ION, Smallville -related, I read via Yahoo (I think) that they had hoped to bring Christopher Reeve back this season, but scheduling conflicts with a movie he was filming had prevented him from returning.

(I appear to have this desire to randomly spoiler font non-spoilery things today.)

That's interesting choice of what to whitefont, sumi.

eta: Heh.

Um, should I have whitefonted that?

Because -- it's not going to happen now. (The Christopher Reeve appearance.)

I think if it was happening, especially considering recent events, it would warrant whitefont.

As is (was), I spent a while trying to work out what else the whitefont could have been -- since I don't italicise TV show titles, it never occurred to me it was a tag switch.

I'm wondering whether subbed Margot Kidder for Reeve in the proposed episode.

As in, an upcoming episode, or the one we already saw?

Upcoming. (I would guess.)

Of course, they may have intended him for the premiere. That would make sense.

I actually rather enjoyed Stargate: Aquarium. It's possible that there was too much happening, too fast, for me to notice any flaws. Time will tell. Also, bonus points for use of a Scottish accent.

I enjoyed it, too, Jars. I thought the pilot was pretty much a hoot. The character interactions kept me coming back. Not so much the plots, and, well, sometimes the characters just behave stupidly. But McKay, Beckett, sometimes Weir and Sheppard, and some of the bit players ... the Czech doc who has a teensy but amusing role in an upcoming ep, for example ... are kind of fun to watch (except when they're being stupid, but, you know, sometimes even then).

Still worried that McKay's schtick might get old, but so far I'm good with it.

I like Zelenka and Sheppard. McKay's funny but annoying. Everyone else, including Weir most of the time, is a cypher.

Teyla needs to learn about the joys of ponytails. Or at the very least, gel. Grrr, argh.
