I’m rewatching inuyasha and have no one to talk to about the fact that Kagura should have lived and by doing so the entire Sessh/Rin weirdness could have been completely avoided. Like I have trouble picturing Kagura pregnant but that doesn’t mean it couldn’t happen and half the time in fairy tales of all locales the kids pop out of the dad’s migraine or some shit and honestly they’d also make amazing godparents (or whatever the equivalent is) to a half dozen adopted mortals and their bloodlines. I’m mad about it and commenting on ao3 fics for this fandom is like screaming into the void.
Stargate needed to develop a way to allow Earth to know about the galaxy. It might have even been an interesting way to spin off the show.
There is no way that the US government could hide the SG teams’ budget over years and that the US military wouldn’t have deployed off world technology during GWAT. Fuck, imagine the US Military deploying Zat guns to Iraq.
The Pentagon has “failed” their audit, by trillions of dollars, for over a decade. Most of us have no idea why, how, or where that money went. Out of every part of the show, the idea that the US Military could keep it a total secret from even 99% of the government is the most plausible bit. Consider this - it was an “interesting” research find in Egypt. The US Military convinced (paid) the Met to acquire it (the Met put out a fake and provided a false history, which is what Daniel was working with at the start of the movie). The real thing, lacking the DHD, was brought to what would become SG-1.
Who would ever know? Why would they ever know? Why, in fact, would they ever think to look? Everyone is so thoroughly bullshitted by decades of Egyptology, UFOlogy and Ancient Aliens theories (including von Daniken), that they’d never imagine looking for one machine run by the US military that they don’t talk about.
in the ALT TIMElines, the aschen they finally did it, but unknowingly accelerating thier own extinction. and then the alt-U version where the world became aware after anubis attacked earth. With the new series, 10 episodes if they are going for that doesnt seem enough for a scifi to develop properly.
oh god now I’m thinking about the whole disintegrating thing again
It was just a gas leak.
They made fun of that in the show.
