- I love Richards character development as at the beginning he didn’t really care about anyone but at the end of series 5 he really showed himself to be a good leader. I hope you all enjoy!! As always if you have any suggestions about a character/video idea you have don’t hesitate to ask, all suggestions are welcome!

Computer, activate Emergency Command Hologram.
Please state the nature of budgetary emergency.

Best star trek doctor
😉🤣🤣
No it’s the EBH. Emergency Bureaucratic Hologram.
Woolsey was so well written. Originally meant to be unlikable and as an antagonistic force, you come to see that while he is critical of the leadership of stargate command, he is also a firm supporter of it and wants it to remain in good hands.
That's why he's so critical of it, because he recognises the importance of it and wants to be constantly making sure, and re-making-sure that the best people are running it all the while keeping malevolent forces from within the U.S government from gaining control of the program for their own nefarious ends.
It's also that he's well acted. Robert picardo and an interview mentioned that each time he came back he slightly revised wolsey's given circumstances.
That’s deep.
I love how Woolsey knew that Ronan would not like writing reports so he thought of a way to make it more convenient for him
He understands his people.
Woolsey is treated as a bearucrat but with a heart and clever mind. Awesome character
Woolsey was prepared for 'i don't write good.' but got blindsided by 'i don't talk good either'
He should have worked with tealc. Did you file a report? Indeed. Did you bring it with you? Indeed. Can..i have it? Yes you can.
*talks about 2 hours about all the interesting things he saw and can connect to other things*
O'Neill paperwork avoidance syndrome
I liked all the Cmdrs of Atlantis, Weir because she was full of wonder, and the city, the galaxy was unknown, very Season 1 of Stargate,. Carter brought experience and wisdom from the Milky Way, and Woolsey brought order, honesty and gravitas to Atlantis and the Atlantis team. Weir was the Colonial Leader, Carter was the Military Cmdr and Woolsey was the Atlantian Governor.
You really should have included when Woolsey was talking about his grandfather having Alzheimer's. That was a beautifully written and acted scene.
Oh my gosh!! I completely forgot about this scene!! I’ll try and fit it into some other video, I do have some ideas! Thank you!
At least we got it in the pinned comment. But yea the moment was great and I love the whole episode
What season and Episode is that from?
I can't remember that scene at all 😑
@@Menhtrol I don't remember the exact episode number but it was the episode where Rodney had the parasite that regressed his mental acuity to that of a child's. I will see if I can find it. I also might be wrong on which relative Woolsey was talking about.
@@Menhtrol Season 5 Episode 6 "The Shrine"
12:00, something I always find funny is that Ronon is from a planet equivalent to the 1930s, and was in special ops. So either he's doing it on purpose, his people didn't do mission reports, or the funniest thought, this is the actual Satedan Planetary Forces equivalent of a mission report.
Yeah, but Ronon is not exactly the special forces type any more. Far to undiciplines, uncontrolled and not a great team player. But I suggest getting hunted by wraith for sport for years does change you.
@@Ork20111 Hm, good point. He does seem more together in the flashbacks we see on Sateda. At the same time, I do wonder if given his planet and what we know of his people, the discipline thing might just be different or less advanced than Earth. They might not have had the sheer amount of training and expertise Earth special forces have. The Cold War had a big impact on military discipline, especially for special forces, after all.
@@davidstalley384 good point🤣
I loved the scene where Todd wanted to shake hand with him as a joke. I would have been ballsy enough to take it.
I’ll be doing a video about him in the future so look out for that!
Depends , which hand.
I love Woolsey I honestly would argue he was one of the best leaders on the Atlantis expedition.
@@lobbyskids2 agreed and his knowledge of law etc made him an excellent negotiator. In the novels that follow the end of Atlantis the Wraith approach the Tauri to settle a treaty. Basically they want to end the war and divide the galaxy between the two. I guarantee Woolsey helped negotiate that
@@lobbyskids2 yeah for the most part and new ones. For the most part the books are pretty good ill be honest and would have made great seasons. But there are some inconsistencies in the books like the bc304s lack the asgard beam weapons for some odd reason but Definitely worth it as a sga fan
Not to be picky but that Felt More Like colonel O'Neill being iconic for the first part of that but Richard is always a good Wing man
Yes, very true. But they were too funny not to add in 😂
@@TheFaceOfWhoDWTSG that I can absolutely agree with lol x
General O’Neill, but whatevs
He always tends to steal his scenes lol. Not through fault of RDA, it's just O'neill is such a fun character.
Woolsey was a good character, first written to be unlikable, but had amazing development and ended as one I loved.
Originally I didn't like him but he grew on me quickly
Kind of like Rodney ? At least for me anyway! I recently watched SG1 and at the beginning he is quite annoying but after he joins Atlantis he becomes such a great character! I’m glad you enjoyed! ❤️
Like a fungus, but an interesting one 🤣
Great character!
Brilliant character development
@@TheFaceOfWhoDWTSG they got better in SG-1 and showed hints of potential for these characters
just to point out: the scene where Woolsey goes I can do this. When he is captured, you can see a lot of spent shell casings. So he really did try to fight. But P90 don't exactly work against Asurans
Woolsey went from crunching numbers to pushing papers to see when it is neccesary to go above and beyond. I truly liked him in the end and thought he was an excellent leader in many ways. When Rodney was suffering from that dementia parasite it was not off straight to earth but allowed the trip to this "mythical" place that turned out to be radioactive. And his speech about his father having Alzheimers hit extra hard because my grandfather had it.
Robert Picardo is one of the best actors in stargate and scifi in general
I can't stand how Woolsey has his finger on the trigger the whole time. It makes me so anxious, I mean, common dude.
Not a professional soldier, a professional bureaucrat more like.
I guess O'Neill didn't mention "and keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to shoot" when he was going through gun tips :(
Bonus O'Neill being iconic for 5 minutes
Accurate 😂
When was O'Neill ever not iconic?
i really liked elizabeth being in command it just hit different
Yes, Elizabeth was amazing! But I love the way Richard was like annoying in season 2 but he really showed himself in season 5, maybe not in the first few episodes but eventually he did. I also loved Sam being in command.
Elizabeth
It’s a real shame how Elizabeth’s character ended up. Wish she had more closure. Same with Ford.
@@TKinfinity01 She gets more closure in the books. SPOILER: It's the same kind of closure most main characters in Stargate get.
@@yevgeniygorbachev5152 I don’t mind if it’s spoiled. What happened?
i like how they brought the EMH vibe into this show
12:05 Best. Mission. Report. EVER! Thanks for that Ronon! XD
The fact Atlantis has a balcony on a remote building accessible only by transporter with no local access to anything or way to get into the building its on can only have existed for elaborate prank purposes.
It must have had some access, else how did he walk back?
13:32 "This is where I come..."
I'm astounded Stargate went that far.
11:39 All the IOA needs to know is that Michael was stopped. Woolsey has even mentioned several times that the IOA doesn't really care about the all details just as long as the job gets done. Mr. Coolidge even confirms this in Midway when Coolidge asks Ronon why he should be allowed to become an official member and Ronon replies that he is "Good at killing Wraith." and Coolidge accepts it. Nothing wrong with Simplicity.
12:14 I always love the little smile he has that goes right into the trope "Actually pretty funny". X')
"You poached my private spot" is certainly a pickup line of all time
"I´ve been sitting next to you through the whole thing. Why do you think i have more information?" - Classic Jack
I love how Jack is hiding from army trying to murder him while explosions are going off and he's with someone who is no help etc and he's not stressed at all, just chilling out because he's got faith that he'll get rescued
Not so sure if he has faith. This is called "embrace the fuck" in military terms. Basicly means to just accept a bad sitaution you can not change and don't get agitated over it.
Ty, I always detested his character so much but lately clips have really made me like and understand him more
That’s great! I know that at the beginning especially in sg1 he’s extremely annoying but by the end he really grows and turns into a really great person!
A lot of characters that annoyed ppl in SG1 got a redemption ark in SGA and that was truly one of my fave things about the franchise
Rohan’s mission report is very hilarious. 3 lines only and straight to the point
Please state the nature of the medical emergency.
The EMH sure is moving up in the world XD
Richard Woolsey is the kind of man that always finishes last and NEVER pulls out.
This was awesome. Thank you for this
Once Woolsey figured out the "game" and the "rules" then he was on "his" game.
Wait what?
@@postbunnie Political maneuvering was his strength from working in D.C. and the IOA.
@@kurtsnyder4752 oh OK I thought with the game being in quotes it was some sort of reference that I didn’t get. Which it was haha but political maneuvering never made sense to me, so thanks for clarifying!
Superbly written and acted.
"You're going to love them. They have a great sense of humor."
"Really?"
"No. They have the emotional range an EMH."
"Of a what?"
"...Sorry, wrong show."
(re: prison door opening) Poor Rodney -- I bet it would be going better if O'Neill didn't keep interrupting!
😂 I think that every time
It could have been my towering intelligence my incredible legal arguments.... Or the fat bribe I offered - Richard Worsley
Most of the time, Wolsey was the only adult in the room while everyone else was acting like overexicted, edgy or broody teenagers.
He represented reality, and reality is boring.
You poached my private spot😂😂😂
13:23 HAHAHA
"this is where i come"..."to be alone with my thoughts" 😂😂😂
AHAHAHAHAAHHA ME BEFORE EXAMS AAKAHAHAHH comedy gold right there
Daniel Prior/Ancient bullying Woo is my favorite SG1 scene lol sith choke hold
Yeah that scene is funny as hell.
But his conversation with Jack was still the best
Lukily he grown into a fine leader!!!!!!
Face of the Wraith left from Todd at 8:52 is perfect!
I love the Dr....eh, I mean Woolsey.
citing an earth priest (or any thinker) to an alien to impress them is the most out of touch Woolsey has ever been lol.
Did the doctor finally find a name?
13:02 Yeah
love him or hate him, he was awesome and you could not help, but, love him, well, in the Atlantis series anyway haha
Side note, General O'Neill 🥰
Robert Picardo did an amazing job turning Dick into a good character.
5:34 when found a sitich
you know a politician ,aka an administrator that developed ther social competence ..but knows ther 'papers' perspective on a lot of things might not give the best perspective ,yet knows how to use that talent in a diplomatic role and leet other elements ..use.. them in that role as a tool when need be..
can be a great asset
Please state the nature of the diplomatic emergency
whis is why if the expaditionary force tv show ever gets off the ground robert picardo should play hans chotek.
Why are the credits flipped horizontally @1:20?
Cause the website I got it from was already flipped, I think it’s for copyright reasons.
SIde note, I don't remember ever seeing or learning anything about Teyla's husband..? Did I miss an episode?
7:00
A very rare gem, indeed.
Plan C-4
Me: C4
Replicator: hit
In SG1 I really disliked Woolsey, Weir and McKay but SGA really got me to like all 3 of them. I think a lot of that just had to do with having time to show the viewer more than one side of them.
It helps that those characters became the protagonists that we were meant to love instead of antagonists that our beloved heroes is having issues dealing with. When the perspective shifts, it becomes easy to like those characters. We are conditioned to like the protagonists of stories.
Because they developed them. SG1 McKay was overconfident in everything, while SGA McKay was very anxious. Sadly when they had the crossover involving the Ori, they regressed sheppard and McKay's relationship having Sheppard join in on the hate on McKay. Woolsey in SG1 was uncaring, bureaucrat, while in SGA, he instead acted as a mature leader. SG1 Weir wasn't the worst but had her hands tied most of the time, in SGA, she didn't because there was no connection to earth.
Tried to watch SG1 again but it's had it's day & I preferred Stargate Atlantis and Stargate Universe better.
Why have a gun in his hand if it wont kill replicators
he is an american :)
I hated this dude , but his character development was astonishing. So now i like him. Kinda similar to Colonel Maybourne's journey. Ha was an asshole and by the time he become a respected and good King on an another planet.
oh please...
8:51 AN historic day? Wouldn’t it just be a historic day. You only use an in front of the letter H when the h is silent
I prefer the Woolsey of ROTA.
I'm cheering John & Tela. But when she got pregnant, I thought " Who wrote that in the script?" Fail. . .
She did lol they made her pregnant cause she was pregnant in real life :)
Robert who? Robert Picardo, of course.😊
Robert who ? :))
Why slow it down? Avoid copyright strikes? Then dont upload it...this is annoying af
I bet this is one of those videos that is ruined by the uploaded writing nonsense no one cares about over the scenes.
Never liked the Woolsey character.
