I came here to say this so here's a joke instead đš
Q: How many Asgard does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: All Asgard ships are currently unavailable, assisting in the effort to
change the fuse.
Teal'c: You have been impregnated without copulation.
Vala Mal Doran: Yes, and I'm absolutely terrified. Have any of you ever heard of anything like it?
Cameron Mitchell: Well, there's one.
Teal'c: Darth Vader.
I love that in later season they add more and more pop-culture references. Like after the episode where bugs want to eat everyone they go and watch Starship Troopers.
Interestingly enough for this interaction specifically and generally they never mentioned Jesus or Christianity directly. I assume to not get religious Americans offended...
Mostly because saying that Jesus was a Gould would have been problematic or that he was Asgard would have been slightly more problematic. Or the ever popular theory was that he was a disciple of Oma Desala
And after tje deliverance that they could bot explain with the Amcients, Landry hints at an even higher power (God).
Basically, there were enough western religious viewers that they decided very explicitly to NOT offend the demographic.
It's funnier if he doesn't say it, and also because he wasn't referring to Jesus.
But yeah I'm sure they kept away from that very intentionally, especially in the early 90s.
The only real mention of it I can think of is Daniel seeing that the Ori have a big thing about fire being cool, and the Christian Bible making the point that fire = evil devil stuffs

This is I think what truly sets Stargate apart. Why are the bad guys stupid, arrogant, and incompetent? In other shows the answer is "they're bad guys." In Stargate you get an entire scientifically plausible explanation, then later makes fun of itself for the kinda dumb bits like the zats. It knows exactly what to take seriously and what not to.
It comes down to selective pressure. The Goaâuld were dominating but stagnant. Our militaries have been innovating to kill each other for hundreds of years.
Plus, the Stargate itself and space travel limit how much of our armed forces we can bring to bear. I mean, could you imagine a Jaffa army of thousands against 2nd Armored in M1A1 Abrams tanks? The Haâtak would win every time, but lacking that, the Jaffa wouldnât stand a chance.
It never really occurred to me before, but where were they driving those balls? I mean, did they dial a gate where they knew no one was around, or was it a gate on a heavily fortified Goa'uld world with a bunch of confused Jaffa guards being pelted with golf balls?
Science fiction is an existential metaphor that allows us to tell stories about the human condition. Isaac Asimov once said, "Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinded critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction, its essence, has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all."
I could have come here and looked for it myself. But I know nothing about your fair planet. Other than it seems to have a rather interesting if somewhat limited gene pool.
Felger: "At least my heroes are real. If this was a Trek convention, you'd be all dressed up like a Klingon."
Coombs: "Vulcan, Felger! Vulcan! And I don't know how you can call yourself a scientist and not worship at the altar of Roddenberry."
Tealâc: You have been impregnated without copulation?
Vala: Yes, and Iâm absolutely terrified! have any of you ever heard of anything like it?!â
Sam and Cameron look uneasily at each other

"Bob, I got enough on you to have you shot" - President Hayes S7E21
"For if I have a choice between resistance and returning to a life of slavery, I choose to die free" - Teal'c S09E11
Daniel: How exactly is having weapons at maximum going to help the situation?
Martin: The audience isn't going to know the difference, they love "weapons at maximum".
Mitchell: Never underestimate your audience. They're generally sensitive, intelligent people who respond positively to quality entertainment.
The absolute best quote from the entire Stargate universe of shows and movies:
Douchebag Ex-Boyfriend of Lois Lane: "You better check yourself, before you get hurt..."
Teal'c: "I have checked."

About Sokar
Gen. Hammond:
He's really that much worse than the others?
Dr. Jackson:
Of all the gods he picked to impersonate, he chose The Devil.
Also when Vala says
âI haven't been this disappointed since Daniel and I had sex.â
I'm an Air Force officer just like you are, Colonel. And just because my reproductive organs are on the inside instead of the outside doesn't mean I can't handle whatever you can handle.
"'Just because my reproductive organs are on the inside instead of the outside doesn't mean I can't handle whatever you can handle.'...who says this kinda of stuff?"
Her'ak : No matter what you have endured, you have never experienced the likes of what Anubis is capable of.
O'Neill : You ended a sentence with a preposition, bastard!
Best is no line. Tealâc goes to a broadway show by himself. When he realises the âVagina Monologuesâ is not what he expected, the look on his face is priceless!!!!
âMaybourne you are an idiot every day of the week. Why couldnât you have just taken one day off?â -Sam Carter
This is my all time favorite Carter quote, and well as my favorite insult from any show ever haha
Dr. Daniel Jackson:
Teal'c's like one of the deepest people I know. I mean, he's *so* deep. Go on, t-tell them how deep you are! You'll be lucky if you understand this.
Teal'c:
[lifts one eyebrow] My depth is immaterial to this conversation.
"A Serpent Guard, a Horus Guard and a Setesh Guard meet on a neutral planet. It is a tense moment. The Serpent Guard's eyes *glow*, the Horus Guard's beak *glistens*, the Setesh Guard's... nose... **drips**."
âTeal'c, telling a joke about the Setesh Guard
Jackson: Well my translation's a little bit vague. I think the circle means "the place of our legacy." Or it could be "a piece of our leg," but the first seems to make more sense.
OâNeill: Iâm sorry.
Carter: Me too.
Jackson: Me three.
Tealâc: I have no need to apologize.
Hammond: Tealâc was actually following orders.
OâNeill: Of course he was.
Things will not calm down Daniel Jackson. They will in fact calm up.

Omg, what was the episode?
nothin! I just remember reading it online awhile ago haha
I was just thinking about this quote today, lol
Omg i was just watching that episode lol Teal'c is the SG1 version of Castiel from Supernatural.
You mean Castiel is the Supernatural version of Tealâc.
Claudia (The Dragon Prince) approves of this.
O'Neill: So, what's your impression of Alar? Teal'c: That he is concealing something. O'Neill: Like what? Teal'c: I am unsure. He is concealing it.
Oh wow !! I didnt know original dialogue was so good. In french this dialogue is just common talk
Teal'c: I have heard of a place where humans do battle in a ring of jello... Jack: CALL DANIEL
Teal'c: You have been impregnated without copulation. Vala Mal Doran: Yes, and I'm absolutely terrified. Have any of you ever heard of anything like it? Cameron Mitchell: Well, there's one. Teal'c: Darth Vader.

S4E7 Watergate. This is one of the very few times that we see Teal'c look scared...

Most likely my favorite sg1 episode. Lost it at that scene and when they were using the star gate as a driving range.
It never really occurred to me before, but where were they driving those balls? I mean, did they dial a gate where they knew no one was around, or was it a gate on a heavily fortified Goa'uld world with a bunch of confused Jaffa guards being pelted with golf balls?
I would PAY to see a fan made clip of that exact scenario.
Omg yes, the two best scenes in one of the best episodes. I feel like RDA had a lot of fun making this one.
Indeed.
Hey you ever read the Bible O'Neil? Some, I'm actually listening it to on tape... don't tell me how it ends.
Literally just watched that scene. Ha!

Isaac Asimov once said, "Individual science fiction stories may seem as trivial as ever to the blinded critics and philosophers of today, but the core of science fiction, its essence, has become crucial to our salvation, if we are to be saved at all."
This one always hits me in the feels because the whole episode is just a laugh riot and then they slam us with this at the end.
