'Smile Time'
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
RDA is really, really hot out of the uniform.
sigh
Maybourne is such a little weasel in this episode ...They did a really good job of turning him from a pompous one-note villain to a fun Trickster figure of SG-verse.
ITA.
Also love the bit at the end about Daniel drawing the short straw when Jack was trying to be all bondy.
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.
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.

Alex Kingston.
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.
Actually, ita, I've seen some interviews with Welling lately that have made me rethink him. When he's at ease, he's a pretty charming guy. I had no idea.
Mind you, I don't have the raging love-on for him like I do Rosenbaum the sexy cocksickle, but I would like to hug him and pet him and call him Tommy.
The couple TW interviews I've seen made me think "Huh. Pretty." Maybe it's the really lousy acting that's blocking me.
Evidently a lot of her prior roles have just been a result of past boyfriends and friends suggesting them - she's said that she's happier doing something like ER where she doesn't have to do so much background work.

Well, I have the advantage of not being able to watch Smallville in real-time, since I don't get the WB. It's easier to forgive the lousy acting.
Plus, I have season 1 Smallville DVDs, and am drowning in the HoYay. So. Very. Gay.
