@Patrick Cossack Not really. At least about the Empire=USA part. While the Empire is mostly just a representation of fascism, especially Nazi Germany, the Emperor was modelled by Lucas on Nixon and the final defeat of the Empire happened on a forest planet by a group of comparatively primitive guerilla fighters is a pretty obvious Vietnam allegory. That does not mean that the Rebels in general represent the Vietcong or communist in general, in fact the circumstance that one of the leaders is royalty, albeit adopted, is pretty much runs counter to most communist and Marxist theories. I'd argue that the Rebel Alliance is supposed to represent everyone and is more a stand-in for liberalism than communism or socialism, hell in some regards they are more representative of conservatism than progressivism.
@@GermanLeftist Horse shit... Lucas was a student of Regions and Greek History... He used them as a premise for his Good vs Evil story line...He even tells you that. As he used a mix of the Hebrew Bible. Greek\Roman history... As the Empire was modeled after the Roman Empire. The Rebels were the Christians. That believed in a high power. That were being hunted down for their faith... Hell even Darth Vader tells you that. Give into the Dark Side. The Dark Side was Lucifer and Satanic realm... So get an education.
You gotta love how Daniel is so used to interpreting that he forgets they're on earth... and in America, the second somebody speaks a foreign language.
@Kunth All he did was prove the Airman's assumption that he was a Soviet spy, which was likely why he asked the question in the first place. You should probably also take into account the fact that these guys found them in a secret military base they shouldn't have had access to, at the height of the Cold War.
@Kunth You can prove someone's assumption, even if it's wrong. Again, perhaps you should remember that they didn't just pick these guys up off the street, but discovered them in a secret military base. The knowing Russian bit leads to a much bigger assumption under those circumstances. Also, paranoia is an actual thing, you know.
Answering "Nyet" like that was funny! Daniel answered automatically because he speaks fluent Russian. It would have been funnier if someone speaking German\Spanish asked a question also and he answered them in that language!
And when the 2 hippies read the intro "A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away..." and remember Daniel's words will shit their pants. Hell, they would think the aliens made the movie!
Dwight Stewart at that time not everyone had seen it, and not every network had Star Trek. It slowly built its fan base over time and these guys likely didn’t have an opportunity to watch it while being in the military at that time.
Timothy .. Guy, I was there. There were only three networks at that time (ABC, CBS, & NBC), and perhaps one or two local channels. Star Trek aired in the evening (so-called prime time). It would have been virtually impossible to not come across the show, even if just flipping through the channels.
Dwight Stewart I realize you were there, but I also know that not everyone watched television back in the day, especially for that long. My grandfather still barely knows who Kirk was despite its popularity and he had a television then. My mother’s parents disallowed her and her sister to even watch Lost in Space much less Star Trek. And I know many people, both older and younger who I’ve mentioned a simple Star Trek or Star Wars character or phrase to and they stand there saying that they have no clue who or what I’m talking about.
@@Rikard_Nilsson You don't need to be able to speak Russian to repeat a phrase verbatim. You *do* need to be able to speak Russian to understand it and reply.
@@Rikard_Nilsson Nope, but if you're found in the the middle of a top secret American military base in the 60s - you're not likely to be a tourist who got lost.
It strikes me watching this again now: there was a Stargate program back in the 40s, though it was scrapped. SG1 could have honestly claimed to be part of a top secret government program that the people in 1969's Cheyenne Mountain didn't have clearance to know about, and asked to be put in contact with someone still alive who was involved with that program, and worked with them to get back to the future under the same veil of secrecy that the entire Stargate program was kept under, and then a second super-extra-top-secret classification within even the SG files to avoid disturbing the future that they knew.
"SG-1 could have honestly claimed to be part of a top secret government [stargate] program" ... true. And then what? "Oh, we can't tell you why we can't tell you where or when we're from, why we're invading your top secret military base, that's cool, right?"
they didnt knew that they mess with stargate in 40s back then. I still think that time travel in sci-fi is terrible idea but stargate did it right mostly, not atlantis they did it teribly and so did SGU.
It sounds funny, but actually that might have been a bad idea. It reveals that he is from the future. He also mentioned Kirk who was already known in the year 1969 another sci fi character. And actually, I don't think that there is anybody with the name Luke Skywalker in the US in the fist place.
Staff Sergeant: "Vy sovetskiye shpiony?" Dr Jackson: "Net." Colonel O'Neill: "Daniel?" Dr Jackson: "He just asked if we were Soviet spies, I just..." I always laugh out loud when I see this scene.
funny thing is, remembering that Carter referenced MacGyver in the pilot episode, meaning that MacGyver was a TV show within the SG1 universe, so Richard Dean Anderson would have existed also.
TangomanX2008 well it did take time for him to progress, and most of his combat development occurs off-world, so still left him a little behind when it comes to a lot of earth type situations like that one.
The major doesn't actually believe his name is Kirk (as he mentioned, they have O'Neill's dog tags), but he keeps calling him that because he doesn't think O'Neill will give him his real name regardless.
Eh, there are several parts of "Window of Opportunity" that beat it out. The scene where Daniel yells at a group of hostages they've taken for fighting over a man while they're being held hostage is really memorable too. This show is full of hilariously memorable scenes, honestly.
As others have mentioned, there was a secret Stargate program back in the 40s. Colonel O'Neil should have given his name and rank, as well as those of his companions, explained that they were part of the top secret research program, and list the names of people involved in that program's management .
However, until Jaffa came through the Stargate, I think it happened in the mid 1990s, no one would have known the importance of the gate and no program would have been developed. Before it was apparent that the Gate was a travel device it would have been dismissed as a intricate round monument that had to be stored somewhere just like it was in the episode "Bad Guys" (Season 10, Episode 16) where the SG-1 team were mistaken for terrorists when they appeared in a museum.

Seeing those Security Police wearing the old tan 1505 uniforms....brings back memories. 1505s and the old cotton fatigues were so comfortable. Who cares if you had to iron them frequently? I did see those SPs being out of uniform in the interrogation room: fatigue sleeves were not rolled up in those days and when they were allowed they had to be rolled up above the elbow. ---old USAF NCO.
O'Neill should've gone in reverse to determine which decade he was in. Luke Skywalker was 1977 while Kirk was 1966. If Kirk is a miss then so is Skywalker. Assuming this dude never saw Star Trek or Star Wars, it's even possible they were in the 1980s. They ended up in 1969 so Kirk was a good shot but ST:TOS was just not popular then so it's very possible he's not in 1970s or 1980s given Kirk and Skywalker are both a negative. So he would've known he's in mid 1960s or late 1960s based on the clothes, uniform, weapons, cigarettes etc.
0:17. I am Russian. One of my English teachers was ex kgb agent. They were trained to spoke English in any situation, even if they high. As result, when my teacher was drunked, he forgot Russian, and spoke only English
Jack mentioning Star Wars and Star Trek was a little Easter egg. Back then people would always ask what the better “Star” was between Star Trek and Star Wars but they always forgot about Star Gate lol
I think it would have been funny if there was a follow scene, down the road with an older Robert Thorton, Thorton sees the team and is like "Wait a minute, I know you."
I feel like in a situation like that I would have used a Time Traveller name as kind of an Easter Egg. Something like Martin McFly, Bill Preston or Theodore Logan.
But I think Star Trek didnt have the following that it has now - it was cancelled twice think think due to poor ratings, so maybe not so many watched it back then.

Excellent deadpan humor. Enjoyed the bit with the cigarette. One thing that bothers me: it's 1969 & Star Trek has been around for nearly three seasons. "James T. Kirk" should have jumped right out at them.
He specifically says "Captain James T. Kirk of the *starship* Enterprise" so I doubt Jack expected the commander to believe him. Whether the commander recognized the reference or thought it was just a BS fake name, it is plausible he would play along to move the interrogation forward.
Staff Sergeant: "Vy sovetskiye shpiony?" Dr Jackson: "Nyet." Colonel O'Neill: "Daniel?" Dr Jackson: "He just asked if we were Soviet spies, I just..." Dr Jackson: "Cyka blyat!
Reading comments makes me sad. Seems like a lot of people here ignore what was going on in the world and USA during 1969' . Woodstock and VietNam war were not the only events. That was the summer of the 1est man on the moon. There were a lot of scyfy shows. Star Trek, Journey to the bottom of the sea, Time Tunnel, Dr. WHO?, etc, etc. The way people here describe TV at that time is incorrect. I was 13y/o , and those were my favorite shows.

Ha there was a future episode were Jack claimed he never saw Starwars, Carter is shocked and he says 'well you know me and sci fi'.
Everyone in that room is going to have their heads explode when they see the movies and tv shows later in life
All three of the Star franchies, together in one scene 😅
I hit my table laughing at the Star trek reference.
After Daniel realized what he did, he shoulda just said "blyad..."
0:17. I am Russian. One of my English teachers was ex kgb agent. They were trained to spoke English in any situation, even if they high. As result, when my teacher was drunked, he forgot Russian, and spoke only English
Worth mentioning that a couple seasons later, O'Neill says that he's never seen Star Wars.
I before A except after K He could still have know of the character without having seen the movie.
Oniel lies but also one does not need to see a show to know something of it
The sentence is pretty easy to understand as an English speaker to be honest
“Bob, can I call you Bob?” Office Space reference 😮
nyet.......heheh........that will never get old.
0:29 Daniel is like "DOYYYYYY stupid Daniel, stupid Daniel"
"I'm going to lock you up for two hundred years!"
Jack mentioning Star Wars and Star Trek was a little Easter egg. Back then people would always ask what the better “Star” was between Star Trek and Star Wars but they always forgot about Star Gate lol
Another Jack O’Neill moment :-)
Classic O’Neill SG1!
“My name is not Kirk,it’s Skywalker…Luke Skywalker.”
Thanks Algorithm!
RDA is the BEST OF ALLLLLLLLLLLLL TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant watch this without laughing
True story: A Russian once came up to me and asked me, in English, if I spoke Russian.
I responded with "нет".
In 1969 Star Trek was already on television.
I think it would have been funny if there was a follow scene, down the road with an older Robert Thorton, Thorton sees the team and is like "Wait a minute, I know you."
OMG😆😆😆😆 Luke Skywalker and jack Oneill, my men😂😂😂
Ana Rita Barreira Maybe Luke O'Neill or Jack Skywalker
I feel like in a situation like that I would have used a Time Traveller name as kind of an Easter Egg. Something like Martin McFly, Bill Preston or Theodore Logan.
Kirk traveled time repeatedly.

Man i love this scene lmao
You heard the lady, if he says he's a Skywalker then he's a Skywalker.
For everyone else wondering: it is written like the following:
"Вы советские шпионы?" ("Are you soviet spies?")
"Нет." ("No.").
I love that scene .. "Nhet" lol
Am I the only one who would have watched an entire episode of this interrogation?
Any scene with O’Niell could be an entire episode.
Beautiful oak table.
That moment when you realize you didn't help the situation at all.
Вы советские шпионы?
Нет.
DaNiEl.

Classic 😂 Best TV everrrrrrrr
My god, this show's hilarious
What's funny is that Star Trek was on tv in 1969. I'm sure everyone knew Capt kirk by that time.😊
But I think Star Trek didnt have the following that it has now - it was cancelled twice think think due to poor ratings, so maybe not so many watched it back then.
Col. O'Neal should have just told the truth about being from the future, it would have been believed just as readily (as in, completely disbelieved).
[A couple of years later Colonel Robert Thornton meets a CIA Agent]
Robert: "man.. that interrogation back then with "Kirk" was weird"
Agent: "i know what u mean. Just 10 minutes ago i questioned a guy who claims his name is Pavel Chekov"
10 years latter the interrogator...WAIT A MINUTE!!
One of the best seens
Daniel: "Nyet"
What Daniel should have said: "Oni nashli nas. Vzryvat' yadernuyu bombu."
If Daniel had had the presence of mind to pretend they had a nuclear bomb, he would have just said "what"? in English. Or better yet, since this is Daniel, he could really troll them and say "sorry, I don't understand you" in a different language every time he's spoken to...

Excellent deadpan humor. Enjoyed the bit with the cigarette.
One thing that bothers me: it's 1969 & Star Trek has been around for nearly three seasons. "James T. Kirk" should have jumped right out at them.
It did. But part of interrogation is to show no emotion.
He specifically says "Captain James T. Kirk of the *starship* Enterprise" so I doubt Jack expected the commander to believe him. Whether the commander recognized the reference or thought it was just a BS fake name, it is plausible he would play along to move the interrogation forward.
Daniel is too smart for his own good.
“You can talk to me or you can talk to the Sii Eye Ay…“

Reading comments makes me sad. Seems like a lot of people here ignore what was going on in the world and USA during 1969' . Woodstock and VietNam war were not the only events. That was the summer of the 1est man on the moon. There were a lot of scyfy shows. Star Trek, Journey to the bottom of the sea, Time Tunnel, Dr. WHO?, etc, etc. The way people here describe TV at that time is incorrect. I was 13y/o , and those were my favorite shows. TV was great in those times. You had music shows, drama, commedy, realscientific shows and science fiction.. Not like now. Good shows are scarce at present, not then.
