Children of the Gods (101)

[Falcon Horus]

I got a 6/10 on the quiz. I have to catch up oh my Stargate trivia. . Thanks!

Not bad.

And Jelgate is indeed the master of the jigsaw realm. We are but padawans in comparison.

I just realized that I didn't do this jigsaw. 20:53 for me.

List of mistakes, shooting or continuity errors in SG-1 SEASON 1:

1x01-1x02 CHILDREN OF THE GODS
1. The shadow of the cameraman can be seen next to the card playing soldiers:

2. When Apophis and his Jaffas are leaving, the wormhole is motionless instead of flashing behind the stargate:

5. Apophis and his household was transported out from a Death glider, which was established later to carry only two people. Later they fixed this problem in the Final Cut version:

6. Apophis and Amaunet were standing in front of the stargate, but as soon as Kawalsky hits their vehicle they were behind the DHD, then again in front of the stargate in the next shot:

7. One the Jaffas has got such serpent helmets in the background, which lights were not working in spite of he was still alive:

8. When Apophis was dialing in to Abydos, the chevron 3 were lightened up on the stargate, but when the people were running away to hide chevron 3 wasn't, then it was again in the next cut:

If you are interested, I can make a series of posts about mistakes in the following episodes as well. Thank you.

It's funny the things you notice when you Rewatch.

Teal'c's change of heart is foreshadowed within the first few minutes of the episode; when the shooting starts, he uses his body to shield the female sergeant, not Apophis. It's a move that he would get away with, given that he was protecting a potential vessel for Amaunet, but I doubt that he'd have shed tears if Apophis was killed by the gunfire. That kind of little touch helps to make it more believable that he would change sides. I think that another hint that he hates what he is doing is that, when he chooses Sha're as a potential host for Amaunet, she seems to be the only one of the women who isn't looking at him. Maybe he couldn't look them in the eye and then offer them up to Amaunet. He also refers to Goa'uld technology, not magic.

There's a little early instalment weirdness too, given that Apophis wasn't subsequently shown to have female warriors in his service. Also, there's no mention of symbiotes being carried by either of the Jaffa corpses being examined, when we would later learn that it's impossible for an adult Jaffa to survive without one. They also got rid of the idea of travel through the stargate leaving a person half-frozen when they reached their destination.

RDA's Jack is so much more engaging as a character than his movie counterpart. I think that the movie character worked for a movie, but would probably have been a bit too much to take for a series. He needed the humour and warmth RDA brought to the role. His grabbing the tissue box to send a message was also a good way of showing that the character is cleverer than he lets on, and that he can think on his feet as well as think outside the box.

As a Sam/Jack shipper, it amuses me that Sam was the only member of the original SG-1 assigned to the mission over Jack's objections.

Ordinarily, I don't like it when a character is shoe-horned into the history, but I think that it really worked to have Sam as a member of the group who worked on the stargate prior to Daniel figuring out how to use it. It still baffles me that, given that they had six glyphs, they needed to puzzle out the seventh instead of just trying the others one by one until it worked. I've been operating on the assumption that this is how the AU Sams we met in Seasons One and Three opened their respective stargates. As for why she wasn't on the first mission to Abydos, my head canon is that General West wasn't prepared to risk her on a likely suicide mission.

I absolutely love the wonder on her face the first time she sees the stargate. It's one of my favourite Sam moments of the season.

Considering Daniel's background, it's lovely to see the family he found on Abydos, and so sad that he lost not only his wife but his brother-in-law to the Goa'uld.

I'm glad that Samuels didn't stay a permanent member of the SGC.

It was an amazing beginning to the show.

Yes please! Thank you!

RDA wasn't interested in playing O'Neil. He wanted the character to have more "humor" in a manner of speaking, less military rigid, so they changed him up a bit and added an second L.

Back to mistakes. Some hardcore Hungarian fans are very sensitive how they managed the dialing in the SGC. I know it was not really established in the tv show in the beginning, so these type of "mistakes" are quite common:
- how the chevrons are lightened up at the incoming wormhole : all together or one by one
- where is the Tauri symbol at outgoing wormhole (it should be at the position of chevron 7 on the top)
- which chevrons are dialed on the DHD
- is there any unique symbol on the DHD (it should be on the gate theoratically too)
- which symbols dialed on the computer program (gate addresses and glyph dialing were reused etc.)
- sometimes they say different chevron is encoded, why they show a completly different one as a movie footage
- sound effects don't follow the chevron locking or how many people entered or left the wormhole,
- the sound effects of the Jaffa guards movement on the corridors don't follow the live action footage (!)
- they frequently reused the kawoosh opening scene to be shown fron the side direction, but then the furnitures are covered, or the doors are opened or closed, or people are in the gate room
- soldiers are waiting to fire in spite of an outgoing wormhole
- active wormhole (or lightened chevrons) not necessarily has got a reflection on the window of the controller room
- active wormhole not always has got blueish lights behind the iris

So trust me, there are fans out there who could observe such things. Truly shocking, I have to tell you. I am better at discovering reused animations. So I can post a few non-dialing related shooting or continuity errors or you can find them in our database, but it will be in Hungarian. 0

But the most important is, that we are all humans and we can make mistakes.

edit. I have translated the mistakes of season 1. Enjoy!

There are quite a few reused shots at one point or another, and indeed, not all of them mesh too well with the place they've been reused. It can be quite jarring and distracting at times too.

[Platschu]

These ones are still much better than those major ones, when the stargate has got only 8 chevrons or when both side has got glyphs.... We would expect that some producer or supervisor will coordinate and check such things even if different VFX teams worked on the SG shows.

[AleksisMi]

the antarctic gate is earths gate, the gould brought the egypt gate with them etc.... they used space ships to move it for convenience to get more human slaves... and you know.... basically go visit "party" planet etc, the gould are big on parties, we just always get to see them when they are hung over after words

You would think so, wouldn't you.

For the longest time I didn't know that so when Jack mentioned the "other O'neil" with one "l" I really though it was a senseless random thing.

11.34 on the puzzle. I love the first two episodes, they transition well from the movie, and are a great set up arc.
