2:20 Teal'c is already thinking "I have not seen this weapon before, maybe there are other advanced civilizations besides the Go'auld" and this lead to him betraying the Go'auld after seeing SG-1 has other non-Go'auld tech.
Except that logic doesn’t make any logical sense due to how he knows the Asgard existed even before he defected to Earth. The only issue at the time was that they just didn’t have the numbers to do much except to intervene any planets under their treaty. But if that wasn’t an issue, he knew that technically, Asgard could’ve destroyed majority of the Goa’uld. Not all but many of the smaller weaker system lords & maybe a couple big ones.
@@123RADIOactive The Asgard was only a legend in the eyes of the Jaffa as seen in “Thor's Chariot” when Teal'c describes them. It’s much harder to act on a myth of some unknown good aliens than proof standing right in front of you.
As far as he was aware, the people if any at the other side of the gate would likely be using arrows n shit. Against which the Jaffa armor is quite good against.
Love Apophis’s face at 2:54 right after his guard is killed. Just utter disbelief and anger. Imagine you literally feel like a god 24/7 around your masses of harmless slaves. Then bam your personal guard (Best in his army including Teal’c.) gets shot by practically unarmed, primitive children.
When his personal guards start dropping Ápophis realizes the Armor he's wearing can't protect him. Ápophis armor would be better than standard issue, but it's nice to know standard issue 5.56 green tip US ammo works against aliens. :-)

I do love how the movie studio granted full use of the props, sets, even the CGI mapping from the stargate movie for the TV show, which is actually almost unheard of. BUT it is what made SG1 so much better as a tv adaptation then other attempts. It didn't feel like a cheap show of shoe strings and bad sets. Because they didn't half to waste half the budget on building a new set and prop stargate, it went towards other elements.
Still wonderin to this day how they dialed back out. No DHD. No time to manually dial out by rotating the ring. No way to repower the gate up in any case.
Well, the gate is attached to the power grid of the base (The red clamps on the gate). I like to think he used the hand thingy to space magic dial the gate
I love rewatching this scene, and how it kinda clashes with how big the setting got much later on. For a lot of seasons the show was kinda scrappy, keeping things low key and low budget before it became a Star Trek sized sci-fi franchise of doom later on. It's always funny looking back at the VERY FIRST SCENE and how Apophis, the ruler of an interstellar empire with billions of subjects and many vast interstellar warships at his disposal, is trolling through his list of Stargate addresses and walking through to confront fuck-knows-what with just some slightly blingier Jaffa armour and four redshirts, to kidnap women to be his wife! He's such a low-rent villain here! *LMAO* Anyone else remember the days when the show first started and it was kinda implied that Earth was super special because as the homeworld of humanity it had a huuuuuuuuuuge number of humans, and that's why every place they went to was a sparsely populated (and budget friendly) craphole? Ahhhhh, those were the days.
That's what i love about Stargate the most actually. They started with the Techlevel mankind had at that moment. It simply was the real human military that you chould enlist in. And you can see how they work to get new stuff. You can simply watch the last episode or the last atlantis episode and each time you see something try to name the episode they found it in.
Hey, he took Teal'c, he's not a redshirt. And he probably had Shak'l too. And before Galactic Domination, you have to get your women sorted. Priorities man.
What bothers me is that after the abduction no one mentions this airman who was captured again. We see her die, but no one at SGC mentions her during the briefing, O’Neil doesn’t ask Tealc where she is. Hammond doesn’t either even though he knows Tealc is the one who carried her through. It just seems unrealistic to me that in a military force this would just be forgotten about
Yeah, that's something that trully puzzled me. They didn't even considered a rescue party or anything like that, no one try to even find out what happened to her.
What bugs me is they wanted to keep Teal'c as a specimen but had a perfectly good dead Jaffa with them to do an autopsy on as well as the symbiote the Jaffa was carrying. Did the symbiote take someone as host during the examination and instead of gloating actually manage to get off base without detection? All Kawalski's symbiote had to do was keep his mouth shut lol.
actually it's normal at that point this was an abandoned base pretty much, the kind where you send soldier with nothing better to do to "guard" it those soldier are no part of sgc that doesnt exist yet, the only part (that doesnt make sense) if hammond being there why would you keep a general in that place at that moment is beyond me xD
"What are you doing!!?" - That's actually a legitimate question. Absolutely nothing is gained by approaching the anomaly that just spewed out what looked like a jetstream or similar. In fact, maintaining your advantageous positions in cover and notifying command is probably what regulations call for. In the other hand.. She will likely be culled before she has the chance of suffering any disciplinary actions. Darwins law and all that...

Quimper111 Yup, don’t hold your fire either... she was stupid to approach and got herself captured, now they’re all dead because we are stupidly sentimental
@@Caseytify Yeah, actually in retrospect, that is a very good excuse to sit behind a pile of boxes, throw some grenades out and just not deal with that bullshit. You can tell they're green.
It's funny. They still had the props, because you see those helmets throughout the series as set dressing, but somewhere around season 5 they stop wearing them altogether, even in the supposedly ceremonial positions. It's a shame, that's one of the iconic pieces of the Jaffa guard.
The practical one or two that they made? I mean the ones designed to open up part-way... probably not. The couple dozen they made that don't open? They might.
Even though this was the pilot episode, they snuck in the foreshadowing pretty early with Teal'c, looking at the rifle and wondering what it was and why he'd never been told about it. I remember watching this show when it first came out with my parents. They weren't big into sci-fi or anything like that but they saw I liked it so they started watching too. It was shown pretty late in the UK, at like 11 p.m. or something during the week, when I had school the next morning. They let me stay up late to watch it and then they ended up getting more into watching it than I did. Good times.
Apophis really dropped the ball here. If he never came to Earth, the Stargate project would've never been restarted and the Systemlords would've still been in charge today! And for what?! Capturing ONE female soldier, who didn't even make the "cut" as it were, just to be killed off... XD
But Anubis and the replicators would have still happened. Granted there would not have been a replicarter so that's a plus but still, I don't think he would have made it.
It is hard to tell considering how everything went. But certainly the Replicators would most likely run the galaxy. Don't think that even Anubis could beat them till he had more time to research them.
@@TheValentineEnemy true but its hard to determine who would win considering how every event led to these moments. Apophis ruled the galaxy thx to SG1 since sokar was killed and he absorbed his power and then Hero'er. Then after the fall of apophis then anubis stepped up.

I always thought it was epic, my favourite bit. Still like it but the dialing bit at the end doesnt really make sense. Yes they might have a portable dialer but how where they standing in the same position as they were before the gate opened, they couldn't have gotten of ramp and dialed it as the soldiers where coming. The scene makes it seem they just stood there while the gate activated
The history of this episode is interesting. It was originally a cable movie on cinemax. Got reworked to be the pilot episode. The had to edit out some nudity and graphic deaths.
Yeah the directors cut is amazing. They should have kept that game of thrones level of blood and nudity. But I guess audiences weren't mature enough in the 90s for it. A lot has changed in western society since.
@@shanehughes3511 The Directors actually lothed the nudity and gore. They wanted to make a family friendly series and Showtime basically said "Nah. Show some tits or you don't get to make the show."
Its annoying to see how powerful the jaffa are early on like this, taking multiple rounds and whatnot. Yet later theyre essentially cannon fodder and go down without much of a fuss. Woo plot armor
i found online that all the talk about accounting for stellar drift and the upgrading they did for the dialing computer fixed that, aparently it had something to do with the earth gate force itself to work and not doing it properly in the process which a side effect was the cold effect which makes sense cause they never even in the earlier episodes with the freezing effect never get the cold effect when arriving at earth from a different gate with a dhd its only when they go to the planet from earth.
i dont remember jaffa having bullet proof armor and also did they just go through a incoming wormhole if not and they some how deactivated and reactivated the gate, How? the go'auld never shown they can do that without a DHD
the gate deactivates at 2:08, so somehow they reactivated it (my money is on lazy screenwriting). regarding the bulletproof armor, i think they switch to armor piercing bullets or something like that (but I could be wrong and again the same reason as b4) ^^
didnt see that but still i wonder how they reactivated it to go where they want and also yah that would seem logical they went to armor peircing but you think that would be something they would say or talk about a few times in the show but i dont remember that coming up.
dragonhatcher12 In Stargate Continuum, the Goa'uld had a device that could be attached to the gate for dialing when there were no DHD present. Maybe they used that device to dial out
This whole scene is out of Star Gate rules. As far as I know, the star gate works only one way. If you want to get back, you have to open it from your position.
Lol the earth is not the only one dude... just for the asgard is litteraly all planet under their watch have security stargate... you have this legendary warrior with the cloack device and many other people do that... i think maybe you dont see all the episode lol.. Litteraly all jafa's resistant planet defend the gate like this xD
The question I have is 'What possessed Apophis to dial the Earth gate address in the first place?' How could he have known the gate was not buried anymore and available to dial to? I doubt he could have gotten the information from Ra since Ra is dead. Unless Ra had radioed a report before his death.
Perhaps, with Ra's demise, other Gou'ald saw opportunity to research and find territories that were either controlled by Ra or use to be under his domain, unclaimed by other System Lords.
nope. 5.56 breaks apart due to a much higher speed against the armor thereby less force transmitted through the metal. if you shoot 5.56 into say at someone under water your 5.56 rounds will break apart wheras your 9mm handgun rounds could possibly reach the guy since their lower velocity enables them to survive contact with the water surface.
It's not shown here but the Goa'uld have remote devices that can open the Stargate without a "DHD". I don't mind it not being shown at this point because at this point the Goa'uld mastery of the Stargate and mystery was still a big part of the plot.
@@amile3643actually I think they made it so that you only need the DHD on your side of the wormhole. We’ve seen it happen in the show too. They go through but can’t go back without some improvisation.
Even the fact that they took a soldier hostage. And the general says hold your fire when he looks at her.....yeah right sorry. But in reality they knew what they signed up for. They would have fired upon the threat even if a soldier was taken. Especially in a situation like this
RFS Korolev clearly you are a moron. Any military personnel walking into what appears to be an unfriendly ambush. Where some of their soldiers are dead and another has been held hostage would shoot and question later. Tell me is it common that you get offended over personal opinions on the internet? Use your brain
And general hammond would have been debriefed after the first visit through the stargate. Or have you not watched the movie? He would have known only too well from the military personnel who came back through the stargate what they could be.
Your stupidity is astounding honestly. 1. They had people stationed at the stargate for a reason. Because they would know it needed to be guarded they wouldn't do that with just anything. 2. General hammond had been debriefed from the previous sg1 travel (the movie) he would know straight away that it was a threat. 3. Those soldiers are expendable in terms of the military. Civilians are not. They just walked into a room with dead soldiers and in reality they wouldn't have just stood there and done nothing if aliens came to our planet immediately the military would be on the defence. Let alone if they showed hositily. You think the military would be sitting ducks? 4. This argument is pointless. Clearly you have no idea what this series is about and quite obviously you haven't seen the movie. Calling someone a moron when your stupidity is profound is just comical.
RFS Korolev you should open your eyes in their point of view what is one soldier compared to a whole base of personnel or earth itself in this situation.
RFS Korolev wow go eat a snickers or something you offended little thing you. ;-) watch the movie while you are at it. But given that it isnt G rated I'm not surprised you haven't seen it. Also if you cant understand this much of it you would have no hope understanding the rest of it. Enjoy though. ;)
You don't just stand in one spot and open up. You fire and move, fire and move, fire and move. Stand in one spot and you're a casualty. 2nd rule of a gunfight: If you aren't firing you should be reloading. If you aren't reloading, you should be moving. If you aren't moving, you're dead. I prefer the the first rule, though. Always win. Cheat if necessary.
I honestly don't like the whole beam teleport thing that was introduced early on in the series. It kinda made the iconic, multi ring transporter fuckin redundant and basically became an easy get out of jail free card for the characters whenever they were in trouble. I just prefer the idea that although teleportation technology exists you'll always need to have some set or series of *"tele-pads"* or 'pillars' (like those kinda cool asgard totem lookin things from that episode about Thor's hammer) connected to each other in a network of sorts. This also made vehicles like space craft or even ground transport more relevant and provided clear, defined choke points to be used by both protagonists and antagonists, which at times added much appreciated strategic depth and tactical craftiness to the dance of danger and the experience of exploration. That's what the beam, *star trek knockoff teleportation in later seasons lacked,* it wasn't iconic, it was derivative, and didn't have that *monument like mystic* that the rings transporter or the even asgard totem teleporter had.
System Lords have mini-dialing devices on their arms. You see several do this in the series. Just like there are dialing devices in the puddle jumpers in Stargate Atlantis
That's quite realistic. During the Christopher Dorner manhunt, police opened fire on civilians multiple times without warning within the same day. Police fired 102 rounds at a truck (counting bulletholes only) at a unarmed grandma and her daughter delivering newspapers, failing to kill either of them. They failing to match the vehicle description and failed to warn the civilian occupants or even try and stop the vehicle, they just opened fire wildly in panic. 25 minutes after that incident further away, a separate police officer failed to match the vehicle description and fired upon another truck with a civilian in it without warning. And there were yet more blunders that day. When people with guns panic, they just start firing wildly.
Es raro ver como muchas series viejas tenían la filosofía de "no traten de memorizar todo lo que ocurre en el primer capítulo, vamos a retconear algunas cosas por el bien de la trama", como es el caso aquí de las formidables armadura Jaffa o los dispositivos de marcado xd
Fun fact: there is a mistake in this scene. Before the ramp starts to shake you can see the hand of a crew member holding on to the ramps railing furthest from the camera so they could shake it.
Not army; USAF. Cheyenne Mountain is an Air Force installation; they were USAF security troops. More akin to MPs than actual field troops, they are tasked with providing security at USAF installations.
They are not prepared for this event...everyone thought there was only two stargates, theirs and the one on abydoss, and Jack told them that one was destroyed... They wee not expecting other goual'd or jaffa too come though the gate. In fact the whole facility as mentioned was being decommissioned for ages now.
The Stargate exists not only in Germany but also in Russia or other countries, depending on which Goa'uld rule or pass through the gate. It is even possible that there is no Scaara or Sha're at all, depending on the location the Goa'uld can be even more evil and powerful. What I didn't know is that there are not only red Goa'uld in space, but also Goa'uld who have blue eyes. The gate serves as an international connection for various travelers. I can only say that the golden Apophis is a variant, depending on that Goa'uld can also appear with completely different characters or Goa'uld with completely different Jaffas, recently even the Cenobites can use the Stargate, there is even a gate in RES "Resident Evil" no joke.
Amazing to think that Apophis' hornyquest would cascade into the upending of the political orders in four whole-ass galaxies (Milky Way, Pegasus, Ida, and Ori Home Galaxy) the end of multiple advanced civilizations, and the death of an entire race of beings who were as close to gods as you could get, all at the hands of a bunch of relentlessly chaotic hairless apes who had to more or less hotwire their Stargate just to get it to work yet managed to become the inheritors to the legacies to the two most advanced species in the history of the known universe.
Oh wow this looks quite good. I'm surprised i haven't really ever watched this show .might have to do so.must admit i love the x files tv show from the 90s.
I love SG-1 and I loved the movie Stargate when it came out in the mid 1990s. I saw it in the cinema if I remember correctly. I still remember my first reaction to the pilot. I wasn't really overwhelmed by it and thought it looked kinda cheap and stupid. The opening of the serpent head was the thing that struck me as dumb, this is what I was used to seeing: ua-cam.com/video/Z-hoEoga8no/v-deo.html at time mark 2.00. So the pilots version left me a bit dissapointed. Luckily the series turned out to be very enjoyable.
The system lords should have stuck to their original Jaffa armor. Apparently they switched to a lousier version in later times. Then it only took a few rounds from a P90 to take them down.
nope. that armor is bullet proof. it is why bullets bounce off. what was killing the Jaffa was force being transferred through the armor. it is why they switched to p90s which are meant for armor piercing duty.
And just as important, he also gave the Ta ri some Goa-uld STD's to study and develop a better vaccine for those less, er, combative off-world liasons.
I understand they did this for budgetary reasons, but it always bothered me that the show never attempted to represent the whirlpool effect behind the gate as shown in the film.
That’s why Marines were deployed after the first contact. Had the Marines were in the gate room guarding it, they would dropped more Jaffas and probably none kidnapped.
Why is there still no Star Gate video game ...
there was but it was cancelled
and again
the last stargate game was discontinued
there have been several stargate video games. stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Apps

Indeed
Still wonderin to this day how they dialed back out. No DHD. No time to manually dial out by rotating the ring. No way to repower the gate up in any case.
Manually by physically rotating the gate
They had devices, that could interact with the stargate if i remember, hence where they got their teleportation tech
To this day, I had not even noticed that.
Well, the gate is attached to the power grid of the base (The red clamps on the gate).

Epic intro to an epic show. They don't make them like that anymore.
I always thought it was epic, my favourite bit. Still like it but the dialing bit at the end doesnt really make sense. Yes they might have a portable dialer but how where they standing in the same position as they were before the gate opened, they couldn't have gotten of ramp and dialed it as the soldiers where coming. The scene makes it seem they just stood there while the gate activated
The history of this episode is interesting.
It was originally a cable movie on cinemax.
Got reworked to be the pilot episode.
The had to edit out some nudity and graphic deaths.
Yeah the directors cut is amazing. They should have kept that game of thrones level of blood and nudity. But I guess audiences weren't mature enough in the 90s for it. A lot has changed in western society since.
@@shanehughes3511 ...in a bad way too
@@shanehughes3511 The Directors actually lothed the nudity and gore.
They wanted to make a family friendly series and Showtime basically said "Nah. Show some tits or you don't get to make the show."
Amazing how such a great show eventually sprung from such... ahem... humble beginnings.
Its annoying to see how powerful the jaffa are early on like this, taking multiple rounds and whatnot. Yet later theyre essentially cannon fodder and go down without much of a fuss.
Woo plot armor
This moment always hits me in the feels
You serving false gods
Anyone remembers the frosting they were putting on SG-1 when they were coming through the gate in the early episodes? ;)
i found online that all the talk about accounting for stellar drift and the upgrading they did for the dialing computer fixed that, aparently it had something to do with the earth gate force itself to work and not doing it properly in the process which a side effect was the cold effect which makes sense cause they never even in the earlier episodes with the freezing effect never get the cold effect when arriving at earth from a different gate with a dhd its only when they go to the planet from earth.
I remember gas was less than $2 a gallon.
peprish farms remebers
@@rsrt6910 .99 cents....Obama changed that over night....
Sam Carter fixed that at some point. Probably by overriding some security protocols, as she likes to do.
And that is when Apophis sealed his fate and the rest of the system lords.
fitting for a "god" named apophis.
Hey, destruction is Nirrti's job...
i dont remember jaffa having bullet proof armor and also did they just go through a incoming wormhole if not and they some how deactivated and reactivated the gate, How? the go'auld never shown they can do that without a DHD
Apophis also forgot his shield and that it might be wise to just send some Jaffa instead risking his own life.
the gate deactivates at 2:08, so somehow they reactivated it (my money is on lazy screenwriting). regarding the bulletproof armor, i think they switch to armor piercing bullets or something like that (but I could be wrong and again the same reason as b4) ^^
didnt see that but still i wonder how they reactivated it to go where they want and also yah that would seem logical they went to armor peircing but you think that would be something they would say or talk about a few times in the show but i dont remember that coming up.
They were OP so a patch was released.
dragonhatcher12 In Stargate Continuum, the Goa'uld had a device that could be attached to the gate for dialing when there were no DHD present. Maybe they used that device to dial out
This whole scene is out of Star Gate rules. As far as I know, the star gate works only one way. If you want to get back, you have to open it from your position.
Great! Now I have to watch the whole series over again...again!
That face at 2:55-56 😂😂
"Oh. Fuck. He's dead."
Yeah,i'm much laughing😅😂
It always cracks me up, that Earth is the only planet ever, where there is a guard post at the stargate.
Everyone else is just chilling with the door open lol
Cause the rest of the humans are basically cattle, mining Naquada and waiting to be eaten. .
Lol the earth is not the only one dude... just for the asgard is litteraly all planet under their watch have security stargate... you have this legendary warrior with the cloack device and many other people do that... i think maybe you dont see all the episode lol.. Litteraly all jafa's resistant planet defend the gate like this xD
The other planets don't have 😅😂 is pure joke.
I love how hammond was staring down on Apophis when he first sees him
I don’t know who you are, but I’m not afraid to face you.
Now That’s a general.
nice to meet you lol, a polite goauld
I've seen this episode a bunch of times and I remember it very differently
It the best one
Describe in detail how you you remember it.
I remember there was a midget and someone impersonating Christopher Walken... ... ... It's also possible my meds are kicking in.
Good thing Teal'c put his helmet back on before Hammond arrived, otherwise he would have a bad time explaining.
@Jay Godiz That he was a part of the attack, duh.
JAFFAAAAA ! KRIIIII !! =D
The question I have is 'What possessed Apophis to dial the Earth gate address in the first place?' How could he have known the gate was not buried anymore and available to dial to? I doubt he could have gotten the information from Ra since Ra is dead. Unless Ra had radioed a report before his death.
Maybe he was just busy browsing through a catalog and thought it interesting.... Would make sense that the Goa'uld keep address lists too.
Perhaps, with Ra's demise, other Gou'ald saw opportunity to research and find territories that were either controlled by Ra or use to be under his domain, unclaimed by other System Lords.
Apophis runs his own call centers.
He used the old Goa'uld phishing scam and got Ra's account numbers.
The adventure begins....
(TRULY begins!)
The Jaffa never again achieve the level of competence they had in this first episode.
5.56 NATO out f an M-16 couldn't kill them but 9mm from an MP5 could? Stargate logic.
Yep major inconsistencys in this episode.
nope. 5.56 breaks apart due to a much higher speed against the armor thereby less force transmitted through the metal. if you shoot 5.56 into say at someone under water your 5.56 rounds will break apart wheras your 9mm handgun rounds could possibly reach the guy since their lower velocity enables them to survive contact with the water surface.
Then why do 7.62 x 39's from AK-47's have better penetration than the 5.56?
Different ammunition maybe? The P90s later were also using special ammo
@toomanyaccounts
I love physics
I thought was funny how everyone thought that Apophis was Ra, even though Ra was dead.
with no dhd, how did they open the portal? Also, after watching all of SG1 and Atlantis, I can report that this show is straight fire in a good way.
because the plot required them to. I think it was fixed in a later edit
It's not shown here but the Goa'uld have remote devices that can open the Stargate without a "DHD". I don't mind it not being shown at this point because at this point the Goa'uld mastery of the Stargate and mystery was still a big part of the plot.
@@amile3643actually I think they made it so that you only need the DHD on your side of the wormhole. We’ve seen it happen in the show too. They go through but can’t go back without some improvisation.
Watched this when it came out. Netflix revived it. UA-cam immortalises it. So glad to just read comments from my family.
This want me to watch the whole season again
One of the few times that Jaffa wore reliable non-Redshirt armour
Did not understand english when I watched this as a child. Maybe I should watch it again.
Yes,i'm not understand too,but I'm understand english now 😂😅
I love how the did ra theme song here to show the gouald are back
This is what happens when you put the Chair Force in charge of guarding anything.
Even the fact that they took a soldier hostage. And the general says hold your fire when he looks at her.....yeah right sorry. But in reality they knew what they signed up for. They would have fired upon the threat even if a soldier was taken. Especially in a situation like this
RFS Korolev clearly you are a moron. Any military personnel walking into what appears to be an unfriendly ambush. Where some of their soldiers are dead and another has been held hostage would shoot and question later. Tell me is it common that you get offended over personal opinions on the internet? Use your brain
And general hammond would have been debriefed after the first visit through the stargate. Or have you not watched the movie? He would have known only too well from the military personnel who came back through the stargate what they could be.
Your stupidity is astounding honestly.
1. They had people stationed at the stargate for a reason. Because they would know it needed to be guarded they wouldn't do that with just anything.
2. General hammond had been debriefed from the previous sg1 travel (the movie) he would know straight away that it was a threat.
3. Those soldiers are expendable in terms of the military. Civilians are not. They just walked into a room with dead soldiers and in reality they wouldn't have just stood there and done nothing if aliens came to our planet immediately the military would be on the defence. Let alone if they showed hositily. You think the military would be sitting ducks?
4. This argument is pointless. Clearly you have no idea what this series is about and quite obviously you haven't seen the movie.
Calling someone a moron when your stupidity is profound is just comical.
RFS Korolev you should open your eyes in their point of view what is one soldier compared to a whole base of personnel or earth itself in this situation.
RFS Korolev wow go eat a snickers or something you offended little thing you. ;-) watch the movie while you are at it. But given that it isnt G rated I'm not surprised you haven't seen it. Also if you cant understand this much of it you would have no hope understanding the rest of it. Enjoy though. ;)
In Q2'18, to me, still a very good intruduction. It reminds me of the tragic beginning of the Trojan War.
02:09 pause it and tell me Apophis doesn't look like the kid waiting in the back of the line for ice cream
She's very brave 🥰
She's very stupid.
But she captured by apophis,and became Queen.
@@diegopanzariello4433 unfortunately
You don't just stand in one spot and open up. You fire and move, fire and move, fire and move. Stand in one spot and you're a casualty. 2nd rule of a gunfight: If you aren't firing you should be reloading. If you aren't reloading, you should be moving. If you aren't moving, you're dead. I prefer the the first rule, though. Always win. Cheat if necessary.
I like this scene,very good.
So much better than the last few seasons when it became more like Stargate Trek with all the ships.
I honestly don't like the whole beam teleport thing that was introduced early on in the series. It kinda made the iconic, multi ring transporter fuckin redundant and basically became an easy get out of jail free card for the characters whenever they were in trouble. I just prefer the idea that although teleportation technology exists you'll always need to have some set or series of *"tele-pads"* or 'pillars' (like those kinda cool asgard totem lookin things from that episode about Thor's hammer) connected to each other in a network of sorts. This also made vehicles like space craft or even ground transport more relevant and provided clear, defined choke points to be used by both protagonists and antagonists, which at times added much appreciated strategic depth and tactical craftiness to the dance of danger and the experience of exploration.
That's what the beam, *star trek knockoff teleportation in later seasons lacked,* it wasn't iconic, it was derivative, and didn't have that *monument like mystic* that the rings transporter or the even asgard totem teleporter had.
@@navilluscire2567 Yup. Stargate was iconic. Using the gate to travel was iconic. They ditched it.
Well, I'm confused. The gate deactivated after they came through? Then it's suddenly active again for Apophis to leave? How did he do that?
DPD: Dial-plot-device
someone on the other side reactivated the gate on cue under Apophis' order maybe?
His Jaffa can manually dial the gate by spinning the ring. It's been done on the show.
worm hole can trough you only one way, from the point of dialing
System Lords have mini-dialing devices on their arms. You see several do this in the series. Just like there are dialing devices in the puddle jumpers in Stargate Atlantis
I just noticed before the cut at 0:37 the ring is rolling anti-clockwise but after the cut it is rolling clockwise
I love the title!!
3:20
Hehe... sounds like he said, "Dial spin,"
More thinking dial me
It's clear that all their military training went out the window
they went full Prometheus on this.
That's quite realistic. During the Christopher Dorner manhunt, police opened fire on civilians multiple times without warning within the same day. Police fired 102 rounds at a truck (counting bulletholes only) at a unarmed grandma and her daughter delivering newspapers, failing to kill either of them. They failing to match the vehicle description and failed to warn the civilian occupants or even try and stop the vehicle, they just opened fire wildly in panic. 25 minutes after that incident further away, a separate police officer failed to match the vehicle description and fired upon another truck with a civilian in it without warning. And there were yet more blunders that day. When people with guns panic, they just start firing wildly.
Looking back, this scene has sooooo much wrong with it in terms of writing.
The entire first episode is very, interesting.
Ok,I thought no one noticed that they walked thru that incoming wormhole.
looking back? FS, anybody watching this the first time and not thinking this is dumb af, needs a serious head check!
cant stop laughing at the goofy snake head guys throwing themselves down
The iconic boots of thumping when the jaffa walks.
Es raro ver como muchas series viejas tenían la filosofía de "no traten de memorizar todo lo que ocurre en el primer capítulo, vamos a retconear algunas cosas por el bien de la trama", como es el caso aquí de las formidables armadura Jaffa o los dispositivos de marcado xd
ESA serie es memorable,lo assisti toda,saludos de Brazil.
Fun fact: there is a mistake in this scene. Before the ramp starts to shake you can see the hand of a crew member holding on to the ramps railing furthest from the camera so they could shake it.
'Scuse me while I rewatch the whole franchise now.
WTF there is no way any Army soldier on a facility will be that incompetent.
Not army; USAF. Cheyenne Mountain is an Air Force installation; they were USAF security troops. More akin to MPs than actual field troops, they are tasked with providing security at USAF installations.
Still super incompetent.
Most no names are incompetent. At least they can shoot. Red shirts are by far much more stoopid.
They are not prepared for this event...everyone thought there was only two stargates, theirs and the one on abydoss, and Jack told them that one was destroyed...
They wee not expecting other goual'd or jaffa too come though the gate.
In fact the whole facility as mentioned was being decommissioned for ages now.
Richard Jenkins u think usa army is like in movies hahaha
Why did they hold fire instead of just shooting them in the face?
Apophis and the General were once lovers.
they had one of theirs hostage.
because aliens could have been much more powerful and it's stupid to be aggressive wthout a good reason
because they're dumb and the writers are idiots.
2:07 WoW… i remember when i see this for the first time on TV
The Stargate exists not only in Germany but also in Russia or other countries, depending on which Goa'uld rule or pass through the gate.
It is even possible that there is no Scaara or Sha're at all, depending on the location the Goa'uld can be even more evil and powerful.
What I didn't know is that there are not only red Goa'uld in space, but also Goa'uld who have blue eyes.
The gate serves as an international connection for various travelers.
I can only say that the golden Apophis is a variant, depending on that Goa'uld can also appear with completely different characters or Goa'uld with completely different Jaffas, recently even the Cenobites can use the Stargate, there is even a gate in RES "Resident Evil" no joke.
The Alienware brand that some may know is not a joke, there is some truth to it.
One of the few times you could actually say 'Armour kree!'
Amazing to think that Apophis' hornyquest would cascade into the upending of the political orders in four whole-ass galaxies (Milky Way, Pegasus, Ida, and Ori Home Galaxy) the end of multiple advanced civilizations, and the death of an entire race of beings who were as close to gods as you could get, all at the hands of a bunch of relentlessly chaotic hairless apes who had to more or less hotwire their Stargate just to get it to work yet managed to become the inheritors to the legacies to the two most advanced species in the history of the known universe.
New true silver Stargate, New enemies, New Technologies, Advanced Goauld 😄😄😄
Ever wonder how they left with no DHD to dial back out? I always thought that the wormhole was unidirectional?
apophis had an Dial Home Device (DHD) portable
General Hammond: Do you mean to tell me that when we abandoned the stargate nobody thought to close the iris!?
Had no Iris at that point.
2:47, that second when he got hits. You can feel the power of the staff and impact
Then they became something anybody could shrug off
@@AzureRoseMarshal yes sadly.. Still a great hero show.
How did they dial out?
I was about to comment that
OMFG GO WATCH THE SHOW AND MOVIE FIRST
2000rayc lol I have seen everything Stargate has ever made. There is no DHD & it's an out going hole lol
Baal uses a mini DHD thingy in continuum
TheUltimateChuchu ohh ok ty
This is the best series ever!
I always thought the stargate was one way only, and one had to "dial up" from the end one departs from.
That's exactly right. It's an inconsistency since this was the pilot episode of the series.
You can clearly see the stargate being powered down after they enter. How they dialed back on the other hand is a little weird.
Oh wow this looks quite good. I'm surprised i haven't really ever watched this show .might have to do so.must admit i love the x files tv show from the 90s.
Out there in the Universe there a lot of Stargates, one for every person on the earth :D
I love SG-1 and I loved the movie Stargate when it came out in the mid 1990s. I saw it in the cinema if I remember correctly. I still remember my first reaction to the pilot. I wasn't really overwhelmed by it and thought it looked kinda cheap and stupid. The opening of the serpent head was the thing that struck me as dumb, this is what I was used to seeing: ua-cam.com/video/Z-hoEoga8no/v-deo.html at time mark 2.00. So the pilots version left me a bit dissapointed. Luckily the series turned out to be very enjoyable.
The system lords should have stuck to their original Jaffa armor. Apparently they switched to a lousier version in later times. Then it only took a few rounds from a P90 to take them down.
When you wear a power armor but only the helmet is equipped.
I never got why they didn't have remote-fire machineguns set up just in case.
I think the new "IRIS" is now a lot of bigger :D
No main alarm button? This thing can breach other worlds BOTH WAYS and there's a skeleton crew of knuckleheads guarding it.
5.56mm and 9mm would go right through Jaffa Armor, .38 Special and .45 would go right through their armor too.
nope. that armor is bullet proof. it is why bullets bounce off. what was killing the Jaffa was force being transferred through the armor. it is why they switched to p90s which are meant for armor piercing duty.
Jaffa armor got nerfed after the first few episodes.
i always assumed teal'c gave them his armor to study and develop a better round.
And just as important, he also gave the Ta ri some Goa-uld STD's to study and develop a better vaccine for those less, er, combative off-world liasons.
Major inconsistencys all over this episode.
Didn't the symbol on Teal'c's head flip back and forth for a bit?
It's probably a visual indication of his allegiance to Apophis.
We'll all be getting one soon to show our devotion to diversity.
His eyes glowed.
I understand they did this for budgetary reasons, but it always bothered me that the show never attempted to represent the whirlpool effect behind the gate as shown in the film.
That’s why Marines were deployed after the first contact. Had the Marines were in the gate room guarding it, they would dropped more Jaffas and probably none kidnapped.
why would there have been marines in a US air force facilities on the verge of closure?
How did they open the gate to go back? I have seen other times where the Stargate was opened without the DHD or dialling computer.
Perhaps someone redialed the gate from the other side on cue?
Currently Apophis "Baal" is at the gates :D
1) The open wormhole allowed 2 way travel unless something was edited out.
2) BUT, most importantly, who had the best hand in the poker game?
Apophis sounds like Netanyahu
Of course 😅😂
SO, no one took a head shot on Apophis or Tel'c at that distance? It should be easy, even by Air Force standards.
Goaulds are trending!
