RDA may have been the headliner of this show, but Don Davis's performance never left any doubt as to who was in command of that base.
O'Niell might have been in the spotlight. Hammond might have been in Command. But we all know that Walter was the guy who really ran the show.
@Thrashman Maxim 2 : A Sergeant in motion outranks a Lieutenant who doesn't know what's going on. (Followed by Maxim 3 : An Ordinance Technician at a dead run outranks everybody!) - the 70 Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries.
@@robertmartin9029 Don't forget Maxim 3 as well: An ordinance technician at a dead run outranks everybody.
Don Davis was the foundation that allowed RDA to flourish. A show Needs a good supporting cast or else it all falls apart, and Don Davis made sure it didn't. A

Maybourne got his butt kicked there.
My favorite Carter line in the entire show was "Maybourne, you are an idiot everyday of the week, why couldn't you have just taken one day off?"
Or, a line I used from Platoon I directed at a particular pain in the ass at my job once: Hey, take a break. You don't need to be a prick all the time.
That's in reference to the episode where the crab dudes started body snatching the SGC and making a beach head in Cheyenne Mountain, isn't it?
That was one hell of a line. 😆
@@charltonsticher3461”Foothold” is the name of the episode…..
I like how maybourne went from an idiot that jeopardized the stargate program to being borderline treason to... escaping to the Bahamas.
I rather like a similar line "look, you're new around here so we expect you'll make some mistakes. We don't expect you to abuse the privilege".
Gen. Hammond was the type of CO/boss you dream of having. He’ll put you in your place if necessary when you screw up, but will back you all the way when it’s warranted
And he lets the SG 1 crew run on semi-autonomy, only stepping when necessary
@@carbonwolf1087 A key element of leadership: know what the people under you are good at, and let them do it.
That was the most unbelievable part of the show, a US Army General who is moral, a humanitarian, and a good boss.
Its just to bad we don't have more bosses like him in the world, working would be much more enjoyable and less tip toeing.
@@agalgonzalez i think you mean US airforce?
That line at the end was only surpassed by "Son, do you know what COLOR this PHONE is?!"
I recall that line too
Evi1M4chine
Several I think
@Evi1M4chine S02E14 "Touchstone"
@@josephheiskell3493 yeah my favorite line was between Jack and Hammond when Jack said _"General I think you need to go up to your office and hit one on the ol speed dial"_ and Hammond replied puzzled "My granddaughter?" Also the fact that his granddaughter had the direct dial number to his office. a telephone in a highly classified government operation. That always made me smile.
one of my favourite lines was when hammond said that the usa isn´t in the business of getting into the affairs of other people
Oh, how I loved Hammond of Texas.
God rest his soul.
A very wise, a very bald man!
He was also agent Scully's dad in the X-files
He did an excellent job with his role, so did O-niel
Apparently at one point, there was a real general who guess stared on the show for 1 episode.
The general should have been immediately informed of Maybourne's entrance on the base. It should not have been a surprise. Someone isn't doing their job.
i bet they were hushed by force. maybourne iirc was a baddie.
Its poor writing. As highly classified and protected as the Stargate project is, no one less than the president and Secretary of the Air Force would be talking to the general about teams like this coming to the base. Also, that colonel would never speak to either Jack or the general like that. Writers need to get some knowledge.
@@lilithdemonia74
I understand where you're coming from, but that doesn't make for good drama. It can't hold the weight it needs to if it's too realistic. Stargate was always a little more Fi than Sci.
(Said with respect. I mean no offense. )
Lilith Demonia
They take some literary license to create a dramatic situation.
@@lilithdemonia74 Inaccuracy doesn't always translate into poor writing. If everything were perfectly realistic, the show would be pretty boring and it'd take months to get literally anything done through all the bureaucracy. When it comes to writing, sometimes you have to sacrifice a little accuracy for the good of the story.
TOLLAN: Let me move this table out of the way so we can pass through walls.
Lol! That's an awesome catch. I never noticed that before.
Maybe they should have bolted the tables to the floor to trip them up?
Was the table made outta wood? Seems advanced alien tech cant seem to do wood
@@autisticgamer4949 HA signs
@@autisticgamer4949 I understood that reference!
The part where the General looks DIRECTLY at the Colonel's empty epaulets speaks to my vet soul
To anyone else, was a slight glance, but to those who have served, especially in this case where a superior was not only addressing a subordinate, but reminding him of his place, it spoke VOLUMES!!
@@migueldelamata5981 You got that right. Anyone who has served saw how insubordinate Col. Maybourne was becoming because he wasn't putting "sir" or "General" after speaking to a Two-Star General. And after he refused General Hammond's order to go get billeted in guest quarters, it was definitely time to remind the COLONEL of his place as a final warning before getting a disciplinary smackdown.
@@davidedens6968 I never served in the military, but I caught that glance and understood the message it was sending. One of the many subtle but role-appropriate touches Don Davis must have drawn from his own military service.
Maybourne may have been the top dog at some fandangled intel section, but rank is rank. As Maj. Winters once said to Cpt. Sobbel "We salute the rank, not the man"
this comment made me laugh to the depts of my soul
Major General George S. Hammond - the kindest, most resilient man ever to grace the United States Air Force.
Rest in peace, sir.
The Cypher Rest In Peace, Hammond of Texas.
That balded headed deek denied a rescue for Tealc when he was about to be executed by the son of a father Tealc executed while serving Apohhis
Damn, I had no idea he was dead until I saw this post. RIP General Hammond.
*Lieutenant General
Damn didn't know he died
This moment is only surpassed by _"Supreme..._ commander"
That moment when an alien the size of a child(appearances can be deceiving) takes your ego down a few pegs.
and while our continued friendship with Earth is not contingent on that... it is _preferred_ "
I loved it how General Hammond threw his rank down on Colonel Maybourne. "That wasn't an invitation, it was an order... Colonel." That was the perfect mic drop moment.
With the brief glance at the empty epaulet at Maybourne's shoulder to drive the point home.
Also shows Maybourne's character he didn't say yes sir in reply.
5 seconds was all it took to leave 1000 words
General Hammond: "That wasn't an invitation. It was an ORDER...COLONEL!"
Don't pull rank on a stars! That will always end very badly!
Jeremy Martin rarely did Hammond pull rank, but when he did it was always great
Aye. He also told a senator to "GET OUT!".
Unless you have more stars...
The colonel fell for a classic blunder, assuming that the assignment he was given meant he had the rank of the one who assigned it.
Personally in terms of experience with stargate the colonel outranked the general
"That wasn't an invitation, it was an order, COLONEL."
acadlj "fuck you, Colonal"
Our general is a badass 😎
I love how he says that.
To be fair any officer that gives orders with "Why don't you ..." is being an idiot if they think that's going to be assumed to be an order and not an invitation.
@@imperialmarchinhumanbowels5726
Or they're enforcing the pecking order by being a smartass.
love how he double checked his rank, made it just that little bit funnier
Some of Hammond's best moments were when he was sticking up for his people against douchebags from Washington. The best one was in "Heroes" when he gets in Woolsey's face and just lets everything fly that he's been holding in for the last seven years.
Maybourne is talking to a General, show some respect.
Woolsey is then made to eat humble pie in Atlantis
Next time Woolsey and Hammond met, Hammond ended up helping convince Woolsey that Hammond and co. we're much better people than Kinsey and his I'll, which lead to Woolsey being an ally of the main characters of the show
To be fair. Woolsey was technically correct. And Woolsey was probably one of the few opponents of the SGC that was honestly just doing his job. He never had an ulterior motive for personal gain. And when he found out that he was being used for someone else's personal gain he switched sides.
@Evi1M4chine There is a difference between being duped into following orders, which you think are valid, and following order you know are wrong.
I felt Hammond's last line through my monitor.
Don Davis absolutely nailed his role, such a credit to the show.
It helped tremendously that Don Davis actually served in the military. He was an army captain before he became an actor.
Maybourne's character is definitely one that goes through a pretty intense journey over the series....
He was the the guy you loved to hate and eventually the guy you hated to love.
Made a great "frenemy" to Jack later on.
Those two together could have ruled the world. In a way, perhaps they did.
Yeah, he was a villain at first, and then became a "good guy". Richard Woolsey went through the same transformation
I guess becoming an enemy of the state brings out the best in some people...
Hate transforming to love can also be said about Rodney McKay through SGA.
@@KEVMAN7987 I NEVER got on board with Rodney being a protagonist. To me he was always that sniveling little rat who almost got Teal'c killed. Nor did I ever forgive Woolsey. Mainly because neither of them ever expressed the least bit of regret for their behaviors. At least they rightfully kept Kinsey completely hateable til his supposed death.
RIP General Hammond of Texas.
*Hovers hand over scalp*
RIP
Ah my teen years... So many hours watching this show...
so worth every minute!
Amen Sister/Brother!
@Trip Gil lol what?
Hello There
same here. I am now 33 and this was my favourite show in my teens. I've watched every episode and movie at least twice... just as you said, so worth every minute. Whenever RUclips suggests a SG video, always worth watching again
I love how he was looking at his rank and then said Colonel, I miss General Hammond.
It's the little and subtle touches like that an actor adds that make the scene powerful/memorable.
@@RogueDragon05 especially that we weak disrespectful non-regulation salute that he gave the colonel when he first walked into
@@PACKERMAN2077 Don S. Davis was actually in the military so you know that those touches were intentional and not just ignorance on the actors part on how to do it properly, a shame we will never seen Hammond again.
@@RogueDragon05 I Know, everything the actors did was so calculated, he knew what message he was sending Melbourne's way. 😢
0:41 Do you see how straight his face is?... you can't tell if he ignores you or if he wants to kick you in the face.
I wouldn't even have to say that. M would have gotten it when I first told him to go.
I don't think The General likes you trying to pull rank on him when he out ranks you.
my favorite part was he said "your out of your league" in the presence of one of higher rank.
PMW3 x2 rank actually.. He has allot of xp to get still...
u are playing in my ball park now kid
He leveled up quite a bit later, ya know. He is indeed King.
There's always someone in uniform who tries to intimidate higher ranks just because they have an important prerogative.
When the bird forgets that the stars are higher...
Wow. Beautiful. A bird can soar but stars are higher indeed. Well said.
Dear Colonel Maybourne,
My brass is bigger.
-General Hammond
Ps. It's a Texas thing, son.
Haha. Spoken like a true Texan.
so much in that last line of dialogue to break down.
"that was an order" *struts a little, examines the uniform of Maybourne and makes it obvious* "COLONEL!" the fact hammond is built like a house and towers over him. Great 5 seconds
When Captain America said "I can do this all day" he was talking about watching General Hammond.
If mcu followed real life protocol a man such as Steve Rogers would come out of the ice with the rank of General. MIA’s and POW’s advance in rank as they normally would regardless of their status.
"that was an ORDER, Popcorn Kernel" :)
@@2bituser569 Apparently, in the comics, he did advance in rank.
When the commanding officer is not the main character in a show like this it takes good writing and characters to make the dynamic work, SG1 had both in abundance
They made hammond so well in this. Besides episode one (vaguely) i always felt like he cared greatly for the people he commands but its nice to see him pull rank now and then
Agreed, it's kinda weird going back to the pilot episode and seeing Hammond written to be far more pompous and at-odds with O'Neill and Jackson especially. But hey, it's a wonderful thing that the writers were willing to take a different direction with him and chose a good one.
@@Jokie155 I think it was more because he was new. He was an outsider, once he got acclimated to everything you realized hes a great guy. They did the same with a number of characters in both Stargate series.
@@Jokie155 in an interview Davis said that the director of the pilot wanted the colonel character to be that way and Davis himself having served at the Vietnam war was not pleased with the direction of the character, but he had a 5 year contract with the show so he got his way.
Don S Davis’ real life experience as a CO really brought a lot to this show.
Don S. Davis is the most underrated actor... EVER.
One of the few times you can TELL how pissed off Hammond was.. because he doesn't usually take that tone with /anyone/.
You know, it wasn't until right before Davis died that I realized just how awesome a character Hammond was. Davis did such an outstanding job with him. I always liked him, but I tended to see him like you do all upper brass on sci-fi shows. Grudgingly necessary but generally in the way. Hammond was just the opposite. You really came to love the guy. Sad Davis died.
General Hammond earned the loyalty of those under his command. He wasn't just a CO, he was a leader.
I love how as General Hammond was saying "That wasn't an invitation Colonel" he looked down at Mayborne's Rank Insignia.
Don S. Davis is a deeply missed man.
I miss the guy who played General Hammond he was really amazing I liked him alot
Don S. Davis
He also appears in season 2 of NCIS. The episode Chained. The one in which Gibbs mentions that he's not letting Tony's mess up with Gibbs' not having an agent die undercover on Gibbs' watch. A squishy little bug(car). Also appears at the end of The Lost World Jurassic Park just before the Ship shows up at full speed.
No. Norway.
He was also in a movie about two kids and a polar bear cub in the Alaskan wilderness trying to find their father who crashed his plane. I think he played the sheriff.
General Hammond dropping rank like it's a bad habit! YEAH!
I love how composed and resolute General Hammond is while calmly napalming COLONEL Mayborne's plans.
"Colonel O'Neill. I read about your conflict with Colonel Kennedy in his report. I assure you, such an attitude will not prevail with me, in either direction."
"I sense that."
And right there was the beginning of a beautiful... whatever the hell that relationship was! Is "frenmity" a word?
I'd like to call it a "professional agreement"
chris parmly I wonder which Colonel has the older Eagle on their shoulders? If Mayborn then O'Neal will have to kick his ass; if O'Neal he still has that option or he can just ORDER him
@@clearingbaffles I think o nell but don't quote me on that
What does the 'in either direction' part mean. I have never understood that.
@@danielyeshe it will neither amuse him or put him in a position of opposition. As in he won't play the game O'Neill plays. But he winds up doing it anyways.
Quite honestly everyone who played anyone in this show did an amazing job. I really can't think of a single bad character.
Exactly! It is easily the most re-watchable show of any genre on TV.
Neben MACGYVER
@@ich8583 Are you saying O'Neil 's actor was bad???
@@spasjt was meinst du?
Ich liebe MacGyver und Stargate. Wegen RDA
@@ich8583 Ah, thank you, my mistake.
I love the accuracy of this. Always liked how much effort they put into representing the Airforce and the military system in general. And the uniforms of different branches were always on point,
Well they did have air force advisors on hand, plus they must have written it well enough that several seasons later they had an actual four star general I think make a brief appearance in an episode
@@CJR-wv8kc Yep, in the fourth season episode "Prodigy", four-star General Michael E. Ryan - at the time the Chief of Staff of the Air Force and therefore one of the Joint Chiefs - portrayed himself in a speaking role :D
0:48 what makes this so much better is the fact that, Richard Dean Anderson would ask the air Force advisors, if he was playing jack O'Neill right. They said that some of the lines he said where things that the air Force can't say, without getting into alot of trouble. I presume this is one of those lines.
I believe a Air Force general who was playing himself on the show said at one point, "We've got worse than Jack IRL."
Simply how this series got so far.
Mr Davis aka. "Hammond". RIP
You were the general of the whole Sci Fi era.
Coming from a military perspective that was badass. No way is a colonel going to to a two star general what to do.
@Stripey Arse 🤣🤣🤣🤣 No kidding.
You done fucked up when Hammond pulls rank :p
@Stripey Arse Kirk had a similar moment when another captain basically took command of his ship while he was helping another one. Kirk was not happy to say the least.
@@JnEricsonx And let's not forget Scotty pulling rank on a diplomat (i.e. Ambassador Fox) a time or two when Kirk was off the ship and had left Scotty in command.
love that. "That wasn't an invitation. It was an order. Colonel." ohhhhh the vitriol in that Colonel 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Don't bark at the biggest dog in the yard or you'll run away whimpering with your tail between your legs.
Absaalookemensch Don Davis would have loved that comment! 😆
The character of Colonel Mayborne gets a lot of hate; but quite frankly that is his role. Tom McBeath did a great job portraying a relatable and humanized "villain" in the context of the show.
The NID and characters like Colonel Mayborne give the show depth and integrity. Not all of the bad guys are stereotypical alien villains. I appreciate that self awareness in sci fi and as such think we should acknowledge and respect Tom McBeaths wonderfull performance and commitment to his role as antagonist.
Failing upwards.
Love that line.
ToomanyJ's ToomanyR's also that _I sense that_ was amazing
you know you dun goofed when hammond pulls rank
AnvilMAn603 cool
You don't tell a Major General that you're the boss when you're several ranks below him.
General Hammond only has 1 star on each shoulder. That makes him a Brigadier General, only 1 rank above Colonel. Still you're right, he doesn't take orders from lesser ranks.
@@detail11 Nope. 2 stars. You can clearly see them when he's "inviting" Maybourne to go see the airman about guest quarters at the 2:00 mark. The real clear one is far too high on the epaulette to be a Brigadier General's single star placement.
General Hammond doesn't let ANYONE pull rank on him, not even an Air Force Colonel! "That wasn't an invitation, it was an order COLONEL." RIP Don S. Davis aka General George Hammond.
I *love* the little glance down towards Maybourne's uniform that General Hammond does as he's pulling rank.
Hammond of Texas was, is and will always be my favorite Stargate character. Don S. Davis always put in such a powerful performance. I love how he rank checked Maybourne with that quick but power look at his epaulets and then left absolutely no question of who was in in charge. Ole Harry left without a word because he knew better.
I loved how Maybourne went from a character the viewer just hated, to a character you loved to hate, to a character that was just loved.
A very well done and believable arc the way they did it.
Always enjoyed watching Gen. Geo. Hammond use his rank so smoothly.
Right from the start you always knew it was going to end badly for Maybourne. But its good to be king.
I see what you did there :P
it's the way he looks at his stars almost as if it say "oh those are still there" before saying "Colonel"
"That wasn't an invitation, that was an order, COLONEL."
As in, until you have more stars on those shoulders, or you're on the other end of that red phone, I don't take orders from you.
"... talk about failing upwards" his lines are just perfect
I love the brief glance he gives to Maybournes silver birds on his shoulders when he said order and then looked him in the eye and said COLONEL
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."
i have the DVD and i still love this 59000 times later.
so well written
Don was so awesome in Stargate!
Ah, General Hammond... may you rest in peace
I miss this show so much.
maybourne started off as someone you love to hate, but he saw some truly incredible character growth.
I forgot how gorgeous Sam was, time to rewatch this show, after I finished Atlantis :D
GENERAL Hammond: That wasn't a request Colonel.
Right in his place. God, I miss this man.
2:09 I also love the small detail of *_General_* Hammond looking at _Colonel_ Maybourne's shoulder as a sort of "I'm PRETTY SURE"
I just love this scene
I'm not one to stan military hierarchy, but YEAH, you tell em, General!
Maybourne was such a great character. What a bastard lol. Good actor too.
HOW can you NOT love Col. Jack O'Neill?
Be Woolsey, Maybourne or Kinsey
@@johngregory4801 true lol
Now that’s a General I’d be happy to serve under. Hammond was a hell of a dude.
"I sensed that."
"Good."
Jack, to himself. "I just don't give a damn."
Thats right there with the "You cannot be serious." "Yes I can, I just choose not to be."
I don't understand how he thought that holding a group of people who's basic equipment allowed them to walk through walls was a good idea.
I mean if that was a rescue team what would an attack team coming to get there people back look like?
Victor Selve
I know, for all anyone knows they might have tech that'll render them invisible or some sort of EMP that'll mess up their technology overnight or something. What exactly were these guys thinking? I would've just sent them through the gate & tell them to help themselves since they're so advanced.
Victor Selve That was the chronic arrogance of Maybourne, and whoever he was working for/with at any given time, at work.
Exactly. With the fact that they're an ALIEN SPECIES, with advance technology.
sadly they got slammed by the goaluld and where never heard from again. maby some survived and where living with the nox
Gods, I loved Gen Hammon. "that was not a invitation, that was an order, colonel."
Old Stargate was great. Not that there weren't still some great moments later on, but the show just wasn't the same after season 5. The Nox and the Tolans were great, and the Goa'uld were still threatening. No human replicators, no "Ancients", no bad cosplaying, half-ascended system lords, and only a vague hint of the 'ascension' nonsense that infected the rest of the series. It had the right balance of fun adventure but still had a good score and a sense of gravity.
And Daniel had his hair.
I love General Hammond. He reminds me of a few of the Generals I served under during my time in the Military.
That was a very friendly way to order Maybourne into his room. The way he looked at his rank-signs and after at Maybournes was a super way to tell him: "Dont say a word - im General - YOU. NOT."
Don S Davis was a national treasure.
I was about to comment on this video, when I found another comment that I absolutely loved. Then I saw who posted it. One of the VERY few times I have liked my own comment.
Always loved Hammond's character...
Maybourne was also a great character and very useful in certain circumstances. But if he had a tail he'd be a weasel.
Maybourn was always a great character. He changed a lot over the seasons, but was always fun.
Ungh, one of the best Hammond lines, hell, one of the best Stargate lines, period. Absolute phenomenal acting by all concerned but particularly by Don S. Davis. RIP.
"Everyone willing to to volunteer-" -all the troops take one step forward.
Colonel Harry Maybourne was a great character!
I super love that Hammond very pointedly looked at Maybourne's rank. XD
Damn that I Miss this Show my friends. Thanks.
I love it when a general takes umbrage and pulls rank like that. Everyone steps back against a wall in full defensive positions! LOL
The way he looks down at his rank before he drops the bomb- perfect
Damn look at those keyboards i always forget how old this series is
They still used floppy disks until at least season 5.
To relive the stargate days
Best subtle acting example is when Hammond says, "That wasn't an invitation, it was an order..." glances at Maybourne's shoulder rank pin, "Colonel."
Best Show to ever exist ....
Don Davis could be the sweet understanding Father Figure one moment and a terrifying commanding presence in the next. Great Actor and a Great loss to Hollywood. He will never be forgotten
Loved seeing Mayborn put in his place. And even better, he knew who had more brass and he hated it.
Yet later on, I bet you got to like Maybourne.
@@SGtidbits No. Because once a rat fink, always a rat fink.
Imagine unlimited budged with that kind of talented casting!
Ladies n Gentlemen in today's exercise we will be talking about respect.....
That wasn’t an invitation, It was an order…..COLONEL!
2:07 One of his most badass moments.
Gosh I miss this show and the cast
The quarantine stuff now is pretty ironic now
The amount of sass O'neill oozes out of every pore... I can't handle it, it cracks me up! xD
