I love to laugh! 😂 I was imagining a @SNL Saturday Night Live skit with Leslie Jones playing Weir. After 5 minutes at the table, the System Lords not only would have unconditionally surrendered, they probably all would have committed suicide... 😂 😂 😂 😂 #LaughterTheBestMedicine 😁
no Doctor Weir is not. Remember she is a very capable skilled negotiator. She is feeling out the System Lords probing for weakness or finding out what the System Lords really know. In other words Doctor Weir is bluffing
Dr. Weir: the pacifist diplomat who led the most powerful military contingent on Earth, waged war in 2 galaxies, and helped Earth become an intergalactic superpower.
And yet somehow was turned into a Replicant ghost because that's how stories organically end in the Stargate universe? The showrunners really didn't know what they were doing with this series.
@@Theomite Wasn't the problem Amanda Tappings Contract in the first place? This led to the decision to let her go so the Character Sam Carter could lead atlantis for one season to fulfill the contract. I think it was because she was pregnant and couldn't fulfill her contract fully before. But I'm working from memory here so please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Of course it was kinda sloppy writing with Dr. Weirs end. But sometimes it seems that writers have to make weird decisions because real life situations made them complicated.
The only reason Earth figured it out was because they reversed engineered Goa'uld technology. Which I think the Goa'uld would have found ironic since they reversed engineered it from Ancients. But unlike the Tau'ri who has the Asgard and Ancient Repositories to help them, the Goa'uld figured it out on their own. A testament to their ingenuity.
@@ParagonRex Yes but the Goa'uld technology has stagnated for thousands of years. Whereas Earth's technological level leapfrogged them in only about a decade.
@@Raine-Cat Stagnated yes, but leapfrogged nah. The Tau ri had most of their advances handed to them by either stealing from the Goa'uld, or generous gifts from the Asgard. OR, their plot enhanced ability to have a gene that let them use Ancient tech, as opposed to the Goa'uld who did not have the Gene and had to learn to adapt the Ancient tech the hard way.
The amusing thing is that earlier the entire SGC staff was bewildered when they found out the Asgard Protected planets treaty is just one giant bluff. They were kind of disapointed and pissed, 5 years later they do it themselves. I can just imagine Thor hearing about this and thinking "beeing perceived a galaxy shaping power isn't as easy as it seems, huh. Who would have known?" The statement that the "Tau'ri already have working hyperdrives" is actually a half truth. Technically yes, but both due to design flaws and the use of Naquadria it is far less than stable. It was flawed enough to strand the Prometheus above another planet with no easy way to return and in this episode it´s still there. Of course we know that the Asgard would eventually help work out the kinks in the Hyperdrive design leading to the BC-304 but at this moment Weir is bluffing just as much as the Asgard were in season 3.
@@TomalakGeretkal so you seen the first comment and went and made it a reality. Very Cool. Now make her sound like a Gou'a'ould after sucking Helium. lol.
Actually Lord Yu is suffering from a form of senility. He is so old now the regenerative powers of the sarcophagus no longer work for him. His First Prime and others cover for him so the other System Lords do not attack his domain. So Lord Yu isn't chillin, he just isn't completely there
Oh how times have changed. From requiring Asgard protection to being able to negotiate directly with the System Lords as equals and being able to demand territory in return for doing favours 😅😅😅
Its amazing to see how the attitude of the system Lord's towards tge Tauri changed as the series progressed. In the beginning they viewed the tauri as nothing, later they negotiated with the tauri in desperation!
They probably knew the potential of Mankind, which is exactly why their treaty with the Asgard stipulated not allowing a human world to advance to a point approaching parity with the Goa'uld. For all their stuffiness and narcissism, they were pragmatic about not allowing their "slaves" to match them. The whole act of pretending to be gods is hard to maintain when there are humans who can confront and fight you off.
I actually liked Yu's First Prime. I wish they'd found a way to bring that actor back after the Jaffa were free and working on setting up their own nation on Dekara. I wonder what happened to him.
lol the sass in Amaterasu when she said "How many can you build" as if one was a challenge. In all truth, it is amazing how humanity has grown in this show. In the beginning, we couldn't handle 2 mothership. Now Weir can intimidate the System Lords.
You are mistaking what happened. She is doing intelligence gathering, trying to size up the tau'ri space threat and capabilities. Jackson tactfully shut her down by responding with exactly the same thing, asking the size of her fleets. The answer 'one ship with another on the way' probably would have terminated the meeting right then and there, and resulted in an immediate planetary assault by these system lords. They are currently and incorrectly granting a way higher threat rating than we actually deserve, and that bluff is keeping us safe. The obvious message being loud and clear to both parties, grand strategic information is classified for a reason, and we aren't morons. Don't ask about our exact capabilities.
I wouldn't call him morally grey, in the end of the day he murders and enslaves just like the others. I always thought his demeanor towards earth was a good strategy. As was mentioned in the series, his interests lay in other parts of the galaxy so he wasn't in a rush to take out earth. He just let us be a pain in the other system lord's butts while he wasn't harmed because he didn't give us reason to attack him and we were obviously too busy to care much about him.
@@limiv5272 again, he was an OG system lord. He learned from Ra running into the Asgard that sometimes it’s best not to stick his nose where it’s gonna get punched. With the Asgard backing earth (at least as far as he knew) he wasn’t willing to push the matter cuz he knew better.

Dr Weir faces the Goa'uld: bitchs youre in my park now! Dr Weir facing the Wraith: I have the city of Atlantis at my back.... fight me you space vampires! Dr Weir facing the Pegasus replicators: Shall we Beguin........
O’Neill: “Yo Thor, few names add to the protected planets treaty” Thor: “O’Neill, you must mean this in jest, you mean for us to protect an additional 4793 new worlds?” Weir: “Silence, I will not suffer this insolence”
Later.... Daniel Jackson: Uh... Doctor Weir... didn't you used to be blonde? And a completely different person? Dr Weir: There was a mix up with a solar flare and a different universe. It's complicated. Jackson: But- Weir: COM-PLI-CATE-ED!!!! _stalks off in a huff, leaving a very puzzled Jackson behind_
Complicated turns out that blonde Weir was and is really into the Burning Man Festival (in that she helps organise it) and when the producers found out, the stigma attached to it at the time meant they felt it could negatively impact the show and so they passed on picking her up for Atlantis.
I would Love to see some fanfiction story where the Goa'uld System lords would agree to some of Wier's bluffing offer since their so desperate since the Rise of the Goa'uld system lord Ba'al.
Don't think she was tricked, she knew the stargate led to nowhere but sacrificed herself because the other replicators couldn't be trusted. She says "its ok ill go first" to lure the others in. McKay acknowledges it by saying well we know its her now since she stepped through. That's my take on it anyway.
You were pretty much accurate there but Stargate Atlantis was really a good syfy series it would be nicer if it had more than a decade of seasons in it....
EVerytime I watch this episode, this scene, the one question on my mind is.... "How big is Weir's collar?" Like seriously its massive, over her shoulders. Must be a 1990's style that was lost.
Exactly right. What are we, assholes?! If we're good enough to fight *like* the Goa'uld, we're good enough to be split into the spoils *like* the Goa'uld :D
After just saying, "If we are going to kill Ba'al for you, why should we ask for anything less?".... turning around and asking for less would have definately been a sign of weakness. If we already had viable hyperdrive tech, like she told the system lords, we wouldn't need them to counter with a lesser offer. She played it correctly.
@@derianvandalsen That SHOWS weakness. The player with the best possible hand isn't showing strength, because no one will call, they'll show as much weakness while still staying in the hand as possible to draw as much as possible into the pot.
Because the show gave us that already. The Goa'uld evoled as a aquatic species being both predators and prey at once. In the wild they filled a niche similar to a predatory fish and a eel. Later they learned how to take hosts and this eventually led to them taking the native bipedal reptile species as hosts then finding the stargate through them.
@@SpaceJawaGuess not, however it does beg a question I've written to the creators of SG1 about amonst others of what criteria the semi amphibious Gou'alds would or do have for mammalian simians. If it were reversed, I have no clear idea of exactly which, umm, frog in a pond I would like to inhabit: leg strength, speed, coloration, gender, eyesight, tongue length, etc
@@LordTalax Well, didn't really see all that much of their societal structure, though got to give them the edge in sheer strength; but humans have the lead in language, communication and physical dexterity as our hands can perform more fine tuned tasks,
Which is why it made no sense that in the episode where Hathor captures the members of SG-1 and tricks them into thinking they're on Earth in the future, the Tokra woman working undercover with her is a plain Jane - that should have made her stand out right away.
If the series was currently at 2021 let's say continuing right now, the computers would be quantum speed, we copied Ba'al's subspace networking to keep the galaxy connected to each other, there would be a galactic trade federation, bureaucrats and politics unfortunately, The Supergate is still operational so it can used to do trade and updates to and from the Ori Galaxy with Toman as the overseer still I'd guess , the Daedalus fleet I'm sure has grown to at least 50 ships, the Pegasus Asgard have some O'Neill Class Warships to keep the peace between the humans and Wraith, we still dont know much about the Atilla Galaxy and why haven't we been to the Andromeda Galaxy yet? I'm sure the Jaffa and the Tau'ri are sharing overseeing The Milky Way learning from each other and exploring more of the ancient planet destinations. Perhaps a couple Aurora Class ships were found? But the Andromeda galaxy has a much deeper threat to keep the show going
You count out the Goa'uld far too quickly, do you seriously think that an advance race that ruled the Milky War for 10s of thousands of years would be beaten that easily. That there are not Goa;uld out there plotting, taking the place of Yu and Ba'al and Aphosis? Building new fleets, creating new weapons?
@@ParagonRex Yes. The Goa'uld are totally beaten and destroyed. They lost everything. My bigger issue is that the Pegasus Asgard are total dicks. I doubt they'd keep any peace because they only care about themselves.
@@blackbot7113 I doubt that, the Asgard in Pegasus will no doubt be a force to be reckoned with now that the Wraith are broken, but the Goa'uld beaten? Not even close. Do you really think that a race who could fight the Asgard to a stand still could be so easily beaten? Underestimate them at your own peril. The Humans, the Ori, the Asgard, the Replicators, all underestimated the Goa'uld and paid the price for their hubris.
"the Pegasus Asgard have some O'Neill Class Warships to keep the peace between the humans and Wraith" Huh?? The Asgard (Vanir) in the Pegasus galaxy are hopelessly behind in technology compared to the milky way Asgard, they were too busy just surviving and trying to fix their cloning issue to advance much in the time they were there. Not to mention getting ass whooped by the wraith, their only remaining ships have weapons and shields similar to the Gould Hatak... but pretty sure they are smaller over all and their shields are clearly not very effective, they got rekt by a traveler ship which is.... extremely unimpressive. The Vanir would be doing amazingly well to simply have the Atlanteans/Taur'i/Earth Humans load their Daedalus class ships up with as many as they can take and keep making runs back and forth between the two galaxies until they have all been brought back to the Milky Way where we find a safe, pleasant planet for them to rebuild their civilization on with Earth's help of course in terms of man power and materials/resources and military protection in the form of a semi-permanent Daedalus class cruiser in orbit. In time they could become a valuable ally. We could even retrofit their current ships with intergalactic hyperdrives and eventually bring their ships too them so they have something to trade with, protect themselves with etc around their new home.
With full government backing, building a fleet of spaceships shouldn't have been that much of an issue. The government can waste trillions of dollars when it wants to. lol
Its not as impresskve as it sounds. Much of those triilions would go to pork barrell spending, over priced products (eg. $600 dollar hammers), kick backs, and 2020 Election recounts,.
You know...it would be interesting to see what would happen if the System Lords did agree and Earth ends up owning and managing Ba'al's territories and assets.
The locals of those worlds would probably break down into disparate factions and slowly being eaten away by their neighbors. Earth wouldn't have had the time or manpower to oversee that kind of territory and I think the Asgard treaty only protected Earth. Perhaps they could have held it long enough to gain enough resources to build some more ships to consolidate a handful of worlds especially if they were unpopulated or had a small enough population that would welcome their protection.
Big mistake getting rid of Weir. Oh and Jason Mamoa has never given SGA the credit it deserves for putting him on the map, not even him in Baywatch was able to do that! Oh and bring back Adria actress, she was stunning. End of surmon..lol
I wonder what would look like Earth and both Milky Way and Pegasus galaxies now on 2024 on the Stargate Universe? Most probably and seeing how things goes on ours, maybe Earth face several withdraw but still pushing to become a Superpower. In a Side note, when I was playing Ogame, I wanted to name one my planets Weir but I was farmed and drop that Universe. At least on another one, Asuras was my Military Powerhouse that also works as my Mobile Fortress.
And if the system lord's gave up Baals' territory then Earth captures half of the galaxy by just negotiating. Can you imagine suddenly inheriting millions of habitabie planets across thousands of light years overnight?
I've always wondered if Weir made a goof there, saying the Asgard were giving them hyperdrives. Seems like a violation of the protected planets treaty.
I mean seriously, they lose nothing they already have and exchange an active threat for a lucrative ally. you want to stay in charge or do you want profits you could never dream of?
Look I like Torri's Weir, but after the recent Dial the Gate interview with Jessica Stein the OG Weir, I can't help but wonder how this scene between the System Lords and even Daniel would played out with the original actress. I'm so curious about it honestly. Similarly to OG Daniel, Jack, Catharine, and Sharui, the first actor only gets one chance to show their performance in one story. I like what we got in both SG1 and SGA but I still wonder about what could have been.
Weir's plan here : Lets roast some pseudo gods of acient times over small flame, if it goes worse we can alway's call Dylan Hunt to get his XO and later Weapon Officer in line anyway or the Japanese Prime minister to put Lord Yuu into place.
asgards had a treaty with goauld.i remember they could not give planets covered in the treaty, earth included any technology. so how can they give us hyperdrives
They should have come up with a reason on how everyone seems to speak English. Like in Farscape, they had something called translator microbes. I don’t care how ridiculous the reason is but just give one.
wait what...is this an episode of Atlantis? I only remember the blonde Wier being on SG1. I thought Higginson was introduced as Wier in the Atlantis Pilot. i get the feeling i am wrong lol
Blonde Weir showed up in “Lost City” only. This is the SG1 season 8 premiere “New Order” which takes place just before the Atlantis pilot in the Stargate timeline.
If they did another stargate, they need to continue the story line and set it in the 2030s after full disclosure and show a advancing Earth taking on new enemies and galaxies. Maybe an alliance with the Furlings story arc and the Nox involved in a consultant level.
Weir blunders when she offers to kill Baal in exchange for his territory. Gauld could easily take Baal's former territory from humans after he is dead.

Women like to change it up now and then.
They should have talked about this scenario when Marty was discussing his movie in the episode 200.
Complicated turns out that blonde Weir was and is really into the Burning Man Festival (in that she helps organise it) and when the producers found out, the stigma attached to it at the time meant they felt it could negatively impact the show and so they passed on picking her up for Atlantis.
Thanks to Jack, every time I here a snake say "you can't be serious ". A voice in my head says " I can. I choice not too."
Jackson is a lucky SOB- sitting next to not just one but two extremely hot women! 😁
Weir was a great character, she got even better in SGA
For anyone wondering. This is from Season 8, Episode 1 titled "New Order Part 1" this is actually one of my favorite episodes from SG1 :)
Thank you.
She is German. Conquer and keep.
Uhhh... nope. She's American in the show, and the last name Weir is of Scottish/English/debatably Norman origin. Not German.
@@christianh4723 i think that was a joke because of the german nature in both ww but i would still agree its more american see: afghanistan
Never play poker with dr weir.
I would Love to see some fanfiction story where the Goa'uld System lords would agree to some of Wier's bluffing offer since their so desperate since the Rise of the Goa'uld system lord Ba'al.
Any one know the female system lord name the actor is hot
A quick web search brought up the name "Kira Clavell"...
stargate.fandom.com/wiki/Kira_Clavell
It's true she is gorgeous.👍
She also appeared in the TV series Rogue for a few episodes in all her glory.
Amaterasu= yes. snake in the head or not.
Remind me never to get into a poker game with Dr. Weir
Love the "how obvious can you be?" look he gives Weir when his eyes bug out at implimenting the hyperdrives...
Too bad Dr. Weir became a replicator and was tricked stepping in the Stargate where the exit was the vastness of space
Don't think she was tricked, she knew the stargate led to nowhere but sacrificed herself because the other replicators couldn't be trusted. She says "its ok ill go first" to lure the others in. McKay acknowledges it by saying well we know its her now since she stepped through. That's my take on it anyway.
You were pretty much accurate there but Stargate Atlantis was really a good syfy series it would be nicer if it had more than a decade of seasons in it....
@@orehldmanguz7013 you mean, "Half a decade."
@@rossmurphy8635 They were flash frozen. Can be thawed out and booted up.
@@rossmurphy8635 your right McKAY also said that address was a space gate guess that answers our question about if it was the real weir
What's the amaterasu's actors name???
Dsmn she hot.
Dsmn. Victim of the computer key brush sensitivity syndrome.
@@kurtsnyder4752 🤣🤣 indeed
Kira Clavell
Not gonna...say it... No... Not gonna say... She had em by the Ba'als!
Is Elizabeth Weir related to Dr. Weir from Event Horizon?
This feels like a typical diplomatic meeting in Master of Orion...
weir was a great female character
Dr Weir being this close of turning Earth and Ba'al territories into the United Federation of Planets
If I may quote Kinsey talking to Jack in one episode "You learnt to play hardball real fast" that goes for Dr Weir as well. Nice one Dr.
"Sir, are you coming with?"
"I'd prefer to sit thank you."
"Why?"
"I am currently camping due to the hot woman next to me"
"Campi... oh."
EVerytime I watch this episode, this scene, the one question on my mind is.... "How big is Weir's collar?" Like seriously its massive, over her shoulders. Must be a 1990's style that was lost.
Los Goauld eran fascinantes rivales, la dra Weir quería ser un Gould light...😂😅
Exactly right. What are we, assholes?! If we're good enough to fight *like* the Goa'uld, we're good enough to be split into the spoils *like* the Goa'uld :D
Oh that was effective BATNA delivery.
I am so glad they got her instead of the first actress. She just didn't feel right. She didn't have the same gravitas as Torri Higginson.
Dr. Weir should have asked for a counter offer....
Nah they were both posturing and both sides knew it ... asking for a counter offer would have looked weak. Like they didn't know what was going on.
After just saying, "If we are going to kill Ba'al for you, why should we ask for anything less?".... turning around and asking for less would have definately been a sign of weakness. If we already had viable hyperdrive tech, like she told the system lords, we wouldn't need them to counter with a lesser offer. She played it correctly.
You do not ask for a counter; that implies weakness
@@derianvandalsen That SHOWS weakness. The player with the best possible hand isn't showing strength, because no one will call, they'll show as much weakness while still staying in the hand as possible to draw as much as possible into the pot.
*how is it we've never gotten an **_"origin series"_** about the goauld??*
An anthology would be cool, but SGO won’t do it justice.
Because the show gave us that already. The Goa'uld evoled as a aquatic species being both predators and prey at once. In the wild they filled a niche similar to a predatory fish and a eel. Later they learned how to take hosts and this eventually led to them taking the native bipedal reptile species as hosts then finding the stargate through them.
Amaterasu was kinda hot...
Aaahhhh amazingly amorously attractive Amaterasu. ALL the Gou'ald hosts were stunners.
If you could pick your own body, would you settle for anything less?
@@SpaceJawaGuess not, however it does beg a question I've written to the creators of SG1 about amonst others of what criteria the semi amphibious Gou'alds would or do have for mammalian simians. If it were reversed, I have no clear idea of exactly which, umm, frog in a pond I would like to inhabit: leg strength, speed, coloration, gender, eyesight, tongue length, etc
@@kurtsnyder4752 Well their first hosts were Unas so pretty much any human is a step up from that.
@@LordTalax Well, didn't really see all that much of their societal structure, though got to give them the edge in sheer strength; but humans have the lead in language, communication and physical dexterity as our hands can perform more fine tuned tasks,
Which is why it made no sense that in the episode where Hathor captures the members of SG-1 and tricks them into thinking they're on Earth in the future, the Tokra woman working undercover with her is a plain Jane - that should have made her stand out right away.
Art of the deal
Is that Steve Bacic? Why did they have to do that to his voice.........
to signify it was his alien parasite speaking, not his host. Though the point did end up going moot later in the series, mostly, and regrettably.
@@patrickschulz2193 Ty for that info. I have not watched the series but I will have to start soon!
The Weirding Way
If the series was currently at 2021 let's say continuing right now, the computers would be quantum speed, we copied Ba'al's subspace networking to keep the galaxy connected to each other, there would be a galactic trade federation, bureaucrats and politics unfortunately, The Supergate is still operational so it can used to do trade and updates to and from the Ori Galaxy with Toman as the overseer still I'd guess , the Daedalus fleet I'm sure has grown to at least 50 ships, the Pegasus Asgard have some O'Neill Class Warships to keep the peace between the humans and Wraith, we still dont know much about the Atilla Galaxy and why haven't we been to the Andromeda Galaxy yet? I'm sure the Jaffa and the Tau'ri are sharing overseeing The Milky Way learning from each other and exploring more of the ancient planet destinations. Perhaps a couple Aurora Class ships were found? But the Andromeda galaxy has a much deeper threat to keep the show going
You count out the Goa'uld far too quickly, do you seriously think that an advance race that ruled the Milky War for 10s of thousands of years would be beaten that easily. That there are not Goa;uld out there plotting, taking the place of Yu and Ba'al and Aphosis? Building new fleets, creating new weapons?
there is a new session in the making to take place after sg Atlantis
@@ParagonRex Yes. The Goa'uld are totally beaten and destroyed. They lost everything.
My bigger issue is that the Pegasus Asgard are total dicks. I doubt they'd keep any peace because they only care about themselves.
@@blackbot7113 I doubt that, the Asgard in Pegasus will no doubt be a force to be reckoned with now that the Wraith are broken, but the Goa'uld beaten? Not even close. Do you really think that a race who could fight the Asgard to a stand still could be so easily beaten? Underestimate them at your own peril. The Humans, the Ori, the Asgard, the Replicators, all underestimated the Goa'uld and paid the price for their hubris.
"the Pegasus Asgard have some O'Neill Class Warships to keep the peace between the humans and Wraith"
Huh?? The Asgard (Vanir) in the Pegasus galaxy are hopelessly behind in technology compared to the milky way Asgard, they were too busy just surviving and trying to fix their cloning issue to advance much in the time they were there. Not to mention getting ass whooped by the wraith, their only remaining ships have weapons and shields similar to the Gould Hatak... but pretty sure they are smaller over all and their shields are clearly not very effective, they got rekt by a traveler ship which is.... extremely unimpressive. The Vanir would be doing amazingly well to simply have the Atlanteans/Taur'i/Earth Humans load their Daedalus class ships up with as many as they can take and keep making runs back and forth between the two galaxies until they have all been brought back to the Milky Way where we find a safe, pleasant planet for them to rebuild their civilization on with Earth's help of course in terms of man power and materials/resources and military protection in the form of a semi-permanent Daedalus class cruiser in orbit. In time they could become a valuable ally. We could even retrofit their current ships with intergalactic hyperdrives and eventually bring their ships too them so they have something to trade with, protect themselves with etc around their new home.
With full government backing, building a fleet of spaceships shouldn't have been that much of an issue. The government can waste trillions of dollars when it wants to. lol
Its not as impresskve as it sounds. Much of those triilions would go to pork barrell spending, over priced products (eg. $600 dollar hammers), kick backs, and 2020 Election recounts,.
@@TangomanX2008 Heh... But even so, when it's serious, governments can perform. During peace time, incentives are dodgy.
@@Leto2ndAtreides Getting them to be serious is the problem though as you well know Leto.
You know...it would be interesting to see what would happen if the System Lords did agree and Earth ends up owning and managing Ba'al's territories and assets.
The locals of those worlds would probably break down into disparate factions and slowly being eaten away by their neighbors. Earth wouldn't have had the time or manpower to oversee that kind of territory and I think the Asgard treaty only protected Earth. Perhaps they could have held it long enough to gain enough resources to build some more ships to consolidate a handful of worlds especially if they were unpopulated or had a small enough population that would welcome their protection.
She's the best with Atlantis
Big mistake getting rid of Weir. Oh and Jason Mamoa has never given SGA the credit it deserves for putting him on the map, not even him in Baywatch was able to do that! Oh and bring back Adria actress, she was stunning. End of surmon..lol
Adria's actress was on Firefly before Stargate.
"How many ships can you build?" Well, just give me time to farm for resources and I can present you with a lot. Me in any RTS.
I wonder what would look like Earth and both Milky Way and Pegasus galaxies now on 2024 on the Stargate Universe? Most probably and seeing how things goes on ours, maybe Earth face several withdraw but still pushing to become a Superpower.
In a Side note, when I was playing Ogame, I wanted to name one my planets Weir but I was farmed and drop that Universe.
At least on another one, Asuras was my Military Powerhouse that also works as my Mobile Fortress.
I would've loved to see Weir's face and her bosses reaction if the System Lords had honestly accepted the deal.
I could imagine elizabeth telling them that they could always make an alliance with baal instead or even surrender to humiliate them further.
Yes...and with Ba'als territory, the Tauri shall claim his Jaffa, and become a system lord. Nah, just kidding :)
And if the system lord's gave up Baals' territory then Earth captures half of the galaxy by just negotiating.
Can you imagine suddenly inheriting millions of habitabie planets across thousands of light years overnight?
I've always wondered if Weir made a goof there, saying the Asgard were giving them hyperdrives. Seems like a violation of the protected planets treaty.
I think she comported herself very well....
I mean seriously, they lose nothing they already have and exchange an active threat for a lucrative ally. you want to stay in charge or do you want profits you could never dream of?
Look I like Torri's Weir, but after the recent Dial the Gate interview with Jessica Stein the OG Weir, I can't help but wonder how this scene between the System Lords and even Daniel would played out with the original actress. I'm so curious about it honestly.
Similarly to OG Daniel, Jack, Catharine, and Sharui, the first actor only gets one chance to show their performance in one story. I like what we got in both SG1 and SGA but I still wonder about what could have been.
Stargate is like if in star trek ww3 never happened and starfleet already destroyed the romulans klingons and the borg in advance
we want his territories
me :this is not an intergalactic khegar!
Dr. Weir out there playing Universal Sim City and winning 😂
Didn't occur to the Goa'uld that they're dealing with the Fifth race.
It's gets on my nerves how Shepard disrespected her in season one of Atlantis.
Weir's plan here : Lets roast some pseudo gods of acient times over small flame, if it goes worse we can alway's call Dylan Hunt to get his XO and later Weapon Officer in line anyway or the Japanese Prime minister to put Lord Yuu into place.
Ha someone of culture recognized Gaheris Rhade and his genetic reincarnation Telemachus Rhade.
I would have taken planets and given them to Lord Yu
I would have made a secret deal with Yu where we double team the remaining system lords and we split it down the middle.😁👍
This would have been the perfect time to make a deal with Yu to take out the remaining system lords together and then divide spoils themselves.😁👍
''Take it or leave it" weir being a badass, i love it
Os tutores sadoquistas eu sugiro condená-los ao masoquismo
asgards had a treaty with goauld.i remember they could not give planets covered in the treaty, earth included any technology. so how can they give us hyperdrives
The treaty is gone when Anubis attacked earth.
Good thing she can go to her inner Machivelli.
So sad we could not see more of amaterasu
They should have come up with a reason on how everyone seems to speak English. Like in Farscape, they had something called translator microbes. I don’t care how ridiculous the reason is but just give one.
Lord Weir
wait what...is this an episode of Atlantis? I only remember the blonde Wier being on SG1. I thought Higginson was introduced as Wier in the Atlantis Pilot.
i get the feeling i am wrong lol
Blonde Weir showed up in “Lost City” only.
This is the SG1 season 8 premiere “New Order” which takes place just before the Atlantis pilot in the Stargate timeline.
Yeah.. Blonde actress didn't want to continue the weir character for a long time so her agent got this brunnette actress
I love Elizabeth
If they did another stargate, they need to continue the story line and set it in the 2030s after full disclosure and show a advancing Earth taking on new enemies and galaxies. Maybe an alliance with the Furlings story arc and the Nox involved in a consultant level.
Weir blunders when she offers to kill Baal in exchange for his territory. Gauld could easily take Baal's former territory from humans after he is dead.
Which episode of which season?
She should play poker…lol
Who was the woman. System war Lord ?
Amaterasu
It really is kinda ridiculous how fast the gourds tumble.
