Awesome / Stargate: Continuum

Go To

  • In the closing moments of Stargate: Continuum, a huge crowning moment of SG-1. As SG-1 tries to return history to the way it was... the evil Que'tesh and hordes of Jaffa attack them. In an act of courage that almost dwarfs anything they did on the show, SG-1 gets blasted one by one as they take down the Jaffa. All of them die but not before Colonel Mitchell makes it back in time. He then has to wait 10 years to shoot that smug bastard Ba'al in the face and prevent him from altering history at all.
    • Daniel Jackson deserves special mention here, as he was fighting the Jaffa with only one (real) leg, having lost the other in the Arctic. Daniel may be one hell of a nice guy, but he's more than capable of being a badass when the situation calls for it.
    • The entire movie qualifies as one giant one for Ba'al. He escapes execution and rewrites time to take over the galaxy "with style" , to the point Earth was happy with the new timeline, the Ori and Wraith aren't an immediate issue, and he'd win over Earth with charm... Too bad that he didn't think about one, tiny thing.
      • Not to mention being the Big Bad of the final SG-1 story in the first place. He was a "normal" Goa'uld system lord after the days when those became So Last Season. Yet, he outlasted the others like him, and the partially-ascended Anubis, and the Replicators, and then the Ori, evil Ancients with unbelievable technology and Ascended power. He's the last one standing after everyone like him, and every successor enemy, each an order of magnitude worse than the last, has fallen. And he basically did it by being more shrewd and savvy than the rest.
  • Gunship Rescue performed by Russians:
    Mitchel: What did you say to them?
    Daniel: We are Americans, please fire at the people chasing us!
    • And seconds later we see a squad of MiG-29s beating the living crap out of the Death Gliders
    • Hell, seeing American F-15C Eagles and Russian MiG-29 Fulcrums beat the living shit out of Death Gliders in GENERAL is one hell of a Moment of Awesome in itself, doubly so for those who are massive aviation enthusiasts.
  • When SG-1 is called to the presidential bunker to advise President Hayes on the Goa'uld fleet, the President says they can either say 'I told you so' or stay and help. First thing Daniel does? Turn to leave, then turns back and shouts "I TOLD YOU SO!". That's right. Daniel calls out the President of the United States for his Too Dumb to Live attitude about their warnings.
