Cross-posted to star-trek.tos and stargate with follow-up set to
star-trek.tos

During Lock-down, I've been re-watching the Stargate:SG1 box set. Today
I was watching one of the Series 9 episodes and the team had to get from
one deck to another deck on one of the Earth space ships ... and the
elevators were out-of-order, so one of them said they'd have to use the
"Jefferies Tubes".

Weren't they a Star Trek invention?? Named after one of the Stage crew
or some such, I think!

So was this a bit of a nod from the Stargate writers to the Star Trek
writers??

Probably. There are many such "Easter Eggs" in lots of shows and movies.

Another example are the ET aliens that briefly appear in the Senate
scene of one of the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy movies, which was sort of
a return for carvings of R2-D2 appearing in one of the Indiana Jones
movies.
