God, nothing can replace the feeling of exploration, discovery, and endless possibilities as the first 2-3 seasons of SG1. You never knew where the gate would take you and what you are going to find there
Omg yes
The later seasons still had that but with a more expanded universe.
The Stargate is like a box of chocolates...
@@rotorheadv8 ...and there's always _some_ jerk that snags the nut-filled chocolates first.
Yea i remember loving the series when i was a simple atheist.
'we're afraid for you' How touching is that :-) Nox : don't worry guys we're a galactic Hyper power but we just dress like we've slept in a hedge.
"Errand of Mercy." Star Trek season 1. Apparently primitive race turns out to be highly advanced & pacifistic.
😆 Thanks for the laugh. This time a literal LOL
It always gets me that this whole episode, the Nox family they encountered were basically on a family camping trip...and they handled an intergalactic incident without bothering anybody else.
"We sent your weapons back through the doorway."
Gee, thanks! We'll be sure to scrape them off the back of the iris when we get there!
was the iris allready installed? that was on of the first episodes
@@momokochama1844 iris was installed first episode
They only needed to dialed the gate to connect to earth, they would have teleported the weapons through the iris
@@momokochama1844 yah like episode 5 or 8
The nox can override the iris
The Nox are so well written, they are the only anti-violence hippies I have ever respected in Sci-Fi or Fantasy. (They are the only ones who speak with wisdom, not arrogance, and the only ones that are not hypocrites) I will always remember them fondly and wish to have seen more of them
and we don't know how old Nox Kind is.
or how close to leaving the material plane they have journeyed since the days of active counsel between the 4 great tribes.
all we know is they are the first ones out of the counsel to make a full appearance followed by the Asgardians and the Road Builders
they're like a more naive version of Iain M Banks' the culture tbh, who at least recognize less advanced societies don't have the option to just "play nice" with superior aggressor powers
@@override367the culture or at least special circumstance division of contact has no issue employing violence.
@@override367 Not really Naïve; later they conceal a weapons platform, for example, to save their allies, they just don't fire it.
They're pragmatic pacifists.
There's always the temptation to write characters like this as insufferably arrogant asses, so the more "practical" hero characters can show they tread the middle ground better. (Sort of how the Tolon came off) But they didn't do that with the Nox. They wrote them as completely understanding the middle way, but still rejecting it, in very "human" fashion of debate and experience. The Nox didn't have an ideology, they had personal principals, and they stuck to them.
There was just a hint of fatherly pride and knowing hope in Anteaus' face when Teal'c said, "It is our way that the strong protect the weak."
"There is hope for them."
Future Kratos there. :)
This is actually a HUGE pivoting point for SG1 team. Near the end of the series, they use this exact lesson to hide from their enemies.
Reminds me of a Star Wars Legends/EU where Luke Skywalker makes a whole planet go invisible, for the same reason.
Arthur's Mantle, how did I not realize how perfectly it fits their abilities? not only the things/persons go invisible, but also intangible. Like the weapons in the SGC personels' hands in the Tollan refugee episode...
Which episode was that (near the end of the series)? The phase shifting tech?
This was used in Atlantis just without the nox and just tauri force.
@@The_Gallowglassand ppl wonder why legends/EU got scrapped... making a whole planet go invisible.... 😅😅
Armin Shimmerman was just excellent for this role, particularly the way he delivers "Fear not."
Just realized that quark
@@samuelgendreau4753 I didn't see it either... and now, I can't unsee it.
@@perilousrangeit's not seeing, it's hearing.
After seeing this scene, I had to look it up to see if it was Quark, and it is!
@@CountryLifestyle2023 the best story I've heard about him, was when he had to leave the set on an emergency basis, back on September 11th. Search it, totally worth your while.
@@samuelgendreau4753ha me too! I kept expecting rules of acquisition....
Please never delete this. It's one of the most profound scenes of the entire series
One of the best episodes...just awesome!
@@VonSpud its the same story rewritten over and over again. It's like they are trying to tell you something? Lol
@@lovetheNorml they told me its an it's an interesting story... (lol)
The strong defends the weak line is the best
Yep, nothing more profound than finding out that a bunch of super-advanced, ancient aliens are just sitting around doing nothing while countless sapient beings are enslaved. Because, apparently, true morality is apathy and condescending aloofness in the face of unimaginable suffering...
Its too bad the Nox were never developed any further.
Indeed it is!
Kinda like the Furling too. ;)
They look like an advanced version of the Anccents
For the right stuff
As Teal'c would have put it: indeed. And they should have made some episodes about the Furlings.
We could have visited them with our instellar spaceships.
Quark has some weird holo-suite programs in his playlist.
Yeah I thought that was his voice
It is his voice. That's the same actor.
@@davidwuhrer6704lol no, look at his ears. They're regular-size.
@@KurtRichterCISSP I think, Quarks holo-suites are advanced enough to disguise his big ears too. 😉😁
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
One of the best things about SG1 is that as the sarcastic guy on a team with a pair of elite science types and a ultra wise alien, O'neill often seemed like the dumb one. But every once in a while, he'd break off a nugget and show how sharp he actually is and why he's in charge.
I think he just played dumb to let others have their moment to shine or to show that they were actually morons. At least the way that RDA played him.
@@hokutoulrik7345 He was smarter than he let on, but he was also smart enough to know the limitations of his knowledge and when to defer to greater expertise. But he definitely used it against some people to give them enough rope to hang themselves.
@@shadenox8164 yup. A mark of a good friend and a good leader.
To quote Carter, O'neill had a special way of looking at things that others missed.
As Sam once said about him, O’niel lets people think he’s not as smart as he is.
This is one of the best scenes in the early show. Mind you, this is only 7 episodes in, the first couple dealt exclusively with the initial Goa'uld threat, so this is one of the FIRST exploration episodes in the show. It sets the entire thing up to be a civilization with primitive ways and technology. Sure, they can personally become invisible, but they still appeared primitive. This reveal, that ANYONE they come across could be an advanced technological race, even it they didn't appear it at face value. Just a magical reveal.
Agreed. Beautiful moment.
'Stargate SG-1" was an enjoyable show with a lot of thoughtful message alongside rousing adventures! And a Stargate, a product of an ancient, alien technology to travel to distant, exotic worlds. You can't beat that!
The Stargate is like Star Trek starships -- a plot device that enables the explorers to seek new worlds and new adventures, and bring us along for the ride.
The original Stargate movie and the first seasons of SG-1 is where Star Trek meets Indiana Jones
I missed this series
"The very young do not always do as they are told." -- Nox dude
The Dude would like it there. 😏
I miss Stargate sg-1 so many great episodes and so many great lessons.
Man it's easy to be a pacifist when you live in an untouchable utopia.
it also requires an open mind able too see more than one way.
Mckenzie .Latham and it requires a special type of amorality to watch an entire galaxy be subjugated and enslaved and sit back and do nothing
Morality is a human made thing, i see no reason why it would or should apply to non human beings...
Mckenzie .Latham applies to both Asgard and the Ancients, races who were nominally allies of the Nox who would have tried to do something while the Nox sat back and let their allies die and dishonour there memory
As soon as the ancients ascended they did nothing for the galaxy, only oma and she was never allowed to do much under threat of being banished forever...
The ancients were even willing to let Anubis wipe out all life in the galaxy becasue they refused to get involved.
The Asgard took it upon themselves to act but they nor any other species was under any obligation or had to... and they saw humans as nothing more than simple animals that needed protection, like one does for a stray dog.
Again honor and morality are human inventions.
"Something worth taking home."
Right in the feels.
I'm always reminded of this scene when I watch the ending of the last episode of SG1 "Unending" where they all share a lesson. It shows that even if they acquired many new technologies and have made allies on other worlds, the true riches is what they have learned and discovered in themselves.
''We don't need their _stuff_ , Makepeace. We do need _them.''_ _- Col. ''Jack'' O'Neill, ''Shades of Grey'' (S3E18)_
GOD IS WITHIN, JOURNEY INWARD FRIENDS.
FUN FACT: The floating city has updated graphics on the DVD release.
So they went the way of a Star Wars and kept updating the footage with every new “special edition” release…..
@@killbot86 I mean it needed it, tbh it looks so bad, don't get me wrong I get it's a TV show doesn't change the fact that it looks like shit
You just gotta love the Nox!! Always truthful, helpful, understanding without being obnoxious. Wish we could have seen more episodes with them. ❤
One of the best SG1 scenes of all time. I always tear up a bit when watching it - no idea why.
It's the combination of the profound message, the nostalgia, and the amazing music. And Quark telling MacGyver to pound sand.
@@angrytvrobot6130They'll regret it the day that Murdoc steps on their soil!
Was such a great show. I'm a huge star trek fan but SG1 will always be my favourite SciFi show.
DS9 had a lot more in common with SG1 and Atlantis especially, and Babylon 5 ofc...
This is a powerful scene, because SG1 managed to impress the Nox.
with context, when they heard they defend the weak, I think the Nox for a moment remembered the Asgard
The Nox, they seemed so simple yet they just might be the most advanced race in all of stargate SG-1, if not definitely in the top 2.
Not really. Asgard and Ancients are far above them. LoL even Goa'uld learnt how to do "cloaking" and in the later seasons they managed to hide even motherships with it.
The only feat that is actually unparaleled is their revival of Aphopis and even that could be done with Goa'uld technology(sarcophagus, which was derived from ancient healing device).
Yes, they are certainly above most races, maybe even in TOP5, but certainly not the most advanced, nor the second.
@@HanithSVK The Goa'uld scavenged literally ALL their tech, so they aren't even worth mentioning. "Advanced" is an odd term, as if we are talking pure technology, you'd be right. From an Evolution perspective, I'd argue the Nox are at the top with the Alterans. They literally can cloak, or heal, or dial the stargate, via their minds.
@@KS-xk2so Can they though? I agree with Alterans(better said Ancients cause Ori were of the same origin, they split with Alterans cause of the religious views) but Nox? We have no idea if they abilities are natural or some form of tech advancement(artificial gene therapy or form of nanotechnology in their bodies or smt like that). But it is shame that they did not continue Nox storyline, cause all we can do now is guess. But let's just say you are right and they are the most advanced race currently in galaxy. Why they do not ascend? They are IDEAL race for it. They would be safe, their pacifism and non-interfence are EXACTLY the qualities ascended beings(like alterans) enforce. So why are they staying in the physical world?
Even Asgard can open the gate without the "whoosh" as we saw doing Thor several times. Not to mention that we saw that Asgard has an ability to erase someone mind with just wave of their hands(as when they removed ancient knowledge from O'Neill's brain first time they encountered the that Repository).
And technically, Tau'ri in the Stargate universe are also scavengers. Most of their tech is repurposed alien tech(asgard, Goa'uld or Ancient) so by this logic even Tau'ri should not be mentioned.
Hell even Thor admitted, that some of the knowledge they posses were extracted from the Ancient Repository of Knowledge(and he also admitted that they are "studying it for as long as he remembers and they are still just scratchin the surface".
Very few races achieved their technological level on their own(actually the only ones that come to my mind are Wraith, Tollans and Ancients(both Ori and Alterans)).
(I am not counting SG:Universe cause i haven't watch it).
But, in both Pegasus galaxy AND milky way, most space-travelling races were scavengers.
@@HanithSVK I'd assume the Nox haven't ascended because they don't want to. For an Alteran, a race so devoted to science, becoming the ultimate form of Energy would be a noble goal. Given the look and behaviour of the Nox however, we see they are deeply connected to the physical world and the nature that surrounds them. Perhaps that is why they have no interest in Ascension?
@@HanithSVK You're talking about a people that can just vanish things they don't want to deal with, not just make invisible, literally remove. Nox's cloaking technology also as far as we're aware has never been penetrated in any way. Even amongst cloaking tech, theirs is clearly the best, hence why not even Anubis could find them.
Achievement unlocked: Dalaran discovered.
ROFL
Dalaran? Someone playing world of Warcraft??
"Maybe one day you will learn, that your way is not the only way."
*uses tech that makes them totally invulnerable*
And iam just sitting here with a hunk of metal to close our gate and a P90...
The feeling I get is that the Nox achieve things not by means of technology but in another way, say spiritually.
Iam sure they came up more or less normal, but when they had godlike tech for who knows how long they just became tree hippies. Because they could afford it
That could also be the case.
any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. -Clarke's third law
they could also be nearly ascended. once they understand the universe they can manipulate it at will
Fear not Hewwmon!
One of the coolest scenes in this entire franchise. Always wish they explained the Nox more.
I think the Nox are better kept a mystery.
That soundtrack! It gives me chills everytime I hear it! Love this episode :-)
I miss the magic of this show in now days shows...
Revisiting this after so many years. I loved this series so much.
This show is still among my top favourites, along with MacGyver!
"The very young are not always doing what they are told"
Listening, overcoming false pride and accepting that there are people who know more and/or are more intelligent and just get things oneself may not or not immediatly, being humble and showing some humility ... helps. Thinking of oneself as infallible, better than others and being entitled to something others aren't, that generally speaking will stand in once and others ways.
One of the best episodes in an outstanding and I think underappreciated series.
Ah, the arrogance of the Nox. "Don't defend yourself. It's evil." Say the masters of cloaking and healing tech with their own city-ship.
The decadent Nox have not suffered a cycle of difficulty: growth through pain and struggle, conflict and war.
@@imperialguardsman521you have their hidden lore ?
Joshua Sweetvale yep I never really liked the nox, the Asgard were by far my favourite
not arrogance, confidence. Many martial arts Masters offer the same advice. When one knows they are in the superior position, there is no shame in not fighting and walking away.
That's why they're so Noxious.
This is my single favourite scene from all the Stargate series
"Maybe one day you will learn, that your way is not the only way."-Anteaus
Single best quote in the series, and one that you can truly live by. I think its surprising, but despite being one of the most advanced races in the galaxy they prefer to live simply and are true pacifists.
But I guess that's why they said that quote. ^^
SageMagnus Indeed.
I don't know, I never got that the Nox were pacifists, they merely thought of things so differently that we cannot fathom it.
"If you immediately know the candlelight is fire, then the meal was cooked long ago" ..
I love how unassuming the Nox were to everyone. They were seen as primitive because that's what they wanted people to see. That's the best kind of character.
Live simply? They live in a floating city with tremendous tech.
The top time when the SG team got OWNED!!!
Reminds me of the Organian's in the ST:TOS episode "Errand of Mercy". They looked helpless too, but were so much more advanced than the Federation or Klingon's could know.
" A shame captain, it would have been glorious" -Kor.
And they forced a peace treaty between the Empire and the Federation, while both the Empire and the Federation thought they had to protect the Organians from the other.
The Federation and the Klingons rolled up on the Organians' ancestor simulation and started messing up their immersion so the Organians had to put a stop to it.
"Dude, I was just about to hit level 90 Goatherd and you're messing with my xp gain... BanHammer for you, BanHammer for you, you, AND you."
This was always one of my favourite episodes. Wish we'd seen more of the Nox.
I love this scene, thanks for uploading it.
god i love the nox, they're my favorite race in stargate.
I don’t like them. They took their extreme pacifism to the point where they ignored the violence and suffering around them.
Just saw Richard Dean anderson imat comic con Holland, meeting a childhood hero, made me very happy
Stargate was often underrated.
Perhaps the best sci-fi series ever.... rivaled only by Stargate Atlantis and in a smaller way, Star Trek original and TNG.
Damn that's some Shimerman acting, he can play both the ruthless interstellar capitalist and the OP space hippie like a natural.
Good sci-fi has always had the best acting in television, even when they overdo it like Shatner or Auberjonois.
And while speaking of overdoing it, let's add Avery Brooks to that list. :)
@@SGtidbits It doesn't count, sorry, Captain's Prerogative, and you better pray the Prophets he doesn't beam you to the wormhole.
He can also play an authoritarian school principal with underlying inferiority issues like he was born to play it.
I wonder if Anteaus owns a bar in that city?
Axel Foley I believe so
Deep Space N....ox?
Yep, and his brother works for him there too.
The Nox are to peaceful to be alcoholics. He probably runs a Mushroom lounge. An Opium den at absolute worst.
The best scene ever in Stargate.
0:51 - my core SciFi ethos. I come back to this clip in my mind regularly. The lessons of this series are some of the pinnacle parables of all SciFi.
I believe that Armin Shimerman was the first Star Trek actor to appear on Stargate SG-1. A few others then did cameos or recurring characters.
John de Lancie, Marina Sirtis and the guy that played Captain Jellico as Senator/VP Kinsey
Both Q and Jelico turned out to be well... very much in character xD
Not forgetting everyones favourite holographic doctor.
Rene Auberjonois played not-Hitler
one of the best episodes.
Teal'c does the voice of Kratos in God of War. His voice is perfect for it.
I loved the Nox and wished we could have seen more of them as the show went on. It speaks to how good a concept and how well executed they were that we still remember them all this time later.
Quark moonlighting as a hippie techno-mage.
Loved that episode and the Nox.
I love Teal'c saying what we feel it is our duty to do. And it is a noble thing isn't it?
how is it possible to want to know more about the nox, but at the same time appreciate them being the mysterious race they are
I mean, isn't that the whole allure of mysteries? To want to know more?
Well, it's the Nox paradox
one of the best sci fi show ever made.
I have no doubt that it was the wisdom and influence of the nox that helped the ancients on their path to Ascension
Never judge a book by its cover. Looks can be deceiving.
Macgyver. The Chellenge
"Why didn't he tell us about this before?" "Well Jack because the episode would have ended too soon."
I need to rewatch the lot again.
Hopefully the new stargate series will be as good as the original series.
What new Stargate series? I literally googled "new stargate series" and what do you know, apparently there's talk of one in the works by Amazon. 🤔
2:11 the very young do not always do as they are told . . .
You know I just realised that is Armin Shimmerman, the actor who plays Quark in DS9.
This still gives me massive goosbumps everytimes I watch it. The Nox and the Asgard are my two favorites
I really wanted an episode for when the tolans stayed with the nox untill they got their "new" home
It is amazing how so many people miss the point of this episode...or deliberately ignore the point while they take a piss on pacifism.
some things you gotta learn in the school of hard Nox
If only I was alive to see this show air on TV
0:58
"Before you go, O'Neill... There is something we would have you see...
It's the Rules of Acquisition, handed down from Grand Nagus to Grand Nagus over centuries. Now where's my latinum, Hu-man?"
Is that the actor who plays Quark from Deep Space Nine?! 💕
Yep, Armin Shimerman.
SGtidbits Sweet! Thanks!
He was also principal snider in buffy tvs
Also the Principal in Buffy.
The funny thing is: It is actually Quark the Ferengi is disguise ;)
Man, for all we know, they're just straight up teleporting back to their city when they disappear. Only hanging out on the planet surface when visitors are nearby.
This was one of my favorite episodes
We’ve sent your weapons back.
Teal’c drop the staff!
This episode really altered the way I looked at the world and humanity. If you consider humanity to be one being, a super-organism, you realise just how young we are. Until recently, we believed that might makes right, and simply took whatever we wanted. This is very typical for young children. Now, we think money makes right, are obsessed with social status, wealth, and comparing who has the most "stuff". We also think popularity contests are the best way to decide everything (democracy). We... we're middle schoolers, around 11 on a global scale.
I wonder what our teenage years will be like.
We'll never make it past puberty.
This is also why I don't think aliens have contacted us. Who wants to talk to middle schoolers? XD
The age in which Space travel is common for everyday people is new, that will be our period of adolescence
Another of my favorites
SG-1 is proof that you can still have much to learn but still be wise.
Wisdom is a scam. Wise words will justify everything and it's opposite, not give any advice that is actually helpful for any given situation, but there is always some wise saying that applies in hindsight.
Ist that quark?
Yes it is! Armin Shimerman.
www.imdb.com/name/nm0001734/?ref_=tt_cl_t6
Good catch by the way, had not spotted that one myself.
I knew he sounded familiar!! Nice find!!
How the heck have I never realized that!?
That actor gets around
at the end they were like: wait since when are you this wise o´neill...... and when he explained it: oh phew that makes sense
I loved this episode
" Someday you will learn your way is not the only way "
Fear not... one day the Nox will acquire a good pair of shears.
Quark is testing out his new holo suit story.
The biggest cliffhanger in Sci-Fi history.
This an amazing moment ! 🌞😉✌
This is what Snyder gets for expelling Buffy.
Can't help thinking of MacGyver
Probably better not to. Can you imagine the SG team armed only with duct tape and Swiss Army knives?
@@MarsFKA LoL
G’Kar, “They are a mystery, and I am both terrified and reassured that there are wonders in the universe that we have not explained everything.” Sigma 957
I miss this show so much.
“Maybe one day you will learn that your way is not the only way“yeah there’s a lot of people who could be learning from those words today.
Ah, yes... season 1. With Daniel in a combat helmet. :D ^^ Even though the show would just keep getting better and better, I still have a soft spot for season 1. :) It's where everything began and I can enjoy it fully today knowing what it meant and what would come after.
Well, plus, the early installment weirdness is just hilarious xD
Rule of Acquisition number 343
"Your way is not the only way"
Cool ! Génial! Enfin une civilisation qui a compris ! Peace and love !
“Just a little something the Nox told me one time” is one of my favorite lines of all time. What a great episode.
The best part is that I've used that line after imparting some wisdom to my friends and they've never questioned me about it (they don't watch Stargate)
When the last SG team disappear
Through the morning mist, so clear
They were seeking land, could they understand
That they never would return?
Out on the last crusade
In quests after better days
To conquer it all
Viking funeral
Live forever more.
I want to live with the Nox.
Nobody seems to take note of how the stargate was instantly dialed and silently activated by them.
