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

Well, next time don't spoil yourself, silly. You could've spent the next three months thinking "maybe it's a picture of his corpse. Maybe they cut his arms off and sent them to the SGC! Who knows?"

I take no responsibility for your lack of self-control.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Okay, so we finished watching, on tape, the episode where Tanith shows up on Tollana.

Can someone explain why the Tollan didn't take one of the super bombs and just *blow up the damn Goau'ld ship*?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Too easy?

Aren't the Goau'ld ships surrounded by those big force fields that repel nuclear explosions like summer rain while somehow inexplicably allowing small forces of soldiers to board them and overcome enemies with vast numerical and technological superiority?

The point of the episode was that these were the special bombs that could walk through walls. My heart-breaking grief over the apparent destruction of the Tollan people was somewhat mitigated by the fact that they had a plot hole the size of Mars.

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

Random context question: was Michael Shanks dating Lexa Doig the first time and/or the second time he filmed an Andromeda ep? I just realised that I read an interview with him where he said it was a lot of fun, getting to beat up on his girlfriend, and I thought that was the first one, since I thought (stupidly) that Hector kicked his ass in the second. And I was just trying to work out which he was talking about.

Er, yeah. Well, okay, so, they... didn't have a delivery device?

No, wait! I don't think we ever actually saw the walk-through-things devices get anyone through a shield as such. Just solid matter. So, see, the shields? You can't get through them with the Tollan technology.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

It's the silly armor. Slows 'em down.

Second, yes. I don't know about the first time - maybe that's how they met?

I have a sudden vision of a Vancouver bar where all the ex-pats working on syndicated action films hang out.

And there probably is one, or close to that.

All is well that ends in pizza.

That might be the Sutton Place Hotel bar where the one guy met Adam Baldwin and Alan Tudyk for drinks one evening and saw David Duchovny at one point.

I wonder, do the locals get blasé about star customers after a while at those places, or is it that they choose to congregate at places where they aren't recognized and reacted to much in the first place?
