Chevron 3 encoded
.......am I doing it right? What's a chevron? Did I do a thing?
Chevron 4 encoded
The chevrons are the symbols on the Stargate. We need 7 of them to travel to another planet.
Chevron 5 encoded! Let’s gooooooo
Chevron 6.... Encoded
Unscheduled offworld activation
It's fucking Baal again
Close the iris!
Wait we are getting a transponder signal!
Open the- wait who is it?
it's Selmak, sir. and he says he's not gonna be a frustrating douche like last time
Open the iris a little bit.
you totally changed the trajectory of my night, thank you

Selmak was frustrating, but never a douche, in my opinion.
In fact, Jacob had such a strong impact on Selmak that they became almost a liability as far as the other tokra were concerned. He was too tempted to ignore thousands of years of protocol and precedent to assist the SGC.
It's a riff I have going with my wife that no one wants to hang out with the Tok'ra, and especially no one wants to hang out with the ancients, however, all of the great races want to hang with O'neil because (in your best Thor impression) "he's a good hang"
When they said they we showed promise and could be the fifth race, they meant for their bowling team.
there like… does seem to be an undercurrent that the great races meet O'Neil and are like "the tauri are close" and then meet Carter or Jackson and are like "on second thought…"
my read is that they appreciate O'Neil's pragmatic simplicity. he doesn't try to impress the other races, he tries to achieve the best possible outcome in any given situation. Carter and Jackson i think remind the other races of the ancients too much and from everything we can tell, the ancients aren't very good neighbors. the asgard even seem to believe that O'Neil is more advanced than the other tauri, and i think that's because he somewhat hews away from Ancient approaches and more toward Nox.
that said i do have critiques of O'Neil given that he exists as an air force propaganda tool
Flick the bean button faster!
Another one?!
“Okay, gang, we gotta make sure we get ALL of them this time. If you leave even one it’ll just make more.”

All flash and no...photo?
Chevron 7 Locked
Right in the middle of his backswing!
Other place: "UNSCHEDULED OFF-WORLD ACTIVATION!"
(Horn sounds)
"Wait: Is there a sunspot‽"
Prairie-dogging.
You technically don't have to say Locked on the last one, but it's Standard Operating Procedure by Walter to do so.
Fun fact: the actor ad-libbed in "locked" instead of "encoded" originally, and it worked well enough that it became a thing right then, pretty much.
Gary Jones is a treasure. Him, Peter DeLuise, (and the very rare Chris Judge) are easily the best of the DVD audio commentaries.
Are we long enough into the streaming era to completely give up on a revival of cast and crew commentary alt audio tracks? We are. 😞

After the intergalactic chevron 8 was discovered, surely it is mandatory.
Chevron 7… Encoded?
You fool! Chevron 7 is locked not encoded!
Unless…actually I can’t remember. Maybe it still gets encoded if you’re going to another galaxy or something? Anyone remember?
Yes, that’s why I put the ?
The first time they dialed another galaxy was the first time jack got the library of congress downloaded into his brain.
Best comment of this entire thread! 🏆
Chevron 8 is locked!
Chevron 9, multiverse is locked.
Wasn't Chevron 9 used for the Destiny? IIRC it was because Destiny was moving, so they needed a velocity coordinate.
I've not seen newer series, but surely you need more than one extra dimension to capture the direction of of the velocity.
The show is about the Air Force traveling the universe (where everyone speak English) using puddles designed by an ancestor race made up of Arthurian characters and later controlled by Egypitian and Norse Gods.
The math is sometimes a bit hand-wavey.
Oh thank god. For a while there I thought I was stuck on this planet with assholes like elon musk, and trump.
Ok, so, this new planet we're going to.....do they have bacon? Or should we find some left leaning farmers to bring some pigs for breeding?
Look, I'm excited to leave this hellhole called earth, but, c'mon. We gotta bring bacon.
But we don't have to bring pedophiles, or fascists. That's why we're leaving earth to begin with.
Sorry, Thor says meat eating is primitive and we have to leave the Bacon on Earth
the yellow ones are not bacon.
Someone needs to tell Kevin.
To be fair, I'm 50:50 on Elon being an alien that "accidentally" got left behind by his mates
You want to bring pigs, but also not bring pigs.
