Stargate Trivia: Point of No Return (Episode 4.11)
This episode was born from my writing partner's perusal of several online conspiracy sites that maintained the Stargate program did, in fact, exist and that the t.v. show was part of a plausible deniability campaign (an idea we would make use of in later episodes).
Lots of great memories from this episode: Teal’c on the motel bed, the great onscreen chemistry between Rick and Willie Garson (who got along famously off-camera), and some bizarre studio notes we received.
In one scene at the military camp, we hear a helicopter fly away. We received the note: “Can we see the helicopter?”. Brad responded: “No, we can’t see the helicopter because it doesn’t exist. All we have is the sound of A helicopter.”. Another note was a request to convey the sense of some alien quality in Marty at episode’s end. It was suggested that, in the final shot of the episode, Marty wiggle his ears in an other-worldly manner. Suffice it to say, that request was not honored.
