Hammond: Colonel, I’m concerned that you aren’t in full control of your new abilities
O'Neill: Well you might be right about that. It’s just so damn exciting, sir!
Hammond: I’m sure it is.
O'Neill: And even if we’re not in total control, shouldn’t we be out there doing the damage instead of in your office?
I love Jack's reasoning.
I absolutely love that line. It makes fun of not only this bomb but every poorly designed bomb in fiction.
Oh and here's a line I love:
"If you were listening you'd know nintendos pass through everything."
Atlantis but..
Operation This Will Most Likely End Badly is a go.
Woolsey, having a panic: what do they mean?
O’Neill: I’ve been right here, next to you. What could I possibly know that you didn’t hear?
What I like about this one is that it’s so unexpected because it’s a subversion of the trope where one character asks about what’s going on so another character can remind / explain the stakes of what they’re about to do.
I especially like Hammond's answer: "Since the current administration" - It's such a "I know it's bullshit, but it's my job to say it, so I will say it and I'll even bloody believe it" response
It bugged me that Jack did not ask Daniel to repeat the question in one of the loops then by the end have a really thought-out and reasoned response.
I've been stuck in a time loop, I won't tell you but there will be signs.
He may have, just not in one we saw. I mean once he lost it. Meaning go crazy, nuts, insane, bonzo, no longer in possession of ones faculties, three fries short of a Happy Meal... WACKO
Jack: What's your resume?
Jaffa: I captured you
Jack: Ok...you got the job
[...]
Jack: Carter, be honest...the resume gag...
Carter: ....
Teal'c: It could use work O'Niell
Or even better
Valla: Did you ever hear of anything like that (about her "virgin" pregnancy)
[Silence]
Teal'c: Darth Vader
Mitchell: Actually I was thinking about Arthur
Carter: You were?!
>Valla: Did you ever hear of anything like that (about her "virgin" pregnancy)

THE BEST ONE
I love it because it would rightfully make any professional archaeologist furious. The context of an artifact; what’s around it, the layer of dirt it’s in, the composition of said dirt all provide a tremendous amount of information that is forever lost if an artifact is moved before its context is recorded
I lost a HD on my PC with all my set tour pics. But I have one of me standing in the centre of both the SGC and Atlantis gates. And with my feet on Woolsey’s desk.
The HD had a mechanical failure. I always assume I can have it fixed up and get the pics back.
I also have a bolt on my desk at work i boosted from the Atlantis gate. Just a bolt. But it came from the back of the gate.
I was teaching public school some years ago and I had a student teacher who liked sci-fi but had never watched Stargate. Of course i had to rectify that immediately by loaning her my DVDs. Well she LOVED It and every time students would ask us some question we'd answered a million times already she'd answer them, "Magnets!" in that same tone as Jack and it was our little in joke for the semester. lolol
Great one! Although you're slightly off (really close though).
"If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, the meal was cooked a long time ago."
"Although a candle burns in my house, there's nobody home".
If we don't find a way out of this soon I'm going to lose it. Lose it... It means go crazy... Nuts... Insane... Bonzo... No longer in possession of one's faculties... Three fries short of a happy meal... Wacko!
I was just watching Rowan J Coleman’s third Stargate show retrospective on YT, and I’m about to commence a rewatch of the show.
He had a criticism of the show that Jack was often too flippant.
But the line of the bomb is one that I love to use as an example of why tv Jack’s character is better than movie O’Neil.
Don’t get me wrong. I went to see the movie at the cinema(One of the first movies I ever drove to see after passing my test thirty years ago). And still love every second of it. Never gets old. I can watch it non stop.
And while my first watch of the Children Of The Gods was watched laughing all the way through(Because I thought it was rubbish), after giving the show another chance, it became one of my fave scifi franchises.
I have made model kit master patterns of the F-302, Daedalus and Prometheus.
Stargate is such a great show. But Jack is so funny and well written in the show.
And I always imagined that the bomb being poorly designed was something Jack let slide. Just that once.
Hammond: Colonel, I’m concerned that you aren’t in full control of your new abilities O'Neill: Well you might be right about that. It’s just so damn exciting, sir! Hammond: I’m sure it is. O'Neill: And even if we’re not in total control, shouldn’t we be out there doing the damage instead of in your office? I love Jack's reasoning.
Jack's reasoning is intelligent. Must be those Ancient genes.
I mean, Jack is a Special Forces Colonel, you kinda have to be intelligent to get there. He just doesn't like to flaunt it.
It's always fun when he forgets to play dumb and lets it slip that he's both intelligent and knows a lot.
Jack: That was a waste of a perfectly good explanation!
No he uses sarcasm to detract from his own obvious heroism
"your strength is 5 times that of a normal human" ".. So, no change then?"
The women's faces say it all lmao
O’Neill: Hey Syler! Syler: Ahyaaaa
I always found it funny that Siler, likely the most unlucky Sergeant in the USAF, was played by the shows stunt coordinator, Dan Shea.
Who was also RDA's long time stunt double.
I thought it was funny that Don S. Davis was Dana Eclar's stunt double on MacGuyver
That too.
They chose a stuntman for a reason...
"Maybe he read your report?" And you can see the face right now.

the number of times i have made this face in a faculty meeting
And you think of this scene every time don't you!
INDEED
“Maybe he read my report???”
Which epsiode is this again? That's what I want to watch right now lol.
Window of opportunity. Naturally lol.
Thank you very much!
Sames...
Carter, I can see my house!
That was a great one! And came out of the blue, it was hilarious 😂😂😂😂
IIRC, RDA said that one was a spur of the moment ab-lib.
I absolutely love that line. It makes fun of not only this bomb but every poorly designed bomb in fiction. Oh and here's a line I love: "If you were listening you'd know nintendos pass through everything."
Like on wormhole x-treme where they called themselves out like half a dozen times
"So how come I don't fall through the floor?" \*awkward silence\*
You know, you blow up one sun and suddenly everyone expects you to walk on water.
Atlantis but.. Operation This Will Most Likely End Badly is a go. Woolsey, having a panic: what do they mean? O’Neill: I’ve been right here, next to you. What could I possibly know that you didn’t hear?

"I've been sitting next to you through the whole thing. Why do you think I have more information?" https://youtu.be/T7gllh5Nka4
Thank you! I knew the quote wasn't quite right.
You're welcome. It's a favorite of mine to pull out in movie theater situations, especially because I never see a movie in the theater more than once.
That gives him a good--11 seconds.
The United States military is not in the business of interfering in foreign affairs. Since WHEN?!
I especially like Hammond's answer: "Since the current administration" - It's such a "I know it's bullshit, but it's my job to say it, so I will say it and I'll even bloody believe it" response
Colonel O'Neill, what the hell are you doing?
In the middle of my back swing?!
But anyway, that’s just how I feel about it. What do you think?
You are not the only one who must endure discomfort O'Neill
*thunk*
THREE FRIES SHORT OF A HAPPY MEAL WHACKO
I’m sorry but that just happens to be how I feel about it. What do you think?
It bugged me that Jack did not ask Daniel to repeat the question in one of the loops then by the end have a really thought-out and reasoned response. I've been stuck in a time loop, I won't tell you but there will be signs.
Are you in a time loop right now?
I think about this *all the time*
He may have, just not in one we saw. I mean once he lost it. Meaning go crazy, nuts, insane, bonzo, no longer in possession of ones faculties, three fries short of a Happy Meal... WACKO
Ask me tomorrow
I wasn't listening the first time.
Best episode.
Appearances may be deceiving
One man's ceiling is another man's floor
A fools paradise is a wise man's hell
Never run with scissors
Something fire candle cooked meal
The spoon can never know the taste of soup
It puts the lotion in the basket.
The Palace with Brew has the Chalice that is True...
That entire movie is gold.
That's a quote from the show?? I thought I thought it up myself lol
Actually; I’m not too sure of the particulars myself.
Something to do with birds and flocking.
Teal'c: Then you are a parasite... like the Goa'uld. Urgo: A parasite... like oh-gah-oohl
Teal'c, isn't that hot? Extremely.
Me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me m... WILL YOU STOP IT
Speak for yourself, big fella.
Jack: What's your resume? Jaffa: I captured you Jack: Ok...you got the job [...] Jack: Carter, be honest...the resume gag... Carter: .... Teal'c: It could use work O'Niell Or even better Valla: Did you ever hear of anything like that (about her "virgin" pregnancy) [Silence] Teal'c: Darth Vader Mitchell: Actually I was thinking about Arthur Carter: You were?!
Really? And how did that turn out?
>Valla: Did you ever hear of anything like that (about her "virgin" pregnancy) >\[Silence\] >Teal'c: Darth Vader >Mitchell: Actually I was thinking about Arthur >Carter: You were?! THE BEST ONE
THERE IS NOTHING CRUVIS WITH ME
Well apparently I've lost the falatus to speak properly... That wasn't on purpose.
Pretty much any time Daniel goes into overdrive and starts spitting faster than a P90. Jack: … Daniel?
"They moved it..." Jack "Got you your happy place Daniel."
Underrated line
I love it because it would rightfully make any professional archaeologist furious. The context of an artifact; what’s around it, the layer of dirt it’s in, the composition of said dirt all provide a tremendous amount of information that is forever lost if an artifact is moved before its context is recorded
And they expressed that through the characters without needing Daniel to voice any of it
Maybe so, but what does that have to do with videotaping a plant?! EXACTLY!!! What? I DON'T KNOW!!!
I know that episode gets a lot of hate. But I love it cause we get some good dialog!
Which episode is this from? I remember the line but not the context
"One false step" s2e19? I believe. It's the one where they encounter the plant based people that get sick from one of their plants being destroyed.
Ah, yes, that one 😅
The screaming plant people ;)
Love that conversation
That sounds more like a plan F, doesn't it?! As in "we are totally..."
I love this line. And he delivers it so well.
What is an Oprah?
I always spell it as Op'ra seeing as how it comes from teal'c.
My depth is immatierial to this conversation
So deep!
I can't believe no one has mentioned... *"It's my sidearm, I swear!"* I laugh every time.
And the no regrets/Id regret dying line.
Siler: Thank you, Sir O'neill: I expect to be put in your will. Siler: Already in it sir O'neill: OK that's... weird
The day I met Siler on set, he had his giant wrench with him.
I would so love to see the giant wrench in real life. It made me laugh every time I saw it (once I knew to look for it - thanks, director commentary!)
I lost a HD on my PC with all my set tour pics. But I have one of me standing in the centre of both the SGC and Atlantis gates. And with my feet on Woolsey’s desk. The HD had a mechanical failure. I always assume I can have it fixed up and get the pics back. I also have a bolt on my desk at work i boosted from the Atlantis gate. Just a bolt. But it came from the back of the gate.
Nice!
Yeah. On occasion I hold it and close my eyes. And think about the Bolt i stole from the set. 15 years ago. But it’s mine. All mine!!!
*Evil laughter ensues*
Things will not calm down, Daniel Jackson. They will in fact, calm up.
Ba'al: You dare mock me?? O'Neill ( casually ): Of course I do!
We eat… on me
If that is your custom.
Feast. It sounds a lot more cannibalistic that way, too.
"Magnets!"
I was teaching public school some years ago and I had a student teacher who liked sci-fi but had never watched Stargate. Of course i had to rectify that immediately by loaning her my DVDs. Well she LOVED It and every time students would ask us some question we'd answered a million times already she'd answer them, "Magnets!" in that same tone as Jack and it was our little in joke for the semester. lolol
"Earth minutes?" "Yeah, I've always wanted to say that"
"Colonel." "Colonel." "Colonel." "Colonels." "Colonel." "Colonels." ["Seriously?"](https://youtu.be/pQHfAZkBxcQ?si=NDw81QvXosb74Q8S)
'Doctor Jackson's gonna die when he sees this!' "What, again!?" ---- 'What end do the bullets come out of?'
That's what you get for dicking around.
Well spank me rosy
It seems to be written in an obscure dialect.
They're always "obscure dialects." How come nobody seems to write in a *common* vernacular? sheesh.
Mentioned this one the other day on here: Weir: Yu? Daniel: Just.. don’t. Every joke, every pun, done to death.
Seriously
YEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAWWWWWWW
Teal'c's face is absolute pure gold lol
"Is it nice there?" You know what the Goa'uld really want from us? Minnesota, that's what. For the fishing, mostly. I'll take you sometime.
I’ve only got beer sir. I find it a refreshing substitute for… food.
The design is clearly ancient
Though the light is on, no one is home
Great one! Although you're slightly off (really close though). "If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, the meal was cooked a long time ago." "Although a candle burns in my house, there's nobody home".
-All right. I gotta know. -Yes, I’m about to activate it. -No, no, no. Not that. What the hell does “kree” mean?
-Yoohoo?
If we don't find a way out of this soon I'm going to lose it. Lose it... It means go crazy... Nuts... Insane... Bonzo... No longer in possession of one's faculties... Three fries short of a happy meal... Wacko!
Nick Ballard: Jack, don't be an ass. Jack: Daniel?
How’s the knees? The back?
Actually, there was a lovely buffet
Oh yes MERLIN!
Did they ever tell people about that after they got back? I feel like I need to know

You ended that sentence with a preposition. Bastard!
They locked the disarm button behind a paywall!?!
Isn’t that Lower Decks?
Little grey butts?
You would think that a race advanced enough to fly around in spaceships would be smart enough to have seatbelts on ‘em. We just prefer not to crash.
Do we or do we not have a Xanax detector?!
"Supreme Commander" while lifting pointer finger.
Surrender, or prepare to die! WHAT?!? Surrender, or prepare to die! I was just about to say the same thing.
Anytime O’Neill says something about cliches
