Colonel Maybourne is put in his place 

My favorite Carter line in the entire show was "Maybourne, you are an idiot everyday of the week, why couldn't you have just taken one day off?"

RDA may have been the headliner of this show, but Don Davis's performance never left any doubt as to who was in command of that base.

Gen. Hammond was the type of CO/boss you dream of having. He’ll put you in your place if necessary when you screw up, but will back you all the way when it’s warranted

That line at the end was only surpassed by "Son, do you know what COLOR this PHONE is?!"

Oh, how I loved Hammond of Texas.

The general should have been immediately informed of Maybourne's entrance on the base. It should not have been a surprise. Someone isn't doing their job.

The part where the General looks DIRECTLY at the Colonel's empty epaulets speaks to my vet soul

TOLLAN: Let me move this table out of the way so we can pass through walls.

I loved it how General Hammond threw his rank down on Colonel Maybourne. "That wasn't an invitation, it was an order... Colonel." That was the perfect mic drop moment.

Major General George S. Hammond - the kindest, most resilient man ever to grace the United States Air Force. Rest in peace, sir.

This moment is only surpassed by _"Supreme..._ commander"

"That wasn't an invitation, it was an order, COLONEL."

General Hammond: "That wasn't an invitation. It was an ORDER...COLONEL!" Don't pull rank on a stars! That will always end very badly!

I felt Hammond's last line through my monitor. Don Davis absolutely nailed his role, such a credit to the show.

Maybourne's character is definitely one that goes through a pretty intense journey over the series.... He was the the guy you loved to hate and eventually the guy you hated to love. Made a great "frenemy" to Jack later on.

RIP General Hammond of Texas.

Ah my teen years... So many hours watching this show... so worth every minute!

Some of Hammond's best moments were when he was sticking up for his people against douchebags from Washington. The best one was in "Heroes" when he gets in Woolsey's face and just lets everything fly that he's been holding in for the last seven years.

When the bird forgets that the stars are higher...

so much in that last line of dialogue to break down. "that was an order" *struts a little, examines the uniform of Maybourne and makes it obvious* "COLONEL!" the fact hammond is built like a house and towers over him. Great 5 seconds

I love how he was looking at his rank and then said Colonel, I miss General Hammond.

I don't think The General likes you trying to pull rank on him when he out ranks you.

Dear Colonel Maybourne, My brass is bigger. -General Hammond Ps. It's a Texas thing, son.

When Captain America said "I can do this all day" he was talking about watching General Hammond.

Don S. Davis is a deeply missed man.

When the commanding officer is not the main character in a show like this it takes good writing and characters to make the dynamic work, SG1 had both in abundance

Don S. Davis is the most underrated actor... EVER.

One of the few times you can TELL how pissed off Hammond was.. because he doesn't usually take that tone with /anyone/.

Don S Davis’ real life experience as a CO really brought a lot to this show.

They made hammond so well in this. Besides episode one (vaguely) i always felt like he cared greatly for the people he commands but its nice to see him pull rank now and then

You know, it wasn't until right before Davis died that I realized just how awesome a character Hammond was. Davis did such an outstanding job with him. I always liked him, but I tended to see him like you do all upper brass on sci-fi shows. Grudgingly necessary but generally in the way. Hammond was just the opposite. You really came to love the guy. Sad Davis died.

General Hammond dropping rank like it's a bad habit! YEAH!

I love the accuracy of this. Always liked how much effort they put into representing the Airforce and the military system in general. And the uniforms of different branches were always on point,

I love how as General Hammond was saying "That wasn't an invitation Colonel" he looked down at Mayborne's Rank Insignia.

I love how composed and resolute General Hammond is while calmly napalming COLONEL Mayborne's plans.

I miss the guy who played General Hammond he was really amazing I liked him alot

"Colonel O'Neill. I read about your conflict with Colonel Kennedy in his report. I assure you, such an attitude will not prevail with me, in either direction." "I sense that." And right there was the beginning of a beautiful... whatever the hell that relationship was! Is "frenmity" a word?

Quite honestly everyone who played anyone in this show did an amazing job. I really can't think of a single bad character.

0:48 what makes this so much better is the fact that, Richard Dean Anderson would ask the air Force advisors, if he was playing jack O'Neill right. They said that some of the lines he said where things that the air Force can't say, without getting into alot of trouble. I presume this is one of those lines.

love that. "That wasn't an invitation. It was an order. Colonel." ohhhhh the vitriol in that Colonel 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Simply how this series got so far. Mr Davis aka. "Hammond". RIP You were the general of the whole Sci Fi era.

Hammond of Texas was, is and will always be my favorite Stargate character. Don S. Davis always put in such a powerful performance. I love how he rank checked Maybourne with that quick but power look at his epaulets and then left absolutely no question of who was in in charge. Ole Harry left without a word because he knew better.

Don't bark at the biggest dog in the yard or you'll run away whimpering with your tail between your legs.

General Hammond doesn't let ANYONE pull rank on him, not even an Air Force Colonel! "That wasn't an invitation, it was an order COLONEL." RIP Don S. Davis aka General George Hammond.

The character of Colonel Mayborne gets a lot of hate; but quite frankly that is his role. Tom McBeath did a great job portraying a relatable and humanized "villain" in the context of the show. The NID and characters like Colonel Mayborne give the show depth and integrity. Not all of the bad guys are stereotypical alien villains. I appreciate that self awareness in sci fi and as such think we should acknowledge and respect Tom McBeaths wonderfull performance and commitment to his role as antagonist.

Coming from a military perspective that was badass. No way is a colonel going to to a two star general what to do.

Failing upwards. Love that line.

Always enjoyed watching Gen. Geo. Hammond use his rank so smoothly.

"That wasn't an invitation, that was an order, COLONEL." As in, until you have more stars on those shoulders, or you're on the other end of that red phone, I don't take orders from you.

i have the DVD and i still love this 59000 times later. so well written

I *love* the little glance down towards Maybourne's uniform that General Hammond does as he's pulling rank.

you know you dun goofed when hammond pulls rank

Maybourne was not an evil person. Misguided perhaps, uninformed without a doubt, self important for sure, but not evil. If you really watch, he was always trying to do what he honestly thought was best to insure the safety and security his country and his planet, even if he had to bend the rules to do it. Okay, maybe his country first, but he was career military. As the series went on, he grew, learned and eventually he and Jack even became reluctant allies when the need arose. Jack even seemed to give Maybourne a certain grudging respect, if not complete trust, at the end. That change and growth was why Maybourne was one of my favorite semi-regular characters in the series. As someone else posted, "He went from being the character you loved to hate to the character you hated to love."

"... talk about failing upwards" his lines are just perfect

I loved how Maybourne went from a character the viewer just hated, to a character you loved to hate, to a character that was just loved.

You don't tell a Major General that you're the boss when you're several ranks below him.

Don was so awesome in Stargate!

I miss this show so much.

it's the way he looks at his stars almost as if it say "oh those are still there" before saying "Colonel"

Right from the start you always knew it was going to end badly for Maybourne. But its good to be king.

I love the brief glance he gives to Maybournes silver birds on his shoulders when he said order and then looked him in the eye and said COLONEL

Ah, General Hammond... may you rest in peace

I forgot how gorgeous Sam was, time to rewatch this show, after I finished Atlantis :D

I'm not one to stan military hierarchy, but YEAH, you tell em, General!

GENERAL Hammond: That wasn't a request Colonel. Right in his place. God, I miss this man.

Now that’s a General I’d be happy to serve under. Hammond was a hell of a dude.

2:09 I also love the small detail of *_General_* Hammond looking at _Colonel_ Maybourne's shoulder as a sort of "I'm PRETTY SURE"

maybourne started off as someone you love to hate, but he saw some truly incredible character growth.

Maybourne was such a great character. What a bastard lol. Good actor too.

"I sensed that." "Good." Jack, to himself. "I just don't give a damn."

I just love this scene

HOW can you NOT love Col. Jack O'Neill?

Damn that I Miss this Show my friends. Thanks.

Gods, I loved Gen Hammon. "that was not a invitation, that was an order, colonel."

I don't understand how he thought that holding a group of people who's basic equipment allowed them to walk through walls was a good idea. I mean if that was a rescue team what would an attack team coming to get there people back look like?

I love General Hammond. He reminds me of a few of the Generals I served under during my time in the Military.

Old Stargate was great. Not that there weren't still some great moments later on, but the show just wasn't the same after season 5. The Nox and the Tolans were great, and the Goa'uld were still threatening. No human replicators, no "Ancients", no bad cosplaying, half-ascended system lords, and only a vague hint of the 'ascension' nonsense that infected the rest of the series. It had the right balance of fun adventure but still had a good score and a sense of gravity. And Daniel had his hair.

Best Show to ever exist ....

Don S Davis was a national treasure.

That was a very friendly way to order Maybourne into his room. The way he looked at his rank-signs and after at Maybournes was a super way to tell him: "Dont say a word - im General - YOU. NOT."

Maybourn was always a great character. He changed a lot over the seasons, but was always fun.

To relive the stargate days

Maybourne was also a great character and very useful in certain circumstances. But if he had a tail he'd be a weasel.

Colonel Harry Maybourne was a great character!

Best subtle acting example is when Hammond says, "That wasn't an invitation, it was an order..." glances at Maybourne's shoulder rank pin, "Colonel."

I love it when a general takes umbrage and pulls rank like that. Everyone steps back against a wall in full defensive positions! LOL

2:07 One of his most badass moments.

Always loved Hammond's character...

I super love that Hammond very pointedly looked at Maybourne's rank. XD

Ungh, one of the best Hammond lines, hell, one of the best Stargate lines, period. Absolute phenomenal acting by all concerned but particularly by Don S. Davis. RIP.

Don Davis could be the sweet understanding Father Figure one moment and a terrifying commanding presence in the next. Great Actor and a Great loss to Hollywood. He will never be forgotten

That wasn’t an invitation, It was an order…..COLONEL!

The way he looks down at his rank before he drops the bomb- perfect

Imagine unlimited budged with that kind of talented casting!

Loved seeing Mayborn put in his place. And even better, he knew who had more brass and he hated it.

The quarantine stuff now is pretty ironic now

Ladies n Gentlemen in today's exercise we will be talking about respect.....

Damn look at those keyboards i always forget how old this series is

Gosh I miss this show and the cast

It wasn't an invitation. It was an order. Colonel.
