This brilliant idea is the brainchild of ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ivorygates, and I am shamelessly stealing it for the next Alphabet Soup.
(Which needs a name. "Canon-implied Alphabet Soup" lacks a certain oomph. Any suggestions?)
Edit:green_grrl suggests "Off-screen missions." I like that one!
The premise is simple: many episodes of SG-1 reference a past or future mission. The most famous of these, I think, is the mission referenced in Emancipation to P3X-595 where Sam "drank that stuff that made you take off..." and the final frame of The Enemy Within, which ends with the team striding through the Stargate for their first mission together.
Other examples:
Establishing the base on Hanka, before Nirrti unleashed the plague in Singularity.
Missions to help the Enkarans, since Scorched Earth begins with the people settled in their new home.
The first mission to Juna, before Cronus showed up in Double Jeopardy.
Missions to establish peaceful relations with the Unas after The First Ones but before Beast Burden.
Followup to Beneath the Surface, getting the brainwashed victims moved to a safer, warmer planet.
Teal'c's adventures off-world during Solitudes, trying to find Sam and Jack.
All these popped into my brain after two or three minutes of glancing over a list of episodes. There must be many, many more, and they don't necessarily have to be SG-1 (how many times did Reynolds take his team to Thilana's planet?). So I would like to invite you all to comment here with your suggestions. The format of my examples above would be just fine. Include the name of the episode or an obvious plot line - "what happened to Sam and Jack and Teal'c while they were stuck off-world until they got the Stargate back up" is a good reference to Small Victories, but "that ep where Jack fires his P-90" won't be much help. ;) I'll go through the comments and collate them over the next several days and we'll see what we can come up with!
