Things that make me go hmmm...
1. Everyone always called Janet Dr. Fraiser. It occurred to me today on the drive to work that she probably should have been referred to as Major Fraiser, for as Sam has adamantly reminded people before, she should be referred to by her rank, not her title. Medical doctors in the service don't go by 'Dr.' do they? (Yes, this *is* the sort of thing I think of on the commute.)
2. When someone is dialing a Stargate, at the other end there is no way to know where the wormhole is coming from, correct? The ring doesn't spin on the receiving side, does it? And even if it did(Like the one time there was a incoming wormhole at the SGC and they showed it spinning to the Earth symbol for the last one, but the seventh chevron or point of origin wouldn't be Earth, since the wormhole originated from somewhere else. Or is the point of origin unique on each DHD and therefore the Earth symbol is just a place holder for the other unknown origin?) Am I just thinking far too much about something I should just handwave? (Don't get me started on the graphic from the movie where they "track" the traveler through the "known" galaxy as if looking at the whole journey from a neutral 'out there somewhere' perspective. lol)
And yes, I am writing a fic, wondering if someone dialed the SGC for help, would the SGC be able to tell where they were if the off world person couldn't tell them? Or would they have to be coherent enough to be able to transmit their position, as in give them the planet's address, so rescue teams could be sent?
3. I've had a pretty crappy week for many reasons (other than the glee of Indulgence that is, the one bright spot in my week). In a fit of desperation to change my luck, I wore my kickiest outfit today, the one that never fails to make me feel awesome, centering around my kick ass knee-high brown boots from Florence. I am a little in awe at the power a pair of stellar footwear has to cheer my mood. Thank you, Boots of Wonder. I think the sunshine and 75 degree weather helped, too.
4. Also, I know this makes me more than a little nutty, but this song is Sam and Jack. I promise not to make you endure songfic. But if I could vid, you bet your ass I would. :)
5. Argh. Why do lyrics sound so much more cheesy when you read them? I swear, #4 above was not meant to be cheesy. You just have to listen to the actual song! And...uh...pretend the word 'baby' isn't actually in the song. Oh, screw it. I'm taking #4 back. I'm allowed to have some fandom secrets, right? ;)
6. I know I am unbearably picky and have more squicks than most sane people, but please, for the love of everything round and spin-y, do not have Jack and Sam use endearments EVERY SINGLE LINE of dialog for pages at a time, no matter who is around to hear it or not. Especially not if it is 'babe,' 'honey,' and 'love.' Of course, if Jack or Sam is doing this with evil intent to make the other absolutely batshit, then, by all means, proceed.
7. Apparently I am cranky. Did I mention I no longer have TV? *kicks broken Direct TV receiver*Season finale of Project Runway, people. *cries*
8. Now I am trying to think of what endearments I could see different characters use in various pairings. Because as![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
beanpot rightly pointed out, Cam would totally call Sam 'babe' and she probably wouldn't even kill him. I bet there are some awesome ones Bra'tac uses on the ladies.
9. And that....pretty much is a glance into the inner workings of my mind at any given moment.
I probably should have cut this. Meh.
