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!"
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.
The excitement I felt when you see humans going toe to toe with Goa'uld advance fleet will always stand as my favourite SG moment. We see the culmination of 7 seasons worth of development leading to them finally being able to defend the planet themselves.
@@troyjollimore4100 It was a human using human(however advanced) weapons that destroyed the goauld fleet. Plus if they had only a another year or so they could have fielded fleets of Prometheus along with who knows what other advancements.

@@namonamo494 For a time. After a certain point their ships gain railgun weaponry that can actually do something against most enemies. By the end the only ships that could really pose any threat were between Replicators and Ori, since Replicators could pretty much utilize tech from whatever they "absorb" and the Ori were on par with the ancients in terms of technological advancement.
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.
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.
Tony Amendola does not get enough credit for portraying Bra'rac. That smile, as the drones erupted from the surface to take out Anubis' ship, was great. A real "My friends did it" kinda smile.
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
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
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.
Prometheus is the perfect name for that ship. The fire that Prometheus gave to humans was symbolic of technology enabling us to one threaten the Gods rule.
My headcanon is, that prometheus was a benefitial Gua Uld, an Ancient or somekind of other Alien being which helped humans or it was a metaphor for some Gua Uld or ancient Who Performe genetic Experimence on earth archaic Humans to make them more advance.
@@jackychang9148 Not all Goa'uld were innately evil. They just became more insane with prolonged use of the sarcophagus technology. Lord Yu, Osiris, Thoth, Nerus, other members of the Greco-Roman Pantheon, were perhaps noble in there purpose at first. Over time though they moved from wanting to uplift people to just be worshiped for the sake of being worshiped.
Which makes Daedalus all the more appropriate: Tau'ri vessel with all of it its advanced technologies baked into the design rather than retrofitted by aliens, the Daedalus represents the human capacity for genius (Daedalus was a mortal man who leaned how to fly, after all).
Can I point one of the most overlooked characters in Stargate and that is Walter Harriman also know as the bald guy with glasses who open and closes the Stargate up to this point all he has done is open and close the Stargate but here we see the man pilot the Prometheus into battle against Anbus Fleet
He wasnt the pilot. Pilot was I think to the left of hammod. The captain is middle, pilot and weapons officer either side. Walters was in a comms seat if I remember correctly.
@@Voriof1 No, but Silers actor was the stunt double for O'Neill, one of the reasons Siler gets hurt so often. You don't need to cut it so nobody notices the actor change, the actor can do it.
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.
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.
I miss this TV Show I remember so many episodes so well I hate to think how many times I watched the shows but this is one TV show I will never get bored of watching. Best ever TV production.
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.
@@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.
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
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.
@@aaronmaxwell7475 Shepherd didn't have clearance and O'Neill knew he wouldn't get it because of his background but wanted him in the program. O'Neill having him pilot him to the ancient outpost was his way of forcing the issue. That was my interpretation anyway.
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")
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?"
The look on Bra'tac's face. That of seeing the fruition of his life's work to free the Jafa. It was one of the most satisfying moments of the entire series for me.
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
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?
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"
The best way to handle that negotiation would've been to just start laughing in his face. I mean hysterical laughter, from everyone in the room. Extremely unsettling to egomaniacs
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.
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.
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.
I always really liked how the president handles that conversation. Regardless of how much bluffing he did, that's the perfect way to handle that situation. It always gave me the impression that no matter how serious the threat of the Goa'uld and huge the galaxy is, Earth is still doing its own thing. Anubis was just an interruption for the president.
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
I was a kid when i first time have seen this episode and i was so fascinating and still after so many years this moment gives me a goose bumps, thank you SG1 and Atlantis for reminding me my childhood ❤️
"Bow before your god." "I don't think so." This show was so unabashedly, unrepentantly American its like it came from a different universe compared to 2023.
Accidentally put the subtitles on and they had me in stitches! "If you possessed weapons magic Bobby... You'd of used them" thank you TH-cam auto gen 🤣🤣
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
I would've loved to see this many drones used against the super hive in the last episode of Atlantis. Maybe they wanted to show earth defending themselves with their own weapons, but i think it was a missed opportunity. It's also possible a human mind can't handle that many drones at the same time.
@@MDP1702 If I remember correctly, they never said how many drones they had in Atlantis. They only mention getting drones and jumpers from the city in the episode "the tower".
"damn it O'Neal, ever hear of overkill?! Those drones don't grow on trees you know, you're going to be scrubbing floors until you've paid for every single one of them!"

@@T0FFII Yeah! Wasn't it originally gonna be a movie??
Can I point one of the most overlooked characters in Stargate and that is Walter Harriman also know as the bald guy with glasses who open and closes the Stargate up to this point all he has done is open and close the Stargate but here we see the man pilot the Prometheus into battle against Anbus Fleet
He can also fly Alkesh
He wasnt the pilot. Pilot was I think to the left of hammod. The captain is middle, pilot and weapons officer either side. Walters was in a comms seat if I remember correctly.
@@Spinikar Wasn't he also the stunt director?
@@Voriof1 No, but Silers actor was the stunt double for O'Neill, one of the reasons Siler gets hurt so often. You don't need to cut it so nobody notices the actor change, the actor can do it.
He's there because he was Hammond's #1 Ride or Die.
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.
General Hammond is a man you’d follow into battle 10/10 times with out hesitation
Hammond of Texas *gestures at head a brave and noble warrior
@@Nr15121 Ya He was a Big Gun Of Texas.
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.
@@Drakesonone in character and reality don Davis was an absolute legend
Not follow-- you _join._ He leads among his troops, not over them.
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!
I miss this TV Show I remember so many episodes so well I hate to think how many times I watched the shows but this is one TV show I will never get bored of watching. Best ever TV production.
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.
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😂
Anubis' First Prime said " My Lord, The Human Attack Vessel Approaches!" Should have said ... Tau'ri ...
I mean, the Tau'ri call themselves humans.
So it's a strange form of respect? I guess...
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.
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
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.
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
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
That was the most epic stargate moment ever. I almost cried of joy it was so cool
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.
@@gryffon7497I don’t think he knew about the star gate or anything like that until the drone came at him and Oniells helicopter. But it’s been a while
@@aaronmaxwell7475 Shepherd didn't have clearance and O'Neill knew he wouldn't get it because of his background but wanted him in the program. O'Neill having him pilot him to the ancient outpost was his way of forcing the issue. That was my interpretation anyway.
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.
Everybody gangster, until Prometheus shows up
Ori in S9:I'm about end this ship whole career...
I love how you can hear snippets of what would be SGA's future soundtrack throughout this episode.
*scientists at McMurdo when futuristic combat fighters start landing on the glacier*
"What in the fuuuuuuuck?"
"Sign here, and here, and you are now sworn to secrecy."
Eh, just put them in the hanger where they're storing the Thing's makeshift saucer.
A little latter the prometheus shows up..
WHAT THE HELL?
This is the best script in the whole franchise.
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")
@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.
One of the best Science Fiction Series of all time
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
The look on Bra'tac's face. That of seeing the fruition of his life's work to free the Jafa. It was one of the most satisfying moments of the entire series for me.
I remember watching this tv show when i was little, man i loved it. Time flies fast.
Captain Benjamin Sisko of DS9 and General Hammond of SGC are the two foremost people you really wanna have during a war🖖🖖🖖
I love the Prometheus's 'throom-throom-throom' engine noise.
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
"Defend that scout ship at all costs." Hammond knowing SG-1 VERY well.
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.
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?
It's like a recurring thing with the gould system lords die screaming look how apophis went out
1:00 (president turns around) Now, can somebody remove these bulletholes out of my desk?
I can’t be the only one who got chills and a full chub when Hammond and the boys arrived.
"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.
I love the way the bad guys always yell NOOOOOOOOO!😂
I love how drones can pass gould shields like the ancients knew they be a freat
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"
Как же я люблю этот сериалы и Атлантиду и вселенную. Шикарно. Пересматривал раза 3.
The Battle of Antarctica! One of my favorite SG-1 scenes ever! KICKASS!
Look at that gun training as the agent fires his gun sideways while shoving people out of his way, excellent form lol
"They are coming from the surface, My God, beautiful..."
0:05 yet not a single bullet hole in the furniture, wall or windows after shooting a dozen or so rounds each.
Anubis: "Bow to your new god!"
POTUS: "Unfortunately for you, I invested in gold."
The best way to handle that negotiation would've been to just start laughing in his face. I mean hysterical laughter, from everyone in the room. Extremely unsettling to egomaniacs
The late Prometheus refitted with Asgard systems would have one-shotted the invasion force like brushing off mosquitoes. .
The kull warriors flailing around was pretty funny
ikr it looks like a power rangers vilain
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.
basically the most anticipated part of Stargate during my childhood :D
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.
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.
I always really liked how the president handles that conversation. Regardless of how much bluffing he did, that's the perfect way to handle that situation.
It always gave me the impression that no matter how serious the threat of the Goa'uld and huge the galaxy is, Earth is still doing its own thing. Anubis was just an interruption for the president.
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
I like how all these sci fi shows have massive ships just hovering in the air
we all remember how this felt... man i miss those days
The best sci-fi series ever made imho. Very underrated by critics but beloved by fans.
Now they need to explain shooting up the Resolute Desk.
It was satisfying to see Earth able to stand up and protect itself with its own ship and fighters for once instead of being helpless.
I was a kid when i first time have seen this episode and i was so fascinating and still after so many years this moment gives me a goose bumps, thank you SG1 and Atlantis for reminding me my childhood ❤️
meanwhile in Indiana, a barber named Joe is botching a meeting with his wife in a park...
"Bow before your god."
"I don't think so."
This show was so unabashedly, unrepentantly American its like it came from a different universe compared to 2023.
Jack Oneil: DANIEL!! 😑
Daniel Jackson: Jaack!? 🤔
And in an alternate reality....
Anubis: "I surrender, in exchange you will bring me all your coffee!"
There would have been more drones launched then.
Everyone is scared until golden experience requiem is there
Is this a Jojo reference?
Remarkably little damage from the hail of bullets fired into the desk and wall behind the hologram.
Accidentally put the subtitles on and they had me in stitches! "If you possessed weapons magic Bobby... You'd of used them" thank you TH-cam auto gen 🤣🤣
I can't help but admire President Hayes' trust in SG-1 :D
What a show it was. Lucky are us who got to live it back then.
3:54 When you are desperate down to nothing and ready for a kamikaze run. But suddenly you are saved by a swarm of ancient drones at the last moment.
Have you noticed that there are no bullet holes in the wall when they are shooting at Anubis
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 😉🤔
I would've loved to see this many drones used against the super hive in the last episode of Atlantis. Maybe they wanted to show earth defending themselves with their own weapons, but i think it was a missed opportunity.
It's also possible a human mind can't handle that many drones at the same time.
Wasn't one of the problems later in the series that they are almost out of Atlantean drones since they can't produce it?
@@MDP1702 If I remember correctly, they never said how many drones they had in Atlantis. They only mention getting drones and jumpers from the city in the episode "the tower".
4:27 Anubis knew at that moment, he knew he f-ed up.
Just reinforces what a fantastic feel good show this series was!
"damn it O'Neal, ever hear of overkill?! Those drones don't grow on trees you know, you're going to be scrubbing floors until you've paid for every single one of them!"
Drones are smart weapons. Any drones still active after the attack has been completed will return to storage for later use.
This will always bring a tear of joy and wonder to my eyes...
Too phuking bad they can’t make shows like this anymore.
Stargate is the bomb! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Anubis could be described as the old dog of the Goa'uld who learnt a few ascended tricks.
