But it was one of those answers you never take seriously. Well, until you are standing on a fucking space ship. You know what I don't get, all those times that Bones said, "He's dead, Jim." and not once did he think to say, "He's done Kirk."
Pretty sure I would either immediately trip over the missing step or continue walking until I hit the window without noticing. Probably both at the same time.
@@brianorca The biggest problem of SGU is, that they never used the jump drive of Atlantis to get to Destiny. The jump drive allowed to be at every point in the universe within an instant.
I'd actually be really happy if playing World of Warcraft did not result in me being beamed onboard a spaceship and then later another spaceship with no hope of getting home. Yeah...
Honestly with all the flights they do, I wonder how many people suspected that the government had the 304's. Seriously though, a 3 star general at my door, I'd be shocked.
Real world I would pass out and when I come to I would have so many questions and so many jokes, first alien I am going to be like no prob no prob lol 🤣.
Always amused me that throughout the series, where everyone was on the verge of starvation, trying to find resources etc, Lardy Boy here was still ... Lardy to the bitter end 🤣🤣
@@Cohen.the.Worrier Nope, it REALLY is the diet .... as an example, check out the WW II film footage of the mostly British POWs in the Japanese camps, or indeed US captives in Vietnam etc. Not many lardy's there, very emaciated, because they were near starved !!
Eli was likeable. I remember him liking a woman that was likeable. I agree with your statement beyond those two. The show lacked the fun characters that SGA had.
It was just copying the horrid Battlestar reboot. It was better than BSG, but still not Stargate. But what else would we expect from a channel that forgot how to spell 'sci-fi'. Stupid name change, bad execs, bad TV. Is the channel even still around? 😎
A 3 star General shows up on your front door with an nda in hand with a renoun scientist at his heel and you close the door? 😅 Id sign just out of pure curiosity!
The way they treated Eli at first didn't really make any sense. Force him to go to an alien planet but then they don't use him. He just gets to be present when they test his math. They could have tested it without even telling him they exist.
Have I missed a lot of comments about how this resembles the start of the original Stargate movie, where Daniel Jackson is recruited into a secret government program because of his ability to translate?

“We’ll beam you up to our spaceship”

I would've said that I still wouldn't sign it.
So their little "secret" would be gone. XD
And so would he.

The first joke O'Neill cracks in this show.. was actually meant 100% seriously. The irony..
And first and last time he appears in the show. Gained a ton of weight!
@@knerduno5942 he appears multiple times later as head of Homeworld Command.
@@knerduno5942 He had a health condition that caused it but got better recently
@@Taospark Good to know!
@@Taospark Steroid treatment? eeps! Glad he is better.
"We are here. That happened.!" 🤣🤣 So good. I miss SGU. I miss SGA. And I totally agree. I miss SG most of all.
I'm sure lots of geeks would love to imagine that playing computer games would earn them a ticket into outer space. I know I would.
A trip to outer space? Maybe.
Conscription into military service? Not so much.
No thanks, I don't like heights
Given my generation was the one who watched "The Last Starfighter" when they were children, I'd say that's seriously possible.
Christina Cody I was about to make the same comment
@@NakanoHitori I mean...there's no "up" in space.
I mIss these SG shows
Jack in the most bored, causual tone humanly possible: "We ll beam you to our space ship" :D
I suppose signing the NDA is for being beamed off the spaceship...
Hey, that's clever.
He doesn’t need an NDA for that; who’d believe him.
How have I missed this for thirteen years? And I haven't seen this episode either! And O'Neill's "then I'll beam you up to our spaceship" joke-not-a-joke was AWESOME!
Don't bother, they canceled it and it was left with a shitty ending. Great series otherwise
@@EarlsPearls The plot called for a break of several years of cryo-sleep. They would have had to age all the characters.
@ralphinator2 Cryo sleep people don't age. Also there is 0% chance it continues. It's been 12 years since it was canceled.
No you should definitely watch it.... It has some brilliant episodes
Everyone knows that Eli is a representation of the fans.
Well the civilian scientist version of daniel.
I'm a bit confused, wasn't Daniel a civilian scientist? ;-)
@@TairnKA not after the 4th seoson anymore were he runs around shooting his p90 like a pro.
So, that doesn't make him a member of the U.S. armed forces (had no rank?). ;-)
@@gg-eo6ez I believe they are scientists.
Probably one of the best surprise faces ever captured on film when we all know he has a green sheet in front of him to work with.
The director tells him, what he would see there, he could also show him pictures of Earth from the orbit, to get an idea.

They have a cute naked girl in a raincoat flash you when they want the surprise face. 😲

"...and by lawyer, you mean mother." Gad, I miss my week dose of O'Neill.
I love the exchange look between O'Niel and Rush ! xD
O'Neill with TWO L's
The one with one L has no humour at all, according to Jack... XD
I can hear him O'Neill saying: "That went well." :)
I miss stargate, every spinoff
Lots of comments about how O'Neill was serious about the beaming.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I recall that he tended to be bluntly serious with most civilians (from earth) through the entire run of SG1...
This show needs to make a comeback
I've rewatched this a dozen times and it still gives me the chills.
Star-gate was a worthy tv show. I hope they continue it :)
No, any continuation would NEVER be as good as the original SG1.
I know theres been some kind of rumblings for a few years now but sadly nothing concrete.
Imagine if he had answered the door in like some dinosaur pajamas or something
I wish this show had more episodes
I love that Asgard teleport.
Sooo much potential in that show.
If instead of saying "It is a non disclosure agreement" they said "It is a job offer." they might have gone further with him.
They were not worried at all. His cooperation was assured.
Oh they went pretty far with him, like, other side of the universe far.
@@julieenslow5915 or rather coerced.
@@JonatasMonte
You say tomato..... lol
It’s a script a TV show. That was going to happen. Because it was much more entertaining That way
This looks like the long-awaited update to The Last Starfighter.
That _never_ gets old!

We did say what would happen if you didn't sign.
But it was one of those answers you never take seriously. Well, until you are standing on a fucking space ship.
You know what I don't get, all those times that Bones said, "He's dead, Jim." and not once did he think to say, "He's done Kirk."
Is it just me, or does this remind anyone of "The Last Starfighter"?!
No, reminds me of Futureman :)
I see the connection. Its recently been announced that a sequel is going to be made.
@@SamuelPearlman I had to look up a trailer. I understand why I never heard of that show.
@@dave29123 I've seen it...
Indeed...
Hey, I too thought he was joking when he said "beam you to our spaceship."
Pretty sure I would either immediately trip over the missing step or continue walking until I hit the window without noticing. Probably both at the same time.
I'm surprised they didn't actually do something like that. Seems like the kind of humorous touch that's right up Stargate's alley.
just headbutt the window while reading the form....
yep, youre not the only one
@@IBeforeAExceptAfterK Stargate Universe is too "BSG" for that; especially the first season.
@The high ground You're not wrong.
One of my favorite episodes of the Universe series....
I would love to see the clip after this one where he gets to say, "What the hell, man" to anyone who walks in to talk to him.
Jack must love it when he can jokingly refer to the truth like that.
You gotta love this scene.
I really loved that whole thing
I miss this show so much 😢
Who would kill for that opportunity, thumbs up!
O’Neill always had a way with sarcasm and dry humor.
Actually that is the most epic moment in the entire show, that and perhaps Eli´s mother visits him via the body switch stones later on.
The best scene from entire series
Wrote this for the nerds which is awesome 👏 Love SG
Unintended Easter Egg: the watermark ad on this is for a show starring Amanda Tapping(Samantha Carter) and Christopher Heyerdahl(Todd the Wraith).
The thing that bugged me the most is that Eli had to wear the same set of clothes for 2 seasons.
Yes, and they never again "beamed" anyone up or down again!
@@fuzzydart The Destiny (the Ancient spaceship) didn't have the beaming tech that the Asgards gave to the human ships.
You know I never once noticed that on the show and I've watched a few times.
No no no. He Zuckerburged; he had 5 pair of pants, 7 shirts, and 4 socks/grunts/t-shirts, and 2 hoodies. Don't worry.
@@brianorca The biggest problem of SGU is, that they never used the jump drive of Atlantis to get to Destiny. The jump drive allowed to be at every point in the universe within an instant.
"Whatever it is, i'll take the cash equivalent"
That part is sad knowing it's for paying his mother bills.
I enjoyed all 12 pixels of this clip.
I'd actually be really happy if playing World of Warcraft did not result in me being beamed onboard a spaceship and then later another spaceship with no hope of getting home. Yeah...
Far and away the best of the SCI FI series, do hope someone picks it up
That music.... Intense ❤
He's the last one standing... in the end. Gooo Eli!
Really liked Universe, I wish there were more.
Reminds me of “Carter, I can see my house.”
Holy shit this was more than 13 years ago... goddamn I'm old.
Oh yeah. The good ole Asgard beaming technology trick
Great scene!
Kerbal space program allows that to happen.
Honestly with all the flights they do, I wonder how many people suspected that the government had the 304's. Seriously though, a 3 star general at my door, I'd be shocked.
2 star, isn't he?
@@benjaminodonnell258 No, by the time of SGU he had gotten promoted again.
I would not recognize Air Force insignia... might just be an ice cream man 😎
@@benjaminodonnell258 That makes him a Major General
Actually, uh, Eli's not here right now....
that would be what i'd say hahaha
Real world I would pass out and when I come to I would have so many questions and so many jokes, first alien I am going to be like no prob no prob lol 🤣.
I miss star gate.
I don't think I've ever seen O'Neill look so serious.
We don't see the rest of the clip here, but I would have freaked out a lot more than that.
one best scenes
He still hasn’t signed the NDA at this point 😉
It's alien probe time!
I would have handed back that NDA and said let's go.
Wonder what if he just out right said no.
And refused to work with them, before getting beamed up?
That's cool but I still want my lawyer to check this over before I sign it.
Ok, Enders Game, cool👍🏾
sorry im a once upon a time fan and when i see rush, all i can think of is "dearie"🤣
Always amused me that throughout the series, where everyone was on the verge of starvation, trying to find resources etc, Lardy Boy here was still ... Lardy to the bitter end 🤣🤣
It's not the diet, it's the genetic. 🧐

He's the Sci fi Samwell Tarly 😅
SG1 was good. Atlantis grew on me. I can't make it through the first episode of SGU.
You never know when opportunities knock at your door. Best take them in stride.
I met the guy who played Eli a few years ago at an Sci-Fi conference and I didn't recognise him at first because he'd lost so much weight.
Still pissed years later that Stargate Universe was canceled.
Everytime I see this I think Richard is giving the impression of why the fuck am i still here doing this shit
Only Stargate would even have tried that!
Eli answers door- aren’t you the guy from The Full Monty?
An unrelenting recruitment effort on behalf of the US military. That's MCJ-ese for kidnapping.
Would love to rewatch sgu if I didn't know it has no ending..
It's the only reason I haven't rewatched it. I remember being so pissed when I found out it was cancelled.
I remember this on the scifi channel
Anyone else really want him to stop by mid step walking up the stairs and trip up?
You realize they would get more cooperation with NDAs if they just beamed the person up. 😂
This show could have been great. Shame they were hellbent on turning it as grimdark as BSG and made almost every character completely unlikeable.

@@TitoTimTravels BSG was actually an amazing show and one of the most popular on that channel...
That was the whole point and it was like that from the beginning, they didn't "turn it" grimdark.
Don't you just hate it when that happens.....
Everyone seems to get beamed up... to look out the same window. Don't they have any other windows on their space ship.

Funny.
I wonder if he crapped his pants! I know I would have.
That Lieutenant General should have his uniform refitted.
This really could have been such a great show if they hadn't tried to turn Stargate in to BSG
