David:
Hello everyone. Welcome to Dial the Gate, Trivia 7 and our Season Two finale. My name is David Read, thank you so much for joining. We have a panel today. Say hi, panel. How are you guys all doing? Very good. Thank you all so much for joining me, my friends. This is another milestone for the show. We’re finishing up the season and it was important to me to bring you all in because I love spending time with all of you and you’re all great human beings and I had a couple of announcements to make. But before we get started there, if you like what you’re seeing with Dial the Gate this year and you wanna see more content like this on YouTube, it’d mean a great deal if you click the Like button. It makes a difference with YouTube’s algorithm and will help the show continue to grow into Season Three this fall. Please also consider sharing this video with a Stargate friend and if you wanna get notified about future episodes, click the Subscribe icon. If you give the Bell icon a click, it will notify you the moment a new video drops and you’ll get my notifications of any last-minute guest changes. Clips from this live stream actually will not be released on GateWorld, but the episode will continue to be retained on Dial the Gate. Darren, you want a clip from this live stream? I’ll give you one. I’ve brought you all here because there is a big announcement. Dial the Gate is about to give birth to another YouTube channel. We are expanding into a second channel and it is going to be a re-watch channel and tomorrow is our first episode. It is called Wormhole X-Tremists. My co-hosts are going to be Nicole Rodriguez Galdo and Yvie Cahill. I’ve been wanting to do a re-watch channel for a long time. The problem with this show, because there are issues with it other than the issues that I raise, is I have great guests, but I don’t get to sit through this process and grow with anybody and get to know anybody one on one, week to week. It says that everyone else is muted, so hang on just a second. Speak again, everybody. OK, hang on just a second.

Jenny:
I can hear everybody.

David:
OK. Does everyone say something again, please?

Yvie:
Blah, blah, blah.

David:
OK. All right. Let’s back up for a second here. Nicole, tell your story again here. I apologize, everyone.

Nicole:
It was 2:00 AM. I was playing Skyrim. I was about to go to bed and I get a text from David, and I absolutely pooped myself. I was like, “Oh, God.” I thought someone had died. I was like, “What’s going on?” because he was like, “I need you to call me back first thing in the morning.” I was like, “I’m awake now. You’re interrupting Skyrim. What’s up, bro?” Then we called Yvie in and Yvie was at the hairdresser.

Yvie:
Yes, I was.

David:
We brought her in as well.

Yvie:
Sitting in the chair.

David:
They’re gonna be joining me for this. Our first episode is tomorrow and it’s at noon Pacific Time and it’s on a different channel. I need you to go and subscribe to it right now. I am putting it in the live stream feed now. Once we hit 100, that magic number and letter combination will disappear and I can custom name it. But until it hits 100 subscribers, that’s where that is. So, if you guys could go and subscribe to that, that would make a huge difference.

William:
Done and done.

David:
Thank you. Tomorrow is our getting-to-know-you episode. It’s gonna be a Q&A with us, the three of us getting to know one another, how we all fell in love with the franchise.

Nicole:
And each other.

David:
And some icebreaker questions that I found that I think are pretty cool. That’s gonna be the thing that’s really gonna get us kickstarted for this.

Nicole:
I also wanna shout out to Alpha Yanke, whose first comment was, “Ah, Nicole is there. It’s gonna be competitive.” Thanks, bro.

David:
That’s certainly the case.

Yvie:
That’s true.

Jenny:
That’s very true.

David:
And I’m gonna be running to keep up with her. That was one of the reasons I wanted to bring people in who would stand up to me, but not in a mean-spirited way, but push me as a person. So, that’s where that is. I’m hoping that it’s going to be on schedule, because this morning I configured the GoLive for the first episode and YouTube told me, “You will now have permission to go live in 23 hours and 59 minutes.” It’s like, “I’m glad I checked,” because that was not an issue when Dial the Gate started its first live episode, I don’t believe, I don’t remember. So, that’s the big news from me, we’re launching tomorrow. There’s been a lot of polls that I’ve been doing on Dial the Gate over the past year leading up to this. We’re going to sit down next week and do a whole couple of hours dissecting those Dial the Gate polls and then we’re going to release those two at a time over the course of the summer so that we can build up our interest and our subscriber base. At Gatecon we’re all going to get together, because Yvie and Nicole are going to be at Gatecon and we’re going to do some special stuff there.

Allan:
No.

Yvie:
Yes!

David:
Allan, you didn’t even know?

Nicole:
Yeah, Allan.

Allan:
No, I didn’t know.

Nicole:
We’re gonna have a cheeky pint.

David:
That makes sense you didn’t know that they were gonna be my co-hosts, but yes, we’re all gonna be at Gatecon.

Jenny:
Reunion.

Nicole:
Reunion.

David:
Yep, that’s right.

Allan:
Awesome.

David:
We’re gonna shoot some stuff there.

Allan:
I get to meet you guys in person.

Nicole:
I’ll bring some Jaffa Cakes.

Yvie:
I know.

Allan:
Nice.

Nicole:
Stop it, David.

David:
The rewatches themselves will begin late September, early October. That date has not been determined. Darren, GateWorld, I think you guys have the press release?

Darren:
Yep. I got permission to publish as soon as you made this announcement, so it’ll be up on GateWorld this afternoon.

David:
Be my guest. My thanks to GateWorld for that. That’s a big deal there.

Darren:
I’m excited about this show. People are gonna get a real kick out of it and I guarantee you this show is gonna give birth to 1,000 new Stargate memes.

David:
We’ll see what happens.

Nicole:
Oh, no.

Yvie:
I agree.

David:
The press release is also available at DialtheGate.com, if you wanna look there now. Thank you, Fred, for making that possible. Click on the big Wormhole X-Tremists banner on the top of the page. We’re gonna nest it into a subsection of the site. Eventually it’ll have its own little home. We’ll see what happens from there.

Nicole:
I wanna say something really cringey, which is that never in my wildest dreams did I imagine as a child when I was going onto GateWorld that I would be on something on the actual page. That means a lot to me.

Yvie:
It’s a feather in your cap.

David:
When you won that first trivia challenge and I saw you jumping around that room like, “Yes, all right!” I was like, “Okay.”

Darren:
We were impressed.

David:
“There’s something in it for this girl.”

Nicole:
Stargate’s a big deal to me. I’ll kill anybody else who says otherwise.

David:
Yvie, you are so considerate and thoughtful.

Nicole:
The opposite of me.

David:
And frankly, helped me keep her at bay.

Nicole:
I will do my best. I will do my very best. If anything, I enhance Yvie’s brilliantness. Thank you.

Darren:
There you go, superego.

David:
There’s the news for that.

Yvie:
You bring the dynamic.

Jenny:
Darren, that’s what I was gonna say.

David:
We have more news from the Gatecon front. I have been speaking with some folks that you guys know this past week and for Gatecon and Dial the Gate, I made the announcement we’re gonna have some live streams at Gatecon from September 1st to the 5th. That’s gonna be available for free for everyone who uses Dial the Gate. That’s not the entire convention, it’s gonna be specific episodes, one of which will be live on stage on Sunday, Peter DeLuise and David DeLuise. Peter DeLuise is returning to Gatecon for the first time since Gatecon 2000. I will be moderating a conversation between him and his brother and that will be probably late in the morning.

Darren:
Good luck.

David:
They have agreed to do photographs together as well.

Nicole:
I have so many questions. Whew.

Jenny:
It’s gonna be so great, David. It’s gonna be so much fun.

Nicole:
I’m really excited.

David:
I am really excited about this one. I reached out to Peter and basically got on bended knee and said, “I would love to have you.” He thought about it and he was like, “OK, let’s give this a try.” David is there too, it’s gonna be a great time to chat and catch up with them and I’m sure that this panel will be one of the more off-the-wall ones that you’re gonna have done out on the road.

Darren:
You’re gonna moderate those things.

David:
Stand out of the way of a moving truck.

Jenny:
That’s gonna be great. Congratulations.

David:
Thank you. That’s all of our news, I think. Are you guys ready for some trivia?

William:
Is that it? That’s it?

Nicole:
No, but let’s go.

Yvie:
Just some minor news.

Nicole:
I’m scared.

David:
Rules apply from last time, whereby each individual person gets a question. The next person in the lineup gets to steal, but we are changing the nature. Also, difficulty is easy, medium, and hard. One, two, and three points will apply as last time. If you pick a hard question and you get it right, you win yourself three points. The way that we’re gonna start is gonna be a little bit different. Fans, if you wanna submit trivia questions in the chat right now, you’re more than welcome to do that. It’s Antony and Tracy that’s running it, Sommer?

Sommer:
I believe so. I know Tracy’s there for sure.

David:
All right, so Antony and Tracy.

Jenny:
Antony is too.

Sommer:
He is. I just saw it.

David:
You guys, keep that in mind, if anyone submits a trivia question that you think would be solid for the group, go ahead and put it in the page that we have. But we’re starting off a little bit differently. The photo that I just showed you, remember, of the X-699?

Jenny:
Yup.

David:
That was introduced in Season 10. Does anyone remember the episode?

Sommer:
I don’t know the name.

David:
“Bounty.” It’s in “Bounty.”

Nicole:
It was in “Bounty.” Yes. ‘Cause “Chimera,” they were showing the whole thing on stage.

David:
That’s right.

Nicole:
Silly me.

David:
Propworx sold this in a live auction in September of 2010. The X-699 rifle, Lot 675, is a light-up experimental weapon with included remotes, developed by Dr. Bill Lee and Colonel Samantha Carter. This weapon was introduced in the SG-1 Season 10 Episode “Bounty” and used again in “Continuum.” Carter and Lee demonstrated the weapon at an applied technologies convention where the device was supposed to short circuit, but Sam was forced to use it to defend herself. Vala later wields the rifle in the opening of “Continuum.” Prop includes two remotes with a variety of settings, including a short circuit command to make the lights flicker before dying. Rifle is made of rigid foam with a metal housing for the barrel and removable plastic panels revealing a set of control crystals on the inside, which were never used in the show. Measures 47 inches by 12… Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Estimated sale price was between $1,000 and $2,000, so we’re gonna do this Price is Right style. What did the item sell for? Estimated value was between $1,000 and $2,000.

Sommer:
$1,725 bucks. Ducks? No, not ducks. I don’t think ducks were…

Jenny:
1025

Sommer:
…not the best currency.

David:
1725?

Sommer:
1725. That’s my guess.

Jenny:
Got it.

Nicole:
I’m going 6969

Allan:
I’ll go 3500.

Jenny:
Allan, that was you, 3500?

Allan:
Yep.

Sommer:
Wait, you said between 1000 and 2000?

David:
That was what I estimated it would go for.

Nicole:
It went way over.

Sommer:
I see. OK.

David:
But did it?

William:
Claudia Black touched it, so I think it’s gonna be more dollars.

Nicole:
Claudi Black touched it. It’s definitely 6969.

William:
That’s my wager.

Sommer:
OK, I’m already misunderstanding the rules.

Jenny:
No, you did fine. William, what was yours?

William:
$7,001. United States dollars, to be respectful to our national…

Nicole:
That’s close to my 6969, bro. You’re getting a bit close to my comfort zone.

Jenny:
All right, Yvie, I need you, baby.

Yvie:
I will go with 4567.

Jenny:
OK. Linda?

Linda:
6789. No.

Jenny:
Oh my God. Frederick?

Frederick:
I’ll go 5001.

Jenny:
OK. Oof

Nicole:
This is where it comes down… Is it actually a hundred bucks.

David:
Darren, you’re on the line.

Darren:
I’m down here around Allan, who was at about 3500, but I wanna go 4400.

David:
All right. So, the sale price of the X-699 rifle, also known by production as the Big Effing Gun, the BFG, was $4000.

Nicole:
Dammit. Who got that?

Yvie:
Wow.

David:
Darren.

Nicole:
Nice, Darren.

David:
Darren’s going first.

Yvie:
Good job.

Sommer:
Good job.

David:
Then I believe Allan?

Jenny:
Allan?

David:
was $500 off. Yvie, 567 and then Frederick was 1001. Right down the line, based on… Actually, you’re on the same line here as you were in our spreadsheet. 2200 was Sommer, 2789 was Linda, 2969 was Nicole.

Sommer:
2969.

David:
And William was 3001 off.

Nicole:
William, you and me down here at the bottom, mate.

David:
All right.

William:
Good to be here.

David:
You wanna load those up top? There we go.

Jenny:
Yep.

David:
Sweet.

Jenny:
Hold on one sec. Give me one sec.

David:
So, the play order will be Darren, Allan, Yvie, Frederick, Sommer, Linda, Nicole and William.

Akos:
I’m also here, by the way.

Sommer:
I was gonna say, “What about Akos?”

David:
Akos. Why didn’t you say something?

Akos:
I said as high as 9000, but it was way over to win.

David:
What were you gonna bet?

Darren:
Say 4000 right now. Say 4000.

Akos:
9000.

David:
You were gonna bet 9000?

Akos:
Yeah.

Nicole:
So, he’s at the bottom of the barrel with me and William.

David:
You’re at the bottom anyway.

Jenny:
Ah.

David:
I feel terrible.

Nicole:
No, it’s okay. You’re trying to manage lots of people. It’s okay.

David:
I know, but you think I could count.

Sommer:
We’re a lot to handle.

David:
God’s sakes.

Nicole:
I don’t wanna talk about the first trivia night where you couldn’t count and you put me somewhere in the wrong place. I got very grumpy with you.

David:
Gosh.

Jenny:
Are we gonna whine about this? Seriously.

Nicole:
Jenny!

Jenny:
I love you. You know I do.

David:
All right. Darren and Akos, thank you for being honest. Darren, Allan, Yvie, Frederick, Sommer, Linda, Nicole, William and Akos. All right. We’ve got nine players here. I have about five rounds of questions for everybody and then anything that the fans create. Are we good?

Jenny:
I’m here to keep you honest. Not you, Darren.

Darren:
Don’t need it.

Jenny:
David, everybody else. I get to be referee.

David:
All right. We all set?

William:
So ready.

Darren:
I’m set.

David:
OK. Darren, easy, medium, or hard question?

Darren:
You know me. I want a hard question.

David:
OK. He’s going with hard.

Darren:
Just not a number.

Jenny:
I’m sorry, David, confirming easy at one, two, three?

David:
Yeah.

Jenny:
OK, got it.

David:
So, this is the three points. If he gets it right, the next person will have the option of stealing. Darren, Selmak was responsible for curing Jacob of what kind of cancer?

Darren:
Jacob had lymphoma.

David:
That’s right.

Jenny:
Woo!

David:
Three points for Darren. Very good.

Sommer:
Nice. Very nice.

Darren:
Nicole’s here. I came to play.

Nicole:
I’m at the bottom.

Jenny:
That’s why I’m not playing. Let’s be honest.

David:
Come on. You’re not playing ’cause you’re the only one with threats.

Jenny:
William sent me a private message? Hey, William. Nice. I can’t say it.

Yvie:
I just saw that too. It’s inappropriate. Ugh.

David:
He got that one. Allan, are you ready, sir?

Allan:
Hello. I’m ready.

David:
OK. Would you like a one, two, or a three?

Allan:
Give me a one.

David:
We’re gonna start off with a one. Allan, over the course of SG-1, what state was Jack trying to get his teammates to join him for a fishing getaway?

Allan:
Was it Minnesota?

David:
Yes!

Jenny:
Yay.

Nicole:
Good job.

David:
Three points for Allan. Hip, hip, hooray.

Sommer:
Woo!

Nicole:
One point? Wasn’t that a one-point question?

David:
No, one point for Allan, yes.

Nicole:
Come on, guys. Be honest.

Yvie:
Do me and Yvie get bonus points for waking up at this ungodly hour?

Nicole:
I was gonna say.

Yvie:
I haven’t even been to bed.

David:
And you’re gonna be doing that every Monday morning.

Nicole:
I know.

Yvie:
Commitment.

David:
Wormhole X-Tremists shows will be on Sundays. Dial the Gate shows will be on Saturdays.

Nicole:
Nice plug.

David:
All of these questions for this episode, I went ahead and created. There were a lot of fan questions that were submitted this past week and Linda has been organizing others as well. We will use them in the future, but everything that’s on screen here was from my noggin, with the exception of a couple of answers that I had to verify, but pretty much everything else is me. If they suck, you don’t have far to go to blame. All right. Allan, very good. Now we’ve got Yvie.

Yvie:
It’s me.

David:
Are you ready?

Yvie:
One, please. Yes.

David:
You would like a one. All right.

Yvie:
I would like a one, please.

David:
You shall have a one. In “The Ark of Truth,” who heals Teal’c of his injuries on the plains of Celestis?

Nicole:
You’ve got this. Please.

Yvie:
No. I don’t remember.

Nicole:
Come on. You can do it.

Yvie:
No, I’m a terrible fan. I’ll have to pass. I don’t remember.

Nicole:
Who’s stealing?

David:
Frederick gets a chance to steal. Frederick?

Frederick:
I think I know it.

Nicole:
I think you got this.

Frederick:
It’s Morgan le Fay.

David:
He’s correct.

William:
Ganos Lai.

David:
I was waiting for someone else to say yes.

Jenny:
Would we have gotten a bonus point for Ganos Lai?

David:
I was like “No, it’s my job to say yes.”

Frederick:
It’s Ganos Lai.

David:
Who said Ganos Lai?

Frederick:
It’s the Ancient name.

Nicole:
We did. My friend just said Squidward. He’s referring to Nem from that one episode of “Fire and Water.”

Jenny:
Ah! That’s awesome!

Nicole:
‘Cause he really hates that episode. That’s so good.

David:
“What fate Omoroka.”

Jenny:
“What fate Omoroka?” Someone needs to make a Squidward Omoroka T-shirt. That’d be hilarious.

Nicole:
Someone do that. I’ll wear it.

David:
All right. That was a steal. Give me a second here. I’m changing screens over here for everybody. All right. Good job. OK, Sommer.

Sommer:
1.5 or a .5 question, please. One.

David:
All right. Let’s start you off at a one.

Darren:
Did she pick a regular question?

David:
Yeah, a one. In which episode did Harry Maybourne directly cooperate with Samantha Carter to solve a crisis?

Sommer:
I cannot do episode names, so I’m gonna tell you right now, I have no clue. Sorry.

Jenny:
Linda. Linda’s up.

David:
Linda is up. Linda, would you like to steal?

Linda:
No. Come on. Nicole, that means you’re up, baby. Do I get to steal? You get to steal.

David:
Before we didn’t. That would be it, but if we wanna keep going…

Nicole:
Do I still get to do my question afterwards?

David:
No. You can either steal it, or…

Jenny:
Or we just let it go.

Nicole:
But it’s a level one. It’s a level one question? You know what? Nah, put it in the bin. I know the answer, but I don’t want the points. Put it in the bin.

David:
So, what was the answer, folks?

Nicole:
The answer was “Foothold.”

William:
“Maybourne, you are an idiot every day of the week. Why couldn’t you have just taken one day off?”

David:
That’s correct. That’s exactly right. “That’s insubordination, Major. Jeez.”

Darren:
Does Linda get a question if she passed?

Nicole:
It’s Linda, isn’t it? ‘Cause she was after?

David:
Yeah, but now that you passed.

Darren:
She turned it down.

Linda:
I didn’t wanna steal.

Jenny:
But then it’s Linda’s question ’cause it was Sommer who passed it to Linda.

David:
That’s a good point. Linda-

Sommer:
It should be Linda’s turn.

David:
That’s great. Man.

Linda:
Easy, the easiest you’ve got.

David:
So, you got a one. OK, good. Yes, thank you, everybody, for keeping us on track here. Linda, you wanna do a one question? What artifact was removed from Madrona in Season Two of SG-1?

Linda:
Is that the weather device?

David:
Yes.

Linda:
Does it have a name?

David:
Yes.

Nicole:
Yes.

David:
It’s also the name of the episode.

Linda:
Come on, Linda.

David:
Easy, Nic.

Linda:
I’m very bad at trivia.

David:
She says during trivia.

Linda:
During trivia, I’m very bad at this. I go blank.

David:
It’s like looking at the sun and then trying to stare at something else. I can’t see it until the sun goes away.

Linda:
The second you tell me I’ll be like, “Oh, yeah. Right.”

Nicole:
Say anything. It might be in there and you might say it. It might pop into your fron.

David:
It’ll pop into my fron.

Linda:
The fantastic weather device from Madrona.

Jenny:
I love that.

Sommer:
That’s its new name, but no.

David:
Nicole’s not gonna steal a one.

Nicole:
I’m not stealing a pathetic one.

Jenny:
No!

David:
Hey, now… Look, settle down now.

Nicole:
Sorry, guys. Sorry, I came here to win. I can’t win with ones

Sommer:
I won with ones last time. I did.

David:
Hello, Cat.

Nicole:
Are we letting the next person steal ’cause I’m skipping?

Linda:
She might know the answer.

David:
Geez. All right, it was the Touchstone.

Nicole:
OK.

Linda:
The touchstone.

David:
All right. Nicole, you want a two or a three?

Nicole:
I want a two. Let’s do a medium.

David:
OK. Who supplies the nukes that Atlantis uses against the Wraith in “The Siege?”

Nicole:
The Genii.

David:
All right.

William:
Very good.

David:
Two points.

Nicole:
I watched a clip of it yesterday, ’cause I was like, “Man, “The Siege” is so good.”

David:
There we go.

Nicole:
I was like, “Oh, what a good moment.”

David:
There we go. All right. William?

William:
Hi.

David:
Hi, how are you?

William:
I’m doing good, how are you?

David:
I’m well. Give us a fact about nuclear power.

William:
A fact about nuclear power. If an average person’s entire electricity consumption over their lifetime was solely by nuclear power, it would create an amount of waste, in volume, roughly equal to that of an American baseball.

David:
Wow.

Yvie:
Wow.

David:
That’s incredible.

William:
The power of the atom, my friends.

David:
The power of the atom. William, would you like a easy, medium or hard?

Darren:
That’s three points right there.

William:
I’d like to warm up with a two, please.

David:
OK, you have a two. What television series, in “200,” did Martin Lloyd have to admit to Vala he had never heard of?

William:
That would be Farscape.

David:
That’s right.

William:
OK, you got me on that one.

Sommer:
I wanted that one. I needed that one.

Nicole:
Great question.

Sommer:
I love it.

William:
Very good question.

David:
Easy, medium and hard. I did my best to organize appropriately, but some people are gonna be like, “This is not that level of question.”

Nicole:
I think everyone has different sensibilities.

Sommer:
I agree. See, I would consider every episode question hard.

David:
See, that’s the thing.

Nicole:
And I consider every episode question easy.

David:
Akos, my long-lost friend, Akos… easy, medium, or hard?

Akos:
Let’s see a hard question.

David:
What is Simon Wallace’s excuse for not traveling to Atlantis with Weir in Season Two?

Akos:
There was no excuse. She just left a message for him.

David:
Season Two.

Akos:
Season Two, I think.

David:
“The Intruder.” They’re in the kitchen; they’re having an argument. He gives a couple of different excuses; I’ll take any of them. One of them is the bombshell, but I’ll take any of them.

Akos:
I don’t remember that scene. I’m sorry for that.

David:
Wow. OK.

Nicole:
Who’s stealing?

David:
Darren is stealing if he wants it.

Nicole:
No! Come on.

David:
Darren, do you want a three?

Akos:
Sorry.

Darren:
I’m thinking about it. It’s been a lot of years since I saw The Intruder.

Nicole:
No.

Akos:
It has.

Nicole:
Do we get to keep on going?

David:
Nope.

Jenny:
Nope.

Nicole:
Damn it.

David:
Nope, trivia ends now. We’re done.

Darren:
It would be an educated guess, but I think for three points I wanna go for it. Let’s see what happens.

Nicole:
You!

Darren:
“Intruder” was like 2005. I might not have seen this for 15 years or so.

David:
It’s Episode 202.

Darren:
Let’s say Simon tells Elizabeth that he’s met someone else.

David:
Yup.

Nicole:
That was one of them, wasn’t it?

Sommer:
Yup. The other one was he has patients and he has research.

Frederick:
And research.

David:
Hey, there you go.

Jenny:
The work, man.

Frederick:
I remember both of them.

David:
All right, nice guys.

Nicole:
That was one of the only ones about him that I would’ve known because I did not like his character, obviously.

William:
The only line I vividly remember from that whole episode is, “Oh, crap, indeed.”

David:
That’s it.

Darren:
All I remember is being at a convention and somebody asked Amanda about Garwin Sanford being on Atlantis and she didn’t know. Her response was, “Garwin Sanford was on Atlantis?”

Yvie:
That’s amazing.

David:
We’re at the beginning of round two. Darren has six, Nicole has two, William has two and Allan has one so far.

Nicole:
That’s ’cause Darren got to steal, so let’s remember that he would be at three right now.

David:
Correct.

Jenny:
And Frederick has one.

Frederick:
OK, that was my question.

Jenny:
Yep, you have one, babes. Gotcha.

David:
Allan?

Allan:
I’m back.

David:
Yes, sir.

Allan:
Give me a two.

David:
A two.

Allan:
Yes.

David:
Allan, whose ashes is Elizabeth spreading on the wind at the end of “Before I Sleep?”

Nicole:
Such a good question.

David:
Thank you.

Jenny:
That’s a great question.

Allan:
It’s gonna be such a bad answer though.

Darren:
I can’t even remember that.

William:
I love this episode.

Nicole:
It’s deceptively simple.

David:
I love this episode. Deceptively simple, true. Although, that’s “The Quest.”

Allan:
I don’t know. I’m passing.

Nicole:
Who gets to steal this?

David:
Jenny?

Jenny:
Yvie.

Allan:
Yvie.

Yvie:
I will be passing on that one, sorry.

David:
Who knows it? What’s the answer?

Nicole:
Me.

David:
Nicole?

Frederick:
I know too.

Sommer:
I know. I know. I know.

David:
It’s been passed, so I can’t give it to anybody.

Sommer:
It’s her herself?

David:
Yup.

Nicole:
Yup.

Frederick:
Her whole self.

Nicole:
Ancient her.

David:
Yup.

Nicole:
That’s why it was an easy answer. Deceptively simple.

David:
Except that it’s not.

Nicole:
No. I think it’s always in the question, which is why it’s funny.

Sommer:
Nobody expects somebody to bury themselves.

David:
See, that’s my point. Yvie? Would you like a one, a two, or a three?

Yvie:
Hello. I would like an easy one, please.

David:
All right. Yvie, what decision at Stargate Command saved Teal’c and Bra’tac’s life at end of “The Changeling?”

Yvie:
What decision?

David:
See, I hate proper noun questions. I love having to articulate an answer.

Yvie:
What saved them?

David:
What decision at Stargate Command saved Teal’c and Bra’tac’s life at the end of The Changeling in Season Six?

Yvie:
Decision. I know that they were passing a symbiote, weren’t they? They were sharing a symbiote.

David:
Sure, during the episode, but in the end what was the ultimate solution?

Sommer:
Come on, Yvie.

Nicole:
Come on, girl.

Frederick:
The symbiote was dying.

David:
How did they get out of that? How did they not die? They were sent back to Stargate Command.

Nicole:
One symbiote between them. What’s the solution?

Yvie:
Can you see my brain ticking over?

Jenny:
Totally. Gears are going.

Yvie:
Gears are going but nothing’s happening. No, I can’t think.

David:
OK. That’s all right. Frederick, it’s yours to steal if you want it. Or do you want a two or a three?

Frederick:
I wanted a three but at the same time I know the answer.

David:
You don’t have to steal it. We’re still gonna reveal the answer.

Nicole:
The free point is pretty nice.

Frederick:
Yeah, the three point is more interesting. I’ll leave it.

David:
OK. What was the solution? Anyone wanna call it? Linda. Yes.

Linda:
It’s the Tretonin.

Frederick:
They asked the Tok’ra for their first batch.

Nicole:
Yvie, it’s the drug that they use constantly around the show so that Teal’c doesn’t need a symbiote to rely on anymore.

David:
We’re good.

Yvie:
I did think of that but I didn’t think it happened then.

Nicole:
It doesn’t come up often.

David:
It’s all right. Exactly.

Nicole:
But it’s there.

Frederick:
It comes from the other episode though, huh?

Nicole:
Yeah, “Cure.”

David:
Frederick, do you want a two or a three, buddy?

Frederick:
Let’s go with a two for the first one.

David:
You want a two?

Frederick:
Yeah.

David:
OK. Whose poster is on Sheppard’s wall in Atlantis?

Frederick:
Johnny Cash.

Yvie:
I know the answer to this.

Frederick:
I knew that instantly.

William:
Very good.

David:
It didn’t even take a second.

Nicole:
Brilliant. Brilliant.

Frederick:
I discovered Johnny Cash because of that poster.

David:
Oh, man.

William:
Same here.

Jenny:
Did you really?

William:
Yeah. Absolutely.

Sommer:
Wow.

Nicole:
Really? Wow.

Jenny:
You guys.

Frederick:
I’m young and didn’t know Johnny Cash.

Jenny:
You’re from the south.

Frederick:
He’s been dead for 20 years.

David:
I know, but still.

Jenny:
For Frederick it makes sense, but William, you’re from the south.

William:
Let me be clear, Jenny. I discovered not hardcore country Johnny Cash, the American albums Johnny Cash. Thanks to that and “Vegas” doing Solitary Man.

David:
Solitary Man. All right. Who’s next after Frederick?

Jenny:
Sommer.

David:
Sommer, a one, a two, or a three?

Sommer:
One.

Nicole:
Wanting a one.

Sommer:
I tried to retire; you wouldn’t let me. I went one last time. I wanted to retire so I could go out on a win, but no, here I am. So, a one.

David:
Sommer, when Daniel becomes mortal again in “Threads,” what does Jack provide him to cover himself?

Sommer:
A flag.

David:
There we go, but flag of what?

Sommer:
What? The SGC flag.

David:
There we go.

Jenny:
Woo hoo!

Nicole:
I love the way he looks at the American flag and he goes, “Uh,” and then has to. He’s like, “I don’t wanna offend anybody.”

David:
Not that one.

Sommer:
Wow. Not gonna deface the American flag. Here you go.

Nicole:
Although, I think none of us would mind. My problem is with the SGC.

Sommer:
Just the SGC on that one.

David:
All right. OK, we’ve got Sommer, now we’ve got Linda. Jenny, if you could start calling them out for me ’cause I stupidly put it on a second Google Sheet so I’m toggling back and forth.

Jenny:
Oh no, I’ll just tell you. Linda, you’re up.

David:
Thank you.

Frederick:
You can move around those cameras. Actually, you can move them in the order that we’re all playing. It’s easier.

David:
I bet. That’s on the second screen though. So, I have to switch over to a second screen. This is all technical jargon. All right, so Linda, would you like a one, a two, or a three?

Linda:
Let’s try a two because the one was so bad.

Sommer:
I like it. Let’s go.

David:
Linda, why does the Brotherhood take the newly discovered Zero Point Module back from McKay?

Linda:
Is it their religious artifact?

David:
You could argue that, but that’s not the reason why.

Linda:
That’s not the reason.

David:
Technically… Give me more.

William:
There was a hardcore reason, though.

David:
Technically no, it’s not a religion. They function very much like a religious order. They just don’t worship the Ancients.

William:
They call it the Potentia, didn’t they?

Linda:
I haven’t seen this since it originally aired.

David:
Yes, that’s correct. Potentia.

Linda:
It’s not the one that’s rigged to explode.

David:
“We’ll take this from you. We’ll blow it up ourselves.” No.

Linda:
They need it to power something?

David:
Good, good, good answer though. Jenny, who can steal?

Nicole:
Wait, wait, wait. Who gets to steal?

Jenny:
Nicole gets to steal.

Nicole:
Ugh.

David:
Nicole, do you want a two?

Nicole:
Hold on, hold on. If I steal this and I get it wrong, do I still get to do an opportunity to try and do my own one?

David:
No.

Jenny:
No.

Nicole:
Crap.

David:
You have to pass.

Nicole:
But you know what?

Jenny:
This is your question.

Nicole:
I think I know the answer. However, I’m paranoid that I’m wrong so I’m gonna say no.

David:
OK. So, what would you have said? I’m curious.

Nicole:
Honestly, I barely remember. I just remember being grumpy by the end of the episode ’cause they’ve spent all this time getting the ZPM.

Frederick:
‘Cause McKay didn’t show.

David:
William, what’s the answer, buddy?

Nicole:
OK. I was gonna say. Go.

William:
The lore was that they were to retain custody until the Ancients themselves came to retrieve it.

David:
And they aren’t the Ancients.

Nicole:
I would’ve gotten that wrong.

Frederick:
They thought so until McKay spoke.

David:
McKay was running his mouth off. They’re like, “What’s it like growing up in Atlantis?” He’s like, “I didn’t grow up in Atlantis.”

Nicole:
That was a really good question. Tough one.

David:
Thank you.

Frederick:
I liked that one.

William:
I love that episode. It was great.

Nicole:
Great.

David:
All right. OK, Nicole, would you like a one, a two, or a three?

Nicole:
God, I didn’t even know that two. Just give me a three.

David:
OK.

Darren:
Do it.

David:
Nicole, a sucker for punishment, glutton for punishment. What video game does Teal’c reveal he played in Season Eight’s “Avatar?”

Nicole:
Death Jam Vendetta.

David:
Woo, three.

Jenny:
Wow.

Nicole:
Kept saying it and me being like, “Hey.”

William:
Really good.

Darren:
What’s the behind-the-scenes reason for that shout out to Death Jam Vendetta?

Nicole:
Pardon?

Jenny:
You know that story?

Sommer:
I don’t, I wanna know.

William:
It wasn’t the same developer that was working on the Stargate game, was it?

Darren:
Why did that video game get a shout out?

David:
Darren, go ahead and explain.

Nicole:
I think I know the answer, but go.

Darren:
Chris Judge did voice work for it.

Nicole:
That’s awesome.

Sommer:
That would make sense.

David:
It was hip hop and wrestling. Interesting combination.

Nicole:
What a great way to plug something else you’re working on.

Frederick:
Now he’s Kratos.

David:
Now he’s Kratos.

Nicole:
And now he’s Kratos.

David:
And I think he’s working on another one, isn’t he?

Nicole:
The second Kratos.

William:
He did the voice for Black Panther on the Marvel The Avengers.

David:
He did.

Nicole:
He did?

Frederick:
He did.

William:
Yeah.

David:
It’s the reason why he couldn’t come on the show in Season One.

Nicole:
How dare he have work?

Jenny:
Or Season Two. But now we’re gonna get him for Season Three, so it’s all good.

David:
I sure hope so. All right, who’s next, Jenny?

Jenny:
William! Ba, da, da, da, da.

David:
William, good sir.

Jenny:
William.

David:
What do you want?

William:
Let’s go for a three. I’ll try.

David:
William.

William:
Yeah.

David:
Who was the only member of SG-9 left alive in “The Sentinel?”

Jenny:
Ah man.

William:
I’m gonna say everyone’s favorite character, Smith.

David:
Smith?

William:
Smith.

Nicole:
I think I know this answer.

William:
Smith.

David:
That’s your final answer?

William:
That is my final answer.

David:
What’s funny is we had seen this character before and he was always the first one to die in simulations.

Nicole:
That’s the joke that I made when I watched it the other day.

David:
And then he’s the only one who survived, so Frederick?

Nicole:
Who’s stealing? Who’s stealing?

David:
Frederick, whoa, wow. Who can steal Jenny?

Jenny:
Akos can steal.

David:
Akos.

Jenny:
Akos, sorry.

Akos:
No, I don’t…

David:
You don’t know this one?

Nicole:
Dammit.

Akos:
No.

David:
OK. Frederick, who was it?

Frederick:
I don’t remember either. I don’t remember his name.

David:
I thought you did.

William:
No, I know exactly who he is I got his face, but not his name.

David:
OK, Nicole.

Nicole:
Does anybody know that isn’t me? It was Grogan.

David:
I think Darren knows.

Nicole:
Lieutenant Grogan.

David:
David Kopp’s character.

Nicole:
I loved him. He was such a doofus and really cute.

David:
I wish we had him back.

Darren:
He was a great character.

David:
That was a great character. All right, Akos.

Akos:
That’s a hard question because if I choose the hard questions, then we will win the game for that.

David:
That’s the question you must ask yourself. What do I want?

Jenny:
Go for a one.

Akos:
A medium one.

David:
You want a medium?

Akos:
Medium.

David:
Akos, why didn’t Colonel Telford join the Icarus base personnel on Destiny at the end of “Air Part One?”

Akos:
Because he was flying with the fighter.

David:
That’s right.

Jenny:
Good job. Woo, woo, woo, woo.

Akos:
Whew. Thank you.

Nicole:
I could feel you sweating from here.

David:
It’s OK. Jenny?

Jenny:
All right, next up we’re gonna do round three for Darren.

David:
What are our scores right now?

Jenny:
Give me a second and I’ll do that. I didn’t have it totaled in our sum of the Microsoft Excel, but give me one second.

David:
No, it’s sum, the total is on the end.

Jenny:
How cool. That’s even better.

David:
Darren is six. Nicole is five. Frederick is three. William is two and Allan and Sommer are one.

Akos:
And Akos is?

Jenny:
He’s two.

David:
Akos is two. We have to update the cell. There we go, perfect. All right.

Nicole:
My dad’s talking in the chat saying, “I have no idea but she knows everything. She’s my spawn.” Thanks, Dad.

Jenny:
Woo hoo,

Nicole:
Hi Dad.

David:
That’s funny.

Frederick:
My spawn.

Nicole:
Hi, Dad.

David:
All right. Who’s next? Is it Darren?

Jenny:
Darren, yeah.

David:
OK, Darren, what do you want, buddy?

Darren:
I’m up. I’m gonna go for a two this time. Keep things interesting.

David:
While waiting for the rest of SG-1 in a cargo ship in “Descent,” what does Jonas snack on?

William:
Can you repeat the question?

David:
While waiting for the rest of SG-1 in a cargo ship in Descent… I poorly framed this sentence.

Nicole:
He’s also with Teal’c.

Darren:
While waiting for the rest of SG-1 but Teal’c is with him?

David:
Yes.

Nicole:
Yes.

David:
Other members of SG1, while he and Teal’c are in a cargo ship in descent. What is Jonas eating?

Darren:
He’s eating a banana.

David:
Nanu-nanu.

Sommer:
Na, na, na, ooh, na, na.

Jenny:
Was that a one or a two?

David:
That’s a two.

Jenny:
It’s a two, gotcha.

Darren:
You gotta wonder as an actor, how many of those bananas Corin went through on that day?

Nicole:
He’s a cool guy. Maybe he had a bucket to spit them out in.

David:
Probably. They do. Often. All right.

Jenny:
Allan, you are up next.

Allan:
OK, give me a really easy two, like the easy two you just gave Darren.

David:
OK, Allan, what species provides us the chemical Daniel uses to go undercover in the System Lord Summit?

Allan:
Species?

David:
I’m not gonna make you pronounce his name.

Darren:
But you’re giving him a proper noun. I got banana.

Allan:
This isn’t a two, this is a three.

David:
It’s quite possible.

Allan:
And the banana was a one. It was given to him by the Tok’ra, that’s all I remember.

David:
Technically, the question could be interpreted that way.

Sommer:
Can you repeat the question?

David:
What species provide us the chemical Daniel uses to go undercover in the System Lord Summit? Should we go ahead and give that to him, guys?

Yvie:
I think so.

Nicole:
No, no, no, no! That’s not an answer.

David:
It is an answer.

Nicole:
But it’s not the answer.

Sommer:
It is.

David:
But there’s two answers, the Reol and the Tok’ra.

Nicole:
I knew it was the Reol and if you’d asked me that and I got two and he answered that.

David:
But you didn’t ask, you didn’t get the question.

Nicole:
It’s not fair.

David:
I think because they refined it. You know what?

Jenny:
How about we give him one point?

David:
I’m gonna give him one.

Jenny:
Give him one point.

David:
Let’s give him one.

Nicole:
I’m OK with that.

David:
I’m glad you are.

Jenny:
Phew, Jesus, Nicole.

William:
These re-watches are gonna be great. Gonna be really ugly.

Nicole:
I wouldn’t stand for that; that’s quite a difficult question.

Sommer:
Let’s take a shot every time Nicole protests.

Nicole:
Actually, no, Allan, sorry, you know what?

William:
I’m gotta work on Monday.

Nicole:
I should be nicer, I’m sorry.

Jenny:
I know, if we had to take a shot every time, we’d all be drunk. Oh my God.

David:
All right.

Nicole:
We bled even.

David:
OK, who’s after Allan?

Jenny:
Yvie, you’re up, baby.

Yvie:
Think it’s me.

David:
What would you like?

Yvie:
One, please.

David:
Yvie, what ritual do the Goa’uld perform every night of the System Lord Summit?

Yvie:
The System Lord Summit.

David:
Same two-parter.

Yvie:
Don’t they rip their heads off the symbiotes? Did I get a point?

David:
Yes.

Nicole:
And then what do they do after? That’s good

David:
It’s cannibalism. The ritual is cannibalism.

David:
Rob and I discussed it in the episode that we aired.

Frederick:
There was no name for that ritual though.

David:
I didn’t need a name; I just needed description.

Frederick:
But I don’t think they ever mentioned it.

Jenny:
I don’t remember there being a name.

David:
The ritual is cannibalism.

Jenny:
But was there?

William:
I think in Goa’uld it’s the ritual of nom nom nom. That’s all it is.

David:
There is something that Ba’al says before the ring transporters come in and bring them. That could’ve been its name, but I’m not gonna have anyone translate it from Goa’uld.

Darren:
I think it’s Goa’uld for “Give me something good.”

Daivd:
Yvie gets a point.

Allan:
Yvie’s on the board.

David:
Yvie, all right.

Nicole:
That was pretty good.

Jenny:
I want someone to translate nom nom nom into Ancient.

David:
Frederick.

Sommer:
Nom nom si.

David:
What do you want, buddy?

Jenny:
Frederick, you’re up, babe.

Frederick:
Let’s go with three.

David:
Frederick, what did Colonel Young invite Camille Wray to gift him for Christmas?

Frederick:
I think it’s socks.

David:
Yes.

Nicole:
Yes, because they’re cold.

Jenny:
Nice.

Sommer:
It’s great.

Nicole:
What a fantastic one.

David:
If you want a dress you gotta give me for Christmas, I need socks.

Frederick:
I rewatched Universe with my girlfriend recently so that was the episode that was fresh in my head.

David:
Absolutely. That’s fair.

Jenny:
That was a one?

Sommer:
She was gonna give him a baby.

David:
That was a three.

Jenny:
That was a three, gotcha.

Nicole:
That was a three, that was brutal. It was a Universe one.

David:
That’s very specific. Sommer.

Sommer:
Two, being brave.

David:
Two, give a two to Sommer. In the beginning of SGU’s “Pain,” Lieutenant James believes she has killed which member of the Destiny crew?

Nicole:
I know this.

David:
But it’s not your question, Nicole.

Nicole:
I know, I’m getting annoyed.

Sommer:
I don’t watch SGU

David:
Why not?

Sommer:
Eli? I don’t know. I honestly, SGU is out of my league.

David:
That’s fair. Linda, you get to steal.

Linda:
Scott, it was Scott.

David:
Whoo! Linda is in play.

Jenny:
Linda!

Linda:
I saw that last week. I’m so proud of myself. I’m so proud.

Sommer:
Linda! Good job

David:
Yep.

Sommer:
Glad I could help you out.

David:
She was missing her closet encounters, so to speak, when she clocked him on the side of the head. I forget what she used, I think she used a kino.

Nicole:
It was her little lamp by her desk.

David:
The lamp.

Jenny:
That’s right.

David:
Rush and Young fight with a kino.

Jenny:
Nicole, it’s your turn.

Sommer:
Whoo-hoo!

Nicole:
Huh, is it?

David:
Yeah.

Nicole:
I forgot.

David:
So, the next one, if you know this one, you get to use it. All right, one, two, or three?

Nicole:
Three was quite tough, but you know what? I think I’ll risk it with another three.

David:
Nicole, according to the tabloid in SG-1’s “Point of No Return,” where was the headless alien found?

Nicole:
Wow, man! Wow! What episode was it again?

David:
“Point of No Return.”

Allan:
I know.

David:
Allan knows it.

Jenny:
Did you know that one? That is brilliant.

Nicole:
It was Season Four?

David:
I love this moment from the show.

Nicole:
But I’m not gonna lie.

David:
There’s nothing in this scene that isn’t perfect, with the vibrating bed and O’Neill making that noise.

Jenny:
No, it is brilliant.

Nicole:
Where specifically? Is it a state, a country? How broad am I allowed to go?

David:
It’s a place that people go.

Nicole:
Place that people go?

David:
Yes.

Darren:
Just finish the headline.

David:
Headless alien found in blank, blank.

Nicole:
Bathroom stall.

David:
Not bad.

Nicole:
I didn’t remember. Wait a minute, it gets to pass on to someone else, doesn’t it?

David:
Yeah, William.

Jenny:
Yes, William can pick it up.

William:
I could throw a guess, but I’m gonna take a pass on that.

Jenny:
OK. All right.

David:
Allan knows the answer. Allan, what is it?

Nicole:
Come on, Allan.

Darren:
Allan.

Frederick:
Roswell.

Allan:
Strip Club.

David:
What?

Darren:
No.

Allan:
A strip club.

Darren:
No, a topless bar.

David:
But what’s the headline?

Darren:
Headless alien found in topless bar.

Allan:
Topless bar. Close.

Nicole:
Me being me, I really feel like I should’ve known that answer.

Jenny:
I know.

David:
I figured you would know it as well.

Nicole:
It’s brutal.

David:
All right.

Frederick:
Maybe I’ll re-watch that episode too.

Sommer:
Love it, brutal. No tears here, brutal.

Nicole:
Did I say brutal instead of brutal?

Sommer:
Brutal, nope, no. Brutal.

William:
I’m going to maintain solidarity with Nicole and give me a three here.

Jenny:
Yup, it’s William.

David:
You wanna go with three? OK.

Nicole:
Yes, William, thank you.

David:
William, in SGU’s “Blockade,” Camille Wray says she would kill for what?

William:
I love that episode too. Gosh, I know what I wanna say. I don’t think it’s right. This is when they’re on that evacuated…

David:
“Oh my god, we dialed Pittsburgh.”

Nicole:
God, that roast, that was so good.

William:
I think this is wrong. I’ve got two good guesses, but I’m gonna go with a change of clothes.

David:
Yes.

Nicole:
New outfit.

William:
‘Cause Young goes and gets her clothes later in the episode.

David:
You got it, buddy.

Nicole:
Nice. William, my man, mad respect.

Sommer:
That was great, Will, that was great.

Jenny:
All right, Akos, we’re up next.

Akos:
Medium.

David:
Medium.

Akos:
Very good.

David:
He will go for his steak medium. Akos, what film does Nicholas Rush reference in SGU Season One’s “Time?”

Jenny:
Oh, that’s so good. God, that’s good.

David:
William, you got the last one, stand down.

William:
At least I’m staying muted, unlike someone else.

David:
Hey, there we go. “Unlike someone else.”

Yvie:
Burn.

Akos:
Back to the Future.

David:
What was it?

Akos:
Back to the Future.

David:
No. Man, dude, you were mopping the floor with us last time.

Jenny:
That was a great guess though.

David:
That was a good guess. Darren, do you want it?

Jenny:
Darren.

David:
Do you want the two, or do you wanna go with a three? Choices, choices.

Nicole:
“I’m taking the measly two, please.”

Darren:
I’m gonna embarrass myself. I’m not 100% sure about the answer.

Sommer:
How dare you not know one single little thing about Star Gate.

David:
All right, so you’re passing?

Darren:
Yeah, I’m gonna pass.

David:
Linda, do you know it? Raise your hand if you know it.

Linda:
I don’t think so.

David:
Frederick, what is it?

Frederick:
Butch Cassidy.

David:
You got it, buddy.

Nicole:
And the Sundance Kid.

Jenny:
Do you guys know the story behind that?

Frederick:
“For a moment there, I thought we were in trouble.”

David:
Jenny, go ahead and give it.

Jenny:
The story is that that’s Robert Carlyle’s favorite movie.

William:
Really?

Jenny:
That’s the story, I don’t know if that’s true. They were asking and throwing around a bunch of different movies and I can’t remember who wrote that script, but they had put something in there and when they were in rehearsals, Robert threw it out as his favorite movie. It was so natural that everybody took it. I don’t know if that’s the case, but that’s the story.

David:
I’m gonna have to ask Cooper that the next time we sit down because it’s a clue as to how the episode ends. It ends unfinished, just like the film ends unfinished.

Jenny:
I don’t know if they were having conversations, so it was the chicken and the egg.

David:
I’m gonna have to ask Robert.

Jenny:
I heard that not from Robert, I think I heard that from Louis. I can’t remember. It was a great story, so I always liked it whether it’s true or not, I loved it as a story.

Frederick:
That would mean that the line wasn’t scripted, “for a moment there I thought we were in trouble,” that comes from the movie.

Jenny:
No, the line was scripted. The line was scripted, but then they added the second one that comes from Butch Cassidy, at least that’s how the story goes.

David:
We’ll see, I’ll ask Robert.

Jenny:
They had another movie.

David:
Interesting.

Nicole:
I love that episode because Rush and Young have something in common, ’cause it’s both their favorite movie.

David:
It’s the first thing that they share.

Nicole:
I thought that line was pretty cool.

David:
Or chess, one of the two.

William:
It’s the first episode that actually portrays that Rush has a core of heroism to him. It’s great development across the board.

Sommer:
Doesn’t O’Neil and Maybourne have that same… Do they say anything about Butch and the Sundance Kid? Do they have a conversation?

Linda:
They do.

Nicole:
Don’t they do a Starsky and Hutch thing?

David:
“In the hotel under the name of Cassidy. Sean? No, Butch.”

Nicole:
Butch.

Sommer:
That’s a recurring theme, I like it.

Nicole:
Everyone always likes that movie.

Jenny:
Maybe it was Robert Cooper’s thing.

David:
I wouldn’t be surprised ’cause Cooper’s a big movie fan. Darren is at eight.

Sommer:
OK, Darren.

David:
Nicole and William are five. Oh no, Frederick is six, I passed him, sorry buddy. Darren is eight, Frederick is six, Nicole and William are five, Allan and Akos are two and Yvie and Linda are two and Yvie and Sommer are one. All right.

Yvie:
Nice. Sommer.

Jenny:
So, Darren, we’re on round four.

David:
Darren, what do you want?

Darren:
OK, let’s stick with a two.

David:
OK. Darren, who was Ronon Dex’s commanding officer during the period of Sateda’s last culling?

Darren:
His commanding officer.

Nicole:
Three, in my opinion. Ugh.

David:
That’s fair.

Darren:
It’s in there.

David:
It is, rattling around.

Darren:
Somewhere.

Nicole:
In your fron.

David:
In the fron.

Nicole:
I speak Ancient.

Jenny:
I actually would not be surprised.

Nicole:
I do not.

Darren:
100% that it starts with a K.

David:
Yeah?

Darren:
I’m trying to extract the rest.

Nicole:
Keep on pulling. You tug at it.

Darren:
His name was Kell.

David:
Yes. You got it.

Nicole:
Darren, I almost want you to win.

Jenny:
That was a three?

Darren:
That was a two.

David:
That was a two.

Jenny:
That was a two?

Darren:
That was a two.

Jenny:
Yeah.

Frederick:
That should’ve been a three.

Jenny:
Damn.

Frederick:
That was hard.

Nicole:
I almost want you to win this game, Darren, after that.

Jenny:
Allan? I know. Allan, you’re up next, babes.

Allan:
Give me an easy SG-1 one.

David:
Allan, provide two features of the Stargate itself which were changed from the feature film to the TV series.

Allan:
The first one is the main chevron, the chevron at the top.

David:
What about it?

Allan:
The one in the movie had two prongs coming down, but in SG-1 it flattened off. And the second one…

David:
There’s actually three or four.

Jenny:
Allan, Allan.

Allan:
Please don’t do that.

Jenny:
But it’s so much fun.

Sommer:
It’s gonna be OK.

Jenny:
Man, it’s the best.

Allan:
The funny thing there is, if you watch the whole thing there, I’ve got a best mate and his name’s Steve.

Jenny:
No.

David:
That’s great. Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve.

Jenny:
Even better.

David:
Give me another feature of the Stargate.

Allan:
OK, of the Stargates possibly?

David:
Of the gate. There’s a glaring one there that you can give.

Sommer:
Are you OK, Will?

Allan:
In the movie all of the different Stargates had different star constellations on them.

David:
That’s another one. OK, I’ll take it. I’ll give him a one.

Nicole:
What was the glaringly obvious one? Was it the kawoosh?

David:
It glows red.

Nicole:
It does.

Frederick:
In the movie it doesn’t.

David:
And William, what now?

William:
No, thing I was gonna say, the Chevrons don’t illuminate. In the movie one, each individual Chevron extended and lost…

David:
Each individual Chevron moves like it’s supposed to. In the series, just the top one comes down.

William:
On its own.

Nicole:
Would we have counted the kawoosh because it spirals off and carries on?

David:
I would have. The funnel in the back.

Jenny:
Would you have counted the 38 minutes or not? Because that wasn’t something obvious.

David:
That wasn’t something introduced in the movie. But there’s one thing left.

Darren:
The Chevron sound effects are different when they snap.

David:
I didn’t consider that one. That’s fair.

Allan:
And the movie gate is a little bit smaller of a circumference.

Nicole:
They click a bit funny.

David:
Seriously?

Nicole:
Wow. It’s narrower, isn’t it?

Linda:
It’s the same mold.

Frederick:
I heard about that too.

Sommer:
Obviously it didn’t have an iris, that was added later.

David:
That’s fair too.

William:
I think the movie gate had nine chevrons, didn’t it?

David:
Yes, it did because they were gonna go to three destinations.

Nicole:
I watched your thing with Dean Devlin today.

David:
Dean Devlin. There’s one left everyone’s missing.

Nicole:
What?

David:
The glyphs are raised. In the movie, the glyphs are recessed.

Sommer:
I didn’t realize that.

William:
I didn’t either. Very good point. Yep.

Nicole:
I didn’t even realize that. I hadn’t noticed yet.

Sommer:
Me neither. I’ll have to re-watch.

David:
All right, one question for Elle. Yvie.

Yvie:
A one, please.

David:
Yvie, in “Enemy at the Gate,” Zelenka puts into effect a piece of technology that McKay has been developing. What does he do? What is the technology?

Yvie:
I watched this episode not that long ago.

David:
For the record, I hate this thing.

Nicole:
Me too.

William:
The worst.

David:
Let’s forget that they did this.

Nicole:
It’s a big cheat.

Frederick:
It’s convenient.

David:
It’s convenient.

Jenny:
It’s a MacGuffin. It’s a total MacGuffin. That explains enough.

David:
But it changes everything that comes later.

Jenny:
I know and then they use it as a MacGuffin over and over again.

William:
I have so many feelings right now.

Nicole:
Two words.

David:
Hey, hey, hey.

Nicole:
Sorry.

Jenny:
Be quiet?

Nicole:
That’s the answer. She’s got it. She knows the word.

David:
She’s got it.

Nicole:
She’s got it.

William:
That’s last-minute gold.

David:
This new show is gonna be good.

Jenny:
That was so good.

Yvie:
I can’t think.

David:
OK. Jenny, who can steal?

Jenny:
Frederick can steal.

David:
Buddy, do you want a one, or what was that? Was it a one?

Frederick:
I think it was a one.

Jenny:
That was a one.

Frederick:
I’ll let it go, but I know the answer.

David:
OK, raise your hand if you have the answer. OK. Nicole?

Nicole:
Let someone else answer. I talk too much.

David:
OK. Darren?

Darren:
What was the question?

David:
William, “What’s the answer?”

William:
Wormhole drive.

Darren:
Geez.

David:
God’s sakes.

Nicole:
The wormhole hyperspace window.

William:
I’m gonna say real quick, my hot take as we debate. This is William’s ultimate Stargate hot take. Ronon should’ve died. He should’ve stayed dead.

Nicole:
I agree.

David:
I think so too.

Jenny:
What?

William:
100%. That should’ve been the closure of his arc.

Nicole:
Ah.

David:
When the Wraith brings him back, I’m sitting there going, “You have got to be kidding me.”

William:
I thought it was beautiful.

Jenny:
Oh, come on.

Nicole:
Such a cutthroat show as well.

Jenny:
I do not agree. I don’t agree. We have to have a conversation.

Nicole:
They killed so many main characters that it’s like, “You know what? Another one’s OK.”

William:
No stakes, no emotional payoff. That’s my assessment.

Darren:
It should’ve taken a lot more risks, but that wasn’t one of ’em.

David:
Wow. Man, we are polarized on this.

Jenny:
I can throw down on this one for sure because it was an arc of his that should’ve continued that was written.

Frederick:
But this series was already over, so yeah.

David:
It’s like Tucker dying in Enterprise.

Frederick:
No. That die was bad. That was bad.

Jenny:
OK. I lose. We’re even.

David:
Look at William.

Jenny:
That is different. That is different.

Darren:
That never happened. That holodeck program.

David:
I don’t know if his head is exploding or if he’s pulling his hair out.

Nicole:
We need a Star Trek channel just for William to get all his anger out.

Darren:
That holodeck program.

David:
All right.

Darren:
It’s not a Star Trek show.

David:
Frederick. You want easy, medium, or hard?

Frederick:
Let’s go with a hard one.

David:
Frederick. How much of the solar system does McKay destroy in “Trinity?” There are two answers and I’ll accept either one.

Frederick:
If I remember correctly, Weir accuses him of three and a quarter.

David:
Yes. And then McKay says…

Frederick:
But he’s actually referring to five-eighths or…

David:
“Five-sixths but it’s not an exact science.”

Jenny:
Five-sixths.

William:
Mathematically it’s worse, by the way. He worries about the precision of it.

Nicole:
He’s like, “Let me correct you.”

William:
Part of the solar system, how much did you get that to two significant digits?

Jenny:
Whoever did that in the script corrected that math, because that was so brilliant that that’s an inside joke for anybody that knows math, where you’ve just dug your hole deeper by saying that answer.

David:
“I actually did worse, but it’s not an exact science.” Darren, do you remember this? There’s something special about that moment with us.

Darren:
About that moment, I remember being there.

David:
We watched them shoot it.

Darren:
We were standing down on the atrium floor looking up at Weir’s office-

David:
At their office and Teyla and Ronon come through.

Nicole:
I need a Tok’ra Recall device on both of you so I can experience all of this.

Jenny:
That would be sweet. That would be cool.

Frederick:
Get the screen, ’cause I wanna see too.

Nicole:
Let’s all do it.

David:
I’ll have to tell you guys about the time that I made Rachel smile during a take and then the publicity person came over and said…

Darren:
That was good.

David:
“Don’t make eye contact with the talent.”

Nicole:
My dad is texting me telling me I suck. Thanks, Dad. You made me.

David:
Wow.

Jenny:
Wow.

David:
All right then. Them’s fighting words.

Yvie:
He was proud of you a few minutes ago.

Nicole:
I know.

William:
Easy come, easy go.

David:
What do you want, Sommer?

Sommer:
If it’s not an SGU question, a two. If it is, a one.

Nicole:
You can’t be specific. You can’t be specific.

David:
OK. So, you want a two?

Sommer:
I know. I’m teasing. I’ll try a two.

David:
Sommer, in “Rising,” Teyla’s use of what piece of technology made it clear the Athosians were more advanced than they appeared on the surface?

Sommer:
In “Rising?”

David:
Yeah.

Darren:
Good question.

David:
Frederick, not funny.

Sommer:
I know the necklace was essentially a device.

David:
But just before…I need to shut up and let you think.

Nicole:
The answer is, “Be quiet?”

Sommer:
Ah, shoot. I’m replaying it in my mind. This could take about five hours.

Frederick:
They mastered something long ago.

Sommer:
I wanna say a ship or a dart or something. I don’t know. I really don’t know, honestly.

David:
Linda, do you wanna steal it?

Jenny:
Linda?

Linda:
I don’t think so. I can’t remember it 100%.

Sommer:
I can’t.

David:
OK. Raise your hand if you know it. Allan, what do you think?

Allan:
Is it something to do with fire when he uses the lighter?

Nicole:
That’s it.

Sommer:
A lighter?

David:
She has a special lighter that arcs.

Nicole:
“We mastered fire long ago.”

David:
Exactly.

Sommer:
That’s right. I was thinking way too far ahead. OK.

Nicole:
I was already swooning from that moment. I was like, “Damn, girl.”

David:
Linda.

Jenny:
I know.

Linda:
Give me a one.

David:
Give you a one. Linda, what characteristic of the Wraith is introduced in SAeason Three’s “Common Ground?” William’s got it. William’s got it. Geez.

Nicole:
How many points is this?

David:
It’s a one.

Linda:
One. I don’t know. I’m gonna make a wild guess. Is it that they can put energy back into a person as well as take it out?

Frederick:
Exactly.

David:
They can heal.

Nicole:
Good job.

Jenny:
Woo-hoo!

Nicole:
I don’t know why but I thought that was another thing. But that was automatic.

Darren:
That’s obvious.

David:
That’s it.

Nicole:
Wow.

David:
It’s obvious now, it wasn’t then.

Nicole:
No. Damn. That’s a good question.

Jenny:
Nicole’s up next.

Nicole:
I failed the last three. However, I’m not gonna get ahead of Darren if I keep taking puny little twos. Give me another three and if I lose, I lose.

David:
Nicole, “In “Frozen,” what does Ayiana’s name mean in Cherokee?”

Nicole:
What?

Darren:
Wow.

Nicole:
I don’t speak Cherokee, David.

Sommer:
Amazing.

David:
That’s good, because the Cherokee name is Ayiana, so in English what would it be?

Nicole:
OK, so did they talk about this in the episode?

David:
Which I think is technically incorrect.

Nicole:
Did they say it in the episode?

David:
Correct.

Nicole:
I literally watched this episode like two months ago.

David:
The scientist’s grandfather was a quarter of Cherokee, so they found Ayiana and she named her…

Nicole:
Give me a minute, I’m replaying the episode in my head.

Allan:
No, that’s not the name.

Nicole:
You’re no helping.

David:
That’s really long.

Nicole:
Hold on. Was it mother or something? I don’t remember. I’m gonna go for…

Jenny:
William.

Nicole:
… mother.

Jenny:
William can steal.

William:
I’m taking it. It’s eternally bloomed, or blossomed or…

David:
Eternal Bloom.

William:
Eternal, OK.

Nicole:
Damn it. I said mother and then in my head before that I was like, “I feel like it’s something floral, like a flower.”

David:
You got yourself a three, buddy.

Nicole:
Nice, William. That was fantastic remembering that.

Darren:
If it’s Ancient, I’m probably gonna get it.

Nicole:
Damn, good job, man.

David:
Akos.

Darren:
I actually watched that episode and all I could remember was something about a flower.

Nicole:
That’s what I was trying to go for. That’s why I went for mother, because I was like, “Ah, nature.”

David:
What do you want, buddy?

Akos:
Just an easy one now.

David:
All right. Akos, how does Michael finally free himself from the Atlanteans in his introductory episode, self-titled?

Akos:
He was left free, isn’t it?

David:
How does he free himself from Teyla?

Akos:
Wait a second. You are talking about Michael, not about Todd?

David:
Correct.

Akos:
I was jumping to the other Wraith, pardon?

David:
Yes, we actually spoke about this man in another show just a few moments ago.

Akos:
I don’t remember, sorry.

Jenny:
Darren can steal.

David:
Darren, that’s a one. Do you wanna steal a one?

Darren:
No, I’ll pass.

David:
Raise your hand if you know the answer. Nicole, go ahead.

Nicole:
Doesn’t he use the Wraith connection between them in order to manipulate the thing?

David:
Yeah, it has to be. Very good. All right, so we stand at Darren with 10, Frederick coming around the back stretch with 9, 8 for William.

Nicole:
I’m doing bad today.

David:
Five for Nicole.

Nicole:
You’re still at the same point.

David:
Linda is three, Akos is two and Yvie and Sommer are one.

Jenny:
Allan has three as well.

David:
And Allan has three as well, I apologize. One of these days I’ll get everyone right on one go. Round five. Do I have enough for round six? Let me look real quickly.

Nicole:
Please, I need to get my points back.

David:
I’m doing what I can with what I’ve got. Let’s see here. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, there’s 17 and there’s 8 of you, right? Or is there nine of you?

Jenny:
Nine.

David:
There’s nine of them?

Jenny:
So, you’re one short.

David:
I’ll make one up.

Jenny:
Unless someone passes, it’ll be fine.

David:
All right. That probably will happen. OK, Darren?

Darren:
OK, two more rounds?

David:
Two more rounds.

Darren:
I gotta strategize. Let’s keep it on two.

Nicole:
If you get three, just beat me. There’s no hope of me coming back from this.

David:
You want a two?

Nicole:
Go ahead.

Darren:
Yeah.

David:
Darren, how does Destiny’s team manage to initially access the underground bunker in “Epilogue?”

Darren:
There’s an underground bunker?

David:
Yes.

Darren:
In “Epilogue?”

Frederick:
With music in the elevators.

David:
Nice Muzak. It was so bizarre. Joel went to town. “OK, let’s create something crazy.”

Darren:
Shot in the dark. C4.

David:
Good guess.

Jenny:
Allan.

David:
Allan can steal.

Jenny:
Allan can steal.

Allan:
No, definitely not.

David:
OK. Raise your hand if you know it. William.

William:
I’m 99% sure I know it. They actually had Destiny fire at the door.

Frederick:
Reduced power.

David:
With its primary cannon, they set it to reduce power, you’re exactly right, Frederick. It was a great sequence.

William:
It was really good.

Frederick:
It’s worth a shot.

David:
You did a good job, bro. You did good.

William:
I saw what you did there.

David:
That’s really fun. All right, Allan?

Allan:
Gimme a one.

David:
Give you a one. Allan, what does Mitchell threaten McKay with to ensure his cooperation in the Pegasus Project?

Allan:
Is it something to do with citrus? All right, it’s been a long while. Was it threatening him with food, like lemon chicken?

Nicole:
We can give that to him. He had it.

David:
He said citrus.

Nicole:
He said lemon. He said lemon chicken.

David:
I’ll give it to you.

Nicole:
Good job, Allan.

David:
That’s it.

Frederick:
It’s Sheppard who gives him a lemon and he’s like “Who’s that?”

Nicole:
He said the correct words.

Frederick:
Then actually uses it.

Nicole:
You don’t see that in Atlantis. You never see him pulling it out, really. I would’ve loved to see it more.

David:
Then what episode threatens that entire thing as being completely fake?

William:
Moebius.

Jenny:
No.

Frederick:
I think it is.

David:
I think it’s “The Road Not Taken” ’cause he mentions that he loves lemon chicken.

William:
… that the other timeline McKay BSed that.

David:
I think that he’s crazy.

Nicole:
A dramatic person.

David:
Or he probably had a bad experience when he was younger and then equates it to that.

Jenny:
And then it stuck. Yvie, you’re up next.

Yvie:
Another one, please.

David:
Yvie.

Nicole:
Stop stealing all the ones.

David:
What was the result of Sheppard killing the Wraith Keeper at the end of “Rising?” Don’t overthink this.

Frederick:
Basically, the whole show.

Yvie:
This is clearly the face of someone who doesn’t remember.

William:
We still love you.

Sommer:
Me and Yvie are gonna go back and watch “Rising” actually.

Nicole:
You’re still getting a show, Yvie.

David:
You’re still getting a show.

Nicole:
This doesn’t take away from you being a big fan.

David:
Yvie needs to re-watch it.

Nicole:
Exactly, perfect.

Yvie:
OK, repeat the question please.

David:
Yvie, what is the result of Sheppard killing Andee Frizzell’s Wraith Keeper at the end of “Rising?” “You don’t know what you have done.”

Nicole:
I was gonna do that. I was gonna be like, “… die!” I won’t say the last part.

Yvie:
Something to do with the hives. What’s the word I’m looking for? They come out of hibernation.

David:
Jenny, give that girl a wand and a blowtorch to play with.

Jenny:
That works. Woo!

Frederick:
They awaken all at once.

Nicole:
All of them.

David:
All at once.

Frederick:
Exactly.

Nicole:
I’m not gonna lie, she is weirdly attractive.

David:
That’s the thing about them.

Nicole:
They’re weirdly hot and it makes sense.

David:
They play on that level. Fredrick.

Jenny:
Fredrick’s up.

Frederick:
Let’s go for three if there are any.

David:
Fredrick, what was the term the Eurondans sometimes called their enemy?

Frederick:
Eurondans.

Nicole:
I’m jealous of this question. It’s so good.

Frederick:
Ah.

Jenny:
That’s a great question.

Nicole:
Such a good question.

Frederick:
Gosh, I know, it’s on the tip of my tongue.

Nicole:
Do you remember what Jenny said it is?

Sommer:
Am I the only one who doesn’t know who the Eurondans are? What?

Nicole:
Eurondans.

Frederick:
The one with the enemies just over the hearse and everything. I remember.

David:
Euronda, but yes.

Jenny:
Euronda.

Frederick:
I have to pass it. I don’t know.

David:
Who’s next, Jenny?

Jenny:
Sommer.

Sommer:
Me, but I’m trying to think of who the Euronda is.

David:
“They reproduce indiscriminately without any regard for genetic purity.”

Darren:
Odo’s race.

Nicole:
Can I say it?

Frederick:
Odo’s race.

David:
Nicole, go ahead.

Nicole:
They’re breeders.

Sommer:
I’m gonna pass, so go ahead.

Nicole:
‘Cause they don’t care. They’re a bunch of racists which I didn’t realize until I grew older.

Sommer:
Breeders, OK. All right.

William:
There’s one episode for some reason when the Iris didn’t bang hard.

Nicole:
It was like a fly.

David:
For the sound effect on the monitor.

Sommer:
I remember now. I have trivia brain. My brain goes blank when I’m answering trivia.

David:
It’s all good. You should see me when I’m on with Darren. I get dumb all the sudden.

Sommer:
I can’t. I’m so bad at trivia. I can talk any day of the week about Stargate all day long, but as soon as I’m on the spot, gone.

David:
Sommer, what would you like?

Sommer:
I’m gonna try it one more time to try to get something.

Nicole:
Spice it up.

David:
Sommer, in Season Four of Atlantis, what premonition does Davos give Samantha Carter in “The Seer?”

Jenny:
These are great questions, David.

David:
Thank you.

Sommer:
I foresee failure…

David:
You could call it failure.

Jenny:
Let me take one last bite of cake. I’m really gonna have to go back and watch this episode.

David:
“I’m so sorry, my dear.”

Jenny:
Oh, God.

Sommer:
Isn’t it the death of… the… I know something, it’s like the death of a child, or the death of something, but I don’t remember. I honestly don’t.

David:
Linda, do you wanna steal it?

Linda:
No.

David:
OK, I maybe don’t have enough…

Sommer:
Again, I am doing awful…

David:
It’s all right.

Sommer:
Argh. It’s the…

David:
Raise your hand if you know it.

Nicole:
Think I do. I’m not sure, but go ahead.

David:
An orange tabby.

Sommer:
Wait, is it just destruction though?

David:
Of what?

Sommer:
Just a destruction of Atlantis? Just general Atlantis?

David:
Yes! There you go, of an Atlantis. Yes.

Jenny:
It’s that Atlantis. I thought it was just a death or destruction. OK.

Nicole:
It wasn’t actually the premonition of the alternate Atlantis from that one episode.

Darren:
It’s an Ancient city.

David:
It was based on Atlantis.

Jenny:
I did give Sommer that.

David:
They were constantly using that city for all kinds of things.

Jenny:
I’m gonna give Sommer that point.

Sommer:
Thank you.

David:
Linda.

Linda:
Yes. I’m gonna come out somewhere not exactly at the bottom and not anywhere near the top, so just give me another one.

David:
Linda, what did Teal’c do which resulted in his standing trial in Cor-ai?

Linda:
He killed the father on crutches of the…

David:
Hanno’s father.

Jenny:
… young man.

Nicole:
Hanno.

David:
Perfect. All right, I really wanna get David McNally for Season Three. He’s busy right now, but I’m really hopeful. If you want David McNally, give us a thumbs up.

Nicole:
He was also in the Christian episode. I’m giving a thumbs up right now.

David:
Absolutely. All right, very good.

Darren:
He was in Atlantis, wasn’t he? He was also in “Epiphany.”

David:
Was he? Yes, he was.

Nicole:
Was he?

David:
Absolutely. “There is no way to leave, John.”

David:
Hello, cat. We have two cats.

Yvie:
I can’t bring my dogs in ’cause they’re too big.

David:
We have two cats.

Yvie:
Come on, I would. This is cheating.

Jenny:
Nicole, you’re up, babe.

Nicole:
Look, there’s no way in hell I’m beating Darren, so I’m still gonna carry on going for threes, ’cause I think I’ve proved my worth.

David:
Nicole. Nicole.

Nicole:
Go.

David:
What object…

Nicole:
God.

David:
… did Camille Wray…

Nicole:
Oh, for f-

David:
What object did Camille Wray forget in the picture from…

Nicole:
Boats, the boats, the boats!

David:
I didn’t even finish the question.

Nicole:
When you said, “object Camille Wray” I remembered it was the boats. I remember she’s sitting in her girlfriend’s lap being like, “The boat!”

David:
In the picture from her house, she drew from memory aboard Destiny.

Nicole:
“How could I forget the boats?”

David:
Yes, that’s correct.

Nicole:
Oh my god, I remembered something about Universe that’s really particular.

David:
Give that girl a three before we lose her.

Jenny:
Nicely done.

Nicole:
Aw.

Jenny:
Nicely done.

Nicole:
That was the Janelle Monáe holiday episode, wasn’t it?

David:
Yes.

Jenny:
Yeah.

Nicole:
That’s what I remembered. Thank you, Janelle Monáe.

David:
“Such a good friend.”

William:
“You’re such a good friend.”

Nicole:
I feel so bad for Eli. He’s a snack. David Blue’s a snack at any point.

David:
William. Hey, hello, Corgi.

Sommer:
I’ll get my cat.

Linda:
Here we go. Everybody needs a pet now.

David:
Who’s that?

William:
Maggie.

David:
Maggie.

Yvie:
Aw, Maggie.

David:
Don’t you have a black one as well?

William:
I do. Finnian’s grumping in the corner, so I grabbed Maggie.

Nicole:
I’m about to go get my two greyhounds.

Jenny:
Aw.

David:
All right, guys. Who’s next? William.

Jenny:
William’s next.

David:
What do you want, buddy, and Maggie? Aw.

William:
She gave me three kisses, so I’m gonna go for a three here.

David:
William, in “Within the Serpent’s Grasp,” O’Neill utters a curse word cut from the syndicated version. What is the initial or initials of the curse word?

Allan:
I know.

Nicole:
I have the DVD so I always hear it.

William:
Is it BS?

David:
Correct.

Jenny:
Was that a two or a three?

Nicole:
I was really surprised.

David:
That’s a three. Good job, Maggie.

Nicole:
I was really shocked when he swore. Were they allowed to swear?

David:
That was cut from the broadcast version.

Nicole:
Wow.

David:
It was only on cable.

Darren:
They were on Showtime.

David:
Aired on Showtime.

William:
Jinx.

David:
Yep.

Jenny:
All right. Akos.

Akos:
Yes, I want a medium one.

David:
You want a medium. Akos, where was the nine-Chevron Destiny address discovered?

Akos:
On the Icarus Base, isn’t it?

David:
They found it on Icarus Base?

Akos:
Yeah.

David:
Is that your final answer?

Akos:
Yeah.

David:
No. Darren, would you like to steal a two?

Darren:
This is a two? I think William just took first place. I might need a three.

Jenny:
He did. He’s ahead of you by one point.

Nicole:
Damn.

Jenny:
Frederick’s got nine.

Nicole:
I’m on eight.

Jenny:
William’s got 11.

Darren:
I’m gonna pass this and go for a three.

David:
OK. Who thinks they know the answer? Move and raise their hand.

Akos:
Maybe Atlantis base?

David:
William, where did they find the Destiny coordinates?

William:
Ancient database on Atlantis.

David:
That’s correct.

Nicole:
My God, wow.

David:
Darren.

William:
That was Jackson’s infomercial video.

David:
Rush says it as well.

Frederick:
I think it also referenced the ninth Chevron in a deleted scene from Season Five. I don’t remember which episode.

David:
There was one where they were positing the idea in walk and talk down the hall. Yes, that’s exactly right. If they had left it in, it would have been a nice dovetail into Atlantis.

William:
Doesn’t McKay say “let me stop you right there, ’cause that’s the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard?”

David:
Exactly. Yep. All right, Darren, you want a three, buddy?

Darren:
Let’s have a three.

David:
All right, Darren.

Darren:
Gonna try and get this back. I’ve been playing it safe and William and Frederick are creeping up on me here.

David:
Darren, what did O’Neill ask Merrin to paint for him in “Learning Curve?”

Darren:
What did Jack ask Merrin, the Orbanian girl, to paint him?

Nicole:
See, he’s already halfway there. Damn it, Darren.

Darren:
Just raising tension.

Frederick:
It’s his fault.

David:
He’s giving the chat a chance to participate, is what he’s doing.

Darren:
What could it be, “Paint Me a Flower?”

David:
“Paint Me a Flower.” That’s it. See, this guy is on fire.

Jenny:
All right, Allan, you’re up.

Nicole:
He’s on it today.

Allan:
OK, let’s go with a bang with a two.

David:
Bang with a two. All right. Allan, what habit does Jack admit he retired between the feature film and the pilot?

Sommer:
Can you repeat that, David?

David:
Another corgi. What’s this one’s name?

William:
This one’s Finnian.

David:
Aw.

Sommer:
Finnian. Hi, Finnian.

David:
What habit did Jack kick between the feature film and the pilot?

Allan:
That’d have to be smoking.

David:
Give him a two.

William:
Very good.

Jenny:
Woo-hoo.

Sommer:
Nice. Nice job.

Yvie:
Good job.

Allan:
Is it actually mentioned, though? Is it referenced? It’s not referenced, is it?

David:
“I quit smoking, Daniel. What else do you want?”

Allan:
Gotcha.

David:
Yvie.

Jenny:
Yvie.

Yvie:
Hello. I would like a one, please.

David:
It’s the last one available.

Nicole:
Course it is.

Sommer:
Oh, no.

David:
Yvie, what does Destiny do when her systems are low on power?

Yvie:
Oh, gosh.

Nicole:
Such a good episode.

Yvie:
It’s been so long since I’ve seen it.

David:
She regularly does this.

Sommer:
All the time.

Yvie:
Doesn’t she do it twice during the show?

David:
At least.

Jenny:
At least.

David:
On screen, at least, but it was happening all the time. They talk about it a lot.

Sommer:
Wait, where she gets the power from?

Yvie:
Energy drinks.

Nicole:
Brilliant.

Yvie:
Monster boost.

David:
They have a huge supply of Red Bull on every other planet. You don’t know where Destiny recharges?

Yvie:
No, I don’t.

Nicole:
What’s the only source of power on the universe?

William:
“It’s what Destiny intended from the moment it entered the star system.”

David:
All right, Frederick, do you want the one, or do you want to pass

Frederick:
I’ll try a two or a three so I’ll pass.

David:
OK, raise your hand if you know the answer. Jenny?

Jenny:
The sun.

Nicole:
Actually, the star, the sun is just R1.

Jenny:
R, star.

William:
Boo.

Jenny:
Thanks for correcting me.

Nicole:
But it really annoys me when somebody goes, “a sun” and I hate when people say “a sun,” ’cause no, our sun is the sun. Everything else is a star.

Frederick:
It’s a red dwarf.

Sommer:
It’s OK, Jenny. Breathe. It’s fine.

Jenny:
But I love you, Nicole.

Nicole:
It annoys me.

David:
Frederick, you want a two or a three now, bud?

Frederick:
Let’s go with a two this time.

David:
He wants the two. You’re taking the last two. Everything else from hereon in is hard.

Frederick:
Sorry everyone.

Jenny:
Ah, that sucks.

Nicole:
Back to the threes.

David:
Frederick, what phrase does Ke’ra tell Daniel, forcing him to realize he’s talking to Linea? Who we recently had on, the lovely Bonnie Bartlett. If you got to see it.

William:
That was amazing, by the way.

David:
Thank you.

Nicole:
What a great question.

David:
She’s coming back.

William:
She’s literally a legend. That blew me away.

Jenny:
It was a great interview.

David:
She’s agreed to come back this fall and I’m already talking with her manager.

Jenny:
Awesome.

Frederick:
I know exactly what you’re talking about but I don’t remember the line. I know it’s coming from either the book or she’s reading the book and talking to Carter or Daniel and she says something and everyone realizes.

David:
The first time we see it it’s on a screen; the second time it’s verbal.

Yvie:
I actually know the answer to this one I’m pretty sure.

Jenny:
Sommer can steal.

David:
Sommer can steal if Sommer knows.

Frederick:
I have to pass.

David:
Sommer, do you know it?

Sommer:
Yes. It’s on the tip of my tongue. Give me a minute.

Nicole:
I know it.

Sommer:
You know what? I’m gonna hold out for that three. No, no, no, no… Give me one second. Hold on ’cause I wanna try.

David:
Don’t look for it.

Sommer:
All debts are paid? Is that it?

David:
I’ll take it. “All debts have now been paid.”

Sommer:
“All debts have now been paid.” OK.

David:
Yvie, I’m sorry.

Yvie:
That’s OK.

Nicole:
Yvie, you knew that one.

Yvie:
No glory for Yvie.

Sommer:
Sorry, everybody. I’ll take it back.

David:
Jeez.

Jenny:
Linda is up next.

Sommer:
I was scared of the three.

Nicole:
You don’t get a choice now. It’s the three now.

Sommer:
I know.

David:
All right. Linda, in “Critical Mass,” what does Teyla ensure gets performed upon Charin’s death?

Linda:
Gosh, I can’t remember the name of it. She does the ceremony where she sings the song so beautifully.

Sommer:
Yes.

David:
What is the ceremony called?

Linda:
I don’t know.

David:
What are they doing?

Linda:
I don’t know. I can remember every other ceremony name going, but that one…

David:
OK. Nicole, it’s a three. Do you wanna steal it?

Nicole:
I’m thinking about it.

David:
What? You answer everything. Really? Seriously?

Nicole:
No, I don’t. Look, this is a tough one. I wanna say, Linda, you know what it is. You can visualize it in your head. You know exactly what it’s called.

Linda:
I can totally visualize the whole ceremony.

David:
Don’t walk her to it. Don’t walk her to it. Come on.

Nicole:
I’m just saying. I feel like it’s the circle of something, but I’m not gonna do it ’cause I don’t know.

David:
Raise your hand if you know it.

Nicole:
‘Cause I don’t remember it.

David:
William, my rockstar. What is it, buddy?

William:
The Ring Ceremony.

David:
There you go.

Nicole:
That’s what I thought, but I wasn’t sure.

William:
It’s tied for my favorite episode of Atlantis.

Nicole:
Is it ’cause of the singing?

David:
Yes.

William:
First off, the singing’s amazing, but I think that episode, that montage at the end…

David:
It’s terrific. I wish they did more of those.

Sommer:
It’s beautiful.

William:
With Ronon kicking the chair aside and the whole thing with Caldwell.

Nicole:
The behind-the-scene moment during Season One that’s on the DVDs, somebody, a fan, asked a question back in the 2000s saying, “When will we hear Teyla sing?” They are all like, “Oh, when Hell freezes over.”

David:
Aw.

Nicole:
I remember hearing that and going, “Teyla’s never gonna sing.” Then I watched Season Two and I was like…

David:
Does anyone know what Joel named the song?

Frederick:
“Beyond the Night.”

David:
That’s right.

Sommer:
Beyond the Night. That’s it.

Frederick:
Love that song.

David:
The first lyrics.

Darren:
Now, David, correct me if I’m making this up, but I wanna say I heard a behind-the-scenes anecdote that Rachel went in to record this and it was so good that Joel Goldsmith and the producers had her redo it so that it was not quite as polished.

Jenny:
I heard that too.

Sommer:
Really? Wow.

David:
I’m not surprised.

Nicole:
But it sounded so perfect on the DVD.

Frederick:
That’s almost rude.

Sommer:
That’s crazy.

David:
It’s a testament to her talent, her whole family, they all sing.

Nicole:
What a fantastic compliment. You’re too good. Do it again and it works.

William:
They want it to sound like it’s live.

David:
All right. Next we have…

Jenny:
Nicole.

Nicole:
A three for me if there isn’t a one.

David:
All right.

Nicole:
I’m gonna take it.

David:
Nicole, what is the more common name of Also Sprach Zarathustra revealed by Volker in “Hope?”

Nicole:
Say that again?

David:
What is the more common name of Also Sprach Zarathustra revealed by Volker in Hope?

Nicole:
Oh my God, how could you give me such a brutal question?

Frederick:
It’s a song from the movie.

Sommer:
He thought you could handle it.

Nicole:
I have no idea what that is. I have no idea what that is.

Darren:
You wanna clarify that Also Sprach Zarathustra is the title of a piece of music?

Jenny:
William can steal.

William:
No. No, no.

Jenny:
No.

William:
There is no clarifying.

Linda:
No.

David:
No clarifying. It translates to “Thus Spoke Zarathustra.”

William:
Auf Deutsch.

Linda:
I know this one.

Nicole:
That was probably a reference that I did not get and I have absolutely no idea.

David:
It comes up twice.

Nicole:
Can you say it one more time before I give up?

David:
Also Sprach Zarathustra.

Nicole:
The question so I can remember the context of what the hell I’m supposed to be trying to guess.

David:
What is the more common name, or reference, for Also Sprach Zarathustra revealed by Volker in “Hope?” The scientists were always bickering and they bickered about this.

William:
Why?

Nicole:
I don’t know. I’m gonna say death and then we’re gonna move on.

David:
OK. William?

Jenny:
William can steal.

William:
Oh, I’ll steal the hell outta this. Oh, heck. No, it came up when they were going through the iPod to find music. It’s the theme to 2001.

David:
You got it.

Nicole:
Oh my God. OK.

Frederick:
2001, obviously.

Nicole:
I wanna say, and I’m gonna blame my father for this, who’s watching. I’ve never seen 2001. I have the letter but never seen it. Never seen it.

Linda:
I had to learn it for a piano lesson.

Frederick:
I did it too.

David:
So, a feature of Wormhole X-Tremists that I will go ahead and announce now, a feature of Wormhole X-Tremists is that every few weeks, when we get to a mid-season finale or a series finale, we will break for one week and watch a sci-fi movie together.

Jenny:
Sweet.

William:
That’s great. That is awesome.

Jenny:
I love that.

David:
And 2001 is on the list.

Nicole:
When did that movie come out?

David:
Way before you were born.

Nicole:
I was gonna say. Was anybody here alive when it came out?

David:
I wasn’t.

Sommer:
’78?

Allan:
’78.

Darren:
I remember the motion picture. It was before Star Trek The Motion Picture.

Jenny:
I think it’s 1978.

Allan:
I think it’s ’78, the year after Star Wars.

David:
That makes sense.

Jenny:
Might be earlier. Wow.

David:
All right.

Nicole:
So, that’s where all the sci-fi was taking off.

William:
So, I’m guessing then the intent would be for some intersections with Stargate, or references or themes or something like that? Is that a notion maybe?

David:
You mean in the episode?

William:
No, the non-Stargate movies or things to watch.

David:
The intent is to take a break from the show and do something that anyone can join us for. Clear our palates.

Frederick:
You can also make a comparison to Stargate and how they took the sci-fi genre versus Star Trek and Star Wars and all the others.

David:
Correct, that’s one of the intents. Absolutely.

Jenny:
Roland talks about it a lot for his movies. Akos.

David:
Akos.

Frederick:
Akos is up. You’re up next.

David:
All right. Akos, Peter DeLuise makes his presence known in every episode he directs in one form or another, but how did he achieve this in “Threshold?”

Jenny:
Oh man. I actually know that.

Akos:
On the candles, that was reflecting on the window of the examination room.

William:
Great job.

David:
Through the candles, says PD.

Nicole:
I love pointing that out to people who don’t know that, when we’re watching it.

Jenny:
It’s so good.

Nicole:
I go, “Oh, Peter DeLuise. That’s how he’s in this episode.”

David:
Peter is a sick genius.

Nicole:
I love how I spot him.

David:
All right, where do we stand, everybody?

Jenny:
William is in first place with 14.

David:
14.

Nicole:
William!

Yvie:
Good job.

Jenny:
Darren is second with 13, then we have Frederick at 9, then we have Nicole at 8. We have Allan at 6.

David:
Akos is, yes, OK.

Jenny:
Sorry.

David:
No, you’re all right.

Frederick:
Akos is five.

David:
Is five.

Frederick:
Sommer and Linda are tied with four and Yvie has two.

David:
All right, I haven’t reviewed these questions so let’s set points aside and have a little fun for a little bit and then I will give the final question which will determine who wins, OK? All right.

Frederick:
Let’s give one point to each of them so we don’t have to classify them.

David:
OK. Throw this one out if you know it. In what episode did Sam and Jack first kiss?

Nicole:
“Broca Divide.”

David:
Duja89, yes, “Broca Divide.” Very good. In what episode did Teal’c say, “Uh…” No, I can’t ask that one. What was the name of the planet in “Red Sky?”

Akos:
K’tau.

David:
K’tau?

Darren:
K’tau.

Nicole:
Nice.

Sommer:
Nice one.

David:
Great. That was Charles Comeaux, C-O-M-E-A-U-X, very good. Donald Peterson, what was in the pot of the universe is infinite in…

Nicole:
A coin.

David:
A coin.

Sommer:
A coin, yes.

David:
Very good. All right. Bob Remiersma, what does FRAN spell out?

William:
Friendly Replicator Android.

David:
You got it.

Sommer:
Wow, that was quick.

David:
Sci-fi fan 21, what episode reveals McKay having a sister?

Nicole:
“Letters From Pegasus.”

Darren:
“Hot Zone.”

David:
“Hot Zone.”

Nicole:
What?

Sommer:
Which one is it?

Nicole:
It’s Hot Zone.

David:
Yes, ’cause he changed brother to sister.

Sommer:
I thought Mr. and Mrs. Miller.

David:
Lock Watcher, McKay when he was young, he wanted to be what?

Sommer:
Pianist.

Linda:
Pianist.

David:
There we go.

Frederick:
Penis. You need to pronounce it penis-t.

Nicole:
A pianist.

David:
What’d you think I said? Charles Comeaux Jr. again asks, who fell in through the black hole in “A Matter of Time?”

William:
Cromwell.

David:
Cromwell.

Nicole:
Nice.

David:
OK, Japanese kanji characters, in “Prophecy” what Goa’uld, in a previous episode, caused Jonas to have visions?

Nicole:
Nirrti.

David:
OK. All right. Freiberg, who is the actor to provide the voice for Thor?

William:
Shanks.

Nicole:
Shanks.

Jenny:
Shanks.

David:
Gavin Rodriguez: What does John ask to eat when he steps into the puddle jumper in “Rising?”

Nicole:
A turkey sandwich.

Linda:
A turkey sandwich.

Nicole:
Thanks, dad.

David:
And this guy said ham sandwich, so Gavin, be sure to check your sources. Lock Watcher-

Nicole:
Dad!

David:
In the return… that’s your dad?

Nicole:
Gavin Rodriguez, that’s why I’m telling him off.

David:
He said a ham sandwich, so you tell him he is wrong.

Nicole:
I have to correct him half the time. He misremembers Stargate all the time. He even misremembered the end of Battlestar Galactica. I was like, “How could you?” Ugh.

David:
Lock Watcher, in “The Return Part Two,” Jack cannot empty the water in the airlock due to a what type of control?

Frederick:
A dead man’s switch.

David:
He got it.

Frederick:
‘Cause you need to hold it.

David:
There you go. That’s it. It’s a dead man’s switch. All right.

Nicole:
No one asked us the fun question of “Fail Safe.”

Sommer:
Those are good.

Nicole:
What color were the wires?

David:
All right.

Frederick:
Yellow.

Linda:
All the same.

David:
OK. Darren and William, do you guys have a piece of paper or something?

Sommer:
Sure.

David:
That you can write?

Sommer:
I can do that.

David:
William and Darren.

Sommer:
But I just wanna write stuff down.

David:
OK. You don’t need to write it all down.

Nicole:
I wanna say right now, Darren, I respect you as a man and a human and all that.

Darren:
But you don’t love me?

Nicole:
No, but I want William to win, because I wanna see someone that isn’t you win.

Darren:
Me too. William’s already ahead. I don’t know why I would ever beat him.

Sommer:
What? So sad. Such animosity.

Nicole:
No, no, no. It’s ’cause I’ve seen William do so well before. He’s done so much Stargate, so I’ve been there for everything. So, it’d be nice to have William come over.

David:
I’m gonna have to prepare another question in the event that they both get this one correct. You guys have something to write on?

William:
Yes, sir.

Darren:
Yep.

David:
All right. You guys ready?

William:
Sure.

Darren:
As ready as I’ll be.

David:
All right. Guys, what piece of Goa’uld technology finally made it onto the screen near the beginning of “Continuum,” which answered a longstanding question from “Children of the Gods?” I don’t need the exact wording for this because there isn’t one, but write your approximations down and let me know when you’re ready.

William:
A continuity from “Children of the Gods?” OK. I have a guess.

Nicole:
What was the question again? Just curious.

David:
What piece of Goa’uld technology finally made it onto the screen near the beginning of “Stargate Continuum” answering a longstanding question from “Children of the Gods?”

Nicole:
Thank you.

Frederick:
I’m sure you know it, Nicole.

Nicole:
No. I only act like I’m the best. I don’t actually believe it.

Frederick:
But think about it. “Children of the Gods” until “Continuum.”

Yvie:
That’s not true.

William:
I got a good thought. I just watched “Continuum” recently.

Sommer:
Yvie knows you too well.

Nicole:
No, legit. I’m putting half of this on. I overdo it so that people think I’m more confident.

Jenny:
Hey, it’s a way to carry us through when we’re insecure. It works really well.

David:
That’s it. You guys have your answers?

William:
Serious therapy session.

Jenny:
Fake it till you make it.

William:
So, you wanna take turns going?

David:
William, are you ready?

William:
Yeah.

David:
Show us and tell us, William.

William:
I’m thinking it’s a dialing device or powering device for the gate.

David:
Yes. Darren, show us your answer.

Nicole:
My God.

Darren:
I called it a Stargate portable dialer.

Nicole:
The portable dialer.

David:
All right, great.

Nicole:
That’s such a good point. I always wondered what that was.

David:
OK, back to square one.

Nicole:
Nice, guys.

Jenny:
Extra round.

Sommer:
We have it.

Jenny:
Part two.

Darren:
You don’t need the tie break here, William’s already ahead.

David:
OK. Guys, both of you. What was the basis for the alien rifles in Wormhole X-Treme? Write down an answer please.

Nicole:
William’s face.

David:
OK, then.

Nicole:
No, he was pulling a face on purpose. I’m not making fun of his face.

William:
You can punch my exes, Nicole. It’s all right.

David:
Darren, are you ready?

Darren:
I’m processing the question. Is this a behind-the-scenes props question, or is this an onscreen canon question?

David:
This is a behind-the-scenes props question.

Nicole:
Brutal.

David:
Bru-ul.

Yvie:
Brutal. Bru-ul. No Ts.

Nicole:
Guys, sorry. Look, sometimes I forget my Ts. It’s what English people do.

David:
But it’s also strange to say brutal.

Nicole:
I know. But a lot of people say bru-ul. Pronouncing the T seems weird.

Jenny:
Hey, all New Yorkers who came from the UK or Ireland, my grandmother said ca-tle till she died.

David:
Ca-tle?

Nicole:
Yeah.

Sommer:
Ca-tle.

Nicole:
Also, I no longer say water. I say [wadder,] like I’m American.

Jenny:
Water.

David:
[Wotter.]

Nicole:
Water.

Sommer:
I think that’s adorable.

David:
Like pressing a button.

Sommer:
I love it.

David:
Like you’re actually making a press of a button.

Nicole:
You think I’m adorable? No one says that.

Yvie:
I think the accent… Yes, you too. But I think the accent is adorable.

David:
You guys have an answer for me?

William:
I have an answer.

Darren:
An answer.

David:
All right. William, show me and tell me.

William:
I’m blowing smoke here, but rifles from Aliens, like the pulse rifles. I don’t know.

David:
All right. Darren?

Darren:
Toy ray gun.

David:
You’re both wrong. It’s a super soaker.

Sommer:
Really? Wow.

Jenny:
It is.

Nicole:
Do we get another question?

Jenny:
It’s super cool.

David:
I’m gonna have to come up with another one.

Nicole:
My goodness.

David:
What’s the Athosian name for Teyla’s fighting sticks?

Nicole:
That’s a good question.

Frederick:
She mentioned it in the interview, I think.

David:
She mentions it… I’ll reveal the episode that she mentions it in. We were waiting for it to appear on screen for years.

Nicole:
Someone in the comments said something funny.

Frederick:
It’s something stick.

Nicole:
They said, “A Halo?” Is that a game reference?

David:
Probably.

Nicole:
Respectful.

Jenny:
There’s a new show.

Frederick:
Or an Adele reference.

Nicole:
A great show. People who hate it, get over it.

Jenny:
I know. Are you watching it? I love it.

Nicole:
It’s streaming in the UK and I love it, even though it’s nothing like the game. I love it as its own entity.

David:
Keenan, dark one.

Jenny:
My baby.

David:
I’m gonna see you in a month, buddy.

Jenny:
I know you are.

David:
Keenan.

Linda:
I think the final question, David, has to be how many pets have been on the show today?

David:
At least six.

Nicole:
I have a really bad question if they don’t get this.

David:
William, you ready?

William:
Yes. I’m gonna go with the answer that Cliff Clavin gave in the Cheers episode when he was on Jeopardy: “Who are people who have never been in my mom’s kitchen?”

Jenny:
That’s brilliant.

David:
Buddy, if you gotta lose, that’s the way to lose.

Sommer:
Brilliant. Hilarious.

David:
Darren, what do you have?

Darren:
Have Bantos rods.

David:
Bantos rods.

Frederick:
Bantos.

David:
Wow, guys. Congratulations.

Sommer:
Beautiful.

Nicole:
Go on, Darren. You took a crown back, man.

Darren:
We are tied now right? That was worth one point?

Frederick:
I think the episode is “Sunday.”

David:
It cleared the winner. “Sunday” is the answer, yes.

Frederick:
In the episode where it’s mentioned.

David:
They’re leaving the gym and she said, “I left my Bantos rods in the gym” and what’s her face says, “I’ll meet you there.”

Frederick:
That’s basically what saved her life.

David:
‘Cause she’s stepped just enough away from her. She fought the entire afternoon with her in the gym and she didn’t blow up, so…

Nicole:
God.

David:
Guys, this has been a trip.

Nicole:
That was a really good episode.

William:
This has been a lot of fun.

Sommer:
Love it. All the time.

Jenny:
So much fun.

David:
Thank you for helping us wrap.

Nicole:
I had a good time. I’m OK with losing.

Sommer:
Nicole, you never lose. You might lose on paper, but you never lose.

Nicole:
Stop it.

David:
Allan, looking forward to seeing you at Gatecon.

Nicole:
Ditto.

David:
Looking forward to seeing the three of you at Gatecon.

Yvie:
Can’t wait.

Nicole:
We’re gonna have a good time.

David:
We’re making plans.

Sommer:
When I’m there, give me a hug.

Allan:
Who else? Darren, you coming to Gatecon?

Darren:
I’ll be there.

David:
Linda’s gonna be there. Nicole and Yvie are all gonna be there. Darren’s gonna be there.

Linda:
I’ll be there.

David:
Jenny’s gonna be there.

Sommer:
I’m so happy for you, not at all jealous.

Allan:
I’ll reword the question to who’s not coming to Gatecon and why not?

Nicole:
How could you?

Sommer:
I can’t.

Frederick:
Still looking at it ’cause I don’t know if my schedule will permit it.

David:
Dude, if you can get out there, come out.

Jenny:
Frederick, it’d be awesome.

Frederick:
I’m trying. Don’t worry.

Nicole:
We can do an in-person little trivia thing for fun.

Sommer:
Need to renew my passport.

David:
You still have time.

Frederick:
I’m Canadian so I can go to Vancouver any time I want, so that’s nice to have.

Nicole:
I find that really funny. Is it true that a lot of Americans don’t have passports ’cause they don’t need them?

Linda:
It’s true.

David:
Most Americans forget that they exist, that other countries exist.

Jenny:
That’s exactly right.

Darren:
There are places to go without one.

Nicole:
In England, as soon as we find out our passports are close to expiry, everyone goes and gets a new one ’cause you never know when you’re gonna have to hop over to France or something for a holiday.

Frederick:
It’s the same in Canada. We all have our passports because United States is right down.

Nicole:
It’s nice that you guys aren’t the same.

David:
New York is closer to London than New York is to Los Angeles.

Nicole:
Whoa.

David:
That’s how big our country is.

Nicole:
Incredible.

Jenny:
Most people are in border countries. So, for California, we keep it because we’re in Mexico all the time. It’s literally 20 minutes from here.

Nicole:
I still remember when we were talking at the thing. We were sitting around on the sofas at the hotel and I remember, I was like, “We’re gonna get Mexican food.” Jenny misheard me and she thought I said we’re gonna go to Mexico and Jenny was like, “Don’t go to Mexico!” I didn’t even comprehend that I could hop over to Mexico.

Jenny:
No, I truly thought you guys were gonna do it and I was responsible for you and all I think of was, “Oh, holy crap, it’s over.”

Nicole:
I didn’t realize we were that close for Jenny to be freaking out.

Sommer:
You can never underestimate Nicole. It’s not that crazy.

David:
That’s the thing, she could’ve been serious.

Jenny:
No, you could have. You and Yvie.

Nicole:
People think I’m wilder than I am.

Jenny:
Oh my God, you and Yvie loose!

David:
We’re gonna find out.

Nicole:
I’m a little innocent.

Sommer:
I’m looking forward to visiting with you on the show every so often as well and tuning in and watching.

David:
We will have guests.

Nicole:
Bring your Furling energy.

Sommer:
I’m looking forward to it and I would love to be there tomorrow, but I have pre-reservations out. I’m going out for the first time since this started. I’m swimming in a pool, swimming in a lazy river. I’m so excited.

Nicole:
It’s not swimming if it’s a lazy river.

Sommer:
So, you’re the first thing I’m gonna watch when I get home. I’m so excited. I’m so excited for you guys.

David:
Jeremy Heiner, I think he’s signed up to handle the moderating. Is that kind of the word?

Sommer:
Perfect.

David:
So, people will be able to ask questions from the audience and share with us. I have some rapid-fire ones that I’m gonna share with the other two and we’re gonna get to know each other.

Sommer:
That’s gonna be great.

Jenny:
I love it.

David:
And we’ll see the new setup of the show.

Jenny:
I can’t wait.

Yvie:
We’ll have some questions for you too, David.

David:
Can’t wait. Is there a composer in the audience who would like to do the theme for Wormhole X-Tremists? If you out there, reach out to me at [email protected]. I would really love a fan to come up with the theme.

Jenny:
That’d be so cool. Perfect.

David:
I could go to Neal Acree. He’d probably do it if I asked, but I would really love a fan to have this opportunity.

Jenny:
I think that’d be perfect.

David:
Curious to see how many composers are in the audience.

Jenny:
No kidding.

David:
This is all good. Guys, thank you so much for participating and spending your Sunday afternoon, evening, Monday morning with us.

Nicole:
Go to bed, Yvie.

Sommer:
Get some rest.

Yvie:
04:50.

Nicole:
And Allan, you poor thing.

Allan:
I’m going back to bed.

William:
David, thank you as always for getting us together. It’s always a treat to see everyone.

Jenny:
It is. I love it.

David:
You’re welcome. Absolutely, guys.

William:
It’s a huge mental reset for me personally. I do genuinely enjoy it.

Jenny:
I agree.

David:
Dude, you’re like six hours from me. Come over and stay a weekend.

William:
I need to do that.

David:
You’re not far. Maybe a little further than that.

Jenny:
I miss you guys.

William:
When I’m not working 60-hour weeks.

Jenny:
I miss being able to do stuff.

Nicole:
I wanna have some calls actually when we’re not online because having an audience is lovely.

Jenny:
I would love it. We were super fans of you.

Nicole:
I wanna swear.

Sommer:
We’ve done it many times. It’s been quite a while since our last one.

Jenny:
I know. It’s two years? No. Two years since we did.

Sommer:
Yeah. Like a year we did it.

David:
Every six months we can definitely do this, but we’ll see what’s going on. And Nicole, the fact that you wanna have some offline time just so you can swear…

Jenny:
I’m with her on that, I gotta be honest. It’d be great

Nicole:
It’s hard to filter it out. I wanted to say so many words.

David:
When we do R-rated movies on Wormhole X-Tremists, you are welcome to swear.

Sommer:
Gonna be great.

Jenny:
That’s a great idea. I love it. We’ll have bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep. I loved the bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep.

Nicole:
I’ll save the swearing for the latter half of the thing as David asks me to do ’cause apparently during the first half there, we can get some ads.

Sommer:
I’ll do your sound effects. I’ll do your sound effects for the bleeping for your show.

David:
Good. Good.

Sommer:
I’ll go “eeh” or “boop” or stuff like that.

David:
You gotta do something Stargate. Teal’c saying “Indeed” every single time, I swear.

Sommer:
Indeed.

Jenny:
That would be awesome.

David:
I’m gonna go ahead and wrap up the show, guys. If you guys wanna stick around we can talk after the fact but I’m gonna go ahead and wrap up, OK?

Sommer:
OK.

David:
All right. Thanks, guys. All right, thank you so much. Appreciate it, guys. See you in a bit.

Jenny:
Bye, guys.

Sommer:
OK, bye.

David:
Thank you for tuning into the last episode of Season Two of Dial the Gate. I’m gonna resubmit the link for Wormhole X-Tremists into the chat right now. So, if you have the chat loaded up, you will see that as well. Go there and subscribe. That’s where the live show is gonna be tomorrow. I know some people are gonna come back to Dial the Gate and I will have a video up pointing people to the other way. I’m not actually allowed to build the live stream for another 12 hours or so. Hopefully then they’ll give me permission, YouTube will give me a chance to unlock it. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that there’s “X-Tremists” in the title. Instagram immediately blocked my account and it’s because it had “X-Tremists” in the title. Anyway, thank you so much for tuning in. We’ve got merchandise and there’s that Peter DeLuise with a Shel’kek Nem’ron shirt. Dial the Gate is brought to you every week for free and we do appreciate you watching. If you wanna support our show further, buy or sell some of our themed swag. We offer T-shirts, tank tops, sweatshirts and hoodies for all ages, as well as cups and other accessories in a variety of sizes and colors at dialthegate.com. From the Merchandise tab, click on a specific design to see what items are being offered. Checkout is fast and easy. You can use your credit card or PayPal. Just visit dialthegate.com/merch. If you liked the show, please consider giving us a thumbs up. It really does help. My thanks to all of my guests all around the world who came forward for this. Big thanks to Darren for publishing the press release for Wormhole X-Tremists so we can extend our reach there. Huge thanks to my producer, Linda “Gate Gabber” Furey, for being at my side through this entire season, as well as my moderating team, Sommer, Tracy, Keith, Jeremy, Rhys and Antony. Can’t make the show possible without this. Big thanks to Frederick Marcoux at Concepts Web. Frederick during the show, he’s our web developer on Dial the Gate. Thanks to Jeremy Heiner, our webmaster who keeps the site going as well. My name is David Read for Dial the Gate. I really appreciate you tuning in. We’ve got a whole ton of stuff coming this summer. For Gatecon, that’s gonna be the beginning of Season Three and then the rest of Season Three will begin in earnest later in September or early October, along with Wormhole X-Tremists. So, that’s gonna happen at the same time. For Dial the Gate, I’m David Read and we’re just getting started.
