Look what showed up on my flist, stellar_dust! And as a bonus, it's a a total ripoff of practically a crossover with The Librarian!!

And, uh, while I'm at it, two questions for the flist:

1) Can anyone give me any occasions in SGA when a native of the Pegasus galaxy speaks in a language other than English?

2) And, I need allusions to famous escapes. From TV, movies, books, history, myth, whatever, so long as any reasonably literate, reasonably fannish person might be expected to get the reference. (Especially if the escape strategy consists entirely of 'lure the guards inside the cell, conk them over the head,' or something equally simple-yet-effective. Or something comically byzantine, that would work too.) The captives must not have any outside help, or have made any prior arrangements. I *know* I ought to be able to come up with a bunch of these, but most of the ones that come to mind involve help from confederates who are still free.

If Ford said that to me, I would probably get it, but I'm not sure if John and Rodney would. Although they might, and it's better than nothing. And definitely better than the actual Chon Wang method: peeing on silk to make it unbreakable and then bending bars with it.

The fact that I can't think of anything for question 1 doesn't necessarily mean that there aren't any examples; I've really only seen the latter half of season 2, and spent most of those episodes staring at Joe Flanigan.

Ah, but then I could have Rodney look confused and say "What, peeing on silk?" and John smacks him in the back of the head and says, "No, you doofus, like [some other reference I should be able to come up with and am blanking on]" and Teyla gets *more* and *more* confused.


You haven't seen S1?! S1 is brilliant. It's in syndication now - I watched 'Brotherhood' on FOX 5 yesterday afternoon, and I had forgotten just how good it was.

Every single week at, like, seven on Saturday I go "ARGH, missed it again!" One of these days I'll find some way to see it.

Rodney crosses his arms. "I am not urinating on your jacket, Major."
