-and of the Goa'uld on Earth, while I'm at it-

Seriously. If there's something in SG-1 canon I missed that contradicts any of my inferences, I'd like to know.

Why did they change the backdating for the television series? Seriously, why? )

O_<

...did you manage to sneak Superman into this, or did I just make that up?

This is very impressive (and fun). I'll have to reread it when I have more time.

Oh, hey, you noticed. ^_^

I sort of snuck a lot of things into this (and this is after I carefully pruned out things-that-don't-really-go-anywhere-timeline-wise), because it's so much more fun that way.

(Also, I incorporated the movie into one of my multiversecanons before SG-1 started contradicting it six ways from Sunday, so I spent some time working out justifications for that.)

I realized there was no particular reason why twelve years' worth of Arthurian theorizing couldn't be dusted off and given a Stargate spin. ^_^

Yup. (Oddly enough, while I've put nods at dS in three or four of my stories, this seems to be the first time anyone's ever noticed; I'm not quite sure whether that's a good thing or not.)

And seriously, the grandparents who raised him themselves being the grandchildren of extraterrestrials would explain so much, both by nurture and by postulated recessive traits.

Thank you!

(For what it's worth, most of the stuff labeled "Timeline A" is the result of years of hypothesizing.)

Drat. Right. I was remembering it out of order.

Fixed. Thank you.
