StarGate Subtly Skewers Sci-Fi
By Kent Gibbons -- Multichannel News, 6/10/2007 5:19:00 PM
Friday night's (June 8) episode of Stargate SG-1, on Sci Fi Channel, scored a subtle dig at the hand that feeds the show, but that won't be feeding it for much longer.
The episode, “Family Ties,” is one of only three remaining in the space drama’s record-setting 10th and final season. It features the brilliant Fred Willard as a guest star, playing the con-man father of the character played by Claudia Black. Willard, as Jasec, has Amanda Tapping's Col. Major Carter trying to figure something out, and she's having trouble doing the calculations:
Jasec: “It’s no wonder. I don’t mind telling you, I’m a bit disappointed in this?*facility. I was expecting more.”
Carter: “Well, at times, so do we. But the truth is, the Stargate program just doesn’t get the support it used to from the people in charge.”?*
J: “Why not?”
C: (Shrugs.)
J: “That’s too bad. Because after all your Stargate program has accomplished for this network of planets, I would think the decision makers would show it the respect it deserves.”
C: “Ay, yup.”?*
