I'm to bring you to see General Hammond, sir.
- Never heard of him. - He repIaced General West.
He says it's important.
It has to do with the Stargate.
The truth: there is a top-secret government programme...
- ..called Project Stargate. - I knew it!
But it has nothing to do with space travel.
- What does it have to do with? - Magnets.
One reason Stargate is so popular is because...
lt's a giant sphincter that kind of opens you out to the universe.
SG-1 doesn't take itself very seriously.
You guys all kinda Iook...
Thor's not here, right?
They're in life-and-death situations, and they still keep this sense of humour.
Rick brings a lot of his sensibilities and sense of humour to the role.
In the middle of my backswing?!
His O'Neill is way different than Kurt Russell's O'Neill.
First of all, l couldn't do what Kurt, um... What's his last name?
- But it had to be, because... - My hair doesn't do that.
The natural sense of humour that Richard Dean Anderson has...
..has now infected the whole show.
Why look at me like I'm an idiot? Why are you even on set? Go write something.
Like ''Wormhole X-Treme!'', our 100th episode,...
I wanted to call the show ''Going to Other Planets'',...
..but research says that shows with ''X'' in the name get higher ratings.
..will wholeheartedly embrace the humour.
Why aren't the aliens ever in camouflage?
No. Look at my lips. Big-ger.
When you've got people like Rick and Michael, and Brad Wright,...
..John Smith, running the ship, it's gonna be a good ship.
As a studio, we feel,...
..especially being as far away physically from the production as we are,...
..to know it's in the hands of Brad, and Michael Greenberg,...
..and Robert and those really talented producers,...
..we feel very comfortable that we're being looked after, and we are.
Captain Samantha Carter reporting, sir.
But of course you go by ''Sam''.
Don't worry, Major. I pIayed with dolls when I was a kid.
To date, it continues to be a very well received show.
lt's a combination that just, you know, can't fail.
Your face was painted grey
But, baby, it's a shame to say
I've missed you
lf you have a good story, and you have good casting, and you execute it,...
..you're gonna have a good show.
I'm not afraid
I'm just a dreamer
This crew likes coming to work here. This cast likes coming to work here.
lt's fun.
Take me to another place before these pictures fade away
Don't wake me
Peter DeLuise was an actor, long-running TV show. He never listened to producers.
He became a director so he wouldn't have to listen to producers.
lt's not true. l just do this job to get chicks anyway.
I'm just a dreamer
The SG-1 team is kind of like a little family.
Something in the way you move
A twist of fate that lights the room
You're near now
lt's like the guys are our big brothers, and brothers and sisters squabble, but...
- I get this weird feeIing near Teal'c. - Hey, who doesn't?
We must hold hands, O'Neill.
I know.
You feel lucky that you have someone like Rick...
..and people who we've been able to find and both cast and hire...
..that raise the bar.
I'm just a dreamer
- Cool special effect. - l've seen better.
- Ah, we'll fix it in post. - Yeah.
- So, do you think we'll get 18 in? - Yeah, if we cut back on the mulligans.
- Do you think that's cool? - Yeah, it's good enough for a walkaway.
When's a good time to fade out?
Oh, round about...
..now.
Try as we may, we can't fail.
