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?
Mal: Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe? Zoe: Had a kind poetry to it, sir.

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.

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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I have no trouble handling psychic whales. (A BABY WHALE FRIEND. NAMED SAM.)With everything SGA has asked me to deal with over the years? Whales (fish whales even) are easy. Especially when it is a baby whale friend named Sam. Because I found that amusing.
And, boy howdy, Shep was smoking hot.
Boy, I am all about the shallow when it comes to this show.
I'm just getting to SG1 now and it's ... lacking thrall. Except Sam's password. That's kinda amusing. Well, unless she dies. Then it'll be poignant. I hope.

I thought that thing Daniel mentioned was pretty widely known, too.
Doctor Who: I really, really don't like the pig/humans. It's a thing. Especially since they serve no freaking purpose at all. I gotta say, apart from Martha being awesome as per usual, and the Doctor being hot like burning (what's up with his hair this season? why is he suddenly like a thousand times hotter??), this ep didn't really do it for me. Ah well -- maybe I'll rewatch "Gridlock" to restore my love.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I had somehow managed to block out the ending of Torchwood that makes that not a Dr. Who spoiler, but I'm very sure that if I'd heard it explicitly I'd have remembered.
As such, not bothered by the omission, and now knowing what I know, still not bothered because it's a time travel device. It's only our poor human impatience that hurts us.
TiVoed PKJane again. I have some problems. Kristianna Loken fights like pacifist naked mole rat with scurvy and no teeth. She would lose to SMG, her fighting position is so lame.
Her character is also insufferably smug, both in voiceover and onscreen. I hate the feeling I should have been recording some other show (say, like Blood Ties).
If I have SG1, SGA, SPN, Eureka, TDF, BSG, The 4400, and The Dead Zone season passes, what am I missing that I can catch up on easily?
And where the fuck am I going to get the time?
