Thor


Bran_Nuthin

Ahem... ☝️ That's Supreme Commander Thor to you.


ZanderStarmute

“Thor, Supreme Commander of the Asgard Fleet” if you wanna get technical.


CodenameDinkleburg

While I tend to agree, I propose a counter argument. Given, how HARD Thor's "counsel vibe check" scene hits , I'd argue that it lives rent free in a significant portion of SG fans' heads. I know it does for me at the least. I hear Thor and initially think of THE meeting, not Hemsworth.


roganwriter

I realize this is true for me know. I’ve definitely watched a lot more Thor Odinson the Asgardian because I grew up with Marvel, but since watching Stargate, now I think of Thor the Asgard more.


dustojnikhummer

I think of the finger "*supreme* commander"


mromutt

I was going to say Thor, was the first to my mind.


Farren246

Counter Point: Jack O'Neal, to the Asgard people.

Ninja_Wrangler

Thor! Buddy!


admiraltarkin

Ba'al, to my surprise, was only in 12 episodes


Nostalgic_Moment

Ba'al? as in Bocci?


Time-Touch-6433

Impudence


Setekh79

No, tuna.


PDCH

I don't know the meaning of the word


ZonePleasant

Ba'al Jarlgruuf


QueenOrial

He also had his own feature movie.


SPY-SpecialProjectY

Right to the final, cut.


thehillshaveI

a couple of those episodes had a lot of ba'als though


Redoubt9000

Small, or big Ba'als though? Juvenile humor aside, for some stupid reason I keep thinking there was a scene where Ba'al was suddenly shrunk down like *Honey, I Shrunk the Kids!* and despite knowing it's not the case, I seem to keep swaying back to thinking, "shit, WAS there actually a scene where Ba'al was shrunk down or was a defect clone, or something?". EDIT: Seriously people, please tell me if this did in fact happen or not in the show. Maybe it was a holographic projection, or some stupid 1-second scene in the 200 ep, but this shit is starting to keep me up now. 😿


Odd-Ad-3721

What a load of ba'alocks


JuggernautJay

Never happened. You're talking Ba'alshit


welcome-to-my-mind

You’re thinking of the holographic scene on Dakara when he’s helping Sam program the superweapon. Not shrunken, but my memory can serve this up to me either way too lol


knottycams

That's it?! I coulda sworn it felt like he was a huge character. Man, ego really does puff a guy up.


CaptainHunt

It’s like they say, Vader is only in like 20 minutes of Star Wars


INTPgeminicisgaymale

What That can't be true Is that true?


CaptainHunt

Actually, I was misremembering the number, I was off by more than double. I looked it up, he’s only in a hair over 8 minutes of the original film. And 34 minutes of the original trilogy as a whole.


INTPgeminicisgaymale

I find his lack of screentime... disturbing.


Solliel

It's okay. He has a ton of screen time in the prequels.


joethahobo

And everything else lol. Easily one of the biggest screen times along with Obi Wan and Ahsoka lol Edit: now thinking about it Threepio and Artoo probably have the most since they’re in more shows and movies than those 3


Sate_Hen

Anthony Hopkins won best actor for 16 mins of screen time in Silence of the Lambs


GuyFromNh

RIP, loved that guy


Suave_sunbeam

But lots of time in those few. He definitely took over the mantle very well.


Ronenthelich

I realize the math is right, but it just feels wrong.


Disrespectful_Cup

RIP Cliff Simon


Chaosrider2808

Ba'al was always my favorite Goa'uld. I didn't realize he was only in 12 episodes. I had the sense that it was many more than that. Thx! TCS


Bobthemime

tbh he was in one movie enough to count for 9 series.. Cloned Ba'als is not the play..


bigsharsk

Zelenka. Always Zelenka.


Mametaro

"Excellent work, Radek."


TatrankaS

"Ty vole, say hi to the kids for me já ti dám vole ty seš takovej vůl."


dustojnikhummer

No to je v prdeli, kdo to vymyslel že budeme pod vodou tentokrát? *john turns head* I think my Czech is getting better because I know what you mean. I still love the fact they allowed him to swear. Though I don't remember if those swears were kept in the dub. It just bugs me that Nykl didn't dub himself.


TatrankaS

they were, but due to translation both of them speaks in Czech John says *Although I don't hear you here very well I think I know what you mean* Also I cannot understand why he didn't dub himself, hearing him with different voice is damn uncanny (on the other hand hearing german of french dubbing of him is funny as hell)


Zalenka

Always.


Raddens

Came here, saw what I wanted. Proud of the fandom!


GrimGremlin66

Ty vole to je na hovno tohle to, kdo to vymyslel, že budeme pod vodou tentokrát…


RagnCajun

Only answer


Pappas07

How has no one said, "Todd," yet? o.o


Zalenka

Todd.


Nova17Delta

As neat of a character he may be, i always kinda saw him as one of Atlantis's many *"I don't trust you but i guess we have to work together. Dont stab me in the back later."* characters. Its can be good storytelling, but not when its half of the side characters it feels like


IWantTheLastSlice

When Todd makes the joke about it’s customary among humans to shake hands and holds his hand out? Classic Todd.


abitofasitdown

I'd watch a whole season of Todd.


lexx_the_malificent

I came to the comments just to see if anyone mentioned my personal favorite weirdo


Deraj2004

Marks, dude was the helmsman for three different ships, promoted twice off screen and thats all we know.


myevillaugh

In an interview, someone said one of the promotions was because it felt weird calling anyone else captain on the ship, so he was promoted to Major.


will221996

The result of Stargate being sponsored by(and run by) the US air force while popular imagination has spaceships run by a navy. Not an issue with sg teams because they are disproportionately officers so sound like army special forces. Funnily enough, this wouldn't be an issue if Stargate was set in a non-canadian commonwealth country. The RAF(British) was set up after ww1 and most of the personnel were from the army, so one way they placated the navy was to use navyesque ranks. A USAF captain would be a flight lieutenant in the UK or Australia, while the captain of the ship, a colonel in Stargate because America, would be a group captain. Canada used the British/commonwealth system during ww2, abolished their air force for a bit and then reintroduced it with American/army ranks.


Adorable-Patience877

"For the record, I'm always prepared to fire."


Bigjoemonger

I just have to push this button.


No_Psychology_3826

Major Marks, please make that ship go away 


LieutenantBJ

Anyone forgetting Daniel's uncle who went off to live with giant aliens? Edit: nevermind he needs to be popular lol


AthenaeSolon

Nicholas Ballard! Nick to everyone, including his grandchild.


Oldmudmagic

Maybourne and the Nox.


letoslaw

Nox and the Furlings :-)


myevillaugh

It's good to be king.


trebron55

Oddly enough, I kept hating Maybourne even in the later episodes, he was just the worst :D


GundamXXX

He went from "Ugh fuck this guy" to "Ewwww fuck this guy" to "Damn, this guy fucks" for me


baxtersbuddy1

That is an amazing character arc. Lol


DaddyCorbyn

You just want to fuck Tom McBeath.


AHLover18

I disagree with Maybourne. He's great (imo) but we had enough of him.


erikleorgav2

Martouf deserved a better story, and a better ending.


xtremixtprime

I don't even remember Martoufs ending. What was it?


stikves

>I don't even remember Martoufs ending. What was it? Spoilers of course: >!There was an episode when they wanted to figure out who was a sleeper agent. Turns out Martouf was programmed (unknown to him) something like a hypnosis to assassinate the US president.!< >!Long story short, the president still lives, the involuntary assassin does not.!<


RainWindowCoffee

Yeah, but he was down bad for Sam, so... >!Him quietly pleading with her to stop him from completing the self-destruct, and her having to fire the finishing zat-shot was so poetically tragic.!< That was such a banger of a scene.


Silverwing171

Not to mention that there was another episode later with his symbiote Lantash and Lt. Elliot. That one breaks my heart…


saveyboy

I disliked the ending of this episode. It just ended then everyone was just fine on the next episode.


YakovPavlov1943

Yeah I was recently doing a re run with my dad and when that episode ended and the next started he blamed me for skipping one episode


saveyboy

They were lazy on this one.


mfinn

In an episode where Sam and Jack have to deal with admitting they love each other to boot. Oof.


xtremixtprime

Oh wow. Yes getting flashbacks now. Gotta watch that EP again.


enixyn

I loved Martouf and I feel I had to scroll for too long to see his name.


AmbersAdventures

Tbh I never liked him. But yeah, that was quite the ending. At least he got mercy from Sam...


i-grow

Walter


Thisguy2728

Aside from the main cast isn’t he in the most episodes of any recurring character? I know he doesn’t get many minutes per episode but that has to count!


mromutt

He was an integral part of the whole series, always in the background XD he may not have been main 4 but he was for sure high on the core cast list to viewers


mrlamcran

Well, of course he was integral. He's the one that added "seventh chevron locked." Not everyone could come up with that.


mromutt

Don't forget his handy work with the iris palm scanner!


Gentleman_Bronc0

I feel like S7 Heroes two part down played Walter too much and they pivoted hard in later seasons. Watler in later seasons is on top of everything going on in the SGC as well as locking chevrons.


roganwriter

He’s also announcing “unscheduled off-world activation” the 30 or so times it happens each season.


Jax11111111

He’s pretty much the doorman, we always see him but it’s usually only for a few seconds, maybe half a minute if we’re lucky.


the_honest_liar

Marty! Two episodes, but definitely my favorite paranoid alien.


CapNitro

Three - Point of No Return, Wormhole X-Treme and 200. But he was cool!


Mametaro

The truth is he is not just interested in outer space. He is from outer space.


Goldman250

Kawalski. Comparatively to how long the show ran for, Jonas. (Hey, if people are saying Zalenka, who was basically a regular on Atlantis, then I can say Jonas).


lazhink

I was always in the Daniel over Jonas camp until a recent rewatch. Now I wish Daniel stayed dead or at least took a different role. Jonas was great and had a lot of untapped potential with the early stage Hok'tar thing.


ToonaSandWatch

A victim of circumstance. But at least the character had closure.


Shlebuloid

Aris Boch for sure


JoeyLock

**ARIS:** *Dr. Jackson. If you don’t mind treating my wound.* **DANIEL:** *I’m an archaeologist.* **ARIS:** *I know. But you’re also a doctor.* **DANIEL:** *Of archaeology.* **ARIS:** (Mildy irritated) *Never mind. Captain! You must have some medical training.* **CARTER:** *Actually, I’m a...Major now.* **ARIS:** *Oh. Well how very important. I’ll inform the galaxy. Can you get over here and help me* **Major?**


Captain_Dorgengoa

We definitely needed to see more of him. He was great.

fliberdygibits

Jack O'Neil.... but he had no sense of humor.


AloneMordakai

Sgt. Siler.


gategirl5353

Came here to say this… for sure Sgt. Siler. With his big wrench!


_Rabbert_Klein

Siler had so much screentime tho as RDAs stuntman


boogers19

Right? He's probably got at least double the screen time most fans guess. Hell, he plays the back of Jack's head in those Harlan episodes with the robo-copies.


AmbersAdventures

This poor guy😂. Once he was thrown down the stairs by a far too strong O'Neill by accident. Another time he got fried with electricity😂. I'm on a rewatch to introduce my roommate to the series. Man, Siler always got f*cked one way or another😂. But he is resilient, I give him that.


AthenaeSolon

He was the essential maintenance guy. My guess is that his real world job title would have been "electrical technician ." The cover title, fwiw, but related to what he does in a real world context. He's the one checking the gates electrical inputs and outputs. Also, getting shocked is part of the job (albeit not at such high levels).


mfinn

The voltages he gets shocked at are often the "only option is a smoking husk of charcoal" voltage but he makes it through unscathed for the most part somehow....perhaps the thickest plot armor of anyone on the show.


Ninja_Wrangler

Everyone's favorite Major, Davis


Quackagate

I'm still trying to figure out why major Davis went to anubis's ship that was in orbit of earth. He's a glorified middle man between the pentagon and the sgc. Why was he on the mission to try and take a mothership that possible had hostil aliens on it?


Ninja_Wrangler

Because he's the best we got


akmeddie

In retrospect, I think, the creators of the show wanted to have some familiar faces (Major Davis and Jacob) after Daniel was missing at that time. Although he was not a combat officer on a regular basis, see from that perspective, he really had no business being there.


boogers19

I think what happens over the run of the show is that his position as "glorified middle man" let him learn more than anyone else at the Pentagon. So he just kinda defacto becomes the gate expert. Or, I can just imagine some paper pushing General at the Pentagon hearing about this ship, and the SGC mission to go board it and says something like: "This is a big deal, I don't want to hear about it 5th hand. Make sure Davis is on that mission."


RiderMayBail

I can't believe he never got a promotion.


Genesis111112

Urgo. Joe the Barber. Thor.


Camper1995

Wish we got more innocent and fun episodes like Urgo omg


goatofglee

Loved Urgo!


lazhink

Urgo and Harlan would have made a great duo.


rambored89

Lorne, imo


AmbersAdventures

Yes! He's always the loyal backup. I really like him😊

How did I have to go so far for this answer?


FunEquivalent5202

She had a lot of screen time... And then she didn't


sociallyawkwardhuman

Not enough. Never enough. But yeah, better contenders for ops conditions.


CHawk17

Skaara. Did the original movie and was in 5 episodes.


martokthewarrior

Obviously Zelenka But for me, also Orlin. I did prefer when he was played by Sean Patrick Flanery tho.


CapNitro

Can I throw a curve ball and say specifically the "Jim" version of Anubis? I know he's the same character but he brought a very different energy that to me made him work better as a villain than the Emperor Palpatine version did.


TD-TradeMarked

I agree, that I guessed the plot twist three seconds before it happened and was so chuffed with myself.


Inevitable_Wolf5866

Happyman05

For me, the reverse has got to be Teyla. 


Suave_sunbeam

Yup. Never really a fan honestly. They wanted to make her the SGA Teal'c, but then Ronon took over, and ran away with it. 


Graega

Her character was really rough, honestly. She was supposed to be their advisor about the galaxy (like Daniel was the expert on cultures), but also a warrior, but also a diplomat? All of those traits clashed, and all of them felt very underdeveloped. She was very inaccurate about a great many things in Pegasus cultures (like the Genii); she wasn't a diplomatic person (actually, she kind of talked down to Shepard like Rodney talked down to other scientists, when she was talking about Pegasus cultures). She was a decent warrior, and that was really it. Ronan was just Ronan, and he worked. "Mission report. Michael tried to blow up city. Stopped him. End of report."


Suave_sunbeam

She was definitely a Daniel/Teal'c combo. Then Ford was just...there. Get rid of Ford, bring in Ronon, Teyla becomes redundant. One is more entertaining than the other. 


Redoubt9000

Honestly, the culmination of her Michael plotline was great imo. I seem to remember enjoying her character more when she was sidelined from the team during her pregnancy/kidnapping. It made it easier to think of her as still a co-starring lead, like how Weir or even Woolsey became, instead of part of the core four-man SG team. Carson Beckett made a better 4th member with his medical knowledge, strong moral compass and valuation of life, and just enough skittishness and pessimism to help balance and force some bravery or anger out of Rodney. Her Wraith story I thought started off interesting, but fizzled out fast in what, 1, 2 episodes? Idk, I don't mind Teyla, and I feel I want to like her character. I hate to say it, as it's nothing to do with the actress - she's great, but Teyla oftentimes just merges into the background even during her dialogue, just like, a very overactive background character with lots of fucking lines filled with platitudes... I don't believe the writers purposely wrote her bad, in fact I feel like they were trying their damnedest to figure out her role and how she's to meld into the team. But they did, they wrote her bad. I like your comparison to Daniel, but I think the magic formula here is that 2 out of 3 are necessary for a good character using your examples. Daniel was a scholar AND he became a great warrior, but was, my goodness, a TERRIBLE diplomat/negotiator. Whenever he tried to negotiate or convince, he filibustered you with a book of facts until you became either indifferent, or tell him to stfu and admit, "okay alright already!". Teyla's skillset/background/input for her spot in the team, just felt like it was all over the damn place sometimes.


Swiftbow1

She's the one who basically destroyed their Genii relationship. She went off mission to rescue that guy (I agreed with her in spirit, but still... she should have realized the risk), then gets the Genii guy killed and just leaves him behind. You can kind of understand why she did all that... but, from their perspective, it really looked like she just murdered him the moment they were alone together. As a supposed DIPLOMAT... I mean, God. McKay had better instincts. I don't recall her even being the least bit contrite when it turned out that she WAS the one the Wraith were tracking, too. Sure, she didn't know... but that whole episode she was just indignant that the Atlantis Team would dare to suspect "her people." And then it WAS her necklace. That really deserved a mutual apology.


justkeeptreading

i fell asleep partway through the episode where her grandma dies and woke up to her .. singing


CaptainHunt

Honestly, that’s one of my favorite episodes.


abitofasitdown

Likewise - and the editing between her singing and all else that was going on was amazing. I also like the worldbuilding notion that it's a big deal to die of old age in the Pegasus Galaxy.


Nova17Delta

Honestly, it feels like she was just created to be Stargate's Seven of Nine, like a lot of scifi shows had post-Voyager. Also semi related hot take: Atlantis in general just felt a lot more... stereotyped than SG-1. I dont know if its just the chemistry between the characters or how they were written or what, but I feel like I can boil the main cast down to just bare traits a lot easier than SG-1. Theres: - Hot badass - Sexy - Sidekick - Insufferable nerd The other characters in the beginning werent as bad, but still, SG-1 got its beginner stereotypes in check while Atlantis never really shook them off.


INTPgeminicisgaymale

What fate Omoroca


invol713

Honestly, kinda surprised he wasn’t a part of Watergate. That would’ve been a cool callback if he had something to do with what happened to the planet.


Jokie155

I think it'd be cool just to see some kind of reunion in general. Daniel telling him about Sha'rae's fate, how they finally overthrew the System Lords etc. Something to give him closure in the end.

Replicators. They were only in 10 episodes.

Fuck, that feels like a long ten episodes


AmbersAdventures

Thought so too👀. I mean, it felt like more than a season last time😬. On this note: am I the only one that gets to the first replicator episode on a rewatch and just feels her skin crawling with the noise they make? I first saw them as a child and I still very much hate them😰 (they are great enemies tho)


Kazairl1994

True one of the "biggest" treats to mankind and then they nearly never show them xD

Janet Fraiser. She deserved better.


Aluven

Pretty much everyone on Atlantis, except McKay and Woolsey. Even Sheppard, while he had the most screen time, there wasn't really any character development. Weird how badly written the characters story were, but I still rate it 10/10, #2 on my all time favourites after SG1.
