BoBW Humor

Post by Sonic Glitch »

I wasn't entirely sure where to start this disccusion so I'll go here. It's really not so much a discussion as a "Hey, this is kinda cool!"
Apparently, when filming BoBW, for the very end when Locutus appears on the viewscreen they had one rehearsal, and then Patrick Stewart goes up to the camera to do his take and says, "I am Locutus of Borg. Have you considered buying a Pontiac?"

Heh, neat. :)

I'd imagine that on some of the more serious episodes the cast probably start screwing around quite a bit.

Though the best one of those I've seen has to be this. :)

Good, but I think 200 was better. Only SG-1 could get away with turning an entire episode into a piss-take.

Hell, remember Wormhole X-treme? That entire episode was basically making fun of themselves. :)

Sort of, but Wormhole X-Treme had a plot of sorts as an excuse, and was more of a dig at TV series in general and sci-fi series in particular than focusing solely on themselves.

200 never pretended to be anything but the entire cast and crew having a laugh, especially as it was right in the middle of the Ori arc, with the fate of the galaxy hanging on the surrounding episodes.

Was that the one where they briefly parodied Star Trek?

Yup, among other things. The entire episode (entire series for that matter) is on YouTube.

i really liked 200, with the teen version of SG1 and the ewoks like aliens
Trata las situaciones estresantes como lo haría 1 perro: si no puedes comértelo o jugar con ello, méate encima y lárgate!!!

Handle stressful situations as a dog would: if you can't eat it or play with it, pee on it and get out of there!!!
