    The Best Ending Tournament

    Ok I had another idea, that will hopefully take off Basically, there are a lot of great episode endings in Stargate so I thought it would be interesting to see what the overall best final scene is, as voted by Gateworld members.

    As I for one can't remember all the final scenes, I'll post them for each round. We'll start off with the first part of season 1: episodes 1 - 11

    Children of the Gods, part 1 (I realise this scene is actually cut from the episode when shown seperately but it's the last scene before the beginning of part 2 in the transcripts, so sorry if anyone has an issue with this scene being here as opposed to another of the possible cut off points between part 1 and 2)

    INT—O'NEILL'S HOUSE

    [O'Neill collects two beers from the fridge, takes them to the living room where Daniel is waiting. Daniel sneezes.]

    O'NEILL
    Nice catch.
    DANIEL
    Thank you, sorry. Gate travel always seems to make my allergies…
    (He blows his nose)
    Sorry.
    (He takes the beer)
    O'NEILL
    So, you were saying.
    DANIEL
    Anyway, um, as soon as you were gone they realised that they were free, I mean, Abydos was their world for the taking.
    O'NEILL
    Have a little party did ya?
    DANIEL
    Oh yeah, big, big party. They treated me like their saviour, it was um…embarrassing.
    O'NEILL
    It's amazing you turned out so normal.
    DANIEL
    Well if it wasn't for Sha're I probably…
    (He pauses at her memory)
    She was the complete opposite of everyone else,
    (He sits)
    she practically fell on the floor laughing every time I tried to do some chore that they all took for granted. Like um, grinding yaphetta flour. I mean, have you ever tried to grind your own flour?
    O'NEILL
    I'm trying to kick the flour thing.
    DANIEL
    (Laughs)
    This is going straight to my head.
    (Takes another swig of beer)
    What time is it anyway? I must have Gate lag or something.
    O'NEILL
    Daniel, for crying out loud, you've had one beer. You're a cheaper date then my wife was.
    DANIEL
    Yes, when am I going to meet your wife?
    O'NEILL
    Oh, probably…uh, never. After I came back from Abydos the first time she'd already left.
    DANIEL
    I'm sorry.
    O'NEILL
    Yeah, so was I. I think in her heart she forgave me for what happened to our kid, she just…couldn't forget.
    DANIEL
    And what about you?
    O'NEILL
    I'm the opposite, I'll never forgive myself, but sometimes I can forget. Sometimes.
    (He takes another swig of beer)


    Children of the Gods, part 2

    INT—GATE ROOM

    [The three fall through the Gate, Casey collapses to the ramp.]

    CARTER
    Now! Lock it up, lock it up!
    TECHNICIAN
    (Over the intercom)
    Closing iris!
    [The iris closes and they hear four metallic thuds as the guards that followed hit the metal. Then the sounds stop.]

    TECHNICIAN
    (Over the intercom)
    Wormhole disengaged.
    [The iris opens. Medics rush up the ramp as they are called.]

    SOLDIER
    Medic! Medic
    !
    O'NEILL
    You got him?
    (To Kawalski, motioning to Casey)
    KAWALSKI
    Yeah, I got him, thanks. Hold on here, get these people back.
    [The refugees surge forward and circle Carter and O'Neill, hugging and thanking them warmly.]

    MEDIC
    We've got to help these people, please.
    [Hammond walks up the ramp, amidst the confusion as Samuels clear the way for the medics.]

    SAMUELS
    Let's go, man down, stand back! Stand back!
    [The medics lift Casey on to a stretcher.]

    MEDIC
    Let's get him to the infirmary, let's get him inside.
    (They depart)
    HAMMOND
    Colonel O'Neill. Care to explain?
    CARTER
    Um, we can use the Stargate to send these people home, sir.
    HAMMOND
    What's he doing here?
    (Motioning to Teal'c)
    O'NEILL
    General Hammond, this is Teal'c. He can help us.
    HAMMOND
    Do you know what he is?
    O'NEILL
    Yes, sir I do, he's the man who saved our lives. And if you accept my recommendation, sir…he'll join SG-1.
    HAMMOND
    That decision may not be up to you.
    SAMUELS
    Stand back, let's get him off the ramp.
    [Kawalski is on his knees, looking a little distressed.]

    O'NEILL
    Kawalski, are you all right?
    KAWALSKI
    Yeah, I'm good.
    (He stands and regains his composure)
    HAMMOND
    Colonel O'Neill, Major Kawalski, this sure-to-be-very-interesting debriefing for SG units 1 and 2 will be at 0730.
    O'NEILL
    Yes, sir.
    SAMUELS
    All right, let's get these people situated.
    [They leave the Gate Room, leaving Teal'c, Carter, Daniel and O'Neill standing at the base of the ramp. Daniel looks back to the Gate.]

    DANIEL
    She's out there somewhere, Jack.
    O'NEILL
    I know. So's Skarra.
    DANIEL
    So what do we do?
    O'NEILL
    We find 'em.
    [He leaves and the others follow, behind them we see that Kawalski is still standing at the top of the ramp, almost inside the Gate. He walks down the ramp towards the camera and as he gets close, his eyes glow.]


    The Enemy Within

    INT—SGC GATE ROOM

    HAMMOND
    Colonel O'Neill, is SG-1 ready to ship out?
    O'NEILL
    We are, sir.
    HAMMOND
    Then you have a go for a standard recon mission on P3A-575.
    O'NEILL
    Yes, sir.
    [The doors open and Teal'c walks through.]

    TEAL'C
    Reporting as ordered.
    O'NEILL
    Sir…It's sir.
    TEAL'C
    Sir.
    HAMMOND
    Welcome aboard, son.
    [O'Neill and Teal'c walk up the ramp to join Daniel and Carter.]

    CARTER
    The MALP reports conditions on the planet are favorable.
    [Together, SG-1 walks up the ramp. They stop in front of the Gate. O'Neill looks across at his team.]

    O'NEILL
    Well?
    [Together, SG-1 walk into the wormhole.]


    Emancipation

    EXT—PLANET—DAY

    [The team approaches the Stargate.]

    CARTER
    So you think this new anesthesia will be a new miracle drug on Earth?
    DANIEL
    Well if it is, I bet somebody else will get the credit. We can never say where it came from.
    O'NEILL
    Damn. Guess I'm going to have to cancel that Oprah interview.
    TEAL'C
    What is an Oprah?


    The Broca Divide

    EXT—DIVIDING LINE BETWEEN DARK AND LIGHT—P3X-797

    [The Touched, now cured, begin to em ergefromthedarkside.]

    LEEDORA
    (sees an older man)
    Father.
    [She runs and hugs him, crying. Tuplo sees Melosha and runs to hug her. There is a reunion between the Touched and Untouched. Tuplo and Melosha walk over to O'Neill and kneel before him.]

    TUPLO
    You have done it my lord. Thank you.
    O'NEILL
    We'll teach you how to take care of the rest
    [He helps Tuplo and Melosha up. SG-1 and SG-3 begin to walk away]

    CARTER
    Uh, sir?
    O'NEILL
    Yeah?
    CARTER
    About my earlier behavior. I wasn't myself, I—
    O'NEILL
    (breaking in)
    Oh Carter, I don't even remember your earlier behavior.
    CARTER
    You don't?
    O'NEILL
    No, I was affected too, remember?
    CARTER
    Right. Good, I'm glad.
    O'NEILL
    By the way, how's the wound?
    CARTER
    Wound?
    O'NEILL
    I understand you got stabbed in the stomach or something?
    CARTER
    Oh! Yeah, it's nothing. With any luck there won't even be a scar.
    O'NEILL
    Oh, good. I was concerned.
    CARTER
    You were?
    O'NEILL
    Sure. If it doesn't heal properly you'll never wear that sweet little tank top number again.
    [O'Neill walks off, leaving Carter looking after him, bemused.]


    The First Commandment

    EXT — STARGATE

    [The Stargate is upright again. SG-1, Jamala, Connor and a few natives are hovering. Carter walks over to O'Neill.]

    CARTER
    Uh, I think we're ready.
    O'NEILL
    Think we should tell them to bury the Gate after were gone?
    CARTER
    Teal'c seems to think the Goa'ulds won't be back.
    [Daniel joins them.]

    DANIEL
    Maybe we should come back and check on these guys.
    CARTER
    I think we've done enough, don't you?
    [Daniel looks at her, then nods and walks away.]
    O'NEILL
    Something else on your mind?
    CARTER
    I had the chance to end this, Colonel. He literally asked me to do it.
    O'NEILL
    Killing a man is no badge of honor, Captain.
    CARTER
    I know.
    O'NEILL
    Look, I'm no expert on this thing.
    (He waves Hanson's bible)
    I generally read one commandment, and I think it's the first.
    CARTER
    "I am the Lord your God, and you shall take no other Gods before me?"
    O'NEILL
    (stops and makes a face)
    Okay, it's not the first one. I'm talking about the "No Killing" one. No matter what the reason, every time you break it, you take one step closer to Hanson.
    [He looks at Carter, who nods.]

    CARTER
    Thanks.
    [O'Neill hands her the bible, then goes to where the rest of SG-1 and the villagers are talking.]

    O'NEILL
    (to Jamala)
    So, you going to be all right?
    JAMALA
    Yes.
    (He shakes O'Neill's hand)
    The world outside the caves…it's very big, yes?
    DANIEL
    Yeah…it's bigger then you can imagine.
    [Daniel and Jamala shake hands. Daniel walks and to DHD and dials Earth. Carter transmits the iris code. SG-1 and Connor walk through the Gate. The natives watch them go, Jamala at their head. He looks up at the orange dome, which is now keeping his people safe.]

    Stargate SG-1 Survivor - Season 2

    Gateworld's Next Top Artist (NEW!)

    B'elanna: This ship will not survive the formation of the cosmos...

    #2
    Cold Lazarus

    SGC—GATE ROOM—NIGHT
    [O'NEILL and the ALIEN CHARLIE stand in front of the active Stargate. DANIEL, CARTER and TEAL'C are watch from the bottom of the ramp. O'NEILL walks up the ramp, stopping in front of the wormhole to look at them with a small smile.]

    O'NEILL
    Keep the lights on. I'll be back.
    [O'NEILL reaches out for the ALIEN CHARLIE'S hand. CHARLIE puts his hand in O'NEILL's and together, they walk through the wormhole.]


    The Nox

    EXT—STARGATE CLEARING—DAY

    [O'NEILL, TEAL'C, DANIEL and CARTER climb over the ridge. The Stargate is still missing.]

    TEAL'C
    This is where the Stargate should be.
    [ANTEAUS appears in front of them.]

    ANTEAUS
    We sent your enemy through the doorway.
    O'NEILL
    They'll be back.
    ANTEAUS
    When you are gone we will bury it.
    O'NEILL
    They'll come in ships next time; they'll bring an army.
    ANTEAUS
    Perhaps.
    [NAFRAYU appears next to ANTEAUS, alive and well.]

    ANTAEUS
    He wanted to wish you farewell.
    O'NEILL
    I'm glad you're okay.
    NAFRAYU
    And you. We sent your weapons back through the doorway.
    O'NEILL
    Yeah, speaking of the Stargate…
    ANTEAUS
    You fear for us, yes?
    O'NEILL
    Yes.
    ANTEAUS
    Why?
    TEAL'C
    It is our way that the strong defend the weak.
    O'NEILL
    We're afraid for you.
    ANTEAUS
    Before you go, O'Neill, there is something we would have you see.
    [ANTEAUS waves his hand. Behind them, up in the sky, a floating city appears.]

    O'NEILL
    My God.
    ANTEAUS
    Fear not.
    [Several Fenri circle the city, and the Stargate appears. There is a kawoosh, despite the lack of anyone pushing the DHD. They turn to see the Stargate, the wormhole already engaged.]

    ANTEAUS
    Maybe one day you will learn, that your way is not the only way.
    [ANTEAUS and NAFRAYU vanish. O'NEILL looks from the spot they were standing back to the floating city.]

    O'NEILL
    Why didn't he tell us about this before?
    DANIEL
    I think, in their way, they did.
    [The city vanishes.]

    TEAL'C
    It appears they possess a form of technology far greater than that of the Goa'uld.
    CARTER
    They looked so helpless…
    DANIEL
    And now they're going to bury the Stargate and we can never come back. We should've listened.
    O'NEILL
    'The very young do not always do as they're told.'
    [DANIEL, TEAL'C and CARTER stare at O'NEILL.]

    O'NEILL
    Just a little something the Nox told me one time. Something worth taking home.
    [They head into the wormhole, going home.]


    Brief Candle

    EXT—ARGOS—DAY

    [KYNTHIA helps O'NEILL walk through the village. CARTER and DANIEL are at his side, TEAL'C walking a few paces behind.]

    TEAL'C
    Our tests indicate that your body has been cleansed of the machines that plagued you.
    CARTER
    I figure the immune system must attack them if they aren't operating.
    DANIEL
    (to Kynthia)
    From now on, you and your people should age at a normal rate.
    KYNTHIA
    What about Jack?
    O'NEILL
    Me? Oh, I'll probably move to Florida, get into a little retirement home of some kind.
    CARTER
    (grinning)
    You'd look pretty out of place there at your age.
    O'NEILL
    (offended)
    Why? I look like my grandfather.
    CARTER
    'Look' is the operative word here. If our hypothesis is right, the nanocytes in your system were only meant to imitate aging. They weren't meant to start the process in a full-grown adult.
    O'NEILL
    What are you saying to me?
    CARTER
    Well, without these little buggers in your system to maintain the changes, you should return to normal within a week or two.
    KYNTHIA
    (overjoyed)
    That is wonderful news.
    [KYNTHIA helps O'NEILL sit, as his knees seem to give out abruptly.]

    O'NEILL
    I don't know. I was kinda looking forward to a little shuffleboard with the fellas.
    [CARTER and DANIEL both smile, watching O'NEILL closely. TEAL'C looks confused.]

    KYNTHIA
    (sadly)
    Then you are leaving?
    [O'NEILL looks to his teammates, letting them know he would like a moment alone with KYNTHIA. CARTER motions to the others, indicating that they should follow her.]

    KYNTHIA
    You will not be staying with me then?
    O'NEILL
    No, I won't.
    KYNTHIA
    What will happen to us now if Pelops returns?
    O'NEILL
    I don't think that's going to happen. But just in case, we'll send some folks by now and again to check up on you.
    KYNTHIA
    (hopefully)
    My heart would be glad if you were one of them.
    O'NEILL
    Sweet Kynthia, I've learned so much from you. I'll treasure every day of my life, because of you.
    [Smiling, O'NEILL reaches up and caresses her face. KYNTHIA smiles sadly.]

    KYNTHIA
    For thousands of days?
    O'NEILL
    Sure hope so.
    KYNTHIA
    (laughing)
    That is almost forever.
    O'NEILL
    Almost.
    [As his team look on, O'NEILL leans in to give KYNTHIA a kiss on the cheek. KYNTHIA smiles, and O'NEILL laughs.]


    [b]EXT—CIMMERIA'S STARGATE

    [Camera looking up at back of Hammer. O'Neill and Kendra walk around the Hammer.]

    Thor's Hammer

    KENDRA
    Now that the Hammer is lost, I'm not sure what we'll do.
    O'NEILL
    Ah, you should be all right. The Goa'uld don't know the Hammer was destroyed.
    [Everyone is standing next to the Hammer.]

    CARTER
    Seal up the cave. If they come back at least they'll be put somewhere safe.
    KENDRA
    I want to thank you for helping me have the courage to face my greatest fears.
    [She opens a pouch and takes out a rune stone.]

    KENDRA
    This is…to remember our world.
    [She gives the stone to Daniel.]

    DANIEL
    Thank you.
    TEAL'C
    We will never forget.
    CARTER
    And we'd like to come back.
    DANIEL
    Oh!
    (running to the MALP)
    I almost forgot.
    (retrieves Sagan box and hands to Kendra)
    Here. It's a gift. Actually it's for Thor, or his people in case they ever come back. It's all about our people, who we are, that we would like to be friends.
    [It thunders. They all look up.]

    KENDRA
    Thor is pleased.
    O'NEILL
    That's great. Tell him we'd love to meet him someday. In person.
    KENDRA
    (nods)
    It is safe for you to travel, you should go now.
    O'NEILL
    Daniel, you want to start dialing home. Before it starts raining?
    DANIEL
    Right.
    [Daniel goes to the DHD, O'Neill and Carter following, and starts dialing. Kendra and Teal'c look at each other for a moment. Kendra is smiling. They nod to each other. Teal'c goes to join the rest of SG-1 by the DHD. We watch SG-1 enter the wormhole from a distance on a slight hill. Several men are scattered about, watching.]


    The Torment of Tantalus

    INT—SGC GATE ROOM

    [The Stargate is revolving. From inside the control room, Daniel, Ernest, O'Neill, and Catherine look on at the coordinates for Ernest's planet are entered.]

    DAVIS
    Chevron Six encoded…Chevron Seven…will not engage.
    [O'Neill and Catherine look down disappointedly. Daniel turns away from the window and sits down dejectedly.]

    O'NEILL
    Well, I think it's safe to say the place is gone.
    ERNEST
    (hopefully, to Daniel)
    You still have my book.
    CATHERINE
    Captain Carter's working on a computer model right now.
    O'NEILL
    And here's the bright side: You're alive.
    DANIEL
    Yes.
    (to Ernest)
    Thanks to you.
    ERNEST
    Look at it this way: If you ever run into those aliens who made up the language, you can ask them what it means.
    CATHERINE
    You'd better let us know this time.
    DANIEL
    I will. I promise.
    [Ernest grabs Daniel in a sudden embrace, and Daniel laughs. O'Neill then rises out of his chair.]

    O'NEILL
    Catherine! Hug me.
    [Catherine laughs and embraces O'Neill.]

    CATHERINE
    Oh, Jack!
    [Catherine lets go of O'Neill and looks at Ernest, who's gazing back fondly at her. They embrace warmly as O'Neill and Daniel look on appreciatively.]

        Celsius, I hate to be a pain, but isn't the scene you have for Cold Lazarus supposed to be the one from Show and Tell? It would make a difference in my vote, so I'll wait for your answer. Thanks!

        Oh, and THANKS for another tournament--I didn't want to go through Tourney withdrawal....

        I am so blessed! Cherriey made this cool sig; scarimor made this great Dr. Lee smilie and Spudster made another neat one Dr. Lee RULES!

              Ooh, this is hard. I like almost all of those...even the ones that are tacked onto episodes I don't particularly like. (Plus I've only seen most of season 1 once so they're a little fuzzy.)

              I guess I'll go for:

                            D'oh! You're right--I was thinking of something else entirely!


                            Oh I'm so embarrassed!

                            Emancipation
                            The First Commandment
