00:00:20,527 --> 00:00:23,439
(Peter) This episode
is entitled ''Memento''.

2
00:00:23,527 --> 00:00:28,078
And we find ourself on
the Prometheus ship once again,

3
00:00:28,167 --> 00:00:33,764
and we're taking it
for its shakedown cruise.

4
00:00:35,927 --> 00:00:41,638
And we have a bit of a breakdown

5
00:00:41,727 --> 00:00:48,280
and we find ourself in space
with no way of getting back.

6
00:00:48,367 --> 00:00:55,921
So we have to go to a nearby planet,
where we are required to find a Stargate,

7
00:00:56,007 --> 00:00:58,441
otherwise we're really stuck.

8
00:00:58,887 --> 00:01:00,479
This is a star field.

9
00:01:00,567 --> 00:01:08,360
lt's nothing but a giant black curtain
with little, tiny reflective flecks on it.

10
00:01:11,967 --> 00:01:13,764
And...

11
00:01:16,087 --> 00:01:23,323
See this? lt's just nothing more than
a little piece of tinfoil. lt picks up the light.

12
00:01:23,407 --> 00:01:28,356
And this star-field curtain
is hung from the rafters

13
00:01:28,447 --> 00:01:31,996
and it is right outside
the window of the bridge set,

14
00:01:32,087 --> 00:01:35,284
so when we look out the window
you see...

15
00:01:36,807 --> 00:01:39,002
the star field!

16
00:01:39,087 --> 00:01:44,161
And when it's lit properly
it looks just like outer space.

17
00:01:44,247 --> 00:01:45,726
That's good news.

18
00:01:45,807 --> 00:01:51,564
And if you give it a bit of a shake,
you get the twinkling effect.

19
00:01:51,647 --> 00:01:52,966
Nice job.

20
00:01:53,047 --> 00:01:56,357
So, here's the star field outside.

21
00:01:56,447 --> 00:01:59,883
Usually that would be
a little more out of focus

22
00:01:59,967 --> 00:02:03,926
and you wouldn't be able to see
the curtain element.

23
00:02:04,007 --> 00:02:06,202
l think if we...

24
00:02:06,287 --> 00:02:10,200
There's maybe what it would look like,
if l'm using this right.

25
00:02:10,287 --> 00:02:13,882
l'm not required to know how this works.
l only tell people what to do.

26
00:02:13,967 --> 00:02:16,242
l've been meaning
to talk to you about that.

27
00:02:16,327 --> 00:02:21,355
So here we have an example of a scope.

28
00:02:21,447 --> 00:02:27,602
And l don't think people will
appreciate this if l do this,

29
00:02:27,687 --> 00:02:31,726
but the public at large needs to know

30
00:02:31,807 --> 00:02:37,484
that there's a regular computer in there
behind this faceplate.

31
00:02:37,567 --> 00:02:44,757
And this cutout right here
just goes over it

32
00:02:44,847 --> 00:02:48,123
and everybody goes ''That looks normal.''

33
00:02:48,207 --> 00:02:51,961
That's what it looks like
underneath that faceplate.

34
00:02:59,487 --> 00:03:01,796
(alarm)

35
00:03:03,847 --> 00:03:06,645
This looks cool
when you look at it this way.

36
00:03:06,727 --> 00:03:08,683
lf that's what you wanna call it.

37
00:03:10,127 --> 00:03:14,723
Now, you might see a shot out this way,

38
00:03:14,807 --> 00:03:18,959
where we're looking out into the star field.

39
00:03:21,887 --> 00:03:24,037
The fans'll get a kick out of this.

40
00:03:24,127 --> 00:03:29,485
We have a ring room, like a transporter
room from another famous sci-fi show.

41
00:03:29,567 --> 00:03:36,803
And we've incorporated this
push-button concept from the cargo ship

42
00:03:36,887 --> 00:03:41,324
into the inner workings of our ship.

43
00:03:41,407 --> 00:03:46,606
And we have hieroglyphs for buttons here.

44
00:03:46,687 --> 00:03:53,081
And then we have the equivalent
of what those things mean here.

45
00:03:53,167 --> 00:04:00,403
So l thought that was kind of fun.
How you push which keys in what order.

46
00:04:11,567 --> 00:04:17,642
A lot of times you'll see doors
opening and closing on the show.

47
00:04:17,727 --> 00:04:26,157
And that is a result of
a lot of time and effort.

48
00:04:26,247 --> 00:04:31,037
So this is a door that opens and closes.

49
00:04:33,007 --> 00:04:35,601
Let me get a better shot of that.

50
00:04:37,487 --> 00:04:40,047
Opens.

51
00:04:40,127 --> 00:04:42,118
And closes.

52
00:04:42,207 --> 00:04:51,798
How that is achieved is someone off
in the wings holds this low-tech handle

53
00:04:51,887 --> 00:04:55,277
and pushes the door in.

54
00:04:57,127 --> 00:05:01,598
Usually a college graduate
is required to push this handle.

55
00:05:08,367 --> 00:05:16,285
And we would probably do something like
go into this elevator, like so,

56
00:05:16,367 --> 00:05:22,124
pretend to push the little button,
close the foreground doors,

57
00:05:22,207 --> 00:05:24,198
these doors,

58
00:05:24,287 --> 00:05:31,363
and beyond that, in this area,
the blast door would be down or up

59
00:05:31,447 --> 00:05:35,440
while we were blinded by the fact
that these foreground doors would close.

60
00:05:35,527 --> 00:05:37,802
Then when we reopen these doors,

61
00:05:37,887 --> 00:05:43,803
maybe the blast door is now down or up,
and we appear to be on a different floor.

62
00:05:46,127 --> 00:05:47,924
Jack.

63
00:05:51,247 --> 00:05:53,602
You've got a fine crew here, Ronson.

64
00:05:53,687 --> 00:05:57,441
- You've got a pretty solid team yourself.
- Speaking of that...

65
00:05:57,527 --> 00:06:02,317
Jack, l know that in the event
of a real situation with the Goa'uld,

66
00:06:02,407 --> 00:06:04,398
you feel your place is on the bridge.

67
00:06:04,487 --> 00:06:08,526
You'd be a fool not to take advantage
of Teal'c's expertise.

68
00:06:08,607 --> 00:06:13,806
You're absolutely right, but you're
just along for the shakedown cruise.

69
00:06:14,367 --> 00:06:19,566
This is lngrid Kavelaars
playing Major Erin Gant, the Ex-O.

70
00:06:19,647 --> 00:06:23,322
What was your hardest line
to say on this show?

71
00:06:23,407 --> 00:06:29,118
Hardest line would be ''Electromagnetic
pulse has hit the shields, sir.''

72
00:06:29,207 --> 00:06:32,961
''Primary computer systems are down.
All we have is artificial gravity.''

73
00:06:33,047 --> 00:06:35,880
Why can l say it now
and couldn't say it yesterday?

74
00:06:35,967 --> 00:06:38,037
l've asked the same question.

75
00:06:38,127 --> 00:06:40,925
Or when l did have to say it,
l broke out in a sweat.

76
00:06:41,007 --> 00:06:42,963
An electromagnetic pulse hit the shields.

77
00:06:43,047 --> 00:06:47,040
Primary computer systems are down.
All we have is artificial gravity.

78
00:06:47,127 --> 00:06:50,244
- ls it wonderful working with Richard?
- Absolutely.

79
00:06:50,327 --> 00:06:53,797
ls he the biggest flirt ever, or what?

80
00:06:53,887 --> 00:06:56,685
Or you're not allowed to say?
Sworn to secrecy.

81
00:06:56,767 --> 00:06:58,166
No comment.

82
00:06:58,247 --> 00:07:00,556
l guess l can respect that.

83
00:07:00,647 --> 00:07:04,879
What's it like working
with Amanda Tapping?

84
00:07:04,967 --> 00:07:07,845
She's really cool, and she's hot.

85
00:07:07,927 --> 00:07:09,918
Who's your favourite guest star?

86
00:07:10,007 --> 00:07:16,037
l like to think of all of the guest stars
as my children who l all love equally.

87
00:07:16,127 --> 00:07:21,121
The ones who remember their lines.
Those are the ones l really like.

88
00:07:21,967 --> 00:07:28,566
When you see this show, you'll most likely
see a shot that resembles this.

89
00:07:30,287 --> 00:07:32,642
l'm gonna start here.

90
00:07:32,727 --> 00:07:35,605
This is what l call
the ''obligatory library shot'',

91
00:07:35,687 --> 00:07:39,885
where you go through
bookshelves, like this.

92
00:07:39,967 --> 00:07:42,356
Bookshelves, bookshelves.

93
00:07:45,167 --> 00:07:49,558
By doing that, we give the illusion
that there's a lot of stuff here.

94
00:07:57,887 --> 00:08:04,235
We find our two characters
dealing with an alien computer.

95
00:08:04,327 --> 00:08:11,119
These would be the same as floppy discs
and that would be the personal computer

96
00:08:11,207 --> 00:08:15,439
with the very cleverly made
Sanskrit keyboard.

97
00:08:16,247 --> 00:08:21,605
This is a typical... instrument.

98
00:08:21,687 --> 00:08:24,042
An over-the-shoulder insert.

99
00:08:24,127 --> 00:08:30,760
This particular shot is a shot of O'Neill,
over O'Neill onto a monitor.

100
00:08:30,847 --> 00:08:34,283
Here is Richard Dean Anderson
talking to...

101
00:08:34,367 --> 00:08:36,358
You're not Richard Dean Anderson.

102
00:08:36,447 --> 00:08:40,326
You're Bill Nikolai,
the sometimes technician on the show.

103
00:08:40,407 --> 00:08:42,204
A long time ago, a technician.

104
00:08:42,287 --> 00:08:46,678
They're gonna do a shot
over Bill onto the screen

105
00:08:46,767 --> 00:08:52,524
because Bill's figure looks exactly like
Richard Dean Anderson's.

106
00:08:52,607 --> 00:08:58,398
For fans at home - sorry to be in
your face here, Andy - this is a com-link.

107
00:08:58,487 --> 00:09:04,642
Of course, Hammond is talking to Richard,
or O'Neill, rather.

108
00:09:04,727 --> 00:09:10,040
And this guy is Damian Kindler,
who is the writer of this episode.

109
00:09:10,127 --> 00:09:14,359
- That'll be this guy?
- That's right.

110
00:09:14,447 --> 00:09:18,918
We twisted his arm
and we forced him to be in this shot.

111
00:09:26,927 --> 00:09:28,326
And action!

112
00:09:28,407 --> 00:09:33,879
SG-1 has valuable experience with both
hyperspace travel and the ''Prometheus''.

113
00:09:33,967 --> 00:09:40,440
Besides, your mission to P7X-009
shouldn't take more than a few hours.

114
00:09:40,527 --> 00:09:43,678
General Greer and l
just want you there for the shakedown.

115
00:09:43,767 --> 00:09:48,079
- ln the unlikely event of an emergency?
- Something like that.

116
00:09:48,167 --> 00:09:50,965
Enjoy the ride, Colonel. Hammond out.

117
00:09:51,047 --> 00:09:53,038
(Peter) Cut.

118
00:10:03,727 --> 00:10:05,718
ENHOH
