There was a BSG promo posted over at lj that I saw linked from at TWOP.

Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I loved the visuals of SGA. Not as sure about the story--it was okay. But the effect tricks were happymaking, and Jason knocked his shit out of the park.
I did think very strongly of War Stories during the final fight, with Sheppard hanging back on the kill.
Not sure why blasting the baddie would bring down the wraith wrath where breaking his neck wouldn't.

4400: I was so excited when I saw JAR in the guest credits. Sad now that he's not going to be back.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
Okay, y'all. A friend is interviewing Jamie Bamber on Monday, and needs to submit questions. What do we want to know?
Brenda, how about your friend asking if Jamie would like to guest on Doctor Who?

Actually, she played Hero from Much Ado About Nothing, and a Hero-with-a-backbone at that! I cheered for her at the end (well, the end before the epilogue).

When I saw that Kavan Smith's one line in the whole episode was "You guys have got to see this!" I was wondering if that was why he was absent from the SGA episode that fairly obviously had a part written for him.

I, for one, welcome the new Daniel Craig James Bond.
I'm not mad about it, but I still have the love for Pierce Brosnan. I think that he was a damn fine Bond, second only to Connery (and in some ways I like PB more, but I think that it's because the original Bond was kind of a sexist asshole at times, but that's not PC anymore, so the PBBond didn't do that sort of thing). I am, however, still mad at NBC for not releasing PB from his contract back in the 80s and inflicting us with Timothy Dalton.

We're of one mind on this issue. No grudge against Daniel Craig, but I do wish the studio had kept Brosnan for another movie or two.

From my friend Sarah:
Just got done with the Jamie Bamber interview; he is very nice, well-spoken and thoughtful. The English accent didn't hurt, either :)
I couldn't get too much scoop about Season 3, except that [spoilers]there will be suicide bombings by the good people, people tortured (in the 'lost' year), he is with Dualla, and episode 4 is called "Collaborators" and will be all "people talking in rooms" -- no action.
I asked him about his sex symbol status (and mentioned the arm fixation :); I'll post his response when I get the interview transcribed!

Oh, that reminds me, there's a fun article about Jamie Bamber and the queering of sci-fi TV in the latest issue of Out magazine. From the article, it didn't seem like BSG has really done a lot to make sci-fi more queer (I've only seen the very beginning of season 1 so can't comment on that myself); it was basically an excuse to take pictures of Jamie Bamber looking lickable, but I've got no complaints with that! The article did mention Captain Jack (of Doctor Who and Torchwood fame), which got a cheer from me.
