nobody but nobody looks comfortable or natural playing baccarat any more, the way people don't look comfortable in tuxedoes

You are exceedingly harsh. Just as I lay my entire fate at the feet of Mr. Craig, I also hope that they've hired actors who can act like they're comfortable and natural in tuxedoes as well as playing baccarat.

It's a fair trade.

Tuxedoes are as unforgiving on a man as lingerie on a woman: exposing not external flaw (those can be hid, artfully) but internal bold smoove.

Actually, I bet in the alternate universe where boys go to finishing school instead of girls, learning how to wear a tuxedo (or any bespoke outfit) would be a whole semester-long class.

Harsher still. I have definitely seen men carry off the bespoke in recent days, and have no more beef with men in tuxedoes than most women in white or black tie attire. And, honestly, lingerie's not a big attitude problem for me either.

Hmmm, did Baal say that Vala was his wife?

I didn't remember that.

Oh, and why are there multiple Baals?

I have obviously not been paying enough attention.

Masters of Science Fiction's cast list is up at Zap2it.

I know someone who, until recently, made his living dealing baccarat. I'm guessing the people at the table were pretty comfortable with it.

Oh, and why are there multiple Baals?

Yay! Just a drive by post since I can't watch until later. But Baal is more fun than the Ori. He and Vala could be a fun couple.

Volume III coming soon. Whee!

Ba'al cloned himself at some point. What I hadn't realized is that all of the clones have snakes. That would make them hard to tell apart.

I will not comment on the stupidity of what Sam did, because SGA made me so happy, I am inarticulate.

Watchbird! I'll have to look up The Discarded, but I think I have that somewhere, too.

And Google tells me that Jonathan Frakes directed The Discarded. Weird they don't mention that.
