Stargate SG-1: Col O’Neill going for a serious distance record with “Gate Golf!”The other day while watching repeats of the sci fi TV series Stargate SG-1 on Syfy, the episode titled “Window of Opportunity” aired.
It was the 6th epi in the 4th season.
After heading to a planet where a heart broken archeologist named Malakai is trying to use a defective ancient time machine to go back in time to visit his dead wife, the SG-1 team encounters the saddened soul, but the time machine is malfunctioning even more so than it might have normally been. When it goes off, Col. O’Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) and Teal’c (Christopher Judge) find themselves restarting the day over. Much like Ground Hog Day.
It’s determined through various time loops of 6 to 10 hours, that O’Neill and Teal’c need to learn ancient to decipher writings on the time machine and fix the situation. That premise alone is fracking funny. But the duo have to live the short time frame over and over again. It’s estimated that they relived this day for an estimated 3 months worth of time.
Each time, they need to convince the base staff what’s happening and git on with their studying.
It’s hilarious because they realize that they can do anything they want and no one will remember / know about it.
