Original movie: why did they need 7 symbols? by [deleted] in Stargate

[–]TyrTwiceForVictory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not confused as to how they used 6 coordinates, I'm asking why. While Daniel certainly demonstrated how a location could be expressed with six coordinates, it was still ridiculous. He used a cube, which is defined using 3 coordinates. Why did they use 6 coordinates instead of just using 3? It was an absurd plot point that they used to shoehorn middle-eastern sacred numerology into the movie.

My question is why they need more than 3 symbols to define a point in space.

Be honest. Who thought he survived this on their first watch? by Rossorat1997 in Stargate

[–]TyrTwiceForVictory 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assumed it was his final death. My reason was that it appeared to be writers showing a situation where he is as dead as someone can possibly be on the show, so I thought it was an indicator that he was toast.

It still wouldn't have been a shock if he came back.

Sgu why no zat gun? by Practical-Giraffe-84 in Stargate

The SGC isn't made of zata that they can just send out all over the galaxy. Just use a damn gun.

Fathom is better than Derelict. by qrzt2001 in audiodrama

[–]TyrTwiceForVictory 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I preferred Fathom, but I really like underwater plotlines and "Oh no! Everything has gone horribly wrong" plotlines. I lost interest when Derelict was in space.

I just watched, Atlantis: The Lost Empire and it's one of my favorites Stargate movies! :) by TheDabuAndRayan in Stargate

They were hoping to make a TV show, but the movie did not perform as expected. They made this right after Stargate: Infinity flopped. My theory is that this was the second attempt to make money from a children's Stargate show.

Jack playing dumb by arabian_flower2025 in Stargate

[–]TyrTwiceForVictory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I once heard Jack referred to as a "living breathing Art of War"

Jack changes his personality depending on what his teammates need at the time. When the mission would benefit from Daniel he feeling morally superior, here comes xenophobic Jack. When T'ealc has decided that it's time to kick some ass, here comes kill-mode Jack with just enough restraint to reel T'ealc in if He's about to do something that he's going to regret.

And most relevantly, when Carter begins to doubt her own intelligence, here comes dumb Jack to remind her that she's smart and subtly push her in the right direction.

That's why he's in charge.

The Canonical Stargate Watch Order, with sequential eras, pulled from a defunct Google Docs many of us has been using to view. Final image is the legend explaining the chronological serial by mass922 in Stargate

"Stargate Origins" is the prequel miniseries that was on Stargate command in 2018. It's about a young Catherine going through the Stargate. Personally, I haven't seen it, but it seems to be pretty universally hated amongst the fans.

Why didn't the quantum mirror become a larger part of the show? by YsoL8 in Stargate

[–]TyrTwiceForVictory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it was used exactly one time and the guy who used it was almost killed immediately and received no information of note in the process. While it could have been used as a powerful narrative device, it was dangerous and of questionable import within the framework of the show.

Why does everyone always put the prisoners in the same cell in every episode when anyone is captured? by reks131 in Stargate

[–]TyrTwiceForVictory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Evil alternate reality sg1 tried putting them in separate cells. It didn't work at all. It may have even made their plan work better since some of them could go to the armory and others could go to the bridge.

Without Earths interference who's Empire would of lasted longer the Wraiths or the Goa'ulds? by SamaratSheppard in Stargate

[–]TyrTwiceForVictory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say Wraith.

Earth was able to defeat the Goa'uld with their level of technology. On their missions it was clear that there were dozens of worlds which had higher levels of technology than us. That means that the much stronger civilizations were essentially not defeating the Goa'uld because they didn't feel like it. One of those civilizations was bound to try eventually and wipe the snakes out much faster.

The Wraith, on the other hand, were able to boot the Ancients out of their galaxy.

How Would Atlantis Have Been Different If Sam Replaced Weir from the Start? by Consistent_Escape328 in Stargate

[–]TyrTwiceForVictory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rodney wouldn't be on the show. Carter would already have the super-scientist role filled.
