I like it that the creators really get the possibilities inherent in the genre
Yeah, the folks at SG are pretty good at taking genre tropes and putting a new spin on them. One of my favorite episodes that did this was "A Matter of Time" from season 2--I mean, gating to a black hole! It's such a nifty idea. Plus, relativity! Carter on a full-on problem solving mode! On top of that, it had some great Jack characterization stuff via the introduction of Cromwell. It's just an all-around cool episode.
I find the Visjinic mulls Elektra part news a tad more interesting.
Visnjinic AND Terrance Stamp.
Oh, curse him. Now I'll have to go see it.
Hey, Garner, Goran, Stamp and Rob Bowman? Sounds like it might actually be good.
There was also an article about NBC possibly picking up a spin-off of Van Helsing . . .
Garner and Visnjic getting hot and heavy?
Oh, lord, I'm so there.
So I had a Roman history exam today. If Michael Rosenbaum knew half the images of him I used to help me remember various laws, he'd be mightily embarrased I'm sure. For example - lex Fufia Caninia - Lex with a fluffy poodle under his arm.
Also, do we know how Dr. Swann got the key? I'm very confused by the whole episode, whose name escapes me right now. I think I'll call it The One Where Clark Rips Open Lex's Shirt.
Can I move in here, where I'm a half-assed fan with a passing interest in stuff? I walked past a cubicle here, and thought "Turnabout is fair play." This very guy had stopped by mine to discuss LotR, and here he was with an SG1 calendar up. So we chat.
I completely outed myself as a huge SG1 geek.
Except I'm not! Why don't people read the internet more? Then he'd know who was going to me on SG: Atlantis, and about RDA's reduced schedule. And not look at me kinda funny.
It was a lovely calendar, though. Lots of pretty pictures, with April being the best. Daniel's in the middle, with a very serious look on his face, pointing a zat. He's flanked by Sam and Teal'c, neither of whom are slowed down by a lack of weapon (they're making guns with their fingers) or the goofy looks on their faces.
