If these are the worst mistakes, kudos to the Stargate production team. There were special effects and multiple locations for practically every episode.
To be fair, I've noticed loads over the years, but always found them funny rather than a problem. I've forgotten most of the ones I've stopped though as it's been a couple years since my last rewatch
@@OppositeToUp It's time for another re-watch, then! Think I'll do it too, even though I just finished all Stargate Series like 2 months ago... just can't stay away
Stargate Universe was a wonky one, but I think it did have some potential. I didn't really like the communication stones though. Universe would have needed something more like Q from Star Trek than aggressive enemies. Something that was powerful and mysterious and you wouldn't know if it was friend, enemy or just someone goofing with them.
No, the biggest goof is Stargate: Universe. A huge expensive goof. Besides, the Stargate franchise was on its last legs. Whenever there is a long running series, it starts being encroached by the Terrible Two: *Overexposure* and *Running Out Of Ideas* , and the audience starts losing interest. As a producer you really have to know when to end a series on a big note, rather than just milking it over and over until it dies. Stargate: Universe should have never existed.
I grew up watching Stargate and now as an adult, I’m in the military myself. Absolutely love the show and I just want to say, Stargate SG-1 gets more things right than any other show I’ve seen. Most of the time I cringe at military shows or movies because they mess up too much for me to do anything but nitpick their mistakes rather than enjoy the show. SG-1 isn’t like that. I do notice goofs here and there, but the show itself is so amazing that it genuinely doesn’t irk me. That said, if anyone is curious what they DID get wrong about the military: They use cell phones 20+ levels underground, and in classified areas. They do not use code names for SGC, the Stargate, etc. and openly say those buzz words in public areas (Foothold episode where Carter meets Mayborne at a cafe). Hammond addressed Simon (who is a Master Sergeant / E-7) as “private”- the USAF does not have privates, they have airmen. And even if they did, anyone above the rank of E-4 is considered a non-commissioned officer. Another thing is their small unit tactics are not realistic at all. For instance, if you’re taking fire, you are not going to duck behind cover and then raise yourself up from behind it to shoot - you would position your weapon around the edge and expose as little of yourself as possible. One example of this is the Zatark episode, where Martouf tries to kill POTUS and Teal’c hops out from the gate room’s wall (which is concrete!! Ideal cover) to shoot him, fully exposed. Another example is their tactical movements on an enemy planet. They don’t move in a tactical formation or space themselves out correctly, so one enemy grenade could kill the whole team. They don’t conduct SLLS (Stop, Look, Listen, Smell) when they are knowingly entering enemy controlled territory. Their briefings lack a format (I understand why, the viewer doesn’t want to sit and listen to an Operations Order every time they conduct a mission, but just know in real life, it’s not like that). And don’t even get me started on Hammond’s salutes! But I will say, generally SG-1 got SO much right. I noticed in Season 7, O’Neill had to use an access card to get down to the lower levels of the base, which is a great detail. In another episode, they mentioned a non-disclosure agreement being signed prior to someone being made aware of the Stargate program - also correct. Their uniforms are also pretty good. I’m not in the USAF, so I don’t know what order their racks should be in, but the PLACEMENT looks really good. If it’s wrong, it’s not noticeable to anyone outside the Air Force. I also appreciate that they use ribbons instead of medals. Some shows use medals (which isn’t inherently wrong) or mix ribbons and medals together (which is wrong), but most people in real life prefer ribbons be because medals are so heavy. Anyway, if you were curious about seeing the show from a military perspective, here ya go. :)
My military experience [not in the US] consisted of sitting in an air conditioned room in the middle of a big city and providing tech support, yet I too was always facepalming when they got completely out of cover before shooting at the bad guys. There was one time when Daniel not only walked out of his cover but actually walked right up to a bad guy who had their back turned to him before shooting. What exactly do you do when conducting an SLLS? Do they stand silently and sniff around? And what's an Operations Order?
@@limiv5272 It’s essentially a short halt during movement to ensure no enemy are in the vicinity. So you’re just using the five senses to get a sense of your surroundings. And an operations order is how you receive a mission from higher. I’m sure it varies by military branch, but there’s a set format and a way you brief it to subordinate elements that SG-1 never followed. Which I’m sure is the thematic element at play, because the truth is it would make their briefing scenes SUPER boring haha :)
From what I know Hammond was former military. Maybe he did bring the salutes his unit used when he was in the military with him just as a wink to former members. From what I know some units do have a special signature details just for recognition. I can agree that some of the tactics might not be as you did learn, but at the same time it might have made filming more complicated. Another factor to consider is to avoid spreading some knowledge by intentionally getting it wrong since you don't know what alignment the viewers have. So far the goofs in Stargate haven't been really cringe level, the most cringe is time travel episodes, but that goes for any show since it's so easy to get things really wrong, just one single simple detail and you are lost. Just an example that's not SG related, Sweden changed from left hand traffic (same as UK) to right hand traffic in 1967, and if someone makes a movie / show with time travel and it predates the change and the cars drives on the wrong side for that era then it's a major goof.
SG-1: don't get me wrong, I love this show - But, I'm good with them ending it where they did. It's time had come. SGA: Would have been a neat story Arc for Atlantis on Earth and becoming the new HQ for the SGC (Since the Pegasus gates override older MW gates). SG-U: That's the real crime here. It was heartbreaking, as a viewer, watching Destiny go to sleep knowing that it would never awaken (the entire franchise has been canned.)
Well, with the movies SG1 had a nice ending, that's right. I didn't like the whole Ori plot anyway as much as the Goa'uld and Replicators plot. It finally had to come to an end. But without the movies, there really had to be a final season 11. The ending of SGA left us in the dark what's next. A final season or movie would have been very nice! But it would be a nice startpoint for a new SG series, too. Now on earth, they would have the time and resources to discover the whole city and maybe discover where the ZPMs are made. With a bunch of new ZPMs and the whole Asgard technology there even might be a plausible possibility for a crossover with Dark Matter. For example a parallel universe, where the alteraner never build any stargate (= Dark Matter) SGU, well... that's really a true crime. Same thing as it was with Dark Matter. I hope, we will get the answers somehow in a new series of Stargate.
After rewatching Universe, it shot itself in the foot. Universe should have had a much reduced episode count per season. It would have done much better with 12 episodes per season
I disagree. As soon as SG1 pulled out Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table garbage, they jumped the shark. Whenever any IP draws from the Arthurian legend, it's all downhill from there.
The most glaring one for me was SG1- Episode 1. Apophis and his guard come through the gate for the first time, then back out through the same open wormhole. As wormholes are only one directional,and the Goa'ld dont have remote diallers, this should have killed them all. Would have saved a LOT of Apophis hassle.
The gate does shut down in that sequence. What they never showed on screen was how the Jaffa managed to redial (though much later the writers introduced a device that does as much).
The 2009 version of the pilot fixed this issue. As SGC´s soldiers run towards the gate room, the dialing sound of the gate was added. Years later, a goa'uld hand device was showed that can open the gate, so that retroactively explained how Apophis opened the gate.
@@Pavel_M_Mihalik We also touched on this is a video on the script-to-screen changes for "Children of the Gods" a year or two ago. The original script actually had a visual effect showing Apophis using his hand device to reactivate the Stargate. It never made the episode.
What really made no sense was Apophis and Teal'c even being there. Apophis lead a multi-planetary empire, and Teal'c was the head of his military, yet it seemed they were personally handling every minor mission
@@limiv5272 That's just main character syndrome. The audience can't get to know a thousand characters so the writers have the same people handling everything.
"Windex" (lens) wipes probably. But yeah, that's the first thing I noticed when he turned the chair. Those damned things are littering TWO galaxies. :-)
My favorite goof was in Stargate Atlantis S1, The Eye. About the 2:18 mark, you can see the plants outside are blowing in the wind. But in reality, you just see a production set person violently shaking said plants. I like to think it was a random expedition scientist trying their best not to get caught by the Genii.
One thing I always notice in the earlier seasons of SG1 is that when they show the gate opening in the SGC they re-use the same CGI clip from the pilot and so some of the computers to the side of the gate are covered up from when the base wasn’t really in use
In shows like star gate and star trek, I constantly notice when actors hold things upside down, when props are used to stand in for multiple DIFFERENT things but can OBVIOUSLY be seen as something that was said before to be something else or when an object changes places. Its fun to look for things like this and i loved this video.
What's odd about that first one is the outer ring of the tattoo is consistent to the normal alignment where it thins out on the upper edge. The snickers bar could have been mackay pocket munching while he fiddled with stuff on board, part of his character was that of a bottomless snacker, and the absence later does come after the ark had been decompressed which is why shepard is in a spacesuit.
The tattoo applique was originally in two pieces (rather than the once piece you can see being applied in the video, which is from Season 8). So you're right, they only applied the center piece upside down.
Doing QC & working in post production for over 40 years, I can tell you that every one of these was most likely caught...& they left it due to the cost to fix it. Common every day occurrence...more nowadays with remote digital workspaces...getting unconnected and messy, fast. Also, like in the old Disney days, we did stuff on purpose...for fun...😁
My favourite didn’t make the list - RDA apparently caught reading his script, which is sitting on top of a crate on Apophis’ shop in the season 1 finale, and trying to stow it away and suppress a grin knowing it may have been seen.
the thing that I always notice is occasionally props bump against a solid object like a wall or floor, and you can see them reverberate while being held. The staff weapons were the standouts, they'd wiggle like crazy anytime they were filmed hitting the ground. but hey nobody wants to haul around a giant metal staff!
That's a classic boo-boo. I remember, as a kid, watching a scene in Hercules (with Kevin Sorbo) where he throws a dude against a cave wall and you can see the bottom of the 8ft wall prop literally tip over and create a 1 foot gap. I think that is the exact point in my life when I started looking for errors like that in tv/movies... I can't watch stuff these days without looking for things like reflections/shadows, items that shouldn't be there, continuity errors, wardrobe mistakes etc.
There were a couple episodes where the characters bump up against some "boulders" and the boulder actually shakes and moves. Takes one hell of a strong and heavy person to shake 1 or 2 tonne boulders just by leaning on it.
in the episode "bane" when they arrive on the deserted world full of bugs at the start, they show a shot of the alien "city" (looks to be a university campus). look closely and you'll see a busy highway far on the horizon with rows of cars streaming along it. this one is my favourite goof and nobody ever noticed it!
I am on the last season of SG1 just finished episode 7 last night. The show is just as good now as it was when it first came out, grew up watching it and wow still great. To bad most shows these days will not hold up like many of the 90s and early to mid 00s shows still do now.
This video was lovely. Hungarian fans noticed plenty of errors. Here are some of my favorites : 1. "200" - They used the SG-1's prop gate at the end of the episode instead of the Wormhole X-treme gate. 2. "Death knell" - When the team comes to rescue Carter the gate is upside down so the transparent wormhole effect should have been used like the back part of the wormhole. 3. "The Return" - Atlantis and MW gates have 8 chevrons at the Midway station animation. Similar two glyph sided gates were in the "Inferno" too when the gate has fallen into the lava. They had the same error in Moebius when the MW gate is lowered and McKay and Carter watched in the gate room. 8 chevron P gate was crrated as vfx error in the Asuran satellite at "First Strike" 4. "Seizure" - The MW gate had way too many repeated glyphs on Langara on SGU. I believe the MW gate set was sold at this stage so they had only some part of it and they had to add digitally the glyphs. 5. "Serpent's lair" - Script was left on the sarcophagus when they talk to Bra'tac. csillagkapu.hu/kep.php?kep=kepek.csillagkapu.hu/hiba/2x01/03.jpg 6. "Thor's Hammer" vs Thor's Chariot - there are trees around the gate while it was an empty clearence a year ago 7. "Thor's Chariot" - When they send the MALP, the background is not behind the gate so the original wall of the Bridge Studiomcan be seen. csillagkapu.hu/kep.php?kep=kepek.csillagkapu.hu/hiba/2x06/07.jpg 8. "Broca divide " - C2 sign is missing from the entrance door in the gateroom csillagkapu.hu/kep.php?kep=kepek.csillagkapu.hu/hiba/1x04/07.jpg 9. "Hathor" - the website is a fake internet site on the harddrive csillagkapu.hu/kep.php?kep=kepek.csillagkapu.hu/hiba/1x13/01.jpg 10. "Maternal Instinct" - Daniel arrived in a short sleeve t-shirt which became a long sleeve shirt inside csillagkapu.hu/dbhibak.php?ep=3x20 11. "Windows of opportunity " - The Stonehenge type of arch is not always there behind the gate. The explanatio is that the same set was used for the arrival and the table scenes so they had to rotate the set. csillagkapu.hu/dbhibak.php?ep=4x06 12. "Curse" - When Osiris pushed away Sam and Janet you can see the soft wall is shaking. Error 2 here is how the flashlight changes angle during the Osiris-Daniel conversation. csillagkapu.hu/dbhibak.php?ep=4x13 13. "Summit" - Daniel read the same copies of the Goa'uld letter on his desk at the study of the summit in the SGC csillagkapu.hu/kep.php?kep=kepek.csillagkapu.hu/hiba/5x15/04.jpg 14. "Prometheus Unbound" - The wrong Goa'uld prop was given to Vala. She should have had the healing device instead of the lighting bolt ring from "Demons". 15. "Hide and Seek " - Chevrons are not on the Atlantis gate at all when we could see it fom the inside of the black smoke in the end
@@jeffdavis5723 Yes, it is true. Hungarian fans collected a lots of error. I can't give you the exact timecode as my PC is dying at the moment, sorry. I shared a few one with pictures the FB group called "Stargate fan club" too.
You're hired! :) Thanks for a great list. I wrote a reply but RUclips ate it (probably because you were editing the comment). I've seen several of these but a bunch are new to me (the SGC wall in "Thor's Chariot!"), so I am taking good notes. I looked at the gate lowered in "Moebius, Part 1" and count nine chevrons. I do know there are a bunch of 8-chevron gates out there, especially peppered through Atlantis. I count this as a really unfortunate consequence of the show using multiple VFX houses during this period. Of all things to maintain consistency on, you would think the Stargate itself would be it.
Dunno if you'd call it a production error, but in the pilot when they group is heading back to the gate after escaping, when Jack says "We've got less than an hour, how we doing?" it looks like the staff weapon he's carrying is about to fall apart it's bending to much.
I can't remember the episode but there's this one where they replaced all the cast with puppets and it was really noticeable, you could see the strings and everything.
The thing about the Sears Tower could possibly be explained as an alternate timeline as you mentioned. Time travel has happened in the Stargate series at least 4 or more times, and we've been shown it does actually create different outcomes in the future even when things went smoothly. Jack's pond, for example. Now, if you consider the order in which each event happens, then it's reasonable to assume minor changes would have happened each time. Weir traveled back 10,000 years and met Janus, leading to SG-1 finding the time jumper and going back to when the Goa'uld were still powerful on Earth. They changed the timeline back and forth in that instance. We also have the events of SGU's Novus plotline, most of the crew being stranded 300 years in the past. Then there's Continuum, taking place in an alternate future and in 1930-ish. And last is the events of 1969. With Jack's pond as evidence, it's 100% plausible that at least one of those events caused the Sears Tower to appear in the skyline a few years before it actually existed.
At 6:07 where you said something was left behind by crew members, I expected it would be a water bottle and was really surprised it was a snicker's wrapper (how do you miss that?!)...but there is ALSO a water bottle on the floor. haha!
There's an episode of SG-1 where Carter and O'Neill are demonstrating the P90. The weapons were actual guns I believe, not replicas and they were taught how to use them safetly. In one scene, RDA side ways points the gun at Amanda Tapping and she flinches briefly.
I worked as BG on several episodes of SG1 and SG Atlantis. In most cases we used real guns. In one episode of Atalantis I was using a fully automatic Machine gun pistol and a flare gun from a Nazi U Boat mocked up like sawed off shotgun.
@@leslieasselstine4766 thank you very much for being part of an amazing franchise and I look forward to seeing it return at some point. Speaking of gun safety doesn't seem so funny now after what happened on the set of Rust last year.
Great video. I noticed none of those. One error I noticed was in an episode Carter was going to go on a date lamenting that Colorado Springs has no zoo. This is patiently untrue. SG1 was set inside Cheyenne Mountain, a few hundred yards away from the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. I live in CS and that's my favorite zoo. I have always been bothered by this grievous error.
The show's writers attempted to defend this line by saying that Sam didn't know that Colorado Springs had a zoo because before Pete she didn't have a social life and hardly left the base. 🤣
@@GateWorldDotNet omg?! They addressed it? That's hilarious because it really just yanks you out if you've ever been to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo (a popular local landmark) which is so close. Sadly, their lame defense also falls flat because there's no base housing, so she had to go home at some point (and you think they would've hooked them up with some on-base housing given how close Carson was and is -- literally the main gate road runs into Carson). Local stuff was the big error that usually caught my eye. Fort Carson has a much closer hospital to Cheyenne Mountain so I always imagined the military ambulances having to drive 45 minutes up I-25 to the USAFA hospital instead of 8 minutes to the close-by Carson hospital whenever they were inexplicably on the Academy grounds. Just made me chuckle. The only other ones that I remember pulling me out was the police car livery and the housing development that is also on the mountain (that time dilation must have been a real pain to explain). But the zoo being literally on the same mountain was perfect oversight! Too funny.
I caught a minute of The Nox on Pluto the other day and realized when Apophis and his Jaffa are shooting at SG-1 at the beginning, apparently he had multiple first primes. it looked like all of the Jaffa had the gold emblem and not just a black tattoo
There’s one scene (I forgot which episode) where there’s a group of Jaffa that sound like they’re marching in sync when they’re clearly not. 😂 Also, I always got a kick out of whenever they’d go off world and we’d hear very obvious Earth animals like mourning doves.
For me its close shots of the chevron locking. The gate bends like it is from plastic or something. Same goes for DHDs, both in sg1 and sga. They rock, buttons rattle etc. The DHD I can understand, it's often filmed outside the studio. But the chevron shot is in studio and is reused many times over the seasons. I guess they just embraced it and used it on purpose.
Yeah I remeber watching Stargate recently for the first time on my PC so the screen is quite close and on a close up of the chevrons locking one episodes, I could literally see the screw heads in the chevron haha. Just painted over but quite clear in HD.
Jack's iconic eyebrow scar has been a part of his look ever since the very end of Season 1. But the first time it ever appears was in "There But For The Grace of God"-- the alternate reality episode. The eyebrow was shaved to accomodate a stitched cut on the alternate O'Neill, but RDA liked the look so much that makeup maintained the nick in his eyebrow for the rest of the series.
All of the practical hero zats performed the functional operations seen onscreen... They could activate (open), fire, and deactivate (close). Yes, there was in fact a seperate button that would be depressed and served as the weapon's 'trigger', and there was a function to go along with it that the prop would perform practically every time it was pressed. Most people don't even know it, but the entire forward half of the 'barrel' - including the 'muzzle' - will all kick back in a reciprocating "recoil action" every time the trigger button is depressed. Frankly this function was included less for the viewer/audience and more for the sake of post-production/VFX, and to some degree for those on set to nail kill queues and such. Every time that front barrel portion would recoil and make a little "puh-tff, puh-tff" sound it would indicate that the weapon was being fired, thus indicating to the VFX and Sound Design team that they needed to include one or more zat discharge animations and sound effects at the respective points. It also gave the actors and stunt performers a more tangible queue to use when delivering and taking fire from a zat. It's not like it would have any recoil due to it being an energy weapon, so actors wouldn't be mimicking muzzle rise and a need to control it as with traditional projectile based firearms which gives everyone an easy visual aid/queue to work with (in circumstances where gunfire is added exclusively in post production and there is no blank ammunition and/or limited pyrotechnics involved in a combat action sequence). The first three (or four, I don't recall how many working models they built initially) functional dynamic zat props were more or less cobbled together using mostly custom made components. The endoskeletal structure was constructed primarily from 6061 aluminum with a variety of steel, aluminum, and composite parts while the outer shell was composed of a vacuformed ABS polymer that was then distressed and painted as needed. The actual mechanical/moving parts consisted of a series of micro pneumatic actuators that were were driven via a compressed air power supply. The first pneumatically driven iterations were supplied a constant source of air pressure via a remote hardline that was male/female coupled near the base of the grip portion and connected to a portable compressor using a long flexible air line hose . The air line would then be hidden within the actor's/stunt performer's wardrobe by feeding it up the sleeve into the jacket/top and pulling the remainder out through the back, or in some cases running it down the leg of the trousers until it came out by the ankle. It was all dependent on the specific requirements for the scene/sequence in question and what other factors might be relevant like indoor vs. outdoor environment, ambient and stage lighting, camera angle, dynamic vs. static actor performance, etc. In many cases they would have to go through some painstaking efforts in post to remove any blatantly visible parts of the air hose and such that would be visible, especially if it was a close up action shot and/or the actor was wearing short sleeves or something. This type of post-production editing can be greatly influenced by the angle of the shot and all of the various lighting conditions, making it much more difficult to hide certain things and potentially ruining the appearance of a crucial pivotal moment in a plot (Sci-fi fans in particular can be especially picky and observant in this regard, making them a bit more difficult to please on occasion). Luckily the remote line approach for an air supply was essentially just a temporary stop-gap measure, and it wasn't long before the pneumatic zats were modified to operate using onboard internally self-contained gas resovoirs instead. A limited supply of compressed air was stored in a small tank housed within the grip, allowing for each system to be individually charged off any compressor or portable air tank and function independently without any tethers or hoses for a short time. Unfortunately the reservoir tank was pretty compact and rather low-volume, and the pneumatic system was quite notoriously inefficient in terms of air consumption due to the lack of a low pressure regulator in the system, so it was common to have one or two gassed up and prepped just offscreen so they could continue to rotate them out as they lost pressure. They were also subject to some pretty noticeable pressure drop effects almost immediately after the first one or two operations, meaning reduced performance and efficiency with each drop in tank pressure, making each operation more choppy and/or sluggish than the last. Beyond this, the pneumatic zats were overwhelmingly unreliable and prone to failure pretty often, requiring maintenance and mechincal/internal lubrication. Due to a lack of proper on-board pressure regulation, they were constantly blowing seals and requiring frequent tear down in order to go through and replace them all. They required continuous nigh constant attention and care and were excessively difficult to disassemble and reassemble as they weren't designed for this and were quite intricate/mechanically complex, especially for the time. On top of that they were also some very expensive pieces of prop hardware that likely saw far more invested in their commission than initially intended. This only increased over time with all of the parts and labor that went into keeping them working over the years as well, so of course they got as much as they could out of them. The pneumatic zats became intensely hated by the props/SFX crew and after years of having to maintain those nightmares, but fortunately they would eventually catch a break.. During the filming of season 6, the pneumatically operated dynamic practical zat props would be redesigned and replaced with a set of some brand-spanking new, state-of-the-art electronic system platforms that were driven by switches, servos, and silicon while being powered by a rechargeable NiCad battery. These new zats were better in every way, offering far superior performance, longevity/efficiency, a much more attractive and realistic looking shell, and greatly reducing the weight of each unit by a substantial amount. They produced like three of these electronic zats as well if I'm not mistaken, and this is what they continued to use for their main functioning practical zats for the remainder of production (they may have swapped to a LiPo or Li-Ion power plant at some point towards the end there, but I'm not entirely sure honestly). They did hang on to the original pneumatic zats for back ups and extras as well, but they tended to use the electronic ones as much as possible once they had 'em. Also besides the static stunt zat props you mentioned, they also had static stunt versions in the open position that were used so the expensive functioning props didn't have to be thrown around and abused at all. There were also stunt zats that were composed of flexible foam resin with metal wire inserted throughout the length of the design that could be manipulated manually by hand to rest in the open or closed position depending on the need. They were soft and flexible enough to be manhandled and tossed about without concern of damage to people or property, yet the internal metal wire offered structural rigidity and the ability hold a desired shape or be changed on-demand. These still pop up for sale ebay and such from time to time, both screen used originals and reproductions alike. Definitely a more obscure item though in either case, to be sure...
Wow! This is an incredible amount of detail. I presume you were on the production? I have one of those resin zats cast in the open position used on the show -- the prize of my humble collection!
One that I spotted was in Atlantis, Siege Part 3. Starting around 8:05, when Sheppard and Caldwell are talking about overriding the failsafes to beam the nukes, you can see the studio lights reflected in the glass that are making the orange flashes of the battle in front. You can see them in several of the following shots also, especially in the shot when Caldwell stands up from the chair.
In episode 7x13 Chimera, Sam Carter is out with her brothers best friend and she states that there is no zoo in Colorado Springs. That is false. There is a nationally renowned zoo, the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, in Colorado Springs. Its located right on the side of the same mountain that Norad "Stargate Command" is in.
Also when asked where he got his tattoo Teal'c told someone supposedly in Colorado Springs "Chulak" and he responded "Is that on the east side?" Not a bad joke but makes no sense if you know the Springs at all. And of course most of the shots other than of Cheyenne Mountain itself don't look like Colorado.
@@ntdscherer That is a good point. I live in Colorado springs and was disappointed they didn't get more B footage of the actual city nor researched it better. When it came to the tattoo, Instead of East Side, he should have just asked "Is that in Manitou Springs or Old Colorado City?"
@@jpraiswater8625 That would have been more accurate, but 99.9% of the audience would have no idea what he was talking about. Agreed about B footage, it couldn't have been that hard to do.
Several times you can see Christopher Judge's gold "tattoo " slightly lifting away from his forehead. I've seen a few other things...but can I remember them?? No....but if I do remember, I'll be sure to get back here and let you know! Thanks for this video!
The subtle things you mentioned at the beginning that you said me should forgive, matched a few of the ones on your list, like the backwards ID card swipe.
This kind of stuff is good to see. The newest SciFi show (that I know of) is being roasted by many, but so many people don't remember, or don't know that even absolute smash hits like the Stargates and Star Trek had corniness and screw ups that can be corrected later.
I remember when i first watched Stargate Atlantis, the episode with the huge storm where the camera pans out to show the entire set. Through the window at the back you can see the head and arms of a guy FURIOUSLY shaking the palm trees to simulate wind... LOL
The second episode with the Furlings was the only episode done flawlessly, in my opinion. I'll never know how they got Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep, Morgan Freeman, and Helen Mirren to co-star and have George Lucas to direct it. SG1 Season 11 was amazing!!
On Stargate Atlantis S3 ep13 at the 21 minute mark you can see a standard door closer you’d see in an office building above the door behind Sheppard. But, at about 22 min 33 sec you can see someone noticed and covered it up. The whole scene switches between covered and not covered. Luckily it’s hard to notice because of the great Richard Kind’s acting taking precedent.
One more: SG1 S2E11+S2E12 Tok'Ra Part I + Part II: In Part II (37:45) when they depart the rings they run towards the gate to the right. However, in Part I (9m & 14m) they come from the left.
Wow! That's a pretty subtle error, but you're right. When Sam, Martouf, and Jacob are leaving the Stargate should be the other direction. Unless SG-1 was originally walking in a loop around a hill and coming back toward the gate when they first encountered the Tok'ra.
@@GateWorldDotNet I try to rationalize it as an editing choice that looks better or at least is in sync with them reaching the gate in the following shot where they run from left to right. There could have been a different editor who didn't know. Or they strategically chose the other direction to avoid the Goauld. It looks odd if you watch the episodes together though. This one was on my mind for years. Nitpicky perhaps, but it's kinda fascinating how many small and minor errors are there despite the episode count. This is fun. Though I have to admit that a few errors and inconsistencies in the franchise are truly head scratchers that somewhat take away as a whole from the quality when you review it. Will try to think of some more.
In The Tok'ra 2 at the end. The SGC waiting for Jacob and Carter with a opened Gate, but at the Same time they runned to the Gate Dialed it, with the Conflict who opened the Gate first (Also, but not clear is, don't you see this at the red glowing light on the DHD?)
The last goof just makes me yern for a 4k/bluray release of SG1. I love my complete dvd collection, but SG1 and their movies really deserve the makeover.
That's not a small goof either. The Egyptian pyramids were always emphasized in the show as landing pads. Yet all the ships wouldn't even fit a four-sided pyramid.
6:08 yes, that looks like a Snickers wrapper on the console, but are you not even going to mention the blue pack of sanitary wipes and plastic water bottle on the floor in the same shot?
The biggest goof is how pretty much everytime they cut to a shot of the earth Stargate activating, it's a reused shot from Season 1 Episode 1 so all the equipment is covered in dust sheets! You see it in almost every episode including those in Season 10!
That is because they only had 2 stargates built. The offworld one didn't rotate and the SGC base one started having issues after only a few episodes. They had to stop rotating the gate to preserve it, as it was a one-off and would be massively expensive to make a replacement that rotated, would not start falling apart after a short period of time, and matched up on camera to the original.
The Apophis symbol is also upside down in s1 "Bloodlines", not on Tealc's head but there's a big one marking the shrine where Daniel and Sam find the symbiote tank
I think it's upside down on a lot of things in that episode, like on the tablecloth in the room where Rayac is undergoing the ceremony to put his symbiote in. And I'm not completely sure, but I think the symbol is upside-down like that on most objects throughout the programme. Me and my mum were watching Sg-1 together and noticed that the symbol was upside-down on a lot of objects like that, and since it seemed consistent it kind of made us wonder if it might have been an international choice?
I kinda feel like the Oreo box in the junk pile might have been done on purpose just to see if anyone noticed. It just seems a really unlikely place for something like that to have been left by accident.
I seem to recall one of the early Season 7 episodes, when both Daniel and Jonas appear, had a scene where both characters "ring transport" into a store-room and save their captured team-mates. Both Daniel and Jonas fire Zats at the Jaffa, except that actor Corin Nemec (Jonas) seemingly fires his one time too many. While he does the usual "jerking" of his hand in a firing motion, the VFX people didn't put the beam effect on. This is so noticeable that it's even mentioned (and laughed at!) on the DVD commentary for the episode!
In Crystal Skull, while Daniel is in the old man's apartment, he bumps into a chair and it visibly moves, even though he is out of phase at this point.
Not sure if this was mentioned by anyone else, but the upside down tattoo thing was also in S1E12, just not as a tattoo. It's visible around 28 mins into the episode on the wall of a building and on a purple flag.
Well, I remember seeing one effects goof with a staff weapon where the Jaffa had it pointed straight up and the bolt came out the bottom of the shell. There was a second time Teal'c fired a Zat from the closed position at a crystal skull. Michael Shanks recounts a goof when Corin Nemec fires a Zat a bunch of times but the effects guys were doing him no favors and didn't add in extra bolts to correspond with the trigger pulls. I think he attributed that to actor error, though.
living in Illinois, I did catch the "Sears Tower" hallucination (60's refence) The Teal'c's Gold Tattoo, and Sam hiding in the corner where hilarious! I defiantly will look for them next time I watch all the stargates.
I enjoyed watching scenes supposedly in Colorado Springs that were shot in Vancouver. I previously lived briefly in Colo Spgs and visited my dad several times when he lived in Vancouver. S8E7 Affinity, where Teal’c gets his own offbase apaprtment, the apartment neighborhood was shot only a few blocks from where my father lived, and I had been right there. In the scenes that showed the beach and water, again it was obviously in Vancouver. Besides, I don’t know of any beaches, much less water, in the Springs.
Yeah...there's no water in Colorado Springs. It's a really dry place with an average relative humidity of between 5 to 12%. I always thought it was funny when they shot scenes "in town" and it was lush and green... the Springs isn't green at all. LOL
Also, the iris is often opened when they get an incoming wormhole instead of going through the whole "We need to receive a positive ID before opening it" Mostly happens in the earlier seasons.
In Crystal Skull (s3ep21) around 11:38, the skull does/doesn’t fit in the case; Judge does a good job of just going with it has he runs away from the pedestal
I am always amused and/or annoyed, when the GDO Signal is shown to arrive before the gate actually opens. They didn’t do that much in later seasons, but in the first three it happened from time to time. Gate hasn’t opened yet, it’s still in the process of being dialed, and: oh it’s SG-6 coming home.
Yeah, and I never even noticed that until recently another video pointed out that it shouldn't work that way. They should dial. the full address, THEN there should be a pause as the gate at the destination is sent the handshake and, *IMHO*, IT (the Destination gate) should then quickly dial back to the gate that sent the signal and this should cause them to link up.
In Season 2, Episode 17, Holiday, when SG-1 gates to Ma'chello's Lab, you can see draped equipment. As the team walks past, there is an opening in one of the drapes and you can see cheap lawn furniture inside.
9:40 I loved the part where Tel'c just calmly shoots the rocket with his Zat gun and it causes the rocket to not fire. O'Neil asks, "How did you know that would work?" and Tel'c says, "I did not.'"
@@robertagren9360 More like, he didn't know it would work but as they believed the rocket motor would fire in less than a second he had nothing to lose. There were three possibilities from Teal'c's point of view. The zat would have no effect, in which case the rocket motor would fire filling the room with fire killing everyone almost instantly. The Zat would cause the rocket to explode filling the room with even more fire killing everyone even faster, or the zat would prevent the rocket from firing. As it turned out the zat had no effect at all because it wasn't a real rocket. SG-1 was in no danger.
the biggest issue with zat guns is the inconsistent behavior....sometimes they shoot 2-3-4 times even on a single target....sometimes person is instantly knocked out, others they just writhe in pain and power through it...and the same characters that previously could power through it suddenly lost the ability to do so and were knocked out again later in the series....
Well, real tasers don't always stop someone, so that part isn't too bad, although ya sometimes they drop out for several minutes and other times almost instantly recover, and it's just whatever the script decides at the moment.
In the pilot children of the gods the airman in the elevator with Jack has major insignia on his epaulets and sergeant stripes on his arms, I guess that made him a sergeant major.
There's at least few scenes involving Apophis in his semi-bionic days where his metal eye thing was half peeling off his cheek too. It's been 20 years since I saw it so I can't recall the episode, but it always caught me
There’s a line about there not being any zoos nearby in one episode, while there is a lovely zoo on Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado Springs, coincidentally named the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.
There was the episode where O'Neil downloaded the ancient database to his head (for the first time) and he built the diy ZPM in order to get to the Asgard planet. In some later episode Carter (I think) said that the Asgard built it. I think that's pretty bad... Another thing that always bugs me, is that when they shoot the Replicators in a ship or in the SGC, there's never any bullet holes on the walls, not even small marks left by the bullets hitting the wall. In the Ark of Truth they had that huge machine gun that was bolted to the floor and even that didn't leave any marks to the walls or broke any pipes or electric wires attatched to the wall. Col. Mitchell said in one episode "bullets bounce!", that also never happens when they're shooting the Replicators...
Seems much more of budgeting limitations rather than production errors. Even time constraints to get the episode made. Though I guess you could say budget and time lead to production errors
That's not the worst part about that energy source - at a later episode Carter and alternate reality Carter figure out how to make the device work again, yet later it's claimed they do not know how it works and nobody uses this very useful thing again. They could've used it to dial Pegasus whenever they wanted. It was definitely powerful enough, Pegasus is closer than Ida
30 years ago there wasn't a whole lot of digital editing going on. SG-1 (as said several times was basically the top notch production coming out of BC) set the bar pretty high. Even watching now a lot of the writing and production values still hold up. A lot of the indy film scene in the Cascadia Region can probably trace their roots back to SG-1 and The Outer Limits (which had a lot of the same production and talent being used).
I've been introducing the Stargate franchise to a friend of mine, and he actually caught #10 on first viewing. It was hilarious to see because I had missed it the first two times I'd watched it.

The second biggest was killing Beckett.
Cough cough woke modern censorship cough cough
>> they removed Carter sciencing gate travel in ep. 1
Stargate Universe was a wonky one, but I think it did have some potential. I didn't really like the communication stones though. Universe would have needed something more like Q from Star Trek than aggressive enemies. Something that was powerful and mysterious and you wouldn't know if it was friend, enemy or just someone goofing with them.
@@ehsnils SG:U picked up the pace after season 1 ... and then it was cancelled. Like so many good shows.
No, the biggest goof is Stargate: Universe. A huge expensive goof.
Besides, the Stargate franchise was on its last legs. Whenever there is a long running series, it starts being encroached by the Terrible Two: *Overexposure* and *Running Out Of Ideas* , and the audience starts losing interest. As a producer you really have to know when to end a series on a big note, rather than just milking it over and over until it dies. Stargate: Universe should have never existed.
I grew up watching Stargate and now as an adult, I’m in the military myself. Absolutely love the show and I just want to say, Stargate SG-1 gets more things right than any other show I’ve seen. Most of the time I cringe at military shows or movies because they mess up too much for me to do anything but nitpick their mistakes rather than enjoy the show. SG-1 isn’t like that. I do notice goofs here and there, but the show itself is so amazing that it genuinely doesn’t irk me. That said, if anyone is curious what they DID get wrong about the military:
They use cell phones 20+ levels underground, and in classified areas. They do not use code names for SGC, the Stargate, etc. and openly say those buzz words in public areas (Foothold episode where Carter meets Mayborne at a cafe). Hammond addressed Simon (who is a Master Sergeant / E-7) as “private”- the USAF does not have privates, they have airmen. And even if they did, anyone above the rank of E-4 is considered a non-commissioned officer. Another thing is their small unit tactics are not realistic at all. For instance, if you’re taking fire, you are not going to duck behind cover and then raise yourself up from behind it to shoot - you would position your weapon around the edge and expose as little of yourself as possible. One example of this is the Zatark episode, where Martouf tries to kill POTUS and Teal’c hops out from the gate room’s wall (which is concrete!! Ideal cover) to shoot him, fully exposed. Another example is their tactical movements on an enemy planet. They don’t move in a tactical formation or space themselves out correctly, so one enemy grenade could kill the whole team. They don’t conduct SLLS (Stop, Look, Listen, Smell) when they are knowingly entering enemy controlled territory. Their briefings lack a format (I understand why, the viewer doesn’t want to sit and listen to an Operations Order every time they conduct a mission, but just know in real life, it’s not like that). And don’t even get me started on Hammond’s salutes!
But I will say, generally SG-1 got SO much right. I noticed in Season 7, O’Neill had to use an access card to get down to the lower levels of the base, which is a great detail. In another episode, they mentioned a non-disclosure agreement being signed prior to someone being made aware of the Stargate program - also correct. Their uniforms are also pretty good. I’m not in the USAF, so I don’t know what order their racks should be in, but the PLACEMENT looks really good. If it’s wrong, it’s not noticeable to anyone outside the Air Force. I also appreciate that they use ribbons instead of medals. Some shows use medals (which isn’t inherently wrong) or mix ribbons and medals together (which is wrong), but most people in real life prefer ribbons be because medals are so heavy.
Anyway, if you were curious about seeing the show from a military perspective, here ya go. :)
My military experience [not in the US] consisted of sitting in an air conditioned room in the middle of a big city and providing tech support, yet I too was always facepalming when they got completely out of cover before shooting at the bad guys. There was one time when Daniel not only walked out of his cover but actually walked right up to a bad guy who had their back turned to him before shooting.
What exactly do you do when conducting an SLLS? Do they stand silently and sniff around? And what's an Operations Order?
I would think it would be possible to have a local cell connected to a landline to serve the Cheyenne Mountain facility. Not that they would do that.
@@SciFiSecrets Yes, you’re right! :) The USAF even gave SG-1 an honorary award for such a positive depiction of their military branch.
@@limiv5272 It’s essentially a short halt during movement to ensure no enemy are in the vicinity. So you’re just using the five senses to get a sense of your surroundings. And an operations order is how you receive a mission from higher. I’m sure it varies by military branch, but there’s a set format and a way you brief it to subordinate elements that SG-1 never followed. Which I’m sure is the thematic element at play, because the truth is it would make their briefing scenes SUPER boring haha :)
From what I know Hammond was former military. Maybe he did bring the salutes his unit used when he was in the military with him just as a wink to former members. From what I know some units do have a special signature details just for recognition.
I can agree that some of the tactics might not be as you did learn, but at the same time it might have made filming more complicated. Another factor to consider is to avoid spreading some knowledge by intentionally getting it wrong since you don't know what alignment the viewers have.
So far the goofs in Stargate haven't been really cringe level, the most cringe is time travel episodes, but that goes for any show since it's so easy to get things really wrong, just one single simple detail and you are lost. Just an example that's not SG related, Sweden changed from left hand traffic (same as UK) to right hand traffic in 1967, and if someone makes a movie / show with time travel and it predates the change and the cars drives on the wrong side for that era then it's a major goof.
Biggest Error:
No season 11 of SG1
No season 6 SGA
No season 3 SGU
Indeed.
SG-1: don't get me wrong, I love this show - But, I'm good with them ending it where they did. It's time had come.
SGA: Would have been a neat story Arc for Atlantis on Earth and becoming the new HQ for the SGC (Since the Pegasus gates override older MW gates).
SG-U: That's the real crime here. It was heartbreaking, as a viewer, watching Destiny go to sleep knowing that it would never awaken (the entire franchise has been canned.)
Well, with the movies SG1 had a nice ending, that's right. I didn't like the whole Ori plot anyway as much as the Goa'uld and Replicators plot. It finally had to come to an end. But without the movies, there really had to be a final season 11.
The ending of SGA left us in the dark what's next. A final season or movie would have been very nice! But it would be a nice startpoint for a new SG series, too. Now on earth, they would have the time and resources to discover the whole city and maybe discover where the ZPMs are made. With a bunch of new ZPMs and the whole Asgard technology there even might be a plausible possibility for a crossover with Dark Matter. For example a parallel universe, where the alteraner never build any stargate (= Dark Matter)
SGU, well... that's really a true crime. Same thing as it was with Dark Matter. I hope, we will get the answers somehow in a new series of Stargate.
After rewatching Universe, it shot itself in the foot.
Universe should have had a much reduced episode count per season.
It would have done much better with 12 episodes per season
I disagree. As soon as SG1 pulled out Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table garbage, they jumped the shark. Whenever any IP draws from the Arthurian legend, it's all downhill from there.
The most glaring one for me was SG1- Episode 1. Apophis and his guard come through the gate for the first time, then back out through the same open wormhole. As wormholes are only one directional,and the Goa'ld dont have remote diallers, this should have killed them all. Would have saved a LOT of Apophis hassle.
The gate does shut down in that sequence. What they never showed on screen was how the Jaffa managed to redial (though much later the writers introduced a device that does as much).
The 2009 version of the pilot fixed this issue. As SGC´s soldiers run towards the gate room, the dialing sound of the gate was added. Years later, a goa'uld hand device was showed that can open the gate, so that retroactively explained how Apophis opened the gate.
@@Pavel_M_Mihalik We also touched on this is a video on the script-to-screen changes for "Children of the Gods" a year or two ago. The original script actually had a visual effect showing Apophis using his hand device to reactivate the Stargate. It never made the episode.
What really made no sense was Apophis and Teal'c even being there. Apophis lead a multi-planetary empire, and Teal'c was the head of his military, yet it seemed they were personally handling every minor mission
@@limiv5272 That's just main character syndrome. The audience can't get to know a thousand characters so the writers have the same people handling everything.
The water bottle and what looks like a pack of baby wipes on the floor caught my attention before the Snickers wrapper.
I came to the comments to see if anyone else saw that. For #4, I was surprised that the water bottle and wet wipes (?) on the floor wasn't mentioned.
@@WeakestAvenger I thought the same thing

My favorite goof was in Stargate Atlantis S1, The Eye. About the 2:18 mark, you can see the plants outside are blowing in the wind. But in reality, you just see a production set person violently shaking said plants. I like to think it was a random expedition scientist trying their best not to get caught by the Genii.

Thank you for this. Spotting and sharing goofs in this way is true love for the franchise.
Thanks for watching!
One thing I always notice in the earlier seasons of SG1 is that when they show the gate opening in the SGC they re-use the same CGI clip from the pilot and so some of the computers to the side of the gate are covered up from when the base wasn’t really in use
Worked on last season of SG1 and on first season of Atlantis in VFX department. Best memories.
Thanks for your great work!
In shows like star gate and star trek, I constantly notice when actors hold things upside down, when props are used to stand in for multiple DIFFERENT things but can OBVIOUSLY be seen as something that was said before to be something else or when an object changes places. Its fun to look for things like this and i loved this video.
What's odd about that first one is the outer ring of the tattoo is consistent to the normal alignment where it thins out on the upper edge.
The snickers bar could have been mackay pocket munching while he fiddled with stuff on board, part of his character was that of a bottomless snacker, and the absence later does come after the ark had been decompressed which is why shepard is in a spacesuit.
The tattoo applique was originally in two pieces (rather than the once piece you can see being applied in the video, which is from Season 8). So you're right, they only applied the center piece upside down.
If you look at the floor there is a water bottle and some other snack as well as the snickers on the console.
Doing QC & working in post production for over 40 years, I can tell you that every one of these was most likely caught...& they left it due to the cost to fix it. Common every day occurrence...more nowadays with remote digital workspaces...getting unconnected and messy, fast. Also, like in the old Disney days, we did stuff on purpose...for fun...😁
My favourite didn’t make the list - RDA apparently caught reading his script, which is sitting on top of a crate on Apophis’ shop in the season 1 finale, and trying to stow it away and suppress a grin knowing it may have been seen.
the thing that I always notice is occasionally props bump against a solid object like a wall or floor, and you can see them reverberate while being held. The staff weapons were the standouts, they'd wiggle like crazy anytime they were filmed hitting the ground. but hey nobody wants to haul around a giant metal staff!
That prop bump is apparent for example in Deadman Switch and other episodes where guys press buttons on walls.
That's a classic boo-boo. I remember, as a kid, watching a scene in Hercules (with Kevin Sorbo) where he throws a dude against a cave wall and you can see the bottom of the 8ft wall prop literally tip over and create a 1 foot gap. I think that is the exact point in my life when I started looking for errors like that in tv/movies... I can't watch stuff these days without looking for things like reflections/shadows, items that shouldn't be there, continuity errors, wardrobe mistakes etc.
There were a couple episodes where the characters bump up against some "boulders" and the boulder actually shakes and moves. Takes one hell of a strong and heavy person to shake 1 or 2 tonne boulders just by leaning on it.
If the staff weapons had been completely solid, I'm sure there would've been some injuries.
@@adraedin don't forget the infamous drywall bulkheads of the TOS Enterprise.
That backwards security card gets me everytime i'm rewatching 😆
I've noticed it in another episode where he's using an elevator.
I don't care how many oopsies there were I will continue to watch and love SG 1 with all those great actors.
in the episode "bane" when they arrive on the deserted world full of bugs at the start, they show a shot of the alien "city" (looks to be a university campus). look closely and you'll see a busy highway far on the horizon with rows of cars streaming along it. this one is my favourite goof and nobody ever noticed it!
I am on the last season of SG1 just finished episode 7 last night. The show is just as good now as it was when it first came out, grew up watching it and wow still great. To bad most shows these days will not hold up like many of the 90s and early to mid 00s shows still do now.
This video was lovely. Hungarian fans noticed plenty of errors. Here are some of my favorites :
1. "200" - They used the SG-1's prop gate at the end of the episode instead of the Wormhole X-treme gate.
2. "Death knell" - When the team comes to rescue Carter the gate is upside down so the transparent wormhole effect should have been used like the back part of the wormhole.
3. "The Return" - Atlantis and MW gates have 8 chevrons at the Midway station animation. Similar two glyph sided gates were in the "Inferno" too when the gate has fallen into the lava. They had the same error in Moebius when the MW gate is lowered and McKay and Carter watched in the gate room. 8 chevron P gate was crrated as vfx error in the Asuran satellite at "First Strike"
4. "Seizure" - The MW gate had way too many repeated glyphs on Langara on SGU. I believe the MW gate set was sold at this stage so they had only some part of it and they had to add digitally the glyphs.
5. "Serpent's lair" - Script was left on the sarcophagus when they talk to Bra'tac.
csillagkapu.hu/kep.php?kep=kepek.csillagkapu.hu/hiba/2x01/03.jpg
6. "Thor's Hammer" vs Thor's Chariot - there are trees around the gate while it was an empty clearence a year ago
7. "Thor's Chariot" - When they send the MALP, the background is not behind the gate so the original wall of the Bridge Studiomcan be seen.

9. "Hathor" - the website is a fake internet site on the harddrive

10. "Maternal Instinct" - Daniel arrived in a short sleeve t-shirt which became a long sleeve shirt inside
csillagkapu.hu/dbhibak.php?ep=3x20
11. "Windows of opportunity " - The Stonehenge type of arch is not always there behind the gate. The explanatio is that the same set was used for the arrival and the table scenes so they had to rotate the set.
csillagkapu.hu/dbhibak.php?ep=4x06
12. "Curse" - When Osiris pushed away Sam and Janet you can see the soft wall is shaking. Error 2 here is how the flashlight changes angle during the Osiris-Daniel conversation.

14. "Prometheus Unbound" - The wrong Goa'uld prop was given to Vala. She should have had the healing device instead of the lighting bolt ring from "Demons".
15. "Hide and Seek " - Chevrons are not on the Atlantis gate at all when we could see it fom the inside of the black smoke in the end

@@jeffdavis5723 Yes, it is true. Hungarian fans collected a lots of error. I can't give you the exact timecode as my PC is dying at the moment, sorry. I shared a few one with pictures the FB group called "Stargate fan club" too.
You're hired! :) Thanks for a great list. I wrote a reply but RUclips ate it (probably because you were editing the comment). I've seen several of these but a bunch are new to me (the SGC wall in "Thor's Chariot!"), so I am taking good notes.
I looked at the gate lowered in "Moebius, Part 1" and count nine chevrons. I do know there are a bunch of 8-chevron gates out there, especially peppered through Atlantis. I count this as a really unfortunate consequence of the show using multiple VFX houses during this period. Of all things to maintain consistency on, you would think the Stargate itself would be it.
Dunno if you'd call it a production error, but in the pilot when they group is heading back to the gate after escaping, when Jack says "We've got less than an hour, how we doing?" it looks like the staff weapon he's carrying is about to fall apart it's bending to much.
You mean in children of the gods there's a few different versions of that episode maybe it's not in every version?

it was done on purpose, even made part of the plot when they enter the wormhole and lose their strings.
They even mention in the commentary how they had to digitally add them since they weren't visible enough filming.
The thing about the Sears Tower could possibly be explained as an alternate timeline as you mentioned. Time travel has happened in the Stargate series at least 4 or more times, and we've been shown it does actually create different outcomes in the future even when things went smoothly. Jack's pond, for example. Now, if you consider the order in which each event happens, then it's reasonable to assume minor changes would have happened each time.
Weir traveled back 10,000 years and met Janus, leading to SG-1 finding the time jumper and going back to when the Goa'uld were still powerful on Earth. They changed the timeline back and forth in that instance. We also have the events of SGU's Novus plotline, most of the crew being stranded 300 years in the past. Then there's Continuum, taking place in an alternate future and in 1930-ish. And last is the events of 1969.
With Jack's pond as evidence, it's 100% plausible that at least one of those events caused the Sears Tower to appear in the skyline a few years before it actually existed.
At 6:07 where you said something was left behind by crew members, I expected it would be a water bottle and was really surprised it was a snicker's wrapper (how do you miss that?!)...but there is ALSO a water bottle on the floor. haha!
AND a wet wipes bag
@@rootbear75 Hah, I missed that! I thought it was part of the chair.
There's an episode of SG-1 where Carter and O'Neill are demonstrating the P90. The weapons were actual guns I believe, not replicas and they were taught how to use them safetly. In one scene, RDA side ways points the gun at Amanda Tapping and she flinches briefly.
I worked as BG on several episodes of SG1 and SG Atlantis. In most cases we used real guns. In one episode of Atalantis I was using a fully automatic Machine gun pistol and a flare gun from a Nazi U Boat mocked up like sawed off shotgun.
@@leslieasselstine4766 these guns hopefully had no ammo?
@@leslieasselstine4766 thank you very much for being part of an amazing franchise and I look forward to seeing it return at some point. Speaking of gun safety doesn't seem so funny now after what happened on the set of Rust last year.
Great vid. Here's hoping for a part 2 😁
One of my favs is the wobbly rubber staff weapons. Some of them flexed so much while they were running it was hilarious
6:07 ...
There's also a bottle of water on the ground by the seat (his left hand side)... and what appears to be a VHS tape next to it.
Not vhs, but kinda looks like a oreo cartonbag, maybe something similar.
Im wondering more if this was a goof or on purpose
Great video. I love all the ones they put in there deliberately, they were a fun lot.
Haley's salute always bugged the crap out of me...lol
Great video. I noticed none of those. One error I noticed was in an episode Carter was going to go on a date lamenting that Colorado Springs has no zoo. This is patiently untrue. SG1 was set inside Cheyenne Mountain, a few hundred yards away from the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. I live in CS and that's my favorite zoo. I have always been bothered by this grievous error.
The show's writers attempted to defend this line by saying that Sam didn't know that Colorado Springs had a zoo because before Pete she didn't have a social life and hardly left the base. 🤣
@@GateWorldDotNet omg?! They addressed it? That's hilarious because it really just yanks you out if you've ever been to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo (a popular local landmark) which is so close. Sadly, their lame defense also falls flat because there's no base housing, so she had to go home at some point (and you think they would've hooked them up with some on-base housing given how close Carson was and is -- literally the main gate road runs into Carson).
Local stuff was the big error that usually caught my eye. Fort Carson has a much closer hospital to Cheyenne Mountain so I always imagined the military ambulances having to drive 45 minutes up I-25 to the USAFA hospital instead of 8 minutes to the close-by Carson hospital whenever they were inexplicably on the Academy grounds. Just made me chuckle.
The only other ones that I remember pulling me out was the police car livery and the housing development that is also on the mountain (that time dilation must have been a real pain to explain).
But the zoo being literally on the same mountain was perfect oversight! Too funny.
My issue with 1969 is the gate they came out of. The gate wasnt there. They should've came out where the actual gate was.
These were EXCELLENT SHOWS! I so miss good sci-fi. Can’t wait for the new SG show.
Bratec's helmet in the Lost City Episode always triggered me. The side flap poking out in some scenes and then fixed in others.
Caught a bit of those myself... love the clear point out of so much more, which you Indeed, presented as a worthy watch
I caught a minute of The Nox on Pluto the other day and realized when Apophis and his Jaffa are shooting at SG-1 at the beginning, apparently he had multiple first primes. it looked like all of the Jaffa had the gold emblem and not just a black tattoo
I always thought they were his personal guard. Guys like that have to look good.
First Primes aren't the only ones who have the gold embalms, certain important Jaffa get them too like Lords of planets etc.
Well you know, 2nd prime and 3rd prime, prime zero sugar, cherry prime.
There’s one scene (I forgot which episode) where there’s a group of Jaffa that sound like they’re marching in sync when they’re clearly not. 😂 Also, I always got a kick out of whenever they’d go off world and we’d hear very obvious Earth animals like mourning doves.
My favorite is when on several occasions, they parked the MALP right on the ramp. The Kawoosh should've destroyed the MALP many times 😄
I only noticed a few of these. So pretty cool. Can’t wait to find it when I binge watch again.
For me its close shots of the chevron locking. The gate bends like it is from plastic or something.
Same goes for DHDs, both in sg1 and sga. They rock, buttons rattle etc.
The DHD I can understand, it's often filmed outside the studio. But the chevron shot is in studio and is reused many times over the seasons. I guess they just embraced it and used it on purpose.
Yeah I remeber watching Stargate recently for the first time on my PC so the screen is quite close and on a close up of the chevrons locking one episodes, I could literally see the screw heads in the chevron haha. Just painted over but quite clear in HD.
Jack's iconic eyebrow scar has been a part of his look ever since the very end of Season 1. But the first time it ever appears was in "There But For The Grace of God"-- the alternate reality episode. The eyebrow was shaved to accomodate a stitched cut on the alternate O'Neill, but RDA liked the look so much that makeup maintained the nick in his eyebrow for the rest of the series.
You'd think all those times he used a sarcophagus would've fixed that scar already
All of the practical hero zats performed the functional operations seen onscreen... They could activate (open), fire, and deactivate (close). Yes, there was in fact a seperate button that would be depressed and served as the weapon's 'trigger', and there was a function to go along with it that the prop would perform practically every time it was pressed. Most people don't even know it, but the entire forward half of the 'barrel' - including the 'muzzle' - will all kick back in a reciprocating "recoil action" every time the trigger button is depressed. Frankly this function was included less for the viewer/audience and more for the sake of post-production/VFX, and to some degree for those on set to nail kill queues and such. Every time that front barrel portion would recoil and make a little "puh-tff, puh-tff" sound it would indicate that the weapon was being fired, thus indicating to the VFX and Sound Design team that they needed to include one or more zat discharge animations and sound effects at the respective points. It also gave the actors and stunt performers a more tangible queue to use when delivering and taking fire from a zat. It's not like it would have any recoil due to it being an energy weapon, so actors wouldn't be mimicking muzzle rise and a need to control it as with traditional projectile based firearms which gives everyone an easy visual aid/queue to work with (in circumstances where gunfire is added exclusively in post production and there is no blank ammunition and/or limited pyrotechnics involved in a combat action sequence).
The first three (or four, I don't recall how many working models they built initially) functional dynamic zat props were more or less cobbled together using mostly custom made components. The endoskeletal structure was constructed primarily from 6061 aluminum with a variety of steel, aluminum, and composite parts while the outer shell was composed of a vacuformed ABS polymer that was then distressed and painted as needed. The actual mechanical/moving parts consisted of a series of micro pneumatic actuators that were were driven via a compressed air power supply. The first pneumatically driven iterations were supplied a constant source of air pressure via a remote hardline that was male/female coupled near the base of the grip portion and connected to a portable compressor using a long flexible air line hose . The air line would then be hidden within the actor's/stunt performer's wardrobe by feeding it up the sleeve into the jacket/top and pulling the remainder out through the back, or in some cases running it down the leg of the trousers until it came out by the ankle. It was all dependent on the specific requirements for the scene/sequence in question and what other factors might be relevant like indoor vs. outdoor environment, ambient and stage lighting, camera angle, dynamic vs. static actor performance, etc. In many cases they would have to go through some painstaking efforts in post to remove any blatantly visible parts of the air hose and such that would be visible, especially if it was a close up action shot and/or the actor was wearing short sleeves or something. This type of post-production editing can be greatly influenced by the angle of the shot and all of the various lighting conditions, making it much more difficult to hide certain things and potentially ruining the appearance of a crucial pivotal moment in a plot (Sci-fi fans in particular can be especially picky and observant in this regard, making them a bit more difficult to please on occasion). Luckily the remote line approach for an air supply was essentially just a temporary stop-gap measure, and it wasn't long before the pneumatic zats were modified to operate using onboard internally self-contained gas resovoirs instead. A limited supply of compressed air was stored in a small tank housed within the grip, allowing for each system to be individually charged off any compressor or portable air tank and function independently without any tethers or hoses for a short time. Unfortunately the reservoir tank was pretty compact and rather low-volume, and the pneumatic system was quite notoriously inefficient in terms of air consumption due to the lack of a low pressure regulator in the system, so it was common to have one or two gassed up and prepped just offscreen so they could continue to rotate them out as they lost pressure. They were also subject to some pretty noticeable pressure drop effects almost immediately after the first one or two operations, meaning reduced performance and efficiency with each drop in tank pressure, making each operation more choppy and/or sluggish than the last. Beyond this, the pneumatic zats were overwhelmingly unreliable and prone to failure pretty often, requiring maintenance and mechincal/internal lubrication. Due to a lack of proper on-board pressure regulation, they were constantly blowing seals and requiring frequent tear down in order to go through and replace them all. They required continuous nigh constant attention and care and were excessively difficult to disassemble and reassemble as they weren't designed for this and were quite intricate/mechanically complex, especially for the time. On top of that they were also some very expensive pieces of prop hardware that likely saw far more invested in their commission than initially intended. This only increased over time with all of the parts and labor that went into keeping them working over the years as well, so of course they got as much as they could out of them. The pneumatic zats became intensely hated by the props/SFX crew and after years of having to maintain those nightmares, but fortunately they would eventually catch a break..
During the filming of season 6, the pneumatically operated dynamic practical zat props would be redesigned and replaced with a set of some brand-spanking new, state-of-the-art electronic system platforms that were driven by switches, servos, and silicon while being powered by a rechargeable NiCad battery. These new zats were better in every way, offering far superior performance, longevity/efficiency, a much more attractive and realistic looking shell, and greatly reducing the weight of each unit by a substantial amount. They produced like three of these electronic zats as well if I'm not mistaken, and this is what they continued to use for their main functioning practical zats for the remainder of production (they may have swapped to a LiPo or Li-Ion power plant at some point towards the end there, but I'm not entirely sure honestly). They did hang on to the original pneumatic zats for back ups and extras as well, but they tended to use the electronic ones as much as possible once they had 'em.
Also besides the static stunt zat props you mentioned, they also had static stunt versions in the open position that were used so the expensive functioning props didn't have to be thrown around and abused at all. There were also stunt zats that were composed of flexible foam resin with metal wire inserted throughout the length of the design that could be manipulated manually by hand to rest in the open or closed position depending on the need. They were soft and flexible enough to be manhandled and tossed about without concern of damage to people or property, yet the internal metal wire offered structural rigidity and the ability hold a desired shape or be changed on-demand. These still pop up for sale ebay and such from time to time, both screen used originals and reproductions alike. Definitely a more obscure item though in either case, to be sure...
Wow! This is an incredible amount of detail. I presume you were on the production?
I have one of those resin zats cast in the open position used on the show -- the prize of my humble collection!
One that I spotted was in Atlantis, Siege Part 3. Starting around 8:05, when Sheppard and Caldwell are talking about overriding the failsafes to beam the nukes, you can see the studio lights reflected in the glass that are making the orange flashes of the battle in front. You can see them in several of the following shots also, especially in the shot when Caldwell stands up from the chair.
9:23 - Haley also is walking into the wormhole but when she comes out she's landing as if she did a little hop into it instead
This takes me back, I used to love watching Stargate... The good old days... 😔
In episode 7x13 Chimera, Sam Carter is out with her brothers best friend and she states that there is no zoo in Colorado Springs. That is false. There is a nationally renowned zoo, the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, in Colorado Springs. Its located right on the side of the same mountain that Norad "Stargate Command" is in.
Also when asked where he got his tattoo Teal'c told someone supposedly in Colorado Springs "Chulak" and he responded "Is that on the east side?" Not a bad joke but makes no sense if you know the Springs at all. And of course most of the shots other than of Cheyenne Mountain itself don't look like Colorado.
@@ntdscherer That is a good point. I live in Colorado springs and was disappointed they didn't get more B footage of the actual city nor researched it better. When it came to the tattoo, Instead of East Side, he should have just asked "Is that in Manitou Springs or Old Colorado City?"
@@jpraiswater8625 That would have been more accurate, but 99.9% of the audience would have no idea what he was talking about. Agreed about B footage, it couldn't have been that hard to do.
Several times you can see Christopher Judge's gold "tattoo " slightly lifting away from his forehead. I've seen a few other things...but can I remember them?? No....but if I do remember, I'll be sure to get back here and let you know! Thanks for this video!
wow that snickers is gonna hunt me until the end of time now, thank you ;)
The subtle things you mentioned at the beginning that you said me should forgive, matched a few of the ones on your list, like the backwards ID card swipe.
This kind of stuff is good to see. The newest SciFi show (that I know of) is being roasted by many, but so many people don't remember, or don't know that even absolute smash hits like the Stargates and Star Trek had corniness and screw ups that can be corrected later.
I remember when i first watched Stargate Atlantis, the episode with the huge storm where the camera pans out to show the entire set. Through the window at the back you can see the head and arms of a guy FURIOUSLY shaking the palm trees to simulate wind... LOL
The second episode with the Furlings was the only episode done flawlessly, in my opinion. I'll never know how they got Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep, Morgan Freeman, and Helen Mirren to co-star and have George Lucas to direct it. SG1 Season 11 was amazing!!
Puff Puff Pass
Teal's Head thingie moved around so much, it was like it was alive.
On Stargate Atlantis S3 ep13 at the 21 minute mark you can see a standard door closer you’d see in an office building above the door behind Sheppard. But, at about 22 min 33 sec you can see someone noticed and covered it up. The whole scene switches between covered and not covered. Luckily it’s hard to notice because of the great Richard Kind’s acting taking precedent.
Thanks for this wonderful Series 🙂
One more: SG1 S2E11+S2E12 Tok'Ra Part I + Part II: In Part II (37:45) when they depart the rings they run towards the gate to the right. However, in Part I (9m & 14m) they come from the left.
Wow! That's a pretty subtle error, but you're right. When Sam, Martouf, and Jacob are leaving the Stargate should be the other direction. Unless SG-1 was originally walking in a loop around a hill and coming back toward the gate when they first encountered the Tok'ra.
@@GateWorldDotNet I try to rationalize it as an editing choice that looks better or at least is in sync with them reaching the gate in the following shot where they run from left to right. There could have been a different editor who didn't know. Or they strategically chose the other direction to avoid the Goauld. It looks odd if you watch the episodes together though. This one was on my mind for years. Nitpicky perhaps, but it's kinda fascinating how many small and minor errors are there despite the episode count. This is fun. Though I have to admit that a few errors and inconsistencies in the franchise are truly head scratchers that somewhat take away as a whole from the quality when you review it. Will try to think of some more.
In The Tok'ra 2 at the end. The SGC waiting for Jacob and Carter with a opened Gate, but at the Same time they runned to the Gate Dialed it, with the Conflict who opened the Gate first (Also, but not clear is, don't you see this at the red glowing light on the DHD?)
@@rangerearthgate1392 The red light on the DHD lights up every time the gate is active, no matter which side opened it.
I did notice the Teal'c card swipe on my 2nd SG-1 watch. Being born in Chicago in 1955, I noticed the Sears tower error immediately.
Crouching Carter, Hidden Wrapper
The last goof just makes me yern for a 4k/bluray release of SG1. I love my complete dvd collection, but SG1 and their movies really deserve the makeover.
Yeah, the Ha'tak 3 sided pyramid landing on a 4 sided base, that always bugged me.
That's not a small goof either. The Egyptian pyramids were always emphasized in the show as landing pads. Yet all the ships wouldn't even fit a four-sided pyramid.
This is by far my all time favorite show. One of those shows that part of you wishes would run forever.
Honestly the hippie bus is a bigger issue, that would have been at the oldest, a 3 year old bus, and no school district would rid of a bus that new.
6:08 yes, that looks like a Snickers wrapper on the console, but are you not even going to mention the blue pack of sanitary wipes and plastic water bottle on the floor in the same shot?
The biggest goof is how pretty much everytime they cut to a shot of the earth Stargate activating, it's a reused shot from Season 1 Episode 1 so all the equipment is covered in dust sheets! You see it in almost every episode including those in Season 10!
Yeah thats true. That was a bit lazy. The video quality is lower too.
That is because they only had 2 stargates built. The offworld one didn't rotate and the SGC base one started having issues after only a few episodes. They had to stop rotating the gate to preserve it, as it was a one-off and would be massively expensive to make a replacement that rotated, would not start falling apart after a short period of time, and matched up on camera to the original.
Rest assured I'll look for all of these goofs while re-watching the series.
The Apophis symbol is also upside down in s1 "Bloodlines", not on Tealc's head but there's a big one marking the shrine where Daniel and Sam find the symbiote tank
I think it's upside down on a lot of things in that episode, like on the tablecloth in the room where Rayac is undergoing the ceremony to put his symbiote in. And I'm not completely sure, but I think the symbol is upside-down like that on most objects throughout the programme.
Me and my mum were watching Sg-1 together and noticed that the symbol was upside-down on a lot of objects like that, and since it seemed consistent it kind of made us wonder if it might have been an international choice?
Great vids bro
I kinda feel like the Oreo box in the junk pile might have been done on purpose just to see if anyone noticed. It just seems a really unlikely place for something like that to have been left by accident.
Jonas Quinn firing extra shots that are not CGI ed and he just goes pew pew
"O'Neill with two Ls!"
And RDA shows 3 fingers! :D
Not a goof, he did that on purpose to show his middle finger too. Lol
Anyone else notice the NES stuck to the wall at 6:01 ? The aliens must have liked to play a bit of Super Mario on that big display screen.
I actually noticed numbers 2, 3, and 6 when binge watching SG1 recently.
9:35 THANK YOU FOR POINTING THIS OUT! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!
I seem to recall one of the early Season 7 episodes, when both Daniel and Jonas appear, had a scene where both characters "ring transport" into a store-room and save their captured team-mates. Both Daniel and Jonas fire Zats at the Jaffa, except that actor Corin Nemec (Jonas) seemingly fires his one time too many. While he does the usual "jerking" of his hand in a firing motion, the VFX people didn't put the beam effect on. This is so noticeable that it's even mentioned (and laughed at!) on the DVD commentary for the episode!
Oh i mentioned the same thing but for season 6 episode 3 with Jonas and the zat gun.
I think I found it! This is in "Homecoming" (at 32:44). Jonas looks like he's trying to fire one more time after the battle is over.
@@GateWorldDotNet Yes, that’s the one!👏😂
@@jpwphoenix1701 *Yeah that’s right. Lol* 🤣🤣🤣😂
In Crystal Skull, while Daniel is in the old man's apartment, he bumps into a chair and it visibly moves, even though he is out of phase at this point.
That Snickers on the control panel ... 😂
they had one in a puddlejumper too iirc
Not sure if this was mentioned by anyone else, but the upside down tattoo thing was also in S1E12, just not as a tattoo. It's visible around 28 mins into the episode on the wall of a building and on a purple flag.
Well, I remember seeing one effects goof with a staff weapon where the Jaffa had it pointed straight up and the bolt came out the bottom of the shell. There was a second time Teal'c fired a Zat from the closed position at a crystal skull. Michael Shanks recounts a goof when Corin Nemec fires a Zat a bunch of times but the effects guys were doing him no favors and didn't add in extra bolts to correspond with the trigger pulls. I think he attributed that to actor error, though.
living in Illinois, I did catch the "Sears Tower" hallucination (60's refence) The Teal'c's Gold Tattoo, and Sam hiding in the corner where hilarious! I defiantly will look for them next time I watch all the stargates.
I enjoyed watching scenes supposedly in Colorado Springs that were shot in Vancouver. I previously lived briefly in Colo Spgs and visited my dad several times when he lived in Vancouver. S8E7 Affinity, where Teal’c gets his own offbase apaprtment, the apartment neighborhood was shot only a few blocks from where my father lived, and I had been right there. In the scenes that showed the beach and water, again it was obviously in Vancouver. Besides, I don’t know of any beaches, much less water, in the Springs.
Yeah...there's no water in Colorado Springs. It's a really dry place with an average relative humidity of between 5 to 12%.
I always thought it was funny when they shot scenes "in town" and it was lush and green... the Springs isn't green at all. LOL
Don't know if goof or not but Hathor walking out of the flaming bath was a sight to behold
Definitely deliberate in this case -- but one you have to be paying attention to see!
@@GateWorldDotNet Amazing how many people think that was a goof.
Also, the iris is often opened when they get an incoming wormhole instead of going through the whole "We need to receive a positive ID before opening it" Mostly happens in the earlier seasons.
hrm, i always assumed it just got so normal to transmit the id codes that they do not show it on the show anymore.
In Crystal Skull (s3ep21) around 11:38, the skull does/doesn’t fit in the case; Judge does a good job of just going with it has he runs away from the pedestal
I am always amused and/or annoyed, when the GDO Signal is shown to arrive before the gate actually opens. They didn’t do that much in later seasons, but in the first three it happened from time to time. Gate hasn’t opened yet, it’s still in the process of being dialed, and: oh it’s SG-6 coming home.
Yeah, and I never even noticed that until recently another video pointed out that it shouldn't work that way. They should dial. the full address, THEN there should be a pause as the gate at the destination is sent the handshake and, *IMHO*, IT (the Destination gate) should then quickly dial back to the gate that sent the signal and this should cause them to link up.
In Season 2, Episode 17, Holiday, when SG-1 gates to Ma'chello's Lab, you can see draped equipment. As the team walks past, there is an opening in one of the drapes and you can see cheap lawn furniture inside.
9:11 Second error at the same spot: Hailey is walking in and jumping out. That also doesn't fit.
9:40 I loved the part where Tel'c just calmly shoots the rocket with his Zat gun and it causes the rocket to not fire.
O'Neil asks, "How did you know that would work?" and Tel'c says, "I did not.'"
Rockets uses electronics to fire and Teal'c couldn't know it would work but I guess many weapons in his world are electronic.
@@robertagren9360 More like, he didn't know it would work but as they believed the rocket motor would fire in less than a second he had nothing to lose.
There were three possibilities from Teal'c's point of view. The zat would have no effect, in which case the rocket motor would fire filling the room with fire killing everyone almost instantly. The Zat would cause the rocket to explode filling the room with even more fire killing everyone even faster, or the zat would prevent the rocket from firing.
As it turned out the zat had no effect at all because it wasn't a real rocket. SG-1 was in no danger.
in fairness, just shoot the rocket three times and then everything is fine!
SG1 S2E1 18:56 RDA throws the script across the sarcophagus :D
oh my god how did I never notice this hahahaha
This one is great! I had seen it before but forgot about it. Onto the list it goes. :)
@@Salvidrim I noticed it after twenty years just recently and couldn't stop laughing :D
@@GateWorldDotNet
the biggest issue with zat guns is the inconsistent behavior....sometimes they shoot 2-3-4 times even on a single target....sometimes person is instantly knocked out, others they just writhe in pain and power through it...and the same characters that previously could power through it suddenly lost the ability to do so and were knocked out again later in the series....
Well, real tasers don't always stop someone, so that part isn't too bad, although ya sometimes they drop out for several minutes and other times almost instantly recover, and it's just whatever the script decides at the moment.
They poked fun at this themselves in Wormhole X-Treme
In the pilot children of the gods the airman in the elevator with Jack has major insignia on his epaulets and sergeant stripes on his arms, I guess that made him a sergeant major.
This is actually right near the start of the video. Thanks! 😄
There's at least few scenes involving Apophis in his semi-bionic days where his metal eye thing was half peeling off his cheek too.
It's been 20 years since I saw it so I can't recall the episode, but it always caught me
Oh boy! Look in SGA season 1 ep. The Eye around 2:20.... that plant in the background on the balcony! :D
Seems like a working-as-intended prop in a storm :D
@@TheOneWithTheManyZs A Genii is trying to get that plant to his homeworld :D
Oh that's funny! You can actually see the crew member crouching and shaking it.
There’s a line about there not being any zoos nearby in one episode, while there is a lovely zoo on Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado Springs, coincidentally named the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo.
There was the episode where O'Neil downloaded the ancient database to his head (for the first time) and he built the diy ZPM in order to get to the Asgard planet. In some later episode Carter (I think) said that the Asgard built it. I think that's pretty bad...
Another thing that always bugs me, is that when they shoot the Replicators in a ship or in the SGC, there's never any bullet holes on the walls, not even small marks left by the bullets hitting the wall. In the Ark of Truth they had that huge machine gun that was bolted to the floor and even that didn't leave any marks to the walls or broke any pipes or electric wires attatched to the wall.
Col. Mitchell said in one episode "bullets bounce!", that also never happens when they're shooting the Replicators...
That's just the reality of doing guns on screen, especially if you want to reuse the sets later!
Seems much more of budgeting limitations rather than production errors. Even time constraints to get the episode made. Though I guess you could say budget and time lead to production errors
@@TheMAZZTer I kind of understand that, but it's still annoying.
That's not the worst part about that energy source - at a later episode Carter and alternate reality Carter figure out how to make the device work again, yet later it's claimed they do not know how it works and nobody uses this very useful thing again. They could've used it to dial Pegasus whenever they wanted. It was definitely powerful enough, Pegasus is closer than Ida
@@limiv5272 Oh, I have never noticed that.
what about when tealc says that he's only qualified to fly the death glider and then suddenly tealc is a master pilot next episode
30 years ago there wasn't a whole lot of digital editing going on. SG-1 (as said several times was basically the top notch production coming out of BC) set the bar pretty high. Even watching now a lot of the writing and production values still hold up. A lot of the indy film scene in the Cascadia Region can probably trace their roots back to SG-1 and The Outer Limits (which had a lot of the same production and talent being used).
Stargate SG-1 wasn't created 30 years ago.
It first aired in 1997,not 1993
That would make it 25 years ago
