The one where Sheppard’s hair isn’t awesome. Whether he’s a badass pilot, a geeky mathematician, a wealthy businessman, or a model Air Force officer, his hair is always the same—wild, untamable, and inspiring great envy in everyone around him.
In many realities, McKay has attempted to scientifically reproduce the effect. He has never come close.
2
The one where Sam, if she has met Jack—and this is the case in 99.9999% of realities—isn’t in love with him. No matter her upbringing or her current position—including in the realities where she is President—there’s just something about Jack that draws her in. He’s handsome, fun, sarcastic, and a lot smarter than he pretends. In every reality she would marry him in a heartbeat.
In the realities where he is still married, this is problematic.
3
The one where Harry Maybourne doesn’t end up as king of some planet. In some realities it’s a rundown planet with a population of twelve; in others it’s an advanced civilization with comforts and technology that would put Earth to shame. Sometimes it's Earth itself. Somehow, he always manages to worm his way into being king.
4
The one where Harry Maybourne doesn’t meet a sticky end within a year or two of becoming king. Because there’s something about him that makes people want to stab him with whatever pointy object is handy, and sooner or later someone always gives in to the urge.
And the one that never will be…
The one where Torren John Emmagen lives past the age of twenty-three. He is always a good man and always leads a productive, but short, life. He dies from illness, in battle with the Wraith, in battle with the Replicators, in battle with the Genii, in freak accidents, in Atlantis, in a puddlejumper, on Earth, on Athos, in pain, in peace, alone, surrounded by those he loves.
Teyla, Sheppard, McKay, and Ronon have gone back in time again and again, trying to change Torren’s fate, and nothing has worked. They will never stop trying.
