<blockquote>So long, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."</blockquote>

<blockquote>The Stargates' universal translation effect can sometimes make secret communication in enemy territory difficult. Luckily, Rodney has a plan.</blockquote> ➤and that plan is to talk entirely in cultural references where the meaning doesn't translate with the words. SO GREAT even if I don't understand three quarters of what they're saying.

<blockquote>John said he kinda liked it in Antarctica. What if he really, really hadn't?</blockquote>

<blockquote>It’s been a year and a half, and John’s gotten used to Atlantis. Command can be a pain in the ass, and there’s the possible death by life-sucking alien, 1950’s-era bomb attack, ten-thousand-year-old anything, and being turned into a fucking bug, but there are perks. Really sweet ride, for one. Ascended sex. Fucking with Rodney’s head. Shooting people. All in all, he likes it. And he’s settled in, tested his limits, gotten comfortable. He got himself into command right away, figured out how far he could go with Elizabeth during the virus incident (answer: all the way, like he ever thought anything else), and just recently, the Caldwell Goa’uld thing. Serious luck, there. No one really trusts Caldwell anymore.</blockquote>

<blockquote>But John’s really kind of fed up with this by now. “But what are you doing? I find you somewhere totally uncritical, doing something you won’t explain, without anyone else knowing, and as the ranking military officer—” “Would you shut up? Don’t you ever want to get away from stupid questions and life-sucking aliens for half an hour?” And now Rodney looks pissed off. “I—” Okay. Getting away. Bubble. Hypnotic. Right. John suddenly feels…kind of stupid.</blockquote>

<blockquote>"You don't know why you have a watch in your vest?" John asked.</blockquote> ➤ in which Rodney is a pocketwatched time lord

<blockquote>“This is insane. This is—this is,” McKay babbles as he takes in the arena. The many, many thousands of people packed in the stands and seats are especially daunting, like something taken straight out of Earth’s Roman history books and plunked down smack dab in the middle of another galaxy. “At least you don’t have to go out there,” John mutters, studying the layout intently. </blockquote>
