Stargate SG-1 Season 9 Episode 19 "Crusade" REACTION!

[@chrisfraser5088]

So cool to see Michael Ironside in Stargate 💪

[@jayburn00]

Severts is played by Michael Ironside, a great actor. You have probably seen him in other things or heard him (he does voice acting as well).

[@randallwong7196]

Impregnated without copulation? Darth Vader.

[@Binary79]

"Actually I was thinking of King Arthur" "You were !?!?"

[@ChibiHoshiDragon]

I actually like that that joke was also the writers "hanging the lantern" to acknowledge their change because the virgin birth story is usually attributed to Merlin, not Arthur. Ambrosius Aurelianus is Merlin, not Arthur. The joke is their way of changing the story from Merlin enchanting Pendragon so he could sleep with Igraine to Merlin enchanting Igraine altogether.

[@jayburn00]

@@ChibiHoshiDragon there are so many different versions of Arthur in different legends there might be a virgin birth legend out there. Also in some legends, Merlin is the son of the Devil and a witch.

[@raifthemad]

I was surprised, they didn't use the most famous fictional one, Jesus.

[@ChristianAnstes]

I never understood for years why Teal'c said darth vader and watching this video tonight whilst cleaning the oven at work, the lightbulb turned on. I cant believe how i never realised he was referring to Anakins birth, im an idiot!

[@T.J.S.]

Darth Vader is a pretty accurate description 😅 More than Christ at least..

[@0LadyV0]

And Star Wars is a better story.

[@sadi5713]

wasnt he retconned to be a lab baby or something?

[@darnell2000]

hehe "kawoosh" came from online fandom (actually quite a few things on the show did, planet/character/alien names, random stuff they ate on screen, casting of certain actors, etc...,), we'd been saying that since season 1 to describe the flushing stargate vfx.

[@StargateFandomPodcast]

I'm always happy when Vala returns! I actually love how the Ori were introduced as a similar type of antagonist as the Goa'uld, but they raised the stakes and had a bit of a darker undertone. Stargate managed to continuously increase tension without going too far, like many shows of that era did. And thanks for these reaction videos!!

[@FMJaqenHghar]

Goa'uld ☝🤓

[@EvHervey]

I mean, that is one generous way of describing the Ori and the Priors. But OK... raised stakes, and increased tension... right on the episode where we find out Vala's "death" was BS. Interesting.

[@Cedrog]

@@EvHervey What do you mean Vala's death was BS? If you mean when she destroyed the supergate, they said at the end of the episode that they detected something that indicates she was transported to the Ori galaxy so we already knew she wasn't dead.

[@EvHervey]

@@Cedrog Right, it's implied in that episode and confirmed in this one. There was no risk of her death. No tension. At all. Earlier, Vala burns to death, only for it to be obviously, immediately undone. No tension. At all. This is why the remake of Battlestar Galactica made these last 2 seasons look so crap. A complete lack of stakes, and the difference between telling the audience that there are stakes and delivering on said stakes.

[@Cedrog]

@@EvHervey Well yeah that's plot armor, that's not different than the first 8 seasons or any other shows for that matter, especially during that time. It's only more or less recently that show takes more risks by having main character dying.

[@LordLOC]

Oh boy, almost time. I know plenty of people have said for weeks now how you are not ready for the season finale - but yeah. Probably going to be a fun reaction to watch :D The S9 finale is up there with TNG's Best of Both Worlds and a very few other season finales as incredible watches. Gonna be good!

[@Forbidaxe]

Ooh boy... Now we get to the meat 'n' potatoes, some kickass episodes a comin'

[@cypherdk85]

You are not ready for the season finale, one of the best ways to end a season. Also idk if this makes it to you for the season finale. But the Russian F304 will be called the Korolev, named after Sergey Korolev, the guy that was more or less the father of the soviet space program. So it is a name with pretty huge historical significance.

[@airmaildolphin7013]

I find that the episodes really pick up when Vala is on screen!

[@stanleywiggins5047]

The first time I saw this episode, when Valla was slapping the crap out of the bread dough with the big wooden spoons. I noticed the ryth "My sherona, by the Nack,!" It's quite distinctive, but you would have lived through the 70s 😊

[@Lokrion]

5:36 sounds like Vala is coming down with the sickness :)

[@therocpd]

Could you imagine if this episode happened now. 😂 the early 00s there was such hope of cooperation between US and Russia

[@cmudd9788]

That clinking of soldiers marching is the biggest plot armor in Stargate always alerting the team when an enemy is coming. The Goa'uld did it, the Ori do it and even the Wraith do it.

[@ChibiHoshiDragon]

Have you never heard a platoon of fully decked out regular troops pass by? You make a noise when you are marching in unison in your Cammies, your Jungle boots, the rifle over your shoulder, the Alice Pack on your back, the belt on with your canteen and cup, the extra mags, etc.

[@cmudd9788]

@@ChibiHoshiDragon I was in the army so yes, I have heard what of platoon of soldiers sounds like but security patrols around a facility usually don't consist of a whole platoon or even a whole squad. It's usually 1, maybe 2 security officers and they're not marching around making a bunch of noise. In Stargate it's done for plot armor. I'm not complaining about it. I just think it's funny.

[@ChibiHoshiDragon]

@@cmudd9788 A BDU wearer 4th Battalion Parris Island myself Security is MP/SF and are more police and have different rules and basic gear than infantry. I don't see Jaffa, Mask-wearing Wraith drones or Ori Conscripts as having a sub-policing force or other MOS, they are strictly ground-pounder military - peasants not knights. So they are going to sound similar to Ground Pounders specifically, not all of the military in general. I don't think they even have a corpsman/medic. They are all artillery/infantry. The Techs and other MOSs (Comm/Supply/Mechs/Admins/Intel/etc) are performed by a different portion altogether (Goa'uld/Long-haired Wraith soldiers, Scientists and workers/Prior) The lower echelons travel in larger groups and in their loud uniforms like peasants/infantry. The higher echelons don't have that (The worker or soldier wraith have their stealth and mind powers) and travel in smaller groups or alone. Semper Fi

[@brigidtheirish]

@@cmudd9788 Metal armor makes a lot of noise.

[@Doughnuts]

These videos are a part of my routine, love them! Keep them coming!

[@0LadyV0]

The Ori finale, doesn't happen until after season 10. The movie Ark of Truth.

[@jameshenner5831]

Season 1 is suspiciously like Season 9

[@Petrosman]

I'm imagining they first filmed Claudia Black and then added Michael Shanks acting like her, but man it looks so good when Michael Shanks plays people that aren't Daniel Jackson in this show. Good "clipshow" episode. Filling us in on a lot of cool details before the season finale. And that one is going to be a banger.

[@VolrinSeth]

It isn't even a regular clip show where they just show clips from previous episodes.

[@Petrosman]

@@VolrinSeth yeah I know, which is why I put it in "", but it definitely fills us in on all the important info before the season finale like a clipshow episode would.

[@AndyRoidEU]

Failwhale is almost there, just one more :))

[@Ragitsu]

Tomin looks like Nathan Fillion as Caleb.

[@poslednisoud]

Vala is back, space battle is imminent and Adria is on her way. Hallowed are the Ori!

[@Halesburg]

Shal'kek nem'ron to the legend Louis Gossett jr aka Garrak.

[@WatchwithMarcella]

Thanks for checking this out - love these reactions - will you be finishing Farscape? Every time I watch this season it makes me think of Farscape. I loved John and Aeryn and love seeing the actors reunited in some form here.

[@novakhin1642]

we got the orion? i have no memory of that video 😅

[@cmudd9788]

That's coming up in the next Atlantis episode. He probably just hasn't uploaded it yet but has already watched it.

[@novakhin1642]

oh really? 😶

[@Maddie-zv3gv77]

Good episode. Great guest stars.

[@jamesstewart8663]

Nice hair cut!

[@rccraig7580]

You wanted the Ori to step their game up and they don't disappoint in the season finale. The next episode will show just how serious the Ori are about their crusade of the Milky Way galaxy.

[@hemmojito]

omg I HATE these fuckin' priors barging in quoting origin. I was so fuckin' SCARED of these guys you don't even know "AND THE UNBELIEVERS..."😳 "OMG 😨just shut up, Stargate, stop terrifying me like that..."

[@Ragitsu]

Sam Fisher wants you to attend church on time.

[@writingcuriosity]

Man, i cannot wait for the end of the season.

[@VolrinSeth]

This a great set-up episode.

[@jayburn00]

Is the title an April fools joke or a typo?

[@failwhale34]

fixed!

[@jayburn00]

@@failwhale34 should have said it was April fools lol, make it look deliberate to see if anyone would catch it lol

[@nickcollins5191]

Hey Fail, can’t believe we’re nearly at the end! 🙁 Iirc you record these for Patreon, far in advance of when they’re uploaded to YT. I don’t have Patreon so I was wondering will you be watching/have you watched the two straight-to-tv/dvd films (Stargate: Ark of Truth & Stargate Continuum) which effectively wrap up the SG-1 show/story?

[@pezdispencer113]

You still have 2 movies after these shows.

[@Forbidaxe]

Season 9 Episode 19 fail, fail, failwhale34... Check out that title guys...

[@snoopy_peanuts_77]

I was so confused for a sec lol

[@Prushbinger]

pretty sure this ain't season 1 :D

[@Prisoner_849]

Good episode. Micheal Ironside is amazing even on Andromeda. All new Andromeda clips on my channel I think you will like them.

[@Maddie-zv3gv77]

Vala has not seen Star Wars. Darth Vader from Star Wars.

[@jebVlogs556]

4:55 this is not a uncommon thing even in the human world. our world irl.. theres a uncommon situation called "heteroparental" or heterozygote where a single child can have the same mother but different fathers, meaning the infant can have 3 parents during cell division.. heteroparental also happens if a mother has twins or more than one set of infants in a single birth,sharing not jst her dna but two different fathers.. #failwhale34 look this up,its a very interesting concept

[@that44rdv4rk]

Didn't Danny DeVito make a documentary about this with Schwarzenegger?

[@xadam2dudex]

Season 1 ? I smacked the like button but it smacked me back
