Fandom recursion, and a rec

[lizvogel]

penknife's charming little SGA ficlet "Reality Show" (which you should go read, now) got me to thinking not just that Sheppard & Carter's worldviews were, yes, informed by Star Trek, but how.

What Sheppard took away from Star Trek: If you're friendly, well-meaning, and have a nice smile, the universe will take you at your intentions, and not look too harshly at your results.

What Carter took away from Star Trek: There is no such thing as a technological impossibility, only technology that we haven't quite figured out yet.

Thoughts? Other characters?
