LOLSpeak character development in Stargate Continuum

(I suppose I could put this behind an LJ cut because it might qualify as a spoiler, but honestly, you have to see Continuum for this to make even the remotest bit of sense.)

LOLSpeak character development in Stargate Continuum movie (minus the alternate reality detour):

LANDRY: Dial gate. Paperwork. Bai nao!

SAM: Mmm, Jack. Extractions... wow! Mmm, Jack. I can haz moon base?

JACK: Bored. Bored. Food! Moon base?

BA'AL: Tok'ra, do not want. I can haz Teal'c? I can haz Qetesh? Squeak! (Dies.)

VALA: Gun! Aw, no gun. Goa'uld, grr. Extraction, ew. Poor Ba'al's host. I can haz unconscious guy with nice arms? Bai nao!

CAM: U no can haz gun. First extraction... wow! Bored. Meh. Food!

TEAL'C: Jaffa kill Ba'al. Ba'al, do not want. Vala and Ba'al's host? I can haz video camera? Food.

DANIEL: Jack? Vala. Vala and Ba'al's host? I can haz video camera? Ba'al's last words? Food. Jack!

Hee!

Mind you, you're assuming universe #1 and universe #3 are the same universe... :P

Bwah! Good point.

I never fully understood the reasoning behind ECF. Isn't the fact person B is from an alternate universe to person A reason enough to discredit the idea that they're somehow reacting on a molecular level as their cells can't possibly be made up of the exact same matter due not only to a blanketed chaos theory, but their different life experiences?

Although I would have gotten a kick out of them trying to explain an anti-particle SG-1, hehe... *I'm not quite sure, but that might also limit your number of alternate universes too, I can't remember*

Yup, blanketed chaos theory in a quantum sense, because sci-fi writers MUST allow the transference of matter & energy from another reality without violating the 1st Law of Thermodynamics AND without an immediate BIG BANG.

As for different life experiences -- say if you're referring to memory engrams on the neural cortex instead of the more metaphysical argument regarding ensoulment -- I have no fraggin clue.

Plus, "entropic" and "failure" in the same phrase cancel each other out. It's a double negative. Should be just "entropic cascade".

Ooh, an anti-particle SG-1... may I snurch that idea for a story?

That's a really interesting point (I'm not touching ensoulment though :P), but I was thinking moreso of the difference in their atomic make up, however minute. Say Daniel A had waffles in the commissary for breakfast, but Daniel B in Egypt had say fava beans, When Daniel A goes through the gate to Universe B, they would not be made up of the exact same atomic material. They haven't breathed the same oxygen atoms, etc, and the list goes on. There is no way for two people from different realities portrayed as such in Point of View or Continuum to have their cellular matter consist of the exact same atoms. Their cells may contain the same if not similar information, but the atoms those cells are made of would not be the same by the very nature of their partitioned lives.

As for memory engrams, how do you quantify memory in terms of energy/matter? I wouldn't have a clue. :P

THANK YOU! *squishes*

It's yours!
