to fall back, but. They can't let things through
9:08
Speaker 2: the gate to infect other people. Like that is Stargate
9:12
Speaker 2: at its core.
9:12
Speaker 7: I didn't mind even like the, it was, they didn't
9:16
Speaker 7: really show it how it happened practically, but keep reopening
9:19
Speaker 7: the gates to get rid of it. Because apparently it
9:21
Speaker 7: scared the monster or something.
9:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, it doesn't like the. I mean, I didn't mind that.
9:25
Speaker 2: Or it did happen to lunge at the exact moment
9:27
Speaker 2: the gate was opening to get by the cooosh. So
9:30
Speaker 2: it's like, well.
9:31
Speaker 3: Did you read the script, guys?
9:35
Speaker 10: Wait, wait.
9:36
Speaker 4: Now.
9:37
Speaker 7: So in Cloverdale, Matt Scott has his dream where he's
9:42
Speaker 7: living a completely different life. He's getting married. He wants
9:46
Speaker 7: a house, a half a dozen kids as we hear.
9:48
Speaker 7: The whole suburban fantasy.
9:51
Speaker 2: The absolute. You know that scene from um uh the
9:56
Speaker 2: power rangers with um ivan ooze welcome to my nightmare
10:00
Speaker 2: we've done.
10:02
Speaker 11: This listen listen i'm gonna marry chloe we're gonna have
10:06
Speaker 11: a half dozen kids buy a house on my dad's
10:08
Speaker 11: street we're gonna renovate it together play catch with the
10:11
Speaker 11: kids in the front yard and go to Brody's every
10:12
Speaker 11: Friday night.
10:12
Speaker 3: You can videotape the whole dang thing.
10:15
Speaker 1: Yeah, the thing is, Matt, I don't think even you
10:19
Speaker 1: believe that.
10:20
Speaker 3: It's going to be great.
10:22
Speaker 2: And the fact that he said dang at the end,
10:23
Speaker 2: the whole dang thing.
10:25
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he's passionate.
10:25
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, you can fuck a hundred birds in the ass,
10:27
Speaker 2: but you can't say damn it.
10:29
Speaker 3: Yeah. That would offend his God.
10:32
Speaker 2: Come on.
10:34
Speaker 1: God is so picky. He's so weird about the things
10:36
Speaker 1: he gets offended by. Is God the ultimate snowflake?
10:41
Speaker 2: Well, God is technically a they-them.
10:43
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, just ask them.
10:47
Speaker 7: Anyway, I must have fallen asleep while watching this episode
10:52
Speaker 7: because when I woke up.
10:53
Speaker 1: Me too, and I was driving.
10:56
Speaker 7: I was actually watching a completely different show. I don't
10:59
Speaker 7: know if you remember, guys, the classic show. forgotten 1990s
11:03
Speaker 7: sitcom called Chloe.
11:05
Speaker 3: Do you guys remember?
11:06
Speaker 1: No.
11:07
Speaker 7: Chloe, the hilarious story of one ordinary man who gets
11:10
Speaker 7: the chance to live the life he's always wanted, a
11:14
Speaker 7: life with Chloe.
11:23
Speaker 2: Whatcha gonna do?
11:28
Speaker 1: Whatcha gonna do about me?
11:34
Speaker 2: Whatcha gonna do about me?
11:37
Speaker 3: Chloe was filmed in front of a live studio audience.
11:42
Speaker 11: Damn, I thought my dad might be here.
11:49
Speaker 2: There they are.
11:50
Speaker 10: Hey, guys!
11:53
Speaker 3: What's wrong with you again?
11:56
Speaker 12: TJ!
11:56
Speaker 10: Matthew. What the hell's the matter with you?
12:04
Speaker 12: Sorry.
12:04
Speaker 10: I'm sorry.
12:06
Speaker 1: You just ran out in front of me.
12:07
Speaker 10: I'm fine. I'm fine.
12:08
Speaker 5: I'm fine.
12:08
Speaker 10: Thank God. Yeah, lucky for you.
12:10
Speaker 13: No, no, no.
12:10
Speaker 1: I was just being stupid.
12:12
Speaker 2: Mr.
12:12
Speaker 10: Rohde, don't worry about it. They bounce at this stage.
12:15
Speaker 2: Okay.
12:15
Speaker 10: Don't worry, guys.
12:17
Speaker 14: If you wind up with any.
12:18
Speaker 15: Insurance issues, Matt, I got it all on video.
12:20
Speaker 7: Okay.
12:20
Speaker 10: I wish you didn't. Oh, you must be Ronald.
12:24
Speaker 1: Oh, Dad, sorry.
12:25
Speaker 10: This is Ron, my best man. Pleasure to meet you, sir.
12:27
Speaker 10: You call me Everett. You're family now.
12:29
Speaker 11: Yes, sir.
12:29
Speaker 10: And this is Chloe's brother, Eli.
12:32
Speaker 2: Brother Elijah.
12:33
Speaker 10: Eli, actually. And I took myself out of the running
12:37
Speaker 10: for best man. I'm creating a video for.
12:40
Speaker 3: My wedding gift.
12:42
Speaker 10: Lucky for me.
12:42
Speaker 5: Where's Chloe?
12:45
Speaker 10: Something about a dress. She's going to meet you at
12:47
Speaker 10: the house. I guess I'm anxious to see her. I'll say.
12:51
Speaker 10: You know, you got yourself killed the day before your wedding.
12:53
Speaker 2: You probably ruined the whole weekend, huh?
12:57
Speaker 10: Yeah, probably. But I guess since it looks like you're
13:00
Speaker 10: going to live for another day, welcome.
13:03
Speaker 1: Home, son. That's shocking how much that actually works.
13:13
Speaker 7: Because I was watching these episodes going, it's like.
13:17
Speaker 2: They're making jokes that aren't funny.
13:20
Speaker 3: No one's laughing. I'm certainly not laughing.
13:23
Speaker 2: My visual, as I was imagining that as a sitcom,
13:27
Speaker 2: I imagined a freeze frame ending and as the crowd applauds,
13:31
Speaker 2: the credit comes up.
13:33
Speaker 3: Executive producer. Oh, shit.
13:45
Speaker 1: I didn't find anything around that one, Mitch.
13:58
Speaker 3: Well, wait for episode two later.
14:00
Speaker 6: When you said it, I was like, oh, I'm going
14:01
Speaker 6: to Google. They're actually a Chloe TV show from 2022, though. Oh,
14:05
Speaker 6: so I thought Zoe 101.
14:07
Speaker 2: On Amazon. Oh, God, not great people. It's a thriller.
14:15
Speaker 1: Now, for anyone who watched Adolescence, that four-part Netflix series from, what,
14:18
Speaker 1: earlier this year?
14:19
Speaker 2: No, no, I missed that. I watched Overcompensating.
14:23
Speaker 1: Haven't we all? She was the child psychologist in Adolescence.
14:27
Speaker 1: She was great. I think she might have won an
14:29
Speaker 1: Emmy for it or something.
14:30
Speaker 6: Anyway, Becky compares herself to the picture-perfect lives on Instagram
14:34
Speaker 6: compulsively returning to one account, Chloe's. However, when Chloe dies suddenly,
14:41
Speaker 6: Becky's need to find out how and why leads her
14:44
Speaker 6: to assume a new identity.
14:47
Speaker 2: Okay, but which Becky from Roseanne is it? Becky 1
14:50
Speaker 2: or Becky 2?
14:50
Speaker 1: Why not both? Every episode.
14:53
Speaker 6: That's what makes it a psychological thriller, is that every
14:57
Speaker 6: episode you get a different Becky.
14:58
Speaker 2: I mean, that's Roseanne.
14:59
Speaker 1: We've done this.
15:02
Speaker 2: I was thinking that it's very much.
15:06
Speaker 2: The little crystal doppelganger things from Atlantis was giving this episode,
15:13
Speaker 2: you know, where it was like the thing feeding on John's,
15:17
Speaker 2: Fear as it's like growing on his arm.
15:18
Speaker 14: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:19
Speaker 2: He's giving the changeling with Chris Judge.
15:22
Speaker 7: When we was taken over by nanites. Yeah, when we
15:25
Speaker 7: was taken over by nanites. Changeling with Chris Judge, right?
15:29
Speaker 3: Yeah.
15:29
Speaker 7: In the firehouse. It was very much like this.
15:32
Speaker 2: The reason changeling worked so well is because.
15:34
Speaker 3: It was a reason.
15:36
Speaker 2: Chris Judge knew his character so well because it was
15:38
Speaker 2: season six. And we knew the character as well. Like
15:44
Speaker 2: we care, but it's like we... We know so little
15:47
Speaker 2: about Matt in this.
15:49
Speaker 13: I don't know.
15:50
Speaker 2: I just, I was blonde. We're against looking at the
15:53
Speaker 2: Stargate from the observation room going, I don't really care.
15:56
Speaker 13: Yeah.
15:57
Speaker 3: I want to see what's happening on the ship.
15:58
Speaker 10: Yeah.
15:59
Speaker 7: That's what I actually, one thing I had written down
16:01
Speaker 7: is why is Chloe of off world?
16:04
Speaker 10: Yeah.
16:05
Speaker 8: Right.
16:06
Speaker 2: She's this kind of alien, alien love. Well, I guess
16:09
Speaker 2: at the end of last week's episode or was it like, yeah,
16:13
Speaker 2: she was in the chair and she was cured. So
16:16
Speaker 2: she was all fine now. But, yeah, it did seem
16:20
Speaker 2: a little convenient. What I thought was funny is even
16:24
Speaker 2: in Matt's, like, you know, alien-induced dreams, Eli's still just
16:29
Speaker 2: Chloe's brother.
16:30
Speaker 1: Oh, I love that. Brother Eli.
16:32
Speaker 6: I'm going to make you even, like, more impossible to
16:36
Speaker 6: be with her.
16:36
Speaker 1: Yeah. So good. So good.
16:39
Speaker 3: I was going to be best man. No, you weren't, mate.
16:42
Speaker 1: Never. Over that guy? Over that guy?
16:47
Speaker 2: What I did like, though, is I think, and again,
16:51
Speaker 2: it's probably the only sort of forward momentum we kind
16:54
Speaker 2: of got, is it does feel like by the end
16:57
Speaker 2: of this episode, I think Eli might be over Chloe.
17:00
Speaker 2: He seemed really hurt when she was willing to stay
17:03
Speaker 2: on the planet. He got all up in his feelings
17:05
Speaker 2: about it. And then we even cut back to him
17:08
Speaker 2: back on the ship and him just kind of looking
17:11
Speaker 2: through the gate and stuff. And then when they come back,
17:13
Speaker 2: he kind of just almost snubs her, gives her like
17:15
Speaker 2: a dirty look.
17:15
Speaker 1: What about when he did leave?
17:17
Speaker 2: Like, he's like, you can't just stay.
17:18
Speaker 1: She's like, I can't not stay here.
17:21
Speaker 6: And then like some other stuff happened, other scenes, we
17:23
Speaker 6: want to cut back to the ship or whatever or
17:24
Speaker 6: into the dream. And then we cut back to Eli
17:27
Speaker 6: living and he's like, See ya.
17:29
Speaker 1: Yeah.
17:29
Speaker 2: Just like that.
17:31
Speaker 3: Me and TJ are out of here.
17:34
Speaker 1: We're good.
17:34
Speaker 2: I'm like, hang on.
17:35
Speaker 6: Is that actually how you're saying goodbye to this woman
17:37
Speaker 6: that you're in love with but is also your platonic
17:39
Speaker 6: best friend?
17:39
Speaker 1: Like, obviously not.
17:41
Speaker 2: I think it would have been a really nice thing for, yeah,
17:45
Speaker 2: get rid of all the Audrey 2 shit. Have Scott
17:50
Speaker 2: come back at, you know, so there's a whole act left, basically,
17:55
Speaker 2: for him to break up with her. her to go
17:58
Speaker 2: running to Eli for comfort. And he's like, basically off. Like,
18:01
Speaker 2: he's like, you know, you don't care about me. You
18:03
Speaker 2: only care about me when Matt's not around. And now
18:06
Speaker 2: that Matt's dumped you, you come running to me. And
18:09
Speaker 2: I think that would have been an interesting thing to explore.
18:13
Speaker 2: I mean, if I know, maybe they do next week.
18:15
Speaker 2: I don't know. He had to try and escape from
18:17
Speaker 2: the friend zone.
18:21
Speaker 14: Got to get out of there, Eli.
18:23
Speaker 1: No future.
18:24
Speaker 2: There were some weird things, though. Like, I get that
18:27
Speaker 2: it was, like, an alien-induced, you know, coma, whatever. But
18:32
Speaker 2: it was, like, the weird thing with Volker trying to, like,
18:36
Speaker 2: score an invite to the wedding, like, when they run
18:39
Speaker 2: into him on the street.
18:39
Speaker 13: Oh, yeah.
18:40
Speaker 2: I was like, what?
18:42
Speaker 10: Oh, yeah.
18:43
Speaker 2: And then.
18:43
Speaker 10: We're on our way.
18:44
Speaker 2: I mean.
18:45
Speaker 3: I mean, everyone's there. Yeah.
18:48
Speaker 2: But then you didn't see him at the bachelor party,
18:50
Speaker 2: so I don't know whether he even got an invite
18:52
Speaker 2: to the bachelor party because he walked in the opposite direction.
18:54
Speaker 2: And I don't remember seeing him in the background. Then who, like,
19:00
Speaker 2: arrives in town after being, you know, leaving the army
19:03
Speaker 2: for leave or whatever, he arrives the day before his wedding,
19:08
Speaker 2: wants to go to a bachelor party. and not spend
19:11
Speaker 2: time with his fiancée, which is already a red flag
19:13
Speaker 2: right there.
19:14
Speaker 3: That's fine.
19:15
Speaker 1: No, play on. It's the bachelor party the night before
19:19
Speaker 1: the wedding.
19:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he's just been deployed in the army. He
19:22
Speaker 2: might not have seen Chloe.
19:23
Speaker 3: For the last four or five months. And she wasn't
19:24
Speaker 3: even there to meet him when.
19:25
Speaker 1: He got off the bus.
19:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was dodgy.
19:27
Speaker 1: That's a red flag.
19:28
Speaker 3: That's a red flag as well.
19:30
Speaker 2: But then also, who gets married at 7pm?
19:33
Speaker 1: There was a lot of problems there.
19:35
Speaker 2: Is that an Australian thing where we get married, like,
19:37
Speaker 2: you know, lunchtime early afternoon so that we can get
19:40
Speaker 2: onto the reception and party all night. Is that an
19:42
Speaker 2: Australian thing?
19:43
Speaker 3: I don't know.
19:43
Speaker 6: And you see some movies where they get married like really, really,
19:46
Speaker 6: really late afternoon if not early evening, and then the
19:48
Speaker 6: wedding's all wrapped up and the reception, and it's still
19:50
Speaker 6: daylight out and everyone's going home. And I'm like, that
19:52
Speaker 6: all seems weird. But that's movie land. Because, yeah, your
19:56
Speaker 6: photo's in between.
19:57
Speaker 2: Like, while everyone's going to the reception, the bride and
19:59
Speaker 2: the groom and the bridal party go and get their
20:00
Speaker 2: photos and stuff done.
20:01
Speaker 7: And wouldn't you have seen the justice of the piece before?
20:03
Speaker 7: before that day.
20:05
Speaker 1: So much, right? That's what I mean.
20:06
Speaker 6: Okay, so I'm not here saying that the whole, like, oh, superstition,
20:10
Speaker 6: if you see each other on the day of the
20:12
Speaker 6: wedding before the actual ceremony, it's bad luck or whatever.
20:15
Speaker 1: But the fact that he wakes up hungover from the
20:19
Speaker 1: bachelor party and Chloe's sitting there going, oh, did you
20:23
Speaker 1: drink that much? Oh, f * * * ing red
20:25
Speaker 1: flag already. It's his box party.
20:28
Speaker 6: She's like, oh, I know I told you to get
20:29
Speaker 6: absolutely poleaxed, but I didn't mean this. like that like
20:35
Speaker 6: brent and i've had nights out and we each get
20:37
Speaker 6: a call going um i thought you would be home
20:40
Speaker 6: by now it's like did you that sounds like a
20:43
Speaker 6: you problem like where am i in this scenario wrong
20:46
Speaker 6: other than you had a thought and you were incorrect
20:49
Speaker 6: and you didn't communicate that yeah did you ask me
20:52
Speaker 6: to be home i said no but i thought you
20:53
Speaker 6: would know that i wanted you home well.
20:55
Speaker 3: Not Despite what you think.
20:58
Speaker 1: So she's there.
20:59
Speaker 6: She's like, okay, I didn't think you were going to
21:01
Speaker 6: get this drunk. And she's like, you've got so much
21:02
Speaker 6: to do. You've got to go meet the justice of
21:04
Speaker 6: the peace at 10 o'clock. You've got to go pick
21:05
Speaker 6: up your tuxedos. I'm like, okay, that's an issue.
21:08
Speaker 1: Still getting fittings. He didn't have to pick them up.
21:10
Speaker 1: He had to get sized up.
21:12
Speaker 2: Like, what the shit's going on? Because it's his first
21:14
Speaker 2: day in town. That's what I'm saying. If he'd have
21:16
Speaker 2: been in town for three or four days, then I'm
21:18
Speaker 2: all aboard doing a Bucks party the night before your wedding.
21:21
Speaker 2: But when he's getting in at four o'clock in the afternoon,
21:24
Speaker 2: then going to a Bucks party and then getting married
21:26
Speaker 2: at seven o'clock the next night, come on.
21:29
Speaker 3: Yeah. We had two Bucksers for Mitch.
21:33
Speaker 2: Of course you did. Yeah.
21:34
Speaker 1: One was the night before.
21:35
Speaker 3: One was the night before.
21:36
Speaker 2: My lame old assistant. My lame older sister, because they
21:39
Speaker 2: don't have any friends, they had a combined Bucks and
21:41
Speaker 2: Hens night.
21:42
Speaker 3: Oh, my God. Might as well not bother.
21:45
Speaker 2: At Tenpin Bowling. And it was like Mexican themed, so
21:49
Speaker 2: there was sombreros.
21:51
Speaker 1: Because they're a bit crazy.
21:52
Speaker 4: Right?
21:53
Speaker 10: Oh, my God.
21:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you, Mitch.
21:57
Speaker 7: I found that the most scariest part of the entire episode.
22:01
Speaker 7: You might say Chloe had an obsession.
22:05
Speaker 3: Oh, God.
22:10
Speaker 15: Matt?
22:10
Speaker 1: Why did you drink so much?
22:15
Speaker 4: Isn't that what you're supposed to do at a bachelor party?
22:22
Speaker 15: That's why you do things, because you're supposed to.
22:24
Speaker 10: Oh, Jesus.
22:25
Speaker 1: It's an expression, woman.
22:29
Speaker 15: Is that why you're getting married?
22:30
Speaker 13: What? No.
22:36
Speaker 5: Why would you say that?
22:42
Speaker 15: So you're not just coming back from war to marry
22:45
Speaker 15: your high school sweetheart because you're supposed to? Because you
22:49
Speaker 15: think it's the right thing to do? Wow. You really
23:00
Speaker 15: should know the answer faster than that.
23:01
Speaker 10: Well, it.
23:03
Speaker 15: Better start working. This is your wedding day. You have
23:07
Speaker 15: to talk to the justice of the peace at 10
23:09
Speaker 15: about our vows.
23:10
Speaker 3: I don't know.
23:11
Speaker 15: You have to pick up your tuxedos.
23:12
Speaker 5: I know, Chloe.
23:16
Speaker 10: I really, really have to be.
23:30
Speaker 2: Oh, Brennan's on fire on these ones.
23:32
Speaker 3: Man, I haven't seen that movie yet.
23:34
Speaker 2: Me neither. I still haven't seen it.
23:35
Speaker 3: I want to see it so bad.
23:36
Speaker 1: Obsession.
23:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
23:40
Speaker 1: It's been out, like, to rent on digital for a while,
23:41
Speaker 1: and I'm like... I want to support it, but I
23:45
Speaker 1: will wait for it to be free.
23:47
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, God. What do you think I am? Do
23:49
Speaker 3: you know what I did on the weekend? Sick, disgusting person. I, um.
23:55
Speaker 2: I had a triple feature of the Three Ninjas movies.
23:58
Speaker 1: Okay.
23:59
Speaker 2: Now, there are four.
24:00
Speaker 3: Yeah, no one does the fourth. Didn't make it. Are
24:03
Speaker 3: you talking about the Ninja Turtles?
24:04
Speaker 2: No, Three Ninjas.
24:05
Speaker 4: Oh.
24:06
Speaker 1: Is the fourth one at high noon at Mega Mountain
24:08
Speaker 1: with Hulk Hogan?
24:10
Speaker 15: Yeah.
24:10
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, thanks.
24:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, and none of the original cast.
24:13
Speaker 6: That felt like a straight-to-DVD sequel in a franchise that
24:17
Speaker 6: was straight-to-DVD sequels.
24:18
Speaker 2: Well, the first movie was free on– Prime or Power
24:22
Speaker 2: Man or whatever.
24:23
Speaker 3: That's classic.
24:23
Speaker 2: The other two, I had to pay $ 4. 99 each to rent.
24:26
Speaker 1: Fair enough. Three Ninjas Kick Back is great.
24:29
Speaker 2: It doesn't hold up.
24:30
Speaker 1: I'm sure none of them do. Yeah, they do not
24:32
Speaker 1: hold up. I've seen clips of them recently. It's like
24:34
Speaker 1: none of them do.
24:35
Speaker 3: No.
24:35
Speaker 1: But I watched the fuck out of number two and
24:37
Speaker 1: number three.
24:38
Speaker 2: What are you talking about?
24:39
Speaker 13: Three Ninjas.
24:40
Speaker 2: The Three Ninjas Knuckle Up.
24:41
Speaker 1: Bucky, Colt and.
24:42
Speaker 7: I watched Beverly Hills Ninjas.
24:44
Speaker 1: No, Rocky.
24:44
Speaker 2: Rocky, Colt and Tum Tum.
24:45
Speaker 1: Tum Tum. I went to say Boo Boo and I
24:47
Speaker 1: knew it wasn't that, but I knew it was a
24:48
Speaker 1: double O.
24:48
Speaker 3: That's a shame.
24:50
Speaker 2: What an episode for Ming-Na not to be in.
24:52
Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
24:55
Speaker 2: Oh, what? Camille's not in this episode at all.
24:57
Speaker 5: Yeah, right.
24:58
Speaker 1: I didn't even think about that.
24:59
Speaker 2: Yeah, no Camille.
25:00
Speaker 1: I mean, no old woman either, but, you know.
25:02
Speaker 7: Was this happening? Oh, no, it wasn't because Eli's in this.
25:04
Speaker 7: Do you know the- If it was happening at the
25:07
Speaker 7: same time as last week.
25:08
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah. Oh, interesting. But it's not. No.
25:11
Speaker 2: Do you know the only bit of continuity in this
25:14
Speaker 2: entire episode that I noticed from previous episodes?
25:16
Speaker 15: Mm-hmm.
25:17
Speaker 2: Greer and the Flamethrower.
25:19
Speaker 3: Yes.
25:20
Speaker 2: Oh, didn't get a chance. He's had like four more made.
25:24
Speaker 3: Yeah.
25:24
Speaker 1: I need to get something.
25:26
Speaker 2: And he's made these. He's upgraded those.
25:28
Speaker 7: And then how did he, like, those things that they
25:31
Speaker 7: used as barricades, they're fucking heavy.
25:33
Speaker 1: Yeah.
25:34
Speaker 3: Did they have a forklift on Destiny?
25:36
Speaker 10: What the fuck?
25:37
Speaker 2: Eli's Kino sled, just one at a time.
25:41
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah, so good. I just love this. Like, we've
25:43
Speaker 1: got to get out of here. He's like, we've got
25:44
Speaker 1: three hours. He's like, no, we're leaving now. I'll build
25:47
Speaker 1: a wall. It's going to be sick. If we leave now,
25:50
Speaker 1: I don't get to get my flamethrower on, okay? You
25:53
Speaker 1: don't understand this shit. And then him walking out barking
25:55
Speaker 1: at orders. Hold on, I'm gassing it up. Yeah, and
25:57
Speaker 1: he's like, I'm going to be digging trenches through this,
26:00
Speaker 1: and I'm only putting up this. Anything else is.
26:02
Speaker 3: The kill zone.
26:03
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh.
26:04
Speaker 6: You are waiting to Jumanji this shit so bad. You're
26:06
Speaker 6: going to light this jungle on fire. I've been chomping
26:08
Speaker 6: at the bit.
26:09
Speaker 2: Do you reckon he fuels it from Brodie Still? Do
26:12
Speaker 2: you reckon that's the fuel for it? Probably.
26:13
Speaker 3: Wouldn't say no.
26:16
Speaker 2: I wonder if he makes it from the purple potatoes.
26:19
Speaker 3: Delicious.
26:20
Speaker 1: Hey, um.
26:22
Speaker 12: So.
26:23
Speaker 2: Oh, no, I was just going to. More about the
26:25
Speaker 2: Audrey 2s.
26:25
Speaker 7: Were you saying that if Cooper didn't intervene, they wouldn't
26:29
Speaker 7: have those?
26:30
Speaker 1: The plant bugs?
26:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was just going to be moths. That would
26:33
Speaker 2: have been better. Yeah, so when you.
26:35
Speaker 1: Wait a minute. Without Cooper's involvement, something might have been better? Yeah, right?
26:40
Speaker 2: I'm surprised they weren't bugs.
26:41
Speaker 1: Say it ain't so.
26:43
Speaker 2: So when you saw.
26:44
Speaker 1: They were bug-ish.
26:46
Speaker 2: When you saw the movie, when Chloe and Matt went
26:48
Speaker 2: to watch the movie, that was basically what happened. It
26:51
Speaker 2: was like a dramatised version of what happened to them.
26:53
Speaker 2: But yeah, Richard's just going to be just like a
26:54
Speaker 2: tree with moss on it instead of the weird one-eyed...
26:57
Speaker 2: I think that's better. Yeah.
26:59
Speaker 3: Because it's not like.
27:01
Speaker 3: Evil or it's not something trying to eat. It's not malicious.
27:04
Speaker 2: It's almost like the replicators are what they're meant to be. Yeah.
27:07
Speaker 3: It's kind of just they are that.
27:09
Speaker 2: Or even just the crystal thing from Doppelganger.
27:11
Speaker 3: Yeah.
27:11
Speaker 2: Where it's like when we returned it, then the whole
27:13
Speaker 2: forest lit up with thousands of them. We're like, we
27:15
Speaker 2: need to get the.
27:15
Speaker 1: Fuck out of here.
27:16
Speaker 2: Yeah. You know what I mean? Yeah.
27:19
Speaker 3: So. Well, bloody Cooper.
27:22
Speaker 2: Yeah. What have I been saying, mate? Ten years of
27:25
Speaker 2: this shit. Well, I have a present for you. So, um. Here's,
27:32
Speaker 2: let's just think of the mindset of the two, you know,
27:37
Speaker 2: people involved in creating this show. First you have Brad Wright.
27:44
Speaker 3: Number four, please.
27:49
Speaker 9: When a show like Stargate has been going on for
27:52
Speaker 9: a long time and everybody knows all the rules.
27:55
Speaker 14: I don't need to be on set all the time.
27:57
Speaker 14: I really don't. It's more important for me to be writing.
27:59
Speaker 5: I've always said that what a producer has to.
28:01
Speaker 9: Learn to do on set is not to speak up,
28:05
Speaker 9: but to shut up.
28:06
Speaker 5: Because it's never the way you had it in your head.
28:09
Speaker 9: It doesn't matter, because you have to let that go
28:12
Speaker 9: and embrace what the actors have brought, what the director
28:14
Speaker 9: is bringing to the table, because that's the collaborative television process.
28:17
Speaker 9: It's everybody's input, and most of the time, it's better.
28:22
Speaker 9: And that's a classy situation.
28:25
Speaker 2: And then just compare that to this one.
28:27
Speaker 12: Hello, I'm Robert Cooper, executive producer, co-creator, writer, director.
28:34
Speaker 1: What else did I do?
28:35
Speaker 3: Oh, but enough about me. No way.
28:39
Speaker 10: Why don't I say something about you?
28:41
Speaker 2: No, that was a replay from.
28:41
Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
28:43
Speaker 1: I was like, no. That was a replay.
28:45
Speaker 3: You can't keep doing this.
28:46
Speaker 2: That was a replay from Satita.
28:47
Speaker 1: You can't keep getting.
28:49
Speaker 2: Away with this!
28:50
Speaker 10: So, just.
28:51
Speaker 2: Just play number four for me. Just play Brad for
28:53
Speaker 2: me again, just so we can refresh everybody.
28:57
Speaker 9: When a show like Stargate has been going on for
29:00
Speaker 9: a long time, and everybody knows all the.
29:02
Speaker 14: Rules, I don't need to be on set all the time.
29:05
Speaker 14: I really don't. It's more important for me to be writing.
29:07
Speaker 9: I've always said that what a producer has to learn
29:09
Speaker 9: to do on set is not to speak up, but
29:12
Speaker 9: to shut up.
29:13
Speaker 5: Because it's never the way you had it in your head.
29:17
Speaker 9: It doesn't matter because you have to let that go
29:19
Speaker 9: and embrace what the actors have brought, what the director
29:22
Speaker 9: is bringing to the table, because that's the collaborative television process.
29:25
Speaker 9: It's everybody's input. And most of the time, it's better.
29:29
Speaker 9: And that's a classy situation.
29:34
Speaker 3: Classy.
29:34
Speaker 2: And then play number six for me.
29:36
Speaker 7: Just, I was just going to say that must be
29:39
Speaker 7: hard as a writer to let go of that. Cause
29:43
Speaker 7: if you write a director, you at least have some
29:45
Speaker 7: input on what goes on the.
29:46
Speaker 3: Screen, but it's classy.
29:48
Speaker 2: It's classy just to let it go and let, yeah,
29:49
Speaker 2: you have to.
29:50
Speaker 15: Yeah.
29:50
Speaker 2: And then the other option.
29:52
Speaker 13: Is he's, I mean, listen, McKay has been around forever. I,
29:55
Speaker 13: I wrote a script that introduced his character in season two.
30:00
Speaker 2: Five of sg1 so uh.
30:04
Speaker 13: You know he's he's he's i find mckay incredibly easy
30:09
Speaker 13: to write for i mean he just sort of it's
30:12
Speaker 13: always obvious to me what he will say and.
30:14
Speaker 2: Do just one more time just one more time if
30:17
Speaker 2: you can just play brad for me just one more
30:19
Speaker 2: time just the last 10 seconds just the last 10
30:21
Speaker 2: seconds even if you want to.
30:22
Speaker 9: Just show what the actors have brought what the director
30:25
Speaker 9: is bringing to the table because that's the collaborative television
30:27
Speaker 9: process it's everybody's input and most of the time it's
30:30
Speaker 9: better and that's that's a classy situation.
30:35
Speaker 2: And then just play number seven.
30:38
Speaker 12: Stylistically i mean i get everybody sort of i think
30:41
Speaker 12: felt i got to do things that other people maybe
30:45
Speaker 12: didn't feel the freedom or liberty to do because i'm
30:48
Speaker 12: also the executive producer i mean i really only have
30:51
Speaker 12: myself to answer to and As far as making mistakes
30:55
Speaker 12: or going outside the normal box of how we shoot
30:58
Speaker 12: an episode. I know the crew was kind of like, hey,
31:00
Speaker 12: wait a minute, we don't usually do this. Are we
31:03
Speaker 12: allowed to do this? Is this a Stargate Atlantis? Is
31:05
Speaker 12: this right?
31:07
Speaker 15: It felt like, you know, Robert, it felt like a
31:09
Speaker 15: feature film.
31:09
Speaker 9: And it was nice that we started off with it
31:12
Speaker 9: because all year long, people would tell Satita stories that
31:15
Speaker 9: they were veterans of a battle.
31:18
Speaker 11: Well, it was.
31:19
Speaker 12: I mean, physically, it was the hardest thing I've ever done.
31:22
Speaker 3: Hardest thing I've ever done. Yeah.
31:24
Speaker 2: So you just look at just the opposing views.
31:27
Speaker 3: Dude, you told us we can't do that shit.
31:28
Speaker 1: Yeah. Literally.
31:30
Speaker 7: You tell us every week and now you're doing it.
31:32
Speaker 7: So you can see now why we've been asking.
31:34
Speaker 1: You to do it. Yeah, but see, I was testing
31:35
Speaker 1: you because I wanted to tell you no and then
31:37
Speaker 1: for you to do it anyway. And I would have
31:39
Speaker 1: fired you, but it would have shown initiative that I
31:41
Speaker 1: didn't want on my set.
31:43
Speaker 2: So you ask Brad what it's like.
31:45
Speaker 3: I could use you as an example.
31:48
Speaker 2: You ask Brad what it's like for him to be
31:50
Speaker 2: on set. He says, I don't need to be here.
31:52
Speaker 2: Everyone's so good at their job. It's so collaborative. You know,
31:55
Speaker 2: I'm better off just off writing scripts. Everyone knows they're
31:57
Speaker 2: doing better.
31:57
Speaker 3: Than I, you know.
31:58
Speaker 2: Well, I'm the writer. I'm the producer. I'm the executive producer.
32:01
Speaker 2: I'm the service director. I did crafts.
32:04
Speaker 1: What else did I do? Oh, this is the hardest.
32:06
Speaker 2: It's just all about him. It's I, I, I, I, I,
32:09
Speaker 2: I statements versus Brad's. Look at this, all these people
32:13
Speaker 2: that know what they're doing and this collaborative effort and
32:15
Speaker 2: how wonderful it is. It never actually ends up being
32:17
Speaker 2: what you think it's going to be. It ends up
32:19
Speaker 2: better because it's– Everyone's putting their end, Brad.
32:21
Speaker 3: He didn't say better.
32:23
Speaker 2: So sometimes.
32:24
Speaker 3: He said sometimes. Yeah.
32:27
Speaker 2: But that's why Brad's a classy guy.
32:28
Speaker 7: It just feels out of place that this is one
32:30
Speaker 7: of his episodes.
32:32
Speaker 4: Yeah.
32:33
Speaker 2: And it's his last episode or did he do all that? Ooh,
32:35
Speaker 2: let me have a look.
32:37
Speaker 3: I should have only just thought about that.
32:40
Speaker 2: Oh, no, Twin Destinies, Brad, right?
32:41
Speaker 3: Oh, perfect.
32:42
Speaker 2: Oh, I vaguely remember Twin Destinies being very good just
32:45
Speaker 2: from the title.
32:46
Speaker 11: Yeah.
32:48
Speaker 7: I'm just glad that he was able to redeem himself.
32:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, Joe and Paul wrote Gauntlet. Yeah, that is good, actually,
32:57
Speaker 2: that if Brad goes out on a Twin Destinies, that's a.
33:01
Speaker 7: Good episode from memory. I think it's rated the best one.
33:05
Speaker 7: Kind of like SGU's Lost City, almost.
33:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, nice.
33:14
Speaker 1: This.
33:15
Speaker 3: I just wanted to read this Oh, you had some reviews.
33:19
Speaker 1: That's right.
33:20
Speaker 3: Four out of ten.
33:20
Speaker 7: Just one of them. There's a bunch of them. There's like,
33:23
Speaker 7: this is so bad. It's almost good.
33:26
Speaker 11: Almost.
33:26
Speaker 2: Is this a bitch what? Yeah, this is a bitch
33:28
Speaker 2: what segment. Bitch what? Bitch what?
33:32
Speaker 3: Oh, wow. That's what the opener was. Yeah.
33:36
Speaker 2: Bitch what?
33:37
Speaker 1: I think we'll both just have a moment.
33:38
Speaker 2: Chipmunk it. Chipmunk it.
33:43
Speaker 1: Bitch what?
33:44
Speaker 5: Bitch what?
33:45
Speaker 2: Bitch what?
33:47
Speaker 10: Bitch, what?
33:49
Speaker 2: I honestly can't tell which ones of those are chipmunks
33:51
Speaker 2: and what wasn't.
33:53
Speaker 3: This one says spoiler.
33:57
Speaker 13: See?
33:58
Speaker 10: See, everyone?
33:59
Speaker 7: Brendan's the real spoiler. One of the worst episodes of
34:01
Speaker 7: the series. Way too much time wasted with the dream,
34:05
Speaker 7: life back on Earth. Not only was it completely unnecessary,
34:09
Speaker 7: but it was very boring. I don't understand why it
34:11
Speaker 7: would have been so difficult to stick with the alien planet.
34:14
Speaker 7: and the plant creatures. I've binge-watched SGU several times over
34:18
Speaker 7: the years, and each time I always fast-forward through the
34:21
Speaker 7: dream sequence and even skip over the episode altogether. The
34:25
Speaker 7: crew is in another galaxy on an alien planet, so
34:28
Speaker 7: why do the writers feel the need to continually add
34:31
Speaker 7: scenes from back on Earth? It's useless filler, and it's
34:35
Speaker 7: part of the reason SGU is not even close to
34:37
Speaker 7: the same level as SG-1 or Atlantis.
34:40
Speaker 3: Damn, that's some skating shit. And that's for.
34:42
Speaker 2: It's a Brad Wright episode.
34:43
Speaker 3: It's so hectic.
34:44
Speaker 2: But they make a good point because it's like we're
34:48
Speaker 2: already doing back on earth stuff.
34:50
Speaker 13: Yeah.
34:50
Speaker 2: Getting to know these actual characters. If they didn't have
34:52
Speaker 2: the stones, I could almost get it.
34:54
Speaker 1: Yeah.
34:54
Speaker 2: But we have like we have a whole episode. that's
34:57
Speaker 2: now exploring a fake back home. You know what I mean?
35:01
Speaker 2: Like at least with when Elizabeth wakes up in the
35:04
Speaker 2: mental hospital, we know something's up and we explore that
35:08
Speaker 2: and it's an interesting, you know, and then we find
35:11
Speaker 2: out that she's infected with nanites and stuff like that.
35:13
Speaker 2: Whereas with this, it's just like there was.
35:15
Speaker 1: And you were there. And you were there.
35:17
Speaker 7: And there's no place like home. It's like Changeling 2.0.
35:21
Speaker 7: It's like he stole off. Chris Judge, I don't think
35:24
Speaker 7: you needed to do that because it was like the.
35:25
Speaker 2: Probie and Bray and all that.
35:28
Speaker 1: Yeah.
35:28
Speaker 2: That was kind of cringe. Yeah, I think there's certain episodes.
35:34
Speaker 2: Imagine if they, like, tried to redo Window of Opportunity
35:36
Speaker 2: or something like that. Like, it just.
35:39
Speaker 12: Yeah.
35:40
Speaker 2: You know, you just don't. Certain ones you just don't touch.
35:43
Speaker 2: You just go there. Unless you're going to add to it.
35:46
Speaker 2: You don't try to redo it. You add on it.
35:48
Speaker 2: You build on it.
35:50
Speaker 7: And like the moss thing is kind of what happened
35:52
Speaker 7: with Shepard when he got the Eratus bug.
35:54
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Eratus bug and the crystals from Doppelganger, you know.
36:00
Speaker 2: And then he also had conversion when he got, when
36:03
Speaker 2: he was starting to turn into the Eratus bug.
36:05
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I meant.
36:06
Speaker 2: Oh, I meant like 38 minutes as well.
36:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, that too.
36:10
Speaker 2: So.
36:11
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just, it wasn't necessary. It felt like a
36:15
Speaker 7: filler episode and it's like, hang on, there's not enough
36:17
Speaker 7: episodes to have fillers.
36:19
Speaker 2: In this series. And this concept's been done so many times.
36:22
Speaker 2: What about the one in Atlantis? Was it the one
36:24
Speaker 2: where the gate was underwater or whatever? Remember when Shepard
36:30
Speaker 2: goes back to Earth and he's in his apartment with Taylor?
36:33
Speaker 7: Oh, where they find that planet which has the fog
36:37
Speaker 7: and the fog is energy and they're able to dial
36:40
Speaker 7: a Chevron address back to Earth using that energy. But
36:45
Speaker 7: it was fake. The fog, yeah, put them to sleep
36:48
Speaker 7: so they're still on the planet. Yeah, I was like,
36:50
Speaker 7: why wouldn't you take a paddle jumper? That would have
36:52
Speaker 7: resolved the entire issue.
36:54
Speaker 2: But I just remember with that, with like the whole
36:55
Speaker 2: thing of Shepard realising that it wasn't real when it's
37:00
Speaker 2: like when he's having this party at his kick-ass bachelor
37:02
Speaker 2: pad and someone who died in a helicopter crash three
37:05
Speaker 2: years ago or whatever was there.
37:07
Speaker 3: Gamekeeper.
37:08
Speaker 1: Yeah.
37:08
Speaker 3: Same thing.
37:09
Speaker 2: Yeah. So, yeah, I just think this concept has been
37:12
Speaker 2: done better so many times.
37:14
Speaker 3: Yeah.
37:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, this one was, I think, I'm just going to
37:16
Speaker 2: blame Cooper's interference.
37:19
Speaker 7: I guess, yeah. I just, I didn't care for the
37:23
Speaker 7: Earth people at all. They weren't even, like, related. They
37:27
Speaker 7: weren't even themselves. It would almost be good if it
37:30
Speaker 7: was themselves.
37:31
Speaker 1: Yeah.
37:31
Speaker 14: Almost.
37:32
Speaker 2: Like, it felt on the nose. It's like, obviously, young is...
37:36
Speaker 2: scott's father figure.
37:37
Speaker 6: Yeah like obviously yeah that that was like i think
37:40
Speaker 6: as it went on for me and you know i
37:42
Speaker 6: was like okay well how how is this person going
37:44
Speaker 6: to be reimagined and unfortunately uh i was trying to
37:48
Speaker 6: you know i try to steer away from some of
37:49
Speaker 6: the credits and i did see lou diamond phillips god
37:52
Speaker 6: damn it you know um but even though that was
37:55
Speaker 6: like what three minutes into the episode i'm like i
37:57
Speaker 6: don't think this is i don't think in the middle
37:58
Speaker 6: of this dream what it seems like is going to
38:00
Speaker 6: be a dreamscape sort of episode we're going to get
38:03
Speaker 6: like Oh, by the way, yeah, Telford survived from a
38:07
Speaker 6: couple weeks ago and this is the next chapter of
38:08
Speaker 6: his story. I didn't think it was going to be that.
38:10
Speaker 6: But when he pops up and he's a cop and.
38:12
Speaker 1: Oh, yeah.
38:13
Speaker 3: I forgot that he was over there.
38:14
Speaker 2: That was a cool reveal, the way the camera moves
38:17
Speaker 2: and stuff was interesting with that reveal.
38:18
Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh, okay, so how is the he
38:20
Speaker 1: and Greer stuff going to be? Weird tension.
38:22
Speaker 6: But no, Greer, this is his first time seemingly in
38:25
Speaker 6: the town. So he doesn't know Telford. So then I'm
38:27
Speaker 6: actually going to quarrel. And it's not like he's going
38:29
Speaker 6: to have some cross on, you know, all that sort
38:32
Speaker 6: of shit. But then like when TJ showed up, I'm like,
38:34
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, we haven't seen it.
38:35
Speaker 1: Hang on. So she's just a paramedic. She's Jonas at
38:39
Speaker 1: the last minute.
38:40
Speaker 3: She's probie.
38:41
Speaker 10: Yeah.
38:42
Speaker 6: Like everyone else has sort of got this, like all
38:45
Speaker 6: of the key people for us, the audience. in any
38:48
Speaker 6: other episode have got key roles within this fake Scott
38:51
Speaker 6: story and narrative, and yet then TJ just sort of
38:55
Speaker 6: pops up and it's like, oh, yeah, I'm here attending
38:58
Speaker 6: to your third.
38:58
Speaker 1: Passing out in the last 24 hours. Like that's all
39:01
Speaker 1: I am.
39:01
Speaker 2: Yeah, you would think given that it's like, okay, if
39:03
Speaker 2: he's going to make Eli Chloe's brother, he's going to
39:07
Speaker 2: make Young his father, wouldn't he make TJ his sister?
39:11
Speaker 1: His sister, yeah.
39:12
Speaker 3: You know, his cousin?
39:13
Speaker 13: Yeah.
39:14
Speaker 1: Yeah.
39:15
Speaker 2: Something like that. I also think that the characters weren't
39:18
Speaker 2: different enough. It's like Matt and Greer were still military guys.
39:22
Speaker 4: Yeah.
39:23
Speaker 2: Matt was coming home to marry his high school sweetheart.
39:26
Speaker 2: Wasn't it his high school sweetheart that he knocked up? Hmm. know,
39:30
Speaker 2: and had the kid with.
39:32
Speaker 1: James' just the ex.
39:35
Speaker 6: The ex that was kind of still for him, but
39:36
Speaker 6: he wasn't willing to commit to it.
39:38
Speaker 3: The busty barmaid.
39:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah.
39:41
Speaker 3: And he was fully trying to get with her.
39:43
Speaker 10: Oh, he was so keen.
39:44
Speaker 11: He was.
39:44
Speaker 3: Apparently.
39:45
Speaker 2: Was that a broom closet? In the audio commentary, they actually, yeah,
39:48
Speaker 2: they did a couple of different takes on that where
39:50
Speaker 2: They did one where it was all clearly very joking
39:54
Speaker 2: and the director was like, let's do a serious one.
39:57
Speaker 2: Let's do one where you really mean it.
39:58
Speaker 6: But how confident he was to then turn around to
40:00
Speaker 6: Eli and go, oh, delete that. I'm like, dude, he's
40:03
Speaker 6: got you filming going.
40:06
Speaker 3: It's just. It's his sister.
40:08
Speaker 1: He's like, dude, can you just delete that? This will
40:11
Speaker 1: cause me a bit of trouble.
40:12
Speaker 14: Yeah, bro.
40:12
Speaker 2: It's like, oh, if he deletes it, it never happened.
40:15
Speaker 2: That's not how that works, mate. That's not how that works.
40:17
Speaker 2: Everyone was there. What's stopping?
40:19
Speaker 3: The whole town?
40:21
Speaker 1: The whole town?
40:22
Speaker 2: What stops Tits McGee from just going and telling Chloe?
40:25
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?
40:28
Speaker 7: That's the kind of guy you're going to marry.
40:30
Speaker 2: Yeah.
40:30
Speaker 3: All weird situations. Okay, he gets back.
40:33
Speaker 1: I know what you mean.
40:34
Speaker 6: Even though I was like, hey, it's his first day back,
40:38
Speaker 6: but he's last night before the wedding. He's going to
40:40
Speaker 6: see you tomorrow, and it's all about them. Part of me,
40:43
Speaker 6: I'm like, yeah, keep that sort of, not mystery, but
40:46
Speaker 6: I don't know.
40:48
Speaker 1: I think my dad did.
40:49
Speaker 6: I don't know if he had a real one proper
40:51
Speaker 6: or something, but his Bucks night was the night before
40:54
Speaker 6: the wedding. I've seen the wedding video. He was sweating
40:57
Speaker 6: beer during his wedding.
40:59
Speaker 1: Like Brendan said, we had mine a week before the
41:01
Speaker 1: wedding and then we went out again and got pretty
41:03
Speaker 1: sourced the night before the wedding.
41:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's all fine. It's just weird that
41:08
Speaker 3: he got into town.
41:09
Speaker 6: Yeah, but we had a dinner then too, but we'd
41:12
Speaker 6: also had like, because we had James, who was six
41:14
Speaker 6: months old, he got baptized that night.
41:17
Speaker 3: In beer. In beer.
41:19
Speaker 1: So like we had that and we had dinner and
41:21
Speaker 1: then it was like, all right, we're going to go
41:22
Speaker 1: out for a couple of drinks or whatever. But other
41:24
Speaker 1: than that, I probably would have tried to have.
41:28
Speaker 6: separated myself from sarah like at midday and go all
41:30
Speaker 6: right i'll see you tomorrow yeah you know like i'm
41:31
Speaker 6: gonna go off and like have time so it almost
41:34
Speaker 6: feels just that extra bit special to see you tomorrow
41:37
Speaker 6: because we've had that extra couple of.
41:38
Speaker 7: Hours or whatever you don't want to wake up with
41:40
Speaker 7: them why did you drink so much it could have.
41:43
Speaker 2: Taken two lines of dialogue to just add in that
41:48
Speaker 2: chloe didn't want to see like when he once he
41:49
Speaker 2: got to town chloe didn't want to see him until
41:51
Speaker 2: she was walking down the.
41:52
Speaker 1: Aisle yeah But the opposite is true.
41:54
Speaker 2: So all their interactions were over the phone.
41:56
Speaker 6: Where he's like, hey, we're going out for a drink.
41:57
Speaker 6: And they're like, oh, no, Chloe wants you all to
41:59
Speaker 6: herself tonight. And I'm like, fuck off.
42:01
Speaker 1: They're getting married tomorrow.
42:03
Speaker 6: The idea is that they are together forever from tomorrow,
42:06
Speaker 6: like officially on paper.
42:08
Speaker 2: See, I didn't mind that purely because he was coming
42:10
Speaker 2: home from deployment or wherever he was. They obviously hadn't
42:13
Speaker 2: seen each other in months or anything like that.
42:15
Speaker 1: I want to go and watch this piece of shit movie.
42:18
Speaker 2: Oh, I don't think it, mate, how many piece of
42:20
Speaker 2: shit movies have you dragged your wife to? Yeah.
42:22
Speaker 1: I mean, the night before.
42:24
Speaker 3: The day before the wedding.
42:25
Speaker 6: The day before the wedding when it's like, hey, do
42:26
Speaker 6: you want, I know you wanted to have a box night.
42:28
Speaker 6: I know your mates are all here to have a
42:30
Speaker 6: box night. I kind of want you to either, but
42:32
Speaker 6: I'm going to drive and take you to a little matinee.
42:34
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that if like you were in the
42:36
Speaker 2: military and you hadn't seen your fiance for months, you
42:40
Speaker 2: were only able to come home the day before your
42:42
Speaker 2: wedding and your fiance said, I'd like to spend the
42:45
Speaker 2: night with you as your mate. I'd be like, yeah,
42:47
Speaker 2: that's fine. You know what I mean?
42:52
Speaker 11: No.
42:52
Speaker 1: 24 more hours, baby.
42:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, but in a scenario where it's like.
42:56
Speaker 6: In general, I go to my brother and sister-in-law, and
42:59
Speaker 6: so Sarah's older brother, no sex before marriage, all that
43:02
Speaker 6: sort of stuff, right?
43:03
Speaker 1: And we were saying goodnight to them. You're not going
43:07
Speaker 1: to take it for a test drive? They left their reception.
43:10
Speaker 2: Being breeders.
43:11
Speaker 6: They had the reception at the hotel they were staying in,
43:14
Speaker 6: and we farewelled them.
43:16
Speaker 3: Mitch didn't say it was his choice, though. I don't know.
43:22
Speaker 1: Do they soak?
43:22
Speaker 2: Do you know if they soak at all? I don't know.
43:24
Speaker 2: Why don't I ask these questions?
43:26
Speaker 1: But as we farewell them.
43:27
Speaker 2: Don't tell stories if you don't have the answers I need.
43:30
Speaker 2: You know I'm going to ask fucked up questions.
43:33
Speaker 3: You do know.
43:34
Speaker 1: We're going to go into that. And Sarah's in.
43:38
Speaker 2: See this thing? When this thing's on, you know I'm
43:40
Speaker 2: going to ask fucked up questions.
43:41
Speaker 6: And you're like, don't tell a story unless you know
43:43
Speaker 6: the answers to the questions I'm going to ask.
43:46
Speaker 1: Fascinating line.
43:48
Speaker 6: But Sarah said, yes, talking to older brother, I go, oh,
43:50
Speaker 6: I know what you two are going off to do.
43:53
Speaker 6: And his new wife now, they've been together a couple
43:55
Speaker 6: of years, she goes, oh, he can do whatever he wants.
43:57
Speaker 1: I'm going to bed. I'm tired.
43:59
Speaker 6: And it's like, even though it built up to that night,
44:01
Speaker 6: it was like, yeah, we can.
44:02
Speaker 1: Wait another 24 hours for that. We can wait until tomorrow.
44:05
Speaker 3: Morning for that. You're not meant to, mate.
44:07
Speaker 1: So I'm just thinking he gets back from deployment.
44:09
Speaker 3: You have to consummate the marriage.
44:10
Speaker 1: He gets back from deployment.
44:12
Speaker 3: He could have known it the next day if he
44:13
Speaker 3: wanted to.
44:13
Speaker 1: I mean, at this point in... In the episode, I
44:16
Speaker 1: was thinking they were getting married, you know, midday like
44:19
Speaker 1: we do here in Australia, not let's get married at
44:21
Speaker 1: 7pm tomorrow night.
44:23
Speaker 6: So he was a little over 24 hours away from
44:25
Speaker 6: the actual wedding taking place, if not longer. So I
44:28
Speaker 6: don't know. I still say play on with that. But
44:30
Speaker 6: it was just, it was all very weird. It was
44:32
Speaker 6: clearly like a story, a narrative made up by a
44:36
Speaker 6: mind who'd never been to a wedding before or lived
44:39
Speaker 6: as a couple that was ready to get married.
44:40
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's also like it is that epitome of
44:44
Speaker 2: you guys are describing what straight white men are like
44:48
Speaker 2: when it comes to weddings. It's like, yeah, I'll just
44:49
Speaker 2: rock up in my tux. I'll get dressed 10 minutes
44:52
Speaker 2: before the ceremony. I mean, you were almost late to
44:55
Speaker 2: yours because Lincoln was out buying lightsabers for yours.
44:59
Speaker 1: Again, play on. Yeah.
45:01
Speaker 2: Whereas for a woman, when it comes to a wedding,
45:03
Speaker 2: it's like, well, they haven't eaten for the three days
45:05
Speaker 2: leading up to it. They've gotten up at 6 a.m.
45:07
Speaker 2: so that they can get their facial and their makeup
45:10
Speaker 2: and their hair and their mimosas and do the girl
45:14
Speaker 2: stuff and all that kind of stuff. Yeah, it's a very...
45:16
Speaker 2: different experience for, for each gender.
45:19
Speaker 6: Literally watching this episode though, when, okay, it was obviously
45:23
Speaker 6: all a fake app, but when Greer's looking at Scott,
45:25
Speaker 6: you know, Scott's like, oh, do you guys get me
45:27
Speaker 6: doing a party or something?
45:29
Speaker 1: And Greer's like, Am I supposed to organise that? I've
45:32
Speaker 1: been with you.
45:33
Speaker 2: I don't know this town.
45:34
Speaker 6: I might be making a pretty big assumption here, guys,
45:37
Speaker 6: but I think Lincoln has said as much. He was
45:39
Speaker 6: my best man. I think I'm set to be his. Again,
45:42
Speaker 6: mad assumption. And we don't do that in 2026. But
45:45
Speaker 6: I'm like, that already scares me, the idea of planning
45:49
Speaker 6: a Bucks party.
45:51
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
45:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially to live up to Lincoln's level. Like, you've
45:56
Speaker 2: got to go pretty far to... Just shocked that boy.
45:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm like, well, not even the shock thing. Like,
46:02
Speaker 1: I don't know. I had a great day of mine.
46:05
Speaker 1: All I said to Link, I'm like, I don't care
46:07
Speaker 1: what we do, but the Broncos are playing Parramatta on
46:10
Speaker 1: that night. And as long as you put me somewhere
46:12
Speaker 1: where there is a TV.
46:14
Speaker 3: Oh, my God.
46:15
Speaker 6: Now, we didn't get a TV, but someone did have
46:18
Speaker 6: it on their phone. And we put that phone on
46:20
Speaker 6: the top of the fireplace, like little ledge.
46:23
Speaker 1: And there was about 15 blokes crowded around a phone
46:25
Speaker 1: for 80 minutes watching the Broncos play.
46:27
Speaker 2: You are just a simple, simple creature.
46:29
Speaker 10: Oh, f * * *, mate.
46:30
Speaker 1: I want what I want and I got what I want.
46:32
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden I'm a simple... I got
46:34
Speaker 1: what I want, what I really, really want.
46:36
Speaker 2: Don't say what you want, what you really.
46:37
Speaker 1: Really want. I think famously... I wanna, I wanna, I wanna.
46:39
Speaker 1: I'm going to say the Broncos lost that. That's my prediction.
46:42
Speaker 2: I'm shocked. I'm genuinely shocked that you don't know that.
46:46
Speaker 3: Me too.
46:46
Speaker 2: Just off the top of your head.
46:47
Speaker 1: Okay, maybe I didn't see the end of the game
46:49
Speaker 1: because I had a little bit of extra sauce. I
46:50
Speaker 1: don't know.
46:51
Speaker 2: I bet you know who they played, though.
46:52
Speaker 1: That's what I said, Parramatta. Oh, yeah, yeah.
46:54
Speaker 3: Parramatta Seals.
46:55
Speaker 2: Was it a home or away game?
46:56
Speaker 1: It was an away game. Otherwise, I would have been there.
46:58
Speaker 3: Oh, I knew it. Think about it.
47:01
Speaker 1: What?
47:01
Speaker 3: Think about it.
47:01
Speaker 1: You don't think that I would have incorporated going to
47:03
Speaker 1: a live Broncos game if it was in Brisbane?
47:06
Speaker 3: Pick me up after, Mitch.
47:07
Speaker 2: You think your wife would have allowed that on your
47:09
Speaker 2: wedding day?
47:09
Speaker 1: No, I said, no, this is a Bucs night.
47:11
Speaker 3: Oh, okay.
47:12
Speaker 1: This is all the Bucs night.
47:13
Speaker 3: No, we didn't watch the Broncos.
47:14
Speaker 1: We didn't watch the Broncos at my wedding day. I
47:16
Speaker 1: did give out live footy scores, though, during my speech.
47:18
Speaker 1: Mitch got married in Geelong. There wouldn't be any rugby
47:21
Speaker 1: league there. No, but I did give the scores out
47:23
Speaker 1: for both the league and the AFL at the start
47:25
Speaker 1: of my speech.
47:25
Speaker 2: Of course you did, though.
47:29
Speaker 1: Let's go.
47:31
Speaker 2: Put on the announcer filter for Mitch and he can
47:33
Speaker 2: give us his wedding speech. I promise to love.
47:37
Speaker 1: You for the rest of my life.
47:38
Speaker 2: All right.
47:40
Speaker 1: Let's have a look here, guys.
47:41
Speaker 6: We're going through the 2013 season to see whether Mitch
47:44
Speaker 6: knows what the fuck he's talking about for his own
47:47
Speaker 6: Bucks party.
47:48
Speaker 2: I bet he could tell you what the number one
47:50
Speaker 2: movie in 2013 was.
47:51
Speaker 1: Saturday the 27th of April.
47:53
Speaker 10: Here we go.
47:56
Speaker 1: It was the West Tigers.
47:59
Speaker 2: Oh.
47:59
Speaker 1: But the Broncos did lose the game. So I was
48:03
Speaker 1: right about the loss. I was right about it being away.
48:05
Speaker 1: But they took on the Tigers. What was the number
48:08
Speaker 1: one movie at the time?
48:09
Speaker 2: Yeah. 2013. 2013.
48:11
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Iron Man 3 would have just
48:14
Speaker 1: come out.
48:15
Speaker 3: That wouldn't have been number one, though.
48:17
Speaker 2: Absolutely not.
48:19
Speaker 1: Absolutely would have been. Release date, Australia. It came out
48:25
Speaker 1: on April 24th, 2013.
48:27
Speaker 2: Oh.
48:27
Speaker 3: Yeah. You're a sick man, Mitchell.
48:32
Speaker 14: Yeah.
48:32
Speaker 3: And I love it.
48:33
Speaker 2: Do you know what's a fun game?
48:34
Speaker 1: You know what? That can't happen. What did I watch
48:37
Speaker 1: today with my kids?
48:37
Speaker 10: Spider-Man 3.
48:40
Speaker 1: Shut up.
48:40
Speaker 3: What the fuck? And Spider-Man?
48:42
Speaker 15: Nope.
48:45
Speaker 7: I knew they played West Tigers because it was my
48:47
Speaker 7: mum's birthday that day.
48:49
Speaker 2: Not really.
48:51
Speaker 7: The only thing I reckon they missed at the end,
48:53
Speaker 7: talking about the whole father-son thing between Young and Scott,
48:56
Speaker 7: was back at the end when Chloe and Scott come
49:00
Speaker 7: back through the gate, Young says, welcome back, son. I
49:03
Speaker 7: just expected for whatever reason Scott to be like, hey, thanks, dad,
49:06
Speaker 7: like still in her days.
49:07
Speaker 2: I feel like he could.
49:10
Speaker 3: Have done that.
49:11
Speaker 2: Everyone's done that at school, haven't you?
49:13
Speaker 3: Yeah.
49:14
Speaker 2: Accidentally called the teacher mom instead. Because you've gone to
49:15
Speaker 2: say miss and you said mom instead.
49:17
Speaker 3: Yeah.
49:18
Speaker 2: Hey, mom. I mean. Okay.
49:24
Speaker 1: You have two options. Move schools or kill yourself.
49:29
Speaker 2: Jam that to be pencil into your vein down the street,
49:34
Speaker 2: not across the road.
49:34
Speaker 1: Both just to be safe. Yeah.
49:36
Speaker 2: Yeah.
49:37
Speaker 1: Yeah. Bleed out in English, go.
49:40
Speaker 2: Make it look like a crucifix when you're in RE class.
49:44
Speaker 1: And Brendan and I had a couple of teachers. You
49:45
Speaker 1: called them mummy.
49:47
Speaker 3: Hello, mummy.
49:48
Speaker 1: Purpose.
49:48
Speaker 2: No, that's... No.
49:52
Speaker 7: Uh-uh. I went, I'm hungry, mummy. And then she was like.
49:57
Speaker 3: That's disgusting.
50:00
Speaker 2: Look, I made a joke last week about.
50:02
Speaker 3: I was a hot kid, mate.
50:05
Speaker 2: I made a joke last week about Eli breastfeeding from
50:08
Speaker 2: his mother in Lieutenant James' body, but what you said
50:10
Speaker 2: was fucking disgusting.
50:14
Speaker 1: I'm a hungry mummy.
50:17
Speaker 2: I'm a hungry mummy.
50:18
Speaker 1: And if that's a fall for it every time.
50:21
Speaker 3: I know from experience.
50:22
Speaker 2: I suppose your wife is older than you, isn't she?
50:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, by a lot.
50:26
Speaker 7: The only thing missing in this episode was by far
50:30
Speaker 7: A needle drop montage.
50:32
Speaker 3: God, if we could only get that.
50:33
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah.
50:34
Speaker 3: That would have been amazing.
50:35
Speaker 2: Going to need a montage. Montage. I guess we kind
50:40
Speaker 2: of did get a montage with the wedding ceremony and
50:44
Speaker 2: the transfusion and stuff like that. That was kind of
50:46
Speaker 2: a montage. We just didn't get a needle drop.
50:50
Speaker 1: I actually realised that while watching the end of this episode.
50:53
Speaker 1: I didn't think about it last week, I guess because
50:55
Speaker 1: now it's a pattern. Well, pattern, it's a coincidence between
50:57
Speaker 1: the two.
50:57
Speaker 2: Yeah.
50:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. I'm like, oh. We've got scores.
51:01
Speaker 6: We've got actual music that fits the scene that's happening
51:04
Speaker 6: in front of us.
51:05
Speaker 3: That was way better.
51:07
Speaker 2: Okay, thought exercise. Knowing what kind of a bridezilla Dream
51:12
Speaker 2: Chloe is. Obviously, she walked down the aisle to, you know, formal,
51:16
Speaker 2: you know, here comes the bride, you know, whatever that
51:18
Speaker 2: other one is.
51:19
Speaker 3: Looks gorgeous, by the way.
51:20
Speaker 12: She did.
51:20
Speaker 3: She looked fantastic.
51:21
Speaker 1: Buzzes out.
51:22
Speaker 2: What do you think bridezilla Dream Chloe's song was for
51:26
Speaker 2: them to Walk back down the aisle, like afterwards. You know,
51:29
Speaker 2: like once they've signed the thing and they're walking out
51:32
Speaker 2: of the church, what do you think the song is?
51:36
Speaker 2: The plays.
51:36
Speaker 1: Love Story, Taylor Swift, basic bitch shit.
51:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was thinking girls just want to have fun.
51:41
Speaker 2: Cyndi Lauper.
51:42
Speaker 6: I reckon that's the music that plays when she's throwing
51:45
Speaker 6: the bouquet.
51:46
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah. She's gone crazy with the girls about a
51:51
Speaker 1: champagne each.
51:52
Speaker 2: Was Taylor Swift around in 2011? Yes, yep. Yeah, right.
51:56
Speaker 1: I know that because she's old as f * * k.
51:57
Speaker 1: I had to look up a thing. You know, the
51:59
Speaker 1: whole Kanye thing.
52:00
Speaker 2: It's a love story.
52:01
Speaker 1: I'm going to let you finish. I'm going to let
52:02
Speaker 1: you finish. That was the end of 2009. And that
52:05
Speaker 1: was like, that was well after Love Story.
52:07
Speaker 2: Wait, so how many of your kids have been born
52:09
Speaker 2: since then?
52:09
Speaker 1: All of them.
52:11
Speaker 2: Oh, Jesus Christ, I'm old.
52:13
Speaker 1: We're all old, mate.
52:14
Speaker 2: It's f * * ked. It's so f * * ked. Oh,
52:17
Speaker 2: I felt that one in my left ventricle.
52:19
Speaker 15: That was.
52:19
Speaker 3: I think this is what she came back to. I
52:32
Speaker 3: was hoping.
52:34
Speaker 2: It would be.
52:35
Speaker 7: Took me a second, took me a second.
52:41
Speaker 2: Chloe, Dream rides little Chloe, doesn't know anything pre the
52:45
Speaker 2: year she was born. This is what she'd walked down.
52:49
Speaker 14: To the aisle.
52:50
Speaker 11: Yeah.
52:59
Speaker 2: No, this is what's playing in Lieutenant James' headphones as
53:03
Speaker 2: she walks to the chapel to object at the middle
53:08
Speaker 2: of the... If anybody here has an objection, raise it.
53:11
Speaker 2: That's her walking in to break up that wedding. I
53:14
Speaker 2: f * * * ed Matt in the a *
53:15
Speaker 2: * last night.
53:17
Speaker 3: Chloe, just for you. Just for your knowledge.
53:20
Speaker 2: Matt, titty f * * * me.
53:21
Speaker 1: And even if I didn't, that's what you're thinking about now.
53:24
Speaker 12: Yeah.
53:27
Speaker 1: I've done all the damage, no collateral. You know what
53:29
Speaker 1: I mean?
53:30
Speaker 2: It's a victimless crime, like punching someone in the dark.
53:33
Speaker 3: Punching someone in the dark at a disco. And then
53:37
Speaker 3: running away.
53:37
Speaker 2: Victimless crime.
53:40
Speaker 7: I ran up and I punched him in the face.
53:43
Speaker 3: It was awesome. He didn't know who did it.
53:46
Speaker 2: Do you think Eli got with any of the bridesmaids
53:51
Speaker 2: at the reception?
53:52
Speaker 1: Absolutely not.
53:53
Speaker 3: They all know him. Yeah.
53:55
Speaker 6: And he thought he could put the charm on by
53:57
Speaker 6: sticking cameras in their faces.
53:59
Speaker 1: Like, oh, they're going to go, look at this kid.
54:01
Speaker 3: He's adored.
54:02
Speaker 6: No, he's the nerdy fucking brother of their mate who's
54:05
Speaker 6: getting married.
54:05
Speaker 2: Yeah, but do you reckon he wanted to film them
54:08
Speaker 2: when they got back to the hotel room?
54:09
Speaker 3: He would have been.
54:10
Speaker 7: He would have been at Chloe's house going, I can
54:12
Speaker 7: film you girls getting ready.
54:13
Speaker 1: If you want. Like, there's nothing that's too intimate. Like,
54:17
Speaker 1: don't you feel awkward about it being awkward for me.
54:20
Speaker 1: I'll be fine.
54:20
Speaker 2: Yeah. Eli was the one. Like a priest would.
54:23
Speaker 1: Have had more sex that week than Eli. Pretend I'm
54:25
Speaker 1: not in the room.
54:26
Speaker 3: I know it's hard.
54:27
Speaker 2: Eli was the one that asked to pull the garter
54:29
Speaker 2: off Chloe's leg with his teeth.
54:33
Speaker 1: P.O.V.
54:33
Speaker 2: Shot.
54:33
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll wear a GoPro. So then I'll
54:36
Speaker 1: cut it when Matthew goes up there and do it,
54:38
Speaker 1: but I'll cut it to me having done it the
54:40
Speaker 1: day before. It's filmmaking, Chloe.
54:42
Speaker 3: You don't have to get it.
54:43
Speaker 2: It'll be funny, Chloe.
