I mean to be fair coming up with unique languages for hundreds of episodes might be a little difficult. I like how trek avoided this problem by using a magic universal translator
They could have just made up some bullshit like that too. Like a magic goa'uld ear-piece or something.
I can almost respect them for just shrugging it off though.
I think the biggest problem with the language thing is that making every single episode start with communication difficulties would get stale pretty fast. They should have some up with an in-universe solution, but I don't know what that could even reasonably be.
Realistically, in this streaming age.
Would it be possible to grab an American cast and just film an entire season of a reboot show in Egypt?
They could use real Egyptian, locations, extras and villain actors.
The cast could even learn some broken Egyptian for realism as time goes on.
Is "every planet is Egypt" really all that much better than "every planet is Canada"?
I guess the Goa'uld culture would seems less silly at least if it wasn't just forest dwellers with golden plastic hyroglyphs everywhere.
But yeah, maybe put the plastic stargate on a truck and film in some other places around Europe too. Like Game of Thrones did.
>maybe put the plastic stargate on a truck and film in some other places around Europe too.
Now we're talking.
>Would it be possible to grab an American cast and just film an entire season of a reboot show in Egypt?
No. Because I personally murder anyone that tires to reboot Stargate.
>ep 1
>planet is a desert
>every other ep
>planet is Canada
Good thing they did a spin-off where they go to another galaxy where also every planet is canada
The goa'uld symbiote also used to be impossible to detect or remove.
And Zat's used to be able to just turn things into thin air with three shots, but they just pretended this wasn't a thing since it was too OP.
They also changed a frick-ton from the movie, but not sure that even counts as retcons. Like Abydos used to be in an entirely different galaxy.
It's crazy how many things changed as the show went on. Especially with the Jaffa.
>Jaffa started as a name for Goa'uld royal guards and changed to be the name for Teal'c's entire race
>they were originally given symbiote pouches only after being approved to become Jaffa worthy of carrying Goa'uld larvae, later their entire race was born with pouches and every single one needs a symbiote at puberty or they die
>Tek'ma'te was a title ("Greetings, Tek'ma'te Bra'tac") and then was changed to a respectful greeting ("Tek'ma'te, Master Bra'tac")
I've been marathoning this show and it makes a lot of these retcons throughout the seasons really apparent.
There was a lot of goa'uld funny stuff.
Like in picrel, in the pilot script he picked up the goa'uld symbiote from dead Jaffa before leaving through the Stargate (I think you can still see it if you look carefully), which is why they didn't discover the goa'uld in the autopsy scene.
>They also changed a frick-ton from the movie, but not sure that even counts as retcons.
It does because of how often the show references movie events.
my own theory to tie the movie and show together is that Ra is inside an Asgard clone and used technology to look like his OG human host to hide his better host from the rest of the goauld. the movie one has slightly different features so it could be a modified clone that can accept a goauld parasite. If you see what other humans they usually pick as hosts it doesn't make sense for the Main System Lord, the top G, Lords that rule by intimidation to be in a skinny little twinks body doesn't make sense.
That's a fun theory.
Easily handwaved by assuming the SGC started using armour-piercing rounds when they realised what they were going to be up against most of the time.
Would explain the switch to P90s too.

>Stargate (1994)
>gate symbols are constellations
>when they go to Abydos they're worried about being unable to figure out how to dial back to Earth because there will be totally different constellations
>they make a point of mentioning that the perspective of the stars from one planet to another makes a difference
>Stargate SG-1
>gate symbols are just symbols
>every DHD has the exact same symbols except for one unique home symbol
>Earth can be dialed using the same set of symbols from every planet and relative positioning doesn't matter at all
I know they needed to streamline things for the TV show, but it still prickles my autism that something so fundamentally important to the Stargate movie was changed so much.
You've also glossed over the general Abydos situation, it was moved from another galaxy to the Milky Way in the tv-show.
You're right, I totally forgot about that. They also changed the travel time. In the movie it takes several seconds for the MALP to get to Abydos and they follow it along its path, in SG-1 I think they say it takes 0.4 seconds on average.
That was just incorrect measuring system. Abydos was never in the kalium galaxy, it was always the closest Stargate
The original concept is pretty dumb too though, since constellations constantly change. The planets in the galaxy all move around obviously.
They programmed the computer to account for continental drift
The symbols on the stargate represent the constelations though, which would change over time.
Not very smart of the ancients.
Do they, though? Constellations seen from Earth move around a bit, by a few degrees in the night sky, but we still see all the same ones that people 10,000 years ago saw.
Would that even be a big problem at the astronomical scale? I mean we've had more or less the same constellations for thousands of years because the distances involved are just that immense.
>Colonel O'Neill, I'm NID.
>every alien planet looks like BC, Canada
It makes perfect sense that planets that support humanoid life would have similar ecosystems.
Maybe every alien planet looks like BC, Canada because BC, Canada looks like every alien planet.
do the goolds leave their front doors unlocked?
They don't even lock up their ring rooms when not in use.
>How can I keep the main character in the story without having the actor who plays him?
>You could have other characters refer to him all the time. Maybe get him on the phone now and then.
>Remember that time Colonel O'Neill was invisible?
I don't care what anyone says, the later seasons are still good.
i like how Michael Shanks was whining that daniel does nothing and left but then came back and became MC/rambo.
Michael Chanks?
>whining that daniel does nothing
What a weird complaint for him to have, he did plenty. Did he just want more action scenes or something?
Vala annoyed me at first but I warmed up to her later on.
I liked the last two seasons for the most part. I just wish the Ori arc ended better than
>they all died off screen lol
I just wish the Ori weren't such shit villains. That whole medieval Christianity thing didn't work at all with the rest of the series.
Mitchell fawning over SG-1 constantly really put me off of season 9. I wish they hadn't gone so hard on the reunion aspect, or that they just hadn't made his character such a pathetic fanboy.
WATCH IT TAU'RI
they were angry they only had 2% of the movie's budget, per season.
