August 24[edit]

Stargate SG1, Atlantis Mission/ Flag Patches[edit]

I'm a big fan of Stargate but have noticed that in Stargate SG-1 & Atlantis (i'm not sure about Universe because I've not seen it yet), when the characters are on base they are wearing their mission & flag patches, but when they go off world most of their patches have been taken off the uniforms, i think name patches to. So my question is: is this because of some "Real World" military thing, as in if they get taken prisoner or something or is it just to do with keeping with the schedule when filming ?

I unfortunately don't have an answer for you, but I will note that different uniforms are often worn on base versus in the field (so it's not so much "taking off patches" as it is changing into a different uniform which doesn't have them). The term for the "in-field" uniforms is battledress. Specifically, for Stargate (US Airforce, late 1990s to early 2000s) it would be the Battle Dress Uniform. Note that the article on the forthcoming Airman Battle Uniform notes that patches and insignia on the uniform are limited ("No other patches are authorized"), although a rationale is not given. -- 174.24.197.132 (talk) 18:14, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ghostbusters and Men in Black[edit]

I remember there was a movie where Ghostbusters and Men in Black were together in one film. Does anybody remember the name of the film? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.31.23.65 (talk) 16:18, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't happen. You are mistaken. --Jayron32 16:34, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Jayron... unless your definition of "movie" includes some mash-up that someone posted to YouTube. Dismas|^(talk) 03:44, 25 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Given that Adelaide Productions (an animation division of Sony Pictures Television) produced both Extreme Ghostbusters and Men in Black: The Series, it's possible there was some minor crossover in one of the episodes, but I don't see anything regarding it online. There certainly wasn't a "movie" with them both. Worm^TT · (talk) 09:07, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Return of the Ghostbusters? I had never heard of it until a minute ago—it's some fan made film—but it has a couple characters named Agent J and Agent K. Zagalejo^^^ 03:45, 27 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Al JazeeraEnglish documentary series[edit]

AlJazeeraEnglish produced a documentary series called "Veterans" and I want to know how many episodes they made in which countries? AlJazeeraEnglish produced a documentary series called "Dinner with Terrorists" and I want to know how many episodes they made in which countries? Other than these two documentary series, is there any other documentary series that AlJazeeraEnglish produced? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.95.107.247 (talk) 20:20, 24 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
