Mistakes in Stargate Episodes

[SamFan]

Here's an example:

Lt. Hammond's eyes are brown in the episode "1969" (season two), but General Hammond's eyes are always blue. Lt. Hammond is also, like, 2 ft. taller than his older counterpart.

Anyone else got any more?

SamFan :wave:

>Anyone else got any more?

Er. . not off hand.

Frankly, I was pretty impressed by the resemblence to
Hammond.

>2 ft. taller

Perhaps Hammond didn't drink enough milk.

Hey here is a false Mistake.

In the first episode with Hathor in it, it looks like the camera
caught her going off stage by accident, but latter you find out
it was intentional.

There's an episode in either s6 or s7 where Jacob comes to the SGC - Sam goes to meet her father in the gate room and very clearly raises her arms to hug him as he comes through the event horizon - BEFORE he does so.

She can only do that because she can see the actor about to step through the EH, when if it were real she would not be able to...

1969

I know this is nitpicking, but in the episode '1969', the USAF Security Police members are wearing the Blue Beret. This is incorrect.

The Blue Beret was adopted by the 1041st Security Police Squadron in Vietnam in 1965. The unit became the 82nd Combat Security Police Squadron and was decommissioned in 1968. The USAF did not readopt the Blue Beret for the Security Police until 1976. Before that, it was worn by a few Military Working Dog handlers in thailand in the early '70s.

The 1041st also used a Falcon in its flash on the Beret. The flash used by the troops in '1969' were wearing the cap insignia worn by USAF personnel.

The one good point of the episode was that the SPs were using M16s, not M16A1s with the forward assist. I spent 5 1/2 years as an SP in the late '80s and early '90s, and we were still using the old M16s without the forward assist.

Sorry about the nitpicking. I just thought it was kind of funny.

I noticed the thing with Sam and Jacob recently. It think it might have been The Changling.

Hey, no sweat! I'm a nitpicker by nature!

Some thing I have noticed (I may be wrong) but in the show it is that the ancients that built the stargate system. I don’t know for sure if the Goa'uld built the pyramids but if they had them build then why is the pyramid outline on earths stargate because the ancients would have built the stargate before the Goa'uld ever came to earth.

 

[PTeppic]

It's always been implied, from the film onwards, that when Ra came to Earth he took over the local religion - which MAY have been to take over the pyramid methodology. The very earliest pyramids were very rough, much more ziggurat style than later models - perhaps the Goa'uld made the improvements...?

You think the symbol for Earth is suppose to represent the
pyramids, but that isn't the case.

The symbol is like a character in the alphabet.
In the show many telephone medaphors are used.
It's more complex than a telephone, but basicaly the
symbols are like numbers on a telephone.

 

[Ghorkvos]

If it is not the pyramid then why does it appear on Abydos with the three moon like circles above the triangle and on earths' stargate with only one appearing to be a moon? Also in the movie Skaara was drawing the victory that they had in saving the Col. and Jack from the Goa'uld this hieroglyph was very similar to the Abydos unique symbol.

I agree that it is a character in an alphabet, but I assumed that it was also meant to represent a pyramid too. Can't it be both?

Egyptian Hieroglyphics use images of birds and such as letters. But it still looks like a bird even though its used as a letter.

In 'Stargate' whenever you see the airmen on Abydos wearing sunglasses, you can see the white boards and film crew in reflection.

This has been discussed (at length) in the "Stargate Technical" forum...

As above, all the "characters" in this alphabet are formed from shapes found around the gate-builders: mostly the shape of constellations as they appear above the Earth.

What is the definition of a character in an alphabet, and what is simply a symbolic representation of the meaning? Or are they the same thing? Since the glyph for "Sagittarius" means directly the point in space within Sagittarius (when used for dialling coordinates), I'm a little unsure whether that is really an "alphabet" and not just a symbol for the area of sky.

 

[McHorde-Trooper]

They Earth Symbol isn't even a full triangle.
It has little round ends.

I don't fully understand what Ghorkvos is saying, but
his post reminds me . . In the movie there was a scene where
they finally found the last gate quadrants to go home.

In the "alphabet" of locations on the Stargate, it is symbolic of the Earth - planet of the pyramids. On Abydos, the symbol is a pyramid with three moons. The Gamekeeper's planet has the swilry motion their technology produced - which is entirely unlikely to be Ancient derived, but heh.
