I may possibly have been thinking of the show when I wrote that one...
Cassie saving the world by forcing the reveal of the Stargate was the first one I came up with. Originally I had her start a war (forcing her to make the bitter choice between some people dying now in a war she was sure Earth could win, and everyone dying later because no one knew), but then made the rest war-themed, and so she ended up with an "incident" instead. I'm imagining lots of posturing and ships in Earth's skies, but no shooting.
