    I get that, you know, it’s a television show, but replaying that death scene over and over made it painfully obvious that all that “stone” was made out of styrofoam.

    Also, how contrived it was:

    Honey, I don’t feel safe standing under this 3-ton stone slab swinging precariously on a chain.

    Nonsense woman, I need you standing right here by my side while we get this thing in place.

    Spoofing that in the Wormhole X-Treme! episode was GOATed though.

      It deserved to be spoofed.

      I think Stargate is one of those rare shows that walks a fine line with not taking itself too seriously without being a comedy.

        One of the funniest moments of the series is when Teal’c gets a pop culture reference that Daniel doesn’t:

        MITCHELL: We got a guy who thinks himself to be a real John McClane here.

        JACKSON: What?

        TEAL’C (walking by, casually): Die Hard.
