CG Midlander

[Duuude007]

The opening sequence is the pseudo "everyman" who experienced an echo of the events that transpired during the battle over Silvertear Falls.
<snip>
Down in the basin of this barren landscape, "everyman" is teleported at the last moment, to a new destination. Not "where", but "when"
<snip>
"everyman" reappears in presumeably the same spot, 5 years later.

You know, I think we should all just give him a name at this point.

I think we should call him something epic.

I don't know. Let's go with…Todd.

I've been calling him Bob for a little while. I figure if they don't like Bob they'll tell me something better.

I'd assume they all have to have names, and it's been driving me nuts not knowing. It's just a matter of IF A THEN B. These cinematics have scripts. How do these scripts differentiate between them? Does it say "THE MIDLANDER SAYS" and then "THE ELEZEN REPLIES" (much like my own lore write-up)?

<...>

However, you have to admit, they might just have silly everyday code-names around the office. The script could just call for Hiroshi and Akira to do this while little lalafell Reiko does that... While this doesn't seem likely with SE's depth of lore, it's still possible that they had a conversation equivalent to, "What do we call them in the script?" "I don't know. Bob? He looks like a Bob." and then flash forward to planning The End of an Era, "Okay, Bob's gonna do Steel Cyclone."

Til now I missed that reference, but...

When I was making this post, in all honesty I had considered the name Bob, but the context reminded me so much of the plain english names that SG:Atlantis had for the Wraith, I thought "Todd" would be more apt.

LOL! Talk about coincidences: Stargate Wiki: Bob (Wraith)

[Alaltus]

Bob is a reference?... Blackadder?

Nah, Bob was just me picking a random name. I just think it's funny that Bob was also one of the names given to Wraith in SGA, along with Todd, Steve, and Jimmy.

[Duuude007]

Maybe we can name the whole party, lol.

A bunch of people have been calling him "Derplander" for a while now, mostly with reference to his ability to portray multiple emotions at once in a really derpy way.

"Derplander"

I've always had a bit of a grudge against that name. Like most things that originated on South Park that people don't know originated on South Park (or, in this case, technically it originated in the movie Baseketball, also by the South Park duo), it's almost never used in the intended context. The Bill and Ted aloofness and amused confusion that Bob radiates in his scenes are, in my humble opinion, completely unlike the stupidity implied either by Mr. Derp or derp's antecedents, "duh," and "durr."

Moose i read the Opening Cinematic Arc and there is written that Midlander travel 15 years ago.. But if we come back to read the Ferne Long Epic Lore Post we can read that Midlander travel back ten years ago... So, who wrong? XD Ferne o Moose XD I don't remember when Silvertear Lake Battle happens :/
