I love happy team fic! I like how you brought prior events and concerns of the series into this, from previous descriptions it sounded like it would be more of a straightforward discussion, exclusively about the film (this is much better). It feels very real how they get distracted by those tangents -- are you entirely serious? They don't know how the hyperdrive works? How can you fix something if you don't know how it works?

Unless Sam is like engineering and IT personnel: "Uh, maybe this will fix it? What does this do? What if I change this variable? Huzzah!"

Frankly, I prefer to know how my programs and processes are running, but ultimately if I can't... as long as it works, I don't care. =P

Yay, I finally got to read the story! I would have read it earlier, but there were textbooks to be read and class competitors to be conquered -- and the story is still here. Yay!

I'm glad I got to see Firefly before the film was released because I was left with the weight of realising WASH IS -- BOOK, NO!-- DEAD when the lights came up. No

2IC = 2nd in Command.

I think, in this case, Sam is very much like us Engineers and IT gurus :) Theoretically speaking, FTL is impossible, and at this stage they still haven't made any great advances in theory (apart from wormhole theory, which may or may not be related to FTL), so I think it is reasonable to assume she isn't 100% sure how it works at this stage of the series.

Glad you liked it.

Great fic! Love all the team interaction, Teal'c love of sci-fi, Daniel's reluctance, Jack's 'bathroom breaks'. And Sam being a closet fangirl. That's brilliant.

Thanks! What can I say - I identify with Sam (well, not the 'closet' bit )

Oh, this was so cute (and I mean that in the nicest teamy goodness way).

I haven't seen "Serenity" yet (bad fan), but I watched the series.

I didn't pick up on the Browncoat twist until Daniel mentioned it. I guess I was kind of floating off mentally..."the fandom calls itself 'browncoats'?" that makes sense." LOL.

The character voices flowed well; it was nice to see them on downtime. Nice job!

Thanks. I've always like SG-1 downtime fics, so I was eager to try and write one :)

This was mostly an exercise in trying to nail the character voices, so I'm glad you think it worked.

Oh - go see Serenity. It's very good, especially if you liked the series.

Heh heh heh. That wad cute. And I'm sur Firefly/Serenity reminds him on Star Wars too. I'm sensing a theme with Teal'c's choices ;)

[sg_fignewton]

Hee hee! Very cute. I know nothing about it, but I'm always pleased when Teal'c finds something he enjoys. :)

“Sooo,” Jack drew out the word, looking incredulous “let me get this straight. We’ve travelled half way across the galaxy in a ship that theoretically doesn’t work.”

Ha ha ha! That's my Jack. And Sam, so annoyed that she can't explain it!

Nicely done.

Glad you liked it :)

(Firefly is very good, btw. Short canon, unfortunately, but very good)
