QUOTE(KillerMarv @ Aug 19th 2007, 10:18 PM)  And IMO, there was never an episode of Stargate (SG-1 or Atlantis) that would fall into this category. There are a number of episodes that deal with false realities or altered perceptions, 'The Gamekeeper', 'Out of Mind', 'Into the Fire', 'Beneath the Surface', 'The Fifth man', 'Grace', 'New Order' and 'Avatar'. |

No... I mean the boring category, not the altered perception category.  |

QUOTE(KillerMarv @ Aug 19th 2007, 5:18 PM) I don't agree... Even if this episode was not great, it was certainly not monotonous. And IMO, there was never an episode of Stargate (SG-1 or Atlantis) that would fall into this category. And for the record, it's asleep, not insleep. I knew what you meant!As far as insleep or asleep....'A' means in latin 'without' or 'abscent' or 'none'....at least that is what I get out of it in medical terms. This being so, I wonder why we english say 'asleep' when we mean that the person is sleeping. . To me, 'asleep' means 'without sleep'.

This being so, I wonder why we english say 'asleep' when we mean that the person is sleeping. . To me, 'asleep' means 'without sleep'. That is quite interesting. It's like when you say asymmetrical opposite to symmetrical. And the Romanian form of the word is similar: "dormi" - "adormi". The origin of the a in front of sleep in English is in the 12th century. The original form was "on sleep"... In time, people talked faster and faster, and the "on" soon became a "uh", thus the form you know today: asleep. So, not weird... Now I have to know why we have the same weird non-sleeping form in Romanian.  EDIT: Ah, here it is... The original latin word was addormire, so the front part of of the word is not a- like it looks, is ad-, that means with... So, adormi means with sleep, which is quite correct.
