General Hammond was my favorite character on SG-1. First of all he was a good boss, and he always played it straight regardless of what kind of ridiculous space stuff was happening.
Don Davis was great. I met him once before he passed. He was a very kind person. A very tall man as well. He was with his wife out shopping for tech support when we met. He needed help with his broken laptop so I fixed it or free. I felt like he had already given me so many good memories that I owed him and still do. RIP big guy.
@@Axemantitan I seem to recall R. Lee Ermey got a promotion to Gunny to not break some rule about misrepresenting rank so I don't know how real that rule is.
yeah there were so many in-jokes and references to other movies and shows I didn't even get most of them until much later when I was catching up to all the sources
"Couldn't stay away." "From your analysis of deep space radar telemetry?" "Well it's just so damn fascinating!" "Oh I'm sure it is." Omg this had me dying.
So, in 1969, after meeting SG-1, Hammond did a whole lot of research into who those people were that owed him money and knocked him unconscious, and by the late 80s, he'd already discovered one of the cover stories for the Stargate program by the time he moved to Twin Peaks. Then, a few years later, when the assignment to Cheyenne Mountain came through, he grinned to himself that everything he'd suspected unofficially was actually 100% true.
I personally found Ross very wooden though. Compared to all the excellent and vibrant actors around him he always fell flat for me and never had any gravitas and more felt like a character who existed just because he had to, and if he didnt exist there would be noone above the command chain for Sisko.
A general Hammond a manly man a strong man a man who can takes control over the situation. Never afraid to admit his mistakes and cover for his friends in their time of need. General Hammond a leader that you can count on this man literally went into a starship and commended an entire brigade to protect SG one. unlike Mikey's Spock and the rest of Star Trek Discovery general Hammond knows when to lay down the law.
General Hammond is the kind of strong leader that I would gladly take orders from even as a civilian. If he told me to go through the big watery circle in the middle of the room and that everything would be okay, I'd 100% trust him.
@@nitehawk86 yep he was the other Peter Thortan. Not to many know that. I posted about it too. Glad I'm not the only one or Grin could have thrown in a bit of MacGyver as well. Lol
Failwhale34 is partway through season three on his reaction channel stuff...and there’s another who is partway through s2 Check them out if you haven’t already
Actually he did have lines in a later episode after Dana was kidnapped and was hovering between life and death, I'm pretty sure his nickname for her was 'Starbuck' so maybe there is also a Battlestar Galactica tie-in here.
Based on that, then these shows are all connected via Richard Belzer’s Detective John Munch to at least 10 other TV shows including at least 4 Law and Orders and The Wire.

I wonder if the Stargate writers saw Twin Peaks and though that would be a good cover story for the SG members. Although, this would fit more with the episode where they go to the small town where they find a bunch of people who are being controlled by the Gould, but hey. Still a cool connection.
Ok, this... is a particularly impressive edit! It's practically perfect (and I don't say this lightly)! And, at the very least, that contrast between the deeply unsettling atmosphere (and background noise) of Twin Peaks and the lightness of SG-1 - quite illuminating.
They forgot the General part of Hammonds rank in Twin Peaks. He went from Major to Major General purdy quickly. Twin peaks was what 90/91. So it only took 6 years to go from Major to Major General. Thats pretty boss. Must have been all that excellent work he did in "Deep space radar Analysis".
Little trivia the actor who plays Genetal Hammond also played Peter Thoryans body double in MacGyver. Then Richard Dean Andetson works with the guy full time on Stargate. So RDA already knew him pretty well. When you watch the TV show Stargste it's almost like watching MacGyver and Peter Thoryan back together again.
I was today years old when I found out both Don S Davis and myself went to the same university and trained at the same post at Fort Leonard Wood, MO. Have been a long time fan of SG1 since it started when I was a kid.
You integrated Twin Peaks, Stargate SG-1, Indiana Jones and Sliders? Amazing! 😁 I can't be the only one who ever thought when Hammond talked to the President on his red phone it was to no one but himself. You never heard the other side of the conversation. 🤣
@Wayne Flanigan + clips from the Twin Peaks TV show, tying the Hammond line-in. TV show Sliders too (unless Sallah wearing a tweed jacket and bow tie is a deleted scene from Raiders ;) ) Brilliant idea!
there s a small scene in Con Air where Dave Chappelle's dead body drops on to Don S. Davis's just washed station wagon. I would love to see how you can weave that scene into one of your videos
In an early episode (S01E05) Hammond is brought in to the room and Fraiser says "We're running out of places to put all the victims. We've used the brigs, we've used the temp quarters..." IMO this is a nod to Twin Peaks because Don's character was called Major Briggs and it's weird that they would say "we've used the brigs", especially when Don is in the shot! It's subtle but I think it's a definite shout out.

What if Samantha Carter was secretly *immortal Dr Helen Magnus,* and had her own organisation outside of Stargate. She was skilled enough and had enough connections (and supernatural assets) to even have a cover story within her cover story inside the Air Force - her "father" was part of the cover. And that's why she was such a skilled scientist in multiple fields while also having the abilities of a highly trained special forces Black Ops Operative.
@@molybdaen11 the boring truth about Area 51 is that is really probably is just where they test experimental aircraft - the real alien shit, if there is any, would be at some black site nobody's even heard of
Ever heard of character acting? Don S. Davis was an professor of dramatic arts and a avid character actor. He also was an Army captain in 1960s. So wouldn't you say that academic highly educated actor with military background would have quite good chances to land in more than one same type of casts during his career. The rest is just intertextuality, which means that the references happen due to a multitude of same type scripts and rycecled ideas all over the world.
I can see this being the plot for Indy 5. Not the first time he's dealt with aliens, or unearthing things that were deliberately buried, or weapons of mass destruction.

That's classified.

Indiana Jones was just added by cleverly editing different scenes... Unfortunately

I wonder how this fits into that time travel episode where Jack meets him in the 60s.
You’re forgetting his side operation working undercover with Jack O’Neill in MacGuyver.
And you know that he played Scully's dad in The X-Files and he was a marine captain.
Definitely a connection to UFOs there as well.
Mulder also appeared in Twin Peaks but disguised as a woman
@@MajorGrin damn i didn't notice.....
He was also a stunt double on MacGyver.
He was also in Con Air.
And Jewel Staite (firefly) was also in X-Files and SG Atlantis. I don't know how this is relevant but its a thing!
Hammond genuinely felt like a father figure on SG1 and gave the show some much needed gravitas, much like Admiral Ross on DS9.
I'd think George Hammond and Bill Ross would have hit it off rather well.
I personally found Ross very wooden though. Compared to all the excellent and vibrant actors around him he always fell flat for me and never had any gravitas and more felt like a character who existed just because he had to, and if he didnt exist there would be noone above the command chain for Sisko.
