Unsubing, because Stargate is a national fucking treasure and there is no sin in it.
-
At 5:52....the answer is YES, The stargates only work in one way direction. By turning it on you establish a one way (outgoing) wormhole that connects to a second 'receiving' Gate. Yes I'm an SG1 fan !
-
A lot of the "sins" are because the guy is not paying attention. For example, he goes on about why Jack was reactivated but the movie makes it obvious that they specifically chose him because it was potentially a suicide mission. Also, why would the characters "know" the gate would need seven symbols? Why would they go with six symbols and them try each symbol? The Stargate has more than seven chevrons on it. In the TV show Daniel gives an alien chocolate and says, "I met my father-in-law like this." :D
-
The tv series spinoff SG1 with Richard Dean Anderson, Michael Shanks, Amanda Tapping & Christopher Judge is so enduring and iconic. I love the show 10 years of wonderful memories.
-
Stuff did happen with the Gate since Giza - 1944.... Ernest Littlefeld. Never Forget.
-
Not containing Richard Dean Anderson... DING
-
Jack was recruited for the mission because the Air Force knew he was suicidal. They gave him a likely suicide mission and a reason for his death. That is why getting the job seemingly turned his depression around in an instant. Daniel calmly approached the animal because it had a harness which meant likely domestication. Both of these are revealed by watching the movie.
-
Sin 112 isn't him being fluent in an unknown language after one night. Sha'uri didn't teach him the language she corrected his pronounciation. He already knew the language but since ancient Egyptian is a long dead language on Earth, it stands to reason that his pronounciation may be slightly off.
-
You missed the sin for the movie with the most amount of gun cocking noises ever, even though not a single one of those weapons actually makes that noise.
-
The reason the people of Abydos look so much like humans - because they are humans.
-
3:07 "Remember when [O'Neil]... was ready to kill himself? Is the movie ever going to address that?" I'm so glad you asked that. They sent a dude with a death wish specifically so he could set off the nuke on Abydos while standing right next to it.
-
To be fair the wooly whatsitsface was wearing a harness, a sign of domestication.
-
If you're going to point out strings holding a model for practical effects, it might help if the strings were actually VISIBLE in the clip.
-
8:52 - "NO! Dangerous!" he shouted, snatching the rifle away from the kid and immediately pointing it at him with his finger on the trigger.
-
There was one thing I loosely remember that they put in specifically for linguists. Apparently Egyptian hieroglyphs are phonetic, but they lack vowel sounds. Which was the comment Jackson said after he learned how to speak. Sinful as this movie was, they did do some pretty obscure research.
-
6:55 "Darmok and jalad at tanagra" When the walls fell. Lolllll dude loved the startrek reference
-
This movie is definitely pretty sinful, but DAMN if it didn't launch one of my favourite tv shows of all time. Stargate SG-1 made up a pretty good chunk of my childhood tv-watching habits. I rewatched it recently on Netflix and aside from some technological differences, it STILL holds up, IMO. Plus... It was just so much damn fun. Richard Dean Anderson and Chris Judge especially. GOD, I just... Freaking LOVE Stargate SG-1. Idk man.
-
This is making me want to re watch the entire Stargate SG1 series again for the 5th time.
-
Love how he says "strings" showing a glider, but changes the scene so quick because strings aren't actually visible.
-
I don't care about the sins. I still love this movie.
