So some time ago, I downloaded something purporting to be a font for the Ancient system of writing. I'm afraid I've forgotten whence.

And then, looking at the picture of the Ancient writing on Wikipedia's page for the Ancients (provenance uncertain), I notice that it believes that this is "x" and that this is "q," which is exactly backwards from ( Read more... )

Does anyone know whether the names were chosen solely with respect to their mythological bearers, whether they are a nod to Macross, or whether both instances are a reference to something disgustingly famous that I'm just not getting? Because both names in succession seem a little too apt to be pure coincidence, but I haven't located a common ( Read more... )

Hello everyone! I'm hoping you can help me with a bit of canon.

Was the Prometheus built and/or in use before season one of SGA/season eight of SG1? If not, which ship was it? I basically need a ship that was of the same type that would have been in use shortly before the Atlantis expedition left, but I can't remember when those ships were first ( Read more... )

However, it didn't seem to me to be that first rescue mission with Everett as the leader, rather it appeared to be one of the following travels with Caldwell in command. Thus, Daniel's arrival (if he had managed to go) wouldn't have been "The Siege III." Of ( Read more... )

I'm working on a fic at the moment and I have a few questions on Area 51 and Rodney's involvment there

( Questions (spoilers for SGA The Return Part 1) )

I have no ear for accents. I do well to tell the difference between British and American ones, but anything more complicated than that and I go all to pieces ( Read more... )

So, somewhere once upon a time, I ran across a post about the uniforms the SGA folks wear and what you might find in the pockets of a tac vest and so on. And now I can't find it. Because I was wanting to know the identity of the tac vests they wear to get some idea of bullet-stopping ability ( Read more... )

I don't know if anyone could help with this, but any input or even if you could point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it ( Read more... )
