This post contains spoilers for "Stargat SG-1".

The Stargate franchise's commitment to authenticity can be forwarded back to Roland Emerich's eponymous scientific action went extra mile to recreate ancient Egypt. His explosive popular monitoring, the Sefi SHI-SG-1 series, also dared to the authenticity commitment, as most of the special effects were practically achieved with very little involved CGI. This dedication, though impressive, proved to be a two -edged sword, as it was very easy for things to be overly complicated at a technical level, leading to the production of nightmares that represent potential security problems.

Marina Syris, best known for playing Denana Tri Advisor in Star Trek: The Next Generation and her four franchise -film films, resonate these feelings. Syrtis was portrayed as a guest star in Season 4, Episode 7 of "SG-1" (titled "Watergate"), in which Russian representative Svetlana Markov played. At one point in the story, Markov should jump off the plane along with the SG-1 crew, so these sequences were recorded under the supervision of real air force staff. This commendable commitment to realism did not go well with Syris, as she explains How was it hurt after it was made to wear a Really Heavy parachute:

"At one point, we had to jump off the plane. And because the SG-1 (crew) is the Air Force, and it has not been set for hundreds of years in the future, they actually had real guys on the Air Force as councilors (...) And he (the air force staff) said:" It's a real parachute. You know, everything is authentic on this show. "So, we're practicing jumping from the mattress substrate (...) And I went down like a mattress potato bag.

Syris doesn't have to laugh about the experience because her tone during the anecdote was pretty tongue, but she Whether Have a point for "SG-1" exaggerating realism. For example, she says the parachute stays in the bag all over the world, so there is no real need for no actor to donate "authentic Russian parachute parachute" during the scene. "You could have filled it with a newspaper. Havee was easier to 50kg. And today there would be no bad back," Syris joked, while saying he was not a fan of solid authenticity on the small screen.

This is not the only example of the SG-1 production team that goes on the board. The premiere of season 3 of the show, "In the Fire", ends with the tower being blown into pieces, but achieving this proved to be more than trouble. Production team ended with the use of greater fiery power than providedAnd the wooden tower of the props was essentially atomized because of the pure intensity of the explosion. Fortunately, the crew was only surprised and no one was injured. There was also a time when SG-1 leader Richard Dean Anderson accidentally stabbed in set (!), But it was more unwanted incident than something that could be blamed for defective props.

On the other hand, the show's determination to craft visual effects that effectively improve the quality of its world -class building has helped create some classic images. For example, the unstable vortex effect created by Starghat (generating a Shahosh! sound) in the original of Emerich was incredibly difficult to recreate, But the VFX team scored with the help of air cannons and water tank. Now, it's a kind of ingenuity that deserves to be appreciated.
