History Trivia / StargateSG1

* OldShame:
** The infamous full-frontal nudity scene in ThePilot, "Children of the Gods", has been brought up as such by both producer Brad Wright and actress Vaitiare Hirshon (Bandera), as noted in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0m2jwM7rzPg this 2021 interview]]. The scene was allegedly mandated by Creator/{{Showtime}} in order to increase audience engagement, and neither Wright nor Hirshon -- the latter of whom was told that she would have to go full-frontal, but that the angles would be cut so as to be non-nude, and was then forced to re-sign a contract authorizing use of the footage -- were informed of the change until shooting wrapped. Wright did a ReCut in 2009 to remove said content.
** Not the series itself, but the disintegration feature of Zats. The writers have frequently mentioned in episode commentaries what a bad idea that was, to the point where they mock it in-universe in "Wormhole X-treme!".
** Carter's EstablishingCharacterMoment monologue has been ''repeatedly'' mocked in subsequent episodes, as no one on the staff liked it.
** The first-season episode ''Hathor'', to the point it's borderline CanonDiscontinuity. Much of what was established in the episode was quietly retconned, and while Hathor herself returned to be KilledOffForReal at the end of Season 2 and start of Season 3, the only other reference made is in ''Heroes'', where Janet is going over O'Neill's medical history in the SGC with a documentarian, and sets aside one file stating "This is the 'Hathor incident,' which the Colonel has asked me [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain never to discuss."]] Similarly, the first season episode ''Emancipation'' is also frequently overlooked and seen as one of the worst episodes by both the cast and production team.

* ChannelHop: From {{Showtime}} to the [[Creator/{{Syfy}} Sci Fi Channel]] in 2002, after season 5 wrapped.

* TalkingToHimself: Michael Shanks voices several Asgard, including Thor, so whenever one of them and Daniel Jackson are talking to one another, it's an example of this. Lampshaded when speaking to [[InsufferableGenius Kvasir]], Daniel dryly comments he misses Thor.

* TropeCodifier: For IDieFree.
* TropeNamer: This series named the following tropes:
** AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence
** EngagingChevrons [[invoked]]
** OpenTheIris ([[ThisIndexIsNotAnExample although it's not an example]])
** RememberWhenYouBlewUpASun

* DoingItForTheArt: One of the "flashbacks" from "200" features an incident where O'Neill was rendered invisible; one of the scenes features him walking down a hallway and talking with Teal'c, but since he is invisible he can only be located by the coffee cup that he is carrying at the time. The plan was to have one of Richard Dean Anderson's stand-ins or stunt-doubles actually perform the scene, since it would require wearing a full-body green suit in order to have the body edited out in post-production, but RDA insisted on actually performing the scene himself. You still cannot see him, since he is invisible, but hopefully you can just ''tell'' that it is '''really''' O'Neill walking with Teal'c.

%%* FakeNationality:

** The episode summaries that come with the box-set DVD releases for the series are often wildly incorrect with regards to basic information about the show. This includes the occasional misnaming of technology and aliens, [[CriticalResearchFailure but also refers to the show as taking place on a ship, with SG-1 as "the crew".]]

** An odd semi-example: When [[spoiler:Apophis]] is [[TheFaceless masked]] while under the alias Na'onak, he is played by Creator/DionJohnstone instead of [[spoiler:Creator/PeterWilliams]].

* AuthorsSavingThrow: The first episode basically delivers one to justify the film's claim that Ra was the last of his race; Daniel speculates in the first episode that Ra was just the first of his race to take humans as hosts and others since follow his example. Fanon has also speculated that Ra's previous host was an Asgard to justify its appearance.

* CreatorBacklash: Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, the team behind the original movie, have had less than kind things to say about the TV series overall, which is why they refused to get a "created by" credit for it, and at one point planned to make a direct sequel to the film that would have completely ignored the TV series just to spite it.
** Ultimately subverted by Devlin in a 2020 [[https://youtu.be/V0nvUbs25KI interview]] with ''Gateworld'' as while he was uncomfortable with the nudity in the PilotEpisode (which understandably was a result of ExecutiveMeddling, thus syndicated airings and the ReCut version remove said content), he came to believe that the passion of SG-1's fanbase reflected the fact that Brad Wright and Jonathan Glassner had created a really good show, having reached out to Glassner for the first time.

* FanNickname:
** Before he finally got named "[=CSgt=] Walter Harriman", the guy with the longest total tenure shouting out [[EngagingChevrons which chevron they're currently on]] was called "Chevron Guy".
** Replicator Carter is frequently compressed to [=RepliCarter=].
** "Fargate" for the {{retool}}ed Seasons 9 and 10, due to it having two of the ''Series/{{Farscape}}'' actors having main roles in the show.

** AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence ("Meridian")
** CoolGate
** CrystalSkull ("Crystal Skull")

** Brad Wright was not very proud of the full-frontal nudity in "Children of the Gods", which is why he did a ReCut in 2009 to remove said content.

** Starting in season nine, Ba'al began cloning himself, with Creator/CliffSimon playing multiple Ba'als in several episodes.

* ActorInspiredElement: Jack O'Neill's frequent references to[[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons The Simpsons]] came from Richard Dean Anderson's love of the show.

* WordOfSaintPaul: The finale of the series contains a long TimePassesMontage with little to no dialogue throughout. Several of the actors involved have given their take on what happened -- such as Creator/AmandaTapping and Chris Judge saying they played their parts as if Sam and Teal'c had developed a relationship, and Michael Shanks saying the reason that Vala is crying and being consoled by Daniel in one scene is because she miscarried.
