Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

This June? Huh. That's earlier than I thought. The description of the characters I've read didn't sound awfully promising--too much of a replica of the current cast, but I'll probably be turning in anyway to see it anyway.

On Adam Baldwin front: Damn. That's too bad. I'd have loved to see him as one of the leads; he sure is funny and charismatic enough to pull it off.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Yeah, I'll give 'em a shot, but I'm not holding out a lot of hope. One thing that cracked me up (spoiler for a worldbuilding element): They're going out of their way to give them a variant on the universal translator. Apparently they're tired of answering questions about why all the aliens speak English.

Hey, did you download that Stargate Cantina vid that barkley recommended, by the way? So funny.

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

Did the Tokra undercover agent in Into The Fire survive? I liked her.

Did the Tokra undercover agent in Into The Fire survive? I liked her.

It was unclear ... last thing she said (having to do with her condition) was something like, "My symbiote might yet save me." Don't recall hearing about her again, but my viewing still has some holes.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I finally watched "Window of Opportunity" (I'd taped the episode the other week). Good heavens, that was funny, especially the golf sequence. Even so, they managed to bring the pain rather nicely at the end, what with the alien telling Jack that there was no way he could understand the other's hurt at losing his wife, and Jack having that outburst about Charlie.

Speaking of which, Charlie's death was covered in the movie, but when was that bit of exposition first brought up in the series?

you can call me bob.

They did an episode in the first season with an alien life that replicates Jack and then goes to visit his ex-wife. It covers the whole story. It's the one with the yellow sand and blue crystals.

I do think that his wife and child are mentioned in the pilot without much explanation.

Art Crawl!!!

questor! I thought EXACTLY the same thing! It's liquid Kryptonite.

And I really enjoyed seeing AB on Stargate on Friday -- I can't wait to see him next week.

I love that episode. I thought they did a really good job of not hitting the reset button, but also of not having Jack reap all the benefits of the alien's interactions.
