1
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:16,320
Excuse me! You cannot come in here.
Where's Security?

2
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,720
At ease, Doctor.
They have authorisation to be here.

3
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,800
Welcome. l'm General George Hammond.

4
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,120
- This is Doctor Janet Fraiser.
- Hello.

5
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,000
- Sir, are they Air Force?
- No, they're not, Doctor.

6
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,440
But they've been briefed
and they have authorisation to be here.

7
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:34,840
Yes, sir, but shouldn't l give them
a medical for clearance?

8
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:40,240
That won't be necessary. They're going
to view one computer file, and then leave.

9
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,040
Sir, you're gonna let them have
access to our classified files?

10
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,800
At ease, Doctor. They know
this is highly sensitive material.

11
00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,000
lf l catch them viewing
an unapproved file,...

12
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:56,920
..l'll have them transferred
to a Goa'uld-controlled world.

13
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,240
Yes, sir. lf you say so.

14
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,920
There. Now you're all set up.
l'll check on your status in a few minutes.

15
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,400
Sir, are you sure you don't
want me to monitor this procedure?

16
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,120
Let it rest, Doctor.

17
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,400
A man named John Symes approached
me. He was working for MGM.

18
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,760
l worked with John over at Paramount
during the MacGyver days.

19
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,080
John called me and said
''l want you to do this project.''

20
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,160
l said ''Well, what is it?''

21
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:59,160
He said MGM had purchased
the rights to the Stargate franchise,...

22
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,840
..that they were developing a series,
and he wanted me to be a part of it.

23
00:03:02,920 --> 00:03:04,720
CoIoneI Jack O'NeiII?

24
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,840
Retired.

25
00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:08,800
I'm Major SamueIs.

26
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,000
I'm, uh, under orders to bring you
to see GeneraI Hammond, sir.

27
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,960
- Never heard of him.
- He repIaced GeneraI West.

28
00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:19,360
He says it's important.
Has to do with the Stargate.

29
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,720
l told them ''lf we're gonna try
and get Rick involved,...

30
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,240
..then he's gonna have to have
a lot more leeway with the character'',...

31
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,520
..because l couldn't really picture
Rick playing Kurt Russell's O'Neill.

32
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:43,760
ln the feature film, Jack O'Neill,
who was suicidal in the feature film...

33
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:45,960
He was suicidal because his son...

34
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,080
..accidentally killed
himself with his own gun.

35
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,800
So we've covered the fact that the Jack
O'Neill character has had that experience.

36
00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:01,440
lt's a dark part of his past. lt helps define
why he is a funny, happy-go-lucky guy.

37
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,680
He doesn't wanna go to that dark place
where he was when we first met him.

38
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:11,720
They had to be receptive to whatever
input, character-wise, that l could bring...

39
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,520
..because, as portrayed by Mr Russell,...

40
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:20,400
..it was a little more stoic than l think
l could endure over a long period of time.

41
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,280
Where's the fanfare, GeneraI?

42
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,720
- We did kind of save the pIanet, sir.
- Again.

43
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,000
It shouId not get oId, GeneraI.

44
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,840
- Job weII done.
- Thank you, sir. It was nothing.

45
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,520
l had to make sure that
they were willing to put up with,...

46
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,640
..well, in this case endure,
my sense of humour,...

47
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,480
..and somehow infiltrate it into the
character subtly, or with a sledgehammer.

48
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,520
If we don't find a way out of this soon,
I'm gonna Iose it.

49
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
It means ''go crazy''.

50
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,760
Nuts. Insane.

51
00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:59,560
Bonzo. No Ionger in possession
of one's facuIties.

52
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,200
Three fries short of a Happy MeaI.

53
00:05:02,280 --> 00:05:03,640
Wacko!

54
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,800
O'Neill's demons...

55
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,960
..we brought from the movie
to the first season of our show.

56
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,760
That had to do with his son...

57
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:22,080
..and some emotional baggage he brought
along, with his son having killed himself.

58
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,960
''Cold Lazarus'' actually dealt with that...

59
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,880
..and confronted the problems
that he had with those memories.

60
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:36,480
From that point on, l've just had fun...

61
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,520
..doing a gradual growth process.

62
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:45,360
Your deepest pain
was not the physicaI injury I had caused.

63
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,880
Your pain comes from
an empty pIace in your heart...

64
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,160
..where CharIie once was.

65
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,760
- CharIie's gone.
- No.

66
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,400
He's in here.

67
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,080
CharIie!

68
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,920
Just as being part of a character,
and trying to be credible,...

69
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:26,520
..and still stretch it and make sure there
is that sense of lightness, of humour,...

70
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:32,920
..l put a little bit of irreverence
in the character of O'Neill.

71
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,640
lt's a lot more fun to play. l think it's
a lot more fun for an audience to watch.

72
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:43,520
lt makes it a little more credible and
humanises the character a little more.

73
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,120
Guys? This is important.

74
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,360
l believe it was our first season...

75
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:54,480
..l got to endure the rigours of a
four-and-a-half, five-hour make-up job...

76
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,600
..to age from whatever O'Neill was
to 100 years old, in stages.

77
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,080
That was a phenomenal
experience as an actor,...

78
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,160
..because l'd never been able
to really hide behind a mask,...

79
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,800
..a mask that almost
made me indistinguishable.

80
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,920
That, as an actor, got my attention.

81
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:18,000
TeII me. WiII you Iive the rest
of your days without making Iove?

82
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,080
Oh, God, I hope not!

83
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,520
We'd probabIy just pass out.

84
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,720
lf you ever want an actor to show up on
time, know his lines, not screw around:

85
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,240
make him an executive producer.

86
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,040
He'll show up.
Make him responsible to the budget.

87
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,000
Just so you know - this is
a completely staged, impromptu meeting.

88
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,800
A rehearsal for some ad-lib.

89
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,160
Everybody looks serious, don't they?

90
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:58,880
l do have to walk the line a bit, because
l know what we need to get, filmically,...

91
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,480
..to be able to edit and to tell the story.

92
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,400
Special effects on video.

93
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,320
So l have to rein in a bit.

94
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:11,920
He's so great to work with because you
know that all your beats are gonna get in.

95
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,560
And you know that he's gonna
bring more to the show.

96
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,680
He'll take a scene and it will
always be better than you envisioned.

97
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,600
Hey!

98
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,920
- What the heII do you think you're doing?
- The same thing you do... onIy better.

99
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,960
- What does that mean?
- Better?.

100
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,560
It means bet-ter.

101
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,520
Stronger. Faster.

102
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,800
Sirs!

103
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:46,480
As much as I'd Iike to see this pIay out,
we have something more important to do.

104
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,080
You feel lucky that you
have someone like Rick,...

105
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,760
..and people who we've
been able to both cast and hire,...

106
00:08:55,880 --> 00:09:01,040
..that raise the bar, qualitatively,
from the page to the screen.

107
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:15,240
l remember hearing that
you have to dumb down material...

108
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,120
..to meet the mainstay of the audience,...

109
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:24,400
..which l thought was one of the more
offensive things l'd ever heard,...

110
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,480
..the reflection about mankind in general.

111
00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:32,080
AImost there, sir. This time of year
the direct Iine between P2X-555...

112
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,480
..and the Earth takes us
within 70,000 miIes of the sun.

113
00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:39,880
I'm updating the drift caIcuIation to
incIude gravitationaI space/time warping.

114
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,120
We know that! Let's go.

115
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:48,080
That's ludicrous. Give us all
the benefit of the doubt, if nothing else,...

116
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,840
..but certainly give us
some credit for being intelligent beings.

117
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,320
CouId this beam be a means
to access the gate's subspace fieId...

118
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:00,960
..in order to create some kind of
time inversion outside of subspace?

119
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,480
I knew you were gonna say that.

120
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,240
There is intelligence in humour.

121
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,240
Bring it up and maybe
sow the seeds of a grander idea...

122
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:17,680
..by speaking in a more lofty way,
or about loftier ideas.

123
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,760
Don't dumb it down
so a cow could understand it.

124
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,000
That's not me.

125
00:10:25,560 --> 00:10:27,360
Carter!

126
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:29,920
Sir. Hi.

127
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,240
What are you doin'?

128
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,880
I'm getting ready to anaIyse the decay
rate of naqahdah within the reactor.

129
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:40,800
Agh!

130
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,560
- I'm on vacation.
- Yes, sir.

131
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,640
l learned a lot from Rick.

132
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,920
He has a saying... We'll be talking
about something in a meeting.

133
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,560
l don't remember what
we were talking about,...

134
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:58,080
..but the first time he said it,
he said ''LTS''.

135
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:02,560
Life's too short. lf it's not fun,
it's not worth doing any more.

136
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,400
Write that down, someone.

137
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,640
His philosophy is he's not
gonna do it if it's gonna be painful.

138
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,880
He wants the set to be
a pleasurable place.

139
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,720
He wants everybody to be
comfortable and happy.

140
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:17,560
lf everything's gonna be miserable,
let's not do it.

141
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,040
l think that's a great attitude. l love that.

142
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,960
He's just a genuine guy.
There's no ego about him, no bravado,...

143
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,080
..and there's so much opportunity
for there to be that.

144
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,800
I suppose you expect my maIe bravado
to kick in right about now.

145
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,320
- I've read your fiIe.
- No mention of bravado, eh?

146
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:38,160
He's got a goofy sense of humour.
Sometimes he's like an eight-year-old.

147
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,720
Captain James TKirk
of the Starship Enterprise.

148
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:47,640
l enjoy the look on Rick's face any time
there's a lot of explosions or gunfire.

149
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,600
He turns into this 1 4-year-old.

150
00:11:50,680 --> 00:11:52,160
Jack of the Windy City.

151
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,640
Sometimes he's like a 16-year-old.

152
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,160
Afternoon, ma'am. I'm Mr Starsky.

153
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,760
This is... Hutch.

154
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,080
l've never seen him really get beyond 18.

155
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,160
I'II be honest with you, Bob.

156
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,960
My name's not Kirk.

157
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,400
It's SkywaIker. Luke SkywaIker.

158
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:18,320
This is a little aside here, but...
l saw him for the first time this season...

159
00:12:18,560 --> 00:12:21,120
We'd been away on hiatus
for three months.

160
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,120
l was coming round the parking lot,
and l saw him.

161
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,440
And l forgot how damn handsome he is.

162
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:29,480
l was disarmed,
which surprised me after four years,...

163
00:12:29,560 --> 00:12:34,480
..that l could turn a corner and go
''Oh, yeah. l work with him. Lucky me!''

164

170
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:59,800
lf things are well-oiled, as they are around
here, then it's a joy to come to work.

171
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:02,760
And it's a great venue to tell good stories.

able to get what you needed.

Sir, please,

Doctor.
