Will always love the scene where they're on Apophis's ship, looking down over the shield generator. Bra'tac states that to disable it, they need to go on some long cliche sci fi quest of going through multiple decks, flipping various controls, etc to disable the generator. O'Neill just calmly pulls out a couple grenades and drops them into the generator, destroying it.

That's why the Asgard wanted humans as allies. They had a unique but primitive way of tackling problems everyone else had forgotten.

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

"What do you mean we just blow up our brand new highly advanced spaceship?"

"WTF that worked?!"

[-] laranis@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 months ago

The "O'Neil". Writers were cleverer back then.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Or the time when the Asgard are like “your stupid method of using shotguns against the replicators is surprisingly effective.”

[-] marcos@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Well... It also worked against the Borg every time, but Star Trek people insisted on never replicating some.

Maybe they should send the Enterprise back in time to recruit somebody too.

[-] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Yup, that's the one!

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 1 points 4 months ago

The next bit is gold too.

What now?

Now we die.

Well that's a bad plan. Where are the glider bays from here?

[-] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Are these....shuttles...formidable warships?

[-] partial_accumen@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

Stargate wouldn't be C4, it would be a Zat'nik'tel.

  • one shot stuns
  • two shots kill
  • three shots vaporizes

Full credit to Shanks for asking the important questions how badly designed a plot device it is. "How long between shots does it reset on the same target?"

[-] Derpenheim@lemmy.zip 4 points 4 months ago

Nah man. P90

[-] lemmyng@piefed.ca 6 points 4 months ago

This (waves P90) is a weapon of war.

[-] _stranger_@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I love that the p90 was literally designed to be the opposite. it was supposed to be issued to truck drivers and other support type personnel (and close quarters peace time antiterrorism type stuff).

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Hey you, get that target swingin a little

[-] Ydna@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

No don't worry about that!

[-] laranis@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 months ago

I always assumed it was like dosing medication - depends on the person's weight and age.

[-] aaaa@piefed.world 2 points 4 months ago

Nothing has been disintegrated since 1969

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

It's an electric current. So it would be as long as the charge is still present. If it wears off, it resets

[-] MantisToboggon@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

A thoroughly rousing speech on space ethics from captain Janeway .

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Followed by breaking said ethics/morals/Prime Directive.

[-] MantisToboggon@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Found section 31.

[-] teft@piefed.social 1 points 4 months ago

With as much temporal shenanigans that she got up to it wouldn't suprise me if Janeway founded Section 31.

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 1 points 4 months ago

Or just telling the helmsman they're relieved and piloting the ship herself between two stars. Probably my favorite scene of hers. Fuck with her crew and she's pissed. Kill one of them, oh hell...

[-] grue@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Star Trek phasers can be rigged to be explode just fine. They have all the functionality of C4 plus some.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

TOS phaser with TNG Picard? C'mon

[-] PhatalFlaw@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Handy timing with the announcement of new Star Gate!

[-] pfjarschel@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Wait, what??

[-] PhatalFlaw@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Sorry to link YouTube, but yeah, check out the creators announcing it!

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

The sonic by far, a lightsaber is probably cooler and phasers are crazy versatile, by the time I stopped watching Doctor Who it was basically a magic wand if it wasn’t always.

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I'm pretty sure it's just a Green Lantern power ring. Doesn't work on wood my fanny...

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Can you imagine the mischief Scotty would have gotten into if he had a sonic screwdriver

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

It always was

[-] mctoasterson@reddthat.com 1 points 4 months ago

SG for the m'fn P90. Duh.

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Self sealing stem-bolts.

[-] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I'd gladly pay you yamok sauce on Tuesday for a self sealing stem-bolt today.

[-] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 0 points 4 months ago

I feel like an idiot.

Everyone wants these things and I don’t even know what they do.

I guess it doesn’t matter, they sell well.

[-] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

One of my oldest

[-] SatyrSack@quokk.au 1 points 4 months ago

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 0 points 4 months ago

C4? Please. How about using an actual Stargate to destroy a system?

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago
