What Was CUT Out of This Scene (Dial the Gate)

[@StormsparkPegasus]

Did you know that Voyager did an episode with pretty much the exact same plot, just a few months after Beneath the Surface? Called Workfore. Same thing...crew is kidnapped and mind wiped. Receive regular "injections" to maintain the wipe. Tuvok reacts badly to it and gets his memory back and frees the others. Very similar to Teal'c in this episode.

Universe was Voyager. And Voyager was BSG. All great shows.

One of those rare instances where Stargate actually did it first!

@@GateWorldDotNet The odd thing is is they had to have been in production at the same time, because the Voyager episode came out too close to this one to have directly copied it. I have heard (but not verified) that both episodes were influenced by Metropolis. So in this case, it just so happened that SG-1 and Voyager happened to both pull inspiration from the same source rather than one directly copying the other.

@@StormsparkPegasus Yeah, I remember we were poking some fun at Voyager for copying SG-1 back when these first aired, but (for my part at least) it was tongue-in-cheek ... because they obviously had to be in production at the same time.
