i hope you enjoy!! as always feel free to suggest any video ideas you want me to make about any syfy show such as stargate, torchwood, doctor who etc..! like for part 2!! (part 2+3 have now been made)
And how John for some inexplicable reason just liked him from the start, which probably didn't happen often to Rodney. You can tell their friendship meant a lot to him.
@@vanyadolly I think John liked Rodney because John grew up around people who were liars and devious and secretive and the nature of his job leads to secrecy but Rodney wasnt afraid to speak his mind about the situation or about John and I think he appreciated that kind of candid approach
I like how SG-1 and SGA handled their respective main cast duo composed of "a soldier" and "a scientist" by making them both similar and different at the same time. Daniel and O'Neill bonded over the fact that their personalities are pretty much polar opposites and they complimented each other like that. While, Rodney and John, despite having different roles in the team, are similar in their dorkiness, like they're on the same wavelength.
100% correct Daniel and Jack need each other to balance their extremes John and Rodney need each other to affirm and enhance their extremes I don't think John and Rodney would be themselves without each other
I love how Dr. Weir at 3:27, she got them pegged dead to rights. Especially funny since they're both so vastly different and yet still have things they will lie to the boss for each other. Also too bad for the other scientists. If you got your head nerd and head jock agreeing, you run and don't stop until the shockwave passes you.
@@strawberrylotlizard shepard's actor didn't even watch sg-1 before starting Atlantis, one reason being that he feared he would try and copy Jack and his relationship with Daniel.
@@strawberrylotlizard I don't see that many similarities between the two relationships. O'Neill mostly ignores the science-y/nerdy aspects of being on a gate team while Sheppard is unashamedly a nerd, talking scifi with Rodney. Yeah, they both bicker but Sheppard and McKay have more interests in common. Just my 2 cents though.
@@WouldntULikeToKnow. I agree with you that they have more interests I'm common, John is a nerd. He makes Sci fi jokes (star wars and star trek) and knows (somewhat) the different catwomen actresses he also loves back to the future John could've been in mensa. We see him solve problems, not just maths but strategic as well, In fact, John is something of a tactical genius, his intelligence can keep pace with Rodney. There is an entire episode dedicated to John and Rodney fighting in some sort of video game role playing dnd (I know it isn't dnd that's just the easiest way to quantify the geek level going on). When Rodney is in Grace Under Pressure, John starts up a project with a group of scientists to save Rodney, considering he takes charge I'd say that some brain in his head, However, we nearly never see John behave this way in mckay-free situations. Rodney freed John's geekiness, making him a more complete and happy person. Fact.
It is something every women would do too. Men are just not writing it into Shows so people believe everything is a gay thing or a women thing becouse that is what they see on tv, whst is far from reality
well hopefully there might be a new series in the tone of SG1 and Atlantis, Universe was a nice experiment but didnt work for me and I feel like if they do make some new stuff Brad Wright would have picked up on fans mixed reaction to Universe
@@MortalDeathGaming Season 2 of SGU was pretty good as they figured out how to edit and film that format. It felt a bit closer to a high budget SGA. Perhaps it would have been more successful if they still had the 25 mins per episode constraint.
@@everybodyisanidiot4553 what do you mean 25 mins per episode all Stargate stuff has been the 40-42 minute mark for hour long show and ehhhh sorry to disagree but Universe just wasn't great for me not many memorable characters in a pretty bland boring story. Voyager had a similar premise but there was a part of that i liked. Their journey to get home but SGU just felt empty and lifeless for the most part. Some nice moments and relatively good idea but poorly executed imo
@@MortalDeathGaming Just made a double check... it is 40mins, i may be thinking of another sci-fi show. SGU ended right when it was getting interesting but yeah i understand if the first season was too agonizing to watch you wouldn't care too much about the characters in the second season.
At the beginning of Season 2 Sheppart _utterly_ loses faith in Rodney when his hubris (and Shep vouching for him) nearly got them AND the Daedalus killed. It's kinda bittersweet seeing their sibling routine in S1 because the writers kept that distrust streak up. While it eventually fades into sass back and forth, they can't grin at cool things together anymore.
In my opinion, I disagree, I wouldn't say John utterly loses faith, We see in trinity (I really hate that episode), that John understands what Rodney is doing, he's seen it before, even in the middle of Rodney making his mistake John connects with him on an emotional level, something he struggles and is uncomfortable with, he saves Rodney and is less angry afterward than is awkward, Rodney makes a sincere apology and John, while still acknowledging Rodney's mistake, accepts with a smile saying he's sure Rodney will earn that faith back, That sureness in and of itself proves John hasn't lost all faith in Rodney, he still believes in him, In critical mass (I think, the one where they find the orion), we see a bitter return to the blowing up a solar system thing at the start of the episode and what we originally interpret as John isolating Rodney, but whenever McKay isn't in the room and they're flirting with imminent death, John shows HUGE faith in Rodney, he baits Rodney into working harder and harder because he knows Rodney can do it and trusts him blindly, Rodney delivers, enforcing the restored trust. Then, in Doppelganger, we see John nearly kill himself trying to save Rodney knowing it's impossible at the time to save them both. In effect committing suicide so Rodney won't die an awful death. We see nightmare John taunt Rodney into hopelessness, real John telling Rodney not to listen, we also see John's worst nightmare, not everyone dying/him failing everyone which would be similar to Ronon's dream, but Rodney dying and never coming back, his evil twin taunts him with this, John's worst nightmare. The others in the dream say John isn't a good friend showing that however unspokenly, John sees Rodney as his friend, and a damned good one, considering losing Rodney was the nightmare the entity chose to torture him with. We even see John talk a man into killing himself to save Rodney. There are LOTS of other examples. But I have a feeling this is already very long. Just decided this mission to affirm your faith in Rodney and John was worth it. In my opinion, they get closer after recovering from trinity. Have a nice, Atlantisy, day.
sg-1 is a great show. but after season 1 imo atlantis is the better overal show. the humor was much better for everyone. stories were more consistantly better. i feel like everyone worked, played off one another better. the show also seemed more grounded. i mean how many times does sg-1 die.......... i mean dead dead. and come back... making it cartoon like. where this show there was almost never reset button. they fed up people died. the end.
@@TheFaceOfWhoDWTSG TO ALL STARGATE FANS: Check out the RU-vid channel called 'dial the gate' it has interviews with the stargate stars and behind the scenes people and they're hosting these interviews every second or third day for weeks on end now.. Pass the message along and help keep the fandom strong, please and thank you..👍❤️👍
8:47 MAJOR audio jump in volume.. although I'm fairly certain you already know this.. I can assume that you got the bugs works out of your video editing as I've not experienced this in your newest videos. Still I enjoyed the video.. :) thank you!
There was a huge rise of slash fanfic almost from the beginning. The producers tried to lean against that in the show. so they were not shown together much in later episodes. Fear of the conservatives. Fanfic adjusted that.
That is true. You had the best John/Rodney moments in Seasons 3 & 4 and the beginning of Season 5 (The Shrine being the last great one) and then I also noticed they weren't put together as much later in the season. Which sucks because John and Rodney's dynamic is the BEST.
I wonder if it was also backlash from the fan boys,much like those that hate on kirk/spock...get do offended when they are paired...a reason kirk became known as a womanizer(which he really wasn't any worse than anyone else really in tos).
I love how they do the same thing with john like they did with jack. You notice he was very clever with solutions and you get that ancient gene vibe when both show their potential.
Jesus. You went to the trouble of collecting all of these but couldn't take a minute to normalize the audio. Our ears sure thank you for your lack of skill.
I love how the writers developed McKay's character! when he was introduced to us in SG-1 I hated him! he was so arrogant and self righteous and I was disappointed when he was in sg Atlantis but I grew to love him and it was a graduale change and that's what made him so believable and you ended up really caring about him and that was down to the fantastic writing! such a shame Atlantis ended and we had to endure sg universe! universe was as bad as SG-1 and Atlantis was good!
@@WouldntULikeToKnow. I don't think that I explained myself clearly? What I actually said was that SG-1 and Atlantis were as great as universe was bad? meaning that I absolutely loved SG-1 and Atlantis and I hated universe.... I hope that clarifies the misunderstanding?
Yes, Mass Effect ripped off large chunks of its premise from SG:A. SG:A is about Lt. Colonel John Sheppard, a human military officer who leads an elite team composed of humans and aliens in order to save the galaxy from an ancient race which slumbers for long periods of time between culling the population and destroying any technologically advanced civilization, making use of a stealth ship which traverses long distances by means of a network of teleportation devices constructed by an ancient race, while having his actions constantly questioned by civilian leaders based on an ancient flying city.

Inertial Dampening is what McKay said. Inertial Damping is what CC put on screen. Ugh. So annoying that Star Trek says "Dampening" and "Damping", "Dampers" and "Damperers" throughout the franchise, even though Dampening and Damperer is the only correct way to say it.
