The year was 2004. Horror-Slabamer, established by the first director of Sundance, offering a simple, yet anxious stimulating premise. What if two strangers found themselves in an empty, dilapidated bathroom, with two opposing strip shots to lead their possible survival? After the film rejected its original plan for a direct video to decide on a limited theater release instead, he continued to gross unexpected $ 104 million worldwide, becoming one of the most profitable horror eyelashes at the time.

This was the debut of the features of the Jameseshei Van, "See" (like Van's true debut -Function is considered lost media), who bloomed in an iconic media franchise, finding a way to adapt to changing the expectations that came with the genre. This impressive trip with a franchise, however, would have been impossible without Tobin Bell, who embodied the distorted, diabolical jigsaw puzzle from the first "saw" did not delete us with its threatening presence.

Bell's contribution to Saw as a franchise is basic, but before 2004, he was busy with smaller roles in a wide range of films, including Mississippi Burning and The Firm. These opportunities Paver the road for one -time performances in popular television shows such as Seinfeld and "Sopranos", along with the prominent role of villain in the second season of "24" What you may not remember is that he appeared in the first season of Stargate SG-1, which has already managed to attract a dedicated fanfare despite being a continuation of the Roland Emerich Science Science Drama, Stargat.

In case you need a "Stargate SG-1" refresher, the Syfy series revolves around the title of space exploration, using Stargate devices to travel flawlessly between the distant parts of the galaxy. While the role of Bell's "Saw" at the time did not make any waves at the time, it is joy to look back in this particular episode "Stargat" and to see it playing the Tolan complex, Omoc. The episode in question is "Enigma", where the SG-1 crew stumbles on Omot and his people by accident and do their best to help them escape their decaying home.

Given this quick context, let's look at the image of Bell and whether this episode "SG-1" is unforgettable.

Season 1 of Stargate SG-1 has taken the task of mammoth to establish a wider galaxy, which included the introduction of various galactic races that will end a more pronounced role in a row. Enigma introduces Tolan, who was once an advanced civilization with a crazy technological advantage over most other species, which made them adopt an isolationist policy during their existence.

This explains why Omot and his people are initially hostile to the SG-1 crew, as they see everyone in the Starghat command as inferior, as a result of the relatively stimulating technology to have access to the country. Omoc expresses anger after being saved, misrepresenting crew tolerance as incapacity, but several colleagues Tolan expressly interests in the crew's mission and their interpersonal relationships.

The reasons for Tolan's tragic decline are clear in this episode, as they are constantly rejecting help or are strictly critical of the help they have been given after being rescued from their home. There is a lot of rooted prejudices about unpacking, as Tolan's tendency to perceive everyone as "primitive" proves immensely problematic. However, this isolationist arrogance can be better understood after we look at their last past: years before their planet falls, Tolan shared his advanced technology with a development planet named Sarita, whose inhabitants were abused by creating weapons of mass destruction and erasing. Since the US government has prepared to take advantage of a similar advantage to their technology in the present, Tolan is understandably shown, refusing to cooperate.

This deadlock is broken thanks to Specific Dr. Daniel Acksexon (Michael Shanks), the smart, empathetic linguist of SG-1 Who is able to earn an attractive respect for Omoc by the end of the episode. Bell carries the cut arrogance of Omok with subtle mannerisms, as there is more on his personality than stunning warnings or skeptical pockets. When faced with Daniel Acksexon's easy seriousness, Omoc is visibly moved, especially when Acksecson and his team go to great length to protect Tolan from the US government. It is a great episode, predicting more complex guests like Omot, who were the source of energy at Stargat SG-1 and beyond.
