Stargate continues its run of good episodes. I am enjoying it quite a bit.
Unfortunately, in their most recent episode, they did an alternate reality storyline, and felt compelled to explain what an alternate reality is. At length.

CARTER: Recently physicists have speculated ... alternate reality ...
parallel universes ... everything that can happen does happen somewhere ... etc
DANIEL: Oh my god! So you're saying that I'm in a ... an ...
(air quotes) alternate reality, or whatever it is you called it?
CARTER: Well, quantum theory ... parallel universes ... etc
For fuck's sake. Star Trek was what, 35 years ago? There are probably people out there who haven't seen that episode where Spock has a beard, but I guarantee you they aren't watching Stargate. And everybody has done it since then. Seriously, guys, you can shorthand it at this point.
CARTER: You know that episode of Star Trek where Spock has a beard?
DANIEL: So this is an alternate universe?
CARTER: Yeah.
DANIEL: So why isn't everybody Evil?
Better.

Yeah, much better. Hell, in the first episode Carter mentions they MacGuyver'ed a dialing system together.
That would totally be snakes on plane.
Totally better, especially the "why isn't everyone evil" bit. And is RJA talking about the fairy tale where the guy beats the dragon/giant in a show of strength and wit, by squeezing a cheese instead of a stone? He also snaps a twig, instead of an iron bar, or something like that.
