The Last Pocahontas.
I've been wanting to record that all through this episode but I didn't want to stop just to make this note only for that observation.
So the reason I did stop to make this note: weird, weird, weird, weird weird shit.
But not really that weird now that I think more about in the hour it has taken me to compose this note. There's a predictability to it. The predictability of how I have been recording in my blog that I have been watching these DVDs. I wrote this line at the very last, just before I posted this note. All the other content beyond this line, this line of sentences with no linebreaks, was written before I composed this line of text. It's really not that weird at all. It is par for the course, Bird Dog, because Hollywood is full of George-Walker-Bush-homosexuals who were never ever once in their poseur lives capable of piloting a jet aircraft despite how they strutted around in their poseur leather jackets and their poseur aviator sunglasses.
Also, I noted earlier here in my world-wide public blog that long ago I stopped maintaining a private journal. That wasn't entirely accurate. My email store is itself a journal and that is information that is password protected and only I know the password and I have made no agreements that any person other than myself is authorized to disclose information I create for my private journal. So what I started thinking, in the recent hour or so, is that I am going to try to stop maintaining the small amount of notes I record to myself in email. I am going to try to force myself to record here in my public blog any sort of observation I would have recorded in my private email journal. I don't record that much in it but I am going to stop doing that. The reason is because of the notion I have described about my so-called time-traveler effect. My intention is to time-travel all my journals with me into the past and when I do make that time-travel journey I will take my email store with me. So the point of this is that I want to be clear in terms of public access the information that I take with me as a time-traveler. As it is now, there is hundreds and hundreds of megabytes of worthless notes in my journals that I intend to take back with me.
As I watch a few of those DVD "Stargate: Atlantis" episodes I am thinking again a lot about the notion of the time-traveler effect variables I have defined as a notion.

It's a weapon—
MCKAY
(into radio)
It is much, much more than a weapon. We think we've stumbled across the Ancients' last great discovery. It was too late to win the war for them, but if I can finish the work they started—

WEIR
(into radio)
What is it?
INT—PUDDLE JUMPER
MCKAY
It is the ultimate power source. Something that would make zero-point modules seem like alkaline batteries in comparison.

INT—WEIR'S OFFICE
[Col. Caldwell has arrived.]
MCKAY
It was called Project Arcturus, and from what we can tell, its ultimate goal was to render ZPMs obsolete.
WEIR
How?
[He uses the large displays to illustrate.]
MCKAY
A zero-point module is an artificially created region of subspace-time. It's kind of like a miniature universe in a bottle.
ZELENKA
It extracts vacuum energy from this artificial region of subspace-time until it reaches maximum entropy.
CALDWELL
So what's different about this thing?
ZELENKA
Project Arcturus was attempting to extract vacuum energy from our own space-time, making it potentially as powerful as the scope of the universe itself.
CALDWELL
This strikes me as something the Ancients would've tried first, even before ZPMs.
MCKAY
And they may have, but extracting zero-point energy from our own universe is…well, it's definitely trickier.
WEIR
Explain "trickier."
ZELENKA
Well, because we actually have to live in our own universe, it presents a whole range of problems.

SHEPPARD
I've seen this before, Rodney. Pilots who wouldn't eject when something went wrong trying to fix their planes right until it hit the ground.
MCKAY
(coming to a realization)
Okay, we need to leave. I've waited too long. The weapon can't discharge enough power to avoid a catastrophic overload. This whole planet is going to go up.
[He grabs his laptop and goes to the ladder.]
MCKAY
Not that your speech wasn't working.

ZELENKA
I've finished going over the accident data. I think I know why the Ancients abandoned this technology.
INT—ATLANTIS CONTROL ROOM
[The Stargate is active.]
WEIR
(into radio)
Colonel Sheppard, this is Atlantis.
[The scene shifts between the control room and the Dorandan lab as Zelenka, Weir, Sheppard, and McKay speak via radio.]
SHEPPARD
Go ahead.
WEIR
Is Dr. McKay with you?
MCKAY
Of course I am, but we're a little busy getting ready to run a test here.
WEIR
Actually I would like you to delay the test firing.
SHEPPARD
Why?
WEIR
We have reason to believe that the weapon's power source—it may not be controllable at any power level.
MCKAY
Radek?
ZELENKA
Rodney.
MCKAY
Okay, we have been over this. I am doing this manually, at half power. It's a cakewalk.
ZELENKA
It don't think it matters how much cake you walk on. I've been doing calculations of my own, and I believe the very act of trying to contain vacuum energy from our own space-time creates an environment where the laws of physics cease to apply.
MCKAY
What are you on about?
ZELENKA
As power output increases, new and exotic particles are continuously created and destroyed inside the containment chamber, interacting with each other, and with the field itself. Eventually, particles are created that cannot be predicted in this space-time. And they breach the containment field as hard radiation.
MCKAY
And as long as I'm monitoring the energy output manually, I can stop that before it happens.
ZELENKA
(intensely)
You cannot predict something that is inherently unpredictable.
SHEPPARD
Rodney?
MCKAY
I know what I'm doing.
ZELENKA
Rodney, I am trying to tell you as a friend, I have serious doubts.
MCKAY
Well, you're wrong. Sorry, but there it is. And to bring this up now when I'm about to do this smacks of nothing but professional jealousy.
ZELENKA
(shouting in frustration)
Fine. Kill yourself, just like the Ancients did!
SHEPPARD
Whoa, whoa, whoa. What do you mean by that?
ZELENKA
I believe if the overload is allowed to continue, the weapon acts as a sort of release valve to prevent catastrophic containment failure. The Ancients barely managed to shut it down, and they lost their lives in the process.
WEIR
What we're suggesting is that the Wraith didn't kill everyone on that planet. It was the weapon itself.
SHEPPARD
That would explain why this place is the only thing left standing.
MCKAY
Congratulations, you've solved the mystery of how the Ancients screwed up ten thousand years ago. It doesn't mean that I will do the same. Look, I don't know how else to say this, but none of you are capable of understanding this on the same level that I do. And Zelenka, that includes you.

SHEPPARD
What's that?
MCKAY
An energy surge. It's fine. I can regulate it.
[His display shows temperatures moving into the red area.]
SHEPPARD
I thought you said you could contain—
MCKAY
The temperature inside the containment field is well within acceptable parameters. I'm staying ahead of it.
[The display shows the temperatures continuing to rise.]
MCKAY
(becoming concerned)
The levels are rising in the chamber.
[Turning to Sheppard.]
MCKAY
Re-route power from the secondary systems to the containment field.
SHEPPARD
I'm thinking we need to abort.
MCKAY
I can compensate. Just give me a minute.
SHEPPARD
It's overloading. Just like last time.
MCKAY
There is no logical reason this shouldn't be working!

The Belkans possess a particular disease-resistant strain of flax seed, which would double the yield of our crops on the mainland. In exchange, I intend to offer Athosian manpower to aid in their harvest. Still interested?

Sometimes you feel the need to go somewhere else.

[Teyla and Ronon negotiate with the Belkans.]
TEYLA
The manpower that you are demanding is outrageous. You would turn my people into nothing more than indentured slaves to serve your farms.
HENDON
It would seem that you have nothing else of value to trade but your people.
[A man enters with a tray of drinks.]
TEYLA
Mattas… You know full well my offer is fair.
MATTAS
I'm sorry, Teyla. If you had something of more value to offer… Technology, weapons…
TEYLA
You've heard my terms.
HENDON
Hmm. Then our business is done here.
[Ronon angrily stabs the wooden table with a knife.]
RONON
She said her offer is fair.
[They stand and face each other across the table.]
HENDON
I say it isn't.
RONON
Well, I say it is.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_County,_Washington
Lincoln County, Washington
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lincoln County is a county located in the U.S. state of Washington.
Economy
The county is completely dependent on agriculture, primarily wheat farming. Lincoln County is generally considered the second-largest producer of wheat in the United States (following Whitman County, Washington), sometimes producing 25 million bushels (680,000 t) a year. Only about 500,000 of 900,000 acres (2,000 of 3,600 km2 (1,390 sq mi)) of farmland in the county are planted in any given year due to the practice of typically harvesting one crop every two years, a necessity in a region with only 12 inches (300 mm) of precipitation annually.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_EA-6B_Prowler
Northrop Grumman EA-6B Prowler
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Northrop Grumman (formerly Grumman) EA-6B Prowler is a twin-engine, mid-wing electronic warfare aircraft modified from the basic A-6 Intruder airframe. The EA-6B has been in service with the U.S. Armed Forces from 1971 through the present, during which it has carried out numerous missions for jamming enemy radar systems, and in gathering radio intelligence on those and other enemy air defense systems. In addition, the EA-6B is capable of carrying and firing anti-radiation missiles (ARM), such as the HARM missile. The aircrew of the EA-6B consists of one pilot and three Electronic Countermeasures Officers, though it is not uncommon for only 2 ECMOs to be used on missions.
Design
Designed for carrier-based and advanced base operations, the EA-6B is a fully integrated electronic warfare system combining long-range, all-weather capabilities with advanced electronic countermeasures. A forward equipment bay and pod-shaped fairing on the vertical fin house the additional avionics equipment. It is now the primary electronic warfare aircraft for the U.S Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, and U.S. Air Force. The primary mission of the EA-6B is to support ground-attack strikes by disrupting enemy electromagnetic activity. As a secondary mission it can also gather tactical electronic intelligence within a combat zone, and another secondary mission is attacking enemy radar sites with anti-radiation missiles.
The Prowler has a crew of four, a pilot and three Electronic Countermeasures Officers
