Reunions Are a Bitch: Difference between revisions

'''This work contains examples of:'''

* [[Alternate Universe Fic]]: The big differences between the two universes are solved by Vala never showing up in [[Stargate SG 1]]'s season 9 (thus, no Ori), Gerak and his supporters attacking Earth, an expanded Daedalus-class production, the Colonials meeting the Prometheus (thus sending all the Cylons' plans out of whack), and {{spoiler|[[Battlestar Galactica]] not taking place 150,000 years in Earth's past}}. Also, The Asgard choose to not blow themselves to kingdom come, but rather upload their minds into several giant supercomputers so that they can unravel and rebuild their own genetic structure, a process that will take centuries.

* [[Apocalypse How]]: The Colonials ''really'' like to use nuclear weapons, but still wet themselves at the thought of the Tau'ri using theirs.

* [[Armchair Military]]: The IOA does is this.

* [[Doorstopper]]: The chapters are simply massive in length, and some people still complain that they don't touch on all the multitude of plot threads.

** The author has recently stated that he has finished the first book of the series, and it tops out at 23 chapters and over ''three hundred thousand words.''

** [[Fridge Brilliance|Which makes sense.]] The Earth defense fleet was made up of mostly American and Russian built ships since those nations knew about the Star Gate first, and people are looking for a scapegoat.

{{quote|"People hate the United States on principal. You're just the most visible member of the armed forces. You knew you would get this kind of thing when you took the job. It's not like being on SG1 anymore."|Daniel Jackson (to Gen. O'Neil)}}

* [[Knight Templar]]: A lot of the Colonials could qualify as this, or at least the guys in charge. Also, to no one's surprise, Admiral Helena Cain.

* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]

* [[Misguided Missile]]: In Chapter 5, a colonial nuclear missile is headed to Virginia, however it gets damaged and detonates over Memphis.

* [[Moral Dissonance]]: The Colonials' idea of liberation [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=206 is a little bit different] from that of most people. In particular, they seem to think that a great way to liberate the population of Earth is by launching hundreds of large nukes at its surface. And when that doesn't work very well, ''do it again.''

* [[Normal Fish in A Tiny Pond]]: Influenza. While the strain that was released into the Colonies isn't that bad on Earth, the Colonials have no immunity to it. As of chapter 23, Picon (in addition to the bombardment of the base's wreckage) and Saggitaron have both been devastated by what the colonies call "the Picon Plague."

** The Tau'ri, actually, to the Colonials. However, countering the typical effects of this trope is the fact that Earth has so little of their high tech assets, and little capability to make more of it quickly. For a little while, at least.

* [[Ramming Always Works]]: A battlestar rams the incomplete ''Apollo'', after said ship had already taken dozens of nuclear detonations to its incomplete shielding and hull, destroying it. The ''Dionysus'' rams a Wraith cruiser and destroys it in Chapter Fourteen.

* [[Reality Ensues]]
