I was so confuzzled. Um, hello, they were on the radio...maybe you can't be absolutely certain it isn't someone impersonating them, or that they aren't being held hostage and made to say these things, but still!
True. Not to mention, in the past they don't usually even call to ask if the iris is open. They just send the code and go through. I've often thought that was a good way to get someone killed - after all, what if the gate techician was just a little slow in opening the iris, or there was a malfunction? I'd be calling in just to check the damn thing was open so I wouldn't go squish.
Oh, yes, they could. "I'm a doctor, not a jumper pilot/Gate technician/Wraith-bait!"
Bwah! This is going to be such a fun little fandom. Beckett is just the coolest thing ever *snuggles him*
Bwahahaha! So true! OMG, I wanna see someone write this now.
Don't tempt me! But yeah, it would be a lovely thing to post over on anthropomor_fic...
It worked this time because the show operated in something resembling real time, so the sun wouldn't get too far up. But if they do that in the future, when they're all over time-of-day-wise, it might start looking very odd.
True. I loved the real-time thing - added to the MASHness I was feeling with both Stargates tonight.
Yeah--much as I hated the Sci-Fi Bitch of yore, she was good at letting you know that the show was going to be back on in ten seconds.
Heh, yeah. And they used to have the actors for series saying "This is Sci-Fi" and stuff during breaks so you'd know. That was helpful!
