Hammond of Texas was a brave and noble warrior and an honest and righteous leader for his people. He shall be sorely missed, and he shall always be remembered with reverence and awe!
This is one of those planets I kinda wish they'd revisited once they got ships. It'd really stick it to them for the SGC to come back in a few years in a 304, beam these guys up, then dump them on their own prison planet.
One of the most profound cases of this is “Foothold”. For having a high degree of mystery, the episode left a kind of legacy for the rest of the series.
Amazing how early season stargate was littered with empires and stand alone stories and then later on almost completely abandoned this style of storytelling in favor of a form of arc storytelling. I think the show lost a bit when it did this. This era produced Linea, the strange plant like people, people being duplicated in Cold Lazarus and then others like Torment of Tantalus.
It would have been really cool for the Tau'ri to return to some of these worlds. By the end of the series they'd have overtaken most of them technologically so the relationship would be completely different. Assuming that the world itself hadn't changed a lot in the meantime as well, having had their own interactions with the other factions in the galaxy just like the Tau'ri did.
Because once you change direction like that especially after the show went on it would had to have made a change especially finally really dealing damage to the Goauld like season 5 through 8 it really reached that point.
It's really a shame because small strong civilizations like this are how we could see something like that one criminal syndicate government actually existing despite the might of Anubis & other major system lords
To be fair TV in general moved from episodic to a longer form story telling around the late 90s early 2000's as shows like The Sopranos in 2000, The Wire in 2002 and Six Feet Under in 2001 got super popular and writers and networks everywhere started chasing that form of TV also. I agree though, I miss it. Its even harder to find these days.
I kinda want to see the Taur'i return to this world, this time with the full might of Homeworld Command and a fleet of Daedalus-class warships. "Our law is immutable." "General Landry to USAF General George Hammond, fire Asgard Beam Cannons..." *casually splits the planet's moon in half* "Our laws just got a whole lot more mutable."
Cool on screen, but very unjust, gunboat diplomacy at its finest. For wrong imprisonment of 5 people ? Destroy their civilization through mass flooding or drought due to altering the tides of their planet ?
@@Zamolxes77 that's war. Essentially what he just claimed is their actions are tantamount to a Declaration of War. War is what happens when all other acceptable alternatives are made impossible.
Shocking how the Tauri defeated the Goauld, Replicators, Ori, Genius, Wraith and so many others and basically ruled the Milky Way, Pegasus, Ori and other galaxies.... all with like inside of 500 humans and 15 years. Not to mention met the Ancients, Nox, Asgard and some Tauri themselves ascended and came back, time traveled and destroyed Solar systems, built inter Galaxy travel ships, could teleport people, connected and traveled to parallel universes and realities.... Insane to even believe.
Its the power of those people movers. if you got the skills and know how to move people you can build anything or topple anything. you can kinda outsource the skills, but its kinda muddy.
By the time SGU rolles around I would estimate at least thousands of people involved. each BC304 took around 200 crew according to the wiki, add to that around 30 SG teams numbering between 4 and I think 12 individuals, some of those teams accompanied by teams of scientists, add to that the alpha site which is a mini SGC off-world and a few other bases similar in scale to Icarus and the whole Atlantis expedition and we arrive at closer to 4000 people actively off world or in the SGC, add to that everyone in training, involved in R&D on Earth and we have at least 5k people directly involved. We also see some families being introduced to the knowledge in SGU so I think there are so many people in the know that it would be close to becoming impossible to keeping it hidden
@@heathb4319 SG1 went on far too long it got so bad in the end, Atlantis played Russian Roulette with the best main cast members too many times and replaced them with annoying and unlikeable characters it got cancelled.
If I was part of the sgc I would be mighty proud to have Hammond as my commander
He wouldn't last long in the real world though.
@@asyncasync You really don't know that.
Yes, I would be a prdil.

LoL. Would be funny but the US military is too professional to do that officially
Some of the best episodes of _Stargate SG-1_ are those with a high degree of mystery/ambiguity.

General George Hammond, of Texas.
Lawyer man wondering why he's even there.
"...let me do my job."

Exactly, it's the American way.

That wouldn't match the tone or motives demonstrated in the rest of the series...
@@Zamolxes77 If that is what it takes then YES.

They also beat Star Trek :)
SG1 and Atlantis in my opinion, was the best scifi out there for me.
@@heathb4319 SG1 went on far too long it got so bad in the end, Atlantis played Russian Roulette with the best main cast members too many times and replaced them with annoying and unlikeable characters it got cancelled.
Half expected Marlon Brando to walk in and start talking about the evil of General Zod.
Hammond took care of Sg1 rescued them more than once
He is the Man! "Yes it is!" speaks so much and gets me!.. He doesn't care anything as long as he rescue his people!
That is one way to deal with the difficulty of chronic repeat offenders, reaching a critical mass.
I love Hammond! He is a father figure that I wish I could have... ❤️ Rest in peace 🙏🏻
Better call Saul.
SG-9 (?) deserved at least two more episodes later on
I forget. Were they the lawyer unit?
@@theblackwidower yep that's them
can’t stop looking at Hammond’s right shoulder buckle not secured in the holder, like the other buckles.
THE SUSPENCE!
That brow.
Krypton?
Thanks
You're welcome
Where's the rest?!
War
they way outclassed earth at this time.
^ Stupid.
Whose the Bruce Willis looking guy?
That'd be General George Hammond, played by the late Don S. Davis, may god rest his soul.
