It felt like something that should be about three quarters into a movie from 10 years ago, right before the good guys make their stand and turn things around or something like that... Kinda like the writers just decided to Insert Noble Sacrifice Here. Anyway, correct me if I'm wrong, but the guy was toast regardless, right? Didn't he have like profuse internal bleeding and no major medical options at the time? Is it just me, or was the whole selfless sacrifice thing kinda weak and terribly cliché?

Personally, I've seen the original movie and found it fantastic in its time, and I have seen a couple of episodes of SG-1 but never really watched it - it's got MacGyver, though, so it's awesome by default. Atlantis... I have seen a few minutes. I don't know what the hell was going on, but there appeared to be some freaky deaky aliens with names taken from Norse mythology, and that alone made me change the channel and very nearly throw up a little due to sheer cultural outrage :-P This one looks like it might work out, though, although (among some niggling details) their security measures when testing out a Stargate with an unknown destination are... well, laughable. Seriously, they're gonna let Not-Baltar, a US senator (with tag-along daughter/aide) and the Video Game Kid just hang out in the room with minimal protection while they dial the thing? I mean, it is configured to only dial out, but once it's open it works both ways, and they have no idea what's on the other side, right? :-P I have been assured repeatedly that SG-1 is excellent, and that Atlantis is watchable.

Plus, did it look like the flying ball could have manipulated that control with enough finesse? The Baltar guy is as smart as McKay, but not as communicative. When the gamer asked, "Don't you care?" his reply changed my interpretation of his character.

I think every fancy bastard would love to have that in the living room. If you want some money, you should use the Giant-Ass HE sign, sign it and eBay it.
