Transcript
- 0:25Speaker 1: Get into Gates. The series finale of Stargates at Atlantis.
- 0:32Speaker 1: Those words taste weird coming out of my mouth, Maddie.
- 0:35Speaker 2: I didn't even really think about that until you just
- 0:37Speaker 2: said it. That's series finale, man, this is wow.
- 0:42Speaker 1: I mean yeah, if you're on our Patreon, you would
- 0:45Speaker 1: have seen my immediate thoughts. It's mentioned, Maddie. But god again,
- 0:50Speaker 1: the series finale of our second show that we've got.
- 0:52Speaker 1: We've now covered fifteen seasons of Stargate television. You know
- 0:55Speaker 1: who you listen, well, you know what we covered it
- 0:57Speaker 1: the other week. Sometimes people don't actually know who they're
- 0:59Speaker 1: listening to, but this as well.
- 1:00Speaker 2: Well, when I feel like I feel like my voice
- 1:03Speaker 2: is undeniable, people still seem to be like, I don't
- 1:05Speaker 2: know whether you're Mitchell Brendan sometimes and I'm.
- 1:07Speaker 1: Like, what good news for me, bad news for him?
- 1:12Speaker 1: But yeah, it finished, and I just I threw up
- 1:16Speaker 1: a little video sort of, you know, teasing my immediate thoughts.
- 1:20Speaker 3: And Patriot he's seen that. Even I haven't seen that yet.
- 1:23Speaker 3: I didn't even know.
- 1:24Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I just had a weird thought,
- 1:26Speaker 1: like again, I know I spoke about it a couple
- 1:28Speaker 1: of weeks ago when when Brendan was here for Brainstorm
- 1:32Speaker 1: and I talked about the fact that, and I think
- 1:36Speaker 1: in the next couple of episodes, I just sort of
- 1:38Speaker 1: I had this sort of growing sense of uneasiness because
- 1:44Speaker 1: I haven't been in this territory before, like certainly on
- 1:46Speaker 1: the podcast, I've not gotten to a series finale that
- 1:51Speaker 1: I wasn't aware of, you know, like i'd seen unending
- 1:54Speaker 1: for SG one fifteen years earlier than recording it. You know,
- 1:59Speaker 1: like I didn't all.
- 2:00Speaker 2: The other finales that they kind of ended the show on,
- 2:02Speaker 2: but then it would keep getting out.
- 2:03Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, exactly. So this one, this one was really
- 2:06Speaker 1: weird for me. And because in the last four or
- 2:08Speaker 1: five weeks worth of episodes, I'm heading into this and
- 2:11Speaker 1: I know that the show got canceled and they found
- 2:14Speaker 1: out well, as Giro put it, he knew about or
- 2:19Speaker 1: before he told the cast, but you know, were they
- 2:21Speaker 1: able to rectify the final scripts or the final script
- 2:26Speaker 1: for this episode to reflect that it was a series
- 2:29Speaker 1: finale and not a season finale. And then the fact
- 2:32Speaker 1: that we didn't get a movie. They were hoping to
- 2:33Speaker 1: get a movie, but wasn't going to be like SG one,
- 2:35Speaker 1: where well, we have wrapped things up, but we've certainly
- 2:38Speaker 1: left it open enough that if we want to come
- 2:39Speaker 1: back and tell more are story and a telemovie. I
- 2:42Speaker 1: don't know. I just I was getting uneasy about the
- 2:45Speaker 1: fact that we're heading into the final of something, and
- 2:47Speaker 1: for me, this is this is very much a first
- 2:49Speaker 1: for the podcast. So yeah, interesting times and what a
- 2:54Speaker 1: time to do it. Christmas Christmas twenty twenty five. If
- 2:58Speaker 1: you're listening to this in delay, that's when we're releasing
- 3:00Speaker 1: this one. So Merry Christmas, Maddie, and you know, happy holidays, yes,
- 3:05Speaker 1: happy old days. Oh you guess for depending on what
- 3:09Speaker 1: you like saying at this time of year. If you
- 3:10Speaker 1: like saying anything, I don't like saying anything. Okay, are
- 3:15Speaker 1: sure you're not brand it with that black heart?
- 3:17Speaker 3: I skip the whole. I say happy Year. That's about it.
- 3:20Speaker 3: A great yeah, hope, hope you have a great year.
- 3:22Speaker 1: By this By this point, you're just like this year
- 3:25Speaker 1: and just look forward to next year. You know, enough
- 3:27Speaker 1: for you with your your adult your adults are Jesus,
- 3:30Speaker 1: you know, I'm sorry, nor your child Jesus. Jesus is
- 3:35Speaker 1: adult Santa. Yes, yeah, yeah, sure, yeah sure right, Oh
- 3:40Speaker 1: the final synopsis for Stargate at Atlantis.
- 3:45Speaker 2: I just realized, well, did we do Penultimate last week?
- 3:48Speaker 2: I can't remember whether we got your favorite Penultmanent in there.
- 3:50Speaker 1: I can't either, and typically would.
- 3:53Speaker 2: We would be able to say right now what I
- 3:55Speaker 2: thought were be able to get for you is this
- 3:56Speaker 2: is the synopsis for the finale of the Penultont series.
- 4:00Speaker 3: But that's not even true anymore, not anymore, not anymore.
- 4:03Speaker 1: A couple of weeks ago, if we did this episode,
- 4:05Speaker 1: it would have been true. But no, no, sir. Another
- 4:08Speaker 1: prology is about last week, we had to swap studios
- 4:11Speaker 1: halfway through the record, and I said there would be
- 4:13Speaker 1: a slight change in audio. I just thought because we're
- 4:15Speaker 1: using different microphones, not that the microphones in the other
- 4:18Speaker 1: studio are shit. So just know that what you heard
- 4:23Speaker 1: was actually cleaned and tidied up by my beautiful audio
- 4:28Speaker 1: producer friend that does not get paid to do any
- 4:30Speaker 1: sort of work on our podcast, but I just asked
- 4:33Speaker 1: him to do me a favor here and there. So
- 4:35Speaker 1: what you heard, even though it still sounded a little
- 4:37Speaker 1: bit off, that's so much better than than what it
- 4:40Speaker 1: was when.
- 4:40Speaker 3: It was raw. Fine, It's ony Vegas.
- 4:42Speaker 1: I know right. If anything, it kind of fits kind
- 4:45Speaker 1: of like ghost the Machine, the fact that that was
- 4:46Speaker 1: a lost episode, got lost in the machine sweping when
- 4:49Speaker 1: they start listening to me, swiping because I'm always right.
- 4:52Speaker 1: Please feel all right, Please feel good about this one
- 4:54Speaker 1: because I want to. I want to. I want to
- 4:56Speaker 1: be good about this one. Episode twenty of C and
- 5:00Speaker 1: five Atlantis rushes to destroy and advanced Wraith high ships,
- 5:04Speaker 1: very advanced at Wraith Hive ship before it presents a
- 5:09Speaker 1: threat to Earth. What do you think? What? What do
- 5:17Speaker 1: you think? Of course we get the short one for
- 5:18Speaker 1: the final episode. That's just great. Well I teased, did
- 5:25Speaker 1: I say it on the on the pod or is
- 5:27Speaker 1: it off Mike? A couple of episodes ago that okay,
- 5:32Speaker 1: Look like I said at the top of this, I
- 5:34Speaker 1: don't know what's coming on Avenue, what was coming with this?
- 5:36Speaker 1: I've managed to escape this for fifteen sixteen years not
- 5:41Speaker 1: knowing what. So the beginning of nine, right, this episode,
- 5:45Speaker 1: beating of.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Eight beginning what oh no, I've written that down wrong.
- 5:48Speaker 2: The beginning of two thousand and nine.
- 5:49Speaker 1: Yeah, nine, yeah, so we're nearly we're nearly at a
- 5:53Speaker 1: seventeen year Holy shit, We're nearly at a seventeen year
- 5:57Speaker 1: mark since this episode came out. Heading into the podcast,
- 6:02Speaker 1: the only episode of Stargate Atlantis that I had ever
- 6:04Speaker 1: seen was The Pilots, and I watched that the first
- 6:08Speaker 1: day that it came out on DVD. Lincoln and I
- 6:10Speaker 1: went down to our local JB High Five, but the
- 6:12Speaker 1: box set came back. Watched the Pilot, absolutely loved it.
- 6:15Speaker 1: Lincoln pushed on with it. I couldn't for some reason,
- 6:17Speaker 1: and then just never did. And then this announcement comes
- 6:22Speaker 1: that Stargate is coming back in some form. Great. We
- 6:26Speaker 1: did a podcast on it. We speculated about what it
- 6:29Speaker 1: could be, what we might want from it, even though
- 6:31Speaker 1: we get very little information obviously online our own discord
- 6:35Speaker 1: Going Crazy, or the online discord on Twitter and threads
- 6:39Speaker 1: and everything else in between Going Crazy as well. Stargate
- 6:42Speaker 1: fans rejoice, we're finally getting it back. But I saw
- 6:47Speaker 1: and I cannot remember whether it was a tweet or
- 6:50Speaker 1: it was a thread or something on truth Social, because
- 6:52Speaker 1: obviously and it started off and it was like a
- 6:57Speaker 1: little preview. I must have it must have been like
- 6:59Speaker 1: a notification on my homepage and my phone, and I
- 7:02Speaker 1: must have just seen the top of it, and it's
- 7:04Speaker 1: clicked on it because with the new announcement of Stargate
- 7:06Speaker 1: blah blah blah, and it seemed, oh, I want to
- 7:09Speaker 1: see what they have to say. And it was one
- 7:11Speaker 1: of those things where your eyes betray you because they
- 7:13Speaker 1: start looking at things that you know you don't want
- 7:15Speaker 1: to look at. And I've looked down to see it
- 7:20Speaker 1: was like a little gift essentially, and then I've I'm
- 7:24Speaker 1: kind of darting between that and the text before I
- 7:27Speaker 1: knew what I was looking at. And then once I
- 7:30Speaker 1: realized what I was reading, it was far too late
- 7:32Speaker 1: and it said, well, obviously with Atlantis now in San Francisco,
- 7:37Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh you Saliba.
- 7:42Speaker 3: Wow.
- 7:43Speaker 1: Seventeen years ago this episode came out and I never
- 7:47Speaker 1: knew a thing about it. But then I knew a
- 7:49Speaker 1: thing about this entire series beyond the first episode. I
- 7:53Speaker 1: knew that Carter was in it at some point, and
- 7:56Speaker 1: that was king it.
- 7:58Speaker 2: You have a brother who lives and breathe this show,
- 8:01Speaker 2: who never once in seventeen you accidentally mentioned something nothing.
- 8:06Speaker 1: You and Brendan for all the things that you say
- 8:08Speaker 1: you didn't want to spoil, but you did nothing big.
- 8:10Speaker 1: You never spoiled anything big, Neither of you hinted, none
- 8:14Speaker 1: of you laughed. All the stuff that you have audio
- 8:17Speaker 1: a little big asterix on it a point that holy hell, man,
- 8:22Speaker 1: I went so so so long, and I was within
- 8:25Speaker 1: weeks of watching this episode and I read Atlantis is
- 8:30Speaker 1: now in San Francisco. And that's not something that you
- 8:34Speaker 1: can unread or unsee or unhear. Man like, yeah, because it's.
- 8:40Speaker 2: Not even like after a visit to San Francisco or
- 8:42Speaker 2: something where you're.
- 8:42Speaker 3: Like, oh, you know, by the end it'll be back
- 8:44Speaker 3: to normal.
- 8:44Speaker 4: No.
- 8:45Speaker 1: So I went in probably two weeks after reading that,
- 8:51Speaker 1: I watched this episode and I thought, okay, you can't.
- 8:55Speaker 1: You can't undo that.
- 8:56Speaker 2: Where they say the genie is out of the bottle,
- 8:58Speaker 2: it absolutely is, well technically go back in the bottle.
- 9:01Speaker 2: So I always feel like there's been a flawed analogy.
- 9:02Speaker 2: That's true, the toothpaste is out of the tube. You
- 9:04Speaker 2: can't get the toothpaste back of the tube.
- 9:06Speaker 1: Very true. You can try, no, but that's more like
- 9:09Speaker 1: with our little thing where you can squeeze the tube
- 9:11Speaker 1: and it's you know, like vacuum. I'm not going to
- 9:14Speaker 1: and just just try and enjoy it anyway, just try
- 9:17Speaker 1: and enjoy it. And you know what I fucking did.
- 9:19Speaker 1: This is a cool episode. It just gets going. And yeah,
- 9:23Speaker 1: off the back of Vegas last week, which you had
- 9:26Speaker 1: said in that podcast, Oh this whole thing, Yeah, it's
- 9:29Speaker 1: an alternate universe. It comes into play for like a
- 9:34Speaker 1: line of dialogue. That's all that this served was then
- 9:37Speaker 1: having a bit of fun, sure, and the writing and
- 9:39Speaker 1: the directing and the whole production, but the actual like
- 9:45Speaker 1: effects of this episode and this story, this narrative doesn't
- 9:49Speaker 1: really come into play like they suggest that it could.
- 9:52Speaker 1: And then we get here it's like, oh, yeah, we
- 9:54Speaker 1: just picked up this thing just yeah, I don't nowhere.
- 9:56Speaker 1: Maybe from another reality. Okay, let's see. Oh well that's
- 9:59Speaker 1: it on the wraith Ive ship is heading towards Earth,
- 10:03Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, it doesn't really matter what
- 10:04Speaker 1: happened last week because we've just got to fix it now.
- 10:07Speaker 1: It's that we're dealing with the consequence. And yeah, it's
- 10:11Speaker 1: just I don't know, it's fine. Like obviously, the threat
- 10:14Speaker 1: of them coming to Earth, it's like that's nothing new.
- 10:16Speaker 1: We've seen that with the with the Gold before. We've
- 10:20Speaker 1: been very very very familiar with the idea of like
- 10:23Speaker 1: them or the area and people big bads trying to
- 10:26Speaker 1: find Earth and just take over because of our sheer
- 10:29Speaker 1: numbers into the billions and all that sort of stuff.
- 10:31Speaker 1: But there was still something kind of fresh about it
- 10:34Speaker 1: being the Wraith and I don't and just again the
- 10:39Speaker 1: tod of it all sort of coming back into it
- 10:41Speaker 1: and picking up on those threads in the other week
- 10:43Speaker 1: where he's like, I won't forget this and so we're
- 10:45Speaker 1: going to bring him back into the fold, just in
- 10:47Speaker 1: a narrative point. But yeah, no, it was. It was fun.
- 10:50Speaker 1: I really enjoyed it. And then yeah, the way that
- 10:53Speaker 1: it ends, it didn't. Again, there was a lot to
- 10:56Speaker 1: running through my head in those final minutes where Okay,
- 11:00Speaker 1: we're going to it didn't even I knew that we
- 11:01Speaker 1: were going to sand Fran but when they were going
- 11:03Speaker 1: to land, it's like, oh, no, they're not. This is
- 11:04Speaker 1: going to land somewhere randomly in the ocean. And then
- 11:07Speaker 1: all of a sudden when they actually look out the
- 11:09Speaker 1: back deck and you can see the Golden Gate and
- 11:11Speaker 1: you're like, oh, okay, So the CGI kind of let
- 11:13Speaker 1: down before because it looked like we were just literally
- 11:15Speaker 1: going to be in the middle of Pacific. There was
- 11:16Speaker 1: no land anywhere, and we were a couple of hundred
- 11:18Speaker 1: feet off the water, and then we're there. It's like,
- 11:20Speaker 1: holy shit, we can't undo this. Now we're not just
- 11:23Speaker 1: like out there and like a random cruise liner has
- 11:26Speaker 1: went past and found us. We're in the middle of
- 11:28Speaker 1: San Francisco Bay. We wouldn't even there be too. I
- 11:32Speaker 1: think we were facing west, so yes, because it looked
- 11:38Speaker 1: like it was almost sunset sort of so where we were.
- 11:41Speaker 3: So they weren't inside the bay.
- 11:43Speaker 2: That was something they spoke about in the audio commentary
- 11:45Speaker 2: because they tossed up.
- 11:46Speaker 3: Originally it was going to be the.
- 11:47Speaker 2: Statue of Liberty, right, and then Paul was in the
- 11:52Speaker 2: Paul Mully was in the audio commentary without Joe, which
- 11:55Speaker 2: was weird that he said.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 11:56Speaker 2: So the original idea was they talked about having it Atlantis,
- 12:01Speaker 2: being parked aside and looking out onto the Statue of
- 12:03Speaker 2: Liberty because they're like.
- 12:04Speaker 1: Well, what, what big iconic.
- 12:06Speaker 2: Iconic landmarks can you look at from from the ocean,
- 12:10Speaker 2: And then when they sort of looked closer, they went, well, no,
- 12:13Speaker 2: you can't be looking at the Statue of Liberty from
- 12:16Speaker 2: being out in the ocean because it's too tight, like
- 12:18Speaker 2: there's just there's not enough room. They would have had
- 12:21Speaker 2: to have, you know, cut everything off. So they went, okay,
- 12:24Speaker 2: Golden Gate Bridge. But yeah, they were specific like saying like, well,
- 12:28Speaker 2: they weren't inside the bay. They were still out in
- 12:31Speaker 2: the ocean, right looking west, looking west at the Golden
- 12:35Speaker 2: gate Bridge.
- 12:37Speaker 1: Sorry looking east, Yeah, looking we're just kind of looking
- 12:41Speaker 1: towards this because I'm like, yeah, that proximity as if
- 12:44Speaker 1: I know, but I was there a couple of years agogos,
- 12:46Speaker 1: I'm a travel passport, but I'm like, that's basically where
- 12:50Speaker 1: Alcatraz is. If they were looking west, yes, if that
- 12:53Speaker 1: were inside the bay.
- 12:54Speaker 2: Yeah, So okay, the little line of dialogue where they
- 12:56Speaker 2: say there's like an exclusion zone like the Navy seven.
- 12:59Speaker 1: But it was kind of cool, which is fine.
- 13:01Speaker 3: But they didn't.
- 13:02Speaker 2: Land there obviously because people would have seen, so like
- 13:05Speaker 2: Atlanta's landed somewhere in the middle of the ocean. And
- 13:08Speaker 2: that was the other thing I was saying is that
- 13:10Speaker 2: was originally going to be the final shot, but then
- 13:12Speaker 2: they realized, well, if you just have Atlanta City on
- 13:15Speaker 2: the ocean and there's no landmarks, around it, then it
- 13:17Speaker 2: just looks different there on the normal planet. So they
- 13:20Speaker 2: had to put it, you know, somewhere. But yeah, so
- 13:23Speaker 2: they ended up being that it's outside in the exclusionary zones.
- 13:26Speaker 2: Was something moved there at a certain point after they'd
- 13:28Speaker 2: landed somewhere in the middle of the ocean.
- 13:30Speaker 1: Yeah, and then the oh we're under cloak. No one's looking.
- 13:33Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, okay. So theoretically, like, had that movie
- 13:37Speaker 1: had like the idea that, okay, that this fan on
- 13:40Speaker 1: Twitter or threads or whatever saying yeah, well Atlantis is
- 13:44Speaker 1: in sand friend, I'm like, well, not necessarily, like, if
- 13:48Speaker 1: they're going to pick it up in real time, it's
- 13:50Speaker 1: been nearly two decades since this happened, they would have
- 13:53Speaker 1: just taken off again.
- 13:54Speaker 3: Like they would have been there a weak max yeah
- 13:57Speaker 3: and gone.
- 13:58Speaker 2: According to the audio commentary Pulse, this was basically as
- 14:02Speaker 2: much as I gave shit to Martin Guiro a couple
- 14:04Speaker 2: of weeks ago, and because that's the only time I've
- 14:06Speaker 2: ever done it.
- 14:06Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the one hundredth episode.
- 14:08Speaker 2: This is you know, if you look at Rising as
- 14:10Speaker 2: being a part one, part two, two episode thing, this
- 14:14Speaker 2: is one hundredth episode. So this script was largely unchanged
- 14:18Speaker 2: from what it was going to be had the show
- 14:20Speaker 2: not been canceled. Okay, so it was already written to
- 14:23Speaker 2: be all this stuff as the one hundredth episode, as
- 14:26Speaker 2: the big.
- 14:26Speaker 1: One hundred episode, so had SG one did and it
- 14:29Speaker 1: was actually Vegas because it was like, let's be sane.
- 14:32Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, Well that's what happened with Scrubs.
- 14:35Speaker 2: When Scrubs got canceled the first time, or it got
- 14:38Speaker 2: it got a short season because of the like the
- 14:40Speaker 2: two thousand and seven writers struck whatever, so then it
- 14:42Speaker 2: got like a thirteen episode season and the final I
- 14:45Speaker 2: don't know how much of Scrubs you've watched, but the
- 14:46Speaker 2: final episode was like a fairy tale episode where like
- 14:49Speaker 2: they were telling a story overall.
- 14:52Speaker 1: Final episode originally.
- 14:54Speaker 2: Was going to be so it wasn't the last episode
- 14:56Speaker 2: filmed for that season, but then when they thought it
- 14:59Speaker 2: might be the se is finale, they put it into
- 15:01Speaker 2: the last spot, and a lot of the fandom, including myself,
- 15:03Speaker 2: was like, yeah, ah, that's kind of a shit way
- 15:06Speaker 2: to end it. And then it came back for like
- 15:07Speaker 2: season eight, season nine or like, so it was fine,
- 15:09Speaker 2: but had that been the final episode, I think it
- 15:12Speaker 2: would have really tarnished what that show real really was.
- 15:16Speaker 1: So I note only because it's a couple of weeks
- 15:18Speaker 1: away in real time. Are you excited for the revival? Yeah? Absolutely,
- 15:21Speaker 1: I've seen there's got a lot of the old hands
- 15:23Speaker 1: back on, right, like most.
- 15:24Speaker 3: All of them.
- 15:24Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 15:25Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, I'm very interested to see how that goes.
- 15:28Speaker 2: I saw like the little clip of it, and I
- 15:29Speaker 2: was like, holy crap, most of these people haven't aged
- 15:33Speaker 2: since the show finished.
- 15:34Speaker 1: It was pretty good.
- 15:35Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm very I'm very hopeful to see that when
- 15:38Speaker 2: it comes back.
- 15:39Speaker 1: Yeah. So, like that's what pisses me off more about
- 15:42Speaker 1: reading what I read is that what he said wasn't
- 15:44Speaker 1: even true, Like the idea of Atlanda is still being
- 15:46Speaker 1: in San France, Like no, it's not like that's where
- 15:48Speaker 1: we left it. But like, had the movie have come
- 15:50Speaker 1: out a year later in real time, like the release
- 15:53Speaker 1: date came out, you know, it was a year later
- 15:54Speaker 1: than this finale, we could have just had them back
- 15:57Speaker 1: on that planet in the Pegasus Alexy yeah, and not
- 16:01Speaker 1: even had to explain how they got back. It's like, yeah, fine, yeah,
- 16:04Speaker 1: rehabard blah blah blah.
- 16:05Speaker 3: And if you think about it.
- 16:07Speaker 2: The reason this show had the final episode be their
- 16:10Speaker 2: one hundredth episode is because they're only doing twenty episodes
- 16:13Speaker 2: a season, whereas SG one was doing twenty two whatever
- 16:17Speaker 2: it was. So if you remember, the one hundredth episode
- 16:19Speaker 2: was like midway through season five anything like that. So
- 16:24Speaker 2: had this episode fallen on that same kind of schedule,
- 16:27Speaker 2: I one hundred percent believe that the next episode would
- 16:29Speaker 2: have picked up of them back on their planet in Atlanta,
- 16:32Speaker 2: you know, I mean it would have just been like,
- 16:34Speaker 2: but yeah, I think I think whoever you know ruined
- 16:36Speaker 2: that for you was obvious one of those people that's like,
- 16:37Speaker 2: oh well, unless it's explicitly stated, then it didn't happen.
- 16:41Speaker 2: But you have to factor in, like there's so many
- 16:44Speaker 2: things that we say happen in every episode happen off
- 16:47Speaker 2: screen where somebody gets caught up on something or you know,
- 16:50Speaker 2: they're just they're informed about it off screen. You just
- 16:52Speaker 2: have to you have to roll with that. So, yeah,
- 16:54Speaker 2: there's no way Atlantis would have stayed because they haven't solved.
- 16:59Speaker 3: The Pegasus issue.
- 17:00Speaker 2: Like by the end of this episode, yes, they stop
- 17:03Speaker 2: that one Raith hive, but the Wraith are still you know,
- 17:08Speaker 2: destroying the Pegasus galaxy. Yeah, there's no way we would
- 17:11Speaker 2: just go, oh, well, we're here now, so we just
- 17:13Speaker 2: we'll just we'll just keep it here and look after
- 17:15Speaker 2: our own. Like there's no way Taylor would have Taylor's
- 17:18Speaker 2: people are still back in Pegasus. They don't explicitly state it.
- 17:22Speaker 2: But I don't know if Canan and uh, what's her baby's.
- 17:27Speaker 1: Name, torron Torn that's it.
- 17:29Speaker 3: I don't know whether they were on Atlantis with the Athosion.
- 17:32Speaker 1: Yeah, when they said to her and to Ronan like, hey,
- 17:34Speaker 1: we're like we're heading to a different galaxy now, Like,
- 17:36Speaker 1: you guys don't have to come right, you can stay
- 17:38Speaker 1: because this is not your fight, And they're like, well,
- 17:40Speaker 1: like any other fight, Yeah, we're coming. And I'm like, yeah,
- 17:43Speaker 1: cool for you, bro, because you're like a lone wolf.
- 17:46Speaker 1: She's Ethosion married. I guess probably she's at least part
- 17:51Speaker 1: of that up. She's got a kid. I'm assuming he's
- 17:53Speaker 1: got the kids.
- 17:54Speaker 3: She was always a leader of the people.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Yeah, like, like, she probably can't make that decision so easily.
- 17:59Speaker 1: And if anything, that goes more to the idea of like, well,
- 18:02Speaker 1: that's just what would happen in a season finale, because
- 18:05Speaker 1: we know that she's going to come back in season six,
- 18:07Speaker 1: and she'd be back with her family. The idea of like, well,
- 18:10Speaker 1: we tried our best in the Pegasus Galaxy and now
- 18:12Speaker 1: we're just here on Earth. It's like, what about these
- 18:15Speaker 1: other people? I mean, you can just stick them on
- 18:17Speaker 1: the dedaliss and fine.
- 18:19Speaker 2: Yes, because technically as well, like with Atlantis here, like
- 18:23Speaker 2: in the Milky Way Galaxy, there's technically i think no
- 18:26Speaker 2: way for us to gate to anywhere in the Pegasus
- 18:29Speaker 2: Galaxy because I'm assuming it's a two way thing, where
- 18:33Speaker 2: with the with the eight chevron address you can only
- 18:37Speaker 2: because they talk about the controlled crystal in Atlantis US
- 18:41Speaker 2: being the only ones being able to dial yeah, yeah,
- 18:44Speaker 2: and I'm assuming it's the other way around. Like I
- 18:46Speaker 2: don't think even with a zz PM attached, I don't
- 18:48Speaker 2: think Stargate Command could just dial up any stargate in
- 18:52Speaker 2: the Pegasus Galaxy.
- 18:53Speaker 1: No, So I like the idea that it's as well,
- 18:56Speaker 1: where you know, in Christmas time, that if there was
- 18:59Speaker 1: a bit of a home effect, that like there was
- 19:01Speaker 1: some team of Theirs out on mission that accounted for
- 19:05Speaker 1: they all of a sudden can't dial back to Atlantas
- 19:08Speaker 1: because Atlantis isn't there. But they you know again that
- 19:10Speaker 1: the planet they're on, they can get in a ship,
- 19:12Speaker 1: they get there for some read whatever. They get back
- 19:15Speaker 1: to that planet and they're just looking around this ocean, going,
- 19:17Speaker 1: there's nothing in it.
- 19:20Speaker 3: What's the line? My whole family disappeared.
- 19:24Speaker 1: I made my expedition disappear.
- 19:28Speaker 2: And they're just like, that should have been Kavanaugh. That
- 19:30Speaker 2: should have been Cavanaugh. That's what he should have been doing.
- 19:32Speaker 2: Oh yeah, excited to make everybody.
- 19:34Speaker 1: Yeah, the all hands on deck here where he just
- 19:36Speaker 1: pops up there like what are you doing here? It's
- 19:38Speaker 1: like I'm doing this and I'm like, yeah, I guess
- 19:39Speaker 1: if it's a series finale, we better bring back all
- 19:42Speaker 1: of our old favorites.
- 19:43Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 19:44Speaker 1: Now, another thing that that stuck out to me only
- 19:48Speaker 1: because it's like it was a big thing in SG one.
- 19:51Speaker 1: It was a big build up in SG one. It
- 19:54Speaker 1: was a massive season fin season seven finale of what
- 19:58Speaker 1: we find. Obviously that then led to become Atlantis itself.
- 20:03Speaker 3: So I guess literally the episode called Lost City, Yeah.
- 20:05Speaker 1: It's kind of poetic in a way, but the idea
- 20:07Speaker 1: of like what we found in the in Antarctica and
- 20:10Speaker 1: with the with the drones and the chair and shit
- 20:12Speaker 1: like the like the sort of like Last Defense of Earth,
- 20:16Speaker 1: that the of that that ancient technology that we have
- 20:19Speaker 1: used on occasion, and then we get this where it's
- 20:23Speaker 1: kind of just off screen. They're like, oh, yeah, we
- 20:25Speaker 1: moved that, don't worry about it. It's like, okay, cool,
- 20:27Speaker 1: we're using it. No, I just got destroyed, And I'm like,
- 20:29Speaker 1: are you fucking joke? Like it's kind of like, you know,
- 20:32Speaker 1: giving your neighbor your toy as a kid, and then
- 20:35Speaker 1: without knowing he just like he doesn't even bring you
- 20:38Speaker 1: back the broken pieces. He's like, oh that, No, I
- 20:40Speaker 1: broke it and I just chucked it out it out
- 20:43Speaker 1: You're like what sorry?
- 20:44Speaker 4: What?
- 20:44Speaker 1: Like That's what it felt like to me watching, Like
- 20:46Speaker 1: I'm not you know, I'm not only a Stargate fan
- 20:49Speaker 1: because I love the Antarctica, you know, the chair and
- 20:51Speaker 1: the drones and the ancient technology blah blah blah, but
- 20:54Speaker 1: it felt like that was such a special thing for
- 20:56Speaker 1: the SG one series, and then in Here Atlanta it's
- 21:00Speaker 1: just an offhand thing in their finale that oh yeah,
- 21:03Speaker 1: we're using it, but on the rath of just destroyed.
- 21:06Speaker 1: It's gone now we can't use that. We've got to
- 21:08Speaker 1: think of something else.
- 21:08Speaker 2: I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure there's at
- 21:11Speaker 2: least two other episodes, like alternate reality episodes where those
- 21:17Speaker 2: alternate realities make the mistake of moving the chair to
- 21:21Speaker 2: Area fifty one. I'm pretty sure the one where it
- 21:23Speaker 2: was like President Landry and when Carter got you know,
- 21:28Speaker 2: flicked over. I'm pretty sure that universe got screwed over
- 21:32Speaker 2: because they moved the chair to area for every one.
- 21:35Speaker 2: And I feel like there was another episode somewhere, like
- 21:37Speaker 2: an alternate universe episode where maybe even continuum, where like
- 21:41Speaker 2: the chair got moved to Area fifty one and then
- 21:45Speaker 2: it was destroyed. So it was a dumb move, Like
- 21:48Speaker 2: I don't know why they would have moved it there,
- 21:51Speaker 2: But I also don't understand the logistics of how much
- 21:54Speaker 2: we know about it.
- 21:54Speaker 3: I wish we knew more.
- 21:55Speaker 2: Obviously in Rising, there's the base there now at mc
- 21:59Speaker 2: murdough and a like kind of stuff, you know, where
- 22:01Speaker 2: we where we pick up with all these all these
- 22:02Speaker 2: characters at the start of Rising. Yeah, and they're studying
- 22:05Speaker 2: things and all that kind of stuff. But it's like, okay,
- 22:07Speaker 2: so if the chair was moved weird. What about is
- 22:10Speaker 2: there just a big warehouse in Antarctica filled with drones
- 22:14Speaker 2: or did they have to move that as well? Like
- 22:16Speaker 2: is it Wi Fi? Does it need some kind of
- 22:18Speaker 2: connect Like I want to know more about Like does
- 22:21Speaker 2: that mean Earth doesn't have Like I understand, we don't
- 22:25Speaker 2: have the chair anymore, so we can't control the drones.
- 22:28Speaker 2: But do the drones still exist? And could they fit
- 22:33Speaker 2: those drones? Could they give all those drones to Atlantis?
- 22:35Speaker 2: And Atlantis now has you know, a top up of drones?
- 22:38Speaker 1: I mean you got to think that they've got the
- 22:41Speaker 1: a way to get a wholes of them and harvest
- 22:43Speaker 1: them or something. Yeah.
- 22:44Speaker 2: Well, and there's a chair in Atlantis, so they're able
- 22:46Speaker 2: to fire drones. So is it is it a way
- 22:49Speaker 2: of them just getting a top up of weapons? I mean,
- 22:51Speaker 2: you know, Brendan spoke about it before, is like, it
- 22:53Speaker 2: doesn't make any sense that Atlantis doesn't have some kind
- 22:56Speaker 2: of facility.
- 22:58Speaker 3: In the city that makes droves.
- 23:00Speaker 1: Yeah, we haven't found the room yet.
- 23:02Speaker 3: Yeah yeah.
- 23:03Speaker 2: So yeah, so there's a lot of questions surrounding that.
- 23:06Speaker 2: But yeah, maybe that's something they'll pick up in the
- 23:10Speaker 2: in the new series, Like yeah, Earth doesn't have the
- 23:13Speaker 2: chair anymore, and it is a blink and you'll miss
- 23:15Speaker 2: it kind of kind of situation. But yeah, is it
- 23:18Speaker 2: also going to be a situation where they'll they'll go
- 23:20Speaker 2: to Proclus Taro Nass and rip that chair out and
- 23:23Speaker 2: go and put it in.
- 23:24Speaker 1: Back on Earth. When they have a gate that blows up,
- 23:26Speaker 1: they just go and steal the gate and it's it's
- 23:31Speaker 1: all okay. Well, so that was like a big thing
- 23:34Speaker 1: for for SG one here though, something is very big
- 23:36Speaker 1: for SGA that I honestly for a second believe that
- 23:41Speaker 1: they were doing, and that was killing Ronan.
- 23:44Speaker 3: You know, going back and watching it now, I wish
- 23:47Speaker 3: they did. I kind of wish they did.
- 23:49Speaker 1: And see in that like because you know, like you'll
- 23:52Speaker 1: sit there and watch a think the movies the other
- 23:55Speaker 1: day with my boys and my youngest he's eight, and
- 23:58Speaker 1: he turns to it one says, yes, I don't think
- 24:00Speaker 1: the person's really dead because the main character doesn't die
- 24:04Speaker 1: sometimes they do, buddy, and he's like, oh, and it
- 24:06Speaker 1: like kind of broke his heart a little bit, even
- 24:07Speaker 1: though quite clearly the main character in front wasn't dying
- 24:10Speaker 1: and didn't end up dying, but he was I think
- 24:13Speaker 1: at eight, he thinks he's got it all figured out.
- 24:15Speaker 1: I'm like, no, that's why we need more deaths in TV,
- 24:18Speaker 1: and you need the main character to hit the demise.
- 24:21Speaker 2: But yeah, imagine, now this is a spoiler for Toy
- 24:24Speaker 2: Story three from hasn't seen it.
- 24:26Speaker 3: Imagine if the end the Toy Story three that actually
- 24:28Speaker 3: will ended up in.
- 24:29Speaker 1: I only spoke about it the other week. I think
- 24:30Speaker 1: maybe all the kids, and I said, I honestly thought
- 24:34Speaker 1: that they were going to do which doesn't make you
- 24:36Speaker 1: watch it now, and I was like, of course they
- 24:37Speaker 1: are never going to do that. But watching that as
- 24:40Speaker 1: someone who grew I was you and I were in
- 24:43Speaker 1: that nice like generation with regard to the Toy Story
- 24:46Speaker 1: we were Andy, right, so we're like ten ish or so,
- 24:49Speaker 1: depending on where it was it ninety five, you know,
- 24:53Speaker 1: I was nine, your ten, Like, we're roughly Andy's age,
- 24:57Speaker 1: and they were moving in real time. We get to
- 24:58Speaker 1: twenty or twenty ninety the ten when Number three come
- 25:01Speaker 1: out and he's getting ready to go off to college
- 25:03Speaker 1: and like he's late teens, early twenties, and it's like, yeah,
- 25:05Speaker 1: that's kind of what I was. Early twenties, you know,
- 25:08Speaker 1: you're in the early twenties as well, and we're kind
- 25:10Speaker 1: of in that space. We've got toys and figurines at home,
- 25:13Speaker 1: and we probably played with more than what Andy stores
- 25:15Speaker 1: at that point in his story. Buch a different conversation.
- 25:18Speaker 3: I literally just bought some bark Mass from Ass Toys.
- 25:21Speaker 3: They arrived, so.
- 25:22Speaker 1: And like, I honestly watching that was like, oh shit,
- 25:26Speaker 1: they're going to do this, And what a beautiful ending
- 25:28Speaker 1: that they all get to go out together.
- 25:30Speaker 2: I cried when they're all like reaching for each other
- 25:32Speaker 2: and holding each other's hands.
- 25:33Speaker 1: Yep. And then now it's like they're going to release
- 25:36Speaker 1: number five in six months time. You're like, oh, yeah,
- 25:37Speaker 1: well of course they would never going to kill them.
- 25:40Speaker 2: You know, I saw a TikTok where some evil, evil
- 25:44Speaker 2: children probably I guess our age did to their parents
- 25:48Speaker 2: is they did a little edit so because there's a
- 25:50Speaker 2: moment there where it fades to black, they they intercut
- 25:53Speaker 2: that with the end credits, so they they're watching with
- 25:55Speaker 2: like their sixty year old mother and.
- 25:58Speaker 3: She thought that's how it ended.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Brilliant.
- 26:00Speaker 3: Yeah, And I'm like, that is so devious.
- 26:02Speaker 1: I hope that's our own head canon for like ages.
- 26:04Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, toy story five.
- 26:06Speaker 1: It's actually it takes place between two and three.
- 26:09Speaker 3: It's a whole it's a whole Tokyo drift scenario.
- 26:12Speaker 2: Don't think about it too hard.
- 26:17Speaker 1: And you know, you watch, especially in TV, you watch
- 26:20Speaker 1: a death of a character or a fake at death,
- 26:24Speaker 1: and you don't feel anything because it's well, that's not
- 26:27Speaker 1: how a character goes okay, like you know, hey, awful things.
- 26:30Speaker 1: Let's make it someone else that we know driving today,
- 26:33Speaker 1: they are in a car accident. They're not having a
- 26:35Speaker 1: char accent. After they speak to their spouse telling them
- 26:38Speaker 1: how how much they love them and their kids, and
- 26:41Speaker 1: by like finally like getting approval and something for their house.
- 26:45Speaker 1: They're family going to be looked after, or they've just
- 26:47Speaker 1: after they've won the lottery or something, or they've achieved
- 26:49Speaker 1: a certain thing. We don't get that.
- 26:51Speaker 2: In real life, like those movie moments where they're like, Oh,
- 26:55Speaker 2: I'm coming home right now, babe, I'm on my way.
- 26:57Speaker 3: I've got some great news for you.
- 26:59Speaker 1: And just so you know, I'm I'm not angry at you.
- 27:00Speaker 1: I was never angry. How could I ever? I love
- 27:02Speaker 1: you so much and I can't wait to spend the
- 27:04Speaker 1: rest of my other bang Like, we don't get those
- 27:07Speaker 1: in real life very very very very rarely, but in TV,
- 27:11Speaker 1: especially what you finish and movies we get we get
- 27:16Speaker 1: far more of them there, but especially in TV because
- 27:19Speaker 1: there's more episodes to work with, and they've got such
- 27:21Speaker 1: a restricted duration of episodes or episode length rather, that
- 27:27Speaker 1: you can kind of work out when one is going
- 27:29Speaker 1: to be real and when it's not based on when
- 27:31Speaker 1: in the season it falls, or at what point of
- 27:34Speaker 1: the episode that it falls. Also when someone seemingly it
- 27:37Speaker 1: gets shot and they just like, oh, there's their body
- 27:39Speaker 1: and they move on, You're like, well, no, that's not
- 27:41Speaker 1: how a main character, or even someone like Ronan who
- 27:43Speaker 1: is not the main character but one of the core
- 27:45Speaker 1: four or something. That's not how their story in this
- 27:48Speaker 1: show ends. But there was enough of it in this
- 27:51Speaker 1: that I thought, well, you know what it is. Ronan.
- 27:54Speaker 1: They've given him up until maybe fifteen minutes ago in
- 27:58Speaker 1: the series finale. He he's made a bit of a
- 28:01Speaker 1: sacrifice play for one of the main characters that has
- 28:04Speaker 1: been there since the original the very first episode, and
- 28:09Speaker 1: they sort of still lingered on him on the ground
- 28:11Speaker 1: as he was fading away, and I'm like, holy shit,
- 28:13Speaker 1: no that this they are actually killing him. And then
- 28:16Speaker 1: it plays in my head being in this room with
- 28:17Speaker 1: you guys where I've speculated, I'm like, oh, if Stogo
- 28:20Speaker 1: it overcomes back, like imagine if they just threw all
- 28:23Speaker 1: their money or Jose Moore and said, can you come
- 28:25Speaker 1: back and do like a cameo episode or a cameo
- 28:27Speaker 1: appearance or something, and you guys like that's nice, and
- 28:30Speaker 1: like it didn't mean anything to me at the time,
- 28:32Speaker 1: because I thought you're trying to like savor you know,
- 28:34Speaker 1: not so much spoilers for deaths or anything more so
- 28:39Speaker 1: just narrative or just like, let's not talk about that.
- 28:41Speaker 1: That's not the point of what we're talking about in
- 28:43Speaker 1: this episode. And then in those like again mere minute
- 28:47Speaker 1: it was between that the fake out and then him
- 28:49Speaker 1: essentially being brought back to life, I'm like, holy shit,
- 28:53Speaker 1: Maddie and Brennan had done it again. They're hidden the
- 28:55Speaker 1: fact that this guy who at the time was like, yeah,
- 28:58Speaker 1: he's recognizable, but.
- 29:00Speaker 3: I finally perfect him my poker face.
- 29:02Speaker 1: Damn man, this episode just threw me around.
- 29:05Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 29:05Speaker 2: What I thought was interesting is they'd almost kind of
- 29:08Speaker 2: set it up in the end of last season when
- 29:11Speaker 2: when Hologram Rodney was like telling all the song stories
- 29:15Speaker 2: of everybody and he kind of went out this way.
- 29:17Speaker 2: He was tired at the time, but he kind of
- 29:19Speaker 2: went out that way doing the sacrifice place.
- 29:21Speaker 1: So think about that.
- 29:22Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's like I almost, yeah, I almost do
- 29:26Speaker 2: kind of wish they had done it, But then I
- 29:29Speaker 2: think they would have needed a two parts to do
- 29:31Speaker 2: it because how quickly everything wraps up where they all
- 29:34Speaker 2: just kind of walk out onto the balcony at the end,
- 29:37Speaker 2: and it's kind of that happy ending. It's like we
- 29:38Speaker 2: wouldn't be able to really have that without the steeing of.
- 29:43Speaker 3: Ronan being there.
- 29:44Speaker 2: However, I will say to anybody that hasn't watched the
- 29:47Speaker 2: Buffy finale yet, which again is another show that's coming
- 29:51Speaker 2: back that they've just been filming, there is a beloved
- 29:54Speaker 2: character who not one of the original Scoobies, someone who
- 29:57Speaker 2: was brought in at a later date, stuck around for
- 29:59Speaker 2: a long, long, long long time, has a very brutal,
- 30:04Speaker 2: unceremonious death in the final episode, and there is not
- 30:07Speaker 2: a lot of time that is spent on it, just
- 30:09Speaker 2: because of the tone of the episode and the you know,
- 30:12Speaker 2: the futility of life and death and all that kind
- 30:16Speaker 2: of stuff, and the I feel like it was specifically
- 30:19Speaker 2: done to yeah not get that TV moment. Yeah, it
- 30:23Speaker 2: was just the randomness and the the unimportance of death.
- 30:28Speaker 2: How you know that a person on the world is
- 30:31Speaker 2: dying right now, and another one right now, and another
- 30:33Speaker 2: one right now, Like there's nothing sort of special about it.
- 30:36Speaker 3: So yeah, maybe maybe two thousand.
- 30:39Speaker 2: And nine me would have been crying into my pillow
- 30:41Speaker 2: and being like, it's not fair.
- 30:42Speaker 3: It's not fair. I can't believe they did that. But
- 30:44Speaker 3: twenty twenty five.
- 30:44Speaker 1: Me is like, well, yeah, like, I know, you guys
- 30:50Speaker 1: have laughed at the you know, me and my love
- 30:52Speaker 1: for twenty four but like, you know, Keith Sutherland as
- 30:55Speaker 1: Jack Bauer was the guy for that entire series. They
- 30:59Speaker 1: had like a little revival season that was about someone different.
- 31:03Speaker 1: But I remember, I don't know how many they made.
- 31:07Speaker 1: They made eight, so I don't know understand. Okay, so
- 31:09Speaker 1: he got twenty four to twenty four episodes whatever, each
- 31:12Speaker 1: and hour it's the whole day. And then for season
- 31:14Speaker 1: nine they did twelve episodes. Cool, it's still told in
- 31:17Speaker 1: real time, so it's still technically twenty four, but I'm like, well,
- 31:20Speaker 1: why not give us whatever is obviously weird? Maybe I
- 31:23Speaker 1: don't I don't think that there was like a year's
- 31:25Speaker 1: break and it was like, all right, we'll give you
- 31:26Speaker 1: one more. But half the time.
- 31:28Speaker 3: Maybe maybe it was a money theme.
- 31:30Speaker 1: I can't remember what the story was, but okay, even
- 31:33Speaker 1: so for the first eight seasons, and I can't remember
- 31:36Speaker 1: at what point, And Keifer Sutherland got interviewed and he said,
- 31:40Speaker 1: I can't hope they do it some stage. Okay, probably
- 31:43Speaker 1: sounds fun to an interviewer. He's like an executive producer.
- 31:45Speaker 1: He wants to get paid, so he's going to want
- 31:48Speaker 1: to stick around as the lead actor as well for
- 31:50Speaker 1: those residuals. But he said, I think the show at
- 31:54Speaker 1: some stage should kill my character, just to prove to
- 31:57Speaker 1: the audience that at any stage, some one can die,
- 32:00Speaker 1: like anybody can die. And that I remember the season
- 32:04Speaker 1: four pilot, you can't really call it a pilot. The season
- 32:07Speaker 1: four premiere episode, and a character that was pretty main
- 32:11Speaker 1: for the first three seasons gets assassinated in the first
- 32:16Speaker 1: I don't know three minutes of the show. Is that
- 32:18Speaker 1: his daughter, No, no, she she was she was a
- 32:21Speaker 1: round of the back rend but they had an a
- 32:22Speaker 1: strange relationships. They could sort of bring her back in
- 32:24Speaker 1: an hour whenever she wanted to.
- 32:25Speaker 2: That's the only actor that I know because she went
- 32:27Speaker 2: on and did that show Happy Endings.
- 32:29Speaker 1: Oh she and that Yeah, yeah right at La.
- 32:33Speaker 2: Yes, And obviously as men of our generation, we all
- 32:37Speaker 2: remember the girl next door.
- 32:38Speaker 1: Yes we do.
- 32:39Speaker 3: Yeah, that was at a pivotal time in our upbringings.
- 32:41Speaker 1: So it was the premier episode of season two or
- 32:42Speaker 1: twenty four when she's walking around and we'll talk about
- 32:44Speaker 1: it on my twenty four and twenty four podcasts Suddenly.
- 32:48Speaker 2: You're getting into my house. They can see on twenty
- 32:51Speaker 2: four sound a little more interesting areas.
- 32:54Speaker 1: M Yeah, so like, yeah, I just think that, you know,
- 32:57Speaker 1: it's I don't want to see more of you know,
- 33:00Speaker 1: favorite people die, Like I would have hated to have
- 33:02Speaker 1: seen Jack O'Neill die at some point, but well, and
- 33:05Speaker 1: it's stick yeah a couple of sure, but like even
- 33:08Speaker 1: when they brought him back for Atlantis, and I'm like,
- 33:09Speaker 1: they're not going to kill him off in Atlantis, but
- 33:13Speaker 1: it would have been a very well deserved death, Like
- 33:16Speaker 1: he would have went out like a fucking hero.
- 33:18Speaker 2: What if that's the opening scene of the new show,
- 33:21Speaker 2: the death of Jack O'Neill.
- 33:24Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's like the impetus of something.
- 33:26Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I hope they don't do some like Okay,
- 33:28Speaker 1: Richard and Anderson is still kicking. He's just an executive producer.
- 33:31Speaker 1: But it starts off and it's like at his funeral
- 33:33Speaker 1: or something or a couple of episodes in and they
- 33:36Speaker 1: just decide what to what to do with him there.
- 33:39Speaker 2: But I mean, speaking of real world deaths, it was
- 33:41Speaker 2: written into this episode obviously the scene with mentioning General Hammond, Yeah,
- 33:46Speaker 2: which I think was perfect in the way that I
- 33:49Speaker 2: mean a tapping came back to this episode.
- 33:51Speaker 1: Very cool.
- 33:52Speaker 2: Well, they owed that anyway, because like she got the
- 33:54Speaker 2: she got the Weir and the Ford contract contract where
- 33:59Speaker 2: she had to do she finished best season and then
- 34:00Speaker 2: was contracted PLAD to do four episodes or whatever, so
- 34:03Speaker 2: she did those at the start of the season, but
- 34:05Speaker 2: she still had one left, so and they obviously had
- 34:07Speaker 2: planned to bring her back for the hundred ths regardless.
- 34:10Speaker 2: But I think the fact that it was Carter speaking
- 34:12Speaker 2: about General Hammond, given that she's the only one that
- 34:17Speaker 2: really where was Landry is the off world no, he
- 34:21Speaker 2: was like he was in Washington dealing with home world security.
- 34:24Speaker 1: I think something like that.
- 34:27Speaker 2: Yeah, so she was just in command while he was
- 34:31Speaker 2: off coordinating with all that kind of stuff.
- 34:33Speaker 1: I kind of like that because for someone like Carter,
- 34:34Speaker 1: you're like, well, as a viewer, you trust her, yes,
- 34:38Speaker 1: like with every fabric of your being. And so when
- 34:42Speaker 1: she's sitting there going, oh, I've got to make the
- 34:44Speaker 1: decisions here, and you're looking at the stress and the
- 34:46Speaker 1: thoughts that are running through a million mile an hour
- 34:48Speaker 1: in her head, and you're like, well, regardless what happens, man,
- 34:50Speaker 1: I trust it, you're going to make the right call here,
- 34:51Speaker 1: because you always have. But I think that added to
- 34:55Speaker 1: the to the tension of the episode. The stakes already
- 34:58Speaker 1: pretty high, but throwing in Carter and showing that she
- 35:02Speaker 1: was under pressured, I'm like, oh, yeah, this is actually
- 35:04Speaker 1: really It's not like, oh, Atlantis, there've always been a
- 35:07Speaker 1: little bit sort of you know, over their head, you know, yeah,
- 35:11Speaker 1: when you've got nothing against weird. But she's not a
- 35:13Speaker 1: military commander or anything, so she had to make negotiating yeah,
- 35:17Speaker 1: which she has had to make, have been forced to
- 35:18Speaker 1: make military decisions and things like that, or Wolsey, who's
- 35:22Speaker 1: not a military person. He's a politics gun, you know.
- 35:24Speaker 2: And also weird at the time, very very early on,
- 35:27Speaker 2: like still very green because Carter's been doing this for
- 35:30Speaker 2: thirteen years at this point, you know what I mean.
- 35:32Speaker 2: So we are our trust in Carter is implicit.
- 35:35Speaker 1: So when she's stressed, you're like, oh, okay, no, this
- 35:37Speaker 1: is a stress situation.
- 35:38Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 35:39Speaker 1: So now I love the fact that she was back.
- 35:41Speaker 2: And then I don't know if you realize, but it's
- 35:43Speaker 2: when they were talking about the new Daedalist class ship,
- 35:46Speaker 2: the Phoenix, and how it had been renamed the George Hammond. Again,
- 35:50Speaker 2: if we go back to the season finale of season
- 35:52Speaker 2: four when Holographic Rodney was telling everybody's stories, when Carter
- 35:57Speaker 2: went out in the Sacrifice playing her Daedalist class that
- 36:00Speaker 2: was her in command of the US Phoenix Roight. So
- 36:04Speaker 2: I don't know, because she does say in this episode
- 36:08Speaker 2: that's her next appointment is she's going to get command
- 36:10Speaker 2: of her own Daedalus class ship. So I don't know
- 36:13Speaker 2: if that if she gets the George Hammond or not.
- 36:16Speaker 1: Yeah, but.
- 36:18Speaker 2: Can you imagine that, like like Colonel Carter commanding the
- 36:23Speaker 2: George Hammond.
- 36:24Speaker 3: Yeah, I think.
- 36:25Speaker 1: I'm seeing stargate returning, and she is, and I'll get her.
- 36:31Speaker 1: That's one for this. She's the Jane Way of her
- 36:35Speaker 1: own ship, and it's the Hammond and it's Carter. And
- 36:37Speaker 1: we already love Carter. You love.
- 36:39Speaker 3: That's a demotion.
- 36:40Speaker 2: That's a demotion if she was if she was getting that,
- 36:43Speaker 2: she was getting that in two thousand and nine, mate,
- 36:44Speaker 2: everyone's saying she should be the general of the SGC.
- 36:47Speaker 3: Absolutely told me to get to twenty twenty five.
- 36:50Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, but like she might like being out
- 36:52Speaker 1: there in space traveling around doing stuff.
- 36:54Speaker 2: You know, you know, you know, you know, you know,
- 36:59Speaker 2: maybe I love me some Carter, I do. She's she's gonna.
- 37:05Speaker 1: I was going to give it to myself, but now
- 37:07Speaker 1: I'll just now I'll give it to you. How dare
- 37:11Speaker 1: you speak ill of Carter? Not that you did?
- 37:13Speaker 2: You just no, no, no, she's you know, yeah, the
- 37:16Speaker 2: same way I would say, I would say valaml Duran
- 37:19Speaker 2: is no Eron Swton, you know what I mean? And
- 37:24Speaker 2: that's usually the same the same actress, you know what
- 37:26Speaker 2: I mean? So Red Red Redsdakov from Orange is the
- 37:30Speaker 2: New Black's Yeah, same actress, but whatever, whatever her name
- 37:38Speaker 2: is from Sanctuary.
- 37:39Speaker 3: She was doc doctor magnuson Sanctuary.
- 37:42Speaker 2: Yeah, Magnus, Sanctuary is.
- 37:48Speaker 1: Uh not to continue on with the st chat. But
- 37:51Speaker 1: even this morning, my you know, knowing that I was
- 37:53Speaker 1: coming and do this, my kid said, oh, you know,
- 37:56Speaker 1: when did you first start watching Stargate? Actually? What my boys?
- 38:00Speaker 1: He first he said star Trek and I saw a
- 38:02Speaker 1: Stargate he said, oh yeah yeah. And then then they
- 38:05Speaker 1: asked about Star Trek and I said, your kids have
- 38:08Speaker 1: asked about Star Trek. It was more just hag me
- 38:11Speaker 1: in coach and I said, They said, how much of
- 38:17Speaker 1: that have you seen? I said, I mate, like nothing,
- 38:18Speaker 1: I've seen nothing of of Star Trek. Really, you see
- 38:22Speaker 1: the JJ films, you haven't seen any three films and
- 38:25Speaker 1: nine episodes of Discovery.
- 38:27Speaker 2: Yes, so you've not seen you see you've seen some
- 38:30Speaker 2: weird sci fi ye, but you've never.
- 38:32Speaker 1: Seen anything with a Star Trek paint chob on it. Yes,
- 38:35Speaker 1: on the.
- 38:35Speaker 3: Daedalus Class ships. There is a line in here. Well.
- 38:40Speaker 2: First of all, I do love the moment where we
- 38:42Speaker 2: got to see Colonel Ellis get his ass kicked, because
- 38:45Speaker 2: I still hate that guy.
- 38:47Speaker 3: And I know, floating in space frozen stiff we're smiled.
- 38:52Speaker 1: She smiled. She absolutely had a little grin tremor through
- 38:56Speaker 1: the cosmos. Yeah, in the force.
- 38:59Speaker 2: But yeah, we get a line in this episode where
- 39:01Speaker 2: the Odyssey is unavailable and it's on some top secret mission.
- 39:06Speaker 3: That you will get resolution to in stargeting.
- 39:11Speaker 1: Oh yeah.
- 39:12Speaker 4: No.
- 39:12Speaker 1: When I heard whatever line of dialogue and it in
- 39:16Speaker 1: the grand scheme of this episode, I'm like, that doesn't
- 39:19Speaker 1: mean much, but there was just something about it. I
- 39:21Speaker 1: can't even remember the exact word, but as it was spoken,
- 39:25Speaker 1: I was like, Oh, I feel like that's universe related.
- 39:28Speaker 1: So okay, good, I'm gonna have to probably go back.
- 39:30Speaker 1: I'd like to go back and just rewatch this anyway
- 39:32Speaker 1: without the pressure of like what am we going to
- 39:34Speaker 1: talk about the podcast, just and also try and get
- 39:37Speaker 1: through and just enjoy this without knowing about the fact
- 39:39Speaker 1: of where the Big City ends up. Boody. Hell, I'm
- 39:43Speaker 1: still I'm not even that I'm honestly, you know what,
- 39:45Speaker 1: I'm not that pissed about it, because I still enjoyed
- 39:47Speaker 1: the episode. Yeah. If I would have come out of
- 39:49Speaker 1: this and went, oh it all hinged on the fact
- 39:51Speaker 1: of this like reveal at the end, I would have
- 39:54Speaker 1: been filthy, but no, it was just a good episode
- 39:55Speaker 1: any yah, just.
- 39:56Speaker 3: That little just that little last shot, last enjoyable shot.
- 39:59Speaker 3: I do think it was weird though, that.
- 40:02Speaker 2: The last line I believe was like I'm about to say,
- 40:05Speaker 2: Bacado was Wolsey saying oh roun and welcome to Earth.
- 40:10Speaker 3: So many times, bunch of times, a bunch of times, Like.
- 40:13Speaker 1: If you want those people that like you want to
- 40:14Speaker 1: get Earth, He's I think I've done. I think I've
- 40:16Speaker 1: seen it. You know, Do you want to go and
- 40:17Speaker 1: have a look around? He's like, no, no, well there's
- 40:20Speaker 1: a famous prison over there. He's like, I don't give
- 40:21Speaker 1: a shit.
- 40:22Speaker 2: Yeah, He's like, the last time I was here it
- 40:23Speaker 2: was John's father's funeral and there was an awesome buffet spread.
- 40:28Speaker 3: Where can I get a buff ace?
- 40:29Speaker 1: Yeah? Show me the food?
- 40:30Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 40:31Speaker 1: Show me where can get like the biggest beer I
- 40:33Speaker 1: can find? There's a strip club nearby that probably sounds
- 40:36Speaker 1: appealing as well. I guess you know this bridge, it's
- 40:40Speaker 1: called the Gold It's actually not gold though, like we
- 40:42Speaker 1: just call it that, but it's actually like.
- 40:43Speaker 3: This weird sort of and there's no gate attached.
- 40:45Speaker 1: To it, and it's like you want to see that,
- 40:47Speaker 1: It's like, no, do you want to ride a bike
- 40:48Speaker 1: across it?
- 40:48Speaker 4: Now?
- 40:48Speaker 1: It's like that's the thing, like anywhere you go, like
- 40:51Speaker 1: here where were living? I love Brisbane. I love Brisbane.
- 40:54Speaker 1: People come here and go what should we don't know?
- 40:57Speaker 1: M Well, a lot of places. I tell him to
- 40:59Speaker 1: go outside of Brisbane because I'm like, well that's what
- 41:01Speaker 1: I like going. You know where. There's probably landmarks here
- 41:04Speaker 1: that they advertised about Brisbane. I'm like, yeah that, I
- 41:06Speaker 1: see that all the time. Someone in Sandfran, which I
- 41:08Speaker 1: know they hate the terminology Sandfralogy, Yeah, yeah, you got to.
- 41:11Speaker 1: I think I think they like s f You can't say,
- 41:14Speaker 1: you can't call it Frisco and you can't.
- 41:15Speaker 3: Call it hate Frisco Frisco.
- 41:17Speaker 1: Yeah, we said Sandfran when we're there, and they're like,
- 41:19Speaker 1: oh no, you got to call it San Francisco.
- 41:20Speaker 3: It's like some people here call it bris Vegas and we're
- 41:22Speaker 3: like yeah.
- 41:23Speaker 1: Even Brizzy Brisy on our radio, so she'd be like, hey,
- 41:27Speaker 1: what's going on, Brisy, and like no one says that. Yeah,
- 41:29Speaker 1: I hate you know what I say now when I'm
- 41:31Speaker 1: on air, well, iasionally say Brisy.
- 41:33Speaker 2: Oh I can hate myself, you know, I'd be slapping
- 41:35Speaker 2: myself when the La Canus was here earlier this year. Yeah,
- 41:39Speaker 2: I found myself having to take them outside of Brisbane.
- 41:41Speaker 2: So it's like I took them up to the Steve
- 41:42Speaker 2: Irwin Zoo. I do them to the Gold Coaster, Movie
- 41:44Speaker 2: World and Dreamwall and all those kind of things. But
- 41:46Speaker 2: there was one day where I forget what we were doing,
- 41:49Speaker 2: but we just walked along South Bank and they were amazed,
- 41:53Speaker 2: Like when they got to that creepy dodgy beach thing,
- 41:56Speaker 2: the artificial official beach that we have here.
- 41:58Speaker 3: They lost their king's over that. They were like, this
- 42:02Speaker 3: is the coolest thing other.
- 42:03Speaker 1: And I'm fair if anyone hasn't been to Brisbane, this
- 42:06Speaker 1: is mainly for you. If you have and you're familiar
- 42:07Speaker 1: with it, and I'm sorry, but like on a on
- 42:10Speaker 1: a really nice day, which to be fair, in Brisian Brisbane,
- 42:12Speaker 1: I said Brisbane. It sounds like I said, Brisban. In Brisbane,
- 42:15Speaker 1: we have more good days than we have.
- 42:17Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 42:17Speaker 1: Absolutely. If you're there standing in front of that artificial beach,
- 42:23Speaker 1: beyond that is the Brisbane River, the Brown Snake, a
- 42:26Speaker 1: giant river that just encompasses and cuts through like everything
- 42:29Speaker 1: in the Greater Brisbane region. You've got this artificial beach
- 42:33Speaker 1: in front of you, with lifeguards, with lifeguards, the full
- 42:37Speaker 1: like golden sand, all that sort of stuff, and probably
- 42:39Speaker 1: the you know, odd patch of kids you're in the water,
- 42:42Speaker 1: and a dodgy needle somewhere who knows.
- 42:43Speaker 3: I'm sure they keeping the band aid just floating.
- 42:46Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, And then you've got the river in front.
- 42:50Speaker 1: But beyond that, and then beyond that the other side
- 42:52Speaker 1: of the river is the city sky.
- 42:56Speaker 2: When you're in Central Park in New York and you
- 42:57Speaker 2: look over and you're in this you feel like you're
- 42:59Speaker 2: in the bush, and then suddenly there's just this skyline
- 43:01Speaker 2: of all these beautiful building.
- 43:03Speaker 1: And it looks amazing, right, And that's what that does.
- 43:04Speaker 1: At that at that beach, I'm like, this is a
- 43:06Speaker 1: beautiful picture right here. I'm like, I'm standing here on
- 43:09Speaker 1: the concrete next to an ice cream shop or a
- 43:10Speaker 1: tourism You get your little gifts and knickknacks and things.
- 43:15Speaker 1: I got this beach, then a river behind it, and
- 43:17Speaker 1: then the city. Like it's like, none of it. This
- 43:19Speaker 1: doesn't make sense in that order. That shouldn't be like,
- 43:21Speaker 1: so I get that I get that they would. I'm
- 43:24Speaker 1: just wondering what the ship Rona would actually give about
- 43:26Speaker 1: San Francisco about even though I do love them. I
- 43:30Speaker 1: love San Francisco.
- 43:31Speaker 2: It's a beautiful I supposed to go to Vancouver this
- 43:33Speaker 2: Christmas break, but that's not happening.
- 43:35Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I got to get it. I've gotta get
- 43:36Speaker 1: it to Candia. So yeah, like I want to say that, like, yeah,
- 43:41Speaker 1: he wouldn't have. I wonder if it would have been
- 43:42Speaker 1: like one of those like I went on a cruise
- 43:44Speaker 1: this year and we'd get to where do we go
- 43:46Speaker 1: to Vana Watu and New Caledonia, And there were people
- 43:50Speaker 1: that didn't even leave the boat. I'm like, why are
- 43:52Speaker 1: you on this trip? If you're coming on an international
- 43:55Speaker 1: to go to a beautiful tropical island and you don't
- 43:58Speaker 1: even leave the boat, that's me, that's me. I think
- 44:02Speaker 1: you told me that.
- 44:04Speaker 2: Last year I went on for my fortieth I went
- 44:06Speaker 2: on the Disney cruise and I forget where we stopped
- 44:09Speaker 2: on the it was like four day cruise. I forget
- 44:11Speaker 2: where we stopped on the first one, maybe Mexico maybe,
- 44:13Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 44:14Speaker 3: We didn't get off.
- 44:15Speaker 2: We got off at the next stop, which was Disney's
- 44:18Speaker 2: Private Island.
- 44:19Speaker 4: Ris did one well, except the person I was with
- 44:23Speaker 4: we went on on a Caribbean holiday and then went
- 44:27Speaker 4: to this fancy beach and they wouldn't get in the water,
- 44:30Speaker 4: and I was like, why would you come on a
- 44:32Speaker 4: on a Caribbean holiday if you don't like order?
- 44:35Speaker 1: It was weird.
- 44:36Speaker 3: It was a weird experience. So a couple of bits
- 44:38Speaker 3: of trivia that we need to run through just so
- 44:41Speaker 3: I don't get some angry DMS. One which I thought
- 44:45Speaker 3: was a nice little bookend, is Beckett. He was the
- 44:50Speaker 3: first person we saw in an ancient chair in Rising
- 44:54Speaker 3: in the first episode. Oh yeah, he's the last person
- 44:57Speaker 3: in this.
- 44:57Speaker 1: Episode that that's kind of fun.
- 44:59Speaker 2: Different chair because of it's the Atlanta different good call way.
- 45:04Speaker 2: Well done, well done. The Uber Hive for lack of
- 45:07Speaker 2: a bit is the now. I haven't done the math
- 45:10Speaker 2: on this. I'm just I'm just accepting that the Internet
- 45:13Speaker 2: is being truthful. This is the twenty ninth Hive ship
- 45:16Speaker 2: that we've seen destroyed since the series began.
- 45:19Speaker 1: Well, yeah, there was that that period at one stage
- 45:21Speaker 1: where we had a whole ton of them, right, so
- 45:24Speaker 1: we counting. I guess those giant maps that we saw.
- 45:26Speaker 1: It was just like a light that just disappeared, as
- 45:28Speaker 1: like there's a IP ship. There's a IIPES ship disappearing.
- 45:30Speaker 2: You know, they went they ancients with us. Sorry, I'm
- 45:32Speaker 2: not ancients replicators with their replicator ships.
- 45:35Speaker 1: I though they were like both. But maybe no, you're right,
- 45:38Speaker 1: maybe let's not pretend I know now.
- 45:42Speaker 2: Something we didn't mention obviously was the appearance of Major Davis,
- 45:45Speaker 2: which was very exciting for me because I love Major Davis.
- 45:47Speaker 2: I still maintain he should have replaced Daniel Jackson instead
- 45:49Speaker 2: of Jonas, even though I love Jonas more so now
- 45:52Speaker 2: than I.
- 45:53Speaker 3: Did back at the time.
- 45:54Speaker 1: I've forgotten that you'd suggested that that is that is
- 45:56Speaker 1: a that's a fun idea. I mean, I wouldn't have
- 46:00Speaker 1: not that I enjoyed seeing Jonas. It's like in hindsight
- 46:03Speaker 1: knowing what became of Jonas and how he was treated. Yeah,
- 46:06Speaker 1: and a big shout out to Currentemic because he is
- 46:08Speaker 1: the wrap up of every single episode of our podcast broadly,
- 46:11Speaker 1: so absolutely, and.
- 46:13Speaker 3: Of all the Stargate podcasts. We are the Jonas with
- 46:16Speaker 3: the US.
- 46:17Speaker 2: Yeah, but obviously we've got Major Davis, but we also
- 46:20Speaker 2: got Walter, which was great with a little bit of Walter,
- 46:23Speaker 2: which which leads into the fun bit of trivia. So Carter,
- 46:28Speaker 2: Walter and Major Marx, of all people, are the only
- 46:33Speaker 2: characters to appear in Unending and Enemy at the Gate.
- 46:37Speaker 1: Wow.
- 46:38Speaker 2: Now, if anyone who doesn't know who Major Mars is,
- 46:40Speaker 2: he is the guy that's always in the in the
- 46:43Speaker 2: other seat on any of the three or fours Dedalus.
- 46:47Speaker 2: He's always the guy they've got major marks. Make that
- 46:49Speaker 2: ship go away, make it gone. Yeah, this was another
- 46:54Speaker 2: extended episode according to the DVD.
- 46:56Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, that's how I watched it. I was
- 46:58Speaker 1: in the divodis.
- 47:00Speaker 3: Forty three minutes fifty five seconds. Doesn't feel just like
- 47:03Speaker 3: what an extra minutte?
- 47:04Speaker 1: Okay, maybe we don't know.
- 47:06Speaker 3: What no, no idea.
- 47:08Speaker 2: I think maybe there was some talk around the scene
- 47:11Speaker 2: you referenced earlier about Wolsey checking in with Taylor and
- 47:16Speaker 2: Ronan about if they wanted to cut a lot. Apparently
- 47:18Speaker 2: the fan was like, that's a really weird sort of
- 47:20Speaker 2: scene to put in there, and I think maybe there
- 47:22Speaker 2: was talk that, yeah, that would have been the first
- 47:24Speaker 2: scene too.
- 47:25Speaker 1: Fair enough. I could see what would have been cut,
- 47:26Speaker 1: But I actually liked that it was there.
- 47:27Speaker 3: Yeah, me too.
- 47:28Speaker 2: Yeah, it did give it a sense of finality and
- 47:32Speaker 2: it's like, yeah, we might not be coming back, but yeah,
- 47:34Speaker 2: I did like that, and that tied with Roan at
- 47:37Speaker 2: the end when he's in the hospital bed and Shepherd
- 47:40Speaker 2: is like, oh, we'll get your home soon. He's like,
- 47:41Speaker 2: I'm home. Yeah, that's nice. That's nice for those keeping
- 47:45Speaker 2: count I'm not. But he's been pissing me off this season,
- 47:47Speaker 2: so I just wanted to point out this is yet
- 47:49Speaker 2: another scenario where Shepherd has tried to do a suicide mission.
- 47:53Speaker 1: With a nuke.
- 47:54Speaker 3: Yeah, he did it at the end of season one.
- 47:56Speaker 2: I felt it was a couple more times he's just
- 47:58Speaker 2: decided to make a suicide.
- 48:01Speaker 3: Man necessary.
- 48:03Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe he's the one that should have done like
- 48:05Speaker 2: a sacrifice play instead of Ronan, and he finally finally
- 48:09Speaker 2: just got to just edge himself completely and knew himself
- 48:13Speaker 2: to pieces just to save everybody who knows. Maybe maybe
- 48:16Speaker 2: in the same way we talked about Hammond back in
- 48:18Speaker 2: the day, used to just you know, just rub one out,
- 48:20Speaker 2: just trying.
- 48:20Speaker 1: To beat the.
- 48:23Speaker 3: Wildfire or the or the or the countdown.
- 48:26Speaker 2: John's just in the in the puddle dropper by himself,
- 48:28Speaker 2: just beating himself furiously, just just time it, just trying
- 48:31Speaker 2: to time it right to the moment before the nuke
- 48:33Speaker 2: goes off.
- 48:34Speaker 3: Who knows.
- 48:35Speaker 2: And then Todd Todd was a weird one for me.
- 48:39Speaker 2: So he's back to normal in this episode after what
- 48:42Speaker 2: two episodes ago, being like, Oh, he's got to go
- 48:44Speaker 2: and do it really dangerous thing where he's going to
- 48:45Speaker 2: go on mind meld with the with the arrageous bug
- 48:48Speaker 2: queen or whatever and have sex with her or whatever
- 48:50Speaker 2: to get back.
- 48:51Speaker 3: And now he's just back to normal. He's like, yet
- 48:53Speaker 3: be worked, I'm good, I'm fine.
- 48:55Speaker 2: And then the kind of Diosex macin of oh and
- 48:58Speaker 2: by the way, here's two more fully charged these edpms
- 49:03Speaker 2: that I've had for over a year at this point,
- 49:05Speaker 2: and I'm like.
- 49:07Speaker 3: Men did imagine it?
- 49:08Speaker 2: And I was just like and again this was my
- 49:10Speaker 2: criticism of be almost sins Remembered, is like, why didn't we,
- 49:14Speaker 2: as Atlantis people, earthling people, with all our resource, why
- 49:17Speaker 2: weren't we and we were down on the surface, like
- 49:19Speaker 2: Rodney and Ronan were down on the surface, why didn't
- 49:22Speaker 2: we try and collect some zspms?
- 49:24Speaker 3: I understand from a writing point of view that made
- 49:26Speaker 3: things too easy.
- 49:27Speaker 2: And I do remember someone, maybe on Patreon or maybe
- 49:29Speaker 2: in the discord, saying, oh, maybe Earth didn't view them
- 49:33Speaker 2: as real zz edpms because they were created by the
- 49:37Speaker 2: replicated instead of the ancients. Maybe good enough of this episode,
- 49:41Speaker 2: and now we've got three. So I was like, that's
- 49:43Speaker 2: a bit weird. But what I thought was kind of
- 49:47Speaker 2: poetic is Todd's final line in the series kind of
- 49:53Speaker 2: wraps up the series in an interesting way.
- 49:55Speaker 1: It's all as well, your home world was saved, you
- 49:58Speaker 1: and your friends revived, and all thanks to my zero
- 50:02Speaker 1: point module.
- 50:04Speaker 2: That's right.
- 50:05Speaker 3: Question is what would happen next time?
- 50:07Speaker 1: Is there going to be next time? Oh? Well, yeah, no,
- 50:16Speaker 1: that was it.
- 50:17Speaker 3: That was how they wrapped up the Todd storyline as well.
- 50:19Speaker 2: Yeah, because if you think about it, then they go
- 50:21Speaker 2: out onto the balcony and Todd still being held prisoner
- 50:25Speaker 2: in Atlantis essentially so, but yeah, I just find it
- 50:29Speaker 2: interesting that that was his last line and then there
- 50:32Speaker 2: wasn't a next time.
- 50:33Speaker 1: Oh well, yeah, Like I don't know. I think maybe
- 50:39Speaker 1: because I'm so used to the idea that this is
- 50:41Speaker 1: as far as it went. I don't feel completely dissatisfied. Like,
- 50:46Speaker 1: I don't feel like there's so much left on the
- 50:48Speaker 1: table outside of like, well S g One got ten seasons,
- 50:51Speaker 1: or if we were going to break it down, it
- 50:53Speaker 1: got eight seasons and then two like epilogues or something.
- 50:57Speaker 3: Yeah, it's interesting.
- 50:58Speaker 2: I kind of think about it as if we just
- 51:01Speaker 2: got unending and we never got the Arc of Truth.
- 51:05Speaker 2: I feel like we would still be satisfied in terms
- 51:07Speaker 2: of ye, like we said, they're still going doing all
- 51:10Speaker 2: their offield missions. They're still you know, doing all those things.
- 51:12Speaker 2: It wasn't a finite ending. So I kind of feel
- 51:16Speaker 2: that same way about Enemy at the Gate, is that
- 51:21Speaker 2: it's a satisfactory ending for the episode and feels poignant,
- 51:25Speaker 2: but we know it's not the end of the story
- 51:27Speaker 2: for all of these people, and they're still going in
- 51:30Speaker 2: the you know, in the Stargate universe pun intended.
- 51:34Speaker 3: Yeah, So it's interesting.
- 51:35Speaker 2: There is a part of me that goes, would I
- 51:38Speaker 2: if I had the option to go back in time,
- 51:40Speaker 2: And it's like, okay, well, instead of us getting Continuum,
- 51:43Speaker 2: what if they did Arc of Truth and then did
- 51:48Speaker 2: the Atlantis movie and we got those two movies to
- 51:51Speaker 2: finish up the season.
- 51:52Speaker 3: But then it's like but then we never would have
- 51:53Speaker 3: got Continuum.
- 51:54Speaker 2: And I really like Continuum, and it's like, ah, and
- 51:57Speaker 2: if Continuum couldn't guarantee them enough to get the third
- 52:01Speaker 2: movie to finish off.
- 52:02Speaker 3: Atlantis, what would have you know what I mean? Continuing
- 52:05Speaker 3: was pretty damn good.
- 52:06Speaker 1: Yeah, So just to that being like the last taste
- 52:09Speaker 1: of sgu one in your mouth was Gould related, right,
- 52:13Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of great stuff in there
- 52:15Speaker 1: with with the ari and the idea of it, the
- 52:18Speaker 1: concepts that maybe they were hoping for that season eleven
- 52:21Speaker 1: or something like that, and they had big plans and
- 52:24Speaker 1: that it was itself the show was going to be
- 52:26Speaker 1: unending in a way, but I don't know, just it'd
- 52:31Speaker 1: never quite got off the ground the way that they
- 52:33Speaker 1: were hoping because of that, the deadline of the cancelation
- 52:36Speaker 1: or whatever. But then to get your Continuum as your
- 52:38Speaker 1: last taste, you're like, oh, well that's good, okay, Google,
- 52:40Speaker 1: let's go out on that. Whereas yeah, this, it's like okay, yeah, fine,
- 52:43Speaker 1: I didn't think about it like that that. It's like
- 52:46Speaker 1: that could have been their movie, could have been an
- 52:48Speaker 1: Arc of Truth where it's like oh okay, cool. Yeah,
- 52:50Speaker 1: It's like kind of what we've already got, but just bigger,
- 52:53Speaker 1: better or something. So I'm not completely let down by
- 52:58Speaker 1: this being a finale. I'm just and I listened back
- 53:02Speaker 1: to and editing the podcast last three four or five episodes.
- 53:05Speaker 1: I was growing ever so concerned that we were heading
- 53:09Speaker 1: into a knowing what you guys had said about the
- 53:12Speaker 1: fact that, hey, they really wanted this movie. Joe Flanagan
- 53:14Speaker 1: was going to buy the rights to it so they
- 53:16Speaker 1: could produce it in some form, in some medium. The
- 53:19Speaker 1: story of that movie that we're heading into a cliffhanger.
- 53:24Speaker 1: And I was already disappointed and let down and sad
- 53:28Speaker 1: because of that. And that's not what happened. We don't
- 53:31Speaker 1: get a cliffhanger. We're on Earth. That to me is
- 53:33Speaker 1: not a cliffhanger. They just yep, fire in a you know.
- 53:37Speaker 3: M and has got three.
- 53:41Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, just just just plug it in and we're
- 53:45Speaker 1: sweet and even though the raithness of it all yep, fine, cool,
- 53:50Speaker 1: like in the ends, you know, the the overall storyline
- 53:54Speaker 1: of this series has not been to protect Earth from
- 53:56Speaker 1: the Wraith, but it has been a threat that's like
- 53:59Speaker 1: pop self up ever so slightly before this was just
- 54:02Speaker 1: like a big one and then we've ended that threats
- 54:06Speaker 1: and yeah, we never get another episode. Okay, that's the
- 54:09Speaker 1: world we're in. If we get another entire season.
- 54:11Speaker 3: Cool.
- 54:12Speaker 1: This doesn't feel like this doesn't feel hardly enough what
- 54:15Speaker 1: we're talking about before. This doesn't feel like the Toy
- 54:17Speaker 1: story three that if we were going to get season six,
- 54:19Speaker 1: we would have been like, oh really you're going back
- 54:21Speaker 1: to that. Well, it would have just felt like a
- 54:23Speaker 1: season five finale that just happened to have a big finish.
- 54:27Speaker 1: I don't think. I don't think SG one should have
- 54:30Speaker 1: wrapped up with Daniel dying in season five. I'm glad
- 54:32Speaker 1: they kept going. It just felt like, again like we
- 54:34Speaker 1: were talking about before, a big character dying that just
- 54:38Speaker 1: didn't last either.
- 54:39Speaker 2: Anyway, because also the idea that Daniel dying means there's
- 54:43Speaker 2: no more stories to tell puts too much emphasis on
- 54:45Speaker 2: the Daniel character. Yeah, gotcha, you know what I mean, Like,
- 54:47Speaker 2: it's just like, oh, well, no, of course they're still
- 54:48Speaker 2: gonna be out there fighting with the Gowald and doing
- 54:50Speaker 2: all those things. So yeah, I guess because we didn't
- 54:54Speaker 2: get the finality in this in the same way we
- 54:56Speaker 2: did with the gol world and even the Orri. I
- 54:59Speaker 2: kind of I think retroactively, I've always looked at the
- 55:02Speaker 2: Wraith as almost like a natural phenomenon, like you know,
- 55:09Speaker 2: you can prepare yourself for that storm on the horizon,
- 55:12Speaker 2: but you're not actively trying to stop it, like it's
- 55:15Speaker 2: always going to keep coming, like there's always going to
- 55:17Speaker 2: be bad weather or whatever. So I kind of look
- 55:19Speaker 2: at the Wraith that way, and that it's it's part
- 55:22Speaker 2: of the circle of life in Atlantis when it comes
- 55:24Speaker 2: to that kind of thing, like the gould were doing
- 55:26Speaker 2: it for vanity, they were doing it to rule, and
- 55:29Speaker 2: they wanted hot posts and all that kind of stuff,
- 55:32Speaker 2: whereas the Wraith we are we're as a food source.
- 55:36Speaker 2: And it's like, so, yeah, well, if the Wraith suddenly
- 55:39Speaker 2: ceased to exist, what.
- 55:42Speaker 3: Kind of repercussions does that have? You know that on
- 55:46Speaker 3: the Pegasus galaxy.
- 55:47Speaker 2: Obviously it's good that you know, there's not these regular
- 55:49Speaker 2: cuttings and all that kind of situation. But yeah, I
- 55:53Speaker 2: don't know that the finale, like say they managed to
- 55:57Speaker 2: eradicate the Wraith, I don't know if that's a satisfying
- 56:00Speaker 2: because we've spent so much time trying to find a
- 56:02Speaker 2: way for them to not have to feed, to coexist
- 56:04Speaker 2: all that kind of stuff. The thing from a couple
- 56:06Speaker 2: of weeks ago where Todd was like, well, without the
- 56:09Speaker 2: need to feed, what are we basically as a culture?
- 56:11Speaker 1: What are we?
- 56:12Speaker 2: You know? So, I mean, I would like to think
- 56:15Speaker 2: that the living conditions in the pegasas Galaxy are better
- 56:19Speaker 2: for the average you know, ethosion or Jeni or whatever
- 56:22Speaker 2: it may be. And obviously, you know, there's only a
- 56:24Speaker 2: couple of episodes ago we got the revelation that's like, oh, well,
- 56:27Speaker 2: now some of these planets are starting to you know,
- 56:29Speaker 2: group together and form their own governments and all that
- 56:32Speaker 2: kind of stuff. Yeah, maybe we'd like to see a
- 56:34Speaker 2: little bit a little bit more of that, but yeah,
- 56:36Speaker 2: hopefully maybe something in the rebit at least we even
- 56:38Speaker 2: get just some some lines of dialogue. Yeah, they're just
- 56:41Speaker 2: and surely with Giro, given that Giro did really work
- 56:44Speaker 2: on SG one. I think he wrote a couple of episodes,
- 56:47Speaker 2: but he's an SGA guy. Yeah, that was the show
- 56:49Speaker 2: that he came in on, that was where he spent
- 56:50Speaker 2: most of his time. I'm hoping that he will at
- 56:53Speaker 2: least be able to include a few bits and pieces
- 56:55Speaker 2: and maybe he wants a little bit of that closure
- 56:57Speaker 2: as well.
- 56:57Speaker 1: Yeah, definitely, Oh yeah, it's at least going to be
- 57:00Speaker 1: passing reference in there in there somewhere for sure. So
- 57:03Speaker 1: that's what I'm looking forward to. The you know, I
- 57:05Speaker 1: don't I mean again just I mean, we've spoken about
- 57:10Speaker 1: it many times throughout the podcast, the idea of them
- 57:14Speaker 1: doing a starg at Command type series, and I've thrown around, well, yeah,
- 57:19Speaker 1: don't even focus on one team, And okay, for television,
- 57:23Speaker 1: you probably want for that audience retention, you want it
- 57:25Speaker 1: to be about a certain group of characters. But we
- 57:27Speaker 1: can focus in different or just utilize the world building
- 57:30Speaker 1: that's already been done fifteen, twenty, twenty five years ago whatever,
- 57:33Speaker 1: And have you know the SGC on Earth and have
- 57:37Speaker 1: the base in Atlantis, and then have you know different
- 57:39Speaker 1: Alpha sites out there, and you know whether or not
- 57:41Speaker 1: there's a third galaxy that's got something on and don't
- 57:44Speaker 1: look at me if there's something to do with that
- 57:45Speaker 1: in a universe, I have no idea. Not looking at you,
- 57:48Speaker 1: not looking at you, but moving on. You know that
- 57:51Speaker 1: we could utilize all of that and for the idea
- 57:54Speaker 1: that we could get a brand new show from a
- 58:00Speaker 1: lead creative of Stargate Atlantis and not get some even
- 58:05Speaker 1: just offhanded reference through dialogue of what not even what
- 58:10Speaker 1: became of it, but just what's what it's doing now? Like, yeah,
- 58:13Speaker 1: it's back in the Pegasus sclexy, it's back on. Maybe
- 58:16Speaker 1: it went back to its original planet. Maybe they found
- 58:18Speaker 1: a way. They're back in the original planet from the
- 58:21Speaker 1: first three seasons.
- 58:22Speaker 3: And nice because we never got any resolution to.
- 58:26Speaker 2: That that skybeam and now that the what do you
- 58:30Speaker 2: call them replicators have been destroyed. Yeah, you would assume
- 58:33Speaker 2: there's no power that thing.
- 58:35Speaker 1: So the bloody Flag of sallus a break from being.
- 58:37Speaker 2: Oh the flag salaces the Flaggers Salas, back to the
- 58:42Speaker 2: fragiic Salas.
- 58:46Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll be assuming that beam didn't just like cut
- 58:48Speaker 3: through the entire planet and planets lit in half like
- 58:52Speaker 3: you did that asteroid.
- 58:53Speaker 2: But yeah, because otherwise in ten thousand years, when the
- 58:55Speaker 2: next what do they call it coronal massage actually comes through.
- 58:59Speaker 1: The flatger Salas did, we don't want that.
- 59:01Speaker 3: Think of the Flag of Sallas, got.
- 59:03Speaker 1: Somebody, think of the Flagers Alas. What's the deal?
- 59:08Speaker 3: You know, win friends with Fledge of Sallas.
- 59:10Speaker 1: You know, bloody hell s g a, mate, that's it.
- 59:14Speaker 3: We're done.
- 59:15Speaker 1: Then, Oh my god.
- 59:16Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, well hey, hey, hey, and look we went
- 59:19Speaker 2: this entire episode without making a really bad dad joke
- 59:22Speaker 2: pun about the fact that it's called Enemy of the Gate.
- 59:25Speaker 3: And then the last shot was of the Golden Gate Bridge.
- 59:29Speaker 1: I remember the enemy. I just thought about Emmy at
- 59:33Speaker 1: the Gate being I mean, I know it's a it's
- 59:35Speaker 1: a term and stuff that my thought goes, bet, there's
- 59:37Speaker 1: a great war film, the Jude Law.
- 59:41Speaker 3: That great Will Smith film, Enemy of the State.
- 59:44Speaker 1: Oh, what a movie.
- 59:45Speaker 3: I haven't seen that in a long great show. I
- 59:47Speaker 3: do remember enjoying that.
- 59:48Speaker 1: Yeah, that was my favorite movie for a long time.
- 59:51Speaker 1: That came out when us twelve, so that the Symbers.
- 59:52Speaker 1: I like the idea of like government conspiracies when you're twelve,
