For the uninitiated, Bra'tac's smile is pregnant with meaning. He was there when all that stopped Apophis' attack six years earlier was SG-1's skill and willingness to sacrifice themselves. Bra'tac learned the hard way that Earth did not have warships, and only prodigious use of C-4 and other sabotage destroyed the two ha'tak that came to raze the planet. Now, he sees the fruit of the SGC's plan and efforts to defend Earth against thirty ha'tak and alkesh, with F-303 Prometheus able to go toe-to-toe with a command ha'tak, while SG-1 activates the weapons of the Ancient outpost....
He'd certainly be a worthy and honourable commander of the tauri fleet. In the series in one mission dis obeyed his commanders orders to get sg1 back think entire base personnel volunteered and stood in the gate room despite knowing they be court martialed if the plan backfired
He would have to join the Asgard supreme commander bootcamp. Tough training, finger up, finger down untill it almost falls off. But its all worth it in the end
The balls on Hammond during this sequence putting his ship between the enemy and SG-1 to buy them time was just ridiculous... never even hesitated. Don S. Davis was just incredible in the role and I am so sorry he is gone.
It seemed to be a repeating trend throughout the series that whenever SG-1 was in too deep, General Hammond was usually there to pull their asses out of the fire. "Yeehaw!"
First Prime: "The human attack vessel approaches!" Anubis: "Destroy it!" First Prime: "It seems we cannot, it's captain's balls are too enormous! Our shields are of no use!" Anubis: "Noooooooo!!!!!!"
The scene is ridiculous. Anubis order to destroy Prometheus, he have a huge numbers of ships but only one shot. That change anything at the end, he will be destroy by drone but take Prometheus with him.
It's an emotional payoff for 7 seasons of gate travel, making allies and acquiring technology to finally have a warship and fighters capable of defending the planet, and then to see them perform so admirably, such good storytelling...
@@ThatBrendonGuy Still would have been pretty cool to see some f16's or conventional fighters in the mix, but none the less, was worth the pay off. I would actually consider the f-302 one of the best fighters in the series, but they do have the draw back of limited ammunition.
True, it still take SG-1 recovering alien technology to finish the job, but seeing Earth finally holding their own against the Goa'uld in a direct battle instead of having to rely solely on -medical- surgical attack by SG teams is truly awesome moment.

I’ll never get over how the writers/cgi folks make the ancient weapons so perfectly different from anything we had seen before. It could have easily just been a giant sky laser, but they had the idea to make shining, firefly-squid drones! It was beautifully alien, in the best way possible.
Giant sky laser doesnt work well if you want it to be believable, firing from the surface takes tremendous power for the beam to not be distorted by the atmosphere and it would take time to charge between shots which would hurt it against multiple targets. Also energy weapons in the show get blocked by the shields whereas the drones are little ships that dont get blocked by the shields, they are basically invulnerable mini missiles that do kinetic damage. So the benefit of the drones is that they can engage multiple targets or vulnerable points on a large target at once, they only require escape velocity to break into orbit but can be used in atmo as well, and they totally bypass shields due to not being bolts of energy.

Over time though they moved from wanting to uplift people to just be worshiped for the sake of being worshiped.

Yep and Everyone on StarGate command and there Team will Do Everything to make sure SG1 Return home. It Show How Much of a Family They was when everyone Rush into Danger without Hesitation to save SG1.
the initial clash of the fleets was the most awesome scene in the entire show. we were all cheering on the edge of seats as the camera zooms through crossways in all the chaos. amazing.
It was the culmination of like 6 fucking years and the humans of earth finally stood against the goauld in a head on fight and didn't get knocked down. This was the beginning of the end of the Goauld. And it was earned. Few if any series have ever developed a story to come to such a massive cathartic moment.
For me, it depends on scope. The most badass scene by an individual was the Prior in Beachhead sending everybody flying towards the horizon. The other one was the ending to season 9 in Camelot when the Ori ships invade and completely decimate our ships.
Multiple seasons lead to this point. Season 1 ended with earth utterly DEFENCELESS against anything from space. This OG end of Stargate ended with earth being ABLE to fight back with tremendos force themself. I would even go as far as say that kamikaze run of the prometheus would have at the very least rendered anubis ship to heavily damaged to do anything realy. Later on with the real end of Stargate , atlantis did the same when earth exhausted all stuff they had against one single hive. So now earth is not only able to defend itself but also would be able, given they now have the power and ressorces and all, to build at the very least acient aurora class warships if they so wanted, wich they dont. The BC304 already is supperior and we know they build a fleet of them.
@@christianresel8051 thank you for calling this the OG end of Stargate. It very much was IMO. I enjoyed season 8, too with Jack as General and Base Commander (the episode Zero Hour stands out), but I prefer to just pretend seasons 9&10 never happened, as well as pretty much anything beyond the first season of Atlantis. Neither the Wraith nor the Ori captured the same tone of nemesis as the Goa'uld or the Replicators. Anubis was the pinnacle of evil bad guy and watching him be obliterated, dying (we thought) screaming while the combined forces of Earth, the Tok'ra, and the Jaffa went into full scale battle was one of the greatest moments ever on television. We were cheering and shit, it was so awesome. Hammond just ready to literally drive Prometheus into Anubis's face (or lack thereof) is a testament to what a great man he was. I had the opportunity to meet Master Bra'tac in real life once and he was awesome. I always loved how much Bra'tac respected and admired Gen. Hammond. God I miss how much fun TV used to be.

@@greywoodsmanj see im the complete opppsite when it comes to atlantis i think all the seasons were amazing and was shattered when it was canceled. didnt care for the ori much though and reallyh didnt like sg universe although i tried very hard to like it
Yeah. I remember when they announced that ben Browder's character was part of the Stargate universe in a pivotal way and they revealed he was the leader of the F-302 Squadron during the Battle over Anatarctica. I was like okay that's cool.
I wonder if Shepherd was flying too 🤔 although in actual canon, I remember him being excited to fly an F-302 for the first time while in the Pegasus galaxy. Head canon though, he was instrumental in the fight.
Yep it was all or Nothing. SG1 was Rushing to save Earth and in Danger of Failing. SG1 was Heros but They only One Team. They Had Hammond and His Group To Support them and buy them Time For the Killing Blow.
it is tailored to cater to US patriotism. Generally series that do that tend to be successful, series that make the (usually American) protagonists look bad or weak tend to fail. See Enterprise(Archer)/Discovery and in contrast TOS Enterprise(Kirk) and Orville. do not take this as an insult, it is a mere observation. obviously producers would want to crate products that are successful, so they get written accordingly.
@@kensaiix its not the patriotism its the build up. 7 seasons of SG1 crawling by. Saving the planet by the skin of their teeth fighting a space fairing galactic empire with just conventional weapons. The desperate attempt to create our own weapons to fight and seeing them fail and struggle Then this scene... earth with its weapons 2 entire squadrons of 302s and Prometheus going head to head with Goa'uld. All the hard work of the characters paid off in this moment. After 7 seasons we were finally able to go toe to toe with the enemy
@@kensaiix I'm not American, and I am against patriotism. While what you said might be true for some, the context of this victorious battle within a series that has lasted for so many seasons at that point is the reason why it deserves a "fuck yeah", not internalized Propaganda. I do believe that there is a collective sense for all of humanity that makes this moment so exciting.
@@laurencebarnes5361 Patriotism is fine. It's loving your country, warts and all. It's Nationalism that's the problem. Russia being a prime example of this.
1:26 of every episode of stargate sg1, this moment, right here is forever engraved into my memory. the intial head on pass between earths X302s and the go'uld death gliders/bombers. it always brings a small tear to my eye. its so awesome. that and the first battle of atlantis, when they darken the city and it starts lighting up from the AA fire going out at the wraith, from stargate atlantis are forever engraved when i think of stargate.
Before those there was Star Wars Episode 6 the Return of the Jedi with the massive head on convergence of rebel fighters and imperial fighters. And as much as I love Star Wars I give props to Stargate for not just paying homage but taking it up a notch too.
I know exactly what you mean. Until then the SG teams had been sneaking around blowing up ships with bombs, stolen cargo ships and a lot of help from their allies. That was all great, but this moment was when the Tau'ri stood up and fought head to head against an imposing Goa'uld force all on their own, it always makes me think of how far they had come in such a short amount of time.
Well, sad to say it but 'The Siege' has been soured for me...manned railguns? Seriously? Even a small radar and a computer instead of a human operator (damned, we aren't in WW2! We have radar-guidance now and an Aegis-Combat-System that WWII ship captains would have given an arm and leg for!) would have made much more sense....not to mention that they only (badly!) fixed the defense satellite when the Wraith were already at the gates! Damned, they knew of it way way way earlier and might have truly been able to destroy all three first wave Hives!
Seeing Earth finally go toe to toe with the Goa'uld with capital ships and fighters was awesome to see. Shows you how far we came in only seven years and also how close we came to becoming a galactic superpower.
So much greatness in this clip. Of course the appearance of the Earth fleet, weird new alien weapon, Hammond being a badass leader. But also Henry Hayes standing his ground with balls of steel, and Master Bra'tac smiling to make it complete :D
@@breakerm5187 I mean... depends on writers. I think Star Wars Andor's writers did a great job. But sadly, big companies like to make remakes and bet too much on 'old memories' rather than making something new.
Ronnie Cox. He played Capt. Jellico in TNG. A character you initially loved to hate. But when you rewatch the episodes he is in, the more you realize he was right. And yes he is a Great actor.
@@samfazers8818 The actor playing sgt. Siler was also the stunts coordinator of the series. As to Walter, his most bright performance was in the alternate reality, where he took the AR in futile attempt to repel the Teal'c-lead invasion into the Cheyenne complex, trying to give "our" Jackson some more time
@@samfazers8818 yes, it full of hints, easter eggs and secrets. Some are clearly visible, some are very subtle. For example, note the slogans in school (ep. where Vala & Mitchell arrived for classmates meeting) - these stickers says something like "Mallozzi for treasurer!" (or something very close) Or (already well-known) Latin tutorial book by Ph.D. Mallozzi ("window of opportunity")
Supreme Commander Hammond of the Earth fleet! May his memory never die ( Don S. Davis rip good sir)! Edit When Master Bra'tac said "they're not Goa'ld l, was like yeah boys cavalry's here!!! First time I saw this battle, it made me fall in love with Stargate all over again?
This is my favorite ship to ship battle in the franchise. 7 years, hundreds of planets explored, alliances made all culminates in this moment. As a fan you know how hard and perhaps what episode it was when they develop the ordinance for the 302s. Prometheus shields. We were there
I wish they had thrown in a line for Jack, something like "okay so you remember when I told you the shuttle was a formidable vessel? I... Might have been stretching the truth there. But hey! We've been busy since then, wouldn't you say this ones pretty formidable?"
I mean he did give the invading leader a big middle finger with what he said Also now I'm reminded of the other General of SG who told an Ori Prophet "if we're going to hell, we're taking you with us"
Anubis wouldn't spare anyone, it was as a matter of fact another reality were defeated anubis, but they made public the info about the stargate. And everything went south
One of the things stargate did better than any other series was a smooth yet amazing increase in power of the humans. At this battle they are in desperation and needed Lantean weapon to save them, at the end of the series, Deadalus would have wiped the whole fleet before tea time.
Damm, it's suck that US military didn't use F15 eagle, F16 , F18 hornet or F22 Raptor too with F302 space fighters in earth defense. It was so epic against guld !! I saw a epic fight in Stargate continunm with F15/Migs 29 against death gliders why not in this episode ?
3:00-3:01 in slow motion you can see missiles being fired from the port and starboard wings? idk what they would be called. i could be wrong but the missile launchers were located in the center mass launching "vertically" or aft horizontally. also if you follow the missile it appears to go through anubis shields
hammond of texas a great warrior also imagine facing those drones in battle.... normal fire you can wiggle and zig zag and hope they miss some shots, but those drones just turn around and come back. there´s no way to avoid them, besides disableing the chair or tanking them
When I first saw this video, it gave me goosebumps, I have all of Stargate on DVD this is one of my favorite scenes along with the Stargate Atlantis scenes as USS Daedalus and USS Apollo with combined fleet took the Replicated Humans.
Why didn't Anubis have defenses against the Ancients drone weapons? With his Ascended knowledge he definitely should have known about the drones and the Ancient out post so why not find a "loophole" to compensate for them?
It's possible he knew what they were but didn't know the Tauri possessed them. So when he designed his ship and fleet he didn't make the necessary adjustments to make them drone proof because he didn't think anybody had them anymore.
@@silvantheiss8070 Idk about that. They were conceived of by the Alterrans over a million years ago before there wars with the wraith and before many acended. The knowledge of how to make them or use them was probably included in Anubis learned while ascending but knowing and being able to do are two different things. As far I know no one has ever found a way to manufacture more drones and maybe it's not possible too without certain Lantean advancements. Anubis just seems to have taken the easiest route which was retrofit the existing fleet of Ha'Tak he had which their were probably limits to what could be done without building a new ship type. That's where his mother ship came in bit doesn't seem all that advanced compared Lantean tech. Also the others said they would allow him live in ascended limbo as long he didn't do anything that he could not have done without ascending so their was that as well.
he had only a tiny, rly tiny part of that knowledge and those drone, like atlantis shield, are some of the most advanced tech, not something you can just defend against if you wish so (in most part he actually used ancient stuff, old one btw, but he doesnt build it) we are talking about weaponry used in the last days of the ancient where he was using old stuff left by them probably before they left our galxy for the first time due to teh plague)
I think this is the quintessential SG1 scene for me out of the entire series The years' of buildup to get here: Earth not only having the tech & material to build a fleet capable of defending Earth but also the sheer size of the Stargate program to make it happen; a culmination of multiple alien allies and tech; and of course a solid build up of Anubis' power as the big bad who actually returned to Earth to threaten the planet for the first time since Season 1. Finally we have the writing which is just pure SG1 - techno babble, drama, and humor all mixed with a soundtrack and visuals that are so rooted in this series Sure the series continued on and the final fight to take out the Replicators is a close second, but those later fights were so large that this is the high point for me because it still retained that very basic premise of "SG1 saves the world" that carried the series for the first 10 years
... Wraith never developed shields because there was never any point to them. Their sole enemy was the Ancients, against whom shields were useless. Huh.
Странная серия, если транспортник с командой SG-1 был так опасен, Анубис мог сосредоточить все силы космической флотилии и десанта на его ликвидации. Равно как и подземной базы лантийцев. Логика этой серии всегда оставалась под вопросом. Равно как и тот факт, что первый корабль землян не мог продержаться и минуты под огнём флотилии Анубиса. Ведь кинетические щиты в атмосфере работают слабее, чем в космосе.
One guy saying "Shields are failing" while still being on the surface and yet the ship could fly straight into the line of fire after that and not sustain any major damage. In sci-fi shows with shields always going down yet not really my biggest concearn is the circuit boards blowing up non stop.
This episode and "Heroes" (S07E18) are my favorites. Such an amazing story arch. I wish we could see how Tauri are faring "today". They have the Asgard core, they have Atlantis, they have X-303's and -302's. We need big story-telling minds to imagine this world.

the initial clash of the fleets was the most awesome scene in the entire show. we were all cheering on the edge of seats as the camera zooms through crossways in all the chaos. amazing.
It was the culmination of like 6 fucking years and the humans of earth finally stood against the goauld in a head on fight and didn't get knocked down. This was the beginning of the end of the Goauld. And it was earned. Few if any series have ever developed a story to come to such a massive cathartic moment.
For me, it depends on scope. The most badass scene by an individual was the Prior in Beachhead sending everybody flying towards the horizon. The other one was the ending to season 9 in Camelot when the Ori ships invade and completely decimate our ships.
Multiple seasons lead to this point. Season 1 ended with earth utterly DEFENCELESS against anything from space. This OG end of Stargate ended with earth being ABLE to fight back with tremendos force themself. I would even go as far as say that kamikaze run of the prometheus would have at the very least rendered anubis ship to heavily damaged to do anything realy.
Later on with the real end of Stargate , atlantis did the same when earth exhausted all stuff they had against one single hive. So now earth is not only able to defend itself but also would be able, given they now have the power and ressorces and all, to build at the very least acient aurora class warships if they so wanted, wich they dont. The BC304 already is supperior and we know they build a fleet of them.
@@christianresel8051 thank you for calling this the OG end of Stargate. It very much was IMO. I enjoyed season 8, too with Jack as General and Base Commander (the episode Zero Hour stands out), but I prefer to just pretend seasons 9&10 never happened, as well as pretty much anything beyond the first season of Atlantis. Neither the Wraith nor the Ori captured the same tone of nemesis as the Goa'uld or the Replicators. Anubis was the pinnacle of evil bad guy and watching him be obliterated, dying (we thought) screaming while the combined forces of Earth, the Tok'ra, and the Jaffa went into full scale battle was one of the greatest moments ever on television. We were cheering and shit, it was so awesome. Hammond just ready to literally drive Prometheus into Anubis's face (or lack thereof) is a testament to what a great man he was. I had the opportunity to meet Master Bra'tac in real life once and he was awesome. I always loved how much Bra'tac respected and admired Gen. Hammond.
God I miss how much fun TV used to be.
@@greywoodsmanj see im the complete opppsite when it comes to atlantis i think all the seasons were amazing and was shattered when it was canceled. didnt care for the ori much though and reallyh didnt like sg universe although i tried very hard to like it
This is technically the first episode with Cam in it!
He’s flying around out there somewhere, and um… getting shot down
Yeah. I remember when they announced that ben Browder's character was part of the Stargate universe in a pivotal way and they revealed he was the leader of the F-302 Squadron during the Battle over Anatarctica. I was like okay that's cool.
I wonder if Shepherd was flying too 🤔 although in actual canon, I remember him being excited to fly an F-302 for the first time while in the Pegasus galaxy. Head canon though, he was instrumental in the fight.
All these years later, this scene still gives me chills.
Yep it was all or Nothing. SG1 was Rushing to save Earth and in Danger of Failing. SG1 was Heros but They only One Team. They Had Hammond and His Group To Support them and buy them Time For the Killing Blow.
1:58 may be the only time that an al'kesh still controlled by the G'oauld actually manages to hit its target
Shit, you right😂
I remember watching this come out with my parents. We were all like 'FUCK YEAH!' when the battle started.
it is tailored to cater to US patriotism. Generally series that do that tend to be successful, series that make the (usually American) protagonists look bad or weak tend to fail. See Enterprise(Archer)/Discovery and in contrast TOS Enterprise(Kirk) and Orville.
do not take this as an insult, it is a mere observation. obviously producers would want to crate products that are successful, so they get written accordingly.
@@kensaiix its not the patriotism its the build up. 7 seasons of SG1 crawling by. Saving the planet by the skin of their teeth fighting a space fairing galactic empire with just conventional weapons. The desperate attempt to create our own weapons to fight and seeing them fail and struggle
Then this scene... earth with its weapons 2 entire squadrons of 302s and Prometheus going head to head with Goa'uld. All the hard work of the characters paid off in this moment. After 7 seasons we were finally able to go toe to toe with the enemy
@@kensaiix I'm not American, and I am against patriotism.
While what you said might be true for some, the context of this victorious battle within a series that has lasted for so many seasons at that point is the reason why it deserves a "fuck yeah", not internalized Propaganda.
I do believe that there is a collective sense for all of humanity that makes this moment so exciting.
@@laurencebarnes5361 Patriotism is fine. It's loving your country, warts and all.
It's Nationalism that's the problem. Russia being a prime example of this.
4:26 O’Neill: “And this is for Abydos!”
From a timeline stand point that was only a year earlier which is crazy.
While 4:28!
1:26 of every episode of stargate sg1, this moment, right here is forever engraved into my memory. the intial head on pass between earths X302s and the go'uld death gliders/bombers. it always brings a small tear to my eye. its so awesome. that and the first battle of atlantis, when they darken the city and it starts lighting up from the AA fire going out at the wraith, from stargate atlantis are forever engraved when i think of stargate.
Before those there was Star Wars Episode 6 the Return of the Jedi with the massive head on convergence of rebel fighters and imperial fighters. And as much as I love Star Wars I give props to Stargate for not just paying homage but taking it up a notch too.
I know exactly what you mean. Until then the SG teams had been sneaking around blowing up ships with bombs, stolen cargo ships and a lot of help from their allies. That was all great, but this moment was when the Tau'ri stood up and fought head to head against an imposing Goa'uld force all on their own, it always makes me think of how far they had come in such a short amount of time.
@@Milamberinx yeah indeed. And still it show how Tau'ri is still under powered. Prometheus was doomed basically.
Well, sad to say it but 'The Siege' has been soured for me...manned railguns? Seriously? Even a small radar and a computer instead of a human operator (damned, we aren't in WW2! We have radar-guidance now and an Aegis-Combat-System that WWII ship captains would have given an arm and leg for!) would have made much more sense....not to mention that they only (badly!) fixed the defense satellite when the Wraith were already at the gates! Damned, they knew of it way way way earlier and might have truly been able to destroy all three first wave Hives!
Seeing Earth finally go toe to toe with the Goa'uld with capital ships and fighters was awesome to see. Shows you how far we came in only seven years and also how close we came to becoming a galactic superpower.
So much greatness in this clip. Of course the appearance of the Earth fleet, weird new alien weapon, Hammond being a badass leader. But also Henry Hayes standing his ground with balls of steel, and Master Bra'tac smiling to make it complete :D
we need to break off and recharge the shields
Hold your position💪
Everybody gangster, until Prometheus shows up
Ori in S9:I'm about end this ship whole career...
One of the greatest tv shows of all time! Boy was I crushed when I found out all the Stargate series were getting canceled 😭
Don’t worry, they’ll make a new show eventually and it will be terrible. Be thankful they haven’t rebooted it for now.
@@TheHolyMongolEmpire Yes, i am thankful everyday they have not remade it as this current crop of writers we have would destroy it.
@@breakerm5187 I mean... depends on writers. I think Star Wars Andor's writers did a great job. But sadly, big companies like to make remakes and bet too much on 'old memories' rather than making something new.
Stargate is the greatest TV show ever
It's like a recurring thing with the gould system lords die screaming look how apophis went out
The smile on Bre'tac's face when he heard Hammond's voice, he truly did respect him as a leader.
Nice call to when he asks has Hammond of Texas fallen in battle?
The guy who played Senator Kensy was a great actor, he made me hate his guts every time I seen him in the show
That's the mark of a great actor when they can make you truly hate or love the character they play.
Ronnie Cox. He played Capt. Jellico in TNG. A character you initially loved to hate. But when you rewatch the episodes he is in, the more you realize he was right.
And yes he is a Great actor.
This is the best script in the whole franchise.
I remember the premiere day. Was on the edge of my seat the whole time for the 2 part event!. Wish they would bring back this franchise.
Captain Benjamin Sisko of DS9 and General Hammond of SGC are the two foremost people you really wanna have during a war🖖🖖🖖
Always loved Hammond's little nod of satisfaction when Anubis' fleet was destroyed.
are shields are of no use
time to poop your pants dude
Love that Walter is there. Dude is loyal as fuck.
I loved Walter's character just s good smart desk jockey but like you said honorable loves his job and gets all the fun with flying the alkesh ect
That and poor old master Sargent silar
@@samfazers8818 The actor playing sgt. Siler was also the stunts coordinator of the series.
As to Walter, his most bright performance was in the alternate reality, where he took the AR in futile attempt to repel the Teal'c-lead invasion into the Cheyenne complex, trying to give "our" Jackson some more time
@@Sergei_Agarkoff wow you still learn something about sg1 even after years lol cheers for the info bud
@@samfazers8818 yes, it full of hints, easter eggs and secrets. Some are clearly visible, some are very subtle.
For example, note the slogans in school (ep. where Vala & Mitchell arrived for classmates meeting) - these stickers says something like "Mallozzi for treasurer!" (or something very close)
Or (already well-known) Latin tutorial book by Ph.D. Mallozzi ("window of opportunity")
Supreme Commander Hammond of the Earth fleet! May his memory never die ( Don S. Davis rip good sir)! Edit When Master Bra'tac said "they're not Goa'ld l, was like yeah boys cavalry's here!!! First time I saw this battle, it made me fall in love with Stargate all over again?
This is my favorite ship to ship battle in the franchise. 7 years, hundreds of planets explored, alliances made all culminates in this moment.
As a fan you know how hard and perhaps what episode it was when they develop the ordinance for the 302s.
Prometheus shields. We were there
It's the most cathartic moment of the series. Its the day the Goauld stopped being the dominant species in the Milky Way.
That was the most epic stargate moment ever. I almost cried of joy it was so cool
This was planned as a potential series finale before being renewed for season 8. If the show ended here they would’ve went out with an awesome bang.
I wish they had thrown in a line for Jack, something like "okay so you remember when I told you the shuttle was a formidable vessel? I... Might have been stretching the truth there. But hey! We've been busy since then, wouldn't you say this ones pretty formidable?"
@@TheValentineEnemy yes... so we would need to translate and learn a new language
A lot of people are correctly praising Hammond... but can we also for a second admit that the President has a SERIOUS pair on himself as well?
I mean he did give the invading leader a big middle finger with what he said
Also now I'm reminded of the other General of SG who told an Ori Prophet "if we're going to hell, we're taking you with us"
One of the best Science Fiction Series of all time
Now they need to explain shooting up the Resolute Desk.
They should have done an episode in where SG1 found itself trapped in an alternate universe where Earth has fallen to Anubis.
Anubis wouldn't spare anyone, it was as a matter of fact another reality were defeated anubis, but they made public the info about the stargate. And everything went south
A stargate episode with an alternate universe? Never happened before 😉🤔
Still remember watching it for the first time in 2004. Like it was yesterday... Good times.
that moment when you realize shield tech is not perfect tech it is not always able to protect you from danger as this episode shows
I love how you can hear snippets of what would be SGA's future soundtrack throughout this episode.
I love how drones can pass gould shields like the ancients knew they be a freat
One of the things stargate did better than any other series was a smooth yet amazing increase in power of the humans. At this battle they are in desperation and needed Lantean weapon to save them, at the end of the series, Deadalus would have wiped the whole fleet before tea time.
Anubis kind of looks like his Divine Shadow from lexx. Really not sure which one showed up 1st.
@1:23 Teal'c has seen a lot of battles and a lot of crap go down. But, it is this moment he is paused in awe over the epicness going on before him.
I can’t be the only one who got chills and a full chub when Hammond and the boys arrived.
Damm, it's suck that US military didn't use F15 eagle, F16 , F18 hornet or F22 Raptor too with F302 space fighters in earth defense. It was so epic against guld !! I saw a epic fight in Stargate continunm with F15/Migs 29 against death gliders why not in this episode ?
Imagine if they had the fleet of bc304 deadalus class ship last time u checked there was 4 of them all with beam weapons and advanced asgard shields
The late Prometheus refitted with Asgard systems would have one-shotted the invasion force like brushing off mosquitoes. .
3:00-3:01 in slow motion you can see missiles being fired from the port and starboard wings? idk what they would be called. i could be wrong but the missile launchers were located in the center mass launching "vertically" or aft horizontally.
also if you follow the missile it appears to go through anubis shields
Stargate is the bomb! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember watching this tv show when i was little, man i loved it. Time flies fast.
hammond of texas a great warrior
also imagine facing those drones in battle.... normal fire you can wiggle and zig zag and hope they miss some shots, but those drones just turn around and come back. there´s no way to avoid them, besides disableing the chair or tanking them
Don's Davis Rest in peace general Hammond 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 ! Great actor
The kull warriors flailing around was pretty funny
ikr it looks like a power rangers vilain
Have you noticed that there are no bullet holes in the wall when they are shooting at Anubis
No damage to the desk or windows?
Pretty sure the glass is bullet proof, the desk is protected by the spirit of Eisenhower.
Plot armour
One thing that must be said, The Prometheus is one ugly ass ship...
"They are coming from the surface, My God, beautiful..."
1:18 «turien’s fleet reporting, asari’s fleet reporting. Ready too engage on your signal »❤
Everyone is scared until golden experience requiem is there
Is this a Jojo reference?
Loved the newly elected presidents reaction to all this.
When I first saw this video, it gave me goosebumps, I have all of Stargate on DVD this is one of my favorite scenes along with the Stargate Atlantis scenes as USS Daedalus and USS Apollo with combined fleet took the Replicated Humans.
Jack Oneil: DANIEL!! 😑
Daniel Jackson: Jaack!? 🤔
Why didn't Anubis have defenses against the Ancients drone weapons? With his Ascended knowledge he definitely should have known about the drones and the Ancient out post so why not find a "loophole" to compensate for them?
It's possible he knew what they were but didn't know the Tauri possessed them. So when he designed his ship and fleet he didn't make the necessary adjustments to make them drone proof because he didn't think anybody had them anymore.
@@Not-Ap The drones are the most advanced weapons in Stargate. Anubis was able to modify his vessels to match older Asgard cruisers but no more
@@silvantheiss8070 Idk about that. They were conceived of by the Alterrans over a million years ago before there wars with the wraith and before many acended. The knowledge of how to make them or use them was probably included in Anubis learned while ascending but knowing and being able to do are two different things. As far I know no one has ever found a way to manufacture more drones and maybe it's not possible too without certain Lantean advancements. Anubis just seems to have taken the easiest route which was retrofit the existing fleet of Ha'Tak he had which their were probably limits to what could be done without building a new ship type. That's where his mother ship came in bit doesn't seem all that advanced compared Lantean tech. Also the others said they would allow him live in ascended limbo as long he didn't do anything that he could not have done without ascending so their was that as well.
he had only a tiny, rly tiny part of that knowledge
and those drone, like atlantis shield, are some of the most advanced tech, not something you can just defend against if you wish so (in most part he actually used ancient stuff, old one btw, but he doesnt build it)
we are talking about weaponry used in the last days of the ancient where he was using old stuff left by them probably before they left our galxy for the first time due to teh plague)
the president is terrific.
Can you imagine the first encounter with an alien by saying : "I've got to be kidding" 😂
I think this is the quintessential SG1 scene for me out of the entire series
The years' of buildup to get here: Earth not only having the tech & material to build a fleet capable of defending Earth but also the sheer size of the Stargate program to make it happen; a culmination of multiple alien allies and tech; and of course a solid build up of Anubis' power as the big bad who actually returned to Earth to threaten the planet for the first time since Season 1.
Finally we have the writing which is just pure SG1 - techno babble, drama, and humor all mixed with a soundtrack and visuals that are so rooted in this series
Sure the series continued on and the final fight to take out the Replicators is a close second, but those later fights were so large that this is the high point for me because it still retained that very basic premise of "SG1 saves the world" that carried the series for the first 10 years
That president have balls not like in real world today
3:28 Alteran drones goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
... Wraith never developed shields because there was never any point to them. Their sole enemy was the Ancients, against whom shields were useless. Huh.
Um dos melhores episódios. Já assisti umas dez vezes.
Странная серия, если транспортник с командой SG-1 был так опасен, Анубис мог сосредоточить все силы космической флотилии и десанта на его ликвидации. Равно как и подземной базы лантийцев.
Логика этой серии всегда оставалась под вопросом. Равно как и тот факт, что первый корабль землян не мог продержаться и минуты под огнём флотилии Анубиса. Ведь кинетические щиты в атмосфере работают слабее, чем в космосе.
1:00 (president turns around) Now, can somebody remove these bulletholes out of my desk?
Gotta be in the Top 10 episodes
I FUCKING LOVE THIS SHOW!!!!!!
The greatest battle the world will never know
meanwhile in Indiana, a barber named Joe is botching a meeting with his wife in a park...
"What the hell was that!?"
"That was SG-1."
God, I miss going off-world with these guys...
I loved this. This is the first time you see Earth defending itself.
Well, if I were American President Henry Hayes certainly has my vote.
La mejor serie que he visto. Duro más de 10 años
I think they could have saved a few drones XD
well... i dont think O'neill cares
Maybe they could rescue the drones from space when they turn off... Or maybe the goa'ulds ships are though
But in fact they buffed a lot the drones later. In future episodes 2 drones were enough to destroy a mother ship
@@elduquecaradura1468 remember those ships have shields powered by AnubiTech (for all your galaxy conquering needs).
@@Milamberinx right, those goa'uld ships were buffed with ascendant-ancient technology... So that proves the power of lantians
we all remember how this felt... man i miss those days
4:36 some call that orbital space debris, I call it free loot
America is always prepared for such an eventuality
One guy saying "Shields are failing" while still being on the surface and yet the ship could fly straight into the line of fire after that and not sustain any major damage.
In sci-fi shows with shields always going down yet not really my biggest concearn is the circuit boards blowing up non stop.
Loved it when MacGyver came to visit and kick ass !!!!
I love the Prometheus's 'throom-throom-throom' engine noise.
Best one by General Hammond! That was SG one!
Anubis: "Bow before your god." SG-1: "Puny god."
This episode and "Heroes" (S07E18) are my favorites.
Such an amazing story arch. I wish we could see how Tauri are faring "today". They have the Asgard core, they have Atlantis, they have X-303's and -302's.
We need big story-telling minds to imagine this world.
basically the most anticipated part of Stargate during my childhood :D
Que cena incrível
E ficaria ainda melhor se mostrasse caças de várias nações lutando contra o inimigo
