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.
I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

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.

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

As counterpoint, if you're emotionally attached to the Aeryn Sun of the preceding seasons, season four will hit you like a mace in the gut -- and the changes seem to be for no good reason.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Right-o. The former version of Aeryn appears for exactly long enough to say the line "it's the hat" in the "We're so Screwed" arc.

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
the one in Teal'c? I think that was just Jack acting up.
I am so taken with this idea, I can't tell you. Because it's not like anyone had ever written Teal'c's name in English script before he came to Earth, right?

Exactly. Goa'uld script is all made-up-language corners and stuff. It comes from Jack saying, "With an apostrophe". I see no other reason for it.

That would be so Jack.
