Hmm. Have never seen that, but it might maybe do, if I read up on the details, although I'm kinda looking for ...
... well, John and Rodney and Ford are planning an escape by talking entirely in pop culture allusions in order to keep the guards from finding out. So, uh, preferably a strategy that takes only a few days to carry out, I guess.
Ah. Well, not Shawshank then, and I am terribly sorry to have possibly spoiled you. *coughs*
I'm totally blanking on escapes. They all take too long, I think, and the only other one that comes to mind is Shanghai Noon ("The sick prisoner routine still work in China? Because here it's been done to death.")
I haven't seen Shanghai Noon neither. I am clearly unlettered in movies. But spoil away! So if Aiden said "How's about Chon Wang and the one that still works in China?" do you think would you know to what he was referring? Because I was trying to find an example of the sick prisoner routine :)
You can't come up with anything for question 1 either, can you? I am very amused.
If Ford said that to me, I would probably get it, but I'm not sure if John and Rodney would. Although they might, and it's better than nothing. And definitely better than the actual Chon Wang method: peeing on silk to make it unbreakable and then bending bars with it.
The fact that I can't think of anything for question 1 doesn't necessarily mean that there aren't any examples; I've really only seen the latter half of season 2, and spent most of those episodes staring at Joe Flanigan.
Ah, but then I could have Rodney look confused and say "What, peeing on silk?" and John smacks him in the back of the head and says, "No, you doofus, like [some other reference I should be able to come up with and am blanking on]" and Teyla gets *more* and *more* confused.
You haven't seen S1?! S1 is brilliant. It's in syndication now - I watched 'Brotherhood' on FOX 5 yesterday afternoon, and I had forgotten just how good it was.

Rodney crosses his arms. "I am not urinating on your jacket, Major."
