- 1:19Speaker 2: So aplifting start.
- 1:21Speaker 1: Let's get into it. Mitchmitch, Mitchmitch Richman. Any of the
- 1:27Speaker 1: old synopsis for episode A number fifteen. What of season
- 1:34Speaker 1: four of Stargate Atlantis outcast Shepherd and Ronan meet Ava Dixon,
- 1:39Speaker 1: who has created a dangerous human form replicator. What I
- 1:43Speaker 1: thought they were gone? That has escaped and must be
- 1:47Speaker 1: recaptured at all cost. Anyway, I'm sorry, but that just
- 1:51Speaker 1: happens to be how I feel about it. What do
- 1:54Speaker 1: you think this one?
- 2:03Speaker 2: What do you think? Oh?
- 2:14Speaker 1: I mean part of me? I last week, remember I
- 2:16Speaker 1: came in hot and I was like, nah, I'll call
- 2:19Speaker 1: that evil sister of the princess who was the secondary
- 2:22Speaker 1: character of last week? What?
- 2:26Speaker 2: Who the evil one?
- 2:27Speaker 1: Oh? Thank god, I thought you had been disgusting there
- 2:29Speaker 1: for a second.
- 2:29Speaker 2: Man, Come on, little mister Laris is number one there,
- 2:35Speaker 2: and you're telling me you didn't see the cans and
- 2:36Speaker 2: the evil sister last week.
- 2:38Speaker 1: On the Lives of My Children. I will swear that
- 2:41Speaker 1: I didn't. Wow. I was too busy looking at her
- 2:43Speaker 1: evil face calling out going eil. I knew it certainly
- 2:50Speaker 1: wasn't doing it to this guy, Like obviously there was,
- 2:54Speaker 1: I mean a couple of things going on. At the
- 2:56Speaker 1: start of this. You get the notice that I'm sorry, John,
- 2:58Speaker 1: your father has passed, and then it just randomly cuts
- 3:01Speaker 1: to someplace on Earth, I presume with some woman who's
- 3:04Speaker 1: like got surveillance photos and stuff of John and articles
- 3:09Speaker 1: about his dad, and like what the's going on here? Okay?
- 3:13Speaker 1: And then we get to the house and now I
- 3:15Speaker 1: know that actor that plays his brother. I don't know
- 3:19Speaker 1: his name. I can't IMDBM or anything.
- 3:21Speaker 2: Like you chat amongst yourselves, and I'll look.
- 3:24Speaker 1: He's not even one of those faces like he has
- 3:26Speaker 1: been in a lot of stuff, like a lot of
- 3:27Speaker 1: TV he pops up in and now he's got like
- 3:30Speaker 1: a very he's very handsome. He's got that sort of
- 3:33Speaker 1: all American type look about him, right if you're outside America,
- 3:35Speaker 1: he's got got that like you know, it' tall. He's
- 3:39Speaker 1: got the jawline like he's got them. He could be
- 3:42Speaker 1: built if they wanted to jack him up or anything
- 3:44Speaker 1: like that. Like he's just got that sort of look
- 3:45Speaker 1: about him. But he's also got to look like he
- 3:47Speaker 1: could be some conniving, you know, backstabber and and you know,
- 3:52Speaker 1: maybe a cheating husband or a guy that tries to
- 3:55Speaker 1: you know, you know, run you around at work sort
- 3:58Speaker 1: of thing, like you know, coming and early clients.
- 4:00Speaker 2: And I know where you know, him for where do
- 4:03Speaker 2: I know him? First credit with his name's Dylan Neil
- 4:06Speaker 2: and when you opened up on IMDb. First two credits.
- 4:09Speaker 2: He plays Bob in Fifty Shades of Gray and fifty
- 4:13Speaker 2: Shades Freed.
- 4:16Speaker 1: I mean I've no, I haven't seen Freed. I've seen
- 4:19Speaker 1: gray and I've seen Darker reluctantly. I mean both reluctantly.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Let's be fair, you know what the first little side note,
- 4:27Speaker 1: I watched Fifty Shades of Gray. I believe the way
- 4:30Speaker 1: that they intended it to be watched with no pencil
- 4:34Speaker 1: at the drive in. Oh so poor quality audio and
- 4:39Speaker 1: visuals only because it was pissing down with.
- 4:42Speaker 2: Rain in the back seat doing some yellow pages.
- 4:44Speaker 1: No, my wife was breastfeeding, Oh very sexy.
- 4:49Speaker 2: So wait was there a child in the car When
- 4:51Speaker 2: she's breastfeeding you?
- 4:53Speaker 1: She shades a gray mate like we've all got our
- 4:55Speaker 1: own kicks. Yeah, but I do not remember him. But
- 4:57Speaker 1: he's got that look. He looked like he could be
- 4:58Speaker 1: the main guy from fifty s. Like he's got that
- 5:00Speaker 1: look about him. Right.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Twenty thirteen to twenty fourteen, he was in ten episodes
- 5:05Speaker 2: of Arrow, where he played doctor Anthony Ivo.
- 5:08Speaker 1: I probably, yeah, you know what. That might be the
- 5:09Speaker 1: most recent thing that I remember him from. Again, I
- 5:13Speaker 1: bet doctor Ivo is a bad guy. That was just
- 5:16Speaker 1: a round, right, So he's got Ivo was.
- 5:19Speaker 2: I think he worked at what's the Insane Asylum in
- 5:25Speaker 2: Gotham Arkham? Yeah, I think they worked at Arkham probably,
- 5:29Speaker 2: or he created Amazo the robot.
- 5:32Speaker 1: Okay, well, I mean Arrow was you know, the CW's
- 5:35Speaker 1: version of Batman in many ways, so yeah, they probably
- 5:38Speaker 1: stole their character as well.
- 5:39Speaker 2: He was Hermes in Percy Jackson The Lightning Thief.
- 5:42Speaker 1: Definitely saw that, but when it came out one hundred
- 5:45Speaker 1: years ago, I had him pegged in this episode as
- 5:48Speaker 1: being something begging.
- 5:50Speaker 2: That's another thing you'd like to do with the driving.
- 5:53Speaker 1: Well again, fifty shades are great. I don't know that.
- 5:56Speaker 1: It wasn't like I was he killed his own father
- 6:00Speaker 1: that I'm like, there's something going on with this guy.
- 6:02Speaker 1: What's going on?
- 6:02Speaker 2: It's in twenty episodes of Dawson's Creek, where he played
- 6:05Speaker 2: a character named Doug whitter.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Apps, And again he would have been like the main
- 6:10Speaker 1: like you know, antagonist to Dawson or to Pacey or
- 6:14Speaker 1: something like that. He would have He's got that look
- 6:16Speaker 1: about him man, like he can play that guy. So
- 6:20Speaker 1: when they bring him into this, I thought that's what
- 6:22Speaker 1: he was going to be. Now when you first see
- 6:25Speaker 1: I think, is it the is it? The brother walks
- 6:28Speaker 1: over to him and maybe the ex wife.
- 6:29Speaker 2: Either way, Nancy.
- 6:31Speaker 1: The credit pops up and says it's based on a
- 6:35Speaker 1: story concept by Mate. So I didn't read that in
- 6:38Speaker 1: the synopsis.
- 6:39Speaker 2: The loops they had to go around where it said
- 6:42Speaker 2: not just they didn't just give give Joe a story credit. Yeah,
- 6:45Speaker 2: they had to make up this thing that says based
- 6:47Speaker 2: upon episode concept right by Joe flanagansuse otherwise.
- 6:51Speaker 1: It's like it's Stargates at the one O one written
- 6:53Speaker 1: by Alan mccarch and directed by Andy mckeita, right, So
- 6:57Speaker 1: like we've got a lot of mainstays there writing directing it.
- 7:00Speaker 1: But yeah, so say it again that they've given it.
- 7:03Speaker 2: A story instead of a story credit. He's not based
- 7:07Speaker 2: upon episode concept by Joe Flanagan.
- 7:10Speaker 1: So like he walked into the room and go, you
- 7:11Speaker 1: know a really good idea if we explore maybe Shepherd's dad.
- 7:14Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't know anything about it. We don't know
- 7:16Speaker 2: anything about Shepherd.
- 7:17Speaker 1: Why do I make him have a brother, and that's it.
- 7:19Speaker 1: That's it, that's probably what happened. Yeah, Joe, if you're listening,
- 7:23Speaker 1: obviously you did more work than that. I'm just saying
- 7:25Speaker 1: what the credit suggests. So I'm like, oh, this will
- 7:28Speaker 1: be interesting. Okay, cool. So we get to explore his family,
- 7:30Speaker 1: even the fact I'm like, going, do we know much
- 7:32Speaker 1: about him? And Ronan says, why did you never mention
- 7:35Speaker 1: you had a brother before? He's like, it's complicated, and
- 7:37Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, right, And it would be complicated if
- 7:39Speaker 1: you get called back from the other side of the
- 7:41Speaker 1: universe to come to your dad's funeral, you meet up
- 7:43Speaker 1: with your brother who you don't speak with anymore. There's
- 7:45Speaker 1: clearly a lot of shit going on between you two
- 7:47Speaker 1: and has for a long time. And now we're going
- 7:49Speaker 1: to get to explore that while something else is going
- 7:52Speaker 1: on on Earth. And that's why we saw that that
- 7:55Speaker 1: woman there and then he leaves and I'm watching it
- 8:00Speaker 1: and I'm looking at the time code and I'm not joking,
- 8:03Speaker 1: gout to what the episodes of forty one minutes and
- 8:05Speaker 1: forty seconds, right, it was at forty minutes and fifteen seconds,
- 8:10Speaker 1: so a minute thirty five until the end of the credits. Yeah,
- 8:15Speaker 1: and still there was no like, they hadn't mentioned the brother,
- 8:18Speaker 1: they hadn't mentioned the father. There was nothing about about
- 8:22Speaker 1: John's family, nothing, And I'm like, they actually can't. So
- 8:26Speaker 1: the beginning and the end of this family thing was
- 8:29Speaker 1: him getting a call your dad has passed away. And
- 8:31Speaker 1: the end of it was after five minutes of episode
- 8:34Speaker 1: time when he leaves and says to his brother, no,
- 8:37Speaker 1: I'm not here for his money, and he goes, well,
- 8:39Speaker 1: Dad really wanted to make up with you, and it
- 8:42Speaker 1: sucks that you guys didn't leaves. That felt like it
- 8:45Speaker 1: was going to be folded up by something else. And
- 8:47Speaker 1: then with literally a minute thirty five left on or
- 8:53Speaker 1: not even minute a minute five seconds almost left on
- 8:58Speaker 1: the running time of the whole full episode.
- 9:00Speaker 2: Forty five seconds of credits to go at the end.
- 9:02Speaker 1: Well, then in that case they're with, yeah, thirty five
- 9:05Speaker 1: seconds left to go on the episode, they still had
- 9:08Speaker 1: not made a second mention, and then all of a sudden,
- 9:10Speaker 1: he's like, ah, something I gotta do, and I'm like, oh, okay,
- 9:13Speaker 1: here we go.
- 9:13Speaker 2: Nancy got three scenes. She had the scene on the bench,
- 9:16Speaker 2: and then she got the scene in the car where
- 9:17Speaker 2: she found all the information for him.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Yep, yeah, and he goes back and open the door,
- 9:23Speaker 1: get in here.
- 9:23Speaker 2: Yea.
- 9:24Speaker 1: Now, who do you get the idea who's who's who's older,
- 9:27Speaker 1: who's younger.
- 9:28Speaker 2: I believe your heart throb guy is the older brother.
- 9:33Speaker 1: I mean it would make more sense for a like,
- 9:35Speaker 1: you know, the oldest is like, no, yes, I'm gonna
- 9:37Speaker 1: do what daddy and mummy say, and the second guy's like, nah,
- 9:40Speaker 1: you got my life planned out for me. But I
- 9:42Speaker 1: feel like like Joe Flanning and because of the scruffy
- 9:45Speaker 1: hair that that shepherd has, and maybe he's a bit
- 9:48Speaker 1: more weathered because of the ship that he's seen. He is,
- 9:50Speaker 1: but almost look, and I've got a weird thing. It's
- 9:52Speaker 1: like if you're shorter, Like like, I'm the tallest of
- 9:55Speaker 1: my family, but I'm also the oldest, you know. It's
- 9:57Speaker 1: like I'm taller than Link. Link is taller than our
- 9:59Speaker 1: sister Jamie. That's the age, right, Like I look at
- 10:02Speaker 1: other family members and families that I know like that
- 10:05Speaker 1: that it's obviously not a rule, but just the people
- 10:08Speaker 1: that I grew up with and people that I know friends, right,
- 10:11Speaker 1: I think Brendan's taller than Ree's right, and then they've
- 10:13Speaker 1: got their younger sister, Like it just works out like that.
- 10:16Speaker 1: So when I see two brothers and one's taller, I go, yeah,
- 10:18Speaker 1: you're the older one. But in this case, I when
- 10:21Speaker 1: Joe or rather John got two sisters, two oldest sisters. Yeah,
- 10:25Speaker 1: so it's a weirder rule. Yeah, And I'm thinking, who
- 10:29Speaker 1: is the older did you, like, did you let your
- 10:32Speaker 1: father down so much because you were the oldest and
- 10:35Speaker 1: he had your life planned out? And you're like, not me.
- 10:37Speaker 1: Whereas the second son comes along and sees his dad
- 10:41Speaker 1: and wants to impress his dad and doesn't want to
- 10:43Speaker 1: make the mistakes that his brother did that his dad
- 10:45Speaker 1: said were mistakes, not that they were just in that house,
- 10:48Speaker 1: and just wants to do whatever ever A daddy, you know, said,
- 10:51Speaker 1: I don't know, I would have liked to have explored
- 10:52Speaker 1: shit like that.
- 10:53Speaker 2: But you can choose your an adventure, because Holly, I
- 10:55Speaker 2: did google it. Dylan Neil as of twenty twenty five,
- 11:00Speaker 2: fifty five years old, and Joe Flanagan as of twenty
- 11:03Speaker 2: twenty five is fifty eight years old. Joe is older,
- 11:07Speaker 2: is a.
- 11:07Speaker 1: Life years and beautiful Saltan pepper beard that Joe Flanagan's
- 11:11Speaker 1: had the last couple of years.
- 11:12Speaker 2: Oh yeah, looks still more salt than pepper is as
- 11:15Speaker 2: we go on. But yeah, me too.
- 11:17Speaker 1: Oh mate, I'm doing that. I feel like I'm not
- 11:18Speaker 1: even going to go gray. I think I'm gonna go white.
- 11:21Speaker 1: I'll be Steve Martin, like at forty ogbi, you know,
- 11:24Speaker 1: white fox Sarah identify. The other night, I was like,
- 11:26Speaker 1: I was having a shave, and I don't I have
- 11:28Speaker 1: a clean shave, a clean chap, but maybe once a year.
- 11:29Speaker 1: And I was just sort of trimming with the electric
- 11:31Speaker 1: thing on my face, getting down to that sort of
- 11:33Speaker 1: like very short stubble, and then I had a couple
- 11:35Speaker 1: of you know, long ones in the in the old yeah,
- 11:37Speaker 1: you know, And I thought, I'm not plucking them, not
- 11:39Speaker 1: pulling out scissors. I've got the electric thing and I'm
- 11:41Speaker 1: going to take the risk by holding it up and
- 11:43Speaker 1: just trying to anyway. She sees me do it, She's like,
- 11:45Speaker 1: what are you What are you trimming? And I'm like
- 11:47Speaker 1: just sitting down. I got like one or two like
- 11:48Speaker 1: long ones. And then she said, have I have I
- 11:52Speaker 1: like mentioned to you yet about like maybe like maybe
- 11:57Speaker 1: coloring those or like just like subtly, And I'm like,
- 12:01Speaker 1: have you subtly mentioned your eyebrows dyeing my eyebrows? There's
- 12:05Speaker 1: no coloring them, like really subtly? I said, well, I
- 12:08Speaker 1: mean no, you haven't. I'm automatically like all that can sucks.
- 12:13Speaker 1: She said, you see people as she said her mom
- 12:15Speaker 1: went and mum got to a certain age and was,
- 12:17Speaker 1: you know, coloring her hair. She wasn't coloring her eyebrows.
- 12:19Speaker 1: And then so she goes, eyebrows will aid you, because
- 12:21Speaker 1: people will dye their hair, but they won't do the eyebrows,
- 12:25Speaker 1: and the eyebrows tell the truth, right, Like that's it.
- 12:27Speaker 1: You know. People are oh, I'm a natural blonde. It's
- 12:29Speaker 1: like your eyebrows are the darkest shade of brown. They
- 12:33Speaker 1: are all fifty shades of brown.
- 12:34Speaker 2: I used to use clear sel wipes on my face
- 12:38Speaker 2: and they had bleach in them. So when I would
- 12:39Speaker 2: accidentally just kind of like you know, swipe the outside
- 12:43Speaker 2: of my eyebrows, the outside of my eyebrows would go
- 12:46Speaker 2: like blonde, bleach blonde. Yeah, so had to stop doing that.
- 12:49Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 12:50Speaker 2: I've been known to every now and then just to
- 12:52Speaker 2: get rid of the salt and pepper sometimes I'll do
- 12:54Speaker 2: some of that just for men, which just a little
- 12:55Speaker 2: rins through. Yeah, it just doesn't see.
- 12:58Speaker 1: I haven't done it. It always No, I'm going to grow
- 13:00Speaker 1: age gracefull. I'm not gonna I'm gonna do that. So
- 13:01Speaker 1: if we're gonna get bald, I'm gonna go bald, we're
- 13:03Speaker 1: gonna go gray or white, I'm gonna go. Then that first,
- 13:07Speaker 1: that first non like dark brown chest hair that I saw,
- 13:12Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, oh no, I mean that was
- 13:14Speaker 1: years ago. Now there's a there's a whole camp side.
- 13:18Speaker 2: Of migrating south.
- 13:19Speaker 1: Oh yes, well I haven't got that yet. That'll be
- 13:22Speaker 1: that'll be the real tester about how I feel. So yeah, Joe,
- 13:26Speaker 1: I mean stunning, stunning bit oh my god, it's glorious.
- 13:30Speaker 1: Well there you go. I would naturally look at Joe
- 13:32Speaker 1: and go, we're the older brother. So I wouldst like
- 13:34Speaker 1: to explore, Yes, there you go, I'd like to explore.
- 13:38Speaker 1: Not that that matters, but maybe it did, maybe the relationship,
- 13:40Speaker 1: but it just felt like, hey, here's this cool, interesting content.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Look at this look replicated human made replicate through every here.
- 13:47Speaker 2: Apparently no one at the SGC was available. So even
- 13:49Speaker 2: though because I say, Joe, even though John was technically
- 13:54Speaker 2: on like like personal leave, you know, he just decided
- 13:59Speaker 2: to just go and run this mission about replicators. Yeah,
- 14:02Speaker 2: he knows nothing about replicators. Like old mate Bill Lee
- 14:05Speaker 2: had Doctor Lee had to show him. I had to
- 14:07Speaker 2: explain to him what was it the neutronium or whatever
- 14:11Speaker 2: it was. Yeah, He'd like he didn't even know what
- 14:14Speaker 2: that was. So I'm just like, what, why why was
- 14:18Speaker 2: he running this mission? He knew nothing about.
- 14:20Speaker 1: It, being weird tied into it and like, you know,
- 14:25Speaker 1: interesting enough that they've you know, like because I'm watching
- 14:28Speaker 1: the previously on, I'm like, why are we going back
- 14:30Speaker 1: to this? Where's the follow up to this? And then
- 14:32Speaker 1: when it opens up and says, hey, your dad's had
- 14:34Speaker 1: a heart attack and he's died. It'd be different if
- 14:36Speaker 1: he just had a heart attack, And then I'm oh,
- 14:38Speaker 1: so they're going to go back and are they going
- 14:41Speaker 1: to be able to use the NATS to try and
- 14:42Speaker 1: save his day? Because that why that was in the
- 14:44Speaker 1: previously on. It's like no, no, no, we're just going
- 14:46Speaker 1: to reference that this chick like used to work for
- 14:48Speaker 1: this guy that was in the previously on, Like we
- 14:50Speaker 1: almost didn't even need that we could have just mentioned
- 14:52Speaker 1: his name and if he got it, you got it.
- 14:53Speaker 1: If you didn't, you didn't anything.
- 14:55Speaker 2: After doing after doing two Genie episodes over the last
- 14:58Speaker 2: two years, it's like we know a lot about Rodney's
- 15:01Speaker 2: family now and Genie and it's not even after the
- 15:04Speaker 2: first McKay Missus Miller episode. We knew so much about
- 15:08Speaker 2: Rodney and Genie and all that kind of stuff, and
- 15:10Speaker 2: it's like, well, after this, well, his dad's dead, so
- 15:13Speaker 2: we don't really know much about that. We don't even
- 15:16Speaker 2: know whether it was it was the reason that he
- 15:19Speaker 2: joined the militaries because he didn't want to get on
- 15:21Speaker 2: the conveyor but with the family business, and that was
- 15:24Speaker 2: his way of rebelling, and we don't really know any
- 15:27Speaker 2: of that. We don't you know, we don't get to
- 15:28Speaker 2: see any reconciliation, Like, well we see that at the end,
- 15:33Speaker 2: but we don't know how that conversation goes. Just because
- 15:35Speaker 2: he walked in doesn't mean it ended.
- 15:36Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I hate when they do that. It's just
- 15:39Speaker 1: you know, like there's an awkward there's a secret someone's
- 15:41Speaker 1: been keeping from another character. For the entirety of a
- 15:44Speaker 1: movie or eight episodes of a TV show and then
- 15:47Speaker 1: when they finally like have the guts to go and
- 15:49Speaker 1: tell the person they've been keeping it from, it just
- 15:52Speaker 1: zooms out. Music comes up and you see them talking
- 15:56Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, no, no, don't puss out, like show
- 15:58Speaker 1: me that.
- 15:59Speaker 2: Rite that yeah, like me. It might have been a
- 16:01Speaker 2: little bit of a cliche, but it might have even
- 16:03Speaker 2: been more interesting and added an extra element to it
- 16:05Speaker 2: if the fact that Nancy left Joe John for the
- 16:10Speaker 2: other brother something like that, you know.
- 16:12Speaker 1: What I mean, juicy, or she left him John's been
- 16:15Speaker 1: off world for a couple of years. Yeah, comes back
- 16:17Speaker 1: for the funeral, goes, oh why are you here?
- 16:20Speaker 2: Oh, well, of Nancy's consoling the brother of the death
- 16:23Speaker 2: of their father and ends.
- 16:24Speaker 1: Up soling his bloody brains. Absolutely, that would have been
- 16:28Speaker 1: because again like she pops in, it's like, oh, I
- 16:30Speaker 1: told you I had I was married before to RONI yeah,
- 16:33Speaker 1: And I'm like, I think I forget that, Like, is
- 16:36Speaker 1: that something we've talked about much before? Because I forgot
- 16:38Speaker 1: that all about Shepherd, that he that he'd previously been married.
- 16:42Speaker 2: He mentioned it. I can't remember he either mentioned it
- 16:45Speaker 2: in Sunday or it was in Sunday and I got
- 16:47Speaker 2: cut out. I can't remember the actual way that worked,
- 16:51Speaker 2: but it has been a brief, brief reference to it.
- 16:53Speaker 1: Yeah, and so like for her to like to be
- 16:56Speaker 1: the again interesting family thing to bring into it. That
- 17:00Speaker 1: could have just been somebody else that worked them, Like,
- 17:04Speaker 1: we didn't need that, We didn't need that connection of
- 17:07Speaker 1: him personally to be what gave him the assist in
- 17:11Speaker 1: the other side of the episode's story. That could have
- 17:14Speaker 1: just been someone else at the like the fact that
- 17:17Speaker 1: meant some bloke, Oh, I used to work at Atlantis. Great,
- 17:20Speaker 1: he could have known someone that could have given the
- 17:22Speaker 1: information that Nancy did. It would have made no difference
- 17:25Speaker 1: to the story because there was nothing else interesting about
- 17:29Speaker 1: the wife. Oh, she's been remarried. Well, she was remarried.
- 17:32Speaker 1: In the first scene he refers to Greg, oh, Grant, okay,
- 17:35Speaker 1: good whatever, Like it's not like she had to reveal
- 17:38Speaker 1: to him she was married. He already knew that there
- 17:40Speaker 1: was nothing particularly interesting about that character being a previous
- 17:45Speaker 1: a former wife of Shepherd, Like, it could have been anybody.
- 17:48Speaker 2: Yeah, it's like and they brought back Banks for this
- 17:51Speaker 2: episode as the an ide operatic Hi Away operative and
- 17:54Speaker 2: stuff like that, and it's like, well, that could have
- 17:56Speaker 2: been Nancy, or you know, you could have got rid
- 17:59Speaker 2: of Nancy and Banks could have been the one that
- 18:02Speaker 2: got the information that we needed, or you know, you
- 18:03Speaker 2: could have amalgamated those characters. It just and like the
- 18:08Speaker 2: the fact that Rodney like copped out and said he
- 18:11Speaker 2: couldn't come back, like and that was their way of
- 18:14Speaker 2: writing Rodney out of the episode. But it's like he's
- 18:16Speaker 2: the head of his own department. All. He basically says
- 18:19Speaker 2: he had to go and check on that planet from
- 18:21Speaker 2: season one, the Kid episode. It's like, well, the last
- 18:24Speaker 2: time we saw that planet, the check guy what's his name, Zelenka,
- 18:31Speaker 2: he went there, you know. So it's like Rodney didn't
- 18:34Speaker 2: have to be the one he could have He could
- 18:36Speaker 2: have authorized an entire team to go and do that.
- 18:39Speaker 2: So it's like I would have preferred if they kind
- 18:43Speaker 2: of leant into the fact that maybe there was a
- 18:44Speaker 2: scene once Rodney walked away from Shepherd that it was
- 18:50Speaker 2: a lie because you know, maybe Rodney doesn't deal well
- 18:54Speaker 2: with grief and death and stuff like that, and and
- 18:57Speaker 2: it came from a place of love of him caring
- 19:00Speaker 2: so much about Shepherd that he knew that he would
- 19:03Speaker 2: be awkward and make things bad if he went, so
- 19:06Speaker 2: his way of supporting John was to remove himself, or
- 19:10Speaker 2: you know something like you just, I just I didn't
- 19:13Speaker 2: buy that whole thing, that whole stupid thing.
- 19:15Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 19:16Speaker 2: Of Roady being like, oh sorry, I'd come if I could, I'm.
- 19:19Speaker 1: Not because you could, like you know, Zelenka needs help,
- 19:23Speaker 1: or Zelenka is on another planet. Maybe there's a network
- 19:26Speaker 1: wide thing of these particular devices that he has to
- 19:28Speaker 1: go and fix, like you could. If you're going to
- 19:29Speaker 1: write it, you could have written anything other than ah,
- 19:33Speaker 1: I'm just busy though, because of all the reasons that
- 19:36Speaker 1: you just said. I don't know if you've got any
- 19:37Speaker 1: behind the scenes information on it. But obviously Carter is
- 19:41Speaker 1: the one that breaks the news to John. That's their
- 19:42Speaker 1: only shot an entire episode. So I mean, depending on
- 19:46Speaker 1: how Hard knows to her manager and an agent want
- 19:49Speaker 1: to play this, this could have counted as a as
- 19:52Speaker 1: an episode or no contract, right, Yeah, I guess because
- 19:55Speaker 1: it does appear in here, like they would have to
- 19:57Speaker 1: be so careful if you know, like we were talking
- 19:59Speaker 1: about with the Christopher Idle title the other week, where
- 20:06Speaker 1: you know, they were filming some stuff and it got
- 20:08Speaker 1: put into another episode. Now, obviously he's still appeed in
- 20:11Speaker 1: that episode. But when they do film stuff and it's
- 20:14Speaker 1: not working, let's save it, and they put it in.
- 20:15Speaker 1: You'd have to be so careful with contracts because like, yeah,
- 20:17Speaker 1: you're paying me for that episode. I'm so sorry because
- 20:20Speaker 1: it's aired another one as well. So technically I'm in
- 20:24Speaker 1: two episodes this season, So I'd like to say that,
- 20:27Speaker 1: like this was literally one shot of two hours that week, yeah,
- 20:33Speaker 1: or just you know, hey, can.
- 20:35Speaker 2: You just stay back for a quick five after.
- 20:37Speaker 1: She's filming next week's episode?
- 20:39Speaker 2: Well, spoiler alert, next week is a very Carter heavy episode.
- 20:43Speaker 1: Right, so she that might have been what they did.
- 20:44Speaker 1: They just they quickly use her for an extra ten
- 20:47Speaker 1: minutes and maybe her being around for so long.
- 20:50Speaker 2: She's like, Yeah, I actually thinking about it now. I
- 20:54Speaker 2: kind of wish next week and this week had been
- 20:56Speaker 2: Remember back in season eight or seven of SG one,
- 21:01Speaker 2: whether those two episodes are happened at the same time,
- 21:03Speaker 2: the one where we meet Varla and Daniel and they're
- 21:06Speaker 2: all from the Prometheus, and then the next episode is
- 21:09Speaker 2: Gemini where it's Karter, Replakata, and Tilk on the Alpha site.
- 21:15Speaker 2: Gamma site whatever, and those technically happened at the same time.
- 21:19Speaker 2: I would almost wish that they did that here because
- 21:23Speaker 2: next week's episode, as far as I'm aware from what
- 21:26Speaker 2: I remember, is predominantly McKay, Carter, and Keller. It's an
- 21:31Speaker 2: episode for them because I think at this point Rachel
- 21:36Speaker 2: has given birth. I'm not sure. I think I think
- 21:39Speaker 2: that's why she's been out of these episodes. I can't
- 21:41Speaker 2: confirm that yet.
- 21:42Speaker 1: I didn't even think about the fact we haven't seen her.
- 21:45Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think she might even be on maternity
- 21:48Speaker 2: leave or something like that. So yeah, I kind of
- 21:51Speaker 2: like the idea that maybe next week's episode Trio and
- 21:54Speaker 2: this episode took place at the same time, and that
- 21:56Speaker 2: at least has five characters on two different planets at
- 21:59Speaker 2: the same time. It mud have been a nice way
- 22:01Speaker 2: to tie them in. Spoiler alert, next week has nothing
- 22:04Speaker 2: to do with replicators. So, speaking of you mentioned before,
- 22:11Speaker 2: how you know Spotify will get angry at us if
- 22:14Speaker 2: we played the outcast song? Would they get angry as
- 22:17Speaker 2: if we played the opening theme song to one of
- 22:18Speaker 2: the Power Rangers spin offs.
- 22:20Speaker 1: Let's try with the four and what am I looking for?
- 22:39Speaker 2: Yellow Ranger?
- 22:40Speaker 1: I just saw her Power Rangers raw? Is that what parrangers?
- 22:48Speaker 2: Parranger, Dino Thunder Avid Dixon was the Yellow Power Ranger.
- 22:53Speaker 2: Oh right right, TV shirts the one where Tommy came back.
- 22:56Speaker 2: He came back as the Black Power Ranger.
- 22:58Speaker 1: Like what the first time he came back or a lot? Right?
- 23:01Speaker 2: Yeah he was he was, well, no, he did. He
- 23:03Speaker 2: did a whole run. He was the Green Ranger, then
- 23:05Speaker 2: he was the White Ranger, then he was the Red
- 23:06Speaker 2: Turbo Ranger, then he was no, sorry, he was the
- 23:08Speaker 2: Red Zeo Ranger, and then he was the Red Turbo Range.
- 23:10Speaker 1: Did read zero?
- 23:11Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 23:12Speaker 1: Was that still like the actual zero run before it
- 23:14Speaker 1: went to turbo?
- 23:15Speaker 2: Yes, because it went from Mighty Morphin into zero into turbo.
- 23:19Speaker 1: Yeah, that's where I stopped.
- 23:20Speaker 2: And then he left turbo because he was the last
- 23:23Speaker 2: one because everyone else had gone by there a good call.
- 23:26Speaker 2: And then this came out and that would have been
- 23:27Speaker 2: ninety seven or something like that, and then this came
- 23:29Speaker 2: out in like two thousand and one, two thousand and two,
- 23:31Speaker 2: where he was like the zored on carriage. He was
- 23:33Speaker 2: like a grown up and he was an archaeologist and
- 23:34Speaker 2: he became the black Brachiosaurus Ranger or something like that.
- 23:38Speaker 2: To the there was just three power ranges in that one.
- 23:40Speaker 2: There was the Red, the Yellow, and the Blue and
- 23:41Speaker 2: that was it. And Avia Dixon she was the Yellow
- 23:45Speaker 2: Dino Thunder Ranger. Was she a Kiwi, She's a natural Kiwi.
- 23:49Speaker 2: Her accent was fake.
- 23:50Speaker 1: She she nailed it. Then, yeah, she did a good job. Yeah, wow, Okay,
- 23:55Speaker 1: I didn't know he did a zero appearance, so just.
- 23:58Speaker 2: To say he's the only read Zeo Ranger, so he was.
- 24:03Speaker 1: I don't remember. I mean, you know, I did did
- 24:06Speaker 1: Mamighty morphin Zeo. I'm like, this is different.
- 24:08Speaker 2: But you know, the costumes are not good and it's
- 24:13Speaker 2: and then the Zords were weird too. There was like
- 24:15Speaker 2: a Sphinx sword or something like that.
- 24:16Speaker 1: But as soon as they got cars in Turbo, I
- 24:18Speaker 1: think I was like, all right, yeah.
- 24:21Speaker 2: The other Rangers. So Kimberly left before Zeo. She she
- 24:26Speaker 2: chapped out in Ninja because that's when we got Cat
- 24:28Speaker 2: and she was the pink Ninja Ranger.
- 24:31Speaker 1: And then Billy like there was something between Marty Morphon
- 24:34Speaker 1: and Zeo. Oh no.
- 24:37Speaker 2: Season three of Mighty Morphine is technically where they had
- 24:41Speaker 2: the Ninja pause. The Shogun Megazord and then remember they
- 24:43Speaker 2: got turned into kids, and then there was the Aquatar
- 24:45Speaker 2: Alien Rangers.
- 24:46Speaker 1: Right this thirty years ago. I wish that I did
- 24:49Speaker 1: because I'm like, well, in my head, I'm like, it
- 24:51Speaker 1: goes from Marty Morphin, You've got the movie in there
- 24:53Speaker 1: and then you've got zero.
- 24:54Speaker 2: Well, the movie is a different universe.
- 24:56Speaker 1: So you said to me the other week, that blows
- 24:57Speaker 1: my mind.
- 24:57Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's a different connunity. Because at the beginning
- 25:01Speaker 2: of season three of Power Range of the TV show,
- 25:03Speaker 2: they lose the thunderswords and then go and meet Ninjaw
- 25:06Speaker 2: and that's how they get the ninjaswords, which is a
- 25:08Speaker 2: different continuity to the movie where they go and see
- 25:10Speaker 2: Dulcia on the planet Fados.
- 25:12Speaker 1: So similar story.
- 25:15Speaker 2: Similar story arc where they lose their powers have to
- 25:17Speaker 2: go and get the ninjaswords like the frog and the
- 25:19Speaker 2: falcon and the wolf and the ape and all that
- 25:21Speaker 2: kind of stuff. But in the TV show they introduced
- 25:24Speaker 2: Rita Ropulso, who's Reader Repulse's brother, who's the Skeleton Guy,
- 25:28Speaker 2: Camo colored Skeleton Guy, and then they meet Ninjaw, who
- 25:32Speaker 2: is this blue robot guy who created the power coins.
- 25:34Speaker 2: Originally dogs like this and that's how they get the
- 25:37Speaker 2: Ninja powers. And then once they get those, they have
- 25:40Speaker 2: those same outfits that they had from the movie where
- 25:42Speaker 2: they're like the pink and the gold and the red
- 25:44Speaker 2: and the gold and the blue. And then that's when
- 25:46Speaker 2: Kimberly left and we got cat instead.
- 25:49Speaker 1: And I have zero memory, and.
- 25:52Speaker 2: They and then they will get turned to kids, and
- 25:54Speaker 2: then Ayisha never comes back and she gets replaced by
- 25:57Speaker 2: a different girl from the past in Africa who then
- 25:59Speaker 2: becomes old, and then they all become the Zeo Rangers
- 26:02Speaker 2: and they all go through that. Billy Billy has to
- 26:06Speaker 2: leave at some point because he's growing old or something
- 26:09Speaker 2: he gets he gets, yeah, he had to. He went
- 26:13Speaker 2: to like the Aquatar planet with the ladies or whatever,
- 26:15Speaker 2: and then there was zero and then in Turbo there
- 26:18Speaker 2: was no Black Ranger, so Adam my favorite, had to
- 26:21Speaker 2: become the Green Ranger. And then Tommy left and then
- 26:25Speaker 2: that's when they brought in the other guy who became
- 26:27Speaker 2: like the new Turbo Rangers, and then the Turbo Rangers
- 26:29Speaker 2: became the Space Rangers where they did Power Rangers in space.
- 26:37Speaker 2: And that's only the first five seasons of thirty and
- 26:41Speaker 2: it's all there's all continuity. It all goes from one
- 26:44Speaker 2: to the other, to the other, to the other to
- 26:45Speaker 2: the other.
- 26:46Speaker 1: So they were all on the same like Earth essentially.
- 26:48Speaker 2: No different earths and different timelines. But it's like every
- 26:51Speaker 2: season there's a crossover. So like in the in Space episodes,
- 26:57Speaker 2: all the Turbo Rangers come back and then in then
- 26:59Speaker 2: one after that the in Space, So the previous ranges
- 27:02Speaker 2: from the previous year always go and do a little
- 27:05Speaker 2: team up episode in the in the following but.
- 27:07Speaker 1: Go into a different dimension or.
- 27:08Speaker 2: No, sometimes it's in the same I'd say probably twenty
- 27:11Speaker 2: out of the thirty Power Ranges all take place on Earth.
- 27:14Speaker 2: That some take place at different times. Like there was
- 27:16Speaker 2: the Time Force Rangers who were from the future, right,
- 27:19Speaker 2: and then there was more recently there was a diner
- 27:21Speaker 2: Charge range.
- 27:21Speaker 1: The show is set in the future, yes, right, they were.
- 27:24Speaker 2: There were Time Force Power Ranger and they could travel
- 27:25Speaker 2: through time. They were kind of like what we talked
- 27:27Speaker 2: about the other week that Minority Reporter. It's kind of
- 27:29Speaker 2: like that where they go back back and forward in
- 27:31Speaker 2: time stopping things. And then there was like Dino Charge
- 27:34Speaker 2: where they live in a universe where at the end
- 27:36Speaker 2: of it, all the dinosaurs come back to life, and
- 27:38Speaker 2: it's like directing park you can you can go and
- 27:40Speaker 2: see their dinosaurs, so that takes place in a different
- 27:42Speaker 2: timeline universe to this side.
- 27:45Speaker 1: Well done. Oh my god, nerd, that's like that is
- 27:49Speaker 1: some high grade nerd shit, right, love there, and I
- 27:51Speaker 1: hope you, I hope you take that with the utmost respects, absolutely,
- 27:54Speaker 1: because the way you rattle that off was like you
- 27:56Speaker 1: watched it all last week?
- 27:58Speaker 2: Do you watch the Power Rangers movie over the weekend?
- 28:00Speaker 1: Did you? God? I love that thirtieth anniversary.
- 28:02Speaker 2: That's how I pulled that fatos out of the back
- 28:04Speaker 2: of my ass.
- 28:05Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gotta I'm gotta get there with my kids
- 28:07Speaker 1: where we're nearing. We're nearing that sort of stage of
- 28:10Speaker 1: the show.
- 28:11Speaker 2: It's a perfect movie except for the CGI at the end.
- 28:13Speaker 2: But that's okay.
- 28:14Speaker 1: It's a little too deep, but it's fine. It's like
- 28:16Speaker 1: they took the TV budget and go, well, how it
- 28:19Speaker 1: we give you like five episodes worth to make a movie. Okay, fine,
- 28:22Speaker 1: let's do it. It's all of the budget. It's fine.
- 28:25Speaker 2: Your kids are going to feel some things when they
- 28:26Speaker 2: meet Dulcia.
- 28:28Speaker 1: I hope, yeah, yeah, probably, I mean Lincoln and I
- 28:31Speaker 1: sure did. Oh yeah, that.
- 28:34Speaker 2: Was a moment.
- 28:36Speaker 1: Still, remember where I was Karendale Cinemas. I remember having
- 28:40Speaker 1: to go to the bathroom when they were on that planet.
- 28:42Speaker 1: I'm like, just get back, hurry up. I don't think
- 28:45Speaker 1: I've ever gone to the toilet during a minual.
- 28:47Speaker 2: Here's I think we've spoken about this trivia before, but
- 28:49Speaker 2: the original Dulcia was your mate from the one you
- 28:54Speaker 2: love from Laura Order whatever it is, what's her name?
- 28:57Speaker 2: She was originally cast as Dulcia. Oh and she had
- 29:00Speaker 2: to pull out for some other reason or another. You
- 29:02Speaker 2: wouldn't have pulled out.
- 29:03Speaker 1: But oh, absolutely, mate, no, thank you.
- 29:05Speaker 2: I think, of course you do.
- 29:10Speaker 1: This.
- 29:10Speaker 2: This is the music Mitchell listens. If this, if this
- 29:13Speaker 2: is playing in the background of pawn Mitchell is.
- 29:15Speaker 1: Just imagine b having an argument with my kids and like,
- 29:19Speaker 1: tell us what happened?
- 29:22Speaker 2: Actually, yeah, no, I do believe there are some images
- 29:26Speaker 2: somewhere of in there out. Okay, so you might gives
- 29:30Speaker 2: them googling.

- 31:02Speaker 1: then she left. No, no, no, no, let's just really break
- 31:04Speaker 1: it down. I got a little real less for you
- 31:06Speaker 1: thing going on. Yeah, and like, okay, so you know,
- 31:12Speaker 1: back to the back to the old the old Airpet's like, cool,
- 31:15Speaker 1: we're making a replicator. Okay, great. I'm like, and I
- 31:18Speaker 1: thought they were all gone, okay, well now we're making
- 31:20Speaker 1: a different replicator again. Okay, sweet.
- 31:24Speaker 2: I didn't understand, like, because obviously the big twist at
- 31:27Speaker 2: the end is that Ava is also a replicator. So
- 31:31Speaker 2: if she's a replicator and she knew that her and
- 31:34Speaker 2: doctor wats his face had created this other replicator who
- 31:37Speaker 2: went rogue, she was upset about Professor Guy because it
- 31:43Speaker 2: was he was like her father or something like that.
- 31:46Speaker 2: But then why wouldn't she have thought the other replicator
- 31:50Speaker 2: was like her brother or son or something like that.
- 31:53Speaker 2: And why would she get the SGC involved to track
- 31:56Speaker 2: down this other replicator knowing that there was a risk
- 32:00Speaker 2: that then she would be discovered as a replicator.
- 32:03Speaker 1: Well yeah, that's when when they first discovered it. I
- 32:06Speaker 1: just assumed I'm like, oh shit, she doesn't know, Like
- 32:09Speaker 1: would make sense because he was very like a blank slate.
- 32:12Speaker 2: I think it would have made more senses. She didn't
- 32:14Speaker 2: know she was replicated.
- 32:15Speaker 1: But then, of course, because.
- 32:16Speaker 2: Then there was the weird reveal at the end where
- 32:18Speaker 2: they said, oh, Avid Dixon died nine years ago or
- 32:20Speaker 2: whatever it was, and I was like, okay, so is
- 32:23Speaker 2: that like a situation from McCay missus Miller where they
- 32:26Speaker 2: brought that person back to life, like the professor guy
- 32:29Speaker 2: brought her back to life and she was the reanimated
- 32:32Speaker 2: body of yeah, or was she fully synthetic?
- 32:35Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 32:35Speaker 2: I don't care. She just don't care.
- 32:39Speaker 1: I assumed it was it was full synthetic, and only
- 32:41Speaker 1: because again I was getting a bit like again before
- 32:44Speaker 1: they revealed, and again it was so many things happening, right,
- 32:47Speaker 1: so it's like, Oh, she's out in the real world,
- 32:48Speaker 1: and I'm like, this is gonna get complicated. And then
- 32:51Speaker 1: where Shepherd just seemed like phase out of the park
- 32:56Speaker 1: and I'm like, there are people around me, and then
- 33:00Speaker 1: he pops out and I'm like, is that the machine
- 33:03Speaker 1: that he makes him phase travel like beam traveler?
- 33:08Speaker 2: Oh shit, I believe those are the pods from.
- 33:15Speaker 1: She's in the matrix? Yeah, and she doesn't know. Is
- 33:18Speaker 1: that a good idea to piss off some AI?
- 33:20Speaker 2: Like?
- 33:21Speaker 1: Are we gonna you know well Mitchell? Oh no, Might
- 33:24Speaker 1: I interest you?
- 33:26Speaker 2: In an episode of a great well and okay sci
- 33:28Speaker 2: fi show from the eighties, this trivia I bring to
- 33:31Speaker 2: you from the Stargate Stargated lenis Outcast IMDb. The ending
- 33:38Speaker 2: is very similar to The Star Trek Next Generation Season
- 33:41Speaker 2: six's Ship in a Bottle from nineteen ninety three, both
- 33:44Speaker 2: and in an artificial intelligence believing it is free, but
- 33:47Speaker 2: in fact exists in a computer situation played by Niles
- 33:51Speaker 2: from The Nanny Oh playing Professor Moriarty, who is oh yeah,
- 33:58Speaker 2: little evil Moriarty stuck in a little yeah what that's okay,
- 34:03Speaker 2: I'll take it.
- 34:04Speaker 1: I know. And you know, by this stage last week
- 34:06Speaker 1: you'd had you'd had two of them, and you're really
- 34:09Speaker 1: trying hard to get a third that I know you
- 34:12Speaker 1: could if I know, you are a very nice thing,
- 34:14Speaker 1: You're very generous. But I was I assume again at
- 34:18Speaker 1: that point doesn't really matter because she is in the computer,
- 34:22Speaker 1: but you know, she's walking around like beautiful actress, beautiful woman,
- 34:26Speaker 1: and she's getting around and you know, he's like, what
- 34:29Speaker 1: are you going to do? Well, as long as I
- 34:30Speaker 1: don't go and work in any science field, they said,
- 34:32Speaker 1: you know whatever. And part of me was going to
- 34:35Speaker 1: be like I thought she was. I don't know why
- 34:36Speaker 1: I thought she was. Maybe because she looked like she
- 34:38Speaker 1: looked like a teacher in what she was wearing. I thought,
- 34:41Speaker 1: is she going to say maybe she got into teaching,
- 34:42Speaker 1: like rather than do what she was doing, and and
- 34:46Speaker 1: and to go away from the fears about what they
- 34:48Speaker 1: might have she could do if she had the opportunity,
- 34:51Speaker 1: She's going to go and try and help humans and
- 34:52Speaker 1: teach humans and look after young humans. And I'm like
- 34:55Speaker 1: she would be in that moment, I'm like, she would
- 34:57Speaker 1: make a great educator because she probably doesn't forget anything,
- 35:01Speaker 1: you know, and she would find the best way to
- 35:03Speaker 1: be able to teach and to be able to carry
- 35:05Speaker 1: all that sort of stuff on and and and you know,
- 35:08Speaker 1: put it into I don't know it's in effect, but then.
- 35:11Speaker 2: Every year the computer program has got to create another
- 35:13Speaker 2: thirty kids for her to teach, you know what I mean?
- 35:15Speaker 1: Well, yeah, I wanted to find out it doesn't really Yeah.
- 35:18Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought the more clever way it was because
- 35:20Speaker 2: was it doctor Lee or maybe McKay said no, I
- 35:23Speaker 2: could have been mackay because he was so Doctor Lee
- 35:26Speaker 2: said she would be really useful at the SGC, like
- 35:28Speaker 2: she would. Oh, so I think what would have been
- 35:30Speaker 2: a better cover story is to have her quote unquote
- 35:34Speaker 2: working at the SGC inside this artificial you know, landscape,
- 35:41Speaker 2: so that, yeah, we can use her powerful brain computing
- 35:45Speaker 2: power to when the SGC needs problem solved, they can they.
- 35:49Speaker 1: Can send doctor Lee in. Yeah, yep. He was the
- 35:52Speaker 1: one that sort of stood up for it. Go give
- 35:54Speaker 1: her a problem, give it that real life coding and stuff,
- 35:56Speaker 1: and hey, when you just sort out this, she gives
- 35:59Speaker 1: it to me. Is like, I'll take this away because
- 36:01Speaker 1: either way I going. We can't we can't just switch
- 36:03Speaker 1: her off. We can't kill her. We don't want to
- 36:04Speaker 1: do that. We can't let her out in the real world.
- 36:06Speaker 1: And and you can't send her off off world either.
- 36:10Speaker 1: No one's in for that. Well what else do we do?
- 36:13Speaker 1: And I'm like, well, now, isn't arguably isn't it like
- 36:16Speaker 1: for her? If you're worried about it on a moral standpoint,
- 36:18Speaker 1: aren't you more worried now about the idea, Well, they
- 36:23Speaker 1: don't have to be worried, they never have to think
- 36:25Speaker 1: about her again. But morally that she will realize what's
- 36:28Speaker 1: going on and she would just be aware that she
- 36:30Speaker 1: is stuck in an artificial world and she like.
- 36:35Speaker 2: Fifth scenario, remember fifth, when you got you know, and
- 36:38Speaker 2: then suddenly we've got another enemy we've got to worry about.
- 36:42Speaker 2: Whereas Yeah, and it's and it's like if that unit
- 36:44Speaker 2: ever loses power, which you know with the SGC happens,
- 36:47Speaker 2: you know, then she she no longer exists because it's
- 36:52Speaker 2: like they did obliterate her body. So it's a weird. Essentially,
- 36:56Speaker 2: she's been sentenced to life in prison, but at one
- 36:59Speaker 2: of the like cushy you know, white collar prisons, you know,
- 37:03Speaker 2: with like badminton and swimming.
- 37:05Speaker 1: Yeah, it's probably a really good maybe there has been
- 37:07Speaker 1: because I haven't seen the last couple of seasons, but
- 37:08Speaker 1: it's like a really good, you know, black mirror style
- 37:12Speaker 1: episode to this where you know, it's like, well, we're
- 37:15Speaker 1: just going to transfer your consciousness into this thing as
- 37:17Speaker 1: part of a means of like saving space and you know,
- 37:20Speaker 1: prisons and whatnot. We're just going to stick you inside
- 37:22Speaker 1: a computer. But once you realize that, it's like, oh no,
- 37:24Speaker 1: you will theoretically be here forever and you just have
- 37:27Speaker 1: to get past that. But maybe maybe that's a more
- 37:30Speaker 1: comfortable world for her because she is She knew that
- 37:32Speaker 1: she was artificial, she knew she was part of a program,
- 37:35Speaker 1: so integrating her into that program, you know, because again
- 37:39Speaker 1: when you said is she real or is she you know,
- 37:43Speaker 1: is she made of nanits and whatnot? And which you know,
- 37:47Speaker 1: the other bloke was getting in a shot and in
- 37:49Speaker 1: a very TV budget, you know, T one thousands, you know,
- 37:52Speaker 1: like sparks flying off him in little pieces of metal
- 37:54Speaker 1: and stuff, and he never probably recovered that you would
- 37:58Speaker 1: get the idea that she is made of you know, time,
- 38:00Speaker 1: little shards and stuff. But had she have been real?
- 38:05Speaker 1: And they're thinking, well, either way, I'm like, what does
- 38:07Speaker 1: this mean? Like if you go off and live in
- 38:09Speaker 1: this real world before I knew that it wasn't the
- 38:10Speaker 1: real world. You're a beautiful woman. At some stage a
- 38:14Speaker 1: man or another woman is going to come up and
- 38:16Speaker 1: try to hit on you and you're either going to
- 38:18Speaker 1: have to turn people down for the rest of your
- 38:19Speaker 1: life or you know, you are possibly made with the memories,
- 38:23Speaker 1: or you have been at least you've adapted to memories.
- 38:25Speaker 1: You've created your own memories. You have lived as a
- 38:27Speaker 1: human for ae. You've got a personality. The other bloke didn't.
- 38:30Speaker 1: But you've got a personality. At what point do you think, well,
- 38:34Speaker 1: I want to explore human emotion. I want to explore connection.
- 38:36Speaker 1: I want to explore love and what is that? What
- 38:39Speaker 1: is that like? Then when some shacks up with you,
- 38:41Speaker 1: you know, get a little intimate and he's all of
- 38:43Speaker 1: a sudden having sex with a robot and he's not
- 38:45Speaker 1: aware or you know, or.
- 38:47Speaker 2: What if what if the program think of it like
- 38:50Speaker 2: a like a free roaming computer game? What if what
- 38:54Speaker 2: if the programmers of that didn't right junk for all
- 38:57Speaker 2: the other people? And she she does getting naked with
- 39:00Speaker 2: someone and then takes their clothes off, and they're just
- 39:03Speaker 2: you know, eight bit characters under there because you know,
- 39:06Speaker 2: did some of the SGC really go well, this guy
- 39:09Speaker 2: is gonna be cut, This guy's gonna be uncut, This
- 39:13Speaker 2: guy is gonna be hung like a mofa you know
- 39:16Speaker 2: what I mean. This chick's gonna have a cups, this
- 39:19Speaker 2: chick's gonna have d cups like this chick's gonna have
- 39:23Speaker 2: Anzac nipples, This chick's gonna have little tiny pointy one.
- 39:26Speaker 1: Now, this one's gonna be on the crazy hot matrix
- 39:27Speaker 1: here here, and these guys are got like, you're right?
- 39:31Speaker 2: Or is there a part of Avera's brain that is
- 39:33Speaker 2: generating all that herself and she doesn't realize which point
- 39:36Speaker 2: it seems a little bit morally ambiguous.
- 39:40Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure there's at least four episodes of Starget
- 39:43Speaker 1: SG one where they have been part of a simulation
- 39:46Speaker 1: that was infinite in its like capacity to create. So
- 39:51Speaker 1: it could if she does exist on a computer within
- 39:54Speaker 1: the SGC that as Shepherd pops out, it could have
- 39:57Speaker 1: just been a line from Doctor Lee saying, well, yeah,
- 40:00Speaker 1: she's now exist blah blah blah because of that planet
- 40:03Speaker 1: that it like they could have mine had a reference
- 40:05Speaker 1: to season three, and then us like uber nerds that
- 40:08Speaker 1: remember all this sort of shit gamekeeper or that makes sense,
- 40:11Speaker 1: yeah exactly, so rather than us had these questions going,
- 40:15Speaker 1: does she leave the park or is the park like
- 40:17Speaker 1: you know a bit of free Guy bit of Truman
- 40:18Speaker 1: Show where she gets to the edge and it's just
- 40:20Speaker 1: like you know, end of simulation and she realizes.
- 40:23Speaker 2: That does she forget and she's just spending the rest
- 40:25Speaker 2: of her life walking laps in that park.
- 40:27Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, feeding the same ducks. You know.
- 40:30Speaker 2: I mean, I could spend the rest of my life
- 40:32Speaker 2: feeding ducks. That'd be all right, that'd be fun.
- 40:35Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so.
- 40:38Speaker 2: But yeah, I going in this episode. I remember the funeral,
- 40:42Speaker 2: but I remember it happening next season, I do not
- 40:44Speaker 2: it happening now. There's I remember an Earth based episode
- 40:47Speaker 2: with with with Ronan and she spoiler alert, and I
- 40:51Speaker 2: thought it was that episode and it turned out to
- 40:53Speaker 2: be this episode. But that's that's all I remember.
- 40:55Speaker 1: Yeah, And I just feel like I kind of like
- 40:58Speaker 1: it's almost like they had their shot. I wish they
- 41:00Speaker 1: had it and they'd taken it, but they didn't. Some
- 41:03Speaker 1: torn between whether I want to see a follow up
- 41:06Speaker 1: story episode about Shepherd and his family.
- 41:10Speaker 2: Because Nancy basically said, see your buddy, like you burnt
- 41:13Speaker 2: this bridge by doing this thing.
- 41:14Speaker 1: But the actress they brought in, I'm like, you're one
- 41:16Speaker 1: of those actresses that doesn't just come in and play
- 41:19Speaker 1: like a nothing role. Once you know you're someone that
- 41:22Speaker 1: you is, like the wife of the main character, or
- 41:25Speaker 1: is one of the you know, a desperate housewife type thing,
- 41:27Speaker 1: like you wanted a Core five, you know, ensemble sort
- 41:31Speaker 1: of cast. You know, she would be someone that would
- 41:34Speaker 1: come back and again, another beautiful actress come in, maybe
- 41:36Speaker 1: rekindle something with Shepherd. It's complicated. I've got to go
- 41:39Speaker 1: over to North Korea or China or wherever. All the
- 41:41Speaker 1: other bullshit that he kept telling it, I just yeah,
- 41:44Speaker 1: there's things that were there that were just to be there.
- 41:47Speaker 1: And then now that I'm thinking about the fact of
- 41:48Speaker 1: how long the previously on was, yeah, and all the
- 41:51Speaker 1: elements rather than just like, Hi, I'm millionaire, blah blah blah,
- 41:54Speaker 1: my daughter is dying. The nad Night's fixed her. Now
- 41:57Speaker 1: they're not. And it had to show oh, no, these
- 42:00Speaker 1: are my mercenaries going into kidnap you. Hey, here's your sister.
- 42:03Speaker 1: I'm going to kill your sister. This is my daughter.
- 42:05Speaker 1: It's like they show too much of that story that
- 42:07Speaker 1: was not relevant to this episode. All we needed was
- 42:11Speaker 1: the name and we didn't even need to see him.
- 42:12Speaker 1: But it's like they got to the end of this
- 42:14Speaker 1: episode they already threw everything at it went We're coming
- 42:17Speaker 1: in like seventy seconds short though, we're just going to
- 42:19Speaker 1: need a really long previously on just a really most numbers.
- 42:24Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, I mean's a better episode than last week,
- 42:27Speaker 1: more enjoyable on different fronts than last week. It's just
- 42:30Speaker 1: more frustrating and well like last week was like, this
- 42:32Speaker 1: is what we're doing. It's not going to be great,
- 42:34Speaker 1: but this is what they're doing, and it's what they did.
- 42:35Speaker 1: This episode was like, this is where we're going. Hey,
- 42:39Speaker 1: look a poppy and just like walks over shiny robot
- 42:42Speaker 1: T one thousand on TV and then what are we
- 42:45Speaker 1: doing something quick? Look at the brother that's right? Yeah, yeah,
- 42:50Speaker 1: done so strange but anyway.
- 42:54Speaker 2: Yeah, this is why season four is. It's not my
- 42:59Speaker 2: fat it However, however, next week, I think you will
- 43:04Speaker 2: be in for a pleasant.
- 43:05Speaker 1: Well, the fact that you said it is, I mean,
- 43:06Speaker 1: I'll take Rodney, I'll take a thorn between two roses,
- 43:10Speaker 1: Carter and Keller. Rodney, you talk about me being jealous
- 43:14Speaker 1: of Rocky from the from the Power Rangers hanging out
- 43:16Speaker 1: with Mushka Huga take, I mean just McKay hanging out
- 43:19Speaker 1: with Samantha Carter and doctor Keller. I mean, that's that's
- 43:23Speaker 1: a pleasant afternoon.
- 43:25Speaker 2: What you know what the next two week, we've got
- 43:27Speaker 2: we've got Trio, and then we've got Midway.
- 43:30Speaker 1: So, oh, Midway. I've heard you guys to Midway.
- 43:33Speaker 2: So you know we've got we've got a light. There's
- 43:36Speaker 2: a light, so towards the end of the tunnel.
- 43:39Speaker 1: It's just a small tunnel that we have to squeeze
- 43:40Speaker 1: out of.
- 43:41Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's it's what's that stallone movie where they're
- 43:44Speaker 2: trapped in the tunnel day Break, Daylight, Daylight. Yeah, it's
- 43:46Speaker 2: like that. Okay, you know there is light at the
- 43:48Speaker 2: end of the tunnel. But we've got to we've got
- 43:49Speaker 2: to work together.
- 43:50Speaker 1: If I watch Daylight between now and then, we'll help
- 43:52Speaker 1: me watch that.
- 43:53Speaker 2: It's just for the metaphor probably not. Okay, no, you might,
- 43:57Speaker 2: you might prefer it over the season finale, but that's
- 43:59Speaker 2: just me.
- 44:00Speaker 1: Ride a season for It's one thing for you to
- 44:01Speaker 1: go harm and he's a piece of shit. They're right
- 44:03Speaker 1: off the season finale.
- 44:04Speaker 2: Well, I'm just saying, we got, we got, We're almost done, mate.
- 44:06Speaker 2: We've got Trio, we've got Midway, we've got The Kindred
- 44:09Speaker 2: Part one and two and The Last Man. That's it. Wow,
- 44:12Speaker 2: season done.
- 44:13Speaker 1: Oh, just fact at the top, we're I'm like, oh,
- 44:14Speaker 1: episode fifteen, I'm like, wait what, We're just really getting
- 44:18Speaker 1: through this, yep, and we've got a two PARTA.
- 44:20Speaker 2: It's weird. It's we've got two episodes, then we've got
- 44:22Speaker 2: a two PARTA, but then the season finale is a
- 44:24Speaker 2: single episode that's not part of.
- 44:26Speaker 1: The two part Ah.
- 44:27Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, it's an interesting one.
- 44:30Speaker 1: Well, we'll be back next week. Trio, Get into Geek,
- 44:34Speaker 1: Get into Gate, Get into Gate Stargate podcast.
- 44:40Speaker 2: Get into it now before it's too late.
