Wall Banger/Live-Action TV/Stargate Universe

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Wall Bangers in this series:

  • They allowed the ship that they are on to be taken over by an enemy that they LET come through their Stargate.
    • They have no control over incoming dials. Blocking the gate would have resulted in the death of Dr. Rush.
  • A coup attempt took place, and no one suffered any repercussions when it failed.
    • Any repercussions would have solidified the whole "military junta" image, and would have led to all out civil war.
  • Scientists who should know better decide to leave the safety and security of their ship to stay on a planet IN ANOTHER GALAXY because they think, without evidence or proof, that doing so MIGHT provide them with a way home.
    • The planet had a weird effect on the people.
  • They don't search the Ancients' database in Atlantis for a way to repair the ship, nor use the communication stones to get specialists who could do that work for the ship they are stranded on. Instead, the communication stones are used for a series of largely meaningless contacts with family members and friends on Earth. Priorities, people...
    • Because seeing people look at a computer screen is a great way to fill an episode. Whenever the communication stones are used for personal reasons, only two are used. That means three more are available for specialists, consulting with Earth administration and beating up people who slept with your wife.
  • Going to the Destiny at all, instead of to Earth and then waiting for another planet to try again.
    • ...that was kind of explained in the first episode.
    • For that matter, all of these were explained or obvious.
