I'm so glad! :-)

My favorite part is the (accidental) Goldie Hawn bit. I picked out Laugh-In from a chart of 1969 prime time shows and only then realized the Stargate connection! ;-)

Ha! I didn't get the connection - glad you spelled it out.

I like your list.

I hate feeling stupid--what is the Goldie Hawn bit? The fact that she and Kurt Russell (the "other" O'Neill) have a relationship? Please enlighten me--thanks!

And a good 5 things, thanks, though I can't quite see Jack starting them on pot when they need to keep their wits about them if they are ever to get back to their own time. Still, it's amusing.

Yes, it's totally a reference to Kurt Russell. I've done this sort of thing in other Five Thingses: Jack thinking Alan Shore (James Spader) on Boston Legal was cute and Daniel not getting that at all; Jack liking Teri Hatcher on Desperate Housewives (who was on MacGyver and also dated RDA), etc.

Oh, they only smoked pot the one time. Sam had only done it once before, and thrown up, but that could have been the cheap wine. This time went much more smoothly for her. I'll assume they weren't toking behind Jack's back after that!

Thanks for commenting!

I'd have gotten the Teri Hatcher reference, as I'm a big fan of RDA and Jack and MacGyver, enough to know she was on the show and RDA used to date her.

But thanks for making this clear to me--and I even guessed it, I just wasn't at all sure.

I loved the song reference, too. That was "my time" as I graduated from high school in 1969, so I felt for Jack when he said to Michael "Trust me, this is a great time" only to hear Michael had been drafted. A great time in some ways, terrible in others.

I still have the 45 of that song. :-) I was class of '72, and I think my class prety much escaped the draft. Or at least never made it overseas.

My class, and those before me, did not escape. We were a small school--my class, with 60 kids, was the largest ever (baby boomers). Two boys I'd known well, a year and two years older than I, were killed in Viet Nam. Others served and came back mentally harmed.

Still, that was also the moon shot era, a great accomplishment, so it was the best of times, the worst of times.
