"Solitudes" - Stargate SG-1 - Season 1 Episode 18 - Reaction

[@gaara_of_the_desert1118]

"It's an ice planet!" talking about Antarctica. I love that shot at sci-fi in general where planets only ever seem to have 1 biome.

[@d.-_-.b]

This episode has one of the best outtake gags by Amanda Tapping. You can find it with the phrase "Stargate SG1 - Solitudes - MacGyver OUTTAKE/GAG REEL/BLOOPER"

"What happens when you dial your own phone number.....WRONG Person to ask..." lmao favorite line

[@wrorchestra1]

You need to see the outtakes from this episode. Especially Sam digging out the DHD.

[@pezdispencer113]

You cut my favourite line of the episode! "What happens when you dial your own phone number?" "....wrong person". Nono, people love this episode.

[@MegaReacts]

Added a short :)

[@Palladina]

I won't fight you man. This episode was just WOW! The realization that they were actually on earth is mindblowing! I watched this years ago but I still remember it!

[@MrTickleTrunk]

"General, permission to..." "GRANTED!" such good timing and execusion by the actors lol

[@LadyBeyondTheWall]

That exact part in Star Trek is ALWAYS what I think of when I see that part where Siler is like "It doesn't work like that, it's going to take 24 hours". 😂

[@Faye_L]

You always know it'll be a banger episode when it starts with a gate malfunction! Your wife and daughter are real ones. SG-1's soundtrack is awesome!

[@NCC-72545A]

This episode also enhanced the lore behind the stargate itself.

[@ohhhKay]

SG-1 has so many really great episodes, yet this one is still one of my favorites and one that I love to revisit! Loving your reactions!

[@alexmckee4683]

This has always been one of my favourite episodes. Great reaction, it's nice to see someone really enjoying SG-1. I hope you continue to react to the Stargate series right up to the end of S2 of SGU.

Somebody help me... I'm stuck on an iceberg with MacGyver

[@orthochronicity6428]

I don't think it's a fan favorite, but it's definitely a memorable one. I think about this episode about as much as any other early series episode. Such a memorable and logical twist.

[@bcsr4ever]

If only she had thought to dial to another gate...

[@walkir2662]

I'm not entirely sure if that also happened to me back then, but in some behind the scenes stuff I read years ago it said the entire episode was spoiled by the little TV program blurb in whatever US publication the team actually cared about saying "SG-1 is trapped on Antarctica" or something spoilerific like that.

[@StormsparkPegasus]

I'm fortunate. I didn't start watching the series until 2003. I actually didn't know about it because I hadn't had TV service of any kind since around 1993. But I was at a friend's house and they happened to be watching Window of Opportunity. I asked what the heck it was, and they said Stargate. I only knew about the movie. They gave me a brief rundown, about how it happens after the movie. I bought the entire series on DVD (everything that had been released up until that point).

[@hornorsilk2901]

I always loved the resolution of this one; always felt like a Twilight Zone like ending

[@hornorsilk2901]

You are not crazy. I always think of this one in the best of Season 1.

[@BabylonLurker]

Yeah! I love this episode. and the solution to the puzzle is .... Antarctica. Great!

[@PeppermintGlow]

I live for the stargate reactions

[@chrisfraser5088]

Love this episode! Another one of those great season-1 set up episodes that just so happens to have a great story as well. So…another Stargate on earth…hmmm 🤔😏 And I absolutely love that General Hammond personally went to get them. One of the best military commanders in tv history.

[@d.-_-.b]

It does kinda stretch believability that Carter wouldn't consider the possibility that the same problem that landed them there could be wrong with earth's gate and therefore logically she should try dialing at least one other gate address.

[@hornorsilk2901]

@@d.-_-.b she wasn't in her best mental condition...

[@chrisfraser5088]

@@d.-_-.b very true. That’s always been my one significant criticism of this episode. But overall, I always liked this one.

[@Towelgravy]

ahh damn. I saw that you had watched the first episode 7 months ago and I was thinking "Ahh great, I wonder what episode he is at now?" and this is it. If you don't count stargate universe, it's gonna take you about 20 years to watch stargate and atlantis. I can't start watching this series knowing you will never finish it.

[@MegaReacts]

@@Towelgravy I just finished 2x12 on Patreon. I watch around 4 episodes a month. I didn't make it a regular watch until I finished B5.

[@Colin4763]

One of the best in the entire run of SG1

[@StormsparkPegasus]

SG-1 grew the beard MUCH faster than TNG did. I'm not saying TNG's first season was horrible or anything, but it's nowhere near as good as the rest of the series, and it did take TNG until season 3 to truly find its footing. It took SG-1 like 5 episode to find its footing, and it was extremely consistent throughout the entire series.

[@Colin4763]

TNG's first 2 seasons were lack-luster at best. SG1 got it's act together a lot faster than most other shows.

[@miller-joel]

Just one problem. How the hell did Daniel and Hammond get from Colorado to Antarctica (8000 miles) AT THE SAME TIME as the rescue team from 50 miles away?

[@TheDanEdwards]

Conceivably the rescue team had been searching for hours before they found the cave.

[@miller-joel]

@@TheDanEdwards I'll say it again: 8000 MILES AWAY.

[@jeandiatasmith4512]

@@miller-joel Pshaw! That's only 18 hours by plane or 10'ish by fighter jet. LOL But maybe they have a set of rings, that we never learn about, installed on the ISS, then it's just a couple of minutes.

[@miller-joel]

@@jeandiatasmith4512 Sure, and maybe Scotty beamed them up and down...

[@StormsparkPegasus]

@@jeandiatasmith4512 Nah not during S1. It wasn't until S6 that they had their own ring platform, and then (later) Asgard transporters. Let's just say that the rescue team found them right away, but it took quite a bit longer to get the equipment out to the site that wa necessary to get them out of the cavern and stabilize O'neill. It could've taken as long as it took the others to get there to get all that set up.

[@AdamCollings]

Definately a great episode.

[@RyanBird24]

Hi mega, such a big fan of your comtent. Your watching one of my favoirite shows ever....... Been watching the stargate series since i was 11 or 12 but SG1 is da bomb... Are you gonna watch all the SG1 seasons?

[@MegaReacts]

I am. Currently on season 2.

[@RyanBird24]

@@MegaReacts i cant wait to watch it....... brings back such good memories. God i love old shows they are sooooo damn good.

[@Spriggana]

The episode is good, but man, Sam's troubleshooting skills suck. We cannot dial Earth. That‘s bad. So let’s dial some other safe, warm place to check if the problem is this gate or the Earth one… If it works - move to the warm place to continue trying, at least you ar no longer slowly freezing to death.

[@alexmckee4683]

She is injured. Besides, technical people often do get tunnel vision on stuff like this. I have, and I have seen my teams do it many times. She thought she was on another planet, she was focused on getting back to Earth because of O'Neills condition. Also they have no way of investigating the planet they dial, no MALP, etc.

[@catprog]

@@alexmckee4683 Could of gone to one of the already safe planets. But if it won't dial to one planet why would it be able to dial another planet?

[@jeandiatasmith4512]

@@catprog If it was the Earth gate that was broken, then another gate on another planet would work. If it was the DHD that was broken, then another address also wouldn't work. Just like the OP - it has always annoyed me that Sam didn't dial a different address.

[@catprog]

​@@jeandiatasmith4512exactly. In her mind the dhd is the problem not the earth gate.
