The perfect vacation

Uh, the ATA gene hardly protects you from Wraith. At least not by itself.

Dave Barry: Guys like neat stuff. And by "neat" I mean "mechanical and unnecessarily complex."

Oh, so the Wraith can have fun with Phil the Prince of Insufficient Light? I'm sure that they'd be terrified of that pitchspoon!

No, but the cool tech you get to use with it does! And then I could fly a Puddle Jumper. Which is win points in itself...not to mention I might pull a Daniel and geek out at the whole thing, just because it's there.

One thing I like about Stargate is that you can get away with naming ships things like Puddlejumpers. You just KNOW that if it was Trek they would've used Gateship.

Oh, and are you assuming that just having the ATA gene automatically gives you the ability to pilot a starship? I'd definately stratch some paint off of the Gate the first time I tried to fly one.

Or if it was 'Moebius'.

Well, I'd be better than Carson, for sure. And probably Rodney. I've actually flown a small plane before and didn't do badly. As in crash or hit anything. Okay, it was in a field, but there were a couple trees I could've hit. I can also concentrate quite well when I try.

Puddle Jumpers for the win. One of the reasons Sheppard is awesome. And I don't know...'Delta Flyer' sounds pretty rad.

[Nate the Great]

Yeah, well, in Moebius there was no Sheppard to come up with a better name. Plus I think it was there so that Rodney can sleep better knowing (on a subconscious level) that there are universes out there where his name won out.

And did those trees almost feel like they were kissed? (Obscurity is my bread and butter)

Okay, informal poll, who is more of a blatant O'Neill clone: Sheppard or Mitchell?

I'd want a vacation in the h2g2 universe. I'd be sure to bring my towel.

[MaverickZer0]

Neither of them are really much like O'Neill, by Mitchell really is far more. He likes all the stuff blowing up, is kinda dense sometimes, etc. Sheppard generally tries to calm down the people who get overexcited about some new thing (unless 'some new thing' is an Ancient toy, then he has fun with it) I do like Sheppard better than Mitchell, too.

Mitchell isn't an O'Neill knockoff, though--he's Jack if he'd grown up about twenty years later. Fairly different, though there are similarities.

I think Rodney is less concerned about the universes that won out than his sister telling people his real first name.
