While saying "two", O'Neill actually shows "three" with his fingers ;-)
Not only did they add an extra L to Jack's last name, but they also gave his son a different first name. In the series it was Charlie. In the movie it was Tyler.
Love Stargate so much. I think Universe gets too much hate. Sure it was a bit of a change for me too, but after about 4 or 5 episodes, Universe finally started to pick up and I loved where it was going. Hopefully one day we can catch up with the Destiny and see what's going on. Great series from start to finish for me.

What I really liked, is that a couple of the characters from the movie returned to apprise their rolls for the series.
Love this, GateCulture has such a nice ring to it too.

It's great to see you covering Stargate! I'd love for a spin-off GateCulture channel in the future. A couple of extra things I was going to say are as follows. From what I recall, the original version of the pilot showed one of the Jaffa warriors who attacked the SGC early on was a woman. The show later made a point that Jaffa women aren't normally treated like warriors and are more subservient. It wasn't until much later in the ten years that the team came across a group of Jaffa women who were actually warriors (led by Jolene Blalock from "Star Trek Enterprise"). Also, in the Final Cut version, Christopher Judge re-recorded ALL of his Teal'c lines as he'd originally sounded a lot different in the original version of the pilot. Finally, regarding the "funnel" on the rear of the gate, they did actually later use that in the Season 2 episode "A Matter of Time", when the gate accidentally gets stuck connected to another gate inside a black hole. I also think they brought it back in the online movie "Stargate Origins".
Bloody love Stargate and I bloody love these videos. Keep them coming!
Could you do secrets about the DeLuise family? Their influence on Stargate, Seaquest and many others are always amazing to see.
O'Neil and O'Neill are the same people but from mirror universes, similar back stories except their children had different names, and they had differing personalities, their universes are pretty much identical up to that one choice when surnames were invented and their ancestor had to decide upon one L or two. At least that's my head canon.

O'Neill said it himself, "It's O'Neill with two L's. There's another Colonel O'Neil with only one L and... he has no sense of humor at all."
That final line made me like this video, well done WhatCulture!
I love Amanda Tapping. She is great.
"it's O'Neill, with 2 L's" - there's another Col. O'Neil, with 1 L, he has no sense of humor, at all" - always thought it was a soft jab at the movie version. "I don't know, what, what do you think?"

I sincerely hope that this leads to a series exploring "TV show movie adaptations superior to their source film." The list may not reach 10 but would surely be entertaining.
If I took a drink for every time there was a Wizard of Oz reference, I'd be dead
A painful part of having both Stargate SG-1 and Leverage as two of my favorite shows is knowing that Dean Devlin hated what they did with Stargate.
Thank you RDA for playing O'Neill !!!!!
All the respect for Don S Davis, his portrayal of Hammond honestly may be one of the saving graces of the show. He took an otherwise forgettable military general and made him feel more like the show's grandpa. He is still the boss, he is still a military man but he is also a human being that cares deeply about the people under his command and the integrity of that command. General Hammond would be a lot less interesting if he was just as scheming and hard brass as the rest of the generals on the show.
Love the stargate franchise
Nice video!! Actually, there are two instances of the 'funnel' effect at the back of the Stargate. It also appears in episode 215 'A Matter of Time' when the gate is connected to another entering a black hole.
I watched about 1/3 of the tv series before I watched the rerun of the film and my first thought was “why have they used different actors for the film?” When I asked my dad he said “that film was made before it was a tv show but you where too young to watch it, it would have frightening you.”

RDAs Jack O'neill is the definitive soul of SG1. Once he got promoted to general and his role was reduced the show suffered. The best episodes of the last 2 seasons were the ones where he appeared
there was some change made with Teal'c's makeup between the pilot and episode 2 as well but i cant remember what it was
I will never complain about Stargate content from WhatCulture! Maybe if the new show gets off the ground, think about an SGculture. Just brainstorming 😉

I actually hated the original movie so the fact that the creators of the original movie hated the series is very funny to me
I heard from a friend that they wanted David Hasselhoff the play O'Neill, but Richard Dean Anderson got the role.
My DVD is older than 2008, maybe I should find another copy.

*What annoyed and confused me* . Was the gate vaporizes everything within the opening vortex.. As displayed in many episodes... However the ramp at Stargate command is never touched.. Plus.. for all the walking that they had to do on many many planets. Why didn't they use motorbikes or quad bikes ???? AAArrrggghhh!!!!
@NorseGraphic
2 жыл бұрын
The ramp leading up is angled, the vortex never exceeds the radial boundaries of the gate itself, in other words - it doesn't grow 'thiccer'. The best way to move is on your feet, bikes needs gasoline and would be a waste of money/resources to ditch the entire bike _when_ it ran out of fuel.

While Vaitiare Bandera is really good looking, whether clothed or naked, that nude scene was completely unnecessary. I don't have a problem seeing girls naked, but I wish they would only do so when it has a point. Pointless sex scenes also bug me. And why is it always girls who end up nude? While I'm not interested in seeing a naked guy, that's not true for all and they almost never end up that way. Emilia Clarke once said in an interview she wished Game of Thrones was more 'equal opportunity' with it's nudity. I agree.

I have seen the "Children of the Gods" episode, and I believe the reason that Apophis has Sha're stripped nude was to see her body, and determine whether she would be a desirable "host". Apparently she did, since the symbiote or whatever that was, checked her out, and entered her. You do have point though, in that the full monty scene wasn't really necessary for audiences to see.

Totally silly to get so upset over a nude scene She probably got paid extra to do so. No one clasped her in chains and forced her to do it she could have refused to do so.
I recently saw the original pilot and was "shocked" at the full frontal. It seemed out of place in the series and unnecessary. Not that I minded, she was BEAUTIFUL, but was jarring, glad I saw it, glader they removed it.
