This guy walks up to you and tells you its actually pronounced "Zed-P-M". How do you respond without sounding American?
>>215039233Why does he look like he's always about to cry?
>>2150392672smart
>>215039233I’d call him a hoser and he’d apologize profusely >>215039267Canadian
>>215039267It hard work carrying a city, and a show, on your back.
>tfw you accidentality say "Zee"
>>215039233india invented the concept of zero
>>215039460The only indian in the show dies in the first season
>>215039233>Atodaso
>>215039233He never corrected people on how it's pronounced. He only explained that he's canadian when others asked "zed-p-m?"
>>215039267
>>215039233> being literally the archetype of an incel> gets qt gf How did this happen?
>>215040943It was a different time
>>215039233Shut up Meredith.
>>215039233as a leaf we dont say zed, i dont know of anyone one who does and ive lived here my entire life over 40 years in multiple provinces, and both coasts
>>215039460Nope, just the symbol
>>215041394I want to say it fell out of the vernacular sometime around when Jay-Z became famous. No one younger than that even knows that they’re saying it wrong
>>215039233Did he get the girl at the end or did they break up?
>>215040943It's only incel when you don't have any money. Someone in McKay's position in our world would be making $400k + bennies and have bitches jogging by his house in paint-on pants every morning on the off chance he'll get tired of wallowing in cat piss and come talk to them.
>>215041394My cousins in the early 90s thought it was an old person thing. They'd use zed in school because that was what was expected of them, but at home it was all zee. As one of them said, no one talks about going to the zoo to see the Zedbras.
>>215041864He screwed things up with Katie Brown but later got the Firefly girl.
>>215041394I say "zed" when referring to the letter on its own, but always "zee" when it's part of an acronym or abbreviation.
David Hewlett is a less retarded looking Quentin Tarantino
>>215039267Constant Cube flashbacks
>>215042048there's an entire episode about wealthy and famous scientists mocking McKay for not having published anything in years and he has to listen to them and shut it because the Stargate program is still secret.
>>215039460Too bad they didn't invent the toilet
>whatever you say, meredith
>>215039267Imagine if every week you were burdened with accomplishing an impossible task with an impossible deadline and if you fuck up everyone dies.And despite pulling it off week after week, everyone still hates you.
>>215039267Three words: Wraith Queen Pussy
>>215044666Call it the white man’s burden space Satan, and I’m done with it eh?
>>215041797>Jay-ZI went to college in New-Brunswick and everybody there pronounced it Jay-Zed
>>215039401>carrying the showThen explain this. Checkmate
>>215045073He was a solid supporting character but a pet gorilla that grunts and punches wraith isn't exactly what people tune in for
Wait a minute.This isn't my world...DISAPPOINTED!
>>215045105And yet he's a big name hollywood star and McKay is doing shit like Mistletoe Murders
>>215045203That's how 9/10 actors end up
>>215039233Figured out how to fill em up again? Or why a device that draws energy from subspace would run out in the first place?
>>215041394This poster is Indian, btw
>>215043700There's always a little too much wish fulfillment in the McKay / Daniel Jackson episodes. I know the Stargate universe US government is way more rosy, but scientists should still know when you go work for the military and stop publishing, you're onto some Real Shit not sitting around eating cheese.
>>215042153>As one of them said, no one talks about going to the zoo to see the Zedbras.that's fucking retarded. I suppose T shouldn't be pronounced as "Tee" because nobody goes to the zoo to see the Teegers.
>>215044790Do you think the Wraith can suck out your life force with their vag’s?>>215046746>McKay vs Teyla
>>215039233
If I was a wraith I would have created an elite ruling class of humans, whose life I extended using wraith suck (conveniently also making them addicted to the suck) in order to control vast populations of humans and simply have my dinner delivered to me
>>215043700>"scientists"
>>215039460to measure their IQ
>>215046711im white, faggotindian, both types need to be eradicated
>>215039233>EZedPZed
>>215047309To describe how many shits they put in a loo
>>215039233>Shut the fuck up Kavanaughthen I'd walk away before he had a chance to respond
>>215046918McKay wasn't even known to be working for the military, the Stargate program is so far into the deep black that nobody knows who works for it unless they are already part of it. In that same episode with the scientists mocking him for not publishing, McKay refers to a paper about matter bridges he wrote but that his name wasn't on it, which would suggest the Stargate stuff he works on is so classified they refuse to even unredact his name on associated materials.Really, the guy who showed the scientist that paper is probably guilty of treason, since there was a SG1 episode about someone leaking "trinium" and "Prometheus" in relation to Carter and it was also considered high treason.
>>215046918Stargate universe humans are about 50% nicer than real life humans, even the bad humans like The Trust only wanted to kill aliens
>>215047164There's a wraith who does that, but most don't because they obviously enjoy the hunt.
>>215039233I loved this show but god i hated the costume design. which only got worse with SGU. They started shying away from the boxy military BDUs and started wearing form fitting tracksuits and bootcut trousers to match fashion trends of the time and it was awful. and don't get me started on Rush in SGU and his t-shirt over waffle-weave long sleeve with a vest combo like he was the lead singer of a buttrock band.
>>215046918>but scientists should still know when you go work for the military and stop publishing, you're onto some Real Shit not sitting around eating cheese.What do you mean? That's exactly how the overwhelming majority of public facing scientists think right now in the real world. There's a fucking black hole that absorbs all the best and brightest physics, chemistry, materials and mathematics students immediately after they graduate and some even before that point and barely anyone even bats an eye. You can infer there's some funny business going on based on reported prestigious university graduation rates and comparing it to the fact that there always seems to be massive shortages of high end workers in relevant private sector fields that otherwise should be awash in talent if the graduation rate figures are remotely correct. The closest anyone seems to ever get is wondering why there's such a focus on string theory in physics and why after being a major focus of the field for over 50 years it hasn't borne shit for fruit. Either discoveries are getting socked away out of the public's eyes and have been for decades, or the entire field is a red herring to decrease the chances that some well meaning savant doesn't accidentally stumble into some shit he's not supposed to know about.But I digress, my point is civilian nonsecurity clearance holding scientists being smug shits and not for a second considering that their former colleague might not in fact be up to nothing just because he hasn't had his name tacked onto a published paper in a while is completely believable.
>>215047959There was some geneticist in China who gene-edited some babies in the womb a few years ago and made them immune to HIV. China disappeared him for three years in closed-door proceedings, a sentence that then mysteriously got extended an extra year for unknown reasons, and now he's back in public life and refuses to talk about it at all, while starting a new lab with seed money from unnamed investors.Easy money says he may not have been sitting in a prison cell all that time.
but i am american and i will kiss my glistening american muscles
SGA was kinda meh in retrospect. I don't hate it but it ended up being just a worse SG1 which wasn't really a problem at the time but on rewatch is really taking it down.
>>215047680Finally someone validates my feelings over Rush's clothes. Nobody ever mentioned them. What the fuck was he wearing. Why did nobody stop the wardrobe department?
>>215039233I am canadian.So i agree with McKay and then shit talk zelinka.We laugh. He snaps his fingers. Its a good time.
>>215048961In retrospect Stargate was the series that broke Sci-Fi channel. They wasted astounding resources chasing that first 6 seasons of SG1 dragon.
>>215042153Would.Would.And would.
>>215039233I'm not American so I never noticed much of a difference between Rodney's pronunciation and the rest of the crew.
>>215041761>the symbol>it's a gaping assholewow thanks India very cool
>>215047959>Either discoveries are getting socked away out of the public's eyes and have been for decades, or the entire field is a red herring to decrease the chances that some well meaning savant doesn't accidentally stumble into some shit he's not supposed to know about.3rd option, they're held in luxury indenture by inbred retards to work problems which mostly can't be solved.
>>215047442>McKay wasn't even known to be working for the militaryHe's literally an airman in the airforce. That's the fucking cover.
>>215047045Do you actually say Zedbras
>>215051041When was that said? He's never that I remember described as actually in the military, especially since he's well known to be Canadian so it'd be impossible for him to be an airman in the USAF.
Show some fucking respect.
>>215051197Wrong
>>215039435>my math professor for most of uni was english so I say "Zed" by habit
>>215051256>>215051197>>215051041>>215047442his cover was working for the USAF as a civilian contractor, not as an airman (enlisted)
>>215039267He is a canon rape victim
>>2150450732nd least interesting person on the entire showhes even worse than all of the characters without linesand the only reason why he isnt the absolute worst is because teyla exists
>>215039233Shut up Doug Demuro. No one wants to see your Carrera GT.
>>215039233>How do you respond without sounding American?Why would I want to sound any other way?
>>215039233I've been watching so many Australian and Canadian Youtuber chuds that I've been catching myself accidentally saying zed too. And al-loo-mini-yum. FUCK.
>>215051990Weir and Teyla are the most insufferable. Dex is clearly added on because Teyla was testing so poorly, but his backstory is moronic. Ideal timeline SGA has Mamoa playing the 'native guide' role as part of the original cast.
