Transcript
- 0:00Okay, this will be a long one. It's a Viler episode. It's
- 0:05a Viler episode written and directed by Robert C. Cooper. We're gonna be
- 0:09here for four hours. I'm not just a writer, guys, I'm an
- 0:13executive producer, a story editor, and a director. I got some good
- 0:19I've also got acting credits. Matthew, guess who did the audio commentary for

- 0:49twenty three. We are talking star get SG one. The Getting a Gate
- 0:53team is here, Mitch. That's me speaking Maddie over to you. Hello,
- 0:58Daniel, see I'm switching it up. Oh hello, and I should
- 1:00we should have done that. You could be one of each and you could
- 1:02have swept personalities and Brenda has never been done before, had it really hasn't.
- 1:07But when we do it, when we do it for real, Yeah,
- 1:08that's all we'll do. Yeah, it's Michello part two. Oh yeah,
- 1:14but Cooper wrote it, so it's homophobic too. Okay, look until
- 1:19you I haven't even read of the synopsis yet. But until you said that
- 1:25a second ago, I did not read the credits when I watched this episode,
- 1:29I did not know that he directed it first episode ever he directs first
- 1:33of eight. I want to say, oh Jesus, yeah, okay,
- 1:37well, let's get into it. You actually read all of his directing credits,
- 1:40and I'm ashamed that I like one of them. As the synopsis reads,
- 1:47Vala reappears with important news. End of sentence, she learned that the
- 1:52or I have steadily been building an army and constructing a fleet of ships and
- 1:57planned to stage a massive crusade. Now SG one has left only with the
- 2:00uncertainty of their friend's safety and the doom they are soon to face. I
- 2:07don't need to tell you this, but I will again Robert t. Keeper,
- 2:08written and directed by first of eight episodes. Jeezus. As someone yes
- 2:17I've seen this before now I don't remember it, but as someone who's not
- 2:22a big fan of Volor that's been well covered on the podcast, this is
- 2:24my favorite Valor because she's still Vola. She's still there, sort of having
- 2:29a bit of a laugh, taking the piss out of some situations. But
- 2:32in this but not No, they haven't, not at the expense of the
- 2:39moment where when there was ship to go down, it went down, and
- 2:45she reacted accordingly rather than her being there as some kind of ill placed comic
- 2:52relief. Yes. The only thing that we didn't like, the only thing
- 2:55that she was holding up that we didn't care about was general Angry. Wanted
- 3:00to get to he's meeting, and she's like, I'd like some ice cream
- 3:05and pancakes please. Yes, yeah, that's fine because no one cares about
- 3:08generally angry or he's meeting. So I have a meeting. What you don't
- 3:13care about the aura galaxy? You daft prick? Yeah? I think she
- 3:17was to meet but when she came, when he came in and he said,
- 3:23he's like doctor Jackson and I have got to meet with the Chinese delicate,
- 3:27and I bet Daniel wants to see the chin, you know what I
- 3:31mean? The first date was wrought with danger and bugs. Pump a spring
- 3:38rolling if you know what I mean. Steam a dim similar too, pumpson
- 3:43more Hong Kong mattress A long what that itself was a throwback. Brennan said
- 3:49that the big wrap up the other Hong Kong Mattress. Yeah, I do
- 3:52not remember that. Get a bit of barnsay up here, mate, listen
- 3:55to case and for God's sake, is that a lyric stand. Yeah,
- 4:00it's like chorus isn't going to hit some hard calm mattress An. Nah,
- 4:09yeah, man, Jesus, thank you Barnsie. So um, Joe Melozzi
- 4:15just put a little dig in and talks in this episode Bad mutually hates the
- 4:18or ships then I'm sure M. Robert Cooper designed as well. You'll never
- 4:24unsee it now that I've now that you hear what I'm about to tell you,
- 4:27because I can't unsee it now, or I ships just look like a
- 4:30bunch of toilet seats bols. Yeah, yeah, yep, just a big
- 4:33giant toilet seats lying around in space. Yep. No, I can see
- 4:38that. Yep. Suddenly they've been Cooper to put all these scripts in and
- 4:43another one for you and for you here we go. I've got I've got
- 4:47a little bit of a present for your Brandon. Oh can't wait. This
- 4:50is Robert C. Cooper just talking about just being there, just being really
- 4:57you know, um, non eag artistical and just being really you know,
- 5:01demure about his his directing debut. Let's see what did I do on this
- 5:06wrote He's directed? Gaffed? I did some gaffing. Well, no,
- 5:13I did see a goal for craft service. Whatso that's true and handed out
- 5:15to the crew. Um, yeah, some some first aiding. Um,
- 5:21we had some fun. It was it was my first attempt at directing and
- 5:28it was it was quite an experience, just so interesting. And try to
- 5:35say, oh, I did some first aiding, first assistant directing for himself.
- 5:42That's that's directing. If your first assistant directing yourself, you're directing.
- 5:47Still. See, it's been a while since I've been on a film set,
- 5:51and the I produced my executive producing assistant director is kind of like the
- 5:57when I've been on there, the way that they use this particular the first
- 6:00and it would be incorrect, I'm sure, but like that person was kind
- 6:02of like ushering everyone to get into a place to be basically directed. When
- 6:08he said that, I was thinking second unit director, which is, you
- 6:11know, the person that might go out there and get all the establishing shots,
- 6:14shots of extras, you know, making up the shots in the back
- 6:16of the director. That's my first unit or second unit that say, like
- 6:21Robert, you can't be a second unit director when you other director that's just
- 6:26directing. But that wasn't what he was saying. But to be first sorry,
- 6:30yeah, first assistant director to himself. It's funny, like you got
- 6:36to be confident to I mean, I know the credits are there, but
- 6:38were like, yeah, I wrote it, Um yeah, I edited it.
- 6:41I wrote the score, and I did a listen and everyone got yeah,
- 6:44it was a shit episode. He's like, well, there's a lot
- 6:46of people spread the blame around to it's a team effort. Oh no,
- 6:50man, he's got something to do with that. It was funny because I
- 6:54started on the show as a story editor, and you know, I'd walk
- 6:57down the hall many years ago and really would know who I was, and
- 7:02you know, you're around long enough and eventually you just get promoted. That's
- 7:06just what happens. And eventually I end up in the corner office. And
- 7:10I'm not entirely sure when that transition happened from you know, people really not
- 7:15knowing who I was to people being intimidated by me. And so it was
- 7:19a little it was a little surprised to me as I started through this process
- 7:26a that people were at all even slightly intimidated by the fact that I was
- 7:30now going to be directing and on and on the floor, but also that
- 7:34you know, I was just a kind of a regular guy. I mean,
- 7:39I think people were surprised when I got into it and started talking to
- 7:43people about the filmmaking process that I, as an executive producer, kind of
- 7:47had an understanding of what they do on a day to day basis. And
- 7:51I'm not saying I knew everything. Obviously, it was a learning process for
- 7:54me, but I think it helped, you know, both myself and the
- 7:58crew to get a little closer together because we came to a sort of a
- 8:01more of a mutual understanding of each other's jobs. Can you underneath that whole
- 8:07thing in post? Can you just put that song? Sit down, be
- 8:09humble? Um? Like, the first thing that I hit my mind listening
- 8:16to that was all the complaints we've heard, either from his own commentary or
- 8:22you guys telling me about listening to the audio commentary where he criticizes other director's
- 8:28commentary, saying, stop telling them stuff they don't want to hear. Talk
- 8:31about the show, don't be fun and entertaining. Yet he's there spending That
- 8:35was a sample. I'm sure of a lot of minutes where's he's doing audio
- 8:41commentary about his director of debut, just talking about the fact that he directed
- 8:46it and like, what you do and I it's my first time. It's
- 8:50like, good, tell us how you set up that shot. Don't don't
- 8:54say this thing was a learning experience. Tell us what was the best learning
- 8:58experience? Yes, I get to this forty minutes of the episode left to
- 9:01go, but he just wasted two there or if that or if this shot
- 9:05was an example of a learning experience, but instead he was like, do
- 9:07you know people were intimidated by me? And it was so weird to find
- 9:11and ever, literally every member of the crew would listen to that going.
- 9:13Has anyone ever, Robert, No one has ever said that I know what
- 9:18all of your jobs are. All you minions on the floor, Yeah,
- 9:22I know what all of your jobs are. But by doing this, you've
- 9:24got an idea of what my job is. And remember seven years ago,
- 9:28Yeah, when we're sitting around this table and I said, there's this guy
- 9:31called Robert C. Cooper and well, you don't know about that clip is
- 9:37stuff like that that's edited down. That's me where I've cut out all the
- 9:41arms and ars and pregnant pauses and stuff like that, because otherwise it's just
- 9:45unlistenable. No, I was just going to say kind of off air too.
- 9:48There was a skit that they did on the Maddie John's radio show,
- 9:52which they did as a podcast, and they had buzz Aldron come in and
- 9:56they're going to talk to buzz Aldron and it's just like a long winded thing
- 10:01of just him talking and then and it was it was basically a skit and
- 10:07he's like, don't don't make fun of Buzz and then can he hear us?
- 10:13No, I turned you, I turned the mics off. And then
- 10:16like buzz is still talking in the background. Should we kind of just keep
- 10:22going with the show. Then yeah, just fade him out, and then
- 10:24they kind of let's see if Buzz is still on the line that comes back.
- 10:28And I really want to do that with Cooper, and this looks like
- 10:33a perfect episode to do it. So ye, maybe we'll get all those
- 10:35arms and ours and yeah, oh we're here. We got interviewing Robert C.
- 10:41Cooper. Robert, thanks for joining us. What's being the best things
- 10:43you've done on Star Game? And then that's a perfect startup. Yeah,
- 10:46because it's just like I'm executive producer or director, raid, I'm probably the
- 10:52best. No, I was just a normal guy. Was like azing and
- 10:58even if he were I was taking a piss where he's like claiming to do
- 11:01everything and it was all an ego thing. But okay, let's say he
- 11:05was taking the piss and he's like, yeah, I wrote and directed it.
- 11:09No, I did some first a ding and uh story or story words,
- 11:13some things I gaffed. I did some gaffing. And then the other
- 11:16bloke there says, oh, and you even need craft services and you handed
- 11:18out some food to the crews Oh no, Like yeah, even I would
- 11:24never do joking about what he'd be on the set. I won't even pretend.
- 11:30I can't even fathom making fun of the idea that I would feed peasants
- 11:35like and even and even it's petty, but it's even the way he says
- 11:39floor like it makes ye that like when like when I was working in retail,
- 11:43it's like you had you know, you had receiving st off at the
- 11:45back, and it's like and then you're on the shop floor and it's like
- 11:48it's like you know, when you're you're doing a live production, it's like
- 11:50there's the stage and there's backstage, like as furse, But the way he
- 11:54says it, it's like oh, just down on the floor, down the
- 11:56floor with the peasants for normal yea normally a normal guy. And yeah,
- 12:01like we spoke about it before, but I just couldn't believe that. Hole.
- 12:05That's just the whole opening gauge joke. Like, knowing what we know
- 12:07about Cooper being pretty homophobic, like then we've assumed that. Well, I
- 12:15mean, he's all signs point to yes. The audio commentary specifically said he
- 12:20felt uncomfortable with Jack touching Tilk's face because they were two men. That's a
- 12:26direct quote from the audio commentary for Lost City. Yeah it is kind of
- 12:31gay, um, but yeah, just that whole thing where it's like where
- 12:37like Mitchell turns o Cam turns around, and it's just like, you want
- 12:41to tell me something, Jackson, you give me the squirrely app Yeah,
- 12:45like Shanks, he was having so much fun. They're just, yeah,
- 12:46throwing each shoulder around and smiling and seat of like twiddling with his fingers up
- 12:50under his chin. And yeah, yes, of course I started with a
- 12:54gauge joke. Yeah, I wasn't really I didn't find that funny. Yeah,
- 12:58like like I liked what the actors were doing, but I didn't laugh
- 13:01for anything. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, it wasn't funny like
- 13:05it was just like it was like it was like you sort of go like
- 13:09amusing because at that point you don't know that it's Vila, so you're like,
- 13:11oh, yeah, Daniel, why is Daniel acting this way? And
- 13:15obviously retroactively, you go, oh, that's funny because it's Vla. Yeah
- 13:18right, because you know VLAs and Varla being a very sexual character. Of
- 13:24course she's going to enjoy walking through the men's chage room. You know whose
- 13:26shaves naked? I don't think gave and shaved naked at home. Well I
- 13:31think he was wearing a towel, but well the way he was, she
- 13:35was looking. They them, you're looking. It was mpm zzpm zz pms
- 13:43were looking. It was like he's as was right there. Oh I thought
- 13:46she was. She was more looking at the sausage. Maybe shaves brought him
- 13:50to Frank Dembean's Frank Dembanes, did you get the both Frank looks pretty fit
- 14:01though cam Ben Browders look. Yeah, definitely like that. I felt like
- 14:09I wasn't sure, but there was um a moment there where I thought there
- 14:15was a fast Scape reference here when when because violence. She finally tells one
- 14:20that she's pregnant, and then Cranton goes, who's the baby. I was
- 14:26like, that has to be a Fast Scape reference because I feel like that's
- 14:30the exact line in the movie, where's the baby? Who's the baby here?
- 14:33And where's the baby? Oh? I don't remember that, but as
- 14:37he say who's the daddy, didn't he say who's that? No, you're
- 14:39right, he says who's the daddy? But that reminded me of that because
- 14:43and then also that you don't know in Fastcape either. Yeah, true,
- 14:48Yeah, you're getting That's one for that use. I can give you some
- 14:56fast need to go through and find some I mean, the thing is,
- 15:01it's Cam and Vala, both the Fast get people cool. So was conta
- 15:09last? That doesn't matter? Oh no, because it's you, because it's
- 15:18you. Can I just say on that, Um, sorry, that what
- 15:22we were just saying about, like the flip and switch and why it's funny
- 15:26or if it's funny and stuff. I did actually like because I found myself
- 15:28during the I was gonna say interrogation scene, but it was just like her
- 15:33retelling scene. I'm like, occasionally we would go back and we would see
- 15:37the TV, you know, so we could hear both voices later over the
- 15:39top of one. That was great. That was a really good way to
- 15:43do it because then obviously you're having to watch both actors perfectly copy whoever did
- 15:48it first. The other one like that was all very chocolate ice cream on
- 15:52Daniel's nose too. Yeah, yeah, just for reasons. But I'm sittinking,
- 16:02Oh, I wonder why they don't use like Daniel Moore, And I'm
- 16:04like, oh, I guess if you you know, you want to have
- 16:07Claudia Black, you know you back that you want to probably use are the
- 16:15line where and what was I don't know whether it was the I'm pregnant or
- 16:18I'm having a baby or then I found out that I was whatever that was
- 16:23where they just used Michael Shanks. There was no double screen situation. So
- 16:27you're like Claudia Black, Claudia Black va la va la va la va la
- 16:30valla cut to the male actor going I'm pregnant, and it just was again
- 16:36not It wasn't some kind of weird pre trans joke or anything like that.
- 16:41It was just like, it's not even because the expectations. It was just
- 16:45ridiculous because you're you're watching for all intensive purpose. By that sage, you're
- 16:49so comfortable with the idea that Vala as a character and what she looks like
- 16:53was in that room. Cut to Landry or Mitchell or whoever come back,
- 17:00and Daniel Jackson says, I'm pregnant, and then it cut back to their
- 17:03confusion, and then it's Claudia Black going, yeah, obviously I can be
- 17:07pregnant. Why wouldn't that be? And only then at that point I'm like,
- 17:11oh, of course, that's weird because they're looking at Daniel. Like
- 17:15when I was looking at Daniel as a viewer, I know that Daniel's not
- 17:19really there, or rather she'sn't really there, that it's Daniel, but I
- 17:22didn't quite see it the way they were seeing it because they've only ever seen
- 17:26Daniel and horribly explaining it until that. That's a great moment, but also
- 17:30kind of not accentuated because Claudia Black is pregnant in real life. That's why
- 17:33the pregnant was written into the show. She was pregnant in real life,
- 17:37so unlike Carter, where they just shipped her off for six episodes. Yeah,
- 17:41they went, okay, we're going to build this into the show.
- 17:45Vala was, you know, immaculately pregnated or whatever. Yeah, she still
- 17:48did give, just not just not to get the baby. Yeah, yeah
- 17:53she got that. She got that specially got um. No one knows what
- 18:00it's biscuits um. But yeah, So it's like up until that point that
- 18:07hadn't really shot her belly, so you couldn't really tell that she was pregnant
- 18:11until they kind of yet quote unquoe hung on lantern. Yeah wow, okay,
- 18:15yeah that's cool. Yeah, so a little a little cup on that,
- 18:18well, I'd say quite a large cup on. Roberts Cooper's behalf with
- 18:22the shitouse riding is if you do the math. Now, the only time
- 18:26we've ever been to the Ouri Galaxy to those little towns has been Robert Cooper
- 18:32episodes because he wrote Avalon and Avalon part two and whenever that third one was
- 18:37where you know, Vala got burnt at the stake and the kind of stuff
- 18:40that was all Cooper stuff. And then this is the first time back in
- 18:45in the Ara Galaxy, and Cooper wrote and directed this episode. Now in
- 18:48Avalon, when Jackson and Vala are inside Harrod and Salis, he says,
- 18:55because there's the ancient writing on the wall that says this is the home of
- 18:57Harrod and Salice. Blah blah, you know the whole thing. He says.
- 19:00Okay, well, people in the Aura galaxy must speak ancient and the
- 19:03stones are translating for us. Well, Viola's physical body was sent to the
- 19:08our galaxy. Vala doesn't know ancient and she's just chatting in English with everybody.
- 19:15Cooper, what's that again? I wrote and directed and did everything about
- 19:21this episode. If it's perfect, it's because of me. Oh can you
- 19:26imagine churns out Vala gives birth to a bug. Yeah, that was weird.
- 19:33We sound like God. Yeah, that he's an idiot. The landry
- 19:42scene of annoyed me so much. Yeah, general angry, general angry.
- 19:48I need to talk to the German and Chinese consulate whatever it's like, who
- 19:52gives a fuck about them? Just say if you need to go, go
- 19:55mate. Yeah, because Daniel's been taken over by an alien entity. You.
- 19:59Yeah, remember when you had to go at Valor in like episode three
- 20:03or four, when she was still connected to Daniel and you had to take
- 20:06her to that meeting and she sat on that guy's lap at a miniskirt and
- 20:10said he had a lappinky. Yeah, so you don't want Vala to go
- 20:14in Daniel's body to this meeting. And so I thought, I honestly thought,
- 20:18because the way we've always used Valor, I thought, that is for
- 20:21sure what's going to happen. The reason why Landry now has spent three different
- 20:25scenes saying, Hey, I need Daniel to come with me. Say let's
- 20:30hurry this up and tell your story. I'm like, oh my god,
- 20:32we're going to get to a point where Vala is pleaded and instructed and begged.
- 20:37Please act like Daniel, even if you don't say anything, act like
- 20:41Daniel. And she's not going to help herself, and she's going to make
- 20:44some weird sex joke to the Russian colonel or whatever. That's where we're going.
- 20:48And we didn't. But I feel like any other time that we've ever
- 20:51used Valor, that's how we would have used her in this story. Yeah,
- 20:53so I'm glad I didn't do that. Well, the thing to me
- 20:56was why the payoff for him telling her to hurry out was just to jump
- 21:02ahead anyway, I'm pregnant, and they're like, whoa jump so far ahead
- 21:07and you wanted me to go ahead, and I'm like, that was it?
- 21:11And now he's fine with hearing the rest. Yeah, like, oh
- 21:15there might be a sleazy sex Storian And now I don't know, maybe I
- 21:22don't know if it was addressed in Avalon. But the whole reason Vala connected
- 21:26with Daniel is because it's like, oh, though he was the last one
- 21:30to use a stone, so that even though, but wasn't it Jack stone?
- 21:36Like he was Jack and ummer Joe. It was Jack and Joe's So
- 21:45was there a line about how between citizen Joe and Avalon they wiped the stones?
- 21:52And I is that correct? Maybe King far ahead? Otherwise? Yeah,
- 21:57otherwise theoretically I could have connected with Jack or Joe or Joe. Yeah,
- 22:03back cutting hair. Maybe he's got a job at Atlantis from last week
- 22:07he cut Michael's hair. They use the stones, wouldn't that'd be great if
- 22:17he was just the SGC butler. And that's what's happening. It's canting now,
- 22:26guys. I'm sorry Joe and his family he's left, his family's wife
- 22:29left him. He's like, I'm going to go work at the SGC and
- 22:32just now, but they told him that they told the wife remember at the
- 22:34end, but I mean, yeah, he was he got to taste the
- 22:37single life. He's getting paid off. Now he's going to be on the
- 22:42Air Force payroll, so the Mays will put him to work. He's got
- 22:45a pizza planet, has a planet. He's like, I've been I've been
- 22:48there in my dreams. I just feel like I want to go there physically.
- 22:51Um. So he spoke about General Angry and his whole thing with the
- 22:56Russians and the Chinese and stuff like that. This was set up back in
- 23:00Scourge with um bugs No, yeah, the check from Karate Kid and all
- 23:07that kind of stuff. And so now we get the payoff to that,
- 23:10knowing that the Russians and China have been kind of working together because if you
- 23:14remember back from whatever episode it was, the Russians own the Stargate and we're
- 23:18renting it off them. Yeah, we blew it up, we blew up
- 23:22ours, and they had the second one that they found at the bottom of
- 23:23the ocean after Nemesis and the replicators and all that kind of stuff. So
- 23:27we've been renting it off the remember Daniel had the whole thing was like,
- 23:30just come with it. You know when they had to rescue talk, wasn't
- 23:34it when he was stuck inside the gate? We need to d HD come
- 23:40with if you want. And then eventually we got the stargate as well.
- 23:42So now we'll obviously we find out at the end of the episode we basically
- 23:45we finally bought it for the cost of a three or four um. But
- 23:49this is a little bit audio I've been saving since scourged since the audio commentary.
- 23:53That's cheap, isn't it. I mean, how many billions of dollars
- 23:57to the three or four's costs? Well, and they probably sent five hundred
- 24:02billion to Ukraine. You're really salty about that? May mean we yeah,
- 24:08we're paying for it a bit interest rates. Well yeah, yeah, I
- 24:15get it. Yeah, like Australia has five hundred billion dollars the trillion other
- 24:21note from the Simpsons. Yeah, finally cash was it? Was it one
- 24:25for not to spoil anything? But it was like one for Russia? But
- 24:27China gets one too, So do we have to promise them both one?
- 24:30Or was it to get China to back out? That was just so Daniel
- 24:33didn't have to pay. This is from audio commentary from the Scourge of a
- 24:41wasted opportunity of what that whole storyline could have actually turned into. And again,
- 24:47maybe it would have been the show didn't sort of finish up next season
- 24:48if Cooper didn't write this, maybe this little conversation with shadows a bit what's
- 24:56what's upcome? What will basically happen in Crusade? You know? In that
- 25:00basically she's offering him, she's basically asking Daniel, you know what if the
- 25:03Chinese government was were the ones running the Stargate program, you know, would
- 25:07you, you know, would you still be a part of it? Is
- 25:10responsible? Yeah, if you guys are you know, if your aim as
- 25:12exploration, you know, you know, when your end goal is to sort
- 25:15of better mankind in general, of course I would be a part of it.
- 25:18And she goes, Okay, you know, I may hold you to
- 25:19that, and we kind of leave it at that, and then it's not
- 25:22Ni Crusade that we learned that the Russians have essentially lent us a gate the
- 25:26ranting us again, and they're going to take it back, and they've closed
- 25:27the back room deal to have you know, give the Chinese the Stargate.
- 25:32You know, it's sort of like, you know, Monday Night football,
- 25:33moving from you know, from what you know from ABC to ESPN, you
- 25:37know, and but also ideal to find out that it's you know, essentially
- 25:40the Russia was playing the Chinese against the Americans in order to get their hands
- 25:44on a new warship. But one of the story ideas that I've pitched out
- 25:48that I mean, we haven't really discussed and it may never come to fruition,
- 25:52is a possibility that unbeknownst to us, the Russians got the best of
- 25:56both worlds and using the Core left the space the battle cruiser that would they
- 26:00end up getting between the between the time they got it and Crusade, they
- 26:06essentially set up the Chinese in an off world base with the gates. Essentially
- 26:11there's a sort of an isolated Chinese base under the Chinese fire me that maybe
- 26:18we'll run across, you know, sometime in the near future, so watch
- 26:22for that. I mean, I would have loved that. I mean,
- 26:26we kind of did it with the NID back in like season two or three
- 26:30when they had that offsite team that Jack pretended to join for a little while.
- 26:36But I'm like that would have been cool, and I like a road
- 26:38groups one thing, and you know we're dealing with that and we have our
- 26:41issues with that, but I wonder whether like a different nation having I mean
- 26:48again that I listened to that, and I added to the list of things
- 26:52that we've seen along the way in this rewatch going that could be fodder for
- 26:59a new season or a new series that picks up in Canada ten years after
- 27:03or whatever. The idea that, yeah, Russia, China have planets out
- 27:08there that they've set up bases and they've colonized their running missions or whatever and
- 27:15research and finally some non white people doing some colonize I mean right like,
- 27:19and that we've never known about it because the galaxy is huge, and that
- 27:25we come across them and it's them. Now we've done it better, not
- 27:29just the NID, because they're representing you know, whether it be politicians or
- 27:32rogue government agents or whatever, saying we know we could be doing a better
- 27:36job than the SEC. Now we've got Russia, we've got China, we've
- 27:37got whoever else going. Now we could do this better than America and what
- 27:42that looks like, and further just proving no matter how far we've come technically
- 27:48advanced or whatever, that humanity is still so inferior to all these other races
- 27:53that you know, we meet the Asgard. How many nations are there amongst
- 27:57the Asgard. Yeah, Like we meet a couple of planets, one that
- 28:02you know, basically blew themselves up a couple of weeks ago where there's two
- 28:06nations and the focal point of those two episodes and line a Jonas's planet,
- 28:12right, Like, yeah, the in fighting in those planets, that's the
- 28:15focus on those stories to this episode. Yeah, right, yeah, and
- 28:18that those planets have two nations or two whatever that fight each other and it's
- 28:23like, if only they could be better than that, that's their only issue
- 28:26in this entire planet. Yet, when we focus on in world shit like
- 28:30this on the in the SGC or America has got to do dealings with Russia,
- 28:36got to do dealings with China. We've got a whole committee that's represented
- 28:38all of Britain and a bunch of other different nations that have got to be
- 28:44okay with what we're doing. The idea that we could that they could still
- 28:48not trust each other. They've gotten a ship so that we got to keep
- 28:51the stargate, but they're using that ship to allow another country that helped them
- 28:53get their ship set up different bases. We promise we won't ever interact with
- 28:57one another. We're just going to be doing our own things. Well,
- 29:00the Americans think they're the only ones out there sort of given freedom to the
- 29:03galaxy. What does that look like in ten years time where we show that,
- 29:07hey, we're still not progressed advanced, we haven't evolved enough to the
- 29:14point where we can act as a single species, that we're still in fighting
- 29:18because we know better than the other people. Like that's that would be an
- 29:22amazing thing to pick up on in ten years time, like postseason ten of
- 29:26SG one. Yeah, I mean, even though that's the stuff that you
- 29:30said, some of it has been cut out or can only be implied or
- 29:33whatever, but they could probably still if they were going to make a new
- 29:36episode next year, they could pick up on a lot of that. And
- 29:38just because we didn't see or hear a lot of it, there's still enough
- 29:41there to go and the building blocks are there that we could believe that all
- 29:45that shit did actually happen on screen. So there's nothing stopping Russia from just
- 29:51stealing a stargate from a different planet either and using it whenever they want what
- 29:56on Earth or they could in theory use it Earth. Well they did,
- 30:00remember, like and there was that problem where with Watergate, Yeah, but
- 30:03you just couldn't die. Yeah, they had the same they had disconnected or
- 30:07buried or whatever, so it didn't become the prominent one or so. But
- 30:11I think that's what they're in. What Joe was inferring there in the in
- 30:15that commentary is that Russia just you know, did an Atlantis expedition with a
- 30:19bunch of Chinese people, dumped him on a planet where there's a stargate.
- 30:23Yeah, that's their alpha site. They can't gate back to Earth, but
- 30:29they can gate to anywhere in the Milky Way galaxy and do all their own
- 30:32exploring. Yeah, and then yeah, Russia could be doing the same thing,
- 30:34and they have the benefit of having their own Dadalus class ship to do.
- 30:37What do what our Dadalus is doing is ferrying stuff back and forward to
- 30:41the Atlantis expedition, is they could be doing that within the Milky Way,
- 30:45which is dangerous enough if you think about it, Like, given what the
- 30:48Russians have been doing in the galaxy previously, it's a big leap of faith
- 30:52to be like, Okay, here's here's like the best thing we've ever made
- 30:56in the form of a Dadalus class ship where you go, Yeah, but
- 31:00that's what I mean, like the benefit of Russia stealing a gate from someone
- 31:03else's that they can use the stargate anywhere, Like you know how Popus did
- 31:07that in season one where he had to stargate on the ship. That's Gate
- 31:11two. Yeah, then we're on the ship where Russians could do that as
- 31:15well. They could ferry things everywhere, and then if they get close enough
- 31:18to a celestial body, they can gate places and gate back and even the
- 31:22right even the Chinese can gate back to the ship, you know, stuff
- 31:26like that. Yeah, I guess spends if they're that tech savvy, like
- 31:30they know the like, because obviously they don't have any real any real world
- 31:33experience in the Gate program, So I guess that's how much well they have
- 31:37the Watergate stuff, but yeah, that's true, that's true, So I
- 31:41guess. Yeah, it just depends on between that and the reports that they
- 31:45have been allowed to read coming out of the SGC, how much of that
- 31:48stuff do they know? And I wonder how they did bury it? Did
- 31:51they have a burial iris and a Normally there's just something through it, like
- 31:56a cardboard box. Yeah, push a carboard box through it, and then
- 31:59it's not gonna, I don't know, going to connect or just maybe that
- 32:02maybe it's on a hand or a hinge and it just folds down into a
- 32:07stone thing. I don't know. When they're not using it feels like a
- 32:10lot of work. Well, they're rushing the garage door, they're in a
- 32:15shed. They're in a shed the middle of a Siberia. Yeah, I
- 32:20just wonder how they do it. Well, it'd be like Origin that's just
- 32:22connected up to a big truck that they just get some jumper cables and yeah,
- 32:28away they go some magic vines. Um what often waste of Michael Ironside
- 32:36in this episode? I was thinking that up until and it maybe didn't get
- 32:40much better, but up until they revealed that he was a double agent essentially
- 32:46for the Resistance. Because we never see him again, that's it, right,
- 32:51okay, because yeah, he's just like yelling and I'm like, I
- 32:52believe this guy would be that guy that they're pretending that he is all yeah,
- 32:57but he would make good like occurring like Kinsey style character, you know,
- 33:02but like he's like a general or a colonel or whatever, or running
- 33:07a base. Remember um, Michael Rooker when he was in charge of that.
- 33:10Um, I mean he again only did one episode. Yeah, Michael
- 33:14Irons, you're talking about the guy, the main guy, the guy from
- 33:19like Star Starship Troopers, trying to recall he's in Top Gun. He was
- 33:24like the instructor guy in Top Gun. He's like you, Maverick, Yeah,
- 33:30legend, you know cool. So I knew I'd seen him in a
- 33:34million things. Yeah, he's in everything. Although it was kind of I
- 33:39was kind of lame that Cooper didn't like redress the bar set because that's literally
- 33:43just the bar from Kudatar, like a couple of weeks ago, like just
- 33:46exactly the same, Like don't even like narratively, I guess it worked.
- 33:53But where Valor explains to SG one and to the audience, Oh, I
- 34:00mean I went to a place it was so strikingly similar to that place that
- 34:05Daniel and I went to. I actually thought it was, but it turns
- 34:07out it wasn't. But they've got close connections to those people, so this
- 34:12looks familiar to you the audience, it's definitely not the same place the town
- 34:15is almost has the exact same name, just like three letters different. And
- 34:20if you haven't, don't think that they've got a feature in the middle of
- 34:22their town square where they could put someone that they're either going to burnt to
- 34:25death or leave to staff to death. You are dead wrong. I wasn't
- 34:29in Brisbane. I was in Schmisban. Yeah. It's funny how you telegraphed
- 34:37or had a premonition about that set. I remember the first time we saw
- 34:40that set. You'll be like, oh, I like the set. Get
- 34:44used to it, Yeah, get used. This episode does have my favorite
- 34:49prior though, This has got to be my favorite prior of the whole series
- 34:52that we see in this episode in that Shmrisbane village or whatever. He's actually
- 34:59were saying before when you mentioned Jonas's planet. He's one of the leaders of
- 35:02Jonas's planet. That's Commander Hale from he was in shadow Play and he was
- 35:07in Homecoming. They've just painted him up and he's a pry now, that's
- 35:10right. Fix can't pitch the ball? No, the ball? Yeah,
- 35:16yeah, the one with the eye, the prior with the eye and when
- 35:19he was in when he was one of Jonas's people. He was just like
- 35:22bald with kind of the ginger hair around the side. Command he was the
- 35:27commander guy, and like, yeah, nice, Yeah, I like him.
- 35:31He's a good he's a good prior, he gives, he gives good
- 35:34prior and yeah, the fact that he's just got a month at eye for
- 35:36no reason. Yeah. And from my memory, VAWA's husband, he he
- 35:45recurs rightly. He's around for a bit there, job. Yeah, and
- 35:50I give a little bit like Nathan Phillion vibes, like discounting Nathan Phillip.
- 35:52Yeah, yeah, he's short too, job. Yeah. And he's another
- 36:00guy that I've seen in a hundred things, but I always remember him as
- 36:04being the guy at the start of the first Blade film who who gets He's
- 36:09like the ex boyfriend of the other lead actress in that film, and he
- 36:12gets more because his whole juggular ripped out like one of the opening scenes.
- 36:16That's a nice connection given the Atlanta shoots on the Blade three set. Hey
- 36:20there we go. Yeah. Yeah. The reveal scene with Valor explaining her
- 36:24pregnancy and it's an immaculate conception. She's like, oh my god, have
- 36:29you ever heard of anything like this? And they're like, oh, yeah,
- 36:30we've got it. I mean there's a whole like religious sector. And
- 36:36then just till just chines it with Darth Vader. Oh, that shit flawed
- 36:39me. I was not expecting that because I was more focused on the on
- 36:43the trading looks between Carter and Mitchell and who's going to be the one to
- 36:47say, yeah, we've heard of one. And I'm like, oh,
- 36:50how much are they going to say about schmizers? And then he just drops
- 36:53Darth Vader and I lost my ship and then where she's like, oh and
- 36:58how did that one work out? And Tie for the first time ever had
- 37:00so much to say. He said, please let me talk to you about
- 37:04what happened, because what was just two thousand and six. Revenge of the
- 37:07Sister is already out. He can explain everything to you. He could explain
- 37:10the fall, he could explain the redemption. I do. I do.
- 37:14He was weird to give cam the line about Merlin and King Arthur and all
- 37:17that kind of stuff. I'm like, that's where you go like, oh,
- 37:21Daniel's not actually here. Yeah, yeah, even though his bodies here,
- 37:23he's not actually here. Because I'm like, of all the people are
- 37:25going to bring up schmiz, it's gonna be Cam, Ye Like he's the
- 37:29you know, talking about his grandmar and all that kind of stuff. Yeah,
- 37:31yeah, he's the most sort of He's not. I don't think he's
- 37:35a Bubba Basher, but he's the closest to a Biba basha you're gonna get.
- 37:37Yeah, respectfully, I don't know something I mean in the current of
- 37:44the you know who's available, Yeah, he would have been flogged with a
- 37:47Bible literally when he was a kid. Yeah. Yeah, well, I
- 37:52mean by that regard, you know what I say, Kinsey like, there's
- 37:53only one guard there, you go, you know, yes, you're right,
- 38:00But if the people available in the room in the room, I'm like,
- 38:01well, Cam's obviously gonna be the one that's going to talk about MS.
- 38:06I like, I like jeebius jeebus. Yes, if you're out there,
- 38:09save this one's Teryaki style. Yeah. I think I only realized toward
- 38:17the end of this. I don't know whether it's back looking at the synopsis
- 38:22or something in the booklet or whatever and going oh shit, this is the
- 38:23second last episode of the season. And it's good because there was that episode
- 38:29a few weeks ago where I just felt like Hey, what are we doing
- 38:30here, guys, We've got I don't mind like a filler episode, just
- 38:34sort of give us a bit of a breather between like the overall narrative of
- 38:37the season. But I feel like it was a real handbrake. And then
- 38:42two weeks ago, well last week on SG one this week and then next
- 38:46week not this week, and last week's not necessarily I don't necessarily follow each
- 38:53other by any means, but there's enough stuff that's been happening clearly over the
- 38:58last couple of episodes. We are that was planted there to breathe and breathe
- 39:04in life something and late in this episode, probably more in the in the
- 39:07finale, and last week was like part one of a trilogy in a way,
- 39:12like small or Large. There's been a lot happening behind the scenes over
- 39:15the last couple of weeks. A sudden the last big ore episode we've been
- 39:20episode eleven, which was the Fourth Horseman Part two, because then it was
- 39:23collateral Damage, which was the memory stuff with cam Ripple effect. Alternate SG
- 39:30ones Stronghold, I never remember what that one is, the ship with no
- 39:38no that's off the grid. Stronghold was um Pizza sex in the in the
- 39:44hospital bed, and then Tilk with the brainwashing. Oh yeah, that's yeah,
- 39:50I was thinking of off the Grid. Then you got Ethon, which
- 39:52is the destruction of Prometheus, off the Grid which is Barle again, the
- 39:57Scourge which is just bugs, and then Arthur's Mantle. So yeah, it's
- 40:00kind of the first big or I think since since the mid season, and
- 40:07it's funny, like, I know we've dealt with this problem with the with
- 40:09the gold before, but further sort of makes you laugh at the idea of
- 40:15the power of belief and all that sort of thing. With these guys that
- 40:21are lining up to be soldiers and man these ships to go and fight for
- 40:24these gods that they think are all powerful and can do anything they want.
- 40:30It's like, well, if they could do anything want, why would you
- 40:34need to jump into a physical ship to go and fight people that they could
- 40:37just destroy. With the thoughts, it's almost the equivalent of saying, hey,
- 40:40if you believe in an omnipotent sky balling, why do you have to
- 40:45go to a particular building on a particular day exactly and put money in a
- 40:49basket and they not go to hell. They kind of sprinkled something I forget
- 40:53the exact line, but about the rye and the need to be believed in,
- 40:59and it's obviously something we don't know yet about the Ori, so I
- 41:01mean first time, I mean anything, But no, I think Alan gave
- 41:06a little bit of information in Four Horsemen, of course he did, so,
- 41:08Yeah, he said they need they need the belief to give them power.
- 41:14They tell their followers they're going to ascend them, but then they don't
- 41:17because they don't want to share that power the belief gives them. So I
- 41:21guess it's sort of like it's a weird cycle where it's like they the stories
- 41:25around them. They don't need their followers to go and fight their battles for
- 41:29them. So the fact that these followers and these soldiers are going to do
- 41:32the ORI's dirty work for them should be all the proof they need that these
- 41:37all powerful gods are not all powerful. Otherwise they could just do that work
- 41:40by themselves. But by them going to do the dirty work and put more
- 41:45belief into the Ori, that belief is making the Oor more powerful and in
- 41:50turn making them powerful enough to be able to do more things that these believers
- 41:53already believe that they can do real world allegory. Absolutely, but they can't
- 41:59see it. The believers can't see it. Their faith blinds them. Yeah,
- 42:02I mean they should have just believed. And they saw that the ships
- 42:06were shaped like toilet seats, and yeah, like a guy wouldn't design that
- 42:08exactly. You know, I actually don't. I don't mind them too much
- 42:14that different. Like what I appreciate it is how unique they are. It's
- 42:16okay, we've spent eight years with triangles, now we're going to have circles.
- 42:20Yeah, they look like they're like giant Yeah like that. With that,
- 42:27I thought, oh, they're giant stargates. Yes, and that's what
- 42:30I thought when I first saw him. And I'm like, it doesn't make
- 42:32sense. Yeah, but that'd be cool. But also that does remind me.
- 42:37Obviously there's the revelation in this episode that there's obviously a working super game
- 42:39somewhere in the Milky Way galaxy for all these ships to be yeah, on
- 42:44their way, But you know the meeting is more important. Yeah, so
- 42:50bring Daniel back. Look, he is the most important, but this is
- 42:52the one that this is the most important part of the entire episode. Are
- 42:57performing one? I think I've ever heard you call that before. Really.
- 43:01Don't get me wrong. It's good. Yeah, and I heard that,
- 43:07And how is it that's really not been a thing up until now, Like
- 43:10obviously I'm doing a rewatch, so that word I've gotten news to from before
- 43:19this season. Yeah. I feel like it's like a fan fans created even
- 43:24they use behind the scenes to describe Yeah. They were like, I feel
- 43:30like there's like season three or season for audio commentaries where they talk about the
- 43:32yeah yeah, but they've never said it in yeah in the actual show.
- 43:37Yeah yeah, I think, which is yeah, which is what the joke
- 43:38was. When he's like, you've never heard that, yeah, not in
- 43:43the report and if if, if we were done, I thought we can,
- 43:47we can go out on I've got a little like a little extra present
- 43:51for you guys, given that you two have been to like film schools and
- 43:53stuff like that and know a little bit filmmaking. Just just Cooper and just
- 43:58his wonderful like just bellious. He's like, you know what, I'm going
- 44:00to direct things however I want to direct them. Now, there's a there's
- 44:05some rules apparently I'm told anyways to filmmaking into the way you're supposed to box
- 44:09scenes that apparently we broke here in in in or at least sort of walk
- 44:16to a dangerous line with and that in that you're you're really sort of supposed
- 44:20to pick a side, and you're supposed to match eye lines so that so
- 44:23that it looks that though people are i know, what to do at each
- 44:25other in the frame. It's kind of a little bit of a trick,
- 44:29but in this case we did something called splitting the eye line across the frame,
- 44:32which a lot which you know in One of the effects that that has
- 44:37is it kind of brings you dangerously close to introducing the camera into the scene.
- 44:44And you're always sort of very wary of bringing the camera into the scene
- 44:49because you're making the audience aware that there's a camera there. But in this
- 44:52case, that was a very intentional choice in order to bring the audience into
- 44:58the story, to make them feel like they were one of the people in
- 45:00the room listening to the story that Valo was telling. In fact, she
- 45:04almost you know, comes dangerly close to looking right into the camera on occasion,
- 45:08and that was a real choice. We kind of talked about whether whether
- 45:12it really works and whether it just makes you feel uncomfortable. There's an example
- 45:15of it or whether it, you know, had the effect it did is
- 45:20sort of up to up to the people watching to decide you're an idiot.
- 45:24I'm such a rebel. Apparently there's like things. There's like um laws of
- 45:31filmmaking that I know, but they told me later that you're not meant to
- 45:37break them. But I did it on purpose. It's like a kid rollerblighting
- 45:42and folds. Everyone tells you he'd meant that. James Cameron, who,
- 45:46Yeah, I don't follow these rules. I know what they do on the
- 45:51floor and it doesn't look hard. What a flug. It's a trick.
- 45:58It's filmmaking where you have characters looking at each other within the story, and
- 46:04you shoot one side for one actor on the other side of one actor.
- 46:06So it's kind of like if you put two TV screens together, it would
- 46:09actually look like two people in real world looking at one another, as opposed
- 46:14to just shooting the right side of the face of both actors, because then
- 46:17it doesn't look like they're actually looking at each other. What the are you
- 46:20talking about? Yeah, yes, you were dangerously close to looking in the
- 46:23camera. Well yeah, but she's a professional, so she didn't. What
- 46:29a idiot a talking about? All the other things that almost happened. Apparently
- 46:32there's apparently there's a thing in filmmaking where you do like a master shot where
- 46:36you're established the space so the people watching know where everyone is located at the
- 46:40scene, so when you cut into smaller close ups, you know where they're
- 46:45looking. But apparently that's a rule that I don't really. But the thing
- 46:49is, like, if someone fucks up and it's obvious to you or I
- 46:52that they actually instead of going back and reshooting it, they will mirror the
- 46:58image, like they'll flip the image vertically. They've done it in this show,
- 47:00like vertically. There's a there's a Jonas and til cupisode where they're both
- 47:05in a in a hammer in a Humby and they flipped Tilt. They just
- 47:08so they didn't have to reset the shot. Yeah, they just took Jonas
- 47:12out of his chair, put Tilk in it and flipped the image because you
- 47:15can see the Yeah. Yeah, then she looked really really close at is
- 47:21Emma on his head. He depends on the person's face if they're symmetrical,
- 47:24Yeah, like Michelle Fifer, you wouldn't notice. Apparently she has the most
- 47:30symmetrical face really. Yeah, interesting, which is nice because she's hard.
- 47:35I'm gonna movie on next week and apparently they've got a hat and it's her
- 47:37Hello there, hell here on the hat. It's got all the stitching on
- 47:42it, and then there's got little ears on it. I'm totally buying one.
- 47:46Whit dude, incredible. Every time I watched one of the movies,
- 47:52I'm like, man, yeah, although I was mad crush on that is
- 47:57it? Scarface? Yes, she's too skinny, yeah's way too skinny,
- 48:02unhealthily skinny in that film. I mean, which worked because she's supposed to
- 48:07be cocaine. Well that's true, yeah, crackhead, So I guess that
- 48:09makes sense. But yeah, fucking Cooper, it's just annoyed me. Now
- 48:15yeh officially hate this episode. Job joban was too short. That's the only
- 48:22thing I know. The other thing was the thing was to me. You
- 48:27know when um, you're talking about your mate, the the actor that you
- 48:30like who died or did he die forgot about that? Michael ionside? Yeah,
- 48:38Michael, I inside died. I don't remember that. You got shut
- 48:43was that on the cliff right in the face they went, they went,
- 48:46they left from the cliff and then went that's when they went to get the
- 48:52rocks whatever they oh yeah and put him into the pedestal thing. Oh no,
- 48:57then Aaronston could right and then they that's when they like shot it and
- 49:02yeah, but like lock the door, bro, or go upstairs or like
- 49:09yeah, put papla in a bedroom and it's a bar, it's a public
- 49:13space. Should be. They're like they're gonna be ages. Love the door,
- 49:19close the windows. Man, we look guilty if they come here in
- 49:22the door. It's almost like we closed. Yeah, we're supposed to be
- 49:27procrastinating or whatever. Maybe should do this during our off hours or something like
- 49:30that. When the bars closed, me your dumb asses. And then yeah,
- 49:36they all die, they all get shot by job and yeah because she's
- 49:40like they made me do it, and that's pretty good. Actually it's a
- 49:44good It was actually good bullshit. Yeah, she does think on her feet,
- 49:47and she took a mad gamble. I did the pride? Did the
- 49:52pride tell you that I was here and come kill me? No, Well
- 49:53there you go see obviously telling the truth. Otherwise I'm sure he would have
- 49:57done it, because you know, I wants my bell a all powerful.
- 50:00I do want to know, though, what what injury can you have that
- 50:05gives you Olympie leg but also makes it you incapable of fathering children, but
- 50:13also to like the prior just like just destroying dreams there. Like he's like,
- 50:20he's like, yeah, I guess yeah, interesting though that if you
- 50:22had a baby, yeah do you do you? What do you mean?
- 50:25Though? I don't want to be more I provid than this sort of thing,
- 50:28but you are not the father. But also what was the point because
- 50:32the prior knows that the ri were the ones that put the baby in there.
- 50:37Yeah, but he says that that's what I mean. Guys are so
- 50:39um just so let you know that. I mean, I cured that thing,
- 50:43but prior to me curing it, but so before the curing, but
- 50:46after you think you get impregnant. Yeah, it doesn't really match up.
- 50:51It's not your baby. And he's like what he is, Oh, don't
- 50:52worry about it though, Like it's totally it's a price thing the prize gate
- 50:54too. So I could have just told you that that baby was a gift
- 50:58from the prize, that's why you were allowed to have it, why your
- 51:00wife was allowed to conceive. But just that i'd thrown a little bit of
- 51:05spice and telling you that you're actually incapable of father and children to make you
- 51:09think that she cheated on you and lied to you. But we actually put
- 51:15the baby in there. But at no point does does that confirm to jobin
- 51:22that Varlin knew that she was pregnant. Yeah, and that's what she covered
- 51:28up. I think that was the best part of what she covered when she's
- 51:30like I was listening to that whole conversation to day, and I would have
- 51:32said to you, but I was just so shocked by what he said.
- 51:37But I mean, I guess this is just a gift from the area and
- 51:40we should just revel in their their wisdom and they're all powerfulness, and I'm
- 51:46like, oh my god, you're such a talented liar, because this dick
- 51:50is ready to believe anything that you were saying. That's what is annoying as
- 51:53well, because then the prime knows that, don't they know that she's an
- 51:59unbeliever. Yeah, because she came from the Milky Way. They know that
- 52:05means to an end at this point, I mean, I don't know.
- 52:07And then it's like, well, they know, But she's also like the
- 52:09woman who fell from the stars, Like in that town. Yeah, they
- 52:14don't know anything about her history. They just know that she was found one
- 52:16day in the rings. Yeah, but they so why would and then she
- 52:20found out the rest of the town thinks she's a heartlet from another Yeah,
- 52:22but then why would Like yeah, it was it was weird. It doesn't
- 52:27make any sense. We actually stop and think about it. Yeah, none
- 52:30of that makes sense. Yeah, why is she? Why is she pregnant
- 52:34because the pride, like the prize made her pregnant? Okay, fine,
- 52:38why why for Gerban? And like because it's like it's cool, don't worry
- 52:44about it, But then white white tell Joban and make Gerban suspicious of all
- 52:50I'm saying is you can get unprotected sex forever mate. And also the last
- 52:53time we saw Vala, she was on the rings on the cargo ship.
- 52:59Yeah yeah, and then they talk about how like the energy seemed to went
- 53:01out and potentially went through the supergate, which is what we know. But
- 53:06then she's found on rings on a planet near the supergate. But were they
- 53:14going to use that planet? Were they going to destroy that planet to make
- 53:16the wormhole? You know how like they have to like black hole black hole?
- 53:20Were they going to black hole that planet to do that and then failed,
- 53:23and then that's why she d up on that planet. So all those
- 53:25people on that planet potentially we're going to be dead anyway, No way,
- 53:30I don't think thought about that. She just showed up on it in a
- 53:36set of rings. Yeah, that's crazy. And they say they say Tomin
- 53:38found her in a set of rings, and she said that too. Yeah,
- 53:42like in the planes of Celestis. So I don't know whatever. I
- 53:45don't think it was. I think it was like just down the road,
- 53:49Oh look what I found. Yeah, she's my wife. What. No,
- 53:52I'm not gonna limp dick away from me. If if Claudia Black let
- 53:59me in her bed, I would just be like I would be yes,
- 54:00deering whatever she said. Well, yeah, but like she didn't have to,
- 54:07she didn't have to. But yeah, but she like why did she
- 54:15nice? Yeah? Oh that like she's just coming. She's like he was
- 54:20just he's just so sweet, so wholesome. Oh my god, everyone looked
- 54:27down on him and I was just like, no, he's better than that.
- 54:30So I speak English and then also just gives I'm rooted so many blokes
- 54:37over the last couple of months, and I just needed a baby daddy for
- 54:40he just gives such good like golden retriever energy. Yeah, he's just like
- 54:45a little puppy, just following her around. Maybe she maybe she did get
- 54:49knocked up like before she came back to Earth and maybe wanted to prys just
- 54:53oh maybe Yeah, maybe she was asleep and he just cosby and then Joban
- 55:00found her in the ring. I gave her the baby job it was the
- 55:07IRRISI guy, your balls don't work by and due, Yeah, that's what
- 55:12it was. The flame thing was cool though, where she's in bed and
- 55:15there's like the big fire, the fireface. Yeah, that was very cool.
- 55:19Was that a dream? Was that in the conception? Like, is
- 55:22that what that was? I didn't get that. I feel like it was
- 55:27a dream. But she was like impregnant in her dream, but we already
- 55:30pregnant by that point less scary way impregnant a woman. But again, they
- 55:34never say why they chose her. It doesn't matter. Yeah, it doesn't
- 55:38like out of anyone in that galaxy, they chose the Milky Way slot.
- 55:43Yeah, and it kind of would have made more sense if like they'd found
- 55:49her in Celeste, like when she transported through they found her yeah, and
- 55:53then left her on the side of the road at that at Schrisbans. But
- 56:00they they previously really impregnated her after she kind of woke up and was living
- 56:07in Smrisban's for a while. Yeah, because there was a while. Yeah,
- 56:09So how long has it been since the mid season when it wasn't even
- 56:15it was like episode six is when there was Beachhead, So there was a
- 56:19while. Yeah, m hmm, So it's been six months at least and
- 56:24she's only well doesn't doesn't spoiler alert at the end of next week or the
- 56:29beginning of season tennies when she yeah drops the sprogue so to speak. Yeah,
- 56:35one bloke said that to me once. Yeah, that's your child.
- 56:38Oh I know where it's going out high symbol fire flag spoiler alert. But
- 56:46the guy who's already seen it, Yeah, yeah, I remember, yep.
- 56:52Yeah, fish tacoy I've ever had in my life. God, because
