Quick SGA question

Totally first season --

I'm confused about the personal items rule. I thought it was 1 personal item only, but John has a copy of War and Peace, the tape of the football game, and I'm assuming the popcorn. So, I'm confused.

Yeah, they don't seem to be very consistent with that. I always assumed that they were given a certian amount of either space and/or weight instead.

I've seen a couple of stories run with that idea. It seems kind of silly to just allow 1 personal item. I know they didn't know what they were getting into, but with the whole thing being a possible one way trip you think they would have allowed them a bit more. Not a lot more, but more than just one thing.

Yeah - cause it isn't like they are going on Survivor. And John has the poster of Johnny Cash and just... it has to be more than one item.

I forgot about the Johnny Cash poster. A weight limit seems to be the most logical limit than a size limit.

Did Weir say something about War and Peace being John's one personal item or one of his personal items? I'll have to go back and watch. darn.

I'm handwaving so much I might start flying.

Seriously, I love SGA. They are cute and snarky and geeky and annoying (honestly, at some point they've all been annoying) and hot.
