SGA questions

[mamadeb]

I haven't seen all of the series. This is clearly the fault of the people who schedule it for Friday nights, so I have to tape it and *then* I have to find time to watch that which I have taped, and since my husband is also a fan of the series, it's not just time for *me* but it's time for *us*, and that's just not possible. So you know that episode where they all came back from the thing with Ford and the Wraith juice and so on?

Last ep I've seen.

Because then there was Shabbaton and then there was Arisia, and then there was run-up to Dinner and then there was Dinner. And as the backlog gets bigger, we have less time to catch up. And we still haven't caught up on Firefly even though we own the whole series AND have seen the movie.

So, you know? Spoilers really don't bother me. Just saying. But they may bother other people, so the answers to my questions may involve spoilers and if you don't want to know, don't go there.

And why does Skiffy have to show all the good shows on Friday night? I'm just, you know. Asking. Because I know the answer, and I get it. But that doesn't mean I have to like it.

Okay. Rant over.

I've been reading a lot of stories and I need to separate fanon from canon. Because I spent a lot of time in the TS universe, and there's more fanon there than anywhere, and I need to know what's canon, what's canon-but-exaggerated and what's pure fanon.

1. How much does Rodney love coffee? Really?
2. How much is Rodney's much used citrus allergy real, and how much can be hypochondria? How often has it been mentioned? Bee thing, too? And is the hypoglycemia real?
3. Ferris wheels? Really?
4. Caltech for John? I've seen it a couple of times, from different authors, so I'm sort of confused because I thought, you know. Colorado Springs.

and just for fun, what are the chances that John Sheppard has a really hot older brother or first cousin who's a neurosurgeon in Seattle?

The citrus allergy is from SG1, along with his piano background.

Huh.

Because, you know. Going by the fanfic, you'd think that Rodney had John taste everything for fear that the evil citric acid (which is in EVERYTHING, pretty much, because it's a preservative) might kill him.

What about the bomb from Grade 7? I assume that's canon because I've seen it in a couple of places.

Eh it's a fun canon convention because it's all "OMG John wuvs him!" but possibly workable because John might just do it to SHUT RODNEY UP ABOUT IT. Not that he'd be able to taste all the possible things that could kill him with a real citrus allergy. Someone posted something about a specific acid, making it not all of citrus, but a very specific strand and Rodney being Rodney is just over cautious.

As for the bomb? Yes, in the first episode with the Genii it's mentioned and it was grade six I beleive.

..It randomly logged me out. That was me.

in grade 6, he was visited by the CIA because he built a model of a nuke for science fair. Yes, canon. :D

Though what the CIA was doing in Canada, I have no idea.

Heh, perhaps we are to believe the CIA is just *everywhere* like Big Brother? *g* And that they don't care about legalities or jurisdictions that much anyway, especially not if their allies cooperate? I mean, the last political scandals here all seemed to be about the CIA kidnapping people as "suspected terrorists" to hold and torture them, while European authorities were not properly intervening (not even for their own citizens) or complicit or something like that. Both people with European citizenships and refugees staying in Europe have been kidnapped by the CIA, and they're investigating how complicit the European sides were. Or something like that (I admit I don't even follow this stuff closely anymore, it's just too depressing.)

Though it's hard to see why they would pay attention to Canadian school projects specifically...

[mamadeb.livejournal.com]

Maybe the whole "bomb" thing?

Which is, of course, adorable. Given Rodney and all.

[ratcreature]

But how would they even notice he did a bomb design? I guess the teacher could have alerted some kind of Canadian security agency, and those notified the CIA or something, but still.

Heh, actually, the CIA isn't supposed to work in the US they are strickly for international threats. The FBI does the stuff in the states. If I remember correctly. Them showing up at Rodney's science fair isn't that hard to believe.
