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.
ITA! I've always wondered about the base commander having to give the command to open the iris even when the IDC's been sent. I mean, Hammond (and now Jack) could never get anything else done with having to be in the control room all the time!
Don't tempt me! But yeah, it would be a lovely thing to post over on anthropomor_fic...
Y'know, we've been discussing Gate/Puddle-Jumper OTP on sheppard_n_weir over at YahooGroups. It's sort of scarily graphic, if you have a good imagination. Oh, and also how SG-1 are sperm, because...um...yeah. Shutting up now.
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!
