Icon or episode, though the answer is no to both...I've not seen any Boston Legal

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

...for that matter, how does a lawyer end up in the Coast Guard? That seems like an odd mix.

[alan_shore]

Gosh, I'd love to tell you, but I'm afraid that information is classified.

ooc: Here you are! And there are plenty more ridiculous costumes where that came from.

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

*rueful smile* Yeah, guess I deserved that. Never mind then.


ooc: ahhhh! ok that's just...yikes. *covers Daniel's eyes*

[alan_shore]

*sighs* We--that is, my friend Denny and I--originally intended to join the National Guard, but were thwarted by their ill-considered and discriminatory recruitment practices.

ooc: Ahahahaha! I guess I'll spare you from the scarier pictures.

For now.

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

Discriminatory? Not healthy enough or something?


ooc: Yeah, something I thought I'd never seen Spader wear. :) I have to ask...why? Why all the costumes? Were they all in one episode?

[alan_shore]

Now why would you immediately leap to that conclusion.


ooc: Well, a lot of them were for Halloween (the show ran for five years--that's a lot of Halloween eps), and some of the others had to do with Alan's flair for the dramatic/need for attention/desire to cause trouble.

But yes, one does get the sense that the writers just like dressing Spader (and Shatner) in absurd attire.

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

...oh no! No, I didn't mean...I mean...*now he's embarassed*

I mean, I work with the military a lot and that was the only thing I could think of that they would be sticklers about.

ooc: lol, well writers got to have some fun.

[alan_shore]

*comes perilously close to smiling before recovering his sense of righteous indignation* We were deemed too old to enlist.

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

What? You're kidding? How old is too...no wait *stops himself* I could get into all kinds of trouble with that question too.
I've got to start listening when I talk...

[alan_shore]

I'm 46; as a matter of policy, anyone over the age of 35 is thanked a half-dozen times and shown the door.

*surreptitiously looks Daniel up and down* How old are you?

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...34. Guess I have only one more year. *chuckles*

[alan_shore]

Just don't tell them I sent you.

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

Yeah...don't think I'd want to join the military. I get enough of that just being a...er....consultant.

[alan_shore]

*raises an eyebrow* Quite. What branch did you say you were affiliated with?

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

I didn't say....sort of a mix really, usually it's the Air Force.

[alan_shore]

What's the Air Force doing with an expert in dead languages? Or rather, what are you doing with them?

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

*uh oh, realizes he probably said too much*

Er...well...*adjusting his glasses, trying to think of a good answer*....just translation really...old artefacts, things like that.

[alan_shore]

Dr. Jackson, I'm mindful of the sensitive nature of your work, and I certainly wouldn't presume to expect complete and total honesty from a man I've only just met, but please--please don't insult my intelligence.

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

*nods* I see...you'd rather I just said "no comment" and got it over with? Yes?

[ooc: still wanting to do that storyline with them? :) probably would be slow RPing for awhile if we did do it, but that seems to work out well for this here]

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

OOC: Hypothetically :) how do you think Alan would react if he found out about the Stargate program?

ooc

[alan_shore]

Hoo boy. I think initially he'd attempt to rationalize it away--he'd assume Daniel was joking, and when it became clear Daniel was serious, Alan'd probably wonder whether he wasn't a slightly deranged conspiracy theorist/paranoid schizophrenic (which would by no means diminish his affection for Daniel).

If he were presented with evidence of the program's existence (and/or extraterrestrial life?)...hahahahaha, he'd probably get all outraged at the government for hiding it from the public and start asking annoying logistical questions (how is this funded? who directs it? etc.). And if he didn't like the answers he'd probably want to take some sort of legal action.

In other words, he would CAUSE A WHOLE LOT OF TROUBLE.

Re: ooc

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

lol...Oooo, mun is tempted to try for a crossover verse like that...though Daniel wouldn't so willingly give up evidence like that, he'd be more trying to keep it under wraps.
And if the SGC found out, oh boy...Alan would probably be in the brig till they figured out what to do with him....which might involve dumping him on a planet far far away if they got really desperate.

ooc

[alan_shore]

First of all, I'd totally be up for that. (Despite knowing next to nothing about the Stargate 'verse.)

Second of all, if Daniel waited until he and Alan were friends (or at least on their way to becoming friends) and then swore him to secrecy before telling him, Alan would probably not attempt to, you know, tell the whole world about the Stargate program. (Although he would still doubt Daniel's mental health.)

And finally...

which might involve dumping him on a planet far far away if they got really desperate.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh, he would be so profoundly miserable.

Re: ooc

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmm....now you've got the plot bunnies hopping around....and that would probably work out because I know nothing about Boston Legal other than it's about lawyers and all I know about lawyers is from Law and Order.

The good thing about sci-fi is that if you want a story to go a certain way, there's a million and one ways to do it. (i.e. bringing a character back from the dead)
So another way to do it would be for Alan to accidentally just end up in Stargate Command or in a situation with aliens on earth or something...Ohhh there's also the spaceship Daedalus that is sometimes in orbit around the planet that the SGC owns now. And they do have the ability to beam one person from one place to another, just like on Star Trek.

Ideas:
1. Become friends, sworn to secrecy
2. Come across sgc team dealing with an alien threat, which could be any number of things suspicious
3. Accidentally ends up in SGC during some sort of emergency so they can't send him back right away

Thoughts? Other ideas? Stargate Command is in Colorado btw, officially the Norad project (which I think really exists) and it's hidden like 10 floors underground under that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stargate_Command#Stargate_Command

Hehe, poor Alan.

Re: ooc

[stargatejackson.livejournal.com]

Nutter idea...and why didn't I think of this before? :) What if they get mistaken for each other at their respective places of work?

i.e.
Daniel is at the courthouse to pay a traffic ticket or something minor, the SGC sends a car to pick him up quick for some emergency, and the soldiers accidentally pick up Alan instead. Alan tries to go along with it till he gets caught, which would probably be whenever Daniel shows up.
Also vice versa, Daniel could get caught up in the lawyer part of it too even if he doesn't want to. He's good at getting into trouble even though he's protesting against it.

The best way to run that story would be if one part was running on one journal and the other was running on the other. I'd be everyone at the SGC and you'd have to be posting as everyone out of Boston Legal.

So that's option #4 to the list. :)
