10 Mind-Blowing Facts You Never Knew About Stargate
2. O'Neill's Fruit Loops Were No Mistake
Stargate's answer to Groundhog Day consistently, and deservedly, ranks as one of SG-1's greatest episodes. It mines the comedy from every moment of the episode (until THAT ending), allowing the audience to enjoy the SGC in a way that had previously been impossible.
There is so move to love about the episode. O'Neill takes up pottery. Teal'c takes up golf (Christopher Judge is an avid golfer), O'Neill and Carter get to express their feelings non-verbally.
However, it is not just this laugh out loud comedy that helps the episode. The attention to detail that the crew paid was stellar.
Looking at the fruit loops on the spoon that O'Neill holds at the beginning of every day, they are in exactly the same position each time. That is because they were all glued in place, allowing continuity to be honoured without much effort!
It is a simple little trick that works perfect in the episode as a whole.
