Really? I've met his brother and he seemed pretty bright. I was interviewing him for a newspaper article about his business.

"Hello, Newman."
Bwah! I hadn't caught that before. (SG - ep where Jack goes to Maybourne's secret off-world base). Verra funny.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
De Niro is off? Huh. Charisma must make up for a lot.
RDA is really, really hot out of the uniform.
Maybourne is such a little weasel in this episode. It still astounds me how much I've gotten to like the bastard over the following seasons. They did a really good job of turning him from a pompous one-note villain to a fun Trickster figure of SG-verse.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I can't decide if I should make a joke about me being dumb or my sister, so I'm going to settle for just recording the urge.

ITA.
Also love the bit at the end about Daniel drawing the short straw when Jack was trying to be all bondy.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
This makes me wonder, have there been any actors/actresses who are not known to be the brightest bulbs on the shelf yet can consistently do "intelligent" convincingly on screen? I can't think of any, off the top of my head.
Peter Donat. He played Mulder's father. He can't find his way on or off the stage without help. I've met several actors who seemed totally dim off stage and brilliant on stage.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Hey, Carter's on the Traffic miniseries on USA.
Musta been filmed in Canada.

De Niro is off?
Hmm, I always heard he was more just plain inarticulate off-screen, rather than not smart. There is a difference, and it seems to happen with actors a lot.

It's a remora, dimwit.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Wow. Alex Kingston? Her characters have always come across as fiercely intelligent to me, the kind of quality I associate with actresses like Judy Davis and Catherine Keener. That's a bit of a shock.
