HAH! Oh that is TERRIFYING and amusing as all get out. š
Not it, but I am happy to spread the notion out there!
I typed this all out somewhere before but I canāt remember where but can you imagine the Avengers trying to read Jack in? with Sam, Tealāc and Daniel there for shits and giggles?
Cap: well, I died and came back to life
Daniel looks up at the ceiling
Tony: I am incredibly smart and could probably blow up the Sun
Sam blushes
Thor: Iām actually not a god, Iām an alien
Tealāc suddenly develops an intense cough
Tony: why do I get the feeling youāre not too impressed with all this?
Jack: yeah, well, you see, itās like thisā¦
HAAAH! ::APPLAUDS::
*blinks* Fuck you both, I already had enough plot bunnies. *adds to things that sound like a lot of fun to play with*
So then, what is your opinion on the Actor for Elliot saying that Elliot used to be apart of a Star Gate team from the Stargate: SG1 series?
I love it. LOVE IT. It fixes literally the only flaw that I actually cared about in the show.Ā
The thing that made my eye twitch a little bit in the first couple of seasons of Leverage was the hacking – theĀ āI know heās a Super Genius, but the hardware for what heās doing with that flip phone literally cannot do what theyāre doingā.Ā
But if itās in the Stargate universe, then of course Ā some of that advanced tech has slipped unnoticed into the private sector. Boom! Suspension of disbelief now fully back in play.Ā
(SG:1 was my main obsession for years – including a decade of playing in and running a Stargate online game (OCs). It was before Iād gotten back into any kind of online fandom, mind you, so I didnāt do fic, but nevertheless! My screen-correct gate team jacket – the style Danielās wearing in the top gif – is still my favourite piece of cosplay ever.)Ā
It also means that Hardison, knowingly or unknowingly, has forced Eliot to sit through episodes of Wormhole X-Treme.Ā
And that is everything to me.Ā
Both. So very both. So Hardison absolutely did it accidentally to complain about the special effects/plot implausibility at some point. And then after the Gone Fishinā Job and probably after the trio gets together, he FINALLY figures it out.
Probably tries hacking the Mountain, too, now that I think about it. Given Hardison Iām not even placing odds either way.
Anyway picture it: itās been a year or two since Alec last inflicted Wormhole X-Treme on Eliot, who thought he was safe from That Goddamn Show. And then one TV night becomes one marathon session of That Goddamn Show and literally the only saving grace for his nerves is that Alecās poker face is not, and his shit-eating grin keeps sneaking out.
Usually, Eliot thinks, when heās picturing Eliot doing the shit on the show.
Iām now convinced Sam Carter called up Eliot more than once and said āSpencer, could you please convince your boyfriend to stop trying to hack us? If he keeps this up itās either we recruit him or jail and I donāt want to deal with your girlfriend and Vala getting into shit. Teal’c says hi, by the way.ā
When the show Stargate SG1 ended, the Stargate was dismantled and thrown away in a dumpster on the lot. John Rogers, creator/writer/director/producer of Leverage, was shocked and dismayed to discover its final resting place. Not one to let such travesties pass, he rescued the Stargate pieces from the dumpster and kept them. Later, in an episode of Leverage, the season 4 finale, The Last Dam Job, he made use of the pieces, by sticking them up on several walls as pieces of art in a vault of someoneās prized possessions.
The Stargate lives on and is well loved.
Someone please stop me from trying to fold Eliot into Star somehow. @dogmatix doesnāt have internet and sheās like that last 10% of my self control that keeps me from making REALLY dumb writing attempts.
(the rest of the time sheās cackling and egging me on. Though to be fair itās not like I do any differently)
I was thinkingā¦. I canāt find the actual quote for the life of me, but doesnāt Eliot basically state that America abandoned him in some hell prison and thatās why he left the military?Ā
So, whatās to say that hell prison was on Earth? He either escaped, got back to the gate and then left the program (Iām thinking he was the only member of his team that made it out), or he didnāt have his teams GDO so he had to hop gates until he could get to an allied world, THEN he left the program.
A point of recontact with the program could be him spotting the above in that vault there and having Parker snatch what are obviously gate address panels and fedexing them to the mountain.
On the subject of his teamā¦ Sophie knows about the gate. She never left Earth, but she totally snuck her way into the mountain as, like, one of the psychologists assigned to the gate teams? IDK, that seems like the best place for her to have gotten in, since I donāt think she could have kept up a scientific or anthro/archeo role for more than a few days without having her cover blownā¦
Iām sure Hardison has found a fewĀ āinterestingā files over the years, but even he hasnāt tried to mess with the terrifying levels of encryption on
Cheyenne
Mountain. So he knows the gov is Up To Something there, but isnāt quite willing to risk being shoved in a windowless box for the rest of his life to find out what. Yet.
Parker totally knows about the gate and aliens. No one knows how, or when she found out, but she knows. (Parker is possibly the only survivor of a ship that crashed somewhere in the Midwest. She was found at an assumed age of four-ish and shuffled into the foster care system when no family could be located.)
Nateā¦ Well, he knows kind of obliquely that there is something odd going on in Colorado, but not the same way the others do. Archaeologists and anthropologists often have contact with things of great rarity and value, things that require insuring. He knew people, and when several of them took jobs in Colorado Springs out of the blue and pretty much fell off the academic map, he noticed. He doesnāt know why they did, not yet, but he made a mental note.
On the subject of Star thoughā¦ Omg, Clones would ADORE Eliot. Eliot is like the most Mandalorian person on Earth. I dearly want to see the Leverage team meeting Clones nowā¦Ā
This is all AWESOME and I really hope someone runs with the plunnie because daaaaaamn, this sounds fascinating.
As for Star, I might admit to occasionally flirting with the notion of a side crossover for shits and giggles. No serious clone presence yet, though. ^_^;;
Remember that awesome post where we all saw the Stargate plates up on the walls behind Victor Dubenich? And how excited we all were that the crew of Leverage were such massive Stargate geeks?
I was listening to the commentary for The Last Dam Job yesterday, and apparently, during the team break,Ā John Rogers et al were actually going to have Eliot in the uniform going through the gate saying, āOkay, just one last time,ā and the only reason this didnāt happen was because the Stargate set got dismantled.Ā
So, this means that in Rogers et alās headcanon:
a) Stargate and Leverage take place in the same universe, and
b) Eliot has been through the gate before! Eliot has seen many things that not even Hardison has seen! Eliot is probably friendly with Teal’c, and has definitely said āDammit, Jackson!ā more than once!
