S10: Critique & Contemplation

[Coco Pops]

Reminds me of Spaceballs. Where Princess Vespa is forced to leave her industrial strength hairdryer (that she "CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT!!!!') behind when they crash in a Tatooine type planet.

Oh! That's right! Spaceballs is a SPOOF! Silly, silly me. Why am I drawing comparisons between a spoof and SG-1?

I can't stand Spaceballs..... That movie just irritates me. I don't know
why. It just does

[Skydiver]

that one was completely craptacular

biggest cliche fest i've seen in a long, long time

I love it. I can make any moment relevant to Spaceballs. It's very dated now, but that's okay.

The humor can be a bit crass (and the language!) but the sly digs at all manner of sci fi and other things are hilarious.

And I love Rick Moranis.

Spaceballs? That was the whole point. But done well (not as an accident).

Tangentially on topic: Remember Felger with his Sam doll? Dark Helmet had dolls/barbies. He made the Vespa one leave Lone Star (the only man with the nerve to give in the raspberry ) because she finds his helmet...never mind. Rick Moranis did it on one take. Ad libbed.

Yeah, you need to go into it knowing it's a spoof. But it's incredibly well done.

And then we have S9/S10 - the spoof by accident.

Don't forget she just happened to have a glass cutter in her backpack
Oh it must have been right next to her hair dryer

The hair dryer takes the prize for one of the most stupid things I have seen on Sg-1. Its not even the traveling size.

Speaking of Spaceballs-there is another movie with the same name out there-however, the plot is not exactly PG

*whistles innocently because women of a certain age aren't supposed to know these things

One would think that a woman who's lived almost her entire life on planets with no electricity would be above hair dryers. Continuity? Coherence? Not in this season!

I suppose you've seen the deleted scenes for that episode? There's a hair curler. And a stuffed animal. *headdesk*

[AGateFan]

One would think the concept of no 120v plugs may keep someone from bringing a hairdryer offworld too.

Oh and was this an earth glass cutter (whered she get it, is that in the commissary?) or an alien one which is interesting since you dont actually see that much glass in Stargate... Remember when carter said the motherships windows werent actually glass, but forcefields...

So what does continuity and sense have anything to do with the price of tea in China?

If it isn't fun -it isn't worth anything.

Frankly the hair dryer thing was real quite odd-remember when they had to give up something they treasured in order to complete their quest??? and she threw in the hair dryer???? a hair dryer/???

If she got a battery powered curling iron that could be quite a weapon.

[Skydiver]

actually i was talking about bounty

spaceballs was fun..bounty was a waste of time

[Skydiver]

or a torture device
