and that Martouf died.
Man, he can't catch a break.
Joyce: And what did you do tonight? Dawn: Irritated Giles. I'm beginning to get why Buffy likes it so much.

The actor's character was the first to die in the freaky glass house in Thirteen Ghosts too, wasn't he?

Art Crawl!!!
There was the story of the band from the 80s who were suing their lead singer because he hadn't kept up his appearance.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
D'oh. Martouf.
I'm just obsessed with the cloning thing, for some reason.
Dumb show.

The reaction of the SG fans on LJ this morning was funny.
"Martouf was there. But as usual, he died."
"Well, you know. It's Martouf. He would die. Poor Martouf."
It was also brought to my attention that the blond genetically-engineered associate was played by the actress who was the kick-ass goth-girl from the S5 The X-Files episode, "Kill Switch". Man, I love that episode.

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
It's sweet that everyone likes Martouf, because man, if there was ever a character who did not conform to the fannish "be snarky and cynical, dammit!" credo it's Marty. So earnest and dorky! Poor guy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It cracks me up that everytime we start talking about the character, it invariably ends up with "Poor Martouf!". Sad-sack, pine-y Martouf with his goofy smile and wooden-pole demeanor. Poor guy. (See?)

Yeah, but he's got a great smile.

Sigh. I miss him. Interestingly, well, to me ... on the commentary for Summit and the Part II of it (can't remember name), they were discussing the fact that they had tried to bring back JR Bourne, but he was unavailable. So, that's how they ended up with Lantash in ... the kid, whatshismane. They were actually gonna not kill Martouf (uh, again), but then when they had to change the story because of the actor's unavailability, they ended up killing Lantash. Bummer. They were going to use the old "no one ever really has to die permanently in SF, and, damn, that's a mighty resilient symbiote thing" as an excuse to bring back Martouf, but, alas ...
