coz it is canada?
*whoosh*
Second!
Yeah thats the thing that always bothered my about Stargate SG-1 & Atlantis, but still pretty good shows
They explained that its because all the worlds were suppose to be earthlike.
Living in Nevada I can tell you given the choice I wouldn’t put one in the freakin desert.
My issue was why they always walked. Get a motorcycle.
I was thinking Argocats (similar to their ground remote control vehicles, but with 8×8 drive, amphibious, and easily capable of carrying an SG team plus all their kit).
Looking like Canada makes some sense, because the best places to put fixed ground-based wormhole terminii are the planet’s temperate zones.
Canadas a popular destination ay.
Yes but would it not seem strange that a pemperate zone would contain only evergreen type trees? A better way to justify having only a limited type of foliage in every episode would be to say that the gates were all placed in areas representing the builders floratic preferences.
Eh, not Ay… Although it is kinda sad it does have a spelling, haha. We don’t say it much in Canada anyways… well, they say it a lot in Ontario.. but nowhere else that I know of.
I never understood why ‘eh’ was considered Canadian. They say it in Ontario and Maine, from what I can tell. I live in Nova Scotia, and I only say it when I’m impersonating Bob and Doug MacKenzie.
We say it all the time in Québec.
We say it often in BC but its pretty subtle.
Likewise from Nova Scotia – the only Canadian I ever heard say
“eh” frequently was, in fact, from BC, and it kind of split the difference between cute and very irritating.
As for Stargate well, it’s like everything else on television: it looks like wherever shooting is cheap and all the handsome characters are American.
False on one account; Michael Shanks, i.e. Daniel Jackson, is Canadian.
its eh loser

I fail to see a moose.
A moose bit my sister, once.
No realli! She was Karving her initials on the møøse
with the sharpened end of an interspace tøøthbrush given
her by Svenge – her brother-in-law – an Oslo dentist and
star of many Norwegian møvies: “The Høt Hands of an Oslo
Dentist”, “Fillings of Passion”, “The Huge Mølars of Horst
Nordfink”.
Thi posters responsibil for theez messajes have been sacked…
Monty Python WIN! Those never get old.
I love all of you.
All I can say is Awesome! This makes a crappy three days a bit better.
Hunh. You should be so lucky.
OMG. Totally FTW.
This caption is dumb, it’s stating a well-know and old incoherence about the show. Nothing new, nothing original… It’s true, but not funny.
Anyway, you could also ask why they speak english on every planet they visit, but the best thing would probably be to realize that as a show it has limits, they can’t make up a new language for every episode, or waste 30 minutes of each episode to show SG-1 learnign said new language.
I prefer not to think about it at all, and it works well. Those are small incoherence, nothing that ruins the pleasure of watching.
I guess they can’t just invent “universal Translators” a-la Star Trek, eh? that did always bug me though “Look, we discovered a civilization on an alien world who are direct descendants of ancient egyptians (or other ancient culture)… and they speak perfect Americanized english! But you can tell they’re alien cause they have a slight accent ^_^!”
Yes, but alas you fail to see the point. This caption is done in the Jack O’Neill-ism style, which is to say: pointing out the obvious in an obvious situation. Thank you, and good night.
They speak American for the convenience of the viewing audience; why wouldn’t the Goa’uld impose a single lingua franca across the System Lords’ combined Empire?
Well, it is for narrative convenience.
But while it makes sense for the Goa’uld to impose a single language, the storyline of the show was that the Goa’uld (mostly) weren’t on earth from the time the Egyptian gate was covered up to the time the SG-1 team started exploring. So the common language wouldn’t have been English…
If you go back to the original film (which is canon, despite Kurt Russell), the Abydossians spoke ancient Egyptian, which was basically why they needed an Egyptologist in the party.
Well, MOSTLY ancient Egyptian, with a few variations, although I’d give kudos to the scientific advisors since most of the ancient Egyptian used in the movie is correct, and the variations are quite logical when considering a language of which written form rarely includes vowels and thus can be subject to interpretation regarding pronunciation.
For exemple, the locals exclaim “Netour ouia” when they see the eye of Ra and the most agreed pronunciation among scholars is “Neter Udjat”
That was a real asset to the movie…
I believe that in one of the early episodes that there was a reference the Stargate translating for them. One of the books explained in greater detail that one of the functions of the DHD is to get into your mind and translate for you, but since the SGC dialing computer was created by guess-and-check, it didn’t have a translator until they realized that if they went through a gate with a DHD with some alien speaking friends, at the other end they would seem to speak English. Carter, of course, was able to transfer the feature to the dialing computer. Hence 10 seasons of a non-jibberish TV show.
I believe it has to do with the Stargate. It automatically translates whatever language into one (whatever language the stargate traveler spoke) to make it easier for communication. The Ancients figured that each planet would have it’s own language that was different from their own, or their own descendants or 2nd generation humans (Us). So to make things easier… voila! Everyone speaks English.
It makes sense that they walked.
1. It’s a lot easier to explain away a gun and weird clothing than a motorized vehicle.
2. When you’re going on recon it’s NOT a good idea to go in on something that requires your attention and makes a lot of noise.
But even when they’d been somewhere, and admitted they were from another plan, then had to go back and forth to the gate a few times, they kept walking every single time ….
Because the Ancients in Canada only wanted to go to Canadian type planets.
And how come the things the gates are mounted on are always constructed so crappy compared to the actual gates.
Now *that* actually made sense. The gates themselves were constructed by the Ancients, and while they’re not indestructable, they’re pretty hard to destroy. But I don’t think there was ever any reason to make the mountings of the same material – more likely, the different platforms and mounts were supposed to look good to the locals of the time.
And if they weren’t made of durable materials, they’d have to be replaced every now and then, and for the last several thousand years that would have been done either by Jaffa or by the local villagers.
They developed that idea a fair bit in Atlantis, with the gate in the city, and the space-borne gates.
I’ve always wondered the same thing too. Every planet they visit is some sortof Canadian derivative.
lol looks like an Oblivion Gate! XD
Because…..Canada’s awesome
cuz we’re taking over the universe then comming back to claim this planet.
I like the obviousness of the caption, but the font they used seriously makes me cry inside.
It’s so bad that even the creator of said font wants it banned.
So I have heard. Hah.
The only good thing about the show is that it all looks like Canada (Canada rules!). But if they made a film that took place in the desert and had a plot, not to mention the true history of Egypt, and had Kurt Russell AND James Spader, then it would be good…
Because Canada is so effin gorgeous, all other planets want to look just like it?
And no, I’m not a a Canuck…I’m “Murcan”.
