Unmade Plans (WIP: 11/20):
Sam's life takes a turn in an unexpected direction when she's faced with an unplanned pregnancy. The decision to keep the baby and raise it on her own will alter her life forever. Relationships are put to the test, especially the one between her and Jack. She doesn't know what to expect from him and he surprises her at every turn.

My S/J fics can be found on FFnet and AO3. I also tweet and tumble about the ship and my writing/stories.

You're right.The shoes they're wearing are a different style altogether from the Trainers (boots?) Raully wore.
I'm going to go with "magic coincidence" as the reason why these pesky things like shoes are universally able to fit different characters.

YEEEEE-HAAAAA!!!
General Hammond saving the day -- wonder what the President and the Joint Chiefs have to say about that.
Threading the needle... now, that's pulling some G's.
Ah, poor Teal'c though, trying to show his brothers and sisters how the goa'uld are pretending to be gods. Start small, my man, you'll get there.
I like this part better than OoM - possibly since this has actual story and isn't just a disguised clipshow.

But OoM wasn't a "disguised clip show". The framework plot of OoM was a necessary set-up for ITF.
I will never understand why people see clips/flashbacks and immediately discount the episode they appear in as meaningless, rather than looking at the larger story they serve. To me, that would be like viewing an intricate stained-glass window and focusing only on the fact that it involves individual pieces of glass ("Ugh! Asymmetrical glass! It's broken; throw it in the trash!") rather than stepping back to appreciate the entire picture.Sum, ergo scribo...

That's how my brain works... when I look at the stained glass window, I do see the different pieces and then I step back to see they are all pieces of a bigger picture. Doesn't mean I have to like it.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum

I find clip shows less interesting because less time is devoted to the actual story being served.

Is that what SG-1 actually stands for? Or is Makepeace simply using a "spelling alphabet"?
I had always assumed that SG-1 was "Stargate (Team/Unit) One".

This reduces any confusion about the string of numbers or letters spoken over radio or any time it's crucial that the receiving party does not misunderstand the name or code transmitted.
SGC is Stargate Command, so they wouldn't identify themselves as "Sierra Golf Charlie". They'd say "Stargate Command".
So why use this particular dialogue rather than "Stargate Team One", or just "Team One"?
Does "SG" not mean "Stargate"?

I haven't heard of the teams being called "Stargate (Team) One, Stargate Team Two, etc." so I don't think SG-1 is necessarily an abbreviation of another official name.
I don't know if this is related, but, if memory serves, in Proving Ground Jack referred to SGC as Sierra Golf Charlie when "finding out" about a foothold situation over radio. I'm not too sure when else they would have had to identify themselves as such. With regard to the different teams, not confusing the numbers might be important enough to warrant using the spelling alphabet through audio transmission.
Anyone can feel free to correct me. I have no background in this area.

I have heard Jack refer to the team as Sierra Gulf, but not on too many occasions, and mostly when talking over the radio.Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum
