- What are you doing? - Waiting for Chris Judge to have a seat.
Oh, boy.
We should have bounced up.
You've got your arm all by me!
- OK. So... - Are your pants undone?
- Teal'c, Carter... - Those aren't my pants.
Michael Jackson. OK. Here we go.
- So let's talk about ''Revisions.'' - Which one's that?
They're shooting three shows consecutively.
- Consecutively? - Concurrently.
- Simultaneously. - Simultaneously.
Concoctly.
That one won't go on the DVD.
Let me get an idea from each of you: when you read ''Revisions'',
what struck you differently from any other Stargate episode?
You're assuming we've read it.
Did he say ''When we read it''?
When you read it, you go ''This is just this story.'' That's all we have to focus on.
There's no backtracking that the audience or us have to do.
l like it because it's not tied into any other mythology.
- lt's a succinct, single episode. - (whispers) Stand-alone.
l think he's talking to you.
We got these images two hours ago after the MALP went through.
The dome seems to be the only thing that withstood the effects of the atmosphere.
The misty landscape, this is where it comes from.
This is the smoke master himself - Scotty.
l still got one good lung.
Come on out.
lt has no links to anything else. lt must be good to be finally departing from Anubis.
When you know they're stand-alones, do you do anything different?
l always have problems with the arcs of shows that take eight arcs,
and they're constantly referred to.
Because, truly, in the quick amount of time that l learn something,
that's usually the amount of time it takes me to forget it.
So l'm constantly going to these two: ''When we said this, what episode...?''
- ''What happens in this scene?'' - That's me. ''Why are you saying that?''
So, for me, the stand-alones are easy cos l can't remember five episodes ago.
lt's easy for Richard too. He doesn't have to remember recurring characters' names.
Ow.
Go about ten feet out, stop and talk there.
20 feet out, and stop.
- Set? - Set.
And... music.
- (whistling) - Camera.
Bong! Bong! Bong!
Bong! Bong!
Background!
(whistling and birdsong)
And cut! Very nice.
Sure.
Yeah, very nice. l like that a lot.
Then, on ''action'', Liam, you're gonna go: (heavy breathing)
- Can l have an eye pillow? - (laughter)
Liam, you can't move your head from the spot he sets it at, OK?
- OK? - Thank you.
So you're coming up on ''That's not a toy.'' Or are you coming up on ''Take it off''?
OK. Let's shoot.
Action!
Hello, Nevin.
l'm not Nevin. l'm Colonel O'Neill from Stargate Command.
All right, Colonel.
Will you please take off my hood?
Nevin, time for school. Go to your room and access your lessons.
- When l grow up, can l be an explorer? - We'll talk about it later.
lt is true that stand-alone episodes like this are much simpler
because you can just be in the moment
as opposed to having gratuitous ''Hey, remember when'' exposition,
''Previously on Stargate SG-1'', during the course of the episode that happens.
- To bring people up to speed. - So an audience member can walk into it.
There tends to be a lot more character work in a stand-alone episode.
lt's more about this episode as opposed to what happened in season four.
All the running arcs we have.
And how will this further impact later in the season.
We are costing the ''Previously on Stargate'' guy money.
Yeah. Aren't you the ''Previously on Stargate'' guy?
No. l actually asked to be paid for that, so l was quickly removed.
Previously on... Or Peter DeLuise:
''Previously on Stargate SG-1.''
Everybody, make yourself safe behind camera.
Nobody behind the MALP. Chris is probably gonna run into someone. Action!
You think this'll work?
The signal was lost only when the transmitter crossed the barrier.
We need only manoeuvre the MALP into the correct position.
lt's gonna get ugly.
Stop!
Whoa, stop!
Nice.
Wait a few beats, then Rick starts talking, into the camera.
General, we read you, loud and clear.
Loud and clear.
So far the natives are very friendly, if a bit odd, if you know what l mean.
- (woman) Make it good, Alex. - One more light, then we'll shoot.
Action!
Carter.
Pallan's trying to access the Link.
We might be able to reprogram it.
Oh! Do l dare put another console on that?
Why not?
- Hey, man! 1 4mm lens earlier on. - Then you're gonna get hosed.
This one is gonna be a little bit of a problem.
- l'll get hosed. - No, you won't.
OK, l can't.
Hosing. He's gonna get hosed.
Candy's 1 4mm lens, l'll see if l double-dress it.
- Move that one over there? Can't do it. - Action!
Got it. Legal documents. All l can say is, thank God for lawyers.
l liked it cos it has a midget in it. lt provides me with the knocks.
That's a child.
- He is? - He is. He's a child.
He eats way too much for a child.
We're trying to make it look like Carter isn't shooting this DVD.
Aaagh!
Wide-angle lens. Come on, Carter.
