David:
Hello everyone and welcome to episode 286 of Dial the Gate: The Stargate Oral History Project. My name is David Read, I appreciate you being here with me today. Stargate, the feature film, turns 30 tomorrow and in celebration here on Dial the Gate, I have brought together a few wonderful folks that I am thrilled to share with you now. Hello, panelists and thank you so much for joining me today. Hello, guys. I am privileged to call this man my friend, Mr. Tom McBeath, Harry Maybourne, also Arkhan I, his official title. Thank you so much, sir, for joining us for this episode. How are you?

Tom:
My pleasure. For an old guy, I’m 120%.

David:
Tom is gonna be giving the questions today. We’ve got about 25 questions, about five rounds prepared for you. We may not get to all of them, but everyone onboard is gonna be participating. Linda, “Gate Gabber” Fury, my producer, is actually gonna be keeping score for everybody. How are you, Linda?

Linda:
I’m good. How many points am I giving people per question?

David:
Two.

Linda:
Two points, got it.

David:
As grand overseer of all of this, if it’s a really difficult question and they get part of it right, I wanna be able to say that they get one point. Does everyone agree that that’s fair?

Nicole:
Yeah.

Allan:
That’s fine.

Tom:
I think if it’s a really interesting answer, they should get one point as well.

Jeff:
Very creative.

David:
Tom, I will give you permission over that. Like I said in your email, Tom, if there’s anything that spurs the memory, bring us all to a grinding halt and tell us the story, because we’re here to be with you as well.

Tom:
I will.

Linda:
I’m sad this isn’t like a Maybourne, King Arkhan I, questionnaire.

Tom:
Don’t count on too much inspiration from me. I’m a pretty dull old guy.

David:
That’s not true.

Linda:
No, you’re not.

David:
All right. Never.

Nicole:
No self-deprecation coming from you, Tom.

David:
Everyone has been paired into groups. You are thusly Jeremy and Sonja, Sommer and Allan, Reetou Charlie, Jeff Gulka, and Marcia Middleton, Harris and Retro Badger. Nicole Rodriguez-Scaldo and Frederick Marcoux.

Jeff:
Boo.

Nicole:
I get Fred. Yay.

David:
You do, absolutely.

Linda:
I’m not Fred yet. This is exciting.

David:
Jeremy Heiner, how are you, sir?

Jeremy:
I am well. How are you?

David:
All things are well in this corner of the world. Great to have you back.

Jeremy:
Hey, Tom, I didn’t get to say hi earlier, but I’m Jeremy.

Tom:
Hi, Jeremy.

David:
Loved your character. You played a great villain and I’m happy that you’re here today.

Tom:
Wow. Thank you.

David:
Absolutely. Sonja Melonkoff of Nerdy Novelty Designs, welcome back.

Sonja:
Thank you. Hi.

David:
How are you?

Sonja:
It’s been so long. I saw you at L.A. Comicon.

David:
I know. I know. It’s been a wild year for cons…

Sonja:
It’s not just me. Spock’s here too. Say hi.

David:
Got a few cats in the room here, a couple of dogs, but the dogs aren’t gonna be as intrusive… hopefully. Sommer Roy, how are you?

Sommer:
Nice.

David:
How was the con?

Sommer:
It was really great. I got to see a lot of great people yesterday. Got to talk with Richard Dean Anderson. Ben Browder. Sorry, I’m so tired. I met him.

David:
Lexa Doig. Yup.

Linda:
Lexa and Carol Roth and let’s see. I’m missing somebody. Oh, Michael Shanks.

David:
Where was that? Was it in Austin?

Marcia:
It was in San Antonio at SpaceCon.

David:
San Antonio. OK, perfect, very good. Hello from down under. Allan Gowen representing the Aussies today, by himself.

Allan:
David, I’m well. I’m still waking up at 6:00 AM so it’s not as bad as what it’s been in the past for the competitions. I’m doing well and it’s great to see everyone again. It’s been way too long between videos to catch up with everyone.

David:
I know, I appreciate you guys making the time all the same. Reetou Charlie himself, Jeff Gulka, is joining us. How are you, Jeff?

Jeff:
Fantastic, thank you, thank you. How are you?

David:
I am well. Just so you know, you are the square directly above Nicole, so if you wanna beat on her head, be my guest. Thanks for being here. Marcia Middleton. Hello, how are you?

Marcia:
Hi, I am fine. This is my pet. This is Mimsy and Mimsy is Stargating, see? This is actually a keychain from Stargate the movie.

David:
Really?

Allan:
Nice.

Marcia:
And I added my own chain.

Retro Badger:
Wow.

Marcia:
He’s my buddy.

David:
That’s very cool. Aw, welcome to Mimsy. Harris McGrade of SciTrek. Welcome, sir. How are you?

Harris:
Doing well. Howdy, howdy. I also didn’t get to say hi a second ago. Tom, nice to meet you. Nice to see you.

Tom:
Nice to meet you.

Harris:
Super excited.

David:
Absolutely.

Tom:
Me too.

David:
Retro Badger himself, Badger from the UK, from the Retro Badger Gaming channel on YouTube. He blows up starships and usually he avoids getting himself blown up.

Retro Badger:
I do for a living. Yes. I’m doing well, thanks. I cannot believe it’s been 30 years since the movie came out. It’s like, “Where’s the time gone?” I can’t believe I’m in a quiz with Tom McBeath and Reetou Charlie. It feels like a dream, this. It’s like some real dream.

Jeff:
It’s a dream.

David:
“It’s a dream.” We’re glad to have you back, man.

Retro Badger:
Thank you.

David:
Nicole Rodriguez Galdo of Wormhole X-Tremists, welcome, Nicole.

Jeff:
Boo.

Nicole:
Hello, hello. Did you boo me, Jeff? Jeff’s my best friend now. We spend so much time together.

Jeff:
Ditto.

Nicole:
The trivia pressure’s gonna be on because we tend to compete really aggressively for Trivipu.

David:
He has to compete aggressively to keep up with you.

Nicole:
You should see how aggressive it gets in the last rounds of Trivial Pursuit. It’s bad.

Jeff:
I let her win yesterday to build her confidence.

Nicole:
You did not. No.

Jeff:
So I can tear it down today.

Nicole:
Whatever. I wanna say as well, Yvie, she’s missing today.

David:
She is.

Nicole:
Having fun. Hope she’s having a good time.

David:
Absolutely. Frederick Marcoux, my webmaster. Welcome back, sir. How you doing?

Frederick:
I’m doing pretty good, and you guys?

David:
All is good down here. Are you getting ready for winter?

Frederick:
I think so. I’m teamed with Nicole, so we probably have that in the bag.

David:
All right; there you go. All right, Tom. So, this is your first game of trivia, so this is how it works. For the folks out there who have not seen one before, because we wanna keep things moving along a little bit, I pair people now into groups. So you’re gonna have Jeremy and Sonja, who are represented in the top left here, followed by, of course, Sommer and Allan, Jeff and Marcia, Harris and Badger, Nicole and Frederick. Linda over here is gonna be my scorekeeper as well. We’ve got the questions listed on our end, Tom. We’re gonna go through them by rounds and then at the end of each round we will assess the score. Two points possible for each question and that’s what we’ve got there. Does anyone have any questions about this process? Have I missed anything?

Sonja:
No, I wanna say to Jeremy, I apologize, ’cause I’m really bad at trivia…

Jeremy:
It’s all good.

David:
All right, guys. I used ChatGPT to randomize you and then used it as well to organize the questions so that you won’t be getting a question that you created, because everyone in this group has submitted questions. A couple of the questions were identical, certain candy bars and such. If you wanna bring up that “I also submitted that question,” you may do so. It’s all right.

Nicole:
I deliberately didn’t ’cause I knew everyone else was gonna pick it, so I didn’t.

David:
Jeez. All right, Tom. Round one. Go ahead and announce who the question is from and I’ll say round one, we’re gonna first start off with Jeremy and Sonja.

Tom:
Yes, that’s correct.

Jeremy:
Sweet.

Tom:
This is a question from Sommer. Where were the exterior desert scenes filmed?

Jeremy:
Ooh, I know this one.

Sonja:
OK, good, because I don’t know filming locations.

Jeremy:
That’s actually one question I asked, so it’s in Yuma, Arizona.

David:
All right. Do you remember what month?

Jeremy:
I do not.

David:
Sommer?

Jeremy:
I will say Yuma is an hour and a half or a couple of hours from where I live.

David:
Absolutely. Sommer, what month was it?

Sommer:
It was in June.

David:
You told me July.

Sommer:
Excuse me, July.

Allan:
It was in the off season, so they didn’t have all the dune buggies on the…

Sommer:
Yes, it was July.

David:
‘Cause it’s so darn hot.

Jeremy:
That would’ve been probably 110 to 115 degrees Fahrenheit.

Sonja:
Gross.

David:
All right, Linda. Two questions, two points for ’em.

Linda:
All righty.

David:
All right. The next question is going to Sommer and Allan.

Allan:
Let’s go.

Tom:
OK, this question is from Nicole. What was the project name for the Stargate Programme in the film?

Allan:
I know this one, Sommer.

Sommer:
I’m gonna let you have it, Allan. Go for it.

Allan:
It’s Project Geiser.

Tom:
Mm-mm. That’s correct.

David:
There we go.

Allan:
You can’t get me, Nic.

Nicole:
No. I never knew it until I watched the movie and I looked on the screen in the background, so that was a fun surprise.

David:
There’s a couple of details, for sure, that are harder to tell. But if you’re really paying attention, you can definitely see them. Jeff and Marcia, your question is next.

Tom:
This question is also from Nicole. According to the film, what mountain plays the setting for the underground facility?

Sonja:
I know this one.

Jeff:
I think I remember ’cause I just watched it yesterday and I was like, “Hey, that’s not the same place.” I believe it was…

David:
Marcia? You wanna check with each other before you give the answer.

Marcia:
How do we check with each other without other people listening?

David:
Because you guys are the ones who are…

Nicole:
Doesn’t impact us.

Sommer:
Pretend we’re not here.

Marcia:
We watched it yesterday and I had this in my brain and then it flew out.

Jeff:
OK. I think it was a Creek Mountain. Does that sound right?

Marcia:
That’s right.

Jeff:
OK, that’s final answer.

Marcia:
Final answer.

Tom:
That’s a good one.

David:
That’s right.

Jeff:
Is it right?

David:
That’s it.

Jeff:
Hey.

Sonja:
We were all like, “Wait a second.”

David:
Harris and Badger.

Tom:
OK, question number four. This is from Jeremy. According to the monitors inside the complex, where has the Stargate achieved a target lock? The location. Where has it achieved a target lock?

Harris:
I wanna say Abydos, but I know that’s not…

Retro Badger:
That’s too easy, isn’t it?

David:
That’s technically correct, but the beam has locked somewhere blank.

Retro Badger:
I know it was in… It was in another galaxy. I can’t quite remember.

Harris:
I don’t know if it was another galaxy.

Retro Badger:
It was Abydos the planet, of course, but it was on the other side of the known universe.

Harris:
I don’t know.

Retro Badger:
I would have to say Abydos. That’s all I can think of.

Harris:
Abydos, final answer.

Allan:
Do you mind us stealing these points?

Nicole:
Is there an opportunity to steal?

David:
Would you guys like the opportunity to steal?

Marcia:
No.

David:
Are you looking for the name of the galaxy?

Nicole:
Yeah.

Allan:
Yeah.

Nicole:
But who’s stealing ’cause usually we follow up with whoever’s after.

Sommer:
I would love to steal that ’cause I know that…

David:
For this episode, I’m not gonna allow stealing because I’ve been very precise in allotting the questions for everybody. I will allow Nicole, if you would like to answer it, I will let you answer it, but you’re not gonna get a point for it.

Nicole:
That’s fine. It was the Kalium Galaxy, wasn’t it?

David:
That’s it.

Linda:
Do they get one point for Abydos?

David:
I was looking for the…

Marcia:
No. Abydos was the name of the…

David:
It wasn’t named in the film. That’s correct, Marcia. I’m looking for the Kalium Galaxy.

Harris:
Next round, we got it.

David:
That’s it. You got four more to go. All right. Nicole and Frederick, the next question is to you guys.

Nicole:
God.

David:
All right.

Tom:
This is a question from Sommer. Who tried to sue the original Stargate movie for $140 million and why?

Nicole:
I never realized we were doing facts from outside the movie.

Frederick:
I never even heard about that.

Nicole:
I want it noted I wasn’t even born, so I wanna throw the age card in.

David:
There are a couple of harder ones thrown in…

Nicole:
This is a very mean one. It said someone tried to sue them for it?

David:
Yep.

Frederick:
Was it a member of the cast or the crew?

Nicole:
I don’t think they can give us clues

Tom:
It was a lawsuit filed in 1996 which claimed the movie was based off a script he had written and had submitted to Fox in 1984 called Egypt Scape.

Retro Badger:
Wow.

Nicole:
I’m gonna assume it’s some sort of writer/director from that kind of era. I don’t know who it would be. The only guess I can make is potentially the guy who did the original Battlestar, but I don’t know what his name is. That would be my only guess.

Frederick:
I don’t know either.

David:
Frederick.

Frederick:
I don’t know either. I didn’t even hear about that story.

David:
Fair point, guys. All right. Tom, who is it?

Tom:
The guy’s name was Omar Zuhdi.

Linda:
Wow.

Sommer:
He actually settled outta court too for $50,000

Marcia:
Glad we didn’t get that question, man.

David:
The case ended up being settled out of court in 1997 for $50,000.

Tom:
He was asking for 140 million.

Nicole:
That’s a lot of money.

Jeff:
50,000, deal.

Tom:
His last name is spelt Z-U-H-D-I, Zuhdi.

Nicole:
I’m gonna go research this guy in anger now that I’ve got this question not right.

Linda:
Where’s my pen?

David:
Jeez.

Nicole:
I’m bitter now. Sommer?

Sommer:
Yes.

Nicole:
I’m really bitter with you for picking location stuff and I get the location question. Sorry, not location.

Sommer:
I’m sorry.

Nicole:
I get the out-of-film question. You’re a monster.

David:
Wah, wah, wah.

Jeff:
She’s unraveling already.

David:
All right. Linda, where are we at? That was round one.

Linda:
Jeremy and Sonja, Sommer and Allan, and Jeff and Marcia are all tied for two at this point.

David:
All right.

Nicole:
Woo. Woo.

David:
Guys ready for round two?

Jeff:
Let’s do it.

Tom:
Harris and Badger, and Nicole and Frederick are also tied with zero.

Nicole:
I just got roasted by Tom.

David:
Wow, he is over the target.

Nicole:
Woo.

Jeremy:
I expect nothing more from Maybourne.

David:
All right. Round two. Jeremy and Sonja, back to you guys.

Tom:
Ah.

Jeremy:
Sweet.

Tom:
The question is from Frederick. What was the color of Ra’s cat?

Sonja:
OK, this is me chatting with Jeremy. I think an Abyssinian. It’s a brownish, tan-ish. I remember being “Ah, the kitty.”

Frederick:
It was a hairless cat.

Sonja:
It was not a hairless cat.

Frederick:
It wasn’t?

Sonja:
No, it wasn’t. It had hair.

David:
Guys, give me a more basic color.

Sonja:
Brown.

Frederick:
I think it was brown or tan. I just watched the movie.

Sonja:
I’m pretty sure it was an Abyssinian so I don’t know what color are those. Brown, tan, reddish.

David:
That’s close enough for me, Tom, go ahead and give the answer.

Tom:
The answer that I have on the page is orange.

Sonja:
I said brown, tan, red.

David:
I’ll take it.

Sonja:
It was ginger, there we go. Sort of.

David:
I would call that orange. Thank you, Frederick.

Tom:
Me too.

Sonja:
Thanks for giving me a cat question.

David:
Thank ChatGPT.

Nicole:
Thanks for not giving you a cat question.

David:
It randomized all of them.

Tom:
Just to make sure, keep your cats out of Springfield too.

David:
All right.

Linda:
Two points to them, David?

David:
Yes, please. Sommer and Allan, the next question is to you.

Allan:
Let’s go.

David:
I think it may be my question.

Tom:
Question from David, yes. While the film was being shot, who was Jaye Davidson actually playing?

Allan:
He played Ra, but also the villager that…

Sommer:
Before he was Ra, he was the villager that was abducted?

David:
Tom, can you repeat the question?

Tom:
While the film was being shot, who was Jaye Davidson actually playing? Probably should’ve been besides Ra.

David:
That is the insinuation. This is behind-the-scenes information.

Allan:
Was the character different originally?

Sommer:
If so, I honestly don’t know. I know that he played the villager before he was abducted, but if he had another part in the film…

David:
It’s the same part.

Sommer:
I know that when he originally did dialogue, he did speak English. They went back over it in the film and he had to do Egyptian dialogue and they altered his voice and his eyes. I’m not sure I really understand the other part of the question.

David:
He was not playing Ra, he was playing someone else. Does anyone know?

Allan:
He was playing the same person but it was a different character.

Sommer:
OK. Now, you’re not talking about the original alien thing? That’s what you’re talking about?

David:
No.

Sommer:
That was the race that was supposedly connected to Thor. It was actually supposed to be that kind of alien race but then they changed it in the series to be more of a Goa’uld parasite. But it wasn’t Goa’uld at first, it was an offset of Thor and I cannot remember the exact name. I wanna say it started with a…

Sonja:
Sounds like they’re asking for the Egyptian god.

David:
So, while the film was being shot, Tom, what is my answer?

Tom:
Your answer is one of Ra’s lieutenants.

Sommer:
I didn’t know that.

David:
Dean Devlin revealed that…

Allan:
They changed it into the main character.

Sommer:
I’ll be damned.

David:
They needed to punch up his deadliness. In post-production they remade him, instead of an envoy, they remade him Ra.

Allan:
So, he was there on behalf or Ra?

David:
The parasite looking for a host, that was all added at the end of production.

Allan:
Wow.

Sommer:
I knew that.

David:
That was all shot later.

Sommer:
I didn’t know the lieutenant part at all.

Nicole:
I’m learning so much.

David:
There you go. When he was abducted on the planet, he was literally abducted. He wasn’t taken as a host.

Sommer:
Do we get half a point for that ’cause we knew that part. I didn’t know the lieutenant part.

Nicole:
Is it too obvious?

David:
Who thinks that they should get one point instead of two? Raise your hand.

Jeremy:
They should get one point.

Linda:
I’m scorekeeper, I’m not voting.

Nicole:
You guys are too generous. Where’s your competitive spirit, guys?

Allan:
I love you guys.

Harris:
And Canadian.

David:
That was a very hard question.

Retro Badger:
Very tough.

David:
I will give them one.

Sommer:
Thank you.

Nicole:
I felt my question was a hard question, but whatever.

David:
Your question was hard too.

Linda:
Yours was.

David:
All right. Jeff and Marcia, the next question is yours.

Nicole:
Jeff, you suck.

David:
Jeez. This question is also from David. According to the film, what is the primary element of the Stargate?

Allan:
I know.

Jeff:
Any ideas, Marcia?

David:
Marcia, you’re muted. There you go.

Marcia:
You missed all of my clever comments. Let’s see. Repeat the question.

Tom:
According to the film, what is the primary element of the Stargate?

Marcia:
According to the film.

David:
It’s also in the novels.

Jeff:
I’ve never read the novels.

David:
That’s all right.

Jeff:
It wouldn’t be naquadah at that point.

David:
Correct. It’s not naquadah at that point.

Marcia:
No, they talked about an unnamed element, an unnamed mineral. I don’t remember the rest.

Linda:
If they don’t get it, I get to answer because I know this one.

David:
I think, Allan, did you also know it as well?

Allan:
Yeah, I think I do. I’ll wait to see what Linda says and then I’ll see if it’s the same one.

David:
Let’s give them some time. I’m glad that we’re throwing some hard ones in here.

Jeff:
That is a tough one. I legitimately have no idea, so Marcia, this is all on you.

Sommer:
No pressure.

Marcia:
I’m trying to leap through in my brain.

Sonja:
Wait, this was in the movie?

David:
Yep.

Nicole:
I was listening out for it and then my brain just never caught it.

Jeff:
I was watching and Nicole kept talking.

Nicole:
Shut up, Jeff.

David:
That is a problem that she has.

Marcia:
I don’t remember.

David:
Linda, we need to move forward. Linda, what is it?

Linda:
Quartz.

Sommer:
Quartz.

Allan:
Quartz, yes.

David:
Yes.

Jeff:
Quartz?

Marcia:
I don’t remember that.

Sommer:
When they go to the mines.

David:
The computer in the handheld device.

Linda:
I think it’s Brown who says it.

David:
Brown’s computer says it. Yep. Quartz primary element.

Jeff:
Good question. Good question.

David:
And in the novels, represented as quartz crystal.

Marcia:
Sorry, Jeff.

Jeff:
I apologize.

Linda:
Which is dead common and they wouldn’t be mining.

David:
OK. Nicole, would you have liked to have gotten that question?

Nicole:
I didn’t know what it was.

David:
There you go, so shut up.

Nicole:
Jeff and I watched it and we both talked over it and he’s saying I did, but he did too.

David:
Harris and Badger. Hey, guys.

Harris:
We got this one.

Tom:
OK, now here’s a really soft question from Nicole ’cause she loves you all so much. Why did Daniel take the newspaper from the airman?

Sonja:
I know this one.

Retro Badger:
Because he saw the star of the constellation. It was Orion, wasn’t it? He saw Orion.

Harris:
I think it was Orion. It was Orion.

Retro Badger:
It was Orion.

Marcia:
Hey, Jeff, we needed that question.

Retro Badger:
I think that’s the final answer, Harris?

Harris:
Let’s do it.

Retro Badger:
OK, final answer. It’s constellation, the star constellation, Orion.

Tom:
You didn’t have to name the actual Orion. But it had constellations.

Nicole:
I went soft.

Retro Badger:
Thank you.

Tom:
There were constellations he recognised from the kartouche.

David:
You said the word right; the fancy word. Kartouches. Are you having a good time Tom?

Tom:
So far.

Nicole:
He’s just watching me bully people and everyone bully me in return. I hope he’s having a good time.

David:
Nicole and Frederick.

Tom:
Here’s an easy one from Jeremy. What is the name of the film in the Mexican market?

Nicole:
As a Spaniard, this is very upsetting for me. All I have to say about this, Fred, is that in Spanish, whenever it would come up in Spain, it would go really dramatically, “El Stargate,” in a very thick Spanish accent, OK? The translation didn’t really translate. However, the direct translation for Stargate to Spanish is Puerta de los Estrellas. So, that’s the only translation I could think of ’cause it’s the direct translation. But I’m sure they gave it a fancy name. Like with Star Wars they called it Los Guerras de las Galaxias, which is the Wars of the Stars. So, I’m gonna assume it’s Puerta de los Estrellas, or something close. Do you have anything, Fred?

Frederick:
I have nothing. I don’t even speak Spanish so I’ll take your answer.

David:
He can probably tell you the French.

Nicole:
What’s the French one, Fred? Maybe we can mar up and match them up.

David:
What’s it called in France?

Frederick:
In France?

David:
In Quebec?

Frederick:
I think it’s La Porte des Etoiles. It’s La Porte des Etoiles as well in Quebec. And we had La Porte d’Atlantis.

Nicole:
Makes sense. I think that’s all we’ve got, David.

Sonja:
Someone do the Italian.

David:
Don’t we all feel a little bit fancier? Anyone know Italian?

Nicole:
You put the two foreign people together. I want that noted.

David:
Geez. All right, Tom, what is the full translation?

Tom:
It’s probably worth at least one point. Don’t you think?

David:
It is. I’m giving them one point.

Tom:
La Puerto and del Tiempo.

Nicole:
Ah, the Portal of Time, or the Door of Time. Damn.

David:
The Gate of Time.

Nicole:
Damn.

Jeremy:
Interesting.

Nicole:
Damn, I didn’t know it was time.

Jeremy:
They just translated it in Spanish, so it really confused audiences in Mexico particularly because they thought it was a time travel story.

Jeff:
I’d be pretty bummed.

David:
Rob Cooper said that when they got on staff, one of the hardest things that they had to do about selling the concept to audiences was, what does the Stargate do? Because of things like that, people were confused. It’s not dimensional, it’s not temporal, it’s geographic.

Nicole:
I’m glad my Spanish half paid off.

David:
There we go.

Nicole:
A win is a win.

Frederick:
Thank God it did.

David:
Linda, what are the totals at the end of round two?

Linda:
Jeremy and Sonja are in the lead with four points, Sommer and Allan have three. Jeff and Marcia and Harris and Badger are tied at two. Nicole and Frederick have one.

David:
Guys, well done.

Nicole:
Winning last place.

David:
Round three.

Jeremy:
It’s a nice change.

Nicole:
I never win anymore.

Tom:
Round three.

David:
Before we start, Tom, you had mentioned something about the film before we had started. When was the last time you had seen it? Had you seen it in the theater?

Tom:
Probably in the theater, back at the time. I wasn’t really a science buff, nor was I sort of caught up in the whole actor and movie thing. I went to the movies to watch stuff. I look at the bits that I saw, I probably will find it now. I thought Spader was fantastic. I went, “My God, that was an amazing piece of acting.” I liked the older lady as well. I really grabbed those two.

David:
Viveca Lindfors.

Tom:
I thought she was really classy and when the two of them got together and talked, I found it really interesting that they were actually talking to each other.

David:
I loved that Shanks and Elizabeth Hoffman really carried the relationship well into SG-1. I bought that they were the same characters continuing the same journey. Especially when she gets pissed at him for, “Oh, by the way, this thing is continuing and you haven’t told me?”

Tom:
No, I don’t even know enough about Stargate SG-1 to even know that.

David:
You really should go back and watch a couple of seasons of that show, Tom, if the spirit ever moves you.

Nicole:
There’s one good episode.

David:
Because there’s some good ones.

Nicole:
That has the features it, so…

Tom:
But if I get caught up in it, then what am I gonna do with the rest of my life?

David:
Hang out with us, my friend. Hang out with us.

Sommer:
Hang out here. Come and hang out with us.

Jeff:
Takes about a year to go through the series.

David:
Jeff did after hanging out with us. Jeff and Nicole went through it together and Jeff can speak from personal experience as an actor on the show.

Jeff:
Heck of a show.

Tom:
I also, going through the IMDb and the other stuff, the Kurt Russell character, I thought, “There’s two notes that an actor can play, really down and then smile at the end.” I thought, “Wow, is that a fucking boring piece of acting?”

David:
That’s what Richard Dean Anderson had to start with going in to make the transition. All right.

Tom:
Spader really, really grabbed me. I probably will go find the movie now. I never knew who the Jaye Davidson guy was. Back then, he never stuck in my mind at all. I do believe I remember seeing The Crying Game and going, “My God, what a really interesting movie.” I only saw it once and I don’t remember the actors in it, except I remember how good the actors were, but I don’t remember their names. Reading some of his biography, you just go, “My God, what a trip that kid must have gone through from when they sort of decided to offer him something.” I did read the note, I think it was on YouTube somewhere, that he didn’t wanna play the part. He was offered the part and he said no ’cause he feels really uncomfortable being an actor in front of a camera. Finally, they kept bugging him and he said, “OK, I’ll do it for a million,” ’cause he thought they would say no and they said yes.

David:
Absolutely. Raise your hand if you’ve seen The Crying Game.

Jeremy:
I’ve seen scenes.

David:
I have not seen it. I think I’m gonna have to watch it.

Tom:
It’s a tough film. It has a lot to say, boy.

Nicole:
Add it to the list, David.

David:
Like Midnight Express tough film, or along those lines?

Linda:
It’s very intense.

Tom:
The politics of the time and the level of human danger in the whole thing. Based really in the political structure, the political things that were going on in Britain at the time.

David:
Wow, OK.

Jeremy:
It has LGBTQ+ themes in it. He plays a transgender character.

Tom:
That’s quite amazing.

David:
All right, cool, I’ll check it out. Round three, Jeremy and Sonja. If you guys have questions for Tom, start thinking about them, ’cause we’ll come around. You guys in my gallery right now, not in the chat. Sorry, guys. You’ve had chances in the past. The people who are with us now, if you have any questions for Tom later on, I’ll invite you to ask them. Round three, Jeremy and Sonja.

Tom:
This is a question from Retro Badger: Which actor appeared in both the Stargate movie and Stargate Universe?

Sonja:
Universe? Wait.

Sommer:
Come on, Sonja.

Sonja:
I know Atlantis was Richard Kind. How familiar are you with Universe, Jeremy?

Jeremy:
I actually asked the same question, so I know the answer.

David:
Jeez. OK, sorry, guys.

Jeremy:
But, Sonja, if you know, I’ll let you see if you can figure it out.

Sonja:
I don’t know Universe enough. I’ve only seen it through once. Erick Avari and Alexis Cruz were in SG-1 and Richard Kind.

David:
As their characters. Richard was different.

Sonja:
As the same characters. Richard Kind was in Atlantis as Lucius, but who was in Universe? Jeremy, since you know, can you give me a hint?

Jeremy:
The character in Stargate was Ferretti, so who did Ferretti play in Universe, the character who played Ferretti?

David:
The actor.

Jeremy:
He also played Inspector Gadget, if that helps at all.

Jeff:
Doodle-doo-doo-loo-doo-doo.

Frederick:
No. Oh my God. French Stewart.

David:
There you go.

Jeremy:
French Stewart.

David:
Third Rock from the Sun.

Sommer:
There you go.

David:
With the big giant head.

Sonja:
I was like, “Wait a second.” I always thought that French Stewart’s character looked more like Jay Acovone’s character and I was like, “Why wasn’t he Kawalsky?” ‘Cause in my brain, they look so similar.

David:
So, Jay should’ve played Ferretti, is what you’re saying.

Sonja:
Yes.

David:
Interesting, OK.

Sonja:
But in my brain, that’s how that worked, but anyway.

Allan:
Then we would’ve stopped years of complaining because his character was killed off.

Sonja:
I saw him at triple A once randomly and I didn’t say anything to him.

David:
Jay or French?

Sonja:
Jay.

David:
Jay’s a good guy.

Allan:
He’s funny. He’s a great guy.

David:
All right, Sommer and Allan, you guys are next.

Allan:
Let’s go, Sommer.

Tom:
That was a two-pointer, correct?

David:
Yes.

Linda:
Yes.

Tom:
OK, this is a question from Badger. What brand chocolate bar did Daniel offer to Kasuf?

Allan:
Do you wanna go with that one, Sommer?

Linda:
Nobody knows this one.

David:
Klondike bar is wrong. Next question.

Sommer:
No.

Nicole:
Why don’t I have this question?

Allan:
I thought you said you removed questions about chocolate bars?

David:
I removed duplicates.

Allan:
Duplicates.

Sommer:
Fifth Avenue.

Allan:
Fifth Avenue.

David:
That’s right. Well done, guys.

Sommer:
Yay.

Jeremy:
I don’t think I’ve ever had one, a Fifth Avenue bar.

Linda:
They’re yummy if you like peanut butter.

Tom:
What kind of cigarettes did he smoke?

David:
I don’t know.

Jeremy:
Marlboro Reds.

Tom:
Camels.

Jeremy:
No, it was Marlboro Reds.

Tom:
I was gonna say Camels.

David:
He should have.

Jeremy:
I was gonna ask a question.

David:
Mastages, he smokes Mastages.

Jeff:
I was gonna ask the question about Marlboro Reds, but I didn’t know that anyone would notice.

Allan:
I noticed.

David:
He could afford ’em. as a colonel. All right, Jeff and Marcia.

Jeff:
Here we go.

Marcia:
You gotta do questions like that one. I like that.

Nicole:
What the hell?

Tom:
Another question from Badger. Who composed the movie score?

Jeff:
Ooh.

Marcia:
That one I know, I think.

Nicole:
Why don’t I get this question?

Marcia:
David Arnold.

David:
Nicole, be still. David Arnold.

Tom:
Yes, that’s correct.

David:
All right.

Jeff:
Nice.

Marcia:
Twelve points.

Jeremy:
Such an amazing scorer.

Nicole:
I was going on and on about it yesterday. It’s so beautiful.

David:
He’s good. He was 23, 24 at the time.

Sommer:
He was actually working in a record store when they approached him for this one too, so that was pretty neat.

Retro Badger:
It was used in quite a lot of things as well, wasn’t it? It was used in a lot of trailers for different movies.

Allan:
They mentioned that.

David:
All right, Harris and Badger.

Tom:
Yes, Harris and Badger, round three, question four. It’s from Frederick. What is the baseball team on Charlie’s shirt in his picture in his bedroom?

Sommer:
I know, I know.

Harris:
Good God.

Nicole:
Fred, you’re a monster.

Frederick:
Yes, I am.

Nicole:
I love it.

Retro Badger:
Let’s see.

Harris:
A baseball team?

Retro Badger:
Baseball?

Sommer:
I have to point out, there’s faultiness in the question though.

Nicole:
‘Cause you said Charlie instead of Tyler.

Allan:
I hope that’s not a question.

David:
It’s not.

Retro Badger:
I don’t really know many baseball teams.

David:
I think it’s his team. I think it’s a little-league team.

Sonja:
No. Oh my God, I know this one.

Retro Badger:
It’s the little league?

Sonja:
Wait, I know this one.

Retro Badger:
Red Sox, is that a baseball team?

David:
But it’s a little-league team. I’m pretty sure it’s a little-league team. Would anyone else agree?

Retro Badger:
That doesn’t help.

Sonja:
It’s not.

Linda:
It’s not.

Allan:
No, no.

David:
It can’t have the same name? I don’t think he was playing for that team.

Marcia:
He was a fan of the team.

David:
OK, that could be too.

Linda:
All the little kids running around San Diego with their Friars wear on. They all have the uniforms that they wear to school.

Retro Badger:
Did he live in Arizona? Did Jack O’Neill live in Arizona?

David:
We can’t talk about that at the moment.

Retro Badger:
Sorry.

David:
It’s not actually stated where he lives.

Harris:
I was about to say, it feels more almost Pacific Northwest if I had to guess, ’cause there’s so much greenery around it.

Jeremy:
But we don’t have fall leaves and there’s lots of fall leaves in the movie at O’Neill’s house.

Harris:
Not even Pacific Northwest, could be Northeast as well.

David:
Raise your hand if you have the answer, if you think you’ve got the answer. Sonja, what’s the answer?

Sonja:
The Mets.

David:
There it is.

Harris:
The Mets?

David:
You think it’s the New York Mets? Is it the same jersey?

Linda:
It’s the same logo and the cap has the…

David:
OK, spank me Rosie. There you go. I didn’t know that. I thought that was his own team. ‘Cause you can infer that he has his own team, based on his trophies. Very good. Nicole and Frederick.

Nicole:
God.

Tom:
OK, Nicole and Frederick. Question from Harris. “In the opening Egyptian scene, the Abydos mine scene and the desert battles, what, besides extras, were used as stand-ins to fill in the crowd?”

Nicole:
I’m sick of these behind-the-scenes questions that I don’t know the answers to.

David:
I can tell you I did not give them to you. ChatGPT did.

Nicole:
ChatGPT knows somehow.

Sonja:
Who asked this question?

Nicole:
Harris.

Frederick:
Did they just use fake cardboard people?

Nicole:
I would assume it’s a bunch of cardboard cut-outs. It’s not gonna be Q-tips- like George Lucas.

Frederick:
No, scarecrows.

David:
That or what, Frederick?

Frederick:
Scarecrows.

Nicole:
It could be scarecrows and cardboard cut-outs. Either way some sort of wheaty paper man.

David:
Tom. I’m giving them two points.

Tom:
I would give them two points too.

Nicole:
Did Fred get it?

David:
What’s the answer, Tom?

Tom:
Scarecrows and mannequins.

David:
You say scarecrows, I give you two points. Absolutely. That’s well done.

Tom:
I’m sure some of them were cardboard cut-outs too.

Nicole:
I appreciate that, Tom. Thank you.

Tom:
I know. I knew you would.

David:
Linda, we’re at the end of round three. Where are we?

Linda:
Jeremy and Sonja are still leading with six. Sommer and Allan are still chasing them hard with five. Jeff and Marcia have four, Harris and Badger have two, and Nicole and Frederick are creeping up with three.

David:
There you go.

Nicole:
I think I’m gonna lose to Jeff on a Stargate quiz.

David:
Lockwatcher in the chat said, “Camels?” Jean Diatta, “Dressed up broomsticks?” Jean Diatta, “I’m giving myself two points.” All right; that’s for round three. Does anyone have a question for Tom?

Nicole:
I do.

David:
Go ahead, Nicole. You’ve met him once.

Nicole:
I know, but I was thinking about it. ‘Cause I think Tom looks handsome in every outfit he wears throughout the show. I wanted to know, what was the more comfortable outfit to wear? Your casual stuff, your military stuff, or King Arkhan?

Tom:
The military stuff, I never felt like I was a military person, so I always felt like I was sort of a cardboard cut-out. When I first went into civvy clothes, I thought, “Oh, this is crazy.” With the shorts and the long socks, I thought, “Oh, man, they’re making me look so goofy.”

David:
But first you had to go in death row clothes.

Tom:
There was that. Then, when they got really casual, I did enjoy that, and the Arkhan stuff was fun. You just have to grab that stuff and run with it. If I had to do 25 episodes with it, I’d probably go, “Come on, can’t we change this a tad?”

David:
For sure, absolutely.

Allan:
The Arkhan costume felt like it was actually tailored directly for you, but it was really tight as well, really cut in.

Tom:
I may have gone in for a costume fitting, but when I first got the fur on and stuff, I was like, “Woo, woo.” That first reveal was so bizarre.

David:
For sure. He’s definitely in his element.

Nicole:
The Arkhan outfit is my favorite.

Sommer:
That’s a good one.

David:
Anyone else?

Linda:
Yeah, when we were up in Vancouver and driving to the location we filmed at, you showed me the Laughing Man statue. We drove by there and you pointed it out to me because I told you I love art. What’s your favorite art museum in Vancouver? What should I see when I go up there and have non-Stargate time?

Tom:
The anthropology museum out at UBC is really fantastic. The Vancouver Art Gallery, depending on what’s there, there’s always some really interesting stuff there. I haven’t been to this one up in Whistler. There’s a gallery up there that has some really neat Canadian stuff in it. It’s a small one. I haven’t been there, but I’ve seen some of the stuff. Every once in a while, they’ll put up what they might have there. Other than that, I suppose I could do some research for you. The Laughing Guys, that circle is still there and has been gifted to the city. So, it will probably remain there forever.

Linda:
I love it. That was really fun to see. I do sculpture.

Tom:
There are folks there that just delight in it every day you walk by. There are people taking pictures, climbing on it. A lot of the finish has worn off on a lot of it. It’s down to silver now or chrome, rather. Not really chrome, but silver instead of the bronze color. It’s a really beautiful piece.

David:
We’ve got in the chat, Tubby Gut says, “Tom, please come to Fan Expo in Calgary.”

Tom:
I would love to get invited. I don’t get invited much. It got so that the first few I went to were really great because I thought they really looked after the fans and they really looked after the guests. Although I’m kind of a secondary guest, now when you do get invited, they pay you a lot less, but they give you opportunities to make more money by jumping on a bus with people and going on tours. I’m really a lousy entertainer. I can’t stand up and be a joker. I don’t have fast stuff coming out of my mouth all the time. I love script and that kind of stuff; I love being prepared. When you sort of get into an area where you have to be on your toes and dancing and stuff, that’s not my bag. It’s a lot of other actors’ bags and they can do that and they love it. They also love making money and they force themselves to learn how to do that. I also think that often the American ones especially don’t treat the fans really well. They soak them for dough and then they only allow them certain things with the guests and stuff. They keep everything really at arm’s distance. I find that kind of usurious.

Sonja:
Everything is monetized.

Sommer:
Sorry, Sonja, go ahead.

Sonja:
I was saying everything’s monetized at cons.

Tom:
It feels that way. I know the first few I went to in Britain were so much fun and maybe we were in danger of being molested. I don’t know. I never got molested, so. But I enjoyed sitting in the bar with the fans and I enjoyed running into them in the hallways and having lunch with them and that kind of stuff.

Sommer:
Yesterday with RDA, it was after convention hours, he was still signing autographs because he felt that really important to spend time with his fans.

David:
He takes his time.

Tom:
In the early days, he didn’t go to them.

David:
No, but he’s found it now.

Tom:
Which is really great and it’s just so warm. I still have a lot of Facebook friends from the cons, the Gatecon. I’ve been to a couple of Gatecons here.

David:
That’s the guy.

Tom:
I really, really enjoyed them. I didn’t go to the first few because my agent at the time says, “No, you’re not going, they don’t pay you.” I never even looked into it. Had I known it was a fundraiser, I didn’t pay enough attention to it to know that. When I know they’re fundraisers and they’re raising funds for good stuff, I’ll go for nothing.

David:
Absolutely. All right, guys. Ready for round four?

Allan:
Ready.

Harris:
Yeah. Hope so.

David:
All right, Jeremy and Sonja, you are up.

Tom:
OK, here we go. This question is from Harris. Which film actors would also appear in SG-1 in the same roles?

Sonja:
They said those earlier. You wanna repeat them, Jeremy?

Marcia:
Just to give him the points.

Jeremy:
Obviously, Alexa Cruz.

Sonja:
Alexis.

Jeremy:
Sorry, Alexis.

David:
Lexa Doig.

Jeremy:
Who else?

Sonja:
Erick Avari.

David:
There we go.

Tom:
There’s a two-pointer.

David:
Absolutely.

Allan:
Those questions are way too easy.

Nicole:
There have been some really easy ones in here. I’m getting bullied as always.

Jeff:
Wah.

Nicole:
Wah is right. I’m gonna wah all the way to the end, Jeff.

Sonja:
Don’t you always win, Nicole?

Nicole:
I haven’t won in about three years, I think.

David:
Aw.

Nicole:
I won one or two early and that’s it.

Allan:
You won with me when we were on a team.

Nicole:
No, we didn’t.

Allan:
Didn’t we?

Nicole:
No, you just had this last time. We didn’t win.

Allan:
It’s a travesty.

Nicole:
We did a really good job.

David:
Nicole, I think you won by yourself. There you go. Sommer.

Allan:
That’s why David’s stopped doing individuals and not teams, because you kept winning.

David:
No, we had too many people. It would take too long to get around to people. I want people to be able to participate more.

Allan:
That’s your excuse and you’re sticking to it.

Tom:
The problem, Nicole, is you haven’t paid enough attention as we’ve gone.

Nicole:
Tom, don’t make me dislike you, Tom.

David:
Jeez, because she will if you threaten her with a good time. All right. Sommer and Allan.

Tom:
OK, a question from Frederick. What is the name of the newspaper that Daniel steals from the guard?

Sonja:
That’s a good one.

Allan:
I paid attention to everything on that newspaper except the name of the newspaper.

Sommer:
Thank you. I was just about to say, I even asked the Orion question as well.

David:
If I may insert?

Allan:
If the question had been “what was the story on the back page?” no problems.

David:
The thing is, Frederick, you got the section right, but you got the name of the newspaper wrong. I had to go back in the film and check.

Frederick:
Really?

Allan:
This should be a null-and-void question. We should get different ones.

Sommer:
I agree.

David:
But it’s really a question from Frederick and David.

Sommer:
They’re in Colorado? Is Creek Mountain still in Colorado or was that in a different state than Cheyenne?

Jeremy:
It’s in Colorado.

Sommer:
OK, can we assume maybe it was Colorado? But even then, normally, Washington Post…

Allan:
I don’t think it’s a mainstream newspaper, though.

Sommer:
Maybe Washington Post or Washington Times, I think…

Allan:
No, I don’t think it’s one of the real… It might be a real one. But the type of stories that were on it, it’s more like a… What do you call that? What do you call your newspapers in the UK? The ones that are just conspiracy theories?

Jeff:
Tabloids?

Sommer:
Tabloid?

Allan:
Tabloids. It’s sort of like a tabloid, I think, but I don’t know.

David:
Does anyone know the answer?

Sommer:
I do not know.

Linda:
I have a guess, but I may be wrong.

David:
What do you think, Linda?

Linda:
Is it the Guardian?

David:
No.

Linda:
No.

David:
Tom, what is it?

Linda:
OK, then.

Tom:
The answer is the Denver Post.

Jeff:
Ooh.

David:
The Denver Post, which was founded in 1892 and has a circulation of nearly 60,000.

Sommer:
But it’s in Colorado?

David:
Of course.

Tom:
But I will ask this one here. The section he is interested in is called?

David:
Anyone know? Besides Frederick?

Sommer:
The one that he was reading?

Tom:
The section he was interested in in the Denver Post, do you know what that section was called?

Nicole:
I guess horoscopes or something.

Sommer:
The one that Daniel was interested in?

David:
Yes.

Sommer:
It looked like the horoscope section to me, but I could be wrong.

David:
Allan?

Allan:
No. I can tell you the story on the back page.

Tom:
I was trying to find a way of giving an extra point.

David:
Absolutely. Tom, what is it?

Tom:
It was called the Universe Today.

Sommer:
Thank you for trying. Appreciate the effort.

Tom:
All right.

David:
Jeff and Marcia.

Tom:
That was a zero-pointer. Wow.

Sommer:
Wow, thank you.

Nicole:
I even tried to help by making a random guess.

Tom:
Wow.

David:
Nicole, aren’t you happy that you wouldn’t have gotten it right?

Nicole:
Sure. Let’s take it like that, David. Thank you.

Sommer:
That was a good question.

Tom:
Here we go, question three. What design do we see on O’Neill’s son’s bedsheets?

Jeff:
Ooh.

Sonja:
I know this one.

David:
I didn’t know this either.

Sommer:
I wrote that one too.

Marcia:
Jeff, I have no idea. I can guess, but I don’t know.

David:
I’ll say it’s foreshadowing.

Jeff:
Ooh. Maybe some sort of pyramids or stars.

Marcia:
Pyramid, stars, foreshadowing. What else could they be foreshadowing other than pyramids and things like that? Or ships or mastigis?

Jeff:
Could be spaceships.

David:
Those darn mastigis.

Jeff:
Seems like spaceships.

Nicole:
Fifth Avenue chocolate bars all over the place.

David:
That’s funny.

Marcia:
Crapola. I’ll go with Jeff, with what you said because I don’t know.

Jeff:
Kids like spaceships.

Marcia:
I would say.

Jeff:
Maybe? Is that agreeable? Either spaceships or pyramids.

David:
OK. Tom, what’s the answer?

Marcia:
Star Wars.

Tom:
It’s hieroglyphics.

Jeff:
Ooh.

David:
I never noticed that.

Marcia:
That’s a good one.

Jeff:
Me neither. I did not pick that up when I was watching it.

Nicole:
Jeff, we should have paid more attention.

Jeff:
I know… if you weren’t talking so much.

Nicole:
Shut up, Jeff.

David:
Wow.

Marcia:
I’m getting no points.

David:
OK then.

Tom:
Jeff and Marcia and Harris and Badger and Nicole and Frederick have all got the zero club.

Jeff:
Ugh.

David:
Geez.

Nicole:
Yay.

Tom:
You’re not alone anymore, Nicole.

Nicole:
Tom’s mean and I’m obsessed with it. I love it. Come back.

Jeremy:
He is Maybourne…

Sommer:
“Maybourne, you’re an idiot every day of the week. Can’t you take one day off?”

David:
“It’s insubordination major.” Harris and Badger, question to you.

Tom:
OK, question from Sommer. Before James Spader, who was offered to play Daniel Jackson? I can’t believe this.

David:
I didn’t either.

Retro Badger:
Do you know… I’ve heard of this before, but I just…

Harris:
I wanna say it’s Will Smith or Denzel or somebody like that.

Sommer:
That’d have been a different show.

Retro Badger:
I think it’s somebody pretty famous.

Sonja:
I don’t know, his name seems too big.

Harris:
I might be thinking of Colonel O’Neill. The question was before Spader, right?

Sonja:
Before Daniel?

Sommer:
Yeah.

Tom:
Daniel Jackson, we’re looking for.

Harris:
I swear I was just reading this literally yesterday. I don’t know.

David:
Sommer, where did you get that answer?

Sommer:
It was in the IMDb facts.

Retro Badger:
That is a tricky one.

David:
According to IMDb.

Sommer:
According to IMDb…

David:
Which sometimes is incorrect, but according to IMDb.

Retro Badger:
OK, let’s try and think of actors who were big around that time. Like you said, Will Smith. He was big around then, Independence Day.

Harris:
But I think he was offered O’Neill first. I think that was for Daniel. ‘Cause I do remember reading that fact, going through IMDb and looking through everything. I just can’t remember the other half of it. The important half.

Retro Badger:
Stargate’s linked to Independence Day, isn’t it? With the writers, is that correct?

Harris:
What, Goldblum or something maybe?

Retro Badger:
Yeah.

David:
Interesting.

Retro Badger:
We could say Will Smith. That’s all we’ve got.

Sonja:
If it was Goldblum, I would’ve watched it.

David:
All right, Tom. What’s the answer?

Tom:
Who was the actor in the stage play that became a movie about the huge plant that ate people?

David:
Little Shop of Horrors.

Sonja:
Rick Moranis.

David:
According to IMDb, Rick Moranis was offered Stargate.

Allan:
Wow.

Retro Badger:
No way. OK.

Sommer:
He said he turned it down because he wanted to do the Flintstones and make Little Giants.

David:
There we go. I loved him in the Flintstones.

Jeremy:
That would have been really different.

David:
Nicole and Frederick.

Tom:
OK, question from Jeremy. Hang in there, Nicole, you’ll get this one. What was the name of the hotel where Daniel Jackson gives his presentation?

Jeff:
Ooh.

Nicole:
I want to note, if this was SG-1, I’d be knocking it out of the park, but it’s not, is it?

Jeremy:
Don’t hate me.

Frederick:
I don’t know either.

David:
This is a good question.

Nicole:
I’m gonna take you down a peg for a second, Jeremy, which is last time we did this and we were paired up, you helped me zero.

David:
Wow.

Nicole:
You suck.

Jeremy:
Burn.

Nicole:
Burn.

Sommer:
Man. Cutthroat.

Nicole:
Fred, what do you think’s a good hotel?

Frederick:
Maybe the Continental? I don’t know.

Nicole:
I was thinking the Marriott or something.

Frederick:
Marriott could be valid as well. It’s clearly not a Best Western, so there’s that.

Nicole:
I’d say we grab one at random and pray that we’ve got it right.

Jeremy:
Great Wolf Lodge.

Frederick:
Pick one.

Nicole:
Fred, you’re not helping me. OK, which one do you want out of the two we’ve just named?

Frederick:
Let’s go with the Marriott.

Nicole:
OK, it’s wrong.

Frederick:
It’s clearly wrong.

David:
OK, Tom.

Tom:
It is wrong. It’s the Park Plaza Hotel. The Park Plaza.

Nicole:
I could have made a note of it. I should have written it down, but no, I didn’t. I glanced over it.

Frederick:
I tried to notice as well, but I couldn’t.

Tom:
Only one team got points that time.

David:
Wow.

Tom:
They’ve launched up to eight points now.

David:
Jeremy and Sonja, that’s it. Who else have we got, Linda, besides Jeremy and Sonja at eight?

Linda:
Sommer and Allan are still in second with five points. Jeff and Marcia have four, Harris and Badger have two, and Nicole and Frederick have three.

Nicole:
Second to last.

Harris:
But in last place.

Nicole:
Shut up.

David:
Jeez. All right.

Nicole:
Jeremy, I want it noted. I apologize for my previous comment. I do love you.

Jeremy:
Love you too.

David:
Jeremy and Sonja, round five, the final round. You guys are starting us out.

Tom:
This is a question from Nicole. They’re always so easy.

Jeremy:
Or maybe it’s not.

Tom:
Because she loves you all. What was Stargate’s first incorrect translation?

David:
What was Stargate’s first incorrect translation. Sorry, that was my bad.

Sonja:
When Daniel corrected it on the thing. Didn’t he say Gate of Time or something?

David:
Cat, do you have an answer?

Jeremy:
The cat.

Sonja:
Sorry. He’s thinking, but no, he doesn’t have one.

Jeremy:
No, the funny thing is one of my questions is, “what’s the correct translation?” So, what was the incorrect translation?

David:
The correct translation is Stargate. What’s the incorrect translation?

Jeremy:
Something…

Sonja:
Wait.

Jeremy:
Gate to the heavens.

Sonja:
Door? Was it doorway?

Jeremy:
It was door to the heavens or something, wasn’t it?

David:
Tom, I’ll give it to him.

Allan:
Damn.

Nicole:
My questions were too easy.

David:
Door to heaven.

Allan:
Door to heaven.

David:
There you go.

Nicole:
I’m gonna be so mean to you people next time. I just want that noted.

Jeremy:
Stairway to heaven.

David:
Sommer and Allan.

Tom:
I thought you were gonna wait for them to say…

David:
I’m sorry. I’m clicking it along.

Tom:
I see, OK. Sommer and Allan, question from Harris. The film accidentally uses which symbol instead of the Eye of Ra?

Allan:
Yay.

Sommer:
Is it the Eye of Horus?

Allan:
It is. The Eye of Horus.

Sommer:
All right, we’re gonna go with that.

Tom:
That’s correct.

David:
I didn’t know that until I was talking with Kelly Vint earlier this week and she says, “Eye of Horus,” and I’m thinking to myself, “That’s wrong.” I went and looked and I’m like, “No, she’s right.”

Linda:
They miscall it the Eye of Roth through the whole film.

Jeff:
It’s a pretty big blunder.

David:
Dr. Stuart Tyson Smith, where were you. You had one job.

Allan:
They hired an Egyptologist for the movie.

David:
That was him.

Allan:
Everything was fine except for the Eye of Horus.

David:
Jeff and Marcia.

Tom:
This is another gift from Nicole.

David:
This was actually a repeat question, but yes.

Tom:
For Jeff and Marcia, how much time is the countdown on the nuke?

Nicole:
Jeff and I talked about it last night. This is so unfair.

Jeff:
I think it was seven.

David:
Wow.

Jeff:
There you go.

Nicole:
I want it noted that when we watched the film, Jeff went, “Hey, look, seven minutes. Let’s pay attention to that.” I was like, “Yeah.”

Jeremy:
I almost asked that one too, so…

David:
There you go. All right. Harris and Badger.

Harris:
We’re getting this one.

Retro Badger:
We have to.

Tom:
Gotta find my page now. La, la, la, la. Where did it go? I’m looking for my…

David:
You printed them?

Tom:
I did.

Nicole:
I saw him pull them out. Tom, honestly, I respect it so much.

Tom:
There it is. Sorry, I had it… I use old paper to do it and I turned the paper upside down and used the blank side. But what’s on the side that I printed is… We print off what we audition here at home. So, this is from… I don’t know what show it’s from, but it’s a gerontologist and it says the gerontologist. It’s page 14 and it’s only one line. This is what the gerontologist is supposed to say if you’re auditioning for it. “This jerkoff doesn’t know shit from Shinola. He’s probably never changed his own oil. College boy, I need to pee.” So that’s on the back of this question. Here we go.

David:
We’re all gonna go online and find the transcript for what that was referring to.

Sommer:
Oh, boy.

Linda:
Use the AI to find it.

Harris:
Jeff, put that in ChatGPT.

David:
It gives you fake answers.

Tom:
OK, Harris and Badger, your question from Sommer, Roland Emmerich has a movie trademark he likes to include in all his films, including Stargate. What is it?

Retro Badger:
Let’s think. Let’s think of his other movies.

David:
I didn’t know this one.

Harris:
I’ve got about a half-dozen sarcastic answers that pop in my head, but…

Sonja:
Me too.

Harris:
Natural disasters? I don’t know… We need to get this one too.

Retro Badger:
I know, I know. OK, let’s think.

Harris:
He’s always got natural disasters.

Retro Badger:
Bad things happen?

Harris:
Bad things happen in a not-so-scientific, scientific-themed way.

Retro Badger:
We are going to have to guess, aren’t we?

Harris:
What’s your first guess? I’m still conjuring it up.

Retro Badger:
I’ve got nothing. I don’t know.

David:
Anthony Rawling, pineapples?

Retro Badger:
Oh, boy. Something Egyptian, that’s all I can think of. But I don’t know. Completely wrong probably.

Tom:
I’ll give you a hint.

Harris:
OK, we’ll take it.

Retro Badger:
Please.

Tom:
No, I won’t give you a hint.

Harris:
Ugh.

Nicole:
Yes, Tom. My guide. Yes, Tom.

Jeff:
Nicole was about to get very angry.

Nicole:
I was.

Tom:
I know. I don’t want to get her any angrier.

David:
It’s always a real risk.

Linda:
They only have two points. Go ahead and give them a hint.

Retro Badger:
Could it be the name of a character perhaps?

David:
It’s not a JJ thing.

Harris:
It’s not necessarily something he does in his films, destroying something or a natural disaster or something, I guess? I don’t know.

David:
No monuments get destroyed in Stargate.

Harris:
I guess.

David:
OK, Tom.

Retro Badger:
Sorry…

David:
Does anyone know what it is besides the person who asked it?

Nicole:
I had ideas, but I don’t know for sure.

Linda:
It’s not that he always has an O’Neill, is it?

Tom:
No, you mentioned pineapple and here in Vancouver, there’s a time of year which is around now into February where we have what they call the Pineapple Express. But they’ve now changed the name to an atmospheric river. So, it’s when we get a lot of rain.

Jeff:
We just had one.

Tom:
That’s the answer, is rain.

Sommer:
Rain.

Retro Badger:
One scene?

Allan:
They said it in the director’s commentary. Loves putting a rain scene in every movie.

Retro Badger:
So, when Jackson got into the car? Sorry, Harris.

David:
That’s right. He drew the short straw.

Linda:
‘Cause there’s an O’Neill in Godzilla, so I thought it might be that.

David:
That’s a fair point. That’s a Stargate nod for sure. All right, guys. We’ve come to the last question.

Nicole:
Oh, God.

David:
Nicole and Frederick.

Nicole:
We’re gonna lose, Fred. It’s OK.

Jeff:
You already lost.

Tom:
And this is a gift for you guys. How many moons does Abydos appear to have?

Nicole:
Yes! Yes!

Retro Badger:
I know this one.

Nicole:
Fred, do you know the answer?

Frederick:
I’m hesitating between three different answers. I counted them the other day and I can’t remember.

Nicole:
I was gonna make a joke to Jeff and I don’t think I ever actually said it, but I was thinking, “Ah, Tatooine, sandy planets. They can’t copy them and do two, so why don’t they just add one more and do three?”

Frederick:
That’s my first guess. Three.

David:
Does Tatooine have two moons? It has two suns.

Allan:
Has two suns.

Nicole:
Sorry. That’s what I meant.

David:
I think it has at least three moons.

Nicole:
Jeff, shut up.

David:
All right. You guys got it. Three moons.

Nicole:
Yay!

Allan:
Well done.

Nicole:
Easy one.

Tom:
You ended up in second place, tied.

David:
Linda, in reverse order.

Linda:
In reverse order.

David:
The final tally.

Linda:
Badger with two.

Harris:
Woo!

Linda:
With five points, Nicole and Frederick. Jeff and Marcia have six.

Tom:
Go number four first.

Linda:
Sommer and Allan have seven. Yay! Jeremy and Sonja have 10.

Sommer:
Woo.

David:
Great. Well done. Nice.

Jeremy:
Great job, Sonja.

Linda:
Perfect. You got everyone right.

Jeff:
I finished better than Nicole?

David:
Yes. You and Marcia together.

Linda:
You got her by one point.

Jeff:
Yes. Ooh.

Nicole:
Jeff and I did watch the movie together and I was giving good commentary; I want that noted.

Jeff:
You talk a lot.

Nicole:
He didn’t know about the Tyler and Charlie thing actually, so that was really fun as well. He got a whole load of lessons about that.

David:
Did you all learn a few things about this movie that you didn’t know before?

Jeff:
Yes.

Nicole:
Definitely.

Sommer:
Absolutely.

David:
Absolutely.

Nicole:
I learned that Tom is a sassy guy, and I’m obsessed with it. That’s the right kinda attitude I want in my trivia.

David:
That’s right.

Sommer:
Tom puts the Maybourne in trivia, right?

David:
Tom, did you have a good time?

Tom:
I had a great time. Thank you. I know you got your fingers in a ton of piles with this gate stuff. Now I know what this one’s about. That’s cool.

Sommer:
You always have a good time.

David:
You are performing in February and I’m planning on coming up and seeing you. Can you tell us about the production, where it is, when it’s gonna be, and what you’re doing in it?

Tom:
OK. This is a play written by a writer named Lucas Hnath, H-N-A-T-H. He’s taken Henrik Ibsen’s play, A Doll’s House, which was sort of what they call one of the first feminist plays. Written in 1892 or something like that.

David:
1879.

Tom:
1879.

David:
Close.

Tom:
Thank you. He was a Norwegian writer, but wrote most of his stuff after he left Norway. He wrote a play called A Doll’s House. Nora leaves her husband and children and walks out and the last visual in the play is Torvald is sitting at the table, his wife has walked out and you hear the door slam and the lights go down. That’s the end of the play. Hnath has taken this play and moved it 15 years farther ahead. Nora comes back home; she needs something from Torvald, her husband. She has assumed that they divorced and she has become a writer, writing books about how to leave your husband. If you should, and this is why you should, then do it. Some judge’s wife has left him and he finds the book and realizes that’s why his wife left him. So, he tries to find out who this woman is. She’s writing under a pseudonym and he goes to the publisher and says he will ruin the publisher unless he gets the name and he finds out who it is. It’s this Nora. He finds her and tells her then she is not allowed to sign contracts. She’s not allowed to do a lot of things she’s doing based on the law and he’s gonna ruin her unless she pulls all her books and retracts everything she said. She comes back because she’s not divorced. There are four fabulous scenes, two-hander scenes, between Nora and the maid who’s looked after the kids and Torvald for 15 years. Then, between Torvald and her husband, and then one between Torvald and Nora and one between Torvald and her daughter, who was three when she left and is now 18 and getting married. Then another, the final scene with Nora and her husband again. It just examines a lot of questions from both sides of the male/female point of view about marriages and falling apart and it’s a very intimate little show. The writing is fantastic. It’s the kind of writing you get into when you do some of the great American classics like Death of a Salesman or Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf. When you get into that kind of writing, as an actor, you just feel blessed, because you can dig forever. Even while you’re playing the show, you keep going deeper and deeper into the character, finding more colors to the character. I suppose it’s like your arc if you’re in a series over 7 or 8 years, or 10 years. I found different stuff with Maybourne as we went along. He was very two-dimensional or one-dimensional to start with. Even as the military guy, they started to put depth into him, or I started to find the depth that was already there by having other stuff to say and having to build, “How do I say that? Where does that come from?” That kind of thing wasn’t in the last script. So, as long as you can keep getting the character deeper, it becomes joyful.

David:
Wow. Who are you playing in this cast?

Tom:
I’m playing Torvald, the husband.

David:
You’re playing the husband?

Tom:
Yeah.

David:
Wow.

Tom:
I couldn’t be playing the maid and I’m not playing the…

David:
This is the 21st century.

Tom:
the 18-year-old daughter. I’m the only guy in the show.

David:
Wow.

Tom:
I really enjoy the peace in it. Although it’s still set in the timeframe of 1895 or 1898 or whatever, 15 years after she left and slammed the door, it’s written in modern American lingo, not with a sense of how they used to write in a very old-fashioned kind of way.

David:
Are you in period clothing?

Tom:
Fluevog, who is a fantastic Canadian shoemaker up here, does magnificent shoes and they’re one of the sponsors. The shoes are out of this world. Nora is dressed in this red outfit that blows your mind. The daughter is dressed in some pretty fashionable stuff. The stuff I’m wearing is more traditional.

David:
Reflective of the character, for sure. This is February?

Tom:
Yeah, this is in February, in a small little theater here in town. It’s a different space than we did it in last time, but it’s a really interesting space. I’ve seen a lot of theater there. It holds about 100 people, so it’s quite intimate.

David:
This is the Leary Theater. Wait, wait, wait, this is Niagara University. I’m looking at this wrong.

Tom:
No, this is called the Pacific Theater.

David:
Pacific Theater.

Tom:
Yeah, here in Vancouver.

David:
OK. You’ve done it once before?

Tom:
Yes. We did it last winter.

David:
Wow. February 5th to the 23rd. That is awesome.

Tom:
So, if any of you are in Vancouver, come and see it. There you go. I have nothing coming up. I’ve auditioned for a thousand things in the last year and worked on one and it was one day.

Nicole:
Jeff’s nodding along.

David:
Jeff’s an actor, he gets it.

Jeff:
Nicole does too because she reads with me when I tape my auditions.

Nicole:
I do all his auditions with him over call.

Jeff:
I got two parts this year and they were both one day and two days.

Tom:
The COVID stuff has really changed the way that…

Jeff:
It has. I like it though because I think…

Tom:
You can do it until you like it yourself.

Jeff:
Yes, but that is also a bit of a problem because you can work on a one-liner for an hour.

Tom:
You used to be able to go into a room with the producers and the director and you would have a personal effect. You could also, because it was live… Although they tend to look down at their screens, their little TVs when they’re doing it, the personal effect is still there, so they pick up energy in the room from what you’re doing, which they don’t do…

Jeff:
It’s really hard with the self-tapes.

Tom:
You don’t do it on a screen. In three seconds, they can look at the screen and go, “No, that guy doesn’t look right,” and they can move on.

Jeff:
I tried to be funny in my slates to add that personality.

Nicole:
I was gonna say, the slate.

Jeff:
One of the roles I got, I was like, “I know you’re looking for a guy named Stork. I’m not tall and skinny, but I am short and fat.” I went ba-dum-tss. The director said that’s why he hired me, just for that.

Tom:
There you go. Good for you. I haven’t tried that yet.

Jeff:
I recommend it.

David:
The frustrating thing is you can’t show that you can take a note and take direction.

Jeff:
Take a note too. That’s another thing with in-person auditions.

Tom:
Only if you get a Zoom callback.

David:
Anyone else have anything for Tom?

Retro Badger:
I’d like to ask him what was his favorite scene or episode in Stargate SG-1?

David:
Gotta be something with Rick.

Tom:
No, I really enjoyed a lot of the stuff with Rick. There are a lot of memorable stuff and a lot of them are sort of moments from different places. I can remember, and I don’t even know what episode it was, but it was early on when I was still a military guy and I was actually working. I felt like I was working with…

David:
Amanda Tapping?

Tom:
With Tapping and I felt like he fell in love with her and he thought there was possibilities.

David:
This is “Foothold.”

Tom:
I just thought, “Oh, wow, I wonder if that’s true. Oh, wow.”

David:
“She may like me.”

Tom:
There was other great times when she’d do that classic line of her, “Can’t you take a day off?” Those were hitting sort of times. And moments when Rick would do silly stuff like say, “Oh, we’re Starsky and Hutch. He’s Starsky and I’m Hutch.”

David:
That wasn’t scripted.

Tom:
You just go, “What the fuck is that?”

David:
He’s looking at you, waiting for you to respond while the cameras are rolling, to get that look live.

Tom:
I got told a couple of times that, “Oh, we’re glad you’re back because Rick has been down for a while. Every time you come on, he’s good for another month or two.”

David:
He has a good time.

Tom:
I think he did enjoy me because he could fuck around a bit and then he would look at my face to see what I would come back with. I could never come back with anything really, really clever. It was usually the look on my face of desperation that he used to love. I loved things too when I felt comfortable enough to do stuff that wasn’t scripted and how much they enjoyed that when that would happen. The time after I’d been frozen and I escaped in my funny outfit with the long socks and the Panama hat and I danced, danced down towards the band, the steel drum band. I grabbed one of the extras who was walking across my path and started dancing. We just danced all the way down and they never said “cut” til we got the bottom and then there was a huge applause at the end.

David:
That was a huge pivot for the character because they were like, “Ah, we can see where this can go in a little bit more light way.”

Tom:
They didn’t use much of it, but they used a little bit of it. It did open up doors, I think, for the writers. When they burst into applause, I thought, “Oh, I’m part of the club now.” There was another time when we were off planet and he was fishing and I threw out some plastic explosive, then walked in and grabbed the fish. I didn’t know what to do and they hadn’t said “cut,” so I started throwing fish at him. He started jumping around. At the end of that, there was a huge applause once they said “cut” too. In that same thing, when I was supposed to throw grenades at him, I said, “You guys tell me I’m a military guy. I’ve never thrown a grenade. How do I throw a grenade?” They would look at me like, “What’s the matter with you? You should be doing your research.” I said, “But I’m not military now,” so they taught me how to throw a grenade and stuff. You could feel helpless and magic on the same episode.

Nicole:
I respect that you can go toe to toe with RDA and get that chemistry out. It’s why it worked so well. I love it.

Tom:
Once we were working on a stage piece, we were on First Avenue before they built it up. We were in a warehouse, the theater, a space where we worked and the big doors had opened, we were on a coffee break. We were all hanging out, having a smoke and a coffee. Richard came by on a bicycle. He’s just zooming by and he looked and then he kept going and then all of a sudden, he put the brakes on and he came back. He said, “Tom, what’s going on?” I explained to him we were working on this play. He said, “Oh God, you’re so lucky. God, you’re lucky.” He said, “Oh, that would be so nice. Boy, you have an interesting life.” Then he hopped on his bike and away he went. You go, “My God, I’ve got an interesting life? Compared to you?”

David:
He only had a capacity for two fingers of script, that was about all that his brain would take. He was much more interested in riffing. Peter DeLuise has repeatedly told us the two-finger rule. Other people can inhale dialogue and then regurgitate it in sequence in a performance night after night. I couldn’t do that. I don’t know how you do that. It’s a muscle.

Tom:
This is a story I’ve told many times. I think it was the third or fourth episode and I was in for a lunch-hour reading. Everybody came off, had their lunches and sitting around and the producer, Greenspan…

David:
Greenburg.

Tom:
… Greenburg was sitting at the table. We got to a certain point and there was a big laugh at a line I delivered. He said, “Jesus, you’re such a good actor, Tom. Why the hell didn’t you work for us on MacGyver?” I looked at him and I said, “I auditioned for you bastards 50 fucking times and you never hired me. That’s why I never worked on your fucking MacGyver.” The table burst into laughter. I said it like that. Of course, I wasn’t really angry. I was having fun saying it ’cause I felt comfortable enough at the time. But getting back to this two-line thing, there’s a series that we watched, a BBC series called Foyle’s War. A guy named Michael Kitchen plays the lead part in it and he’s a beautiful actor, beautiful British actor, older guy. I think they did five seasons and then they added three more later. He’s a detective in a small town, or a policeman. The writer that wrote that, gosh, what’s his name? I can’t pull it up at the moment.

Linda:
Anthony Horowitz?

Tom:
Famous British writer. Sorry?

Linda:
Anthony Horowitz?

Tom:
Yes, Horowitz.

David:
Wow.

Linda:
I know him.

Tom:
He told Horowitz, “Please underwrite me. I wanna be able to do stuff with my pauses and with my eyes and where I look and I wanna use my mask. The fewer lines you give me, the happier I’ll be.” It is tremendous what he does with those few lines. It’s quite amazing.

David:
Wow, that’s the thing with Rick. It’s not the amount that you give him, it’s what you give him and what he does with it. One of his things is riffing and he’s able to dial it in and find things that wasn’t there before. You can tell that the writer’s teeing him up.

Tom:
With Kitchen, what he says, what he doesn’t say, he goes deeper with. You understand what he’s thinking, but unable to say. It’s deeper than if he’d had words to say something. It’s quite amazing, that kind of stuff.

David:
Tom, this has been terrific having you and sharing time together.

Sommer:
Always.

Tom:
It’s nice to see you ladies again, and I’m sorry I don’t immediately remember.

Sommer:
It’s OK.

Nicole:
It’s all good.

Linda:
It was, what, an hour?

David:
For sure.

Nicole:
I got to dance down the beach with you, so I really like won out here.

David:
I still have that footage. We haven’t released it yet. I’m working on it.

Nicole:
I’m excited.

Linda:
Someday I’m gonna get you to autograph our photo from that day. It came out really great. It has a rainbow across the front because it was kind of taken into the sun. It’s my favorite. I love that picture.

Tom:
Listen, through David, if you can, send them to me and I’ll certainly autograph them. Next time you’re in Vancouver, bring them and I’ll do them.

David:
With you guys, you in the group here and also in the chat and watching later, those of you who are with us right now, you can refresh the YouTube page and there’s a link to buy tickets to A Doll’s House Part Two at the Pacific Theater. I got it right. If you’re in Vancouver in February, for sure, go and see Tom.

Tom:
It’s short. It’s only like 80 minutes and you can laugh in it, at the outrageousness in it too.

David:
Tom, thank you so much.

Tom:
You’re very, very welcome. So nice to meet you all.

David:
Thank you, sir.

Nicole:
Nice to see you again. Thank you.

Allan:
Thanks Tom.

Jeff:
Nice to meet you.

Tom:
You as well.

David:
Be well, Tom.

Tom:
Goodbye.

Jeff:
Bye.

Sommer:
Bye.

Tom:
Bye.

David:
If you want to hang back, guys, I’m gonna wrap up the show and I’ll be back with you in a moment.

Tom:

I’ll be right back, guys. That is Tom McBeath/Harry Maybourne/Arkhan I from Stargate SG-1. Thank you so much for joining. I hope you guys had a good time. Tomorrow is the 30th anniversary of the film. I think I’m gonna have to rewatch it. I haven’t seen it in a while myself, so I think that’s a good date to do it. Hope you guys enjoyed the show. Hope you had some fun and learned some things that you didn’t know before. My appreciation to Antony for keeping everyone behaving in the chat.
