"They're here!!!!!" is a Poltergeist reference and not Independence Day. If you haven't seen Poltergeist, you're missing an important 80's horror/thriller. It's a masterpiece.
The movie that spawned one of the most enjoyable sci-fi shows of my childhood. Always love me some Stargate. As good as Kurt Russel is, Richard Dean Anderson took the character to such a lovable, charming level it's impossible to not adore him. Edit: You should check out SG-1, it's infinitely more fun than the movie, they get up to so much good stuff it's a blast. As for fav character in the movie, has to be little Scaara, the kid O'Neill (Two L's!) gave his lighter to.
O'Neil only has 1 L in the movie, the quite in season 2 "It's 'O'Neill', with two L's. There's another Col. O'Neil with only one L, and he has no sense of humor at all." is referring to the movie.
I liked Richard Anderson too, but it feels like he's really phoning it in, in the latter seasons. Like he didn't want to be there but it was a paycheck. Maybe I'm wrong, just the vibe I got.
I always liked this movie, but it became more meaningful last year, when Dad got sick. Stargate was on TV, and it turned out to be the last movie we watched together.
The interesting aspect of this movie is that it has two heroes following the Hero’s Journey, they have all the steps, starting in their home environment, rejecting the call first, then going on the adventure, the Hero always returns, to complete the cycle, but here one hero returns and the other stays behind.
Good movie that launched one of the best Sci Fi franchises. Stargate Sg-1 is a great series, that is pretty unique for being set in modern times. Though apart from the cast and crew who are all amazing and the chemistry between the cast is phenomenal, what really sets it apart is the attention to real world science and mathematics, which is very impressive for a show dealing with entirely theoretical physics. Also, the humor cannot be over emphasized, it's perfect! With just the right blend of nods to other series and shows, wit, the self aware and self deprecating humor, the sarcasm and sass all mixed just right.
And, unlike other series, the characters don't forget their experiences from week to week. So if they encounter a similar situation or scientific problem in a new episode, they reference what they did in an earlier episode and explain why it won't work like that this time. Probably the best sci-fi show outside of Star Trek of the 1990's.
@@po5283 Yeah, but SG-1 was one of the first series with a constant memory of it's protagonists experience. Even in TNG, the in-series-references where sporadic, usually if it was a continuation of a former episode.

"What is it with Egyptians and cats? Why cats?" In Egyptian mythology cats are the guardians of underworld who keep the dead from coming back to life - its why we don't have to worry about zombie outbreaks anymore. More practically for a people who preserved their dead, and believed the spirit could return to its corpse to check in on loved ones, cats kill rodents who would eat the preserved bodies.
were there even domesticated dogs back then I know there were wild dogs also were Egyptians the first to domesticate cats I know cats were also a thing in Ancient Rome as they had a massive thing for Egypt
@@wolf99000 Yes, ancient Egypt had domesticated dogs. Their civilization actually has the first recorded instance of them. But domesticated dogs go back probably tens of thousands of years.
Actually, outside of the Mummy movies' I have never found a legitimist site that collaborates that statement. National Geographic stated only "Egyptians believed cats were magical creatures, capable of bringing good luck to the people who housed them. To honor these treasured pets, wealthy families dressed them in jewels and fed them treats fit for royalty. When the cats died, they were mummified. There is also evidences that cat farms existed jut to breed and kill cat so members of high society could be buried with them.
Not long after my cousins and I watched Stargate my grandmother took us to an Egyptian exhibit at a museum. As we were leaving a lady that worked there told us to have a nice day and my 5 year old cousin replied “give my regards to King Tut, asshole.” My grandmother was horrified.

Since The Mrs. enjoys Kurt Russell, I recommend "Soldier." It's a sleeper you'd both probably like. 👍 By the way, His son Wyatt Russell (currently Marvel's U.S. Agent) makes a brief appearance as well.
One of the BEST sci fi series ever. I would suggest you watch Stargate SG-1 in your own time and binge it out. You'll LOVE the characters. I think I've watched the entire series about 5 times over the years since it's ended. I just love revisiting the characters and the stories, so good.
Yep, every year or so I do a watch through through all of SG-1 and Atlantis, and some of Universe (I did not care for the final season of Universe, sorry!) and I am still blown away how good those shows are to this day. I'm a life long Trekkie, but man between SG-1/Atlantis and Babylon 5 were sure were spoiled for sci-fi adventures in the 90s into the 00's and on.
Stargate is my favorite franchise. I had to many fond memories watching all the shows(several times over). With Amazon buying MGM, I hope they revive the franchise and make a new show.
214 SG-1 episodes 100 SG Atlantis Episodes 40 SGU episodes 2 SG-1 movies Then there is some other SG media not really in the TV universe like 26 episodes of the cartoon SG Infinity and the web series Stargate Origins.
Part of my childhood. Fond memories. This led to Stargate sg1 which led to Stargate Atlantis. Two of my favourite Sci fi shows. But it all all began with this movie
Im glad I subbed the other day to this channel. Because you just started one of my top 3 Sci Fi Adventures of all time. The series is great too, Stargate SG-1. Stargate Atlanitis blends in around season 8, and Stargate Universe came after the other series end. 10 seasons of SG-1, 5 of Atlantis, and 3 of SG-U
I would absolutely love to see you both react to Stargate SG-1. It is a great series! Just to let you know, there are 10 seasons of SG-1, 5 seasons of Atlantis, and 2 seasons of Universe. Also, the first couple of seasons of SG-1 (about 5 seasons I think) were produced for Showtime, so they have a decent effects budget, while still reusing assets form the film. You'll notice a change in production quality when they move the series over to Syfy due to the reduced budget, but it doesn't hurt the overall quality of the show.
Stargate is my favorite "star" franchise, and like with all other reactions, I like when people like what I also like, so we can all like it together. Doesn't even matter if you'd watch the series for the channel or just in private. If you choose to though, I feel like I need to point out that the show was still trying to find its "voice" for the first half of the first season.
Stargate! Of course! THAT'S where I've seen Erick Avari, the leader of Ra's slaves. He played Nicodemus, a high-ranking pharisee on the first season of The Chosen, and I've been racking my brain trying to figure out where I'd seen him before. Tremendous character actor, really brings a lot of depth to the Nicodemus role.
the way she very carefully avoided his eyes when she said "shorter" lmao! and YES!!! react to the tv shows!!!! and a couple more movies about the shows.
Star Wars Meet The Ten Commandments or Dune Meets Lawrence Of Arabia! Or Flash Gordon meets Ben Hur! One of my favorite childhood movies I saw growing up!
James Spader is one of the last, true, GREAT American actors. He has played it all, brilliantly. Best part was as Alan Shore, lawyer on Boston Legal with The Shatner, imo.
Cool Fun Factoid: The guy playing the Chief and the young guy were also in the Stargate SG-1 series. The old man is Eric Avari and the young guy Alexis Cruz. The series picks up where the movie leaves off. Then you have Richard Dean Anderson playing Col. O'Neill. They built a whole universe around this movie.
Can't believe you're doing this. I thought all my favorite reactors had done Stargate!!! Holy crap ... I gotta go make a snack and some coffee and I'll be back. I'm psyched! Thanks for doing this one!!!
Besides recasting the actors for the TV series they also added a lot of lore about the aliens that was not in the movie, including establishing that the bodyguards for Ra were not human, but were another alien race.
O'Neill's son's death was referenced several times in the series. Especially in the early seasons. I remember two episodes from S1 and S4 of the top of my head.
@@Raivo_K Yeah, the one with the crystals take the topic head-on, while everybody's favorite wacky adventure suddenly goes into that territory in the last few minutes.
The Jaffa are descended from Earth humans, though... I'm not sure to what extent they can be called _"another alien race"..._ And the plotline about the son was hardly dropped... Charlie _was_ the focus or a significant plot point or reference in several episodes (Cold Lazarus, The Devil You Know, Window of Opportunity, Unnatural Selection...), as well as Stargate: Continuum, and Jack O'Neill (two ls) was shown in other episodes to be clearly still heavily influenced by his son's death, though by that point the trauma wasn't as recent as Jack O'Neil (one l)'s in this film, and he'd mostly gotten over his suicidal tendencies...
The Stargate TV shows have a huge following, and it's a million miles from over - now Amazon bought MGM there are ongoing talks about firing it all back up..
thank your for reacting to this!! In my dreams you are reacting to all of the Stargate series... 👌😊 The fact that the series extends over a decade makes it even more interesting, because you can REALLY see the advance in quality, cgi and budget.
Great reaction guys! Loved when Mrs Movies starts ranting about Event Horizon and says "That creepy one " just as Mini Movies is lurking by the curtain 🤣🤣👍
I love this movie and the whole Stargate universe! I hope you guys do watch the series - I've never seen a reaction channel commit to that (it's a combined SEVENTEEN SEASONS between SG1, Atlantis and Universe). If you just do SG1 at 5-6 episodes covered per video, it'd only take you 40 videos! 🤣
Check out Failwhale34. He hasn't posted a while on YT, but on Patreon he's on Season 9 of SG-1 and Season 2 of Atlantis, he does one episode of each once a week. There's a lot for you to binge watch!
I remember a tv teaser for this movie where a studio pitch man was talking about this movie and called it 50% Star Wars and 50% Indiana Jones and the studio head make it 70/30 and you've got a deal and then they showed bits of the movie.
If you like Kurt Russel here a some early movies I first watched him in at drive-in: The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes (1969); The Barefoot Executive (1971); Now You See Him, Now You Don't (1972); The Strongest Man in the World (1975). The quote. "They're Here" is from Poltergeist (1982) said by the little girl Carol Anne. Yes, Stargate SG-1. They are working on a new series hoping Amazon would buy MGM since they should only need a drop in the bucket to produce a season compared to some of the new series like Foundation.
I’ve always been so impressed with how the Mrs has such little movie watching experience and yet is so good at deciphering plot points and beats. That said, she was pretty damn frustrating during the early part of this movie 😂
Great reaction as always! Definitely watch SG-1 it's one of the rare occasions where the show is better than the movie. They get a chance to expand on the characters and the universe. Some older episodes are a little cheesy but it is great, one of my all time favourite shows!
37:04 "Should we watch _Stargate SG-1?"_ Absolutely. It was an awesome show. The quality slumped a bit after O'Neill was promoted to a General and placed in charge of the SGC, and dropped off _completely_ after O'Neill and Hammond were no longer part of the show, but up until then, it just couldn't seem to stop cranking out classic, defining moments.
You will love SG1 picks up a year after the film, the actors are recast but they play their parts really well and the show really expands on the universe. There are subtle retcons though but well explained. Ra's previous host belonged a race called the Asgard who are enemies of the Goa'uld (Ra's parasitic race). You saw his Asgardian Host in this film. Ra is a serpent symbiote that attaches onto the brainstem and fully controls the host's body. The reason Ra took a human host is because the Asgard race were a dying ancient race which were clones.. copies of copies of copies.
The movie kind of acts like a pilot for the TV version which expands the whole concept. It ran for 10 seasons, spawning two spin off shows (and a short web-based 'prequel'). The TV show is enormous fun & very entertaining. Like old Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea in the 60's, the two movie leads of O'Neil & Jackson were recast and other new characters brought in for the TV adaptation.
SG-1 was an incredible series the first 8 years. Richard Dean Anderson as Colonel O'Neill was a perfect casting choice. It kinda went a bit hokey the last two. I think it had to do with the villains of the show at that point. There were also several tv movies based on SG-1. Atlantis was a good series. It picked up momentum from season 2 on. For me it was based on introducing a certain character. Universe was ok but lacked momentum to really get started considering it was the THIRD series. The production should have taken off from episode 1 since they already had TWO successful series under their belts. SG-1 and Atlantis are must see series.
My favorite is Daniel Jackson (though he became less interesting when he become more "soldier", I prefer the "nerd Daniel Jackson"). I think Teal'c is interesting, however, the creators didn't developed him properly, that's why I put him in second place.
Lol, James Spader's "weird manerisms" are part of why I was obsessed with him for decades.😅🤷♀️ OMG, No, "They're here" is a Poltergeist line! How dare you sir!😆
SG-1 was great. It had the old Star Trek feel in the beginning where every episode was a new planet and a new adventure. Later the over arching stories were fun too. SG: Atlantis was a bit of a disappointment. In the first episode they describe Atlantis as a city the size of Manhattan so I imagined episodes where they would explore the city and uncover mysteries. But unfortunately they just copied the formula from SG-1 and only very rarely did we see a room other than the 3 the show typically took place in. SG: Universe was train wreck. Good idea but it was so poorly executed it was as if every episode was written by a different person who didn't know any of the characters and didn't know anything about the show. And whomever thought up the idea of the "sex" stones should be psychoanalyzed. Basically, a person on the ship and a person on Earth would touch a set of stones and swap consciences. Then the person now on Earth would take that body and go have sex with it often gay sex with a straight person or vise versa. And nobody every once questioned how creepy that was. There would just be these scenes where some strange person would knock on some woman's door and say, "I'm your ex-husband Tom. I'm on a spaceship thousands of light-years away. I only have 24 hours to use this man's body to have sex with you so let's get busy." And there was never any consequences or pay off for this. It was just creepy for now reason.
Atlantis is my favourite, definitely not a disappointment. The reason they didn't explore the city very often was power and time (and because they couldn't get too powerful too soon for the story). Most of the show was written by the same half a dozen people. The stones were mainly used in SGU.
@@10thdoctor15 SG:A was a good show. I just found it disappointing that they had this HUGE set piece and we never saw more than a couple of rooms. But the "sex" stones in SG:U were just wrong. None of that belonged in the show. SG:U was trying to be ST: Voyager except they were able to send someone home each week to inhabit a stranger's body and have sex with it. It was just creepy and wrong.
Thank you for reacting to this underrated cult classic. The TV series "Stargate: SG1" takes it to another level.
I didn't like the series that much tbh, many episodes are like early star trek episodes, way out there, if you know what i mean. Alltho i do love that sinister smirk of Teal'c :D
SG1 is far superior to this film and this film is fkn great
The series like most took 2 or 3 seasons to hit peak but they stayed peak after that
@@hernerweisenberg7052 I find that it’s more plausible the SG1 episodes really tried to make it realistic
@BattleAngelFan the tv show is many times better than the film... it's on of my all time favorites. I think it's better than Trek.

@@alucard624 I always thought so. I heard the same about "Screamers" with Peter Weller.
One of the BEST sci fi series ever. I would suggest you watch Stargate SG-1 in your own time and binge it out. You'll LOVE the characters. I think I've watched the entire series about 5 times over the years since it's ended. I just love revisiting the characters and the stories, so good.

Yep, every year or so I do a watch through through all of SG-1 and Atlantis, and some of Universe (I did not care for the final season of Universe, sorry!) and I am still blown away how good those shows are to this day. I'm a life long Trekkie, but man between SG-1/Atlantis and Babylon 5 were sure were spoiled for sci-fi adventures in the 90s into the 00's and on.
Stargate is my favorite franchise. I had to many fond memories watching all the shows(several times over). With Amazon buying MGM, I hope they revive the franchise and make a new show.
as they ruin literally every show they do remakes nowadays (in my opinion), i really hope the will never be a remake of this show...
Welcome to the Stargate Universe....Between all the shows there's gotta be 300 episodes.
Shh don’t tell the wife that
214 SG-1 episodes
100 SG Atlantis Episodes
40 SGU episodes
2 SG-1 movies
Then there is some other SG media not really in the TV universe like 26 episodes of the cartoon SG Infinity and the web series Stargate Origins.
Part of my childhood.
Fond memories.
This led to Stargate sg1 which led to Stargate Atlantis.
Two of my favourite Sci fi shows.
But it all all began with this movie
I would LOVE reactions to the Stargate series! I love them!
"They're Here" is from POLTERGEIST. Carolanne is watching tv and turns around and says "They're HEEEEEERE"
The two-minute interplay at the beginning was HILARIOUS. Mom's investigative queries, followed by Dad's disguised nonanswers? Boatload of fun!!!
Im glad I subbed the other day to this channel. Because you just started one of my top 3 Sci Fi Adventures of all time. The series is great too, Stargate SG-1. Stargate Atlanitis blends in around season 8, and Stargate Universe came after the other series end. 10 seasons of SG-1, 5 of Atlantis, and 3 of SG-U
Welcome aboard!
I would absolutely love to see you both react to Stargate SG-1. It is a great series! Just to let you know, there are 10 seasons of SG-1, 5 seasons of Atlantis, and 2 seasons of Universe. Also, the first couple of seasons of SG-1 (about 5 seasons I think) were produced for Showtime, so they have a decent effects budget, while still reusing assets form the film. You'll notice a change in production quality when they move the series over to Syfy due to the reduced budget, but it doesn't hurt the overall quality of the show.
Stargate SG-1, aka "The Mary-sue Carter show"
@@Hiraghm Everyone got a chance to shine during the show's run. Just relax.
re showtime: and the boobies in the first episode
@@bankbarcomo806 The producers said they didn't want but Showtime mandated that at least the premiere must include full frontal female nudity.
Don't forget it also had some straight to dvd movies.
James Spader is criminally underrated. He is one of the all time best actors.
Back in the 80’s I always confused him with Andrew McCarthy.
I think he should do more voice work because his performance as Ultron, to me, carried that Avengers movie!
Ah the 90s, and my introduction to James Spader, I hope they do a sequel or new series with Spader in the near future.
Stargate is my favorite "star" franchise, and like with all other reactions, I like when people like what I also like, so we can all like it together. Doesn't even matter if you'd watch the series for the channel or just in private.
If you choose to though, I feel like I need to point out that the show was still trying to find its "voice" for the first half of the first season.
Me too, I prefer Stargate.
My TOP favorite sci-fi series (or spaceship series) doesn't include Star Trek nor Star Wars.
last standing franchise... i loved all of them - before modern hollywood ruined all of them for me ;o/
"They're here" is a Poltergeist reference. :)
I had just bought the trilogy on bluray for a future franchise run... so maybe it was on my brain that day. Haha!
Doesn't Randy Quaid say it in Independence Day, as well though?
I absolutely love this movie.... I'm a huge history buff when it comes to egyptology and when this movie came out it blew me away....
Stargate! Of course! THAT'S where I've seen Erick Avari, the leader of Ra's slaves. He played Nicodemus, a high-ranking pharisee on the first season of The Chosen, and I've been racking my brain trying to figure out where I'd seen him before. Tremendous character actor, really brings a lot of depth to the Nicodemus role.
Alien visitation at 9:12! xD
the way she very carefully avoided his eyes when she said "shorter" lmao! and YES!!! react to the tv shows!!!! and a couple more movies about the shows.
The "camel" is an American bison wearing a costume. This was shot in Arizona, they had to clear all vegetation from a large area of the desert.
Stargate show reactions 🤩, hell yeah. I'll be there for it, there are way to few channels doing that 😞
Star Wars Meet The Ten Commandments or Dune Meets Lawrence Of Arabia! Or Flash Gordon meets Ben Hur!
One of my favorite childhood movies I saw growing up!
3:43 “She just takes it?” Turns out that’s how a lot of British museums got their collections.
James Spader is one of the last, true, GREAT American actors. He has played it all, brilliantly. Best part was as Alan Shore, lawyer on Boston Legal with The Shatner, imo.
Yes!!! 🏆
the two flamingos
I saw it in the cinema and I felt in love with the idea that movie delivered. I also loved SG-1, mostly because Amanda Tapping.
Cool Fun Factoid: The guy playing the Chief and the young guy were also in the Stargate SG-1 series. The old man is Eric Avari and the young guy Alexis Cruz. The series picks up where the movie leaves off. Then you have Richard Dean Anderson playing Col. O'Neill. They built a whole universe around this movie.
No weezin the juice
@@tempsitch5632 😝 Been watching Encino Man lately. With Pauly Shore and Brendan Fraser.
@@alexflores7652 and Eric Avari !!
The girl playing Shu’ri is in a good romcom with Jason Lee and David Schwimmer called Kissing A Fool.
This movie and the show that followed is one of my all time favorites.
Love the film, underrated sci-fi classic from Roland Emmerich
Can't believe you're doing this. I thought all my favorite reactors had done Stargate!!! Holy crap ... I gotta go make a snack and some coffee and I'll be back. I'm psyched! Thanks for doing this one!!!
Kurt Russel is the ballz
He ain't no Richard Dean Anderson, though...
Keep in mind, this lead to a tv series. Which lasted 11 years. Also spinoff a second series. Atlantis.
Besides recasting the actors for the TV series they also added a lot of lore about the aliens that was not in the movie, including establishing that the bodyguards for Ra were not human, but were another alien race.
O'Neill's son's death was referenced several times in the series. Especially in the early seasons. I remember two episodes from S1 and S4 of the top of my head.
@@Raivo_K Yeah, the one with the crystals take the topic head-on, while everybody's favorite wacky adventure suddenly goes into that territory in the last few minutes.
@@Raivo_K I may have missed those episodes I never watched the whole thing. His wife and son definitely were downplayed if they existed.
The Jaffa are descended from Earth humans, though... I'm not sure to what extent they can be called _"another alien race"..._
And the plotline about the son was hardly dropped... Charlie _was_ the focus or a significant plot point or reference in several episodes (Cold Lazarus, The Devil You Know, Window of Opportunity, Unnatural Selection...), as well as Stargate: Continuum, and Jack O'Neill (two ls) was shown in other episodes to be clearly still heavily influenced by his son's death, though by that point the trauma wasn't as recent as Jack O'Neil (one l)'s in this film, and he'd mostly gotten over his suicidal tendencies...
@@Raivo_K Except they changed his name for some reason. Well, they changed "O'Neil" to "O'Neill" too.
20:03 that pyramidal ship you saw earlier in the movie is the same ship that's about to land. It is called a Ha'Taa.
Great movie one of my favorites. I remember watching this movie in the theaters when it first came out. Damn I’m getting old.
The Stargate TV shows have a huge following, and it's a million miles from over - now Amazon bought MGM there are ongoing talks about firing it all back up..
thank your for reacting to this!!
In my dreams you are reacting to all of the Stargate series... 👌😊
The fact that the series extends over a decade makes it even more interesting, because you can REALLY see the advance in quality, cgi and budget.
Great reaction guys! Loved when Mrs Movies starts ranting about Event Horizon and says "That creepy one " just as Mini Movies is lurking by the curtain 🤣🤣👍
Love this movie! Thank you for watching this!
"why cats, why not dog?" They did both - Bastet represented cats, Anubis represented dogs.
I love this movie and the whole Stargate universe! I hope you guys do watch the series - I've never seen a reaction channel commit to that (it's a combined SEVENTEEN SEASONS between SG1, Atlantis and Universe).
If you just do SG1 at 5-6 episodes covered per video, it'd only take you 40 videos! 🤣
Check out Failwhale34. He hasn't posted a while on YT, but on Patreon he's on Season 9 of SG-1 and Season 2 of Atlantis, he does one episode of each once a week. There's a lot for you to binge watch!
Cats used to hang out in ancient Egyptian grain silos to feed on the rats. Eventually cats and humans developed a symbiotic relationship.
I remember a tv teaser for this movie where a studio pitch man was talking about this movie and called it 50% Star Wars and 50% Indiana Jones and the studio head make it 70/30 and you've got a deal and then they showed bits of the movie.
Ironic timing. I just noticed SG1 is back on Netflix last night so I started rewatching that :P
I really didn't care for this movie but it spawned the star Gate franchise which is awesome 😄
Sg-1 is definitely worth a watch at some point. Fun reaction.
They’re heeeeere! is from Poltergeist.
“They’re heeeeere” is a quote from Poltergeist.
I was 17 when this movie came out and star gate is a pretty good movie
So you were born the same year as me 1977
“They’re heeeeeere.”
Is a Poltergeist reference.
“I’m baaack!” Is Independence Day.
Nice! Stargate.
If you like Kurt Russel here a some early movies I first watched him in at drive-in: The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes (1969); The Barefoot Executive (1971); Now You See Him, Now You Don't (1972); The Strongest Man in the World (1975).
The quote. "They're Here" is from Poltergeist (1982) said by the little girl Carol Anne.
Yes, Stargate SG-1. They are working on a new series hoping Amazon would buy MGM since they should only need a drop in the bucket to produce a season compared to some of the new series like Foundation.
I’ve always been so impressed with how the Mrs has such little movie watching experience and yet is so good at deciphering plot points and beats.
That said, she was pretty damn frustrating during the early part of this movie 😂
She has actually seen a lot of movies... just none of the movies we watch around here. 🤣
@@YouMeTheMovies I stand corrected: MAINSTREAM movies lol
What a coincidence that Ra paid a visit the exact same day they discovered the planet. A real bummer.
This is really a great movie and the show is also amazing. Richard dean anderson is fantastic.
I remember this coming out when I was in high school. I really enjoyed it and even bough the soundtrack on CD. I love Kurt Russel's character arch.
Great reaction as always! Definitely watch SG-1 it's one of the rare occasions where the show is better than the movie. They get a chance to expand on the characters and the universe. Some older episodes are a little cheesy but it is great, one of my all time favourite shows!
I love that they kept Khusuf and Skaara in the show from the film, provides some great continuity.
37:04 "Should we watch _Stargate SG-1?"_
Absolutely. It was an awesome show. The quality slumped a bit after O'Neill was promoted to a General and placed in charge of the SGC, and dropped off _completely_ after O'Neill and Hammond were no longer part of the show, but up until then, it just couldn't seem to stop cranking out classic, defining moments.
lmao your girls are so sneaky, like I know I'm not supposed to be here right now but what are you all doing?
You will love SG1 picks up a year after the film, the actors are recast but they play their parts really well and the show really expands on the universe. There are subtle retcons though but well explained.
Ra's previous host belonged a race called the Asgard who are enemies of the Goa'uld (Ra's parasitic race). You saw his Asgardian Host in this film. Ra is a serpent symbiote that attaches onto the brainstem and fully controls the host's body. The reason Ra took a human host is because the Asgard race were a dying ancient race which were clones.. copies of copies of copies.
Go for it! Watch the tv series. Start with SG1. 10 seasons. well done. I am enjoying it at any rate.
The movie kind of acts like a pilot for the TV version which expands the whole concept. It ran for 10 seasons, spawning two spin off shows (and a short web-based 'prequel'). The TV show is enormous fun & very entertaining. Like old Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea in the 60's, the two movie leads of O'Neil & Jackson were recast and other new characters brought in for the TV adaptation.
Awesome reaction as always!
Eagerly awaiting more of the Saw franchise and is 24 on your watchlist?
Stargate SG-1 is one of my favorite tv series of all time.
isn't "They're here!" from Poltergeist?
Just clicked on and already hit the like button! Can't wait for this I love this movie!!!
SG-1 was an incredible series the first 8 years. Richard Dean Anderson as Colonel O'Neill was a perfect casting choice. It kinda went a bit hokey the last two. I think it had to do with the villains of the show at that point. There were also several tv movies based on SG-1. Atlantis was a good series. It picked up momentum from season 2 on. For me it was based on introducing a certain character. Universe was ok but lacked momentum to really get started considering it was the THIRD series. The production should have taken off from episode 1 since they already had TWO successful series under their belts. SG-1 and Atlantis are must see series.
My favorite is Daniel Jackson (though he became less interesting when he become more "soldier", I prefer the "nerd Daniel Jackson"). I think Teal'c is interesting, however, the creators didn't developed him properly, that's why I put him in second place.
I love, love, love StarGate! It's my favorite Devlin/Emmerich film! I love the show, but the original film is still my favorite of the franchise!
Films turned into tv series?.
M*A*S*H. 1970.
Great movie.
"They're here" is from Poltergeist (1982).
Awesome
Lol, James Spader's "weird manerisms" are part of why I was obsessed with him for decades.😅🤷♀️
OMG, No, "They're here" is a Poltergeist line! How dare you sir!😆
Someone suggest The Crying Game since Jaye Davison is in this!
You’re both fired. “They’re heeeeere” is from “Poltergeist”. 🤣
SG-1 was great. It had the old Star Trek feel in the beginning where every episode was a new planet and a new adventure. Later the over arching stories were fun too. SG: Atlantis was a bit of a disappointment. In the first episode they describe Atlantis as a city the size of Manhattan so I imagined episodes where they would explore the city and uncover mysteries. But unfortunately they just copied the formula from SG-1 and only very rarely did we see a room other than the 3 the show typically took place in. SG: Universe was train wreck. Good idea but it was so poorly executed it was as if every episode was written by a different person who didn't know any of the characters and didn't know anything about the show. And whomever thought up the idea of the "sex" stones should be psychoanalyzed. Basically, a person on the ship and a person on Earth would touch a set of stones and swap consciences. Then the person now on Earth would take that body and go have sex with it often gay sex with a straight person or vise versa. And nobody every once questioned how creepy that was. There would just be these scenes where some strange person would knock on some woman's door and say, "I'm your ex-husband Tom. I'm on a spaceship thousands of light-years away. I only have 24 hours to use this man's body to have sex with you so let's get busy." And there was never any consequences or pay off for this. It was just creepy for now reason.
Atlantis is my favourite, definitely not a disappointment. The reason they didn't explore the city very often was power and time (and because they couldn't get too powerful too soon for the story). Most of the show was written by the same half a dozen people.
The stones were mainly used in SGU.
@@10thdoctor15 SG:A was a good show. I just found it disappointing that they had this HUGE set piece and we never saw more than a couple of rooms. But the "sex" stones in SG:U were just wrong. None of that belonged in the show. SG:U was trying to be ST: Voyager except they were able to send someone home each week to inhabit a stranger's body and have sex with it. It was just creepy and wrong.
@@robertanderson6929 Regardless, the story of SGU was really interesting and it should have continued.
Mr. Movies does such a great job of never giving away spoilers. Lucky woman!
