Well, considering that the show itself is rife with cultural in-jokes, and we *know* both John and Rodney are gigantic geeks ... it's really impossible to write fic that doesn't throw cultural references around. And it wouldn't be true to the show *not* to. Part of what gives Stargate its unique feeling, I think, is the idea that these are just a bunch of your basic modern-day dorks out saving the galaxy, and you can't really get away from the fact that they're going to be talking about TV shows and comics and such. Hence this thread...

I think your stories (and mine) are probably lighter on the cultural references than some, because of the action-adventure nature of what we write; there's just much less time for bantering about comics when they're also running from the Wraith. *g*
