stargate episodes that should have been, part 62: jack is on a fishing trip and has turned off his phone and locked it in a box. so he misses the thirty-eight calls from general hammond about the alien invasion currently happening. meanwhile, the rest of sg-1 is busy offworld trying to get a hold of thor to let him know that hey, the goa’uld are invading, and doesn’t that violate our treaty? unfortunately for them, thor is also currently up at jack’s cabin in minnesota, fishing. none of the asgard know where he is and they can’t get a hold of him, because jack made him also lock his asgard phone in the box. on earth, it’s currently just the sgc under siege, but they need to wrap this up quickly before the secret’s out. hammond is switching between phone calls with the president and russia every five seconds, and major davis is there. clearly, this is a Bad Situation. just when it seems that the jaffa are about to breach the base, sg-1 returns! they don’t have thor or any other asgard, but they brought the next best thing: yu. as one of the system lords who originally negotiated the treaty, he’s pretty well-equipped to deal with the situation. he insisted on bringing his first prime with him, but that’s ok because his first prime is a bro. a temporary cease-fire is called while yu and daniel go up to the attacking ha’tak to negotiate. yu’s first prime stays in the sgc. he has a staring contest with teal’c. it’s getting late, and jack and thor go inside to have dinner. (not fish—they didn’t catch any.) thor tries to check his messages on his asgard phone but jack doesn’t let him. they turn on the news and see discussion of a mysterious crater that appeared near washington dc. the government is saying it’s from a meteorite, but footage of what made the crater looks like, well, not a meteorite. specifically, it looks like weapons fire from a ha’tak, but obviously the news people don’t know that. jack begrudgingly unlocks the phone box. up on the ha’tak, yu and daniel are in a cell. yu is doing what goa’ulds do best: whining about it. turns out some minor goa’uld is trying to make a play for power and doesn’t want to listen to any system lords. fortunately, thor’s ship is in orbit. he and jack beam aboard and take care of the situation by threatening the goa’uld. the ha’tak makes to leave, but thor is able to beam daniel and yu off before it jumps away. jack tries to convince yu to come fishing with him, without success.
u know when the pentagon is getting involved in stargate affairs, its serious business 😂
imagine every crop circle/flying saucer/mysterious crater phenomenon in the stargate universe is really a remnant of a near-miss alien incursion on earth. I WANT TO BELIEVE.
also, yu doesn't know what he's missing!

Top five Stargate characters? Both in general and attractiveness-wise
Ok lmao ok ok
Jack O’Neill yep you know it I know it we all fucking know it. I mean honestly what do I have left to say that hasn’t already been said??? Nothin. No words. Lets do lunch.
So controversial take I’m sure but truth be told I never would’ve even gotten into stargate if it hadn’t been for one Robert Carlyle and for that alone Nicholas Rush gets a number 2 slot I mean I was gonna long haul it with this dude and the oc insert I wrote for him in the 11th grade it was fucking 20 pages long do not @ me but I just think that sad idiot deserved better even tho jesus he’s such a shit sometimes I love him he’s my favorite space rat
Teal’c. He’s too iconic too good to much of a bae and my god his personalized episodes were all over the place and if I could reach into canon and fix it I would. For him. My sweet spicy cowboy alien. Also I will live in envy of his winged eyeshadow forever there is really just so much gender there that I envy but also he really is kinda the soul of the team and he always asks everybody how they doin and frankly he’s too undercredited for that
SAMMY!!!! But like… before they kinda did weird white catholic mom shit with her wardrobe in like seasons 5 onward. Leather jacket sam lives rent free in my head and I miss her and I have so much I would do with her if amazon hired me to write a new stargate series like fuckin cALL ME
Spicy hot take but That nox lady??? Lya? Mad druid/fae vibes. Gotta be one of my favorite genders. Really wish the mythology mesh of that was explored more in sg1 in general (you would think I hate this show with how much I find that I feel some odd compulsion to fix in this show but I don’t lmao it’s a fave)

Heather Watched the Extended Threads.
As if I haven’t already had a bad morning, lets emotionally torture ourselves shall we. Here is my running commentary:
Under a read more cause it was 8 pages of notes. 
That Previously On just shows that the main point of this episode is to get Sam and Jack together so if y’all don’t think they’re together after this, I have some news for you.
Gucci Douchebag making an appearance in the Previously On is not my idea of fun
JACOB I MISS YOU I AM ALREDY CRYING GOD HELP ME
Alright the episode has started with KERRY JOHNSON LOVE OF MY LIFE
Sam, you can’t be jealous, you’re literally MARRYING ANOTHER MAN.
Lol Jack you moron as if Daniel would walk through the door right now.
Sam is glaring at you funny just fyi.
But he’s right, Daniel is just waiting for y’all to be nice about him.
Oma I would like to order a plate of fucks to give about Daniel’s story at this point
Teal’c of the Tau’ri is a cute title I love that man
Aww I feel so proud of Teal’c.
FUCK OFF PETE
JAAACOOOB
Pete is so cringy
Jacob let Jack call him Dad once.. Pete has to wait until after marriage.
This is awkward as fuck
Pete you are so insensitive,
Jacob hates him. Same honestly.
You can tell he hates him tho, he’s not hiding it. My partners mum did a better job and she’s homophobic.
Sam is SO NOT in love with this guy
Oma being cryptic, checks out
Anubis makes me wanna punch someone.
This episode is really just tying up loose threads (probably hence the title) but its nice to know Pete is considered a loose thread 😊
Teal’c having to decide between the Jaffa and the Tau’ri is sad
Agh the newspaper and Daniel finding out about plans is an aggravating storyline
“I’m gonna marry him” reads the same as “Dad, I am happy”. Honey who are you trying to convince??? We don’t believe you.
“I know how happy he makes you” *Cut to Sam who looks nonchalant* *cut to Jacob who knows exactly what he’s doing and what he’s doing is attempting to stop her marrying Gucci Doucebag*
Selmak isn’t alive to make that call Jacob stop lying
I’M GONNA CRY AGAIN
She is really thinking about this. Like she looks like she’s second guessing herself constantly.
KERRY
JACK
KERRY AND JACK
JACK AND KERRY
WAKING UP TOGETHER
OH I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!
I love how soft and tender he is with her, I imagine he’d be the same with Sam.
I love how he cuddles her and kisses her and plays with her hair and that hand on her face I--- *insert heart eyes*
I just really love them so much I wish we got more of soft, boyfriend Jack
Trouble in Jaffa land lol
I think he did really like her though.
Anyway back to Half Ascended!Daniel
Oma ya shouldn’t have helped the first two times, that’s the fucking problem babe
I literally do not give a shit about Daniel, I’m sorry. I really try but I can’t
OH NO THE PHONE CALL SCENE
She is SO sick of Gucci Douchebag
I can’t believe he called her at WORK over FLOWERS
AND SAYING ITS URGENT FUCK SAKE
I love Peter in the back
Jack watching her
Jacob is playing matchmaker so hard I fucking love him
Sam’s face tho is sooooo funny LIKE DAD SHUT UP WE DON’T MENTION THIS IN FRONT OF MY CO
Oh the little sigh he does before telling her to go pick flowers I can’t handle that man, he’s so heartbroken its like a lost puppy
Jack smiles but his eyes say oh yeah, I lost her and she’s happy with someone else now. PLOT TWIST: she’s miserable
Sam looks hurt because she still loves Jack
FUCK ME IT HURTS THEY DESERVED MORE
Jacob don’t play dumb babe, we know what you’re trying to do
Oh she MAD MAD at Dad
Why is it ok to break some rules and not others, you ask? Because y’all are white and can get away with it?
Oma just stop helping people. You don’t need to help them, just stop. I don’t want to be an ascended being y’all suck
Chocolate or vanilla like go HOME WE DON’T WANT YOU HERE
Sam shaking her head no about getting blown up by aliens is so cute I love her so much
This feels like friends talking
Or like these two people I know who claim they’re in love but its always soooo awkward around them.
Generally speaking that’s my type like you haven’t had two alien boyfriends in the last 8 years babe
“I have a surprise for you” YOU BOUGHT A FUCKING HOUSE WITHOUT TELLING HER YOU CRETIN
THAT’S NOT A SURPRISE THAT’S CONTROLLING AND WEIRD
I hate that she looks happy. Don’t get me wrong I want her happy, I really do. And as much as I’m sure she loved Pete, she wasn’t in love with him. But I suppose she was happy for the first time with some one she could have… feelings are complicated, best not to have them honestly.
Jack has really long eyelashes. Just an observation.
That’s a lotta sugar, Danny boy. And Its not gonna make you any sweeter, I promise.
I love that he took the cup with him like he’s gonna drink it with THAT much sugar in it
Exposition, exposition, exposition.
Go away Anubis ya pain In the arse.
Oh the HOUSE
Have I said how much I hate that outfit cause I hate that outfit
It is a beautiful house to be fair but like…
Look at the PANIC in her eyes
I already have a problem with how they got engaged and the fact they stayed together after he STALKED HER.
Pete’s ability to control a situation and guilt trip her (literally he ran away and had her investigated by the FBI when she wouldn’t tell him about her work) reminds me of my ex. Which is probably why I hate him so damn much.
THE DECK SCENE
HER LOOKING AT HIS HOUSE
THE MUSIC
HE LOOKS GOOD IN DARK BLUE
I’M SORRY ITS ALL IN CAPS I’M TYPING AND WATCHING AND I’M SCREMING ON THE INSIDE DEAL WITH IT FAM I’M SORRY
THAT SMALL GRIN ON HIS FACE WHEN SHE SAYS SHE’S BEEN WORKING UP THE NERVE TO COME AND TALK TO HIM
TRUTH IS I’VE BEENTRYING TO WORK UP THE EVER FOR A LOT LONGER THAN THAT STOOP
ITS NOT GREAT JACK
YEAH BUT JACK HAS AN EVEN NCER HOSUE
SECOND THUGHTS
YES YOU ARE. GIANT MISTAKE INFACT
SHE’S REHEREDSE THIS SO MANY TIMES
KERRY FUCK OFFF NOW IS NOT THE TIME SWEETIE
THE BEER LOL
UES IT IS AWKKWARD
JACKS FACE OUCH
KERRY IS SO SWEET ASKING HER TO STAY FOR LUNCH
NO NOT DAD FUCK
Kerry caught him looking a little too long tbh
I’m not editing typos out of that btw it shows my rage
DAAAAAAD
JACOB YOU SWEET MAN
Oh sam honey I’m so sorry
I’m gonna cry again
FUCK OFF DANIEL JFC I literally do not give a shit
I only found out about Carmen’s death a couple months ago so I’m not gonna handle this well fam
Oh no
I’m typing and not looking again
Because Jacob is gonna tell her to go after Jack
I can’t breath
Six years ago
I’m not letting that go
It’s a continuity fuck up
Not that important but drives me nuts
No you’re not
He’s talking about jack
Come on sam he’s not dum
Everything you want is a house, a marriage and JACK
KERRY
LOVE OF MY LIFE
BREAKING UP WITH JACK FOR THE GREATER GOOD
I really like YOU Kerry
He’s so sad
He really liked Kerry
Retire please sir
Bye Kerry, I miss you already <3
If he told Sam he loved her right now she’d drop everything for him
He’s contemplating it
He’s confused but he’s thinking abut it because she’s stressed right now and ENGAGED but damn Kerry makes good points
More explanation and blah blah
Like if this was the main point of the story, there would be more talk of it outside of Daniel and we wouldn’t have just had 20 straight minutes if Sam and Jack pining over each other
Sorry can we talk about how PETE put a down payment on a house with OUT talking to her?? What if she didn’t like the neighbourhood?
Sorry I’m still mad about that
To be fair that green does look good on Daniel
Oma looks so proud
THEN STOP -B R E A K I N G- IT YOU GOOSE
Fuck sake woman
I’m so emotionally traumatised by this episode that I can’t remember half of what is added and half of whats in the 40 minute cut because I am repressing it lol. Obviously the scene with Kerry and the ones with Pete
NO JACOB
AND JACK BEING THERE FOR SAM
AND THEY MIGHT AS WELL HAVE SAID I LOVE YOU ALL OVER AGAIN
SORRY I NEED A TEN MINUTE BREAK TO CRY
OK I’m back
Sam looking at her like he wants to tell her he loves her breaks my tiny stone cold heart even more
He didn’t actually NEED to put his arm around her but they both actually really did need it
The way she rubs her thumb on his hand and leans into him I fucking can’t
AND MORE DANEIL FFS
Sorry I just feel like this was supposed to be the A plot, Dakara was the B plot and Sam/Jack was the C plot but it ended up Sam/Jack = A, Daniel and Anubis = B, Dakara = C
Took ya long enough to catch on, Danny boy
Good BYE PETE
You didn’t know shit from the beginning go home
That’s the same shade of blue Jack had on before… interesting
I mean it does have something to do with her father…
She will, babe, don’t stress
To be fair, to give him some credit, he took it like a champ
But also don’t be a creep ya know
Why does Sam’s jacket look awkward
She just looks awkward this entire sequence
INCOMING WORMHOLE
What, pray tell, is the point of the self destruct if it doesn’t blow up the gate? Isn’t that part of the point?
Daniel ya tit, that’s not gonna work
Fuck YEAH OMA
BEAT HIS FUCKING ASS
Now Daniel can come back to earth and be with Vala thanks
Literally the only time I like him is with Vala and then its with a push
This seems a little too convenient tbh
I know it was OMA but this episode just feels…. Disjointed
Ah but will you destroy it? Probably not knowing the Jaffa
I wonder if Sam and Jack have spoken by now. Clearly not the same day because different clothes.
I’d say two days since Dad?
Ack Naked!Daniel
Jack is so AWKWARD I LOVE HIM
SAM CAN’T LOOK AT HIM
BRA’TAC IS ENCOURAGING THIS BULL SHIT
F I S H I N G
I can believe it, Sam.
She’s leaning towards him
Aw that giggle
That look she gives him
They’re so happy
This was the perfect ending
It should have finished there
How much time passed between then and s9 I wonder
At least a month right because Sam had been away a month?
Well that was good.
Hurt my heart but it was good
Final notes:
Jacob and Janet deserved better
I want more Kerry
They should have stopped at s9
Sam and Jack are together now, TRY and convince me otherwise
I’m thinking of smutty fic ideas for the cabin please stop me
Thanks for coming along on that emotional roller coaster ride. Ended up being 9 pages of dot points so I’m sorry! But I feel like I’ve said my bit.
Oh one last thing
Fuck Pete 😊

OK BUT SAM AND HELEN GET SWAPPED AND LIKE. Sam and Nikola would DO SCIENCE but she’s not Helen and he’s not Jack so eventually they’d figure out how to send her back and Helen WAKES UP IN AN AIR FORCE BASE and starts taking people TF out (Because has she been captured by the U.S. military!?) but then runs in to Teal’c and they are just like. Bros. Jack is a little freaked about the hair. And the fact that she’s, you know, NOT CARTER WHERE IS CARTER. I may have imagined this a lot lol
Oooooooh, so almost a body swap through time? Nice, I like! (Espesh with some Teal'c and Jack moments where Teal'c is reassuring Jack that they *will* find Sam, and Biggie (or Henry) finding Sam making coffee and missing Jack but denying it hardcore and reassuring her that she'll get home...) Oooooh, now I want this. Wish I could write the SG1 characters, and Biggie... And Henry. XD

Not What It Looks Like
Based off the prompt from @rauzadian. It was supposed to be more Jack/Sam-y than it came out, please forgive me! Maybe I’ll do a shippier one later in the year. Hope you like it! ---
It was beautiful day and Daniel was damn sure going to enjoy it. SG-1 had a whole week off, essentially ordered off-base by General Hammond to “relax, unwind, and enjoy yourselves”, and Daniel was going to do just that. Maybe he’d go to the park down the street and read. No, he thought, a walk sounds better.
He missed the openness of Abydos, the vastness of the desert with its ever-reaching hills. He missed strolling together with Sha’re, teaching her English and learning about her childhood, her family, her hopes, just her. He could listen to her speak for hours, in English or Abydonian, it didn’t matter. She was so free with herself in every way.
Speaking of free, Daniel thought, pulling himself from his memories. He hated feeling cooped up and he often walked around town for hours, stopping at various parks or benches to people-watch. It wasn’t that same as Abydos but it was fun in its own way. He may love history and cultures of different planets but that didn’t mean he didn’t appreciate the culture and people of today here on earth.
I wonder what Sam’s up to, Daniel thought. He’s walked to her place many times and convinced her to walk with him. She didn’t enjoy longer walks, being much more of the mindset that if you’re going to cover 5 miles in an afternoon that you might as well knock it out with a run. But she humors him when she’s not busy, still liking to get out and enjoy the company and fresh air for a little. Sam often teased him about walking so much on his downtime when that’s what they do for a large percentage of their time working.
But then again, I like doing all aspects of my job, on or off the clock, he thought.
Daniel picked up his cell phone and checked the time, 0930, good, late enough.
He called Sam’s cell and it immediately went to voicemail. He tried her house phone next but that just rang several times and then went to her answering machine.
Deciding he had nothing better to do, he poured his coffee into a travel mug and went to the door to put on shoes and a light-weight jacket. About 30 minutes into his walk he decided he may as well drop by Sam’s and see if she’s home. Maybe she was just running errands, he thought.
About 45 minutes after that decision, he strolled up the path to her door. He noticed her plants on the porch were looking a little worse for wear as he knocked. He went and nudged them forward into the sunlight, out from the shade of the overhang.
Huh, where is she? He knocked again and this time placed his ear up to the door. He could faintly hear some music coming from inside the house.
Well that explains her not answering the phone. Chuckling to himself, he got his keys out and unlocked her door. Walking inside he could more clearly hear Fleetwood Mac coming up from the basement. He shook off his jacket and threw it over the back of her couch and started to take off his shoes.
He knew her place almost as well as his own at this point. The living room was pretty but not really lived in. Her favorite part of the house, and his if he was being honest, was the furnished basement. It had one side with a computer and work area for all her personal projects and a large TV and comfy couch on the other. He has spent many nights on that couch, watching movies, talking, or just sleeping after drinking too much while doing the first two. He wasn’t surprised that she was lost to the world down there.
He walked over to the open basement door and shouted down over the music, “Sam!”
There was a little bit of shuffling and then the music was turned down and a slightly confused “Daniel?” floated back up the stairs at him.
“Yeah it’s me. You need some coffee?”
“Sure. I’ll be right up.” She responded.
With that he moved into the kitchen as he hummed along with the music. Daniel moved confidently around her kitchen, pouring out the remnants of what had to have been Sam’s breakfast coffee brew, and set about making a fresh one.
As Sam’s footsteps on the stairs rang out, Daniel pulled two mugs down from the cabinet over her sink.
“Good morning, Daniel.” Sam said as she walked into the kitchen.
“Hey Sam, coffee’s almost ready.” He replied with a quick glance over his shoulder at her.
“Great. So, what’s up?” Sam asked him. It wasn’t completely unheard of for him to come over but usually he would call first. She wished he would have since her calendar isn’t exactly free this morning.
He turned around and leaned back against the counter as the coffee dripped on behind him.
“Nothing. I was out for a walk and wanted to know if you’d like to join me.”
Sam smiled at him, “I’d loved to but I’m kind of busy this morning.”
He chuckled as he took her in completely. She was wearing lounge pants and a grey t-shirt. Her hair was different, sort of fluffier than usual, probably not doing much more than running her hands through it after showering. He noticed a small grease spot near her temple. He seen it a thousand times, both on world and off, Sam engrossed in her work and absentmindedly pushing her hair away from her face with oiled or greased up hands.
“I can see that.” He replied as he walked up to her and wiped at the smudge with his thumb.
“What?” She questioned, though she didn’t shy away from his touch. The entire team was casual and free with their touches. Teal’c had to qualms about placing his hands on their shoulders to gently nudge them away from their off-world discoveries for the night. The Colonel was quick with a pat on the back or the head, that really should seem condescending but never did.
That went doubly for the experts of the team. They worked so closely together that it was second nature for him to help pull her out from under a machine or for her to push his glasses up after they had slowly slipped down his nose. Not to mention the times spent lounging on her basement couch, watching a movie with her feet in his lap, or his head on hers. They were close by profession but comfortable by choice with each other.
“You have grease on your face. See?” He showed her his thumb and the stain on it.
“Oh jeez. I’m a mess.” She laughed.
His thumb went back to her head as he laughed with her. “It’s alright, we’ll have you back to normal in a second.”
Their conversation and laughter had drowned out the sound of a key turning in the already open lock of her front door. And the footsteps that brought Jack to the doorway to the kitchen.
“Uh, hey guys.”
They jumped and both turned towards the intruder.
“Sir!”
“Jack, hey!”
Jack just arched an eyebrow and cocked his head looking them,
It was then that Daniel noticed that in their surprise, his hand had traveled from the side of Sam’s face to her hair. With a sidelong glance at Sam, he slowly brought his arm down to his side. Sam’s eyes widened in realization. They looked at each other and then Jack with smiles emerging on their faces.
With a smirk, Daniel said “This is not what it looks like.”
Sam joined in his laughter as Jack just shook his head at two of the stupidest geniuses he’s ever known.
“Well, it looks like you were almost successful at removing that grease stain from Carter’s head.”
Calmed down but face still glowing in laughter, Daniel said “Ok, it is what it looks like.”
With that, Sam went and grabbed a paper towel, wet it in the sink and started to scrub at the spot on her face.
Daniel walked back over to the coffee pot and once again leaned back against the counter.
“So, what’s brought you over here?”
“Well, Carter-“
Sam interrupted, “The Colonel was bringing me over something that I needed for the project I’m working on.”
Daniel’s eyes immediately went to the grocery store bag in Jack’s left hand. It was twisted as if Jack had been spinning it around, which knowing Jack was probably the case. Daniel could just make out a black box through the plastic.  
“Oh yeah?” he replied.
Jack slowly smoothed the bag and reached into it.
Jack cleared his throat and said, “This is not what it looks like,” as he pulled out a box of Trojan Magnum condoms.
Sam immediately starting rambling about small electronic parts and organization methods. After a few seconds, both men erupted in laughter.

OK so this last episode of Stargate, “Tin Man”, REALLY messed me up because in it (SPOILERS!) the team gets turned into robot clone versions of themselves.  At first they think their consciousness has just been TRANSFERRED into a synthetic body by a very lonely and desperate alien, and Daniel concludes it doesn’t matter what body they’re in, they’re still themselves as long as they have the same soul and consciousness, which I generally agreed with, but then later they find out that their ORIGINAL, organic selves are still alive and they are actually COPIES of their consciousness place inside synthetic bodies and can’t go back to their old lives because their original selves are going back and they need the power source on this particular planet in order to survive.  And then only Jack seemed to really have a problem with it, and had to have a snarky yet heartfelt talk with his alternate self in order to accept this fate.  Jack had the biggest problem with being synthetic in the first place, as well, before he knew he was knockoff of himself.  I suppose the point was that he was the most attached to the idea of being fully human.  Teal’c was stoic alien with differing values, Carter was able to be scientific about it, and Daniel was able to convince himself he had the same identity, and was most sympathetic to the sad and desperate alien who had done this to them.  But won’t robot Daniel still miss Sha’re and want to rescue her?  Won’t robot Carter miss what she gets to learn from the new planets, miss her home and her place in life?  Won’t robot Teal’c still feel the deep need to fight the tyranny of the Goa’uld?  I mean, they don’t have time in one episode to explore these things, and I don’t know if they ever come back (they buried their Stargate to prevent this happening to others) but it’s gonna bother me.
I guess I was just hit as hard as Jack was with the implications of finding out you’re the robot CLONE, not the robot SELF, and that the other version of you is probably MORE of the real you, and has more right to your individual identity.  I wonder if I found out if I was a robot clone what I would do.  I think I would resent my organic self’s claim on my identity very much.  I hope I wouldn’t try to hurt my organic self in order to reclaim myself. Perhaps my two selves would be empathetic to each other, and hug and reassure our sobbing counterparts.  Perhaps they’d get in fist fights, because sometimes I just want to have a fist fight and it would feel less like hurting another person.  Would we work out a timeshare on my life and different aspects of it?  My organic self, an emetophobic hypochondriac, would certainly resent my robot self’s guaranteed perfect health.  She would probably call up her robot clone and complain every time she was sick, and my robot self, DESPITE her robotic-ness, would probably have enough lingering hypochondria and muscle memory to feel sympathetic sickness hearing my other self describe her symptoms, and would beg her to stop, at which point my organic self would probably apologize and burst into tears.  I really do wonder how nice my two selves would be to each other, since I tend to be a lot nicer to other people than to myself.  Would they treat each other like other people, or like themselves?  As time wore on and they had different experiences, their identities and personalities would no doubt grow somewhat divergent.  Would they be FRIENDS?  It would be so WEIRD to be friends with yourself?    Our relationships?  If one of them fell in love, would they both love the same person? Could they marry different people?  I asked my dad what he would do if he became a robot clone, and he has the complication that he’s already married.  Would both of my dad’s selves be my mom’s husband??  Would they both be my father? It’s messing me up, man.  If my robotic self had perfect health and never had to eat, would she bother getting and job and not being homeless? What would be the spiritual implications of the separate souls and the potential immortality of the robot self?
Anyways, the takeaways: 1) I should write a story about this, 2) Identity is complicated and really important to me, and it brings to mind this one time I was playing an RPG and I allowed my PC to get eaten by giant pterodactyls or something because I refused to escape through a portal that would transport me to safety but erase my whole memory and sense of self.  I don’t even know if the PC was supposed to know that the portal would do this, but player Malina knew and she couldn’t bear the idea, and so PC Malina died in the name of identity, 3) this kind of exploration is one of many reasons I freaking LOVE sci-fi.

Heather Watches SG1: s1ep4 The Broca Divide
On todays episode of Heather doesn’t have anything better to do with her time and wants to re-watch episodes she’s seen 8 times/in the last 2 months, I will be rewatching Broca Divide and giving my thoughts in the form of dot points. It makes me laugh, it makes you laugh apparently and its just a bit of fun. I will try and put these all in one place at some point so we can find them all. 
Warning: I don’t like Daniel in this episode (or most for that matter) so if Daniel is your fave, look away!
Really pretty shot of the mountain
dress blues fuck
they look so good
like really fucking good
Sam is like “sir did you just sass the General?”
she just rolled her eyes at him and did the little grin when he joked about the names being too complicated she’s so cute and adorable
Jack looks really really good
Like they both look so fucking good in those dress uniforms 
I have a thing for uniforms apparently 
but they both look good in dark blue its not my fault
Sassy Daniel
Silly Daniel (not my perscription)
Silly Jack making Sam smile (why doesn’t the MALP have one of these?)
I love them already
She’s so young.. such a baby space hero
FLYBOY
my cuppa tea is STRONG i messesd up
Night vision cam
Whomp they got jumped 
Yeah shooting works too
They were PEOPLE, Daniel.  Come on, i was starting to like you
CREDITS
I have VERY strong memories of waking up as a kid and walking past a tv that had been left on and seeing these exact opening credits when I was a kid. 
AMANDA YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL
especially that shot of them coming through the gate with the purple sky, I strongly remember that. 
Does Daniel ever know whats going on/what it is/where they are/what it means? 
I also call it rape and agree we should stop it fuck you Daniel, wtf?!?!?!
I don’t care if you think its how pre historic men mate, its fucking rape you ass hole what the fuck  This isn’t a prehistoric time, you didn’t time travel, you can interfere. How Sam did not deck you at all during the last two episodes is BEYOND ME 
The Untouched. 
ooooh sun
JACK AND SAM BEING ADORABLE AND JOKING AROUND STOP MY HEART I LOVE THEM
I remember when my friends and I watched this and we were joking about how Jack went grey really quick and @allofthecaffeine said it was because he had to parent Daniel. I died
Scruffy Jack looks SO FUCKING GOOD WTF
he is so aesthetically pleasing honestly
Jack stop being sarcastic

for the ask meme: S A M
Oooooh, thank you! (And yaay, Sam!! XD)
S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged) - How long have you got? XD
(I might have spoken about this one before, but I’ve only really been awake for the last hour and a half and not had tea yet, so sorry if this is old news. :)) I have the headcanon that Henry and Helen used to be way closer (more properly mother/son than boss/employee), but when he first discovered that she had taken him from the moors, the scales fall from his eyes and she’s no longer his mother but a destroyer of families, a full on kidnapper (he’s a teenager at the time, and still having problems with changing with his HAP physiology). So he stays for a while, then gets a full ride to a university doing something technological (but spends most of his time gaming - boy has mad skillz that far outstrip the lecturers). Whilst he’s away, he stops feeling so angry (mostly because he’s not seeing Helen’s face every day), and starts looking for his birth parents (which we know is a bust).
Things happen (an abnormal maybe in the uni, or something less OMFG and more slow and steady then BOOM in your face, I’m not quite sure), and he turns to the person he’d sorta written off because of how they’d both behaved for advice. Then suddenly she’s there, and it’s the start of the slow repair to get them back to an even keel (and by the time Alice is born, they’re still not 100%, but getting closer every day and aaaaaaaah....) It’s my favourite headcanon that isn’t morally ambiguous. XD
A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed. - Ok, this is another one that could be super long. I’m currently liking (and most of these are platonic ships unless they have a star next to it, then I’m shippy shipping them):
Ashley/Henry
Ashley/Kate
*Ashley/Nikola (but it’s long and involved so mostly just bromance there)
*Helen/Nigel
Nigel/Nikola
*Helen/Nigel/Nikola
Helen/Kate
Helen/Ashley/Henry
Kate/Abby
*Erika/Declan
Helen/Declan
*Sam/Janet
*Sam/Teal’c
Huh, ok, so not that long. XD
M - Name a character that you’d like to have for a friend. - Henry. XD Oh! Or Dot from Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries. She’s always really nice but level headed. So either of them. XD

Oooph...let's go back to that supernatural Sam/Jack AU :D
Ooooooh, alrighty then! XD (It got long so I put a lot of it under a cut. :))1. If you couldn’t tell, Sam’s part vampire a la Nikola in Sanctuary (so can go outside, super clever, fangs, nails, all that jazz), but tries to big up her human side (like she can make mistakes, she does get tired), not so that everyone would like her, but to stop the knee jerk snap reaction people had when they heard the word vampire. So when Jack said he liked vampires, her need to prove herself lessened from 100% to 99.9%.
2. Jack’s telepathy happened when he got caught behind enemy lines in Iraq. Something about the torture and the solitude opened parts of his mind. By the time he’s leading SG1, he’s got it pretty much under control, but “pretends” to “accidentally” blow mental raspberries in boring meetings to make Sam (and Daniel, to begin with) react. (He thinks they both need to cheer up just a smidge.)
3. For a few weeks after the clusterfuck that was Shades of Grey, Sam’s fangs would inadvertently grow around Jack, showing just how badly he’d hurt her trust (... her in general, tbh). He knows they’re ok when she smirks at a mental raspberry he blows during a slow mission debrief. After that, he’s back to sending her silly jokes mentally.
4. During Upgrades, before Sam gets her bracelet, she and Jack spar, and for once he’s keeping up with her speed wise and strength wise, and the sparring gets... Intense. By the time Sam has him pinned, they’re both panting hard on the floor, her fangs and talons out and Jack can’t help the image he sends - kissing, undressing, biting. Sam flushes, but runs (she’s still got control of her hormones at that moment). By the time the bracelets are off, Jack knows how much that image affected her (she’s only fed off of one other human because it turns her on a lot and yeah).
5. They get through the za’tarc malarkey, and leave it in the room. Except Jack opens the windows every now and then, watching as the blush creeps up her neck and blooms on her cheeks. She gets her own back - she can’t direct mental images like he can, but he’s the only telepath on base (they don’t normally go into the military) so she thinks loudly. More than once he’s raced out of a meeting, discreetly adjusting himself. They keep their hands off - frat regs still exist - but at least they have a pressure release valve.
6. Grace didn’t happen (well, she bumped her head and had a concussion and saved herself, but that bull crap with halluciJack? Nope, didn’t happen). Lost City did. She missed the ever loving out of him.
7. Fucking Pete didn’t really happen either - Mark tried to set them up, but Sam went on one date and spent the whole time thinking about Jack and the mental image he’d left her when he left the lab - the two of them, naked and sweaty, in a bed she’d never seen but would assume was the one in the cabin. Pete tried the whole, ‘Can I see you again?’ but Sam just shot him down. ‘No. Nice meeting you, I’ve gotta go.’ When she and Jack talk next, she thinks about how the date went and why it crashed and burned. Jack smirks, gives her another image and leaves her lab (kissing against her desk, one hand up her shirt, the other cradling her head, her vampire nails scratching his back).
8. When they get to the cabin one lunchtime after Moebius, Daniel and Teal’c arrive to a pristine kitchen, spotless den, and an exhausted vampire and telepath wrapped in the duvet and each other’s arms in a wrecked master bedroom. The two don’t join the others until dinnertime, and neither Daniel or Teal’c mention the various hickeys or bruises Jack has, but their eyes linger on the one bite on Sam’s neck, knowing she usually heals almost instantly. Neither’s stupid enough to ask.
