I get that, you know, it’s a television show, but replaying that death scene over and over made it painfully obvious that all that “stone” was made out of styrofoam.
Also, how contrived it was:
Honey, I don’t feel safe standing under this 3-ton stone slab swinging precariously on a chain.
Nonsense woman, I need you standing right here by my side while we get this thing in place.
Spoofing that in the Wormhole X-Treme! episode was GOATed though.
It deserved to be spoofed.
I think Stargate is one of those rare shows that walks a fine line with not taking itself too seriously without being a comedy.
One of the funniest moments of the series is when Teal’c gets a pop culture reference that Daniel doesn’t:
MITCHELL: We got a guy who thinks himself to be a real John McClane here.
JACKSON: What?
TEAL’C (walking by, casually): Die Hard.
SG-1 was made at a time when TV shows could have a range of tones and still make it work.
