Unnatural Selection (612)

[Anja]

Creepy and frightening because the replis are so powerful and advanced - and vicious.
But I couldn't help feeling sorry for Fifth - he was betrayed.

They didn't do motion capture. They just had Teryl (who voiced Heimdahl) walking on set with an imprint of Heimdahl on a T-shirt at the height where her head would be so the others could look down to the proper height so that when they inserted the CGI image it would look more natural.

Okay that makes sense because I was certain it wasn't done on TV back then.

Do any TV shows now use motion capture?

You only have to listen to the commentary they explain how they created Heimdahl.

That isn't an option on Netflix, but I wish it was.

I don't think so - MoCap is rather too expensive, I imagine.

Who is this addressed to? Because I listened to the commentary and they way they described what they did sure sounded like motion capture to me.

It's addressed to anyone who is interested in questions about Heimdahl - no criticism!!!

Has anyone thought of this.
The Time Dilation device was set to 10 to the 4th power (100,000) times slower than normal.
As Carter mentioned, 1 year would equal about 10,000 years (365 days * 100,000 = 99,933.6882 years)

First mentioned that he was created in the moments before the device went off and he was able to disable it.

Fifth is right next to the device. Let's say it takes him 1 minute to disable the device from his perspective. 1 minute * 100,000 is only 69.44 days.

Maybe it takes longer, 10 minutes. That's still only 1.9 years.

With my math skills... nope, not at all.

I don't want to be picky - 10 to the power of four is 10,000 not 100,000.

Guess BrknSoul's math isn't up to snuff either!

[BrknSoul]

My bad for posting at around 2am in the morning.

Accounting for 10^4 = 10,000, then;
1 year = 9 993.37 years
10 mins = 69.44 days
1 min = 6.944 days.

I don't understand why O'Neill wanted to leave the good guy behind. He could've been an ally in helping to cure the bad guys. Now he's really going to hate us for betraying him.

[jelgate]

Acceptable loss. He saw a chance to deal a blow to the Replicators so he took it. One machine is worth the risk to all the Asgards the Replicators have killed in Jack's mind

[Anja]

I think it was right not to trust that guy!

[jelgate]

At this point I'm not sure. Fifth was naïve. I don't think at this point he was malicious. Fifth was mostly a casualty of war

[Anja]

He turned out to be rather mean later!!
