Stargate triviums.

I can only remember Teal'c laughing once, and that was more a bit of demented laughter when some snakehead was about to hand him back to Apophis.

Incidentally, who decides how to spell "Teal'c", and how come so many Goa'uld words have apostrophes in them?

Also, how many times has General Hammond been offworld? I can think of two times: the first time was when he was trying to bust SG-1 out of prison, and the second time was to supervise some big mission but I don't quite remember what it was.

O'Neill just says "GOOLD".

O'Neill. There's another unnecessary apostrophe.

This thread got me reading the IMDB Stargate page, and on the Trivia page it notes that this is the third character in a Roland Emmerich movie to have that name, or a homonym thereof. As for apostrophes in that ethnic name, it's a good thing the Scots aren't called M'cAvoy or whatnot.

That said, the TV O'Neil is MacGyver, who (character and actor) was from Minnesota and while he doesn't have half the accent he used to, he's probably not going to have the same attention to special vowel sounds as Teal'c does, who pronounces everything exactingly, just like all aliens.

I do remember the episode where he got Standard Sci-Fi Rapid Aging Disease, he sounded a little more "regional" all of a sudden.
