Smallville: Lynda Carter looked great. Why would Lex use all his resources to make Lana think she was pregnant? That was idiotic. And I wish that we would learn what, if anything, Chloe's meteor-rock power is. Also, the preview makes it look like it's ALL Clark/Lex so I am looking forward to it.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
is it just my computer or is that first Director's Cut audio really hard to hear?
sumi, do you mean when Dean says, "come to the coast. we'll get together, have a few laughs"? it's a quote from Bruce Willis' character in Die Hard, if that's what it is.

So, I'm watching Cold Squad today. Tohmah whathisname, Helo on BSG plays a beat cop. His partner, at least in this episode is the actor who plays the Scottish doctor on SG-A. On Cold Squad he has a very Canadian accent, on SG-A it is Scottish. So I'm wondering, does anyone know which is his real accent?
JenP - Apr 22, 2007 5:32:47 pm PDT #724 of 10001
I know that his accent on SGA is not his normal way of speaking. I think maybe his folks are from Scotland? I think he's Canadian. Maybe.

From IMDB:

He returned to Scotland during his early teens for a few years before heading back to Canada . Paul has a degree in Teaching and while studying at University, got involved in various sports including becoming a freestyle wrestling champion. After graduating the actor began his career teaching theatre in Toronto, squeezing in time to attend auditions, finally making the move to Vancouver.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think maybe his folks are from Scotland? I think he's Canadian. Maybe.
AFAIK, both things are true. (His parents are definitely Scottish, I don't remember if he's Canadian.) At panels, he slips in and out of the Scottish accent without missing a beat, which is both cool and a little freaky.

He talked about that at DragonCon. He has a Canadian accent, but his parents are Scottish.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Uh, DC? I didn't know there was supposed to be mention of [omitted]
The character in question was announced to be in the third series and left to join the Tardis off screen at the end of season one of Torchwood .
It is widely known, but I have altered my post because it is not necessarily known by all.

Blood Ties: how the heck is the priest alive for 400 years? Is he actually a vampire too?
sumi, did you catch the explanation having to do with milking vampires for their blood and mixing it with some sort of special chinese herb, all tied up with a black magic ritual and then having jazz hands waved over it?
Boy, that was a bit more torture than I usually care to watch. But I did have to laugh at Henry saying "grace" as he drug the monsigneur down the hall, before chowing down.
