Line 33:
* [[Throw It In]]: According to the producers on commentaries, most of O'Neill's humourous dialogue for the first two seasons were improvised by RDA. After that, the writers got used to his sense of humour.
* [[Turn in Your Badge]]: Subverted. {{spoiler|It was a [[Reverse Mole]] plan to recover technology stolen by a rogue SG team.}}
* [[Ultimate Job Security]]: He's broken enough rules and caused enough trouble to get himself court-martialed every day of the week but he keeps his rank and his post.
* [[Unresolved Sexual Tension]]: By the bucketful with Samantha Carter.
* [[The Watson]]: He's the one asking Daniel "What are those people doing" or asking Sam "What's that thing do" so they have an opportunity to explain.
Line 43:
* [[And Starring]]: Starting with season 7, he appeared in the opening under "And Michael Shanks as Daniel Jackson."
* [[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence]]: So nice, he did it twice.
* [[Adventurer Archaeologist]]: This is ''his'' opinion of what the Earth Stargate should be used for.
* [[Back From the Dead]]: So many times it's become a [[Running Gag]].
* [[Badass Bookworm]]: Well, as close to [[Badass]] as he could possibly get being a squishy civilian scientist.
Line 49:
* [[The Cameo]]: The ''[[Stargate Universe]]'' pilot had Eli learn about the stargate program by watching DVDs hosted by Daniel.
* [[Cunning Linguist]]
* [[Five-Man Band]]:
** [[The Lancer]]: Clashes with O'Neill about how to handle conflict.
** [[The Smart Guy]]: An archeologist/anthropologist/linguist.
** [[The Face]]: The civilian on a military team. He's definitely the team diplomat and the one putting the polite and peaceful foot forward in negotiations.
* [[Heroic Sacrifice]]: But he kept coming back.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Possibly accidental, but as mentioned in "Upgrades", "Daniel" means "God is my judge" in Hebrew. Think about that for a minute.
* [[Messiah Creep]]: This aspect seems to have diminished starting with Season 7, mostly because the Ancients were revealed to have been incredibly [[Neglectful Precursors]] and less worthy of his idolation.
** The reason the Ascended Ancients kicked him out was because he was too much [[The Messiah]], not wishing to sit idle while he had the power to actively help people, which was against their rules.
* [[Mr. Exposition]]: This is the guy talking about ancient Babylon or future world or whatever.
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]
* [[Nerds Are Sexy]]
Line 109:
*** Its also conceivable that he listened to O'Neill's point that a Staff Weapon is a weapon designed to terrify the enemy, whereas the P90 is a weapon designed to kill the enemy.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: "Teal'c" means "strength" in Goa'uld.
* [[Mook Face Turn]]: He was Apothis' First Prime before turning on his subordinates.
* [[Nice Hat]]: Wears a variety of chapeaux whenever he has to go in public, ranging from a fishing hat to a fedora, to a big ole cowboy hat and a fake afro and headband.
* [[Not So Stoic]]: Teal'c displays true emotion rarely, which makes those moments where he does exhibit rage, fear, or sorrow all the more poignant.
Line 120:
* [[Spock Speak]]
* [[The Stoic]]: Takes some surprisingly uncomplicated moral positions. Like feeling no guilt at killing an alternative universe version of himself because 'Ours is the only reality of consequence' and that Teal'c still believed the Goa'uld were gods.
* [[Token Heroic Orc]]: He's a Jaffa, i.e. the mooks SG-1 fights whenever the Goa'uld show up. He's there to prove they're not all bad.
* [[Warrior Poet]]
* [[You Can't Go Home Again]]: Because you are a traitor and your family is shunned even by other outcasts.
== Major General George Hammond (Don S. Davis) ==
Line 128:
Original leader of Stargate Command. Was a [[Bait and Switch Tyrant]] in the first episode, but eventually became a complete pushover who instantly approved nearly any request made by SG-1, no matter how outlandish. The change was signified when he stopped regularly wearing his USAF uniform in favor of a simple blue shirt with a tie, a dress code that was later followed by his eventual successor, General Landry. Was referred to as "Hammond of Texas" by Teal'c's [[Mentor]], Bra'tac. Resigned in favor of Elizabeth Weir for the duration of the [[Poorly-Disguised Pilot]] for ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]'', who was in turn soon replaced by Jack O'Neill.
* [[Badass Grandpa]]: He has grandchildren and, when he goes into the field, he is badass.
* [[Bait and Switch Tyrant]]: One of his first acts was to try to blow up an inhabited planet. It wasn't long before he was downright fluffy, though.
* [[Bald of Awesome]]
* [[Benevolent Boss]]: Looks out for the people under his command (even the guests in his facility).
* [[Big Damn Heroes]] / [[Gunship Rescue]]: "Lost City."
* [[The Character Died with Him]]: Don Davis died of a heart attack a few years after retiring from the show, and Carter mentions in ''[[Stargate Atlantis|Atlantis]]''' series finale that Hammond died the same way. ''[[Stargate Universe|Universe]]'s'' USS ''George Hammond'' is named in his honor.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Godspeed" and "You have a go."
* [[The Chains of Commanding]]: His more malicious acts (like the above mentioned planet bombing) were because he had orders and unlike Jack "I follow my orders."
* [[Da Chief]]: General in command of Stargate Command and the ones the heroes answer to. Sitting behind a desk and saying "[[You Have 48 Hours]]" is mostly his role. Unusual for the role he doesn't worry about backlash from the President if he tweaks the rules.
* [[A Father to His Men]]: "As long as there is a snowball's chance in hell of my officer coming out of this alive we're going to take it!" He even addresses Kawalski as 'son'.
* [[Line in the Sand]]: "Into the Fire."
* [[Papa Wolf]]: Often acts this in spades towards SG-1.
Line 149:
For some reason, never appeared in the opening credits despite effectively being a regular. The SGC's medical officer, she often saved SGC members and aliens from the brink of death. She was a nurturing, motherly figure, best expressed when she adopted the alien girl Cassandra. Became Samantha Carter's best friend. [[Dropped a Bridge on Him|Had a bridge dropped on her]] in the season 7 two-parter "Heroes." Was eventually succeeded by Dr. Carolyn Lam in Season 9.
* [[Action Mom]]
* [[Badass Damsel]]: Even when she's held at gun point, it's not a good idea to piss her off.
* [[Brainy Brunette]]: More like Brainy Redhead.
Line 158:
* [[Majorly Awesome]]
* [[Mama Bear]]: It's not a good idea to piss off someone who knows as much about pain as a doctor, especially one that knows how to use a gun.
** At one point, She takes Nirrti hostage and demands that she fix Cassandra. Nirrti was still unwilling to help at first, even with the gun to her head. Then Hammond informed her that Frasier was Cassandra's mother. Nirrti got a lot more cooperative after that.
* [[Senseless Sacrifice]]: How many viewed her death, especially some rat-faced politicians.
** She did save the man she was treating, it was simply viewed as not worth it.
* [[Team Mom]]
Line 180:
== Later Characters ==
As time went on, new regulars appeared, mostly to replace retired old characters.
== Jonas Quinn (Corin Nemec) ==
Line 190:
* [[Cunning Linguist]]
* [[Human Alien]]
* [[One-Scene Wonder|One Season Wonder]]
* [[Perpetual Smiler]]: And O'Neill just loves to lampshade it.
* [[Photographic Memory]]
Line 294:
==== And specifically to Thor: ====
* [[Accidental Hug]]: Carter gave him one once, [[Not So Above It All|he didn't mind though]].
* [[Big Good]]: Thor is a hero in just about every sense of the word.
* [[Interspecies Friendship]]: With all of SG-1 and Hammond. Mostly O'Neill, cause they're best buds. The guy even offered to take Thor fishing ''for crying out loud!''
Line 375:
* [[Genre Savvy]]: Despite being even more melodramatic and hammy than most Goa'uld, he is actually a good deal less arrogant, and manages to avoid falling into the kinds of pitfalls that doomed dozens of System Lords. Notably, he accepted input from his subordinates and never underestimated SG-1 or the humans of Earth. After all, he showed up above a planet with a single ship (''Prometheus'') equivalent to, at most, one and a half standard Goa'uld motherships with the largest fleet ever assembled by a Goa'uld. He lost, but that had nothing to do with preparations for or actions during the battle. What arrogance he does display is warranted, given that he does possess technology far superior to that of most Goa'uld.
* [[For the Evulz]]: Most notably when he destroys Abydos just because he can.
* [[Hero-Killer]]: He devastated the Tok'ra, wiped out the Tollan, and destroyed Abydos. He also destroyed the Alpha Base, which lead to the fracturing of the Earth, Tok'ra, and Jaffa alliance; and one of his men killed Dr. Fraiser.
* [[Large Ham]] Even by Goa'uld standards.

'''Rodney McKay:''' Ya, Anubis? This your agent. You're playing it ''way'' over-the-top! You need to get serious! }}
* [[The Mole]]: In the form of Jim.
