Miracle of miracles, my money finally appeared today. I got to PAY BILLS. It was HEADY.
Also, the fanficcers love meme, because I am curious more than anything else.
Finally: SGA has come to an end. I think I'm... relieved? Yes, there were... issues, but my tinhat is strong. Perhaps more on that later, though you guys have noted all the interesting parts already. :)
Mostly I'm thinking: BRING ON THE FIC. Because good news, guys: It's all ours, now. :)
ETA: MATTER DISPLACEMENT: A PRIMER
Exhibit A: When you land a big honkin' spaceship on a planetary surface, matter is displaced.
Witness the case of the Romulan Warbird being landed in this SAN FRANCISCO park:
Exhibit B: Have You Perhaps Heard of Wind?
When you bring a spaceship THE SIZE OF MANHATTAN down through Earth's atmosphere and LAND IT ON A BODY OF WATER NEXT TO A MAJOR CITY, IT MIGHT GET A LITTLE BREEZY.
Exhibit C: People Are Not Actually That Stupid (see exhibit B re: terrified civilians)
On the other hand, I'd REALLY like to see the interview Major Davis no doubt had to give to explain a: the unexpected and oddly brief hurricane hitting San Francisco Bay, and b: the mysterious bowl-shaped depression in the water that is no doubt visible from many miles away.
I mean, really, SGC? Really?
In conclusion, if it can be done, James T. Kirk did it first. And better.

(Sadly, suspect the former.)
We kept making references to other scifi shows through the whole.
"We've engaged the Borg... errr Wraith" (Star Trek)
"Bigg's... errr Rigg's you're with me" (Star Wars)
"Engage the worm whole weapon... errr drive" (Farscape)
Then again, Stargate. Kinda their thing. :)
That is all. ^_-
Seriously, I would like some fic about the massive city-related tidal surge.
I'm just glad I wasn't the only one thinking ST-IV!
And oh, yes. SAN FRANCISCO. HELLO. :D
may have pulled up Googlemaps and done MATHthought about it for a while - "military quarantine" only holds up for so long in this day and age. What kind of cover story are they going to cook up for this? INQUIRING MINDS.Is it so much trouble to pull up Googlemaps, is what I want to know... ;)
Stargate has weird ideas about cloaks anyway. Remember in the SG-1 episode when Sam moved the entire planet Earth slightly out of phase with its reality so that it was invisible and also unaffected by Ori weapons? Remember how said planet Earth mysteriously had no satellites -- including the moon?
Yeah. Cloaking/Stargate = a really crack OTP? I dunno.
