Transcript
- 0:01Books, Brendan, I can't help notice something. Yeah, I'm wearing a
- 0:08shirt. It looks amazing. It's kind of not how I wanted it to
- 0:12turn out anyway. Was just like a home This is a home job.
- 0:16No, like, what do you mean? Said? I just like you
- 0:19designed her. This is a sample from a T shirt company like to sell
- 0:23merch for us, but I think I like the other shirt better. I
- 0:28think to sell that, we need to like get it maybe probably three times
- 0:31smaller, cut the sleeves off and make link and wear it because he loves
- 0:35he loves the cutoff tight. I kind of stuff. I put two yellows,
- 0:41which doesn't come out very well. It looks good on like photoshop.
- 0:46Oh yeah, if I wish, i'd ha kind of made it black in
- 0:49the center and glowing out. I gotta be black. This is just a
- 0:52sample, but I don't I like the hat though the hat, the hat
- 0:56works. I'll stop it. Yes he did, No, you did not,
- 1:03My God to make Stargate great again. It's going to be great.
- 1:08All of our American listeners, please buy out big, buy it big,
- 1:12and take them to your voting booths and all your rallies. Okay, especially
- 1:18if you go on to a left wing rally, wear that because it's going
- 1:21to confuse people from a far and then they're going to come at you with
- 1:23like, you know, Babylon shit or do you read mate? It says
- 1:27make Stargate great again, and then you'll make a new friend someone who also
- 1:32loves Stargate. I want to hate it, but I can't. Yeah.
- 1:36I actually thought it was a great idea, and then I started wearing it
- 1:38and I'm like, I feel weird. Yeah, you're like people looking at
- 1:42me. I mean I didn't wear it out. Actually I drove, like
- 1:47just through Brisbane City the other day. I drove past this bloke who was
- 1:52like a flag or something something that was waving the wind of a flag,
- 1:55but it was something separate to his body. Wasn't wearing a hat or a
- 1:57shirt, and it was like it was green and it was like, you
- 2:00know, Trump twenty twenty or Trump twenty twenty four. I feel like maybe
- 2:05it was twenty twenty, Like it wasn't relevant on so many ways, and
- 2:07it was green. It wasn't even wed anyways. It was like he went
- 2:09out of his way to make something and now he's wearing it in Australia where
- 2:15it means nothing. It's just like you know, and people have stickers and
- 2:19stuff. But all I'm saying American listeners, it's not just because well you
- 2:23get to support the show. Just support Stargate. I mean at this stage,
- 2:25you know it's just controversial. Just makes target provocative. I mean in
- 2:30conversations, we all know question. We all know of any character in the
- 2:35Stargate universe that would have worn to make America great again? Would have been
- 2:38Kinsyndred percent. Oh, he probably designed the hat. Fortrun. You know
- 2:43who designed this hat, Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. There is
- 2:46only one guard, sir, that's Donald Trump. Oh, we're going to
- 2:53need more of those stats. Actually, on I say home job, and
- 2:57that's only because I've I've got to I've got to make something. I give
- 3:01myself a home. It's going to be a shirt, and I've got a
- 3:06sneaky feeling. It's not going to be ready next week, but I'll debut
- 3:08it in two weeks. Let's make it because it's an SG one special or
- 3:13something. But I've got I've got something. It's a very exclusive piece.
- 3:16Obviously it's because I'm making one myself but I think if anyone was gonna put
- 3:21it into production it would It's it's very niche. Well, no, that's
- 3:23a tease. If you do want one of these glorious red caps and writing
- 3:30on it which says make Stea great again, don't google red hat with white
- 3:35writing. It's going to take you a different website. Yeah, yeah,
- 3:38let us know, and then we'll make it available. About that, it's
- 3:42just I'm just like your eyes. Do you know what would be even more
- 3:46like gorilla marketing is given that Amazon Prime owned Stargate, it's make Amazon great
- 3:53again? Great? But then the A B this is the point of origin,
- 3:58Yes, because that would even look more like America. Yeah, Bezos
- 4:01is just looking down from his tower. I just sees the hat and just
- 4:04gives a slow nod and like or just a red dot just appears on their
- 4:08forehead. Oh okay, we're dead. He's not making money from that.
- 4:13Yeah. Get into Gate episode two hundred and fifty three to can startget SG
- 4:38one the Gate teams. Here. My name is Mitch. Over to my
- 4:42left Brendan. Good to be here, Mitch in front of Brendan. But
- 4:46to my right is Maddie. I'm just trying to paint a visual to the
- 4:48picture. He tried not to look directly at Brandon at the hat. I
- 4:51won't wear it the whole episode, but it's just please do. I had
- 4:57a dream about wearing it, which is weird. And then someone was like,
- 5:00you know, like you know, there's like a maga han on.
- 5:01Yeah that's the joke. But yeah, I don't know. He needs needs
- 5:08When you think you've got a hot cousin and then you you're like, that
- 5:13shouldn't have Yeah, like the memories of my cousin wasn't even hot. My
- 5:19cousins are Tasmanian, so that makes sense. Yeah, they didn't see anything
- 5:24wrong with her. Yeah, nothing wrong for one of his. It needs
- 5:27it needs the point of origin on the back, and then we can wear
- 5:29it backwards backwards. Yeah, nice origin, that would be nice. Oh
- 5:34sorry, you can yours can? Mine can be the pyramid. Yours can
- 5:38be the circle with the line under it. Yes, yeah, I thought
- 5:43you meant the Illuminati one right. Episode fourteen of season ten of SG Won
- 5:49the Shroud, when Daniel Jackson, Oh, Michael Shanks, they've done it
- 5:54again, turns up as a prior asking SG one to aid him in a
- 5:58plan that might very well be a rap. It's up to Colonel Jack O'Neill
- 6:02and the team to not only save Jackson's life, but possibly end of the
- 6:05war with the alri once and for all. Don't don't don't Indeed that opening
- 6:14scene did that? Did that set look familiar to what I mean? I
- 6:18watched this week's episode back to back with last week's episode of My What Village?
- 6:23You might well, there's so many villages. I don't know us whatever
- 6:28the cal I feel like even the writing gave us a little bit. There's
- 6:31a there's a little there's a little in joke there. I reckond this is
- 6:34what I picked up. But we've seen a number of villages just like this
- 6:38one wipe down number of villains just like just like this, just like it,
- 6:45just like it. Wow, even even Cooper shitting on it now too.
- 6:49It was it. We we talked about this scene because it was yet
- 6:53again we're in the same village that we really weren't much we could do to
- 6:58change it up, but you know, budget wise, and so we we
- 7:00made a conscious decision to not shoot wide shots. Not really we could tell
- 7:06play the village for the village, but rather just as a sort of background
- 7:11texture and make it more about the you know, the faces and the people,
- 7:15which I didn't really do. And it was well the temptation, but
- 7:18yeah, he used mostly you know, long lensy kind of stuff, was
- 7:23full of full of people and not really focused on the on the on the
- 7:27set, and I thought it was sort of a stroke of genius to change
- 7:31the color of the daylight to Yeah, it seems though it was a different
- 7:36place, you know what. I really when I drive my past my house
- 7:41during the day, I recognize it, and then when I drive past it
- 7:43at dusk, I'm like, whose house is that? It's like ULARU they
- 7:47reckon it changes colors like you wouldn't need. Yeah, obviously it was a
- 7:55red one this morning. No, it's purple because the sun. Now I
- 7:58want the red one. Let's keep driving until we reached the regular I don't
- 8:01want the purple one. That's too much like an LGBT color. So I
- 8:05came into I wasn't focusing on the credits until it said teleplay by Robert C.
- 8:11Cooper Did he did? He was story about Brad him and Brad.
- 8:18Yeah, well co co we we talked about this, this this basic concept
- 8:26of Daniel becoming a prior was was Brad's idea. That's the story. He's
- 8:33co story by credit. This way before the beginning of the season, we
- 8:39were when we were just sort of talking about the arc, Brad was Brad
- 8:46said, hey, why we should really make make someone a prior at some
- 8:48point, we should really make Daniel and it was it was actually going to
- 8:54be a longer, a bit of a longer, a longer arc. But
- 8:58he's really selling it. The fact is that that the back half of of
- 9:05of the season really kind of got condensed. When I wrote this episode,
- 9:11I still didn't know that that this this would be one of the last episodes
- 9:16of this of the series. But but why not, you know, we
- 9:20just felt that, yeah, someone's been all the budget we need to get
- 9:24We needed to get going, We needed to get going on the story.
- 9:28And season and a half we didn't even go which episode could have easily been
- 9:33a two parter, but should Michael, Michael would not have been happy wearing
- 9:37that for two parts. Yeah, Michael's Michael's the reason you didn't write that
- 9:43does too much? Michael of the Thespian, I mean, just listen to
- 9:48me. Yeah, just listen to the lack of passion when it's not him
- 9:52directing the episode or talking about an episode that he came up with the ideas
- 9:56for, Like he wrote the you know, the teleplay, but it was
- 10:00story. I came up with the idea. But that's why you got a
- 10:05cold. So any way, when I wrote the scripts, which really is
- 10:09where all the ideas take life, I mean, any guy can come up
- 10:11with a plan, I was hold like that was a minute twenty one.
- 10:16He felt like minutes like he just doesn't give a ship and it's just like
- 10:22you go back to like Satita or something where he's like, I'm basically standing
- 10:26like I don't know. People were just thinking it was amazing. Feel this
- 10:31is the best part. I'm gonna play a little bit here. Now imagine
- 10:35this played back to back. Yeah, with anything from Satita, well,
- 10:39I generally expect mediocrity, So so anytime I get anything more than that,
- 10:46it was a wonderful pleasant Yeah. I'm from myself as well. I have
- 10:50you know, I set the barlow and and generally failed to achieve. I'm
- 10:56very humble, except when you compare it to Apocalypse Now. Yeah, Yeah,
- 11:01Stanley Kubrick, he sacrificed one of his senses for the for the art.
- 11:07Yeah, he's an artist. Yeah. I said the bar pretty low
- 11:11so that when people go Setina was amazing. He's like, yeah, but
- 11:13I mean that's that's you know, that's with that first amendment. Oh,
- 11:20that was the low bar that you said. Great, great, great.
- 11:24Last week I was saying that the Richard kind obviously was was pre credits,
- 11:31but then during it spoiled the Collier revealed that Robert Darby was in it.
- 11:35This I didn't read the credits at all, and so when Jack is just
- 11:41sitting there next to laundry, I was like, yeah, that one's the
- 11:46most obvious credit. I avoid reading credits. Well, but that one's like
- 11:52Richard Dean and as well. Yeah, as we've learned through just even this
- 11:56podcast, with this show is trying not to because it's going totten. Not
- 12:00that every episode's got cameos or anything, but last week I think of I
- 12:03think of season six when Daniel wasn't there to send it. Daniel showed up
- 12:07and they spoiled it in the opening. Yeah. Yeah, and I think
- 12:09last week had I have went, oh, Richard Kines back, Okay,
- 12:13well he's going to be the only interesting a secondary in a what am I
- 12:20saying? Guest on the on the show and then Robert Derby pops up as
- 12:24an and god damn it. Whereas this one, Yeah, like it would
- 12:26have been very obvious because we didn't know to expect anything prior to that happening.
- 12:31But thank god I was not looking at the screen or just not reading
- 12:35the credits, depending what was going on. Sometimes it helps. Yeah,
- 12:39mate, I'm trying to do the right thing by the bloody show, so
- 12:43I can actually watch the episode as Robert C. Cooper intended and get the
- 12:46surprises that he wrote for me. How annoying was doctor Weir in this episode?
- 12:56Yeah, disrespect. If you want to save time, I can just
- 13:03get out as a SoundBite and you just point to me anyhow ridiculous, ridiculous?
- 13:13And here I was. I bought all these tuber gifts for you from
- 13:16the from the audio commentary, how dare you he did this for you?
- 13:20Yeah? I sat through a rob at Cooper commentary. Yeah, I mean
- 13:24I didn't ask you to, but I appreciate that last one. But that
- 13:26was also the long one. There was a minute twenty Yeah, and that's
- 13:28there's a forty two minute episode. You said through forty there's another one minute,
- 13:33twenty autiograph. Remember a couple of weeks ago when I apologized ringing like
- 13:35twenty pieces of the audio and I said I'd never number eighteen. Yeah,
- 13:39Remember I said I'd never do that again. I by the time I finished
- 13:43watching this episode the first time, I had four pieces of audio. I
- 13:46wait, fantastic. Then I turned over the auto commentary was Cooper, and
- 13:48now I've got twelve pieces of audio. I we appreciate it. We do.
- 13:52Yeah, I appreciate it. Now we'll talk about Weir next week.
- 13:56Yes, big time. I The question I had written down here specifically for
- 14:01Brendan is obviously about your favorite character, Andrea. There's the moment where Daniel
- 14:09and Adrea kiss and he gets turned into a prior. Do you reckon they?
- 14:16I don't know why she would have turned him into a privy then him,
- 14:22because I was like, oh, they've they've definitely if they're cut away
- 14:24here when they're kissing, they've definitely banged. But then she turned into a
- 14:28prior. I'm like, what do you want to bang an old? Do
- 14:30you reckon maybe your daddy issues? I'm not going to Dick as well,
- 14:35like the weird the weird thing ribbed for her pleasure. His pubes would have
- 14:39been white like his eyelashes. Oh no, Daniel probably waxes like just from
- 14:43like the neck down, Dan does I reckon he's hairless. I reckon,
- 14:46Daniel's just hairless. We've seen him, especially Shanksy's. Do they add like
- 14:52a second eyelid because he's like right right, like a brown. So what
- 14:56I'm saying is if he circumcised, is when he becomes a like you know,
- 15:03he gets rehooded. When Merlin leaves, he gets free. Yeah.
- 15:07Back to however he was yeah, yeah, So apparently Shanksy, much like
- 15:11Andrea Shanksy, had issues with the prior contacts. So while he was in
- 15:16the chair on the on the Odyssey and they were kind of shooting down where
- 15:20you couldn't quite they were intentionally doing it so he didn't have to wear the
- 15:24contacts all the time, and they were kind of shooting like the light was
- 15:28coming down from the top that's where he's frowning so much, Yeah, to
- 15:31create the shadow over his eyes, So he didn't have to wear the contacts
- 15:35in that. If that was a prosthetic Yeah, it kind of looked almost
- 15:37like a caveman brower kind of thing. Yeah. I just think making the
- 15:41eyelashes white was a mistake, especially when you're gonna shine that much light on
- 15:45it. The eyelashes to me just looked like chalky and crusty and and not
- 15:48good. Yeah, he got to kip his hair though it did remind me
- 15:54of Michello when he was jumped into Merlin for a second. But yeah,
- 16:00that was I just didn't understand why, well he didn't wils I'm saying,
- 16:07I reckon. Surely, surely Andrew has just been another priors just for like,
- 16:11what else has she got to do? Where is she a virgin?
- 16:15Well, I mean, if you're gonna lose your video to anybody, it's
- 16:18gonna be Michael Shanks, right, And then he's got the set, he's
- 16:21got the mother and daughter. He's gone for Missus Robinson. That's what I
- 16:22was wondering if when they cut back to Daniel telling the story, was like
- 16:29going to be offended and is it one of those like fight Club unreliable narrator
- 16:33things where Daniel tells the story that they just kissed, but he was peging
- 16:40it up because Varla was in the room and they actually kissed me. YadA
- 16:45YadA, YadA YadA. There was a big flashing white lights and I was
- 16:49the prior. She's only four months old. It's sick. No matter what
- 16:56planet system you're in, there is and I'll get it. That's one for
- 17:00this. That's fine. But the premise in like the first episode of Star
- 17:03Trek Voyage is you meet two aliens and one of them she's a fully grown
- 17:07woman. She's like being played like a nineteen year old girl. She's dating
- 17:10this other alien who looks like Pumba from Timoon and Pumba, but her race
- 17:15only lives to nine years old. So she's a fully grown woman, but
- 17:18her character is only one and a half years old and she an alien,
- 17:22And I'm like, why would you put that in a television program? It
- 17:25is weird. It's weird. I mean, go watch she was one.
- 17:29Yes, Neelix looks like, yeah, who did you say Pumba Pumba?
- 17:33He was just with alf no mix mixed with timone. So yeah, the
- 17:38actual art director went, I'm going to create an alien that looks like Timoona
- 17:41Pumba had sex, and that's how they made Neelings I mean they're in a
- 17:45lust of paradise in the middle of the desert with nothing around. Jim and
- 17:49were absolutely giving each other bro jobs. Absolutely. You heard the sound effect.
- 17:56It means no worries. Yeah, I mean you saw the way Timon
- 17:57stuck down that slug. He's got skills. Timon has skills. And why
- 18:03do you think Simber hung around with him for so long? He was getting
- 18:07broad jobs too. Sexual awakening was in his lipstick painted. He was like
- 18:12full by dancing across that log. Yeah, what do you think the log
- 18:17was a metaphor for it's clearly phallic big time, and he didn't want to
- 18:21go back with those women that even even when even when Nahla gave him the
- 18:25sex eyes, he was like, well, you know, I've got a
- 18:27real good thing. Yeah, we PlayStation and blow. That's what we do.
- 18:30And what do you think Tom also was like Timorrow had a song.
- 18:33I can see what's happening here. Our threesomes down to two. You know,
- 18:40you know what? He wasn't happy played by the wonderful Nathan Lane.
- 18:44He's halfway there and you know what I mean the gate I've never thought about
- 18:52the idea of Timon former and Simba being a mad mentor but now doing some
- 19:00weird ship with bugs. Wentever to stop and go watch The Lion King and
- 19:02not think about that. Yeah, you're going to make Lion King great again.
- 19:04Actually, go and watch the live action one and see the grotesque pumba
- 19:08that Seth Brogan was imagine that. Yeah, you know, who knows what's
- 19:11gonna happen in the prequel. The Faster prequel is coming out later this year.
- 19:18It was a post for that the other day. Maybe James L.
- 19:19Jones. I hoped it was a April Fools joke, but apparently, Yeah,
- 19:23I didn't really, I didn't watch the remake. Why would you the
- 19:26live action? Oh you're just racist, am I? That is that racist?
- 19:30Yeah, because they had to cast all black people in that film because
- 19:33they're African lions so obviously have to be voiced by except for yes, went
- 19:38from Roan Atkinson to John Oliver, which is excellent casting, mind you.
- 19:41Oh yeah, but that's because that bird's not and I don't believe it's a
- 19:45native African bird. It was. Yeah, that was That was the whole
- 19:48point. That's that's the thing. Because you didn't Beyonce. You voiced like
- 19:52Sarabi or something, isn't she? No, she was Narla. Oh but
- 19:56actually now, I mean the trailer came out over a week ago and I
- 19:59just still have got around Beyonce's back voicing a character in this, and so
- 20:03was her daughter. Oh okay, I'm like really, I like the Wiz
- 20:08Was that good? What else is coming out? You like those three singers
- 20:12in Little Shop of Horrors? Yeah, as he wears his Margat knockoff hat.
- 20:19Yeah, yeah, I'm not I'm not racist. My father's dead.
- 20:30Hey. Do you think this episode would have been wrapped up really really quick
- 20:32if they just got Breaktack in? Because break Tack can tell when people are
- 20:36lying. He can look into their eyes well and look into their heart.
- 20:37Why didn't they just bring break Tack in? Here? Go? Yeah,
- 20:41Dange's telling the truth. Well yeah, and that's what Jack said. Oh
- 20:44oh no, sorry, Carter said, we don't have a polygraph, and
- 20:47he has something that'll be better. And I was like, zaytak. Oh,
- 20:49I was gonna say break tak, Yeah, you pronounce it, and
- 20:56then then they will tilkin. Oh. Yeah, I guess I noticed a
- 21:00subtle I guess at this point it's a pattern prior Daniel shows up, he's
- 21:07locked up in the odyssey. He has one on one scene with Jack.
- 21:12Yeah, he has one on one scene with Tilk. He has a one
- 21:18on one scene with Vala, who's his other best friend he's known the longest
- 21:22time, that he ignored while he was ascended. Yes, I was thinking
- 21:26this and didn't that same person just didn't bother to go and have one on
- 21:30one with him? Yeah, Sam, And she was, wasn't she kind
- 21:34of the one who's saying, we don't need we can't trust him, or
- 21:38I don't think so. There was something about there's something about the briefing when
- 21:44she was just like against Daniel, we can't trust him with something because it
- 21:48was like certain thing that you said about him being ascended and didn't bother to
- 21:52contact her. She's well, yeah, I'm back, or yeah, you
- 22:02didn't bother to see me. You didn't come and see me while you were
- 22:03ascended. He's a white male pig, that's what he is. Or yeah,
- 22:08let women come pig. He looked like it was a compig with the
- 22:15stuff on his face. Well yeah, Marina background maybe Yeah, I feel
- 22:21like they maybe their sex was more like avatar, like you know, like
- 22:23where they just put tales together. It was all more about how they felt,
- 22:26you know, in the moment, whereas there's she just like spewed white
- 22:32lights all over him and that was like from from her face hugger. Yeah,
- 22:36well you downstairs face hugger. That what did I call the other day?
- 22:41The the meat car wash? We've lost Maddy, I can I can
- 22:55never go to a car wash again or watch Lady Gaga on the Red Carpet.
- 23:07Oh wowses. But yeah, I was hoping back to Daniel. Mm
- 23:18hmmm. Yeah. I was just that kind of backstory of Daniel and Marina
- 23:23background was what I was saying a few weeks ago, is what should have
- 23:26happened, and Barla should have stayed there too, and trying to convince her
- 23:33they did another way through Merlin and that. But yeah, I feel like
- 23:37I wanted to see that kind of through lineesome with the moment, yeah,
- 23:42orry big time. Yeah, stepmom, stepmom? Yeah, stepdad comes in
- 23:49you know limp, no, Dick, Well, that'd have to be one
- 23:52of the priors, would have to be the stepdad, I suppose depends on
- 23:55what I was thinking. I was thinking of, like you know, oh
- 24:00oh yeah, I guess he part. That's the older Cooke Zero. They're
- 24:06great people. I thought, see, I thought you'd be the kind of
- 24:08guy where you'd want to see like Vala, Andria and Daniel. You want
- 24:14to you want to see a two chicks and a dude. I didn't.
- 24:15I didn't. I didn't. I didn't pick you for the kind of guy
- 24:18who'd be looking the other way for like a like an Eiffel Tower situation.
- 24:22I just think it would be nice, all four of them, Okay,
- 24:26and then big Daddy Beefcake Tilt comes in prepared. What about what about that
- 24:32main prior, you know, the prior from like from like Avalon, you
- 24:36know, the one that keeps the keep, the one that keeps rocking up.
- 24:37He used to be he used to be like the town the town governor
- 24:41guy, and then he became a prior. He's popping up a few times.
- 24:44Yeah, get him in there, like not you him him, just
- 24:48like reciting origin passages in the he's in the chair, he's in the cup
- 24:52chair in the corner. Obviously. Yeah, try to ignore him. Hollowed
- 24:57out is area. Trying to ignore him. It's his room, but it's
- 25:04got they're on the bridge he's trying to pilot the ship and they're all on
- 25:10the bridge. He's got the softer sheets. He doesn't want to see it.
- 25:14I don't want to see it. This is my this is my favorite
- 25:15religion. And like the Oris, I is like gang banging with the people.
- 25:21I can't. She's just like focusing out. She's a human double stuff
- 25:26Oreo right now about Yeah, I thought it was weird that Varla said to
- 25:34everyone like that she she thinks she's the only one that knows just how dangerous
- 25:40and powerful Adrea is. But Shanksy's like Daniel's been with Adrea cumultively now,
- 25:48way longer, and like most of the time that Varla spent with Adria,
- 25:53she was like a petulant child, Like she was literally like a newborn child.
- 25:57Is it like is it a woman thing? Like yeah, it was.
- 26:03It was a familial thing. You've gone, Brendan, like, you
- 26:06know, maybe especially because your your daughter is the oldest. But I'm just
- 26:10like my wife looks at my daughter and she's not even three yet and just
- 26:14looks like it goes, oh, she's going to be a little bit,
- 26:15you know, like she's sort of like she can see trait she's doing now
- 26:18and what that's going to mean when she's eight, what's going to mean like
- 26:21when she's thirteen? Yeah, but I mean, you know your children were
- 26:25were created traditionally Varla was impregnated by a fire. You think God had something
- 26:30to do it? Well, one of you were screaming at the time,
- 26:34not Sarah obviously she was obviously not hasn't in like years. I just yeah,
- 26:41I think I guess since Brendon walked in and filmed this and that is
- 26:45a true story, we quickly deleted it. Well together watched it and then
- 26:56we deleted it. Yeah, you see there jagged off justack which Sarah'd get
- 27:00out of the way. Yeah, I was. I was proud of Midge
- 27:04that trip longevity I did. I should go back. It's taking a turn
- 27:12A lot of effort though, isn't it. It is? You know,
- 27:15And in the end, I don't want to do ad workouts every day Jesus.
- 27:18And at the time I will never get on top again, obviously only
- 27:23morally. Morally, yes, argument they have the high ground in the bedroom,
- 27:30they never want the high ground. I liked it how Daniel came in
- 27:36as the prior and was like, really good at it. Oh yeah,
- 27:40because he's like didn't grow up indoctrinated in that, so it's like b us
- 27:44or die. But he was like this, this stuff is going to get
- 27:48him across the line and the right in facets and a little miracle here and
- 27:52there. It was. It was a clumsy introduction though, like you know,
- 27:56we could tell it was Daniel from his voice. Yeah, but then
- 27:59they waited other thirty seconds to do could reveal And even in the commentary,
- 28:03Cooper talks about how he kind of stuffed up because it's like they gave they
- 28:07gave Daniel the staff, they gave him a book to read Origin from,
- 28:11but then he had to like clumsily like put his book into the other hand
- 28:15so that they could pull his hood off. And he just said, it
- 28:18just didn't look the way it should have. I like the back I like
- 28:22the backshot where they're tracking and he's with the with the over the shoulder stuff.
- 28:29But then they yeah, they like, you're right, they should have
- 28:30cut to SG one hiding and then just hearing muffles, Yeah, can you
- 28:37hear Shanksy's voice? Yeah, you know, immediately Yeah, and this is
- 28:41this is always difficult, you know, you know, in the script.
- 28:45It's very easy to create a dramatic reveal, but as soon as you see
- 28:52you know this character, you're going to know it's so how do you exactly?
- 28:56I mean, you can tell his voice, I mean, how many
- 28:59speaks do you know that it sounds the other guy I wanted? Who was
- 29:03that? I think that's either Will Wearing or like Peter West or something like
- 29:07that. You can just tell that he was keen to say it the whole
- 29:11Oh yeah, Terry, except oh you had to wait for his boss to
- 29:12say it first and then smash it yeah, followed by followed by this little
- 29:18gim This might be your favorite. In many cases, I'll be I'll be
- 29:22on the floor and directing a scene, and I think be frustrated with myself
- 29:26as the writer, and and and you know, you put a different hat
- 29:30on and and and you just wish that you had written a better scene or
- 29:34or figured out a better way that the story point could have been on,
- 29:38you know, conveyed and crush must have burnt coming out of his mouth.
- 29:42Every director of Stargate SG one for the last nine years has said the exact
- 29:47same thing. They've looked at a script from Robert Cooper and gone, I
- 29:49wish this was better. I wonder what I can do to make this actually
- 29:53watchable. And it's like him again, it's easy. It's easy to write
- 29:56a dramatic reveal, like it just didn't look the way that I guess it
- 30:00was supposed to. But I'm thinking that you're writing, you're writing a script
- 30:03like it's designed to be seen, because it's like you're writing a book.
- 30:07Yeah, and like books, I remember a big thing, like the first
- 30:11one I ever really heard people explain. I mean we're talking nearly twenty years
- 30:14ago, but like when the Da Vinci Code came out and the reveal of
- 30:18who, like the puppet Master is behind that film is revealed quite late,
- 30:22Like in the final act of the final act, you get to reveal who
- 30:26who's been pulling the strings the whole time. That character appears, but only
- 30:30like as a shadow and as a hand wearing a glove and stuff throughout.
- 30:33Whereas they said, you know in the book that person's talking all the time.
- 30:37Yeah, you can just say a man emerges, it says, he
- 30:40says all this souf if you could even describe kind of what he looks like,
- 30:41and if you don't describe if that person is otherwise you know, a
- 30:45you know, sleep agent or something you know in the in the other half
- 30:48of the book, and you can get away with that. Was when you're
- 30:51writing a script, don't have him say that much shit and then go and
- 30:53watch the final product and go, well, see it doesn't make sense now
- 30:56because you can hear it's Daniel, you wrote it. You wrote it.
- 31:00The other thing is like, when you're writing a script, you're supposed to
- 31:03be visualizing, you're seeing on the screen. You're not just meant to be,
- 31:07Oh, this is a cool story idea. Especially he says this,
- 31:10the person says, your first idea is going to be, Oh, it
- 31:12could be this awesome thing, and you're like, how can we mate?
- 31:15How is it going to be physically possible? Yeah, to get the camera
- 31:18like that c g I all the time, right, But like the scripts
- 31:22that get handed into a studio or producer, they read words on a paper
- 31:27and go that looks expensive. Yeah it's paper, and they go, we
- 31:30can't film that, you know, like, because you're writing what you want
- 31:33to see and here and then he can come and given the Cooper now is
- 31:37also a prolific director, prolific many times he's what did he say? Many
- 31:42times he's been on set as director? Was it to have you though?
- 31:48Is it too? I think it's too I think it might be too.
- 31:49But also he's also Woody Allen level your director. Does he think if he
- 31:56comes in and go if it was Blaura and they go like, does he
- 32:00consider himself like a co director? If he suggests he wears many hats to
- 32:06cover his ball spot? Obviously, but you can as a writer and executive
- 32:09producer about me, you can going you could be going into set and going
- 32:16talking to the director and go down to the set. Sorry down, Hooper
- 32:20always says, he goes down to the he goes down to the floor.
- 32:22He goes down on the floor. You can be down with all the peasants
- 32:25and still suggest like give commands or you know how in scripts it has like
- 32:30stage direction, and says, you know, he could have just written it
- 32:36because he's the boss, and then everyone else just has to make whatever ship
- 32:40he scribbles on pages and his hands out. Yeah, so whatever he puts
- 32:45on the page is what gets made. But like he's an executive producer,
- 32:49so he doesn't care about finance. Obviously, no wants to spend how much
- 32:55money he wants, especially if he's directing it. Yeah, I don't care
- 32:59if the show gets care so we're going to spend the money. Yeah,
- 33:01boo boo. Week you mentioned you mentioned the Cooper's favorite opening, the way
- 33:10he loves to, you know, list all his positions that he does.
- 33:15But enough about me. He changed it up this time. I guess.
- 33:17I guess since you know, since he recorded. He recorded this audio commentary
- 33:22after the show was canceled, so he's a little down. He's a little
- 33:27down, but he still decided he was going to open with a joke.
- 33:30Yeah. We just recorded on Thursday, Brad's first ever commentary, and he
- 33:37asked me how I thought it went. I said it was easily in the
- 33:40top two hundred commentaries, which is not very good because we didn't do commentaries
- 33:47for the first three seasons. Yeah, good point. Yeah, pity love
- 33:53Ady m Keita. I believe that is too the other voice because Amie Ketter
- 33:57directed this episode. Yes, poor Andy bloody Cooper. Oh, I'm freaking
- 34:06Woolsey too, son of a bitch. Just when you start to maybe like
- 34:10him, he's like, let's kill Daniel Jackson and you're like, mate,
- 34:15I if I was like Tilk, I probably would have tried to strangle him.
- 34:20Yeah, you know what I mean. Well, I mean Daniel did
- 34:22he strangler lifted him up. Apparently originally was and this is the way Cooper
- 34:27wrote it. Originally he somehow used his prior powers to make Woolsey wet himself
- 34:34was originally hard powers, right, Yeah, turns water into peach with the
- 34:39orgasmotron. Yeah, the pri version of the brown note. It's like the
- 34:44brown note, but it's the yellow note. And they all everyone kind of
- 34:47went, yeah, no, let's maybe we'll just strangle him instead. Just
- 34:51we'll do a y gag and we'll lift him up and he can be choked,
- 34:53because that obviously makes way more sense than making more Jack. I love
- 35:00this show so much, and I love Richard dan Anderson. He's so good
- 35:02in this. Yeah, he just comes in and just steals the show.
- 35:07Let's just take this one thing straight. You killed Daniel over my dead body,
- 35:13and it's like, dude, that just that all of his power.
- 35:17But then also Jack, like through the whole episode, Jack doesn't really believe
- 35:22Daniel either. He's like but that's he's like, I want to I want
- 35:24to believe you, you know, but at the end of the day,
- 35:28he's like, that's Daniel, and I think even is it sam or Mitchell
- 35:30says that at the start of the episode, they're like, it could be
- 35:34a trap, but it's Daniel. We have to go like we have to.
- 35:37So yeah, Jack's the same thing. He's like, well, you're
- 35:38not going to kill him, full stop. He's you just you're not.
- 35:43I don't care if you sent that in an email or a memo to the
- 35:46president, I don't care. Yeah, exactly. You literally have to kill
- 35:51me. Yeah, You're gonna have to kill me. Yeah. No,
- 35:55I love that so much because, like you said, you just like him.
- 36:00And I found myself thinking about it because I am watching Atlantis for the
- 36:02first time. So when I first watched this episode, I would just been
- 36:06like, can Wolsey's back? You pricky get You're worse every time, Whereas
- 36:09now it's like, no, you took so many steps back in our direction,
- 36:14yeah, back upwards after that double episode in Atlantis, and now you're
- 36:17back to being like, nah, I'm pushing pencils and sorry. It would
- 36:22have been a different story if he had have come out like laundry, says
- 36:27I don't even have I don't you have to tell them because this is bullshit.
- 36:30And he actually comes out and says, I take full responsibility. It
- 36:35was my recommendation. And then you're like, easily he could have said it
- 36:39wasn't it was up to the IOWA commedian it to me, but he like
- 36:44that makes it worse. Well, that was the bit that I liked because
- 36:46it was a callback to proto type with Klik and yeah, Woolsey, you
- 36:52know, felt guilty because you remember the flip side of that is in Prototype,
- 36:55Daniel was the one saying, you have to kill this motherfucker straight away.
- 36:59You have to kill Kaylick immediately. He's the son of an ubus killing
- 37:01immediately, and everyone else is going, calm down, Daniel, it's not
- 37:05that bad, and then those you know, the nameless face so guys got
- 37:08killed, and Daniel basically said to Wolzy, that's on you, mate,
- 37:13like, and then Daniel mentions that in the following scene as well, Yeah,
- 37:17yeah, I think the only thing that would have been better is if,
- 37:19like prior, Daniel had called him dick as well. You know,
- 37:22that would be great. But yes, I did like that little bit of
- 37:28yeah, yeah, I liked that because yet it was just a little bit
- 37:30of like it made me understand why Wolsey would go that to that atomic level
- 37:37of saying, given that Carter is the first one that says, well,
- 37:43why don't we just put him in in the pod and will freeze him until
- 37:45we figure out it's either her or Jack or something like that, Because that
- 37:49makes the most amount of sense. So the fact that that Woolsey went to
- 37:52that atomic level, I bought it because of the whole Kalic prototype thing.
- 37:57It didn't make me like Wolzy anymore. He's still just a disgusting little human
- 38:00being. Yeah, But I but I understand the same way. It's like
- 38:05I understood Kinsey and why he was such a piece of shit. I understand
- 38:09Wolsey. So that makes Wolsey a really really good villain to me. He's
- 38:13a great villain. Like I don't like him, but I understand why I
- 38:16don't like him, because that actor I love, you know, he's he's
- 38:22one of my favorite people of all time. You know. But it's different
- 38:23too because those other guys that came in they were never good. Were Woolsey.
- 38:30He has some good points, yeah, and he comes in and you're
- 38:31like, I like him now I don't. Now I like him now I
- 38:35don't. Yeah, So it's very annoying. I just don't think they knew
- 38:38where they wanted to take Woolsey or some of the writers forgot where they took
- 38:43well, yes, eik, yeah that could be possibility to given that he
- 38:45split over two shows. Yeah, maybe when you know Cooper was writing this,
- 38:50Joe I think was Joe and Paul were doing the Return, so maybe
- 38:53you know they didn't know, like there was no communication between them. So
- 38:58it's like, yeah, because Wolsey in Atlantis in the Return is great,
- 39:02but then you come back to this version of Wolsey and like even Rob Pocado
- 39:07did play it really well where he kind of you could tell he didn't feel
- 39:13good about it, but he still recommended execution, you know what I mean,
- 39:16like directly to the president. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I
- 39:20know what you mean in terms of I did like that about his character,
- 39:23like literally facing the music. Yeah, to the people that would like die
- 39:29for Daniel and they probably kill you for saying that. Yeah. Yeah.
- 39:32And I feel like season season seven, Woolsey back when we first met him,
- 39:36like in Heroes, Yeah, he would have been the kind of guy
- 39:38to just give Landry the information to go off. You go, I've got
- 39:42to go TELLU SG one now. But I think because the writing and production
- 39:45love Pacado so much, they're like they've written so I was like, well,
- 39:49no, now he's going to come forward and he's going to give the
- 39:51information direct to SG one, knowing that they're all going to be like,
- 39:54get all the way, it's never gonna happen. Yeah, it does remind
- 39:59me of that old school SGU one where they're always told no, you can't
- 40:02do it, and then they go rogue. You know, they're just up
- 40:05in black and do sneak out through the wormhole. And it reminded me of
- 40:09that when they did that in SG one. At the end of season one,
- 40:14they land going on Ubers's ship. They're sneaking around the ship, and
- 40:16then they have two main villains starting with A and And the thing is like
- 40:25in this episode as well, they go they go on the our ship,
- 40:30they ring to the ship, they're trying to sneak around, and they immediately
- 40:35get into a firefight with the soldiers. Yeah, but I feel like in
- 40:37the SG one when we were sneaking around back in the day, you'd hear
- 40:42those your fasts stomping the way and you just hide in the bulkhead. Yeah.
- 40:46Plus you had til going, well, I know the ins and outs
- 40:49of these things, so here's a little secret compartment that we can go and
- 40:52hide it. Yeah, whereas they ring into this and they're like, what
- 40:54do we do? Yeah? Yeah that way? Yeah, I just there
- 40:59was there's nice little lines between those episodes. Yeah, I do have some
- 41:05of the Jack Daniel gold if you guys want to. Absolutely, it's a
- 41:08little bit long, but we can. We can cut bits and pass and
- 41:10just when does your chariot turn back into a pumpkin? No, I don't
- 41:15have much time. They're so a day. Kind of risky leaving it this
- 41:19late in the game. Well, I didn't have much choice, and it
- 41:21took you guys a little long to capture me than I planned. So right,
- 41:28why do we have to do that again? Well, I couldn't exactly
- 41:30just come to you. I think Andrew might have suspected something. Yes,
- 41:32I see, Jack, you have to believe me. Why why Well,
- 41:38because I don't know the fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance. You
- 41:43know that old chestnuts get a little old no, No, that part never
- 41:49gets old. Now you have to shut down that super gate, and you
- 41:51have to let me go. You know how much I hate being told what
- 41:53to do. Jacket me what that's supposed to convince me? Look at you?
- 41:58Have I ever let you down? No, don't answer that it really
- 42:00mattered. I don't even know who I'm really talking to right now. When
- 42:05you're being tortured by ball, killed, brought back to life over and over
- 42:07again, I stood buy you the whole toll right, Just stop. I
- 42:10don't need to be reminded of that. Been around this barbecue a few times.
- 42:16Just because you know the stuff Daniel knows doesn't mean you're him, doesn't
- 42:20mean you're telling the truth. I mean, come on, you've got to
- 42:22know what you're asking me to do. I do you know there's a bottom
- 42:28line here? Carter doesn't think you do it? Can A Mark nine beam
- 42:31directly behind the gate in the pegasas skalaxy will destroy that gate. The wormhole
- 42:35connection will be broken. How do you know that? Hello, Merlin?
- 42:39Oh yes, Merlin. I wish I had proof. I wish I had
- 42:43a way to convince you, but I don't. Now this was the only
- 42:45choice I had and I took it. It's a good plan. It just
- 42:50happens to hinge on you guys believing in me having a little faith. Now,
- 42:52I thought you, of all people might why you, of all people
- 42:57should know that I don't believe anything anybody says, even if I understand what
- 43:00they're talking about. Jack, it's me that look that he gave to when
- 43:07he when he yelled like we were talking about it, and he's like,
- 43:08hang on, what did I say? What I just said? That's the
- 43:14best you got if you went to Cooper with that, that's the best thing
- 43:19thing to come up with. That's the best we can do. Yeah,
- 43:20scenes like that where it's just trading off these two guys that have been doing
- 43:22the same show and working opposite each other and having so many great scenes along
- 43:27the years where they're arguing about philosophies and things like that and just different ideologies
- 43:31whatever. And then you've got Michael Shank sitting there and all that makeup and
- 43:36he's sitting in a chair under that light. Well yeah, you know there
- 43:38was there's RDA and I'm thinking, yeah, this is you know this if
- 43:44Shank's left because he wanted to go do some ship this is probably He's like,
- 43:46make it elevator a little bit, put me in some weird makeup.
- 43:49He put me in like this giant chair and this weird costume makeup, and
- 43:52not too much, make no context, obviously, do whatever you want to
- 43:57my you know, extra did Hamlet wear contexts? I don't think so.
- 44:00I will play a woman though, and and just have them sort of sit
- 44:04there and just yell at each other. And I'm like, this is such
- 44:07a great scene again, when you're bringing a guy back that's only in at
- 44:10every I don't know what ten episodes on average, maybe like between and you
- 44:15hear that. No, I'm just even listening to that without the ability to
- 44:19watch it. I'm thinking about the fact that Richard Dean Anderson is off,
- 44:22you know, just in John his life and having fun with his kids and
- 44:24stuff. And then he's like I kind of miss just blame the guys gets
- 44:30to come back in and it's like, this is what we've got you to
- 44:31do, and he's like, shit, this is like the good old days.
- 44:35So yeah, Jack. Unfortunately though, and I don't think this is
- 44:39really a split's This is the final appearance of Richard Anderson and Woolsey in SG
- 44:45one in the TV series, I guess, you know, there's only like
- 44:50six episodes left to go, but this is Yeah, this is the final
- 44:53appearance of both Woolsey and O'Neill. It's kind of weird having only six episodes
- 44:58to go. I think it's not like the sixth podcasts to the end of
- 45:01SG one for us. Yeah, it's come up quicker than I thought it
- 45:06would. Yeah. Yeah, in a couple of months we'll have will have
- 45:08finished SG one. It's wild. Yeah, it's wild to think, I
- 45:13guess because we're yeah, because we're still you know, splitting it between Atlantis.
- 45:17Just think by by what maybe July this year, we'll just be doing
- 45:22Atlantis episodes. Well, that's kind of weird. July anniversary of the podcast,
- 45:27and it's like we might actually get very open done the math have and
- 45:30looked at the calendar, but we might actually get very close to when we
- 45:31started the podcast. Yeah, in July, and then it tick over and
- 45:35that'll be it for SG one. It's kind of weird, are we It's
- 45:37probably a conversation we can have off Mike, but obviously we'll do our season
- 45:40ten rank are we again? Gonna then as part of the episode, do
- 45:45like a series rap on st you one or will we do those like a
- 45:47separate podcast as like a retrospective series rap kind of and then we can rank.
- 45:52Yeah yeah, I think so probably. I think we have yeah,
- 45:57yeah, oh, definitely do it. Yeah yeah, I think we have
- 46:00to do it like there's some kind of special wrap up. Yeahwe Mitchell,
- 46:07you you mentioned the chair before the chair that Daniel. Did you recognize that
- 46:10at all? Is it Dr Evil's chair? No? Has anyone in the
- 46:15room now about nom? Has anyone? No? Has anyone seen the John
- 46:22WU your mate ben Affleck film Paycheck? Oh? Yeah, apparently that's not
- 46:29all of it, but it's a sorry three star. They bought that chair
- 46:31from that production. That the prior chair that Daniel was in was in a
- 46:36John W. Ben Affleck movie called Paycheck, and they made some adjustments to
- 46:39it, but the actual main core of it is from that film. Apparently.
- 46:43Okay, I mean I feel like that would have been I don't remember
- 46:45that well, like, but was it more about the head piece? Right?
- 46:51Did he wear like a because if you know, then you know the
- 46:53idea is he makes things back backwards compatibility and then he gets his memory wiped.
- 47:00Yeah, but then he gets paid and he doesn't know what he did
- 47:01because it's like a secret. Yeah. So yeah, he would lay it
- 47:05in a chair, but all credits. Yeah, but it's like what did
- 47:08he make? Umimon? I can't remember. It was like I'm gogling,
- 47:13like two thousands and I would say, so this, I mean, this
- 47:16movie was this show was made? This episode really, this episode was made,
- 47:22so it had to be pre seven. Yes, yeah, I just
- 47:27thought it was a reuse of two thousand and three. It was Devil Year.
- 47:32Well I typed in paycheck ben Affleck and it just come up with what
- 47:36he was paid for that film. This was Ben Affleck's biggest paycheck today,
- 47:38earning him approximately fifteen million dollars. Wow. Yeah, yeah, I thought
- 47:44I thought the chair was just a reuse from Yeah, Kaylek can cast in
- 47:47that film, Ben Affleck, Uma, Thurmon, Aaron air Cut, Paul
- 47:51gmmarty, Michael Chol, Joe Morton, and Colm Fiel. I'll have to
- 47:54check it out. Speaking well, you gonna check it out. I don't
- 48:00believe you want to check it out. I'm going to Google right now and
- 48:04see where it's streaming. If you can find it where it is. I'll
- 48:07do it. I will speaking. I've got a great app. Just watch
- 48:08have you guys got that app? Just it's not as reliable. I don't
- 48:15know about that. No, it's not as reliable. I think I told
- 48:16you we did, and I'm so glad you did because it's it's it's very
- 48:21good TV. God, it's the digital TV. Gu It's got no affiliation
- 48:24with anything. Yeah, I didn't even know the app. You this one?
- 48:29Baby, Okay, we were just we were talking a couple of weeks
- 48:30ago about that the oh got their name's just fallen straight out of my head.
- 48:37The red Head. The movie we're talking about where like she's pregnant and
- 48:40like because the whole world's barren. Julian Moore, Yeah, children of Children
- 48:47of Men. I just went to see a movie called Children of Men.
- 48:52I don't know if you've seen it. You haven't yet now, but there
- 48:55was a sequence in a car that that as I'm watching it, I was,
- 49:00you know, utterly struck by the fact that I couldn't figure out where
- 49:06the camera was right And I knew that in this scene there had to be
- 49:08a camera somewhere, but it didn't make sense how how you're seeing this in
- 49:14the physical space of a real of the real world, and when I saw
- 49:17the rig that they built in order to get this sequence, It's just it's
- 49:24amazing to me that that, you know, the difference between working on a
- 49:29feature film and you know, and working in the world of television that we
- 49:31that we do. You know, I think they spent more on that rig
- 49:37than we do on an entire episode, unless it's a Tata Yeah, and
- 49:42then all bets are off. Look, Mattie, if you do want to
- 49:44watch Paycheck, ye oh god, currently not streaming anywhere. You have to
- 49:50hire it for five bucks on Amazon or YouTube. Absolutely. I haven't even
- 49:52done that for Blue Beetle yet. I'm still waiting for desperate to see Blue
- 49:55Beetle, but I'm too cheap to pay six niney nine to rend it off
- 49:58YouTube. It'll be on Binge soon, Home of DC. Speaking of a
- 50:01friend of the show, member of the team, Jacob and his girlfriend chaper
- 50:05iPhone Ellen, we spoke about a long, long while ago. They started
- 50:08their own podcast, basically Blue Beetles on Bings right Down, Oh yeah,
- 50:16Weekend Jesus the Gate guys The Gate. Speaking of so Jacob and Ellen do
- 50:22their own podcast where Psyched, which is they're doing a rewatch of the TV
- 50:28show Psych. It's a first rewatch Ellen loves. How did they come up
- 50:31with that name? Where Where? I've been wanting to listen to their podcast,
- 50:37but there's been nowhere to watch Psych the TV show. Let me just
- 50:40have a look at this. Great at that, Brendan, he dropped on
- 50:44Netflix already. I've got the email already, mother or late seasons of Cych
- 50:47are now on Netflix in Australia, so I'll be able to watch that and
- 50:51listen to Jacobin Ellen's podcast Psyched. When Daniel Beams is just Psych, I
- 50:59believe nice spelling psych incorrect? Yeah, you probably are because you're from cards
- 51:04P S y C H E ma you mean Psyche. Oh, I'll have
- 51:09you know. We're sitting there watching the news the other night, obviously because
- 51:15were turning off a streaming streaming start and it popped up on live TV.
- 51:19And who who was reading? Who was behind the desk? No? E,
- 51:22okay, there you go. Who is behind the desk of Channel ten
- 51:25reading the news web key other than Ursler our old she's a Channel ten reported
- 51:31now she's behind the bloody desk? Mate and I said, so she was
- 51:35in our home like our home group essentially, yea, yeah, yeah,
- 51:38And and she was like one I get we went to school with her,
- 51:42and she's like, you know what lot of you guys have done? All
- 51:45right? I'm like, well, why don't you tell Maddie just because you
- 51:47don't know what carab is. The the teleprompter was probably eat some buddy carrot.
- 51:55Brennan took those, No you we're gonna eat them now. It was
- 52:00it was probably like the teleproperty was probably spelled everything up phonetically nothing. What
- 52:07phonetically means is what I didn't know what a telepromter was. When Daniel beams
- 52:22Jack onto the Odyssey from the SGC, it reminds me a lot of the
- 52:25scene in the season four episode Absolute Power. You remember when Daniel gets knowledge
- 52:30of the half ceases and he creates he makes the AG three satellite. That's
- 52:37right, he's sitting in that little control room, yeah chair, And that's
- 52:38what this when when Daniel was in charge of the Odyssey, he's like had
- 52:44ultimate absolute power like in that episode, and then Jack was trying to argue
- 52:49with Daniel, and I'm like, that same dynamic was in Absolute Power I
- 52:53forgot a lot of a lot of that dynamic in this episode. Yeah.
- 52:58The thing that jumped out from me from that scene was, and we talked
- 53:00about it last week or the week before with Atlantis, is we thought it
- 53:04was weird that of the three zz pms that Atlantis got, the Odyssey got
- 53:07one. Yeah, and then hopefully it was for more than just this episode
- 53:13where where Daniel somehow magically manages to make the Odyssey cloak and he's like,
- 53:19yeah, having his EDPM really helps. That was it, And that was
- 53:22it, And I'm like, please tell me they didn't they didn't give Odyssey
- 53:25a ZZPM just for that one line. It could be because then he kind
- 53:30of like he he changes it at the end. Oh yeah, he doesn't
- 53:35remember. Yeah yeah, So like thenesty is still has been a number like
- 53:39a button. Yeah, surely, surely, but yeah, because Carter's like,
- 53:44we don't know how to decloak it, can you? Ah right?
- 53:46So yeah, at the end of the episode, the Odyssey is still cloaked.
- 53:50I didn't even really think about that, forget where You're passed. I
- 53:52was actually thinking more about how those prior ships came so quickly after they shut
- 53:59down the Supergate because I feel like like it would take a lot of time
- 54:04to round up and that meant amount of soldiers to fill those ships. So
- 54:07how long was Daniel asleep? Well, I think you could probably hide behind
- 54:10the idea that they've been waiting. They've been sitting there waiting for their moment,
- 54:15because it's obviously that was the supergate from the Pegasus Project where we stopped
- 54:20them from coming through. So you reckon they're on those ships? Yeah,
- 54:22I mean the ships are self sufficient, they're designed to be lived on and
- 54:25waiting, so and those ships there would have been ships waiting to come through
- 54:30the Tropico back in Pegasus Project. I mean granted that was probably six months
- 54:35ago in universe at this point, but it's like, yeah, it wouldn't
- 54:37surprise me if they were kind of just hanging out there. But how would
- 54:43they have known to dial at that moment unless maybe the ore or the step
- 54:47they sent the ship through, right, Oh, that's right, they sent
- 54:51through the au I ship and with the sun gral on it, So yeah,
- 54:54they would have known that it was okay to dial through. But then
- 54:58what my point of view is like or they people would have lived on planets,
- 55:01like if you sold soldiers or whatever. If you can't get to the
- 55:06to the front line, then like, what are you doing? He's staying
- 55:09in camp or yeah, yeah, I think that makes sense that, Yeah,
- 55:14when Pegas's project happened and they couldn't dial in, but it was still
- 55:16they all just went and landed and lived on the planet. But I think
- 55:21you could hide behind the fact that they were all just living on their ships,
- 55:23just waiting around their supergate waiting to dial in and spoiler alert for anyone
- 55:29who doesn't want to be spoiled, skip ahead thirty seconds or whatever. But
- 55:32in the audio commentary about a spoiler for the end of this show and then
- 55:38going into ark of truth, maybe me. But I'm editing this too,
- 55:44so I mean, yeah, you've seen it all before, everything I do,
- 55:47forget everything. Yeah, you've never seen it. No, but I
- 55:52look going to tell you what happens in season five of Atlantis when you know
- 55:53Rodney dies. Oh, I honestly think, like it's like I've said,
- 55:59the last couple of episodes the best one, they may as well be new
- 56:01content for me, Like Daniel showed up as a prior and I'm like,
- 56:04yeah, like I think I've got a vague memory of him and the makeup.
- 56:07Yeah, yeah, yeah, but like I forget it, so,
- 56:09like, yeah, I haven't seen this episode for probably twelve years. Oh
- 56:14really, I really This is one of my most rewatched because I remember Daniel
- 56:19being evil for some reason. But I guess it's the prior makeup, like
- 56:22you know, you throw your mind back. He's wearing the prime makup.
- 56:25He's strapped to the chair and he actually does like backstab them in a way,
- 56:31you know what I mean, does he well, he steals the ship,
- 56:36yeah, I guess, yeah, just a little bit of a little
- 56:38bit, and like he kidnapped Jack and Jack against his will. Jackie,
- 56:43you know, hey, hey, we know what's going on. He has
- 56:45done that. Thor just rocks up to earth and beams Oh yeah, Chris.
- 56:52Because he doesn't a genitals, that's fine, yes, But because Daniel
- 56:55has a penis for mate, that's perfectly fine. Yeah. So I think
- 57:01he's namely, you know, he had to lead the kids with Daniel Jackson
- 57:05or a bear, which one Daniel Jackson with the bear Daniel Jackson is Yeah,
- 57:14but I did like how that worked because when he like the straps came
- 57:17off his wrists and I was like, oh, yeah, that's right,
- 57:21you mother, you are. And then he's not bored of my plan.
- 57:24You're like, oh shit, okay. Then he kidnaps Jack. What's going
- 57:29on here? And then he gets up and I like, how O'Neill's sitting
- 57:31there, Daniel and before he even turns around, and then I'm like,
- 57:36okay, Daniel's going to reveal himself here, and then he doesn't, and
- 57:38Jack's not surprised. And then I guess at the same time, maybe I
- 57:43wasn't surprised either that it was actually Daniel and they're traveling through. They get
- 57:46to the spot, Daniel goes back aboard the ship in front of Andrea and
- 57:52immediately resumes, Ah, my plan worked. I see my orsi, Lord,
- 57:57Queen, mistress woman and what what do you And then like Card is
- 58:00looking at him, like you that you think? Yeah? You thought like
- 58:06at that point, did they well they didn't know Jack was there. Yeah,
- 58:09they don't know Jack was there. Yeah, So it was like it
- 58:12was very just like, Daniel, how did you get here? Yeah?
- 58:15So I loved how all that played out, because that's still that still could
- 58:19have been Daniel having played Jack his truth, was him breaking out of the
- 58:23Straps kidnapping. Oh yeah, it's really me Like, I feel like a
- 58:28second watch of this episode is better than the first watch. Yeah, because
- 58:31you know that Daniel's always on SQ one side. That's because what I like
- 58:37so much is about we had, you know, seven seasons of Daniel and
- 58:42Jack always fighting and having philosophical disagreements on what the US military does, what's
- 58:49versus what's right, you know, what's right in your in your personal belief.
- 58:53So I kind of liked the idea. It's like, well, Daniel
- 58:57could be playing both of them so that Daniel gets what Daniel wants. You
- 59:01know, I wouldn't. I wouldn't surprise me, Like I know that Daniel's
- 59:06not going to kill SG one, but I believe that he was lying to
- 59:09both of them, even though in the end he Daniel was telling the truth
- 59:13to you know, Jack and sgu on the whole time. But I would
- 59:15believe that Daniel would lie to both sides to achieve whatever he needed to manipulate
- 59:22both of them. That's why didn't like it the first time, thinking that
- 59:28I don't know if he's good or bad. Yeah, but as good in
- 59:30the terms of the storyline. I suppose to keep you guessing. Yeah,
- 59:36but I like the second rewatch better because, yeah, you know, and
- 59:39as much as we talked about we talked about a few weeks ago, it's
- 59:43like, would looking back, would we have actually enjoyed if it had been
- 59:49a four or five episode arc where Daniel was a prior and we saw him
- 59:53instead of seeing all the stuff in flashback we saw him living with Andrea,
- 59:58we saw him prophetizing whatever that whatever they call it, and all that kind
- 1:00:02of stuff, and then in episode three or something like that, we see
- 1:00:06him get turned into a pry and it's like, would we have been like,
- 1:00:08oh, Daniel's going dark? Sid, I don't like this at all.
- 1:00:12So in the long run, was it actually better? They just did
- 1:00:14it as this one episode, show it in flashback, and by the end
- 1:00:16of the episode, I guess probably it probably is better this way because even
- 1:00:22when you think about the production wise, he had to go and he's a
- 1:00:25little sabbatical and then come back, so that, yeah, why was he
- 1:00:30away for so long? Let's make it interesting? Yeah, works. I
- 1:00:34think he did the best with with having to him not be available. It
- 1:00:37almost almost wonder Obviously it was his schedule to choose that he wanted two weeks
- 1:00:42off before hiatus in the middle of the season, and two weeks off at
- 1:00:45the Enata. But it's like, if he just taken an extended hiatus,
- 1:00:50imagine if, like, you know, there'd been four episodes in a row
- 1:00:52or something like that where there was no Daniel and we'd seen, you know,
- 1:00:57the end of the Quest where he's captured by Adrea, and then we
- 1:01:00don't see him for four episodes. Yeah, well we didn't quickly because we've
- 1:01:04watched Atlantis. Yea, yeah, that's true. Just feel like a long
- 1:01:07time. I'm just thinking, Okay, if it's a two parter, maybe
- 1:01:10you take the flashbacks out of the first episode and the first ends in a
- 1:01:15cliffhanger where he stands up straps off, choking Wolsey or whatever, and you're
- 1:01:21like that he's revealed himself. No, he was a Pride this whole time
- 1:01:24and he's been deceiving them. The second episode then begins and it's just the
- 1:01:29story of him becoming a prior, and that's fifteen twenty minutes. You're like,
- 1:01:34oh, Michael Shank's episode, I'm seeing him go to the dark side.
- 1:01:37Yeah, yeah, that would have been cool. Yeah, but maybe
- 1:01:39it was written by Cooper. It's a bit like, was it the old
- 1:01:45Legends universe Luke Skywalker that he turned to the dark Side because that was the
- 1:01:49only way that he could beat whatever the next oh yeah villain was. He's
- 1:01:52like, I actually have to let the dark side consume me, and I
- 1:01:55think La had to then be the one to bring him back. He's I'm
- 1:01:58actually gonna go full dark side, but I need someone you know, so
- 1:02:00powerful, too compelling. Let's not do That's do different. Let's do something
- 1:02:06different. We bring Ryan Johnson in right and direct. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:02:09just throw the lights ever over the shoulders. It doesn't mean what are you
- 1:02:13writing off the back of? It doesn't matter what are you writing towards?
- 1:02:15It doesn't it doesn't, it doesn't it So yeah, move on speaking about
- 1:02:20myself, speaking about great chemistry between actors, and yet we get at our
- 1:02:27kind of one and only scene of of Ben and Claudia together Cam and Vala,
- 1:02:34and they just have a great chemistry. You don't know what it is.
- 1:02:37It's just obviously fascape. But I just wish we had a got more
- 1:02:40of that in SG one. I feel like it's because of who valor Is
- 1:02:45as a character and she's so attached to Daniel. Yeah again, she just
- 1:02:49can't have enough time with Ben Brown. It sucks. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:02:52it's weird for them to be like, we're going to hire these two really
- 1:02:54popular actors from this other really popular sci fi show that doesn't exist anymore,
- 1:02:58and we knock to put him in scenes together because the word people will think
- 1:03:01we're trying to copy it, as we also hire Robert Bocardo from Star Trek.
- 1:03:07We hire all these other and then like you know, Duel State,
- 1:03:10you know that we were going to bring in all these other characters from you
- 1:03:14know, other sci fi shows, but they're not that use that. Yeah,
- 1:03:19yeah, there you go and use that to our advantage, like Atlantis,
- 1:03:22the way that Ronan and Taylor have just kind of become friends because they're
- 1:03:28the outsiders, and that we didn't need another alien on SG one. You
- 1:03:31didn't need to have Carter and then Daniel who's not the military person, and
- 1:03:37then three aliens on the team. But if you know Tilk's already long established,
- 1:03:43he may as well be Tari And then you bring in Vala and then
- 1:03:45you have Mitchell, who has maybe known her in the past through some things
- 1:03:50or whatever, and that that that would have been an avenue. But yeah,
- 1:03:52you're right, it's like you bring him in, he's you know,
- 1:03:54hey, he's Beens's American believe in God or maybe not, and so he
- 1:04:00doesn't. There's there's just always going to be a boundary between him and Vaha
- 1:04:03and they're never going to be able to climb over that to be able to
- 1:04:06get close, which and it definitely feels like that, I think, because
- 1:04:10there's never going to be a romantic kind of tension between them. And also,
- 1:04:15yeah, I feel like they're there. Chemistry is so good that it
- 1:04:21it kind of off puts the awkwardness of those two characters coming together. Yes,
- 1:04:27they have nothing in common, right, And yeah, I'm glad they
- 1:04:30didn't do a romance because I think probably not me too. I think Ben
- 1:04:32and Cudy would have been like, we are not paying another romance. Absolutely
- 1:04:35not, but it would have. Yeah, it would be nice to capitalize
- 1:04:39on the natural chemistry that they have together, and yeah, put them on
- 1:04:43screen to because it's like people who love Fastcape are going to go, oh,
- 1:04:45it's two of my favors. Well, I mean there's even a Fast
- 1:04:47gape, give me one for that. But there's a Fastcape episode where they
- 1:04:49get where there's this love steam and they get horny and all the time.
- 1:04:55Oh yeah, that would have been cool an episode like that. Yeah,
- 1:04:58what I mean where they get just still the episode where they all body shift
- 1:05:02and like, you know, Claudia Black is impersonating Ben Browder. Ben Browder
- 1:05:06is impersonating called that's black and they do a great job of it. That's
- 1:05:11perfect. What's what was the time between Fastcape ending and like Ben Browder coming
- 1:05:18op? Definitely two thousand and four ended, But then I believe Ben Browder
- 1:05:28auditioned or you know, the role of Shepherd was written for him season one,
- 1:05:30but he couldn't do season one of Atlantis because he was filming Peacekeeper Wars.
- 1:05:35So that pretty fresh, pretty close. I think when Claudia came and
- 1:05:39did Prometheus Unbound, she just finished filming Peacekeeper Wars. Yeah, right,
- 1:05:45and that was Yeah, there was like from the time Fast Gate was canceled
- 1:05:49to the time Peacekeeper Wars got the go ahead was maybe a year or something
- 1:05:53like that, and then they actually sort of filmed. It could have been
- 1:05:56like a six month twelve months maybe, so like they're so fresh and work
- 1:06:00looking together all the time. They've had like a tiny little break and then
- 1:06:02back into it again. So yeah, like, yeah, that's really cool.
- 1:06:06What what did you guys think of the varlor on Daniel's lap scene that
- 1:06:12was that was Claudia's choice. Well, it kind of fitted her character in
- 1:06:15a way, and like Shanksy couldn't do much physically. It was a little
- 1:06:23awkward because when she gets up and walks away, if you look at it,
- 1:06:26Daniel, well no, Daniels, Daniel's legs aren't sitting straight like the
- 1:06:32way the chair is. He doesn't have a perfect lap. It's kind of
- 1:06:36down so I think, you know, Claudia kind of had to cheat a
- 1:06:40little bit. She didn't actually have a flat surface to sit on like she
- 1:06:42was kind of you know, she didn't downwards. But apparently her choice on
- 1:06:46the day and Annie Mchita was kind of a little bit nervous about it.
- 1:06:49But everyone liked it. So I can see how people would just be like,
- 1:06:53oh, she does that all the time, like she swings her legs
- 1:06:56on the table. Yeah, and she like like climbs off over tilk.
- 1:07:00It's not it felt very in character. The only person like she doesn't touch
- 1:07:03is cam Mitchell. Yeah, it's weird. Apparently it was written in the
- 1:07:09script. I think that she was going to be on roller skates, which
- 1:07:13they then well then they used that later on. Yeah, but yeah,
- 1:07:17why didn't they already do that with the waitress? No? No, no,
- 1:07:20no. Yeah, so yeah, but it was it was it was
- 1:07:25Claudia's choice to to sort of do it this way, and I think it
- 1:07:27was nice. But like I said, I would have actually preferred a Sam
- 1:07:31Daniel scene to a Vla Daniel scene. But I get it because Varla has
- 1:07:36the connection to Adre and all that kind of thing. But that's what I
- 1:07:41mean. Her character is very much intertwined with Daniel Jackson. It's kind of
- 1:07:46a yeah, speed bump for the riders. Yeah, they can't get around
- 1:07:50it, but my daughter at least mouth something something that sort of I always
- 1:07:58forget to off screen. The dead List was a part of this mission the
- 1:08:01whole time, because the Deadlist was hanging out in the Pegasus Galaxy and blew
- 1:08:06up the stargate, the little tiny stargate. We didn't see that, and
- 1:08:10we didn't see any of that. That was all done off screen because yeah,
- 1:08:14because Jack's talking to the Dadalust through the wormhole. Through the wormhole tells
- 1:08:18the Dadalist to detonate the Mark nine so it severs the wormhole. One thing
- 1:08:23that I thought, I know there was still I think one other because there
- 1:08:27was two prior ships. One Daniel used to fly through the supergate with the
- 1:08:31sun Graal and then it turned off. But then to me, that would
- 1:08:38have been the perfect time for the Odyssey to destroy the supergate and that would
- 1:08:44have stopped the ships from coming through. But I guess you could hide behind
- 1:08:46the fact that, oh, you know they couldn't fire weapons. Well it
- 1:08:48was cloaked, that's a Star Trek thing or something like that. But yeah,
- 1:08:54just like it would have been the perfect opportunity to destroy the supergate and
- 1:08:57then yeah, none of thosehips would have come through. They would have just
- 1:09:00send another supergate. But at least, yeah, we bought them time.
- 1:09:03They had to have got another beach head, found another black hole, all
- 1:09:08that kind of stuff, and that would have given us another opportunity to stop
- 1:09:10them, like we didn't Pegas's project. Yeah, yeah, I didn't even
- 1:09:13think of that because I was thinking about the Daniel thing and how quickly they
- 1:09:15came through. There is a weird yeah, because it was a weird fade.
- 1:09:18It was like they beam onto the au I bridge. I thought they
- 1:09:23were back in the SGC. Yeah, when Daniel was on when he wakes
- 1:09:27up in the bed, you think it's back this you see. No,
- 1:09:29they're still in the Odyssey. And that's when Carter says like, oh,
- 1:09:30you know, we can't turn the cloak off. They've just been waiting there.
- 1:09:33And I think in that time between when Daniel reset, like when Merlin
- 1:09:38left him and then it kind of fades to black and he's wakes up in
- 1:09:43the infirmary, I think it was somewhere in there where the other au I
- 1:09:46ship arrived and he's waiting for the reinforcement ships to come through. But I
- 1:09:50feel like, yeah, remember when Carter and that pulled up, there was
- 1:09:55already an ri ship there. Oh was there? That's what I couldn't remember.
- 1:09:59And then I think that's where Adrea came from. Right, Okay,
- 1:10:02yeah, okay, you didn't shoot or anything. It just the entire time
- 1:10:08didn't shoot the ship going into the wormhole. No, yeah, true,
- 1:10:12Oh that's right, we had to move out of the way. That's right.
- 1:10:14It moved out of the way while the other one was coming in.
- 1:10:15That's right. Yeah, And I thought because Daniel passed out halfway between that,
- 1:10:21and it looked like the ship was kind of going off center. I
- 1:10:24thought it was going to hit the go that would be interesting, which is
- 1:10:28fun. But yeah, that was a cool shot where it just disappears and
- 1:10:30they go, yeah that c G I was mad. Yeah, yeah,
- 1:10:33that's really good. And they do say in the commentary aur I ships are
- 1:10:39almost a mile long, because they're saying how it's really hard to jump onto
- 1:10:44conversion. Yeah, it's really hard to convey the sheer size of it because
- 1:10:50it's like we used to seeing the human size stargate. We can't, we
- 1:10:54can't. I was looking at it comprehend just how big a supergate is,
- 1:10:59because we don't know how big an Aura ship is either. But yeah,
- 1:11:02even is like I mean, Varala moved that cargo ship into place when she
- 1:11:08got But we also said, like the way they shot that back in Beachhead,
- 1:11:14Yeah, those pieces never would been able to fit through a traditional gate
- 1:11:16through the first place, because like a cargo ship can't fit through a stargate,
- 1:11:21I guess unless Yeah, those pieces were giant. They were like five
- 1:11:26times the size of a of a cargo ship. Yeah, so, but
- 1:11:30yeah, they converted in this episode, which is funny because Stargate normally,
- 1:11:34I mean, we still don't know how big Atlantis is, like you know,
- 1:11:38or how big a Dedalist class ship is or anything like that, not
- 1:11:41officially in the show at least. Yeah, but they said our ships are
- 1:11:44almost a mile long, So miles what like two point six kilometers or something
- 1:11:47like that, So I guess they're two and a half kilometers long or something
- 1:11:51like that, or is at one point six? Yeah? Have you got
- 1:11:56conversion dot com? I haven't. No, that's that's just a rough guess
- 1:12:00alash memory. I'll just jump on a conversion dot com. Just check out
- 1:12:04my length. Oh yeah, six inches it was last time I was generous?
- 1:12:11Sorry? Was it one eighth of an inch? What is it?
- 1:12:15Six six eighths? Six sixty eight inch TV and six eighth foot in,
- 1:12:18which is one point something inches. That's fine, So one mar is sixty
- 1:12:25three thousand inches? Great people, kilometer one point six one point three?
- 1:12:30Come on, slide down your bugger. I think it's one point six.
- 1:12:34All the Americans are yelling at one point six zero nine three four four sixty
- 1:12:39nine. So maybe it's like six zero nine yeah, so maybe it's just
- 1:12:43under a mar Maybe it's like one point five kilometers. Yeah, basically fifteen
- 1:12:46hundred meters long. It's a huge, bitch soword. It's fifteen footy fields.
- 1:12:56Oh god, just for the people playing it home lately, a Canadian
- 1:13:00football field or whatever it is. You know, there's that joke for Atlantis.
- 1:13:03It was from from Echoes Fledger Salics when they talking about the size of
- 1:13:06the Fledger Salice and they're like, oh, it's so many football fields and
- 1:13:10he's a Canadian or American Canadian football fields a bigger or whatever. That's what
- 1:13:15she said, Hey, did anyone thing was actually you mentioned before Mitchell?
- 1:13:18The da Vinci Code. They mentioned the da Vinci Code in this episode Anyone's
- 1:13:23It was weird at the very very start of the episode, like they were
- 1:13:27trying to talk to that town guy and they're like, oh, you know,
- 1:13:29don't believe everything you read and then references the da Vinci Code, which
- 1:13:32the town guy would have no point of reference for. Is that what they
- 1:13:36said? And then Vala starts defending the da Vinci code, which I'm like,
- 1:13:40he's just going to confuse that guy, going, so do I believe
- 1:13:42the Origin book or not? I was thinking the exact same thing, because
- 1:13:45I must have missed that line where he's talking about the da Vinci code.
- 1:13:47Is it a subtle thing? Did he actually say da Vinci cos? Yeah,
- 1:13:50it's like we have a who brought cam Who's No. I think he
- 1:13:54says we have a book like that at home. He was referencing the Bible,
- 1:13:58That's what I thought. But then Varla brought up the da Vinci code?
- 1:14:00Did she Yeah? Did she say da Vinci code? Something like that?
- 1:14:04Someone? You think in front of your playet, we're saying that book's
- 1:14:08got about as much truth in it then code that they who I do not
- 1:14:14understand. It's a book from our planet. It's very entertaining, but it's
- 1:14:17fiction. Nonetheless. Okay, I think we've gotten a little left point.
- 1:14:21Okay to me that, oh, I think we've got a little off point.
- 1:14:29That is a nice actual grab that, but yeah, just a little
- 1:14:32weird, like it's Vala being Vala. But it's just confusing the point as
- 1:14:35well, because you're trying to tell this guy that the Book of Origin is
- 1:14:39a piece of ship, and he's and then and then he's comparing it to
- 1:14:42a book on our planet. And then VALA's going, well, that book
- 1:14:44on your blney you're bearing to there's some truth in that. And it's like,
- 1:14:46Vala, you're not helping. No, she was talking about the DaVinci
- 1:14:51code. Yeah, mate, I didn't. I just missed that line.
- 1:14:55Yeah, sorry, cakes, That's all I got. That's all I got
- 1:14:59to Oh, except for I did like it that there was a quick little
- 1:15:01shot where Carter was. I think it was when Daniel's beamed up. Carter's
- 1:15:06like in command on the bridge of the Odyssey. I was like, she
- 1:15:09wasn't in one of the little chairs. She was in the command chair.
- 1:15:14Where's the guy? Not guy? But was we killed last time? Yeah,
- 1:15:18but they don't have a new one yet, not yet. Weird.
- 1:15:21Yeah, yeah, there there was no There was no like full bird colonel
- 1:15:26guy in charge of the the Odyssey this time. I guess because Daniel stole
- 1:15:29it. Is Landry higher than O'Neill, because it's a they said it in
- 1:15:35the commentary. There was because there was a stuff up. So in a
- 1:15:38couple of the scenes, Jackie is wearing a one star general like casual uniform,
- 1:15:45but he is a two star general. He's the same rank as Landry,
- 1:15:50but there's something about like operational command. So it's like, oh,
- 1:15:55yeah, like we're talking about on the ship. Yeah, so Jack is
- 1:16:00technically Landry's boss even though they're the same rank. Yes, but in the
- 1:16:08SGC, Landry has yeah in because it's it's not a direct line of what
- 1:16:16do you call it, yeah, line of submission, whatever your rank whatever.
- 1:16:21I just like to whenever he comes to the base. For the most
- 1:16:25part, anyway, he just puts on the casual where Jack like he's back
- 1:16:29at home and he can be a little bit more like, yeah, he
- 1:16:30has got this really important role in this there, yeah with you. That's
- 1:16:35why he still got the one star casual updated and he's Carter's tank top in
- 1:16:42ye walks in the Ring's got the sleeves pulled up, he's got the shirt
- 1:16:45untucked. He walks in that room because fellas like there's no just like soldiers,
- 1:16:49you know or anything like that, cannet's whatever, you know, that
- 1:16:53nothing you know, and then just walks in sub fellas and they're just like,
- 1:16:56well, better leave this guy just sort of like casually just walks in.
- 1:17:00It down on you. You look like you're a mechanic mane like you
- 1:17:02just sort of got the you don't look like you should. But I like
- 1:17:05the idea that I like this waiting. Yeah, I like that. It's
- 1:17:10a bit like da Like he comes back to the bass to the show and
- 1:17:14just like I'm back at home. If he could, he'd rock up in
- 1:17:16just like a Swede sweats was sweatsuit, like just the matching tracksuit pants and
- 1:17:24at just you know, orange Swede with the slazenger piping down something from Window
- 1:17:30of Opportunity. Yeah. No, I love this episode, really really good.
- 1:17:33Yeah, it's good fun. I just yeah, I think the only
- 1:17:36bad memory I had was I thought Daniel was bad coming into it. Other
- 1:17:41than that, Yeah, and with that, with the spoiler alert from before,
- 1:17:45it's like a really big important thing happens in this episode that's kind of
- 1:17:49a nothing from yeah kind of happens, you know, and and we don't
- 1:17:54really get a it's funny that and if you think about it, like if
- 1:17:57someone listened to the audio commentary, it's spoiled for them now, you know,
- 1:18:02potentially, like a year before Arc of Truth, everything came out,
- 1:18:05So get into gieg get into Gate, get into Gate Stargate podcast, Get
- 1:18:16into it now before it's too late. Yeah,
