"You have plenty of courage, I am sure," answered Oz. "All you need is confidence in yourself. There is no living thing that is not afraid when it faces danger. The true courage is in facing danger when you are afraid, and that kind of courage you have in plenty."
― L. Frank Baum, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz


This is courage. )

Sheppard: I'm not sure if Colonel Sumner's parents are still alive. Um, I'm not sure he even has a family back there -- not all of us do. But if he does have a family, they should know that he died with honor and courage in the performance of his duty. He carried the burden of a leader, and he carried it well. I didn't get the chance to know him well, but I know this: considering the type of man he was, and what we're up against, well, I wish he was still here.

Translation: We're fucked. We're fucked without Sumner. We're fucked without Earth. We're fucked without the Milky Way and everything you've got to throw at these bugs. Not even the Ancients could beat 'em. But we'll stand our ground anyway. They won't get through us to you.

Oh, and Dad? Dave? Fuck you.

I didn't run away from you; I ran to this, the most distant sky. And if I crash and burn, so be it. You never understood it and you could never stop it: I was born to fly.

My apologies for going MIA. November handed me lemons; I've been trying to make lemon chicken.

Zelenka: I've been tracking their progress. The Wraith ships apparently go in and out of hyperspace periodically -- either because their hyperspace technology is limited...

Sheppard: ...or they're stopping to feed along the way.



Meta ahead. )

Here's a bit of interesting trivia that plays out -- if you're watching carefully -- throughout the series: Pegasus natives don't shake hands.


It's just one passing moment, but John figures it out fast.


Yeah, that was awkward. )

To all our fannish friends on the East Coast, stay safe during "Sandy"! And to folks coming home from Squee Weekend, safe travels.

Hi, Grandma and Grandpa!

I hope you're doing well. I love my new post. (Space vampires. Nuclear Amish. Ticks the size of a Chihuahua. Jurassic Park for realz. Did I mention the space vampires?) My new CO is cool. (Air Force. Batshit crazy. Flies with his mind. Did I mention Air Force?) The food is good. (No Big Macs. Purple tubers. Near-deer. Tava beans. Did I mention no Big Macs?) The people are great. (If I have to haul one more wandering scientist back to the green zone, I'm gonna fuck somebody up. And no more prime/not prime.) I'm having a wonderful time and look forward to the future. (WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!)

Love you!

Aiden
