Speaking of unexpected cast members. Andi and I were watching a movie last night that had an airport scene, and one of the guard guys was played by the guy who played young Lt George Hammond in the 1969 episode of SG-1.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi or fantasy) 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.

Our wings are not tired.
Zoe looked so pretty this ep!
I like her character a lot. Generally teen roles bug me. She is everything I like about the teen girls that hang around my son. I wasn't an instant fan, but she has won me over big time.
the guy who played young Lt George Hammond
He did look natural in uniform. Of course, one of my favorite eps. He totally sold being Hammond for me.

I would like for some future ep to have it be revealed that Carter was lowballing his number deliberately to make sure she came out higher than him.
I want it to be Stark that calls him on it.
Retcon can serve a noble purpose.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hmm. I like Martha better than I liked Rose, and I can't tell you if that's because of episodes I've seen that haven't been aired in the US yet. I don't quite think so--I warmed to her pretty early. She's bright and takes initiative more than Rose did.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I like Martha for the same reason I liked Ace: She's having fun. Travelling with the Doctor ought to be fun.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I like Martha as the Doctor's companion a lot. One thing I did see is that sometimes her native intelligence plus extensive education got overlooked in the writing. There were times when the script called for her to act like pretty much any other companion, when one would expect her scientific/medical training to come to the fore. But then again, if the writers had emphasized that, Martha would not be an effective proxy for the audience, so I can see why. Still, there were times that after an ep was over, I would look back and think Martha had gotten the short end of the stick.
