The more things change, the more they stay the same...

Watching Behind the Mythology of Stargate SG-1 on Youtube (you can find part 1 here) and trying not to choke from laughing at it.

First off, could Brad Wright get any more fawning over someone in particular (no prizes for guessing who)? [To avoid nausea, just skip the last minute or so of part 1] Oh lord, they actually mentioned the movie! But it doesn't have that special someone without whom everything is pointless, so does it really count? *sends sympathetic vibes towards the SG:A parts of her flist, who will soon appreciate this even more*

Secondly, what's with the '8 long and exciting seasons'? Did nobody notice this minor continuity gaffe considering that they're showing scenes from season 10 in the actual show? I guess we shouldn't expect much more in terms of continuity though... Still, I guess if you pull out the entirety of season 6 and various crappy episodes along the way ('Avenger 2.0', I'm looking at you!) then I guess you probably get about 8 good seasons' worth. ;)

Thirdly, what is Mallozzi doing spouting off about what the Jaffa were meant to be? He wasn't even involved with the show for another three seasons! Jeez.

Well, isn't that a telling statement from TIIC? First they decided the Goa'uld were too powerful, so they created the Asgard as some kind of balance to that, but then why haven't the Asgard wiped out the Goa'uld? Erm, because it's not their way? Nope, it's because there's something even more powerful out there, in the shape of the replicators! I wonder if this line of thought continues... hey, the Ancients are more powerful than the replicators, but what if we have evil Ancients, surely they'd be even more powerful still? *headdesk*

I noticed they cut away to someone else for Daniel's description. Maybe BW can't actually say Daniel's name without choking.

As for the Sam Luv - pass me a bucket.

Shanks has made a number of jokes about how Cooper dislikes him and the feeling is obviously mutual. But Shanks usually speaks well of BW. Since BW can't seem to give a usable sound bit in praise of Daniel, I can't help but wonder if he doesn't have a strong streak of the pettiness, too.
