I love that, brings up the logic of; "if you're trying to create a diversion, then why would you assume if there was an explosion people would go running towards it?" Of course McKay would, he's too interested in the "what just happened" but also told Kolya; "I'm a coward, I'd help you if I could"
Also, his friends on Earth include General Officers, Scientists who respect him, Alien equivalents of defecting Generals and Spec-Ops badasses. That would help in developing the cool part.
Rodney McKay is such an awesome character and David Hewlett is the greatest ever playing him... SGU did bomb... but can we have another SG1 or SGA please!!!
Could you imagine if SGU had continued... Who would play Gold in Once Upon a Time??? If SGU had lasted 5 years... Who would be Melinda May on SHIELD??? Sometimes we have to see the good with the bad.
He's also the one that abused his ascended powers to meddle in the affairs of lower beings and the one that tends to go evil in alternate realities. There's a darkness under there, just waiting. It's part of why I like him. ~
He's my role model; not because he's enlightened, but because I don't ever want to find myself staying dead! Wait a moment! I forgot his death when he was portrayed by James Spader. So thats 19, all with just 17 seasons of Stargate...
He died SEVERAL times. In the movie - placed in Sarcophagus and resurrected The Nox saved him after he died Shyla saved him with a Sarcophagus ... The Radiation may have been the first time he ascended but it was not the first time he died. And if you count the times he was presumed dead and had a funeral - the fake death by fire by Nem - He had almost 20 deaths in 17 years
@@ChibiHoshiDragon There was a great convention video where someone asked; "how many times did you die?" Shanks initial response; ""Have you finished watching the show?" Apparently when he was killed off in "Fire and Water" it was Wright's idea of screwing with him, and he also states he died about twenty times in "that video game episode" so aside from being resurrected by sarcophagus in; "Stargate," S2E01, and "Need" (at least) well over twenty-three times and maybe closer to 42-50 overall
This scene really does show how far Daniel fell over the later seasons. I blame Oma of the Very Bad Philosophy and the other Ancients of How Not to be Enlightened. Also, if there is one room that you know people want to get to, you already have it guarded. The explosion diversion isn't to conceal that goal, it's to force command to split his forces by creating an emergency that he must divert bodies towards. Daniel's argument is wrong in every way.
It is a good diversion, but an even better one is to create a small explosion drawing them in then setting off an even bigger one killing those drawn in.
Actually, you're very nearly right by my count. 10 SG1s, 5 SGAs, 2 SGUs... Thats 17, but including continuum my 'presumed dead' count for Daniel is 18.
Those are SERIOUSLY annoying pop-ups for the Sci-Fi channel, they take up almost a THIRD of the screen!!!! Fuck cable, fuck broadcast TV, I'm going 100% on-demand from now on!
@RachelRJJacobs this kinda does put daniel out of character...I mean he always was the embodiment of moral and ethics on sg-1...hell he even died/ascended because he got himself poisoned by radiation in an attempt to stop a nuclear bomb from going off...
In the earliest seasons, yeah, but he hardened over the years. Let's not forget, even in the early seasons, he killed an entire tank of helpless infant Goa'uld even after getting the "if you kill him you'll be just like him" speech. Daniel's always had a dark side to him if you cared to notice it.
wow. i can't believe that. the ancients must like him even though he has been kicked out a few times. he is so gentle, but i dont like it when they make him carry a machine gun on every mission in the 9th and 10th seasons. that is just not his style. thats not daniel. in my opinion.
Daniel: Veteran of the SGC, general badass, acsended twice. Prob was the first earth human to sex it to a off world human. Mckay: expert on ancient technology, nervous, general alpha male at pulling solutions out of his ass. Has crush on lt col sam carter and a doctor who rrplaced his killed scottish friend. Who is better. Ill leave that to you
Empty suits... that are swaying in front of the camera, because the people wearing them aren't good at standing very still... and they couldn't just put the suits on mannequins for some reason
While Daniel is right that I wouldn't do anything Rodney does, this is an exemption. Setting off an explosion is a good diversion, especially if it's rigged so when the rescuers show up at the location there is an even bigger one to take them out.
No. Ancension does not equal death. It can however act as a form of resurrection depending on how long the subject has been dead; it even seems to have a shorter time-frame for ressurection than the sarchophagus and Nox healing powers do.
Having worked with O'Neill during the first Abydos mission and pre-ascension has only made him a snarky SOB, especially as he seems a good fit for telling Rodney "you idea sucks." At least with O'Neill and Carter he's able to appreciate their insights, McKay is more a condescending weirdo in relation

"why would you assume that if there was a massive explosion, people would run towards it?"
"well, i would."
"i rest my case."
I love that, brings up the logic of; "if you're trying to create a diversion, then why would you assume if there was an explosion people would go running towards it?" Of course McKay would, he's too interested in the "what just happened" but also told Kolya; "I'm a coward, I'd help you if I could"
ya if there was a n explosion in an area that could create more explosion then you would want to GTFO not run towards it
when did daniel become the cool one in the franchise? awesome
Ten years of military field experience.
marie laberge He was always the cool one!!
When he came back buff after ascending to a higher plane
He's been serving with the military for years so he's probably picked a few things up.
Also, his friends on Earth include General Officers, Scientists who respect him, Alien equivalents of defecting Generals and Spec-Ops badasses. That would help in developing the cool part.
The two fastest talkers in the franchise working together.
I still find it funny to imagine that the Asgards just put those suits right behind the door to troll them.
lol luv names for them ASS-guards ..........................
i though, still think of mcNulty's FBI insult
Am I the only one who noticed that the 'suits' were moving a bit?
+Lord Mark a liitel littel tiny bit
Like in a strong wind kite destroying littel bit^^
Nope you weren't
Those suits probably don't stand up on their own so they probably have people in them standing still.
Yes
Maybe they were placed under a vent.
This totally sums up SG1 versus Atlantis...
daniel and mckay are awesome together
Rodney McKay is such an awesome character and David Hewlett is the greatest ever playing him... SGU did bomb... but can we have another SG1 or SGA please!!!

I agree he played the character great. But McKay was a jerk. He blew up a solar system because of his own hubris.. lol
Before I watched Atlantis I did not like Rodney when I saw him in sg1 now he's one of my favorite characters in fiction.
@@dmclegg66 Same here! Rodney was an ass in SG1, but loved him to bits in Atlantis!
@@jordanmc9015 Flawed characters are good
I miss these days. 2000s and early 2010s were the best times for me.

8 years later, and I appreciate your ~
Oh yes you nailed it. Daniel's character really developed over 10 years and he has a certain darkness about him.
Daniel, go to your happy place
I love when Daniel says something, looks at the person, and walks away. ;) Love Daniel.
i hate when shows have such massive advertisements that block the show i'm trying to watch right now!
Yeah, the scifi channel did that crap all the time
Those suits were definitely moving.
Rodney's cowardice never fails to be amusing.
Bahahahahaha!!!!!! I love Daniel!!!!
...When they put him next to Rodney.
He's my role model; not because he's enlightened, but because I don't ever want to find myself staying dead!
Wait a moment! I forgot his death when he was portrayed by James Spader.
So thats 19, all with just 17 seasons of Stargate...
he only died two or three times, the radiation, and getting stabbed but a replicator.
he died in the movie also
He died SEVERAL times.
In the movie - placed in Sarcophagus and resurrected
The Nox saved him after he died
Shyla saved him with a Sarcophagus

Depends on where the explosion is, a vital enough area and the defender may have no option.
@@chrismartindale7840 That is so "Hunger games".

S05E11 "The Lost Tribe". It's the second episode in this story arc, the first being S05E10 "First Contact".
Thanks. I just got an appetite for rewatching this episode.
Daniel Jackson was best character in SG universe.

wow, that is a lot, but it never gets old. he dies and he comes back to life, hes Daniel Jackson.
Empty suits... that are swaying in front of the camera, because the people wearing them aren't good at standing very still... and they couldn't just put the suits on mannequins for some reason

That is terrorism 101, so anyone with half a tactical brain would expect it.
@@patrickmccurry1563 I doubt that. The first thought of those trying to keep order is to help those injured.

Some of my best friends are asgards? I never heard McKay say that before haha poor hermiad
No.
Ancension does not equal death. It can however act as a form of resurrection depending on how long the subject has been dead; it even seems to have a shorter time-frame for ressurection than the sarchophagus and Nox healing powers do.
Is that including the multiple times he was mortally wounded and had to use a Sarcophagus during the early episodes?
Bloopers, Daniel is like it's okay 1st time being alone fear is natural and no I was not the same way.
To be far the suits are moving
What season of atlantis is this from?
That was two weeks ago, I'd have to re-count... Ask me again tommorrow!
atlantis was so, so good.
There were pegasus Asgard?
daniel learns in prometius unbound when using krull worrior suit.
Not fair
Wow. I'm rewatching the series on season 4 of sg1... Daniel is ruder in further episodes. In season 4 he is so passive.
Amanda Hale he's seen some crap over the years.

One episode of what like the others? What others
