History Film / StargateContinuum

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: It's very, ''very'' relative when you're talking about the Goa'uld, but all of the other System Lords are completely, genuinely baffled by the fact that Ba'al ''isn't'' reigning death and destruction down on Earth like they would have done. In the end, [[spoiler: Qetesh gets tired of trying to figure out his plan and just kills him.]]

* ListOfTransgressions: This film provides the current page quote. [=SG1=] is asked to be present at the execution of the last (probably) Ba'al clone. Apparently the Tok'ra felt the need to list ALL of his crimes.

->[[spoiler:'''Teal'c:''']] My Lord! Shall I enact your final instructions?\\
'''Ba'al:''' No, you idiot, save me!

!!''Stargate Continuum'' provides examples of the following tropes:

* DeadLittleSister: Subverted. Daniel assumes that the O'Neill of the altered timeline also lost his son to a gun accident many years ago -- which was what had happened in the original timeline -- but it turns out that he's alive and well. This only serves to disgust alternate O'Neill that Daniel would suggest something so horrible, and enhances his refusal to believe their story.

** O'Neill refuses to buy it, partly because [[DeadLittleSister what Daniel tries to use]] as proof happened very differently in the alternate timeline.

* TalkingToThemself: At one point, Daniel Jackson contacts his alternate timeline self on the phone to tell him he knows the thing he wrote is true (basically the alternate timeline version of Daniel Jackson was a failed author who wrote a theory on the effects of wormhole travelling and was dismissed as a crackpot).

* DyingCurse: [[spoiler:Apophis]] gets a damn good one, just before he is executed by Ba'al. Even Ba'al compliments him on it.
-->[[spoiler:'''Apophis:''']] May your reign be measured in hours, and your death in years.

* DyingCurse: [[spoiler:Apophis gets a damn good one, just before he is executed by Ba'al:]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Apophis:''' May your reign be measured in hours, and your death in years.]]

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Ba'al. He really should have seen the [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder betrayal]] coming. [[spoiler:Although one could argue on Ba'al's defense that he had actually been infatuated with [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Qetesh's]] [[MeatPuppet host]] Vala to the point where he might have [[LoveMakesYouDumb forgotten or overlooked]] just how much of a liability Qetesh really was.]]
** Also possible as mentioned above that [[spoiler: so long working around humans and building his new and improved empire of fluffy happy domination had dulled his instincts about just how insanely cutthroat the other System Lords normally would be.]]

* RippleEffectProofMemory: For some reason, all of SG-1 are physically Ripple Effect Proof even when the world crumbles around them. [[{{handwave}} Hand waved]] away by being [[{{TechnoBabble}} "outside of our normal-space time in the wormhole when the timeline deteriorated."]] Though they presumably weren't outside of space time while they were running for the gate with time rippling and removing buildings and people around them.
** However once can infer that since Ba'al had yet to invade Earth in the alternate-timeline and the Stargate was lost, then only their memories of the last ten years would have been altered when reality changed. In comparison, Vala still being host to Qetesh, Teal'c still serving as First Prime and the Tok'ra being destroyed were ''major'' changes, hence why they were the first to be affected.

* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:Teal'c with Qetesh at the end.]]

* BackedByThePentagon: The Navy, long jealous of the Air Force's role in the series, got their own here, including a submarine breaking the ice.
** That is, the Los Angeles Class submarine seen in the movie is real, and so is her crew. While the camera was rolling, Richard Dean Anderson was ordering around real Navy sailors.

* TheOner: The movie starts with one.

* YouAreNotAlone: Daniel attempts to phone his counterpart, long-since discredited for [[AncientAstronauts his theories]], telling him he was ''TheCloudCuckooLanderWasRight right]]'' and not to give up. Unfortunately, his counterpart believes he's being mocked and hangs up.

* HeroicSacrifice: SG-1 certifies and laminates their BadassCrew card when the five of them get wasted one-by-one holding off Qetesh's Jaffa hordes. A CrowningMomentOfAwesome as well.
