My Top 10 Favorite Stargate Episode Titles

10) Twin Destinies
I always love it when a title works on multiple levels. In this case, we've got two versions of the Destiny fated for different futures.

9) Crossroads
We were once pitched a freelance story which the author titled, broadly enough, "Turn of Events". Really? Something happens in this episode? How fitting then! Sure, we all made fun of the title at the time, but Paul was quick to point out that we’d been just as guilty several years earlier with this episode title, "Crossroads". Really? Someone faces a tough decision in this episode? How fitting then!

8) Talion
Oh, you don't use this word in everyday parlance? Well, in case you didn't know, according to dictionary .com: “A punishment identical to the offense, as the death penalty for murder.”. All well and good except that, on set, people kept asking "Why is this episode called Italian?".

7) Watergate
What else are you going to call an episode focusing on the team’s investigation of a secret Russian project in which a second gate is connected to a water planet – with disastrous results? Okay, granted, it could’ve been called plenty of other things and when Rob Cooper first suggested calling his episode "Watergate", I remember we all laughed. Well, as it turned out, Rob got the last laugh with this title.

6) Cold Lazarus
Well, it certainly sounds cool - despite the fact that there is no discernible connection between this cryptic title and the actual events in the episode. Apparently, upon reading the script, someone at the studio called the production offices demanding to know: “Who the hell is Lazarus and why is he cold?!”

5) McKay and Mrs. Miller
One the one hand, McCabe and Mrs. Miller is the name of an old Robert Altman western. On the other hand, we had a story involving the character of McKay and his little sister. A bit of a stretch unless… “Hey, maybe Miller is her married name!”Marty Gero suggested in a stroke of genius.

4) Miller's Crossing
Keeping with the Miller movie theme, Marty G. went to the Coen brothers for inspiration in titling this episode which saw the return of McKay’s little sister, Jeannie Miller. See, her last name is Miller and, um, well Rodney’s last name is McKay but her husband’s last name is Miller and there is this scene where he snaps at McKay, you see, he’s very cross, and…Aaaah, forget it.

3) There But For the Grace of God Go I
Best Title For An AU Episode Ever! – because, at the end of the day, this is what is at the heart of every great A.U. story: the path not followed, the road not taken (coincidentally, the title of another SG-1 A.U. episode).

2) Double Jeopardy
The audience sits there wondering “Why the hell is this episode called "Double Jeopardy"?” until the end of the first act when Daniel Jackson gets decapitated, at which point they suddenly realize they’ve been following the android versions of our heroes (last scene in Tin Man). Double the SG-1 = Double the jeopardy.

1) Ex Deus Machina
When this episode aired, some fans were livid because they assumed we’d unwittingly screwed up the Latin. Well, yes, we did screw up the Latin - but wittingly. The story involved System Lord Baal making his way to Earth. “Maybe he becomes a mechanic,” I suggested. “Then we could call it Deus Ex Mechanic.”
“Better yet,”said Paul. “He’s a former god. We should call is Ex Deus Machina.” So we did.

The SG-1 Theme Song!

Did you know that there are lyrics to the Stargate: SG-1 theme? No. Really. ish.

While Scorched Earth was the first script we wrote for Stargate PRIOR to officially joining the production, Window of Opportunity was not, in fact, the first thing we wrote AFTER we landed on staff. No, that distinction goes to the lyrics to the Stargate: SG-1 theme song Paul and I composed shortly after moving into our offices.

Over 12 years, 14 seasons, 350 hours of television - I feel that this remains one of the best things we ever wrote for the franchise. Director Peter DeLuise coaxed us into performing it for one of the DVD extras. Enjoy.

The memes dont stop until @AmazonMGMStudio renews their commitment to #SaveStargate

[Redneck Tau’ri @RedneckTauri]

MGM said it was too niche.

The fandom has since delivered 150,000 signatures across multiple petitions, a flyover at the studio, an NYC meetup with an entire day of professional media looping on two giant screens, tweetstorms, commandeering of every MGM social post, involvement of cast and crew, major media coverage…

@AmazonMGMStudio How are we, the massive fanbase that accomplished all the above and more to come, to interpret your silence? Is it ambivalence or idiocy?

There ARE fans. There is a MASSIVE audience. There is APPEAL OUT THE YIN YANG.

There is still time to reverse course and create something LEGENDARY. Think of the fans instead of "The Message". Respect the tradition, lore, and craftsmanship of all the creators, actors, crew, and craftspeople that made something so great people are FIGHTING for it 30 years later.

Just #Savestargate. We'll do the rest.

[Daz #SaveStargate @darrengrayson]

I'm thrilled to have been able to contribute to today's event by providing the video for Times Square. I am not a media pro just a regular fan, so I hope it does the job.

Well done @BlazeISAF for organising and @ArtOfJKelly for his wonderful art.

[Robert Patrick 🇺🇸 @robertpatrickT2]

A lot of folks have asked why I jumped into the #SaveStargate campaign.

Truth is, this was never about how many episodes I appeared in.

It was about supporting friends, standing behind a cast and crew I respect and recognizing one of the most passionate fan communities out there. The Stargate universe has meant a great deal to a lot of people for a very long time.

When people care that deeply about something and work that hard to keep it alive, I’m happy to lend my voice.

Some things are worth getting loud about.

Let me get this straight @AmazonMGMStudio, you nuke Stargate and now are enforcing trademark blocking on largely fan made 3D printable items out of nowhere?
