I was watching sg1 season 10, 'endgame' and I couldn't help but chuckle as the warehouse that 'the trust' took Daniel as a prisoner was the same warehouse as the one Valla was taken to as a prisoner in 'memento mori' season 1.
And it is the same warehouse that sg1 used for so many shoots, It reminded me of something I heard on an audio commentary about the sand lot they used to film all the Abydos episodes and all the sand planet based episodes, was the same lot just out back of the studio.
The lot was getting smaller and smaller with less sand to shoot around or the go to footage of the two guards outside cheyenne mountain, racing each other to the oppostie curb, or the BIG door closing during an emergency etc.and it all got me to thinking.
If sgu reused the same backdrops as they had in previous shows they would have been slaughtered.
maybe the key to sg1's success was that it didn't invest to much (as it couldn't) money into itself and it had that air of familiarity that made it so awesome.
For the money it had at the time, sg1 had no right to become so popular but it did!!!
Maybe that was it's secret to success, who knows.
But it constantly amazes me that the franchise became what it did, and the shows continually evolved with the times
I suppose the point of this post is just an all round Hat tip to the people behind stargate.
They kept it fresh and familiar, With a satirical sense of humour that is unknown in todays t.v.
That;s it really....erm, thank you stargate... and all the SGU guys
