Mmm, Nordic; maybe he's got some Laplander genes in his background? I don't know why I'm wondering about this--I'm just curious what produced such a prettypretty face.

Boxed Set, Vol. II: "It's a Cookbook...A Cookbook!!"
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

I was just reading the Helo thread over at TWOP, and saw this from an interview with him:
Tahmoh's mother, Lulla Sierra Johns, is part of the Dene Nation and was born in a tent in Snag, a tiny community near the Alaska border where the coldest temperature on earth (-63 degrees C) was recorded.
So I wasn't wrong about the slightly Asiatic features; I was originally thinking Siberian, but decided on Central Asian, when I should have been thinking Native American!

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
I was trying to remember if I read this here or not, but it was on LJ.
Apparently, at Comic Con, someone stood up in the SGA panel and asked David Hewlett why he was so awesome.

I saw that on lj, too, and I feel like I must've missed something. That seemed to be connected to some post card thing. What was the deal?

slodwick organized a little thing where people sent postcards to Hewlett with the question, "David Hewlett, how are you so awesome?" Apparently it's a Martin Gero quote from some season 1 commentary.
But it's true! He's made of awesome!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Apparently, at Comic Con, someone stood up in the SGA panel and asked David Hewlett why he was so awesome.
Yeah, someone did. It didn't ping me as strange, though, since pretty much *every* question/comment at Comic Con tends to be along those lines. ("Hi, I first of all just wanted to say that I really love your show, and my question is, I just wanted to say that you're awesome! Um.")
I do remember three questions in a row that all began "My question is for David Hewlett, and you're going to hate me for this..." None of them were particularly hate-inspiring, however, just boring. One of them may have been the awesome line.
Oddly, the smartest TV panel I attended was the Jericho screening. Without a fanbase or anything to nitpick, all of the questions were relatively cogent versions of "Will this show be smart enough for me?" (And mostly related to Lost's disappointing S2.)

He is! Aw, that's very sweet - the postcard thing.

I've been offline at Comic Con for the past 4 days
Dude! I saw you there! You were leaving the convention center and I thought, "That looks exactly like photos I've seen of Jessica. But she lives in New York, what are the odds she flew out here?" The BSG panel ruled, but where the hell were our promos???? I was so bummed that there was nothing.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

What'd you think?

This was the second time I'd seen the pilot, and my feelings haven't really changed -- it's VERY well-made, and could turn into something great, but the characters didn't grab me.
The answers from the writers/creators were promising, though. (And both of the girls in the cast were outgeeking the guys by MILES, which was really fun. Enough to make me want to watch just for that.)
"That looks exactly like photos I've seen of Jessica. But she lives in New York, what are the odds she flew out here?"
Aw, man! I wasn't really expecting to bump into anyone -- in a crowd od 100,000+, what are the odds? -- but it would have been great to meet you! (Clearly, running into CaBil twice used up all of my random-connection-ma. Hi CaBil!)
