- 0:25Get into Gate episode two hundred and thirty six. Back in the Pegasus Galaxy.
- 0:33My name is Mitch, joining me the Gibsons, Brendan, Hello there,
- 0:36and Maddie Hello, Satata Satita Satita. Okay, I'm the first time
- 0:43here and just I mean they said it in the episode. Sure, well,
- 0:46did you guys when when we rocked up? Sure? Did you know
- 0:49what I'm saying? Did you hear me like that was missing the name of
- 0:53Adam? Believe you? Yeah? No, well never I do believe.
- 0:56I don't care. But did you hit Just before we hit record? I
- 1:00I started chuckling to myself. I went to say something. I'm like,
- 1:03I'll save it because as I sat down on the chair about to hit record,
- 1:07I'm like, oh, yeah, I didn't watch the second half of
- 1:11this episode. Oh I was watching it today? Was it? Three?
- 1:17Star is furious right now, he's just switched off. He's gone to the
- 1:22next episode. In fairness, I didn't start the episode and went, yeah,
- 1:26I watched it, but then have proceeded to admit that I didn't pay
- 1:27attention to it. I'm fline out admitting that I was at my kid's swimming
- 1:34lessons and I was just watching it on my phone. Watched the first twenty
- 1:37minutes or so, so I've seen half the episode. And then I thought,
- 1:40that's right, I'm gonna you know, my night tonight. Right.
- 1:42I had to go and do a thing for work, and then I was
- 1:44going to get here with like half an hour spare because of and then work
- 1:48got delayed and I got hit ten minutes late. So well, let's do
- 1:51this synopsis and all that stuff, and then we're gonna do something unprecedented.
- 1:53We're gonna do a live reaction, Brandon, if you can bring it up
- 1:56on your phone. I think we need to show Mitch just that. You
- 1:59know the scene I'm talking about in the alleyway and the Yeah, yeah,
- 2:02we're gonna do a live reaction. Okay, yeah, I can do that.
- 2:05We're just gonna watch it, guys, and then we'll get me right
- 2:07back. Okay, yeah, all right, so punch out the old Okay.
- 2:13After a group of people capture Ronan and give him to the Wraith,
- 2:15he becomes a Runner again, but this time he's left on his home planet
- 2:20Setita, where the Stargate has been disabled. When you say that it was
- 2:23written by sorry, written by Robert C. Cooper directed by by Robert C.
- 2:28Cooper. We're gonna double robertson Cooper Boys. Hello, I'm Robert Cooper,
- 2:39an executive producer, a co creator, a writer, director. What
- 2:46else did they do? But enough about me? Again? Something about you?
- 2:52Yeah, he brought that, he brought it back, but enough about
- 2:53me? Oh my god. There was a cut in there saying it that
- 2:59is that is just a little snippet of the gold that I have for you
- 3:02guys for this episode. Who does he do it with? Who else?
- 3:07Is that some nobody? He's a friend of his from that he's known for
- 3:09one hundred years. That was like the director of photography or something like that
- 3:13on the episode. I don't know the real director. Yeah. Well,
- 3:15I mean he just basically spent the entire of saying, well, this is
- 3:19the reason you're really talented, Robert is because of this, and blah blah
- 3:22blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. How much would he actually love if
- 3:25he could be there himself as a director speaking with himself as a writer about
- 3:30the episode. Means, if he could bar himself from last week and just
- 3:34be talking to himself, WHI was gonna say the audio commentary, Robert Cooper
- 3:38to this guy is Michael to doctor Beckett. Basically like this guy just wanted
- 3:44to suck Roberts dick so hard. He wants a job, obviously wants some
- 3:49jobs. He doesn't get paid for the for the audio commentary, just the
- 3:53ad work. Yeah. Does he explain how the Wraith exploded and was standing
- 4:00right next to him running away from the bomb and then there's there's an external
- 4:05shot of the whole building exploding and then he just has a shod in his
- 4:10leg. No, but he does. He does talk about it. He
- 4:13does literally what happens. He does talk about how he thinks that really appreciated
- 4:17this episode because it got them, letting them do some quote unquote serious acting.
- 4:23No, he survived that with just a cut. Hasn't escaped yet.
- 4:28No, that's fire escaping out the door and every window. Explain that Cooper
- 4:32and scene an idiot twenty six minutes. Cool thing, cool thing. So
- 4:39this episode was a costume he s teat it was like a nineteen eighties action
- 4:43movie with the kinky leather play arm cuffs. That was like the shoulder pads,
- 4:47I like the weapons. Oh yeah, that was the something got later
- 4:50on, but like when when you see him in the episode, he's just
- 4:53got like the the leather from the from the wrists to halfway up his bicep,
- 4:58which is obviously hiding the the elbow pads for all the stunt work that's
- 5:01going on. But yeah, and then the obviously gets the sett and armor
- 5:04later on that he pulls off the dead body and just has just just shoulder
- 5:09to half bicep exposed. And j Kkeb's not gonna like me either. I
- 5:14was phone watching a lot during this episode because it's so poorly written. You
- 5:18can't blame me. It's funny. I'll have to reach. I really enjoy
- 5:21this episode. It's just like a fun popcorn action I actually only like the
- 5:27last twenty minutes believe it. Yeah, but yeah, oh read you.
- 5:30Some reviews reminded me b there scathing and also incredibly excellent. Actually yeah,
- 5:36it's just either it's either ten stars or one star. Great. Yeah,
- 5:41I'll give the first three quarters one star. And the well at the part
- 5:46where he goes he says to Shepherd leave when Shepherd comes to rescue them,
- 5:53and he's like what, and then there's like twenty one Wraith downstairs and he
- 5:57goes and fix them all up. Yeah, it's it's amazing. No,
- 6:00my, my, you don't see enough of it with that. I do
- 6:03love the scene, and they use it for the opening credits moving forward,
- 6:05where Ronan's walking down the hallway and there's just the explosion behind that creates this
- 6:10silhouette. But my favorite scene in this whole episode is actually earlier on when
- 6:15they're being held captive on the planet where he'd where Roan had been to before,
- 6:18and he has the knife up against the guy's throat and then like you
- 6:21think we're not going to and then he throws that guy away and holds the
- 6:25knife up to his own throat and has that a mate Like, that's some
- 6:29it's just some intense acting. Probably I've seen him, Yeah, yeah,
- 6:32I think. I think that monologue he's given there, it wasn't a great
- 6:36monologue, but his commitment to it and the intensity I believed every single word
- 6:43he was saying, and that he would actually just get the monologue jam that
- 6:46knife into his throat. It was that moment where, because that was still
- 6:49very early on, like it was the setting ten minutes, the setting up
- 6:53of any episode. Really, they find some trouble on a different planet.
- 6:56But that moment I was like, oh, hang on, is this episode
- 6:59four. That's what money means when he says every episode four is a Rona
- 7:01thing. He was introduced episode four last season. This one's a rone Oh
- 7:04well, yeah, there's gonna be a Ronan episode. I did misspeak.
- 7:08So it's last season. It was episode three, and I'm not gonna watch
- 7:11it. This season is episode four, then episodes and then seasons four and
- 7:15five. It's backed episode three. Right, Let's pause for fifteen minutes and
- 7:19let Mitch watch the end of this. It's just still good, just for
- 7:23just from the part I think where he's like, let's go kill some ree
- 7:25Yeah. Beckett's like yeah, even though last week Beker was like, oh
- 7:29no, they're human. I'll show him the grenade over the shoulder. Yeah,
- 7:33the thirsty tailor. That's like my favorite tailor scene of all time,
- 7:38which I only just discovered that today, which is after the thing. So
- 7:42maybe I was already hard from Roanan throwing the grenade over his shoulder and then
- 7:46you get titsm gie there and you're like, oh wow, still hard,
- 7:51Like didn't lose it. We watched didn't lose it. We watched a very
- 7:55different episode. All right, did you watch that? We're going to watch
- 7:58We're gonna watch this twenty two minutes. Man, this is like two minutes
- 8:01after I would have stopped her. Oh slow mo grenade over the back.
- 8:05Shit, yeah, let's do it. Wait for it ten hard. Yeah.
- 8:11They're acting like two friends that have decided to start dating and are just
- 8:16trying to find that spark, even though they absolutely know that it's not there.
- 8:18It's really that's yeah, brutal, not feeding on her extra christy,
- 8:26yeah, extra crispy. Oh that was fun. The tally where whatever whatever
- 8:35Taylor said she got, Shepherd was like, Taylor got eight, I got
- 8:37nine, Rodan got the rest. Yeah, because it was kind of like
- 8:41Lego ass and Gimli. Yeah to roll over there, it's all that counts
- 8:48as one. And then because yeah, Shepherd said I got six, how
- 8:52many did you get? And she goes, I got eight, and he's
- 8:54like, oh, Rodney, I got nine, eight, I got nine
- 9:01the rest twelve, which's unusual because I don't really remember him doing that before.
- 9:11Yeah. But then, yeah, the thing I have is with Beckett,
- 9:13it's like, well, two episodes goes like oh eighth deserve to land
- 9:16because they're a human and now he's blowing them up. Here's some here's some
- 9:20little presents for you, Brannan. The audio commentary on this was absolutely delightful.
- 9:24A little bit of trigger about this episode. I turned in the script
- 9:26and uh, I remember Brad right coming to me, and you know,
- 9:31he, even though we both co created, you know, the series and
- 9:33we're both executive producers, runs Atlantis on a day to day. I was
- 9:37running as I knew that I was going to tax his overall budget by doing
- 9:43such a big episode, and and I figured he would be like, are
- 9:46you crazy. We can't afford to do this, It'll put us in a
- 9:48huge hole at the beginning of the season. And in fact, he came
- 9:52in and he said, I love the script. I think it's a very
- 9:54important story for the team, and we should try and do all of it
- 10:00and do the best you can as a director and take your producer hat off
- 10:05and put your director hat on. That was great. It was very encouraging
- 10:09and support of Brad and I did and spent more money than we had ever
- 10:13spent on an episode. Now, some of the trivia I've read says,
- 10:22excluding the pilots, so you can potentially exclude Rising and Children of the Gods.
- 10:26But aside from those, this episode costs more money to make than any
- 10:31other Heroes, more than Here Is Lost City costs work any of those episodes
- 10:39does full circle full circle where they can blow up the freaking Aberdose pyramid.
- 10:45This episode costs more money than any other episode of stargeting. There's lots and
- 10:48lots of holes in it, especially in that first to thirty minutes, but
- 10:52that last ten really made up for it with all that, and it wasn't
- 10:56like, because you can have action movies cool, but you have to have
- 11:01it. I kind of liked that he was killing them off camera and down
- 11:07the biggest plot hole. I really enjoy this episode. It's just like it's
- 11:09a fun popcorn action movie and just Ronan being bad us. It's you know,
- 11:13it's Carl Drogo before he was Carl Drogo. The one the one plot
- 11:16hole for me is that Rodney taps into the Runner tracker and they detect seven
- 11:26signals. Yeah right, they never do anything with that. Hey, if
- 11:33this runners pretty cool, maybe we should get some more or just be good
- 11:37human beings and save these people who are being hunted by the Rake or that
- 11:41was play over their one line where McKay goes, well, we don't even
- 11:45know, we don't know what these tracking signals are. You tapped into the
- 11:48runner signal you found Ronan on Seteita, what is it going to be?
- 11:54Three runners? And then his favorite pets? Like what else? What else
- 11:58do you think he's putting tracking sign in youth bibles? Yeah? And at
- 12:01no point do they think, oh, I wis should we say these people
- 12:05will be maybe we could have a whole team of runners that could just wreck
- 12:09shop. Yeah, that's so true. And and it's not like they would
- 12:13tag anything that's not of interest to them, right, So it's kind of
- 12:16like, even if it's not a runner, something of some of interest,
- 12:20it's kind of like Colonel O'Neill adding those ancient gates, it's going to be
- 12:24something different correct or something of interest. Yeah, and they don't do anything
- 12:28about it. That's crazy. Yeah, yeah, massive loopool even if something
- 12:33they investigated down the track. But as as as we've all said, obviously
- 12:39Cooper answers to nobody, No, you're right, always said that stylistically,
- 12:45I mean everybody sort of I think felt I got to do things that other
- 12:50people maybe didn't feel the freedom or liberty to do. Because I'm also the
- 12:54executive producer, I really only have myself to answer to, and as making
- 13:00mistakes or not or going outside the normal box of how we shoot an episode,
- 13:03I know the crew was kind of like, hey, wait at we
- 13:07don't usually do this? Are we allowed to do this? Is this?
- 13:09Is this a stark in Atlantis? Is this right? It felt like,
- 13:13you know, Robert, it felt like a feature film. People would tell
- 13:20Satita's stories of that there were veterans of a battle and I mean physically it
- 13:26was the hardest thing I've ever done. They then compared it to what's that?
- 13:30What's that war movie with the dude from Superman Deliverance? What is which
- 13:37Superman? Superman's dad? What's his name? They then compared Robot coppied best,
- 13:48like seriously and then I got one more for you here, hang on
- 13:52before we play that. Yeah, we just like seriously, say what the
- 13:58was he saying that? Like? Can we talk about that for a second
- 14:00because I have a real issue. It's almost like a comedy skit. It's
- 14:05like that plan That's a Saturday Night Live skit. Yeah, there's a podcast
- 14:11with two comedians called Pussies, and they're like woke men. Oh yeah,
- 14:15well this podcast for women about women by men. To me, this is
- 14:22between two ferns. But they're taking himself serious. Yeah exactly, I just
- 14:28want I was already laughing at something he'd already said, yes, and I
- 14:31just love that. Yeah. Well, you know, we don't usually do
- 14:35this? Are we allowed to do this? Is this? Is this a
- 14:37star Atlantis? Is this? Is this even a shell? Robert? This
- 14:43is like, this is so amazing. I don't even think I'm incredible because
- 14:46because you see, Robert is normally the show runner of SG one and Brad's
- 14:50the show runner for for Atlantis, so they don't normally do this kind of
- 14:54stuff. Right now, Robert's going to come over and spend all the budget
- 15:00and make it a good show. Oh quit, dude, we have like
- 15:05five more grabs. You know. I actually ended up. I don't know
- 15:07if I ever told you this. A couple of weeks after we finished shooting,
- 15:11I had lost my hearing in one ear. For still managed to do
- 15:15the number of explosions and the number of explosions that we had. It was
- 15:20it was actually quite frightening. I was phone, wasn't I was frightened,
- 15:28but I didn't let anyone see it. Yeah, they're like, Robert,
- 15:31aren't you scared? I was, but I said no, everybody else all
- 15:35of it. Are you scared? The the armory and all the safety people
- 15:39said you need to put on headphones or ear plugs with all these explosions,
- 15:43he said, and I said, no, I'm the director. I don't
- 15:46do that. But we don't do that. In s G one, director
- 15:48Robert Wood executive producer wouldn't direct director and execut produced Robert Cooper wouldn't, but
- 15:56noble leader Robert C. Cooper would press play, press play. The other
- 16:00thing is it's like the cast and crew going, you said that we can't
- 16:06do this until you come on set, and then of course you can.
- 16:08Yeah. The guy who you were allowed, the guy who directed Camelot,
- 16:12Oh, sorry, Crusade, And then he comes in there went, we
- 16:17can't do this. It's like, we don't usually do this. And then
- 16:19he comes to get the crew, like we don't usually do this. Yeah,
- 16:23Like this is you're amazing, so talented that you have your talent.
- 16:30Don't you see that I'm wearing two hats to cover my bald spot and hide
- 16:33my hoble phones. Right, it was. It was actually quite frightening.
- 16:37I was. I was on the phone and couldn't figure out where my phone
- 16:40wasn't working, and then switched ears and said, well, wait a minute,
- 16:42this is not my phone, it's my air. All the explosions are
- 16:45going off and you're standing there, everyone's ducking and with headphones on. Robert
- 16:49with no headphones on. Well, you know, I felt a certain hero.
- 16:55I think people felt like I was trying to be the noble leader.
- 17:06It's like Zach Allifanakis, except not except he serious. He's serious, he
- 17:12with all, with all heart and genuineness, just called himself, didn't say
- 17:19that he was to say. He didn't say he was the noble and he
- 17:22said he he felt like the crew felt that he was being the noble leader
- 17:26by not wearing headphones during explosion. Wait, look at this dunk were in
- 17:33head Did you tell him to hear? But yeah, he goes not don't
- 17:37need it? Okay, his mate there, who's in a blow up.
- 17:41He's an ego. Yeah. All the rest of the crew were like running
- 17:45and ducking and diving and hiding, and Robert standing there without the headphones like
- 17:51Robert with honey. Ronan was the personification of that silhouette moment. That's what
- 17:57Robert was doing. But standing still, that's really hot would at one point,
- 18:04I don't think I felt feel hot. I don't think I put it
- 18:07in there. But at one point he goes like you could tell I was
- 18:08like the kid that never got played with at school. So I had I
- 18:12had all the toys in the sandpit. We're still starting, We're only halfway
- 18:15through this GRAB. I was still getting through this grab right, well,
- 18:18grab just lose now we resume back to the Noble Leader Grab five Part three.
- 18:26In those situations, but I was just so caught up with it.
- 18:30I was having so much fun. I mean, I think I think people
- 18:33recognized that I was a kid in a candy store, that I was running
- 18:34around probably having the most fun I've ever had in my entire life. And
- 18:37I feel as though that that spirit was infectious. I mean, whether the
- 18:41crew is normally like that or not, or whether they just respond to being
- 18:45put in difficult situations and enjoy the challenge. I mean, I think to
- 18:48a certain extent, maybe what a day to day basis the crew can get
- 18:52bored being down over and over again, and this was something different. I
- 18:56mean, it was big and it was a challenge, but it was also
- 18:59something a little different. Oh my god, it's amazing how he thinks people
- 19:03think of him now constantly. Let me blow your mind. Let me blow
- 19:08your mind. Everything that you've just heard in all of those grabs, that's
- 19:15all contained within the first eight minutes of the commentary. I've still got three
- 19:22more grabs gone. It's not even possible, Like I seen to be serious.
- 19:26He is can't be serious. He is a four foot man, eight
- 19:30foot full of shit. Like, what the hell? It's just at the
- 19:36end there, he's like basically said, look, people get bored on this
- 19:38show, and occasionally I have to selflessly come in and just save the day
- 19:42and just write an exciting episode. And like people aren't They're like, I
- 19:47don't care whether you're Delaase or would. People aren't capable of directing what the
- 19:51ship that I am writing, So I have to come in and direct my
- 19:55vision. He spent the first minute saying, I'm the co creator and writer
- 19:57of this show. Yeah, then he sang enough about me. The crew
- 20:02were getting bored until he comes in and writes a different episod. Bro,
- 20:07They've been making everything you've been you've been asking them for for the last ten
- 20:11years. Water clown and absolute clown. Listen to this cinema very T if
- 20:22I can for a moment back to my film school days. I'm not I
- 20:26don't want to sound too pretentious. Sorry, so you don't want to say
- 20:36two pretentious, but you start that with cinema very t. That might be
- 20:42another grab water. My neck hurts. Oh. It was just honestly intense
- 20:51and cringe. It was one of the hardest commentaries to joke. That sounds
- 20:56like the most fun one you could have possibly know. It's great because he
- 21:00yeah, I've cut out and and the other dick just giving him a full
- 21:08becket. Well, mister mccuaif just jacket off, let's just knock him out.
- 21:14Let's just let's just don't believe it. There's a couple of long ones.
- 21:18He will see how we go. Yes, we had a little bit
- 21:19of an incident on set where me, being somewhat non traditional in my thinking,
- 21:25decided he's a maverick. He is asick, he's a man of he's
- 21:30a man he's been to film school and directed one episode of Stargate SG one,
- 21:36we say in film school, yeah, particular scene and rather than traditional
- 21:48coverage, essentially sorry, twelve seconds and he's a traditional twice four masters and
- 21:53hope that that all cut together. Typically I I essentially I crossed the line
- 22:00in terms of traditionals. We don't replay it. He's actually exciting, hey,
- 22:07filmmaking. And and Brenton literally and figuratively, yeah, And and Brenton
- 22:11said, you can't do that. You have to cover it from over here.
- 22:12And Nathaniel sort of quietly standing off to the side, you know,
- 22:17muttered, well, you know, Stanley Kubrick did it in full metal jacket.
- 22:21And Breton went storming off to the monitors. Well, you know you're
- 22:23not Stanley Kubrick, and this is your full metal jacket. And you know,
- 22:30it was funny because I think when I finally moved around to the other
- 22:33side and shot the coverage through the door, the Woody Allen coverage, as
- 22:37I called it him some wood Woody Allen and Danley was just walking in and
- 22:42out and no pants. You were you were like, oh, I get
- 22:45it. I think this will work. Now. It makes sense makes sense,
- 22:48Robert, It makes sense. Wow, full metal jacket. He reckons,
- 22:53this is full metal jacket. There was metal and a jacket. Yeah,
- 23:00a metal jack meets a Woody Allen film all the time. Oh,
- 23:07then let's just jump over to Hey, I need a break. Just let's
- 23:11just jump over to im IMDb dot com. Oh shit. Four out of
- 23:18ten weakest episodes so far in the series. This episode is boring and his
- 23:22only purpose seems to glorify the silly character ronandex come down. Lots of shooting
- 23:27and silly lines, mostly for ronandecks. Next one. Five out of ten
- 23:32for the meatheads. When when comparing this episode to the next episode, Progeny,
- 23:38it fails miserably. In fact, they don't even look like the same
- 23:41show because obviously Roberts and Maverick. Yeah, I mean you wouldn't know.
- 23:45But the crew were like, how does he do it? Yeah? The
- 23:48crew were like, dude, can you do this? Can you do this?
- 23:52Every week? Daddy? That was just so happy for him to be
- 23:56there this episode. He means when he says the word cinema, So this
- 24:00is cinema. Very take obviously, this is what it means to be with
- 24:03the genius. This is what I'm feeling. This episode focuses on Ronan.
- 24:07Unfortunately, since the character Ronan is a caveman meathead, it can't do anything
- 24:11but be mindless action. Some like that to each his own. Me not
- 24:15so much. There is a reason. There is a reason Rodney called Ronan
- 24:19a caveman, and in this ridiculous, mind numbing episode it is in full
- 24:23display. I have no problem understanding it needed. It is needed for the
- 24:27Ronan worshipers. I may not be one of them, but I know they're
- 24:30out there, although some say differently. Sadly, we didn't learn anything new.
- 24:34Ronan had a wife, so what does that change? Nothing due just
- 24:38an excuse to have an action episode, and a poor one at that.
- 24:44I'm so glad Ronan's wife is dead. She was a dumb bitch. She
- 24:48could have got off the planet. And she's like, no, I need
- 24:52to go to the hospital, and he's like, dude, there is like
- 24:55at the hospital, there will be no hospital. Yeah, you don't even
- 24:57understand what this. I've actually learned history. I don't know if I let
- 25:02women do school in Setita only well. I think she was a doctor or
- 25:07a nurse or something. She was some kind of you know, medical you
- 25:11know what I mean though, like how she gets a pass, you can
- 25:14live and I'll live also because I know where to hide. Yeah, he's
- 25:18also like, I got you on an escape ship and it's like, well,
- 25:21the escape ship's going to need skilled people keep this. But she's alive.
- 25:26He's like, he's you can take care of you. You're a doctor.
- 25:29You could be totally on that. Yeah. I do like the idea
- 25:32that he's like if I get you, if if I escape with you and
- 25:34I get you off this planet, I will know that I've succeeded because because
- 25:38I got whereas She's like, if we get away from here, I will
- 25:44only think of the people that I left to die. So I actually I
- 25:47do like that different but I don't get it. But that's like when like
- 25:52when he comes in the second time, see I told you, so let's
- 25:55go, and she's like, what about this girl? What about every well
- 25:57adopt her, let's go. Yeah, like what about that like throws on
- 26:00his Shoulder's like, let's let's go all these other people. I can't carry
- 26:04everybody. I'm very strong, but not that strong. What did he do
- 26:07with that little girl? Once his girlfriend got he just like down from one
- 26:14I'll be back in guaranteed her all. I've just tossed her like I just
- 26:19didn't even think about it. It wasn't even like this bitch. It was
- 26:23just like, why am I carrying this thing? Yeah, and just literal,
- 26:27literal dead weight. Yeah, maybe that little girl saved his life.
- 26:34Shield got all the debris shrapnel. Yeah, that's why he only got trapped
- 26:41on the leg because he went, Yeah, he didn't have anyone to use
- 26:44as the human shield. But yeah, he gets shrapnel in his leg.
- 26:48He's pulling it out and then against the I think that that Wraith, it
- 26:53seemed to me like he was trying to make him a king Wraith or something
- 26:56weird, because he was in charge of an entire height in the order coming
- 27:00to he references. Maybe it was something in Rising or maybe in the the
- 27:03end of last season where they say not all hives have queens like they're and
- 27:10yeah, so the subtext was, oh, this is a hive without a
- 27:15without a queen, and he's the head hon show. Interestingly, that actor,
- 27:19maybe he's like a runner guy. Yeah, he as enjoys the hunting.
- 27:23He enjoys hunting the Runners and stuff like that. That actor that played
- 27:27the big you know, Uber Wraith is actually the guy who played the Cold
- 27:32Warrior. He's the guy in all the Black Dan Payne who does a lot
- 27:37of that. He was also the the Ashrak in season six with the invisible
- 27:41Ashrak on the other side or wherever it was. Yeah, whenever they need
- 27:45a big guy like that, yeah, they get in Dan Payne. He
- 27:48did a lot of stunts and all that kind of stuff on the show as
- 27:49well. I actually feel like it's kind of out there reference, but he
- 27:53looks like a jew Lock from the Ewoks saw those cartoons or them movie,
- 28:00kind of like weird looking jew Lock. Yeah. They were the bad guys
- 28:06in the Okay. I as a kid, I always thought that e works
- 28:11were just baby wookies. Well yeah, totally little pig nose. They're actually
- 28:18Via Kong Jesus Christ. No, no, well that's that's true. Yeah
- 28:25in America is the Empire. Yeah that was I mean the whole rebels and
- 28:29yeah, rebels as well, the rebels and the Empire. Yeah, like
- 28:33that was his thing for that war. And he managed to hire some midgets.
- 28:37That's great. Yeah, Yeah, of course he's forward thinking, is
- 28:41you know, thinking about I mean they're so woke in Disney. They can't
- 28:45even do seven and Snow White and seven D Walls without They couldn't even hire
- 28:48little people. Oh look, if only they if only they had Robert C.
- 28:52Cooper, just so they could do some really serious acting. Oh no,
- 28:56oh no. So Tita is a bit of a sequel to an episode
- 29:02I wrote last year called Runner that introduced Jason Momoas you know, I really
- 29:08wanted to expand on that character, tell us a little bit about his backstory
- 29:15and the world he came from, and give Jason a chance to do a
- 29:18little more serious acting. It's not going to be anything for hospitals, Wayna,
- 29:26just giving Jason Momos, I mean you can't. Some of the lines
- 29:30was corny as like even that said in those reviews those guys don't like action,
- 29:36which is fine. I love Ronan and I love was one of the
- 29:38best characters in Stargate history, and and he just killed it. I don't
- 29:45think it was the writing. I think it was just it's Jason. Yeah.
- 29:48You could give a lot of those lines to another actor and they would
- 29:52have fallen even more flat than Like I said that before. If you kill
- 29:56him before I do, I'll kill you. Oh yeah, okay, but
- 30:00what if he kills you that was my Joe Flanagan, then you kill him.
- 30:04I mean, that's just some fantastic writing right there. That's that's brave
- 30:07heart. If it sounded like an al Capone, if we're saying it sounds
- 30:15like it starts to look like an eighties action film, that line sounds like
- 30:18it's out of an Expendables film. Yeah, yeah, definitely wasn't film Metal
- 30:23Jacket like yea out. There were a couple of things I did like though.
- 30:32I mean, I like the episode in general. Robert Sea Cooper Controversy
- 30:34noted Robert Sia Cooper. I loved the Wall of Mist the video was playing
- 30:42screen, Yeah, because it's like I went, I went to Disneyland last
- 30:45year. They kind of do that. Now. There's a whole show called
- 30:48World of Color, and it's like you go to California Adventure and there's just
- 30:52all these massive fountains like shooting up, you know, water, like three
- 30:56stories high and then projecting like Disney movies on it, and they're doing it
- 31:00to music and sound and it's all this like moving water and all that kind
- 31:03of stuff, and it's really fucking cool. So Yeah, I really liked
- 31:06that. And then the little mitchwe get this reference. But the little balls
- 31:10that were flying around sort of filming everything I saw, some of that kind
- 31:12of remind well, know that they kind of remind me of like a Keno
- 31:17from a universe. Yes, so I wonder if this was kind of the
- 31:21the idea of that or in universe. In the universe, you can be
- 31:23like, oh, well, if Keno's are an ancient thing, and then
- 31:26the Wraith know about the ancients, maybe they you know, they've used Keno
- 31:30technology to make those little ball things. The one thing that I will never
- 31:34ever ever accept is that moment where the long haired Wraith beams down and he's
- 31:41wearing those fucking goggles for no reason, because the scene after that is they
- 31:51do the predator ripoff where it is the whole and that's a cool fight with
- 31:55Ronan a predator vision. But when the Raith gets to the doorway of the
- 31:59dark room, he takes the fucking goggles off, so he literally didn't use
- 32:04them. He beamed down with the goggles, walks to a room, took
- 32:07the goggles off, looked at the clear knockoff of an ancient life science detector.
- 32:13Attached to his arm then walked in and then you saw his eyes glow
- 32:17and that's when he had the predator vision fight with Ronan. Oh really yeah,
- 32:22so the goggle I had to go back and watch it again, Yes,
- 32:24because I was the point of the goggles and okay, I thought it
- 32:29was for the for the for the predati vision fight, but no, he
- 32:34went when he gets to the doorway of the room, he takes the goggles
- 32:36off and they do it close up with his eyes and like the color of
- 32:39his eyes glows, and that's the Wraith naturally seeing, you know, the
- 32:45spectrum or whatever. And then Shepherd walks into that Ratus bug cave. Yeah.
- 32:50Yeah, weird vision. Yeah, like the heat vision, you know
- 32:53whatever, and then they have and then that fight looked cool the way it
- 32:57was filming and stuff was all choppy and predatvision and stuff like that. From
- 33:00like those stupid swimming goggles with girls the point that guy had to wear them
- 33:04for like two days. Yeah, and they had to make them. Someone
- 33:07had to go and buy swimming goggles then attach Wraith go to them and tailor
- 33:14them to that and Raith's skull no reason, like those one of the swimm
- 33:20goggles because they connect up at the back. They strapped. They didn't just
- 33:22go over his ears, they strapped all the way around the back of his
- 33:24head. Yeah, I know, but I'm just saying it's like they ripped
- 33:28off those old two thousands speed YEA glasses and put some elastic round. Yeah.
- 33:37And also like this is the most we've seen, Like I guess it
- 33:39has to be of the Wraith hunt when they go after a runner, right,
- 33:44Like I was, I don't know, I was a bit disappointed.
- 33:46The fact that they just go down he straps on his I mean, goggles
- 33:50is one thing. But the fact that he's just like a oh, he's
- 33:52there, like on his watch and like that's not a hunt. Yeah,
- 33:54you're just gonna find him. That's that's That's fine, my arfine bro.
- 33:58Like that's I'm not a tech genius. I'm not a CIA surveillance operator because
- 34:02I've got fire my iPhone. Oh it's in that building a couple of streets
- 34:06away where I was for lunch today. Like I expect him to go down
- 34:08the wraith. They're a bit analystic, like tracking smells something like that,
- 34:14like go to familiar locations or something like that. Like I was actually kind
- 34:17of pissed off when he walked to the room and he's like, oh,
- 34:20he's right behind this door, Like that's yeah, you don't hunt use the
- 34:23blood like track Ronan's blood if you're a predator and he's your prey. Yeah,
- 34:28he was bleeding. That's why I'm like, you might't want to wrap
- 34:30that up because he's going to track you. Yeah, you want to see
- 34:32a race, no need touch their finger that and lick it and get Yeah,
- 34:37it's fresh, he was here, I can taste the fear. But
- 34:42then also the tracker on his forum, it was literally it was literally the
- 34:45ancient life Stigns detector like it was the gaffer table on it. It was
- 34:50the exact same size. It was that same blue light with the square grid
- 34:52on it and the little dot going. And it was like, bro,
- 34:55we know Wraith can't use those. So it's clearly just like yeah, it's
- 35:00instead of making the goggle prop, maybe make a different life signs detective prop.
- 35:04I mean obviously it's tracking the tracker, not the life signs, but
- 35:07it's like, make a different prop for the Raith and don't waste time and
- 35:09money on the goggles. That's why this episode costs so much money, or
- 35:14even you know how they have those kind of wraith USBs. Just strap you
- 35:19know those purples. Yeah, just strap one of those to his risk and
- 35:22kind of get it to get it to light up when he's close, you
- 35:25know, or a little like three D display that pops up or something like
- 35:29that. But even if you didn't want it, as like Mitch is saying,
- 35:31more Hunter things, Yeah, me, now I need to use my
- 35:36senses. Yeah, I mean there's yeah, there's a lot of plot holes,
- 35:40but it kind of the action redeems just pure. It's yeah, it's
- 35:45Jason Mama. It's one of the reasons like I fell in love with Ronan
- 35:50Dex as a character because, to be fair, like in the last if
- 35:53you think about it, he's been on the show a year now, Yeah,
- 35:57and he hasn't really had a lot to do. I didn't actually know
- 36:00he was that good of an actor. Yeah. Yeah, that that scene
- 36:02in the cage with the with the knife to his throat, I bought every
- 36:07second. I actually thought it was going to be like Core and four point
- 36:09zero. Yeah, yeah, the rth Bringer. Yeah, it's like Jesus,
- 36:15there you go again. Yeah, and yeah I did like moments where
- 36:20it's like where even the dude had a cane and a limp, Yeah,
- 36:25like yeah, but yeah I did, like you know towards the end where
- 36:31it's like where is like, no, you can't save me. I made
- 36:35a deal with those people and Taylor's like the Wraith didn't hold up their side
- 36:37of the plan. They killed that. It was actually hoping she was bluffing
- 36:43leave because didn't they go back and everyone was dead? Didn't they go back
- 36:46to track him and they you want to have been doing something? Sorry?
- 36:52Sorry three star taking. This is a grub Ze Cooper episode. Yeah,
- 36:54dull until there was one. I hate to bring this up because it's you
- 37:00know, one of the weird scenes. But there's the moment between cold Will
- 37:04and Weir where cold Will got really mean to Weir and I don't know why
- 37:08about he didn't want to go about leaving someone behind. Look, you know,
- 37:19I want to help, but I will not put my crew and the
- 37:22only ship that we have in this galaxy at risk for one man, one
- 37:24man who isn't a member of the US military. Say that he's a member
- 37:28of my team and he deserves the same respect as anyone on his expedition.
- 37:34We don't leave up people out there, Colonel not if there's any chance,
- 37:37don't preach to me about leaving people behind. Doctor Weir youldn't know Shiites what
- 37:42does that mean? Though she doesn't know ship But I'm just see there was
- 37:45that long pause where there was like it was a moment between cold Will and
- 37:49Weir where he's like, don't you preach to me about leaving people behind?
- 37:52And I'm like, was that a throwback to like some not or something like
- 37:57that? But that was the difference. That was John on, Like,
- 38:00that was John that did that. We wasn't there. Remember there was that
- 38:04colonel that came back and goes, you, sir, aren't going to be
- 38:07the game. His name was Colonel Flattop from the siege. Yeah, he
- 38:14was pissed off and then he turned around but nice by the end. After
- 38:17he got sucked off by a race. That's how I'm coining that from now
- 38:21on. Yeah, getting sucked off by I thought, But yeah, I
- 38:25guess it's kind of like I'm a military man. I've I've lived this life
- 38:30forever. You've just come in two years ago that you it was, don't
- 38:37you talk to me about okay, Yeah, to me, it was more
- 38:40and fastist on the wrong side. Yeah, no, just because there was
- 38:44where they just they paused and there was a good three or four seconds there
- 38:46where it was just coldwell and we are It was like I've seen each other
- 38:50back and forth, and I'm like, what is he referencing? Like,
- 38:52yeah, just John, give it to you. Then she could get a
- 39:00little breathy. Sometimes she can get a little breath in. Speaking of John,
- 39:09I think this might be the first appearance of his leather jacket. Did
- 39:13anyone else notice? Very cool? Yeah, because it was cold on that
- 39:16planet, right cold on the ship when Taylor came up, because he was
- 39:20around a jacket. Then when he was drinking out of his little Yeah he's
- 39:24in his little sippy cup. Yeah, she didn't care, she was She
- 39:27didn't. Obviously she doesn't feel the cold. She probably does, but it's
- 39:30like I need to I need to get something through it. I don't think
- 39:32I need all of his attack. I couldn't see nipples in your mind.
- 39:37You could, yeah, yeah, spoiler for Mitch. But it's like,
- 39:42you know, I think Rodney doesn't get like his version of that leather jacket
- 39:45to like season four or five or something like that. You know, oh
- 39:47yeah, just I think for the rest of this season, like everyone else
- 39:52is wearing just their normal Atlantis sort of mission jackets, and John's rocking around,
- 39:55they get a jacket cooler. Reminds me of Patrick Stewart when he suddenly
- 40:00so he's suddenly got a different uniform from everyone else on the entire ship on
- 40:02the Enterprise for no reason. I mean, how many are we getting away
- 40:07with? Last couple of weeks have been I don't prefer the buttons a week
- 40:10on this smitch, Yeah, we're going to get people riding in look last
- 40:15week that that's too. It was kind of counteracted because it became a topic
- 40:20and that I was just playing tennis with you know, watching and I'm like,
- 40:23you know, what is it? Equally, I didn't bring it up,
- 40:25that's true, So there was no that's three saying it stuffered too much
- 40:30trouble. Well, yeah like that like that one person said, any opportunity
- 40:35I don't take to get my microphone turned off is wasted. So yeah,
- 40:38but yeah, we touched on it before I did. Also, like the
- 40:42I mean, you guys were obviously ogling over Taylor's boobs during that scene.
- 40:45But I did like the stuff where she was finishing his sentences in a funny
- 40:49way, like, oh, you don't have social skills friends, Yeah,
- 40:52that kind of stuff. But then it was kind of nice for John had
- 40:53that memories like you guys are my family. Yeah. Nothing, I wouldn't
- 40:58do full diesel. Yeah, verbally because yeah, because obviously, you know,
- 41:05I've always said Atlantis is kind of the fast it's SG one on fast
- 41:07forward, and it's like we're in season three now, which is kind of
- 41:12the equivalent of season six of SG one, So it's yeah, it's it's
- 41:16good for them to vocalize the fact that we're firmly you know, and they
- 41:21actually do sort of love and care about each other friends. Yeah, he's
- 41:24not a loser rough childhood. Yeah, I just I just deliberately avoid people
- 41:30by flying helicopters in the most remote parts of our world. Yeah, I
- 41:35mean it was annoying that we're not annoying, but I was like, it
- 41:37was unfortunate that he only had that conversation with Taylor, and you know,
- 41:40he didn't have that like Ronan McKay weren't part of that conversation. Yeah,
- 41:45yeah, back it, but another time, Yeah, maybe maybe it would
- 41:49have been nice, you know, in that end scene for it almost to
- 41:52sort of come back there or something like that, when Ronan's hugging and stuff
- 41:54like that seem to be moments like and you know, Ronan say thank you,
- 41:59He's like, well that's what I do for family, yeah, or
- 42:01something like that. Maybe that would have been too maybe, you know,
- 42:05because of Robert see Cooper, two men can't actually talk about their emotions and
- 42:07show affection to each other, barely stand next to each other. That's what
- 42:12That's why Taylor had to have the cans out more than usual for that episode,
- 42:15because John was being vulnerable and the only way he can do that is
- 42:19with a woman not working. Cast was like, how come it's so cold
- 42:22in here? John gets a jacket. I'm like, I'm a renegade.
- 42:25What are you saying? Yeah, tits out? I mean people say I'm
- 42:30like coolbrick and and I don't. People say I don't say this. I'm
- 42:36repeating what I've heard people tell stories about the week we spend filming this episode.
- 42:40People tell stories like they were on Apocalypse Now. But you know,
- 42:45I don't do that. I I lost my hearing because I'm too stupid to
- 42:50wear ear plugs to imagine, I thought my phone was broken, honey,
- 42:55I can't hear your honey. They didn't know. I'm an idiot. They
- 42:59didn't have and it was weeks later, so he probably just didn't clean his
- 43:01ears, probably had nothing to do. Yeah, he would be. He's
- 43:06to look his breastings. They didn't have headphones, they only had ear plugs,
- 43:09and ear plugs going to your ears seemed gay because it was something going
- 43:14into a hole in my body, and that just seemed gay. Chean,
- 43:20chean. I thought that was you. I can't Yeah, I can't.
- 43:23I can't not hear that anymore. She is breathy. I'll give I'll give
- 43:27you that. She is breathy. Hey, I just wanted to talk some
- 43:31start, you know how, I'm fascinated with the fact that everybody has their
- 43:36stargate, just the traditional way in the ground, face up. The only
- 43:40time it's different is like a space gate. Well, the only one we've
- 43:44seen is two thousand and one where they're using it to kind of drive the
- 43:49harvester. Yeah. I just think they should do more of that. Like
- 43:52even if planets like Setita, who clearly have some technology, should be able
- 43:57to and if they're not smart enough for or good enough to make an iris,
- 44:01at least hang the stargate up like a meter from the ground, so
- 44:07if a dart comes through, just crashes into the dirt. Now we're going
- 44:10to make a rifle with three barrels. Yeah, and we destroyed three ship,
- 44:15two ships, but they were just small ships with the darts. I'm
- 44:20like, yeah, so there's an easy way to avoid that. Yeah,
- 44:22it helps because we have it next to like a huge wallah. Yeah,
- 44:27I mean there was that line where he's like he's easily come back and forth.
- 44:30Yeah, I mean there was that line where it's like, oh,
- 44:31you know, some planets have been obliterated from space by their city side ships
- 44:35blah blah blah. But it's like the whole point of Wraith is they cut
- 44:38the food. So it's like they're not going to obliterate you from space if
- 44:43they want food. And it's like if the darts can't get you from the
- 44:47stargate, they have to they're gonna have to try a different way. They're
- 44:52gonna send them, maybe send hives down, Maybe send darts down from the
- 44:54hives. And it's like that buys you an opportunity to maybe that. I
- 44:58mean, I know they say, you know, they leave the gate running
- 45:00so that you can't dial out an escape, but it's like it was a
- 45:04pretty built up society. Like compare them to the Ethosians with huts and making
- 45:10soup. These guys have you know, entire metro things, you know,
- 45:15their tanks and all that and body armor and that kind of stuff. Then
- 45:19they're probably more advanced than the Jeni. Yeah you would think, well,
- 45:22yeah, I mean look at that, you know, I did like the
- 45:24moment where it's like they kind of tied up a few knots in that.
- 45:30There was the flashback where Ronan was fighting with the guys like I'm out of
- 45:32Amma, when he's like two blocks down there's a storage facility blah blah blah
- 45:37blah, And he cut to Ronan going to that storage facility to you know
- 45:39and opening up all the things. You're getting weapons. So I think that
- 45:43times were we're going where do you know rule the weapons were? You work
- 45:45for military house. But it's like, yeah, if they could have all
- 45:47those kinds of weapons, well, they do pretty kind of voiceover of the
- 45:53Prime Minister or the President or whatever they called him. It said, it's
- 45:57been two hundred years since the last culling, so oh, I miss that.
- 46:00It gave them good opportunity to kind of build up there. Yeah,
- 46:05I just feel like, you know, probably what industrial level I guess you
- 46:08would go. Yeah. Yeah. So it's like, I feel like there
- 46:15should be some way that you have the stargate facing a wall and then if
- 46:22you want to use it, you can still go, but at least the
- 46:24gap between the wall and the stargate should be like a dart length because those
- 46:30things can fly through as long as it's a coouced length away, and then
- 46:34that ship's just going to plummet right into that. And a lot of the
- 46:37times they cult through stargates, it's not like they they bring a hive to
- 46:43every time they cull, correct, They just gate in and cull like a
- 46:45light culling. Yeah, well that's it. I mean, you can you
- 46:47can gate somewhere in a minute, but it might take days or months to
- 46:52get a hive to get to that planet. So it's like, if you,
- 46:57yeah, if you're at that level of development, have yeah set up
- 47:00like that to notice like, okay, these darts have come through, They're
- 47:05not we know then that there's a hive that's going to be on the way,
- 47:08and it gives them advance warning. It then gives them a month or
- 47:12whatever to start evacuating people through the Star game. Yeah, exactly, you
- 47:15know, or going into like the Jani managed to hide underground from the race,
- 47:22you know. Yeah, I know you're right, or even just lay
- 47:24it flat. I mean, I get it. Some of them use it
- 47:27for trading and they probably don't want to kill like other travelers who come to
- 47:34trade with them. And half, yes, well your idea to be stuff,
- 47:36you know, five ten meters away from a brick wall. Yeah,
- 47:38like a dart's going to come through and just just canooe. Yeah, absolutely,
- 47:44No, that's a fantastic Never I've never actually thought of that. That's
- 47:45a fantastic idea. I mean I've thought of hundreds of different things you could
- 47:50do with that gate that they never do. Yeah, it's just always in
- 47:52the pedestal or in the ground. The only time we see it is in
- 47:55that episode two thousand and moment the Harvester. That was actually maybe not the
- 48:00only time, but definitely that I can well where it was intentional, Like
- 48:02I think the first time was like back in Robert Cooper's first episode First Commandment.
- 48:07Yeah, it lay down. But the other one with the dug that
- 48:09was tribal, that was you know, that wasn't intentional, that was just
- 48:14it had fallen over and that was the other one was where they I think
- 48:21the gate was on was facing down and then hundred days where it got hit
- 48:24by the comments. Yeah, that was one of them men. The other
- 48:27one was the they that was built into the wall. Remember that was built
- 48:35There was another one where it was laying down and then like that it made
- 48:37the last dug out for them. That's what I remember. Yeah, that
- 48:39was that was when I got hit by the media when Jack was stuck on
- 48:44that planet. And then they sent Tilk through with different one. That one's
- 48:47facing up. No, that one was facing down because remember till the Kowoush
- 48:52created the dugout for it and then he had to shoot the cable through and
- 49:00was hanging by the cable. Uh. The other one was when was it
- 49:06the Carter episode where she remember she was on the planet being hunted by the
- 49:08Carl by the Carl Warrior. Could have been was it that one? Yeah?
- 49:13Yeah, because yeah, because they that created a little dugout for them
- 49:16and then Tilk and Jack Yeah inside that yeah, because they have a little
- 49:20ladder. Yeah yeah, yeah, because that was after the self destruct,
- 49:23not like intentional a lot of the time. No, that was all situational.
- 49:28Yeah, And we were the only ones with an IRIS I think,
- 49:31was it so car might have had one once, that one with that beam
- 49:36shooting at it something like that, and then yeah, the only other ones
- 49:39we've had of I think the Atlantis Tolan had a shield. Did the Tolan
- 49:44have a shield or a or a IRIS or something? Because I remember they
- 49:47built their own stargate when they when they got to like Utulana or whatever it
- 49:51was. I don't think they did. Yeah, well I guess it was
- 49:52off the grid so that yeah, yeah, but yeah, I just feel
- 49:58like they could use it. Yeah. You think if your entire society was
- 50:01built around the fact that you get cold over a few hundred years, Yeah,
- 50:06yeah, you think to shoot down to dot it's like, bro,
- 50:09yeah, do something better straight up against the cliff like it should be in
- 50:15a bunker. Well, obviously, you know, the Citetons aren't as smart
- 50:20as me. So I mean not to sound pretentious, but you know,
- 50:25I'm obviously very smart. Well, I don't think I'm smart. People around
- 50:30me seem to think that. Every I mean I look around, it's like
- 50:32Trump. Actually, I just I unintentionally people are like, oh my god,
- 50:38it's a genius. Oh my God is a genius. They give me
- 50:42a budget. I hear restrictions. I don't deal with restrictions. I want
- 50:45to think I have the box. I don't even think about a box.
- 50:49I think it would be more of a circle, no hard edges. I
- 50:51only think about boxes because they're thinking about two men being together as gross.
- 50:54That's disgusting. So it's only about boxes for me. That is some of
- 50:59the I mean, that's your best work. That's some of his best works.
- 51:02Wow, that would have been very painful to edit that. I appreciate,
- 51:06appreciate God yea as that was. It was very entertaining for me to
- 51:09listen to and just be like mind blown, like he was actually genuine every
- 51:15single thing. The fact, how many times did he mentioned how the cast
- 51:20was so amazed. Boy was right there with him, just que all over.
- 51:25I didn't see noble leaders. Somebody said it on the I just I
- 51:30just heard someone heard them, did Yeah, yeah, he heard them noble
- 51:35leaders. You know, who are you again? I mean, I mean
- 51:39the cast at the end of the season, and we know that Robertson doesn't
- 51:44associate with the crew of course, or pay for drinks. We know that
- 51:49he's not paid for and the crews be just like the drinking game they could
- 51:55play, just telling stories about the ship that he What I love is that
- 52:00he suddenly, you know, compared it to like Apocalypse Now, and it
- 52:06was like, if you watch Upon Down, well, no, no,
- 52:07there was the part that I cut out is the really yeah? As well
- 52:10as that, Yeah, they said there was a part there where he says
- 52:14like people were telling war stories of the week they took to film Setita.
- 52:19People were telling war stories the same way people told war stories of Apocalypse Now.
- 52:22And to me, it's like, well, what's old mate, who
- 52:25was in Apocalypse Now? Yeah, Marlon Brando, I'm like, well,
- 52:29to me, Robert ce Cooper's Marlon Brando of the Stargate universe where he was
- 52:32just he was a nightmare on that on that shoot. Yeah, he was
- 52:37three hundred pounds overweight and refused to lose weight to him in the dark,
- 52:39yeah, because he wasn't And then he was just reading his lines on a
- 52:44on Q cards off screen. Still good, stuck to people's faces. Still
- 52:49actually not bad performance, I mean, not his best. It's a boring
- 52:52movie. Yeah, watching There's the Jungle bits are good. When you get
- 52:58to him, it's like, yeah, I was very bored during that film.
- 53:00I'd rather go watch hot Shots. I don't think I've seen hot Shots.
- 53:06I haven't seen either of them. Yeah, Apocalypse now ortch No,
- 53:09I know you didn't get into the Reducks when they read no least. I
- 53:17have seen hot Shots part Yeah, yeah, but see never the first one.
- 53:22So I'll just go to fury if I won a good war movie.
- 53:28I'm not a qubic fan either. I've realized too, Like I didn't think
- 53:31I was until I watch Shot. That movie is good. Oh yeah,
- 53:35that's what we talked about that a while, didn't we. I haven't been
- 53:37back to see that in a while. I watched. I mean I only
- 53:38watched two thousand and one Space to See for the first time, maybe five
- 53:42six years ago, and I think I don't think it holds up to now,
- 53:45but I understand it was big for what it was. I think I
- 53:47watched in the two thousands when I was seventeen. I was pretty bored.
- 53:52I don't think I've met it through clockwork Orange, and I definitely didn't make
- 53:54it through full metal jacket, you know me with like the military, I
- 54:00like, if I can't make it through the first half of the like Captain
- 54:04America or sorry, the second half of the Captain America First Avenger film,
- 54:07there's no way I'm making through a full metal jacket. I do want to
- 54:09see Spartacus. I want it's supposed to be good. SPA didn't last week
- 54:15he is talking about that's right. Last week cam Mitchell said, all right,
- 54:22Spartacus to bar Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was a great little
- 54:27gig the way he was dressed. Yeah. No, but like iron Ball,
- 54:31No, iron Ball, Spidacus, Barry Lindon, whatever that movie is
- 54:39Orange, it was a double Doctor Strange Love. Isn't that a Bond film?
- 54:45No? No, there's a that's what Apocalypse Now is kind of like
- 54:50Doctor I mean I didn't I haven't seen Doctor Strangel. But isn't that a
