I can't believe Maybourne showed Jack his ball and then asked him to do things with his unit

[@steztoyz]

🤣 🤣 🤣

[@user-jt5vm3mi1w]

he only has one

In the Stargate SG1 Apocalypse trilogy we get to see an alternate timeline where O'Neill was NOT around to take this mission. It went VERY badly for humanity.

[@AlexMovitz]

That and the mirror to other timelines is what really makes this show for me. All this time you're watching the show, you're seeing the best timeline. You're seeing every time it went in the best possible direction, even with severe losses like Sha're and unexpected casualties Dr. Fraiser this is the best outcome. This is where we win, not the bad guys... but every single other timeline loses. It adds so much depth and tragedy to the series.

[@anonymousperson3153]

I actually got that series from the author herself. It's an interesting read.

[@WarGrowlmon18]

@@anonymousperson3153 Indeed it is.

Same thing with tng

[@TheBlackDeath3]

Hello, *Newman*.

[@FormerBunsenBurner]

I love how we went from the jury-rigged Goa'uld communicator to fully function holograms and spaceships.

[@1st2nd2]

It took time. Also, NID and its "offshoot" hardly had the best minds working for them.

[@tomjustis7237]

Maybourne was not an evil person. Misguided perhaps, uninformed without a doubt, self important for sure, but not evil. If you really watch, he was always trying to do what he honestly thought was best to insure the safety and security his country and his planet, even if he had to bend the rules to do it. Okay, maybe his country first, but he was career military. As the series went on, he grew, learned and eventually he and Jack even became reluctant allies when the need arose. Jack even seemed to give Maybourne a certain grudging respect, if not complete trust, at the end. That change and growth was why Maybourne was one of my favorite semi-regular characters in the series. As someone else posted, "He went from being the character you loved to hate to the character you hated to love."

[@danielyeshe]

This whole storyline bothered me in terms of the penalty for this off word operation. Maybourne and at least two others were sentenced to death for it. That seemed a bit much for what they did. I always wonder what happened to Lieutenant Tobias.

[@gg5115]

@@danielyeshe Well you have to give credit to them for portraying our military pretty accurately. And, sometimes our military will throw the book at you. It was plausible.

[@mikecimerian6913]

@@gg5115 Agreed, considering the stakes.

[@DisneyWizardYensid]

Daniel O'Donovan they committed treason, that’s still a death-penalty offense.

[@adventofknowledge]

@@danielyeshe Its because they jeopardised the security of the entire planet. Its one thing to put your country at risk that's bad enough but the off world operations but the entire species at risk because they were taking from the most advanced races in the galaxy (galaxies - asgard). If sufficiently angered, anyone of them could wipe humanity out in a single day. The risk is incalculable when actions are so brazen.

[@Jokie155]

Shame we never got to see Ba'al's ball.

[@realDys.]

@Cliven Longsight Three, maybe..?

[@Neo2266.]

He had ba'als of... well... himself

[@Turboy65]

Ba'al had way too many 'Ba'als.

As in, Bocce?

[@psfhellfire]

In a distasteful tone (1:46)... Hello Newman.... wait this this not a Seinfeld reference....?

[@Caseytify]

Jack is so sneaky...

Thanks

You're welcome

Hello... Newman.

[@eandvw1gle4]

Colonel Maybourne shows his ball 😳

[@GooglyEyedJoe]

"Apologise for having to return fire sir" - That line was always odd to me, because they never fired back at SG-1, they just ran away.

[@repatch43]

I honestly was always a little surprised that Maybourne didn’t figure things out ahead of time

[@doctornotprofessor]

the ball

[@Name-ot3xw]

That's what was in the briefcase for Pulp Fiction.

[@PODSMPSG1]

The only ball Maybourne has.

[@SheldonAdama17]

That’s what she said

Section 31 ;D

[@lvlc6023]

The begining of this section before the federation.

[@wetlazer2443]

I wonder if that thing picks up Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, the Cowardly Lion and Toto?

[@zamreda]

i see man at gou'ld ball is in atlantis episode condemm. when he is leader in prison colony at small island.

[@TheGreatGooglyMoogly430]

There's one thing I've wondered about the Goa'uld communication devices. How the heck did they get the image to show the back of someone's head? Does it continually scan your head and project the image? What would be the point? How does it know where to project the image?

[@maestroamonathan4279]

when technology is acquired humanity will have giant space transported ..like in starcraft...mine mine mine

[@saberiandream316]

SCV good to go, sir!

[@DaveSomething]

well that ball is not as amusing as Ba'al... may he RIP.

[@BobSmith-dk8nw]

Star Gate SG-1 wasn't by any means perfect but ... on Amazon - I've watched all 10 years of it at least 3 times. Of course - Amanda Tapping had a lot to do with that but she wasn't the only reason. They had no weak points in their cast. I tried to watch Star Gate Atlantis and ... after the first episode I was done. They had some good people in there but they also had some that ... while I watched a lot of it when it first came out ... not again. .

[@SecondSunofficial]

Give sga another chance, the first season is rough but the rest are amazing i promise!

[@BobSmith-dk8nw]

@@SecondSunofficial SG: SG1 had a 4 person team and all 4 of the actors were great. Of the 4 person team on Atlantis half of them were ... not anyone I cared enough to bother to watch. The problem with Torri Higginson (*sp?) was that while she was fine as an actress - she was playing the part of the General. So - the episodes weren't really about her. The did pick up some with the Arrival of Amanda - but she took Torri's place ... so ... that didn't help and they didn't know what to do with Torri ... I watched the first several years when it came out and ... while there were some really good people on it ... not enough for me to watch. Of course it's far better than SG: Universe. That was a politically correct bunch of crap. .

[@larrygill2223]

Atlantis was awesome! It got better and better as each season past. Truly bad ass moments. Sucks how it all shut down.

[@sentival]

@@BobSmith-dk8nw thank you... we have similar experience... i also watched full sg1 3 times... and regularly watch some fav episodes when i missed them... but for atlantis, ive tried... cant finish season one... I want to add one point. The villains based on mythologies are a plus plus point! Even with the ori, even not fully, they started with king arthur and merlin... That for me what is lacking from atlantis. Atlantis seems to be just like any other scifi without the mythology element. U know what i was expecting they will discover about poseidon or maybe entire greek mythology in atlantis. We already met cronus as a goauld isnt it? But that never happen. One time, i find out that they discover there are another asgard in atlantis but bad one, called the vanyr, thats not bad. but that only for two episodes i think. Atlantis such a waste opportunity. Universe? I cant even finish episode one.

[@demoniack81]

@@BobSmith-dk8nw SGA was great, afaic it was just more SG1. The team had chemistry just like SG1. Universe was terrible, almost everyone was an unlikable asshole and I honestly couldn't have cared less if they lived or died.

Misleading/Disappointing title

[@iPeter5]

Not if you've watched the series

[@SpectatorAlius]

When I saw the title, I remembered the old World War II song and found I could rewrite it easily for this snippet: "Maybourne -- he's only got one ball, Simmons has two, but very small";)

[@beccaberri]

Stargate is showing it's age, this Goauld Facetime device is a bit silly

[@AC-su6mj]

Its still FTL communications over (in some devices) different star systems... But yer it is abit silly -_-

[@andrehh2302]

Ow pls stfu would you

[@thestargateking]

Rebecca Duncan it’s silly why? You have to remember that Goauld technology is very much ceremonial In design, people masquerading as gods need to have things designed in certain ways that are less functional and more look cool and intimidating, think the staff weapon, highly inaccurate, meant to keep people in line not kill. The ball is just some kind of digital display with micro cameras imbedded into it, you could probably make something like it with modern day technology,

[@VideoAmateurLuxembourg]

@@thestargateking No. Our radio transmissions would take hundreds, thousands or millions of year to reach the destination depending on the location of the planet.

[@thestargateking]

pat1981lux this show has several pieces of technology that transmit data faster than light. One of them is how the show has its name.

[@kelli217]

That was a horrible effects shot at the opening.

[@eliesh3833]
