Yeah, like goa'uld.

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

goa'uld.
And how might one pronounce this?
Go-awled? Go-a-oooled?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Depends on which character you ask and how lazy they're feeling that day. Technically "go-ah-ooold", often just "gooold".

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
Occasionally an actor shoots for "go-ah-oold" and hits something like "goo-awld," or trips over their tongue, which is highly entertaining. Poor guest stars.

Heh. I like the variable pronunciations. It's the sort of thing that happens in real life, since different people have different abilities to hear and reproduce the nuances of another language.
Meanwhile, I'm contemplating committing fic. SG1-Discworld crossover. Yet another bunny to add to the overflowing hutch.

I do have to admit, I like it that Jack generally doesn't bother with the correction pronunciation. He seems to mostly say Go-oold, sometimes even goold.

Hee! SA just called me to pronounce "Teal'c" and "goa'uld" for me.
And now she's off to take an exam.

Kinsey always says "goold". Funny thing, of course -- the apostrophe in goa'uld makes sense to me, but the one in Teal'c? I think that was just Jack acting up.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I, apparently, am Frank. (Although, I bet he hasn't had trouble getting the PK Tech Girl DVD, like I have. Makes understanding some of the plot points more fill-in-the blank than I think they're supposed to be.) At one point, I thought, "I wonder if John's wearing a black shirt this ep." as I had not noticed. And then the next scene came up, and he was, and then the scene continued, and I thought, "oh, so that's what they mean by a black-shirt episode." Not gonna be there for a good long while (getting Homicide next), but should I watch Season 4, despite the problematic?
Finally get the comfy chair line wrt Farscape (I already knew the Python).
And the pronunciation conversation is cracking me up.

If you ask me or Steph, we'll say yes, because there is some brilliance there, and the acting's good. If you ask ita, Nutty, or Micole, they'll probably say no.
Me, I'm just happy to see Ben Browder on my tv screen.
