I like the first actress better, too, Jen. Although this one has grown on me a bit. I don't mind her hair, either: if it's naturally curly and they're short on power/water, of course she'd let it go. But you're right that they really haven't made her that interesting: she's oddly passive, despite her position.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

But it's TV roughing it. They need to find a suitably attractive letting-it-go look. (No, I don't actually care this much.)

Yes, this very thing. It's odd.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She doesn't get much screen time. She's General Hammond, and all the others get (the opportunity) to be decisive and cool. Which is wasteful.
Teyla is so damned feh. She's all concept and no character. I like Sheppard and Ford, but I don't know them. I think I knew SG1 by this point.
Also, deeply stupid. If you can make me nostalgic for the Prime Directive, you're not using all the neurons Darwin gave you.

Snerk, indeed. Stupid plots, requiring stupid people.

Spoiler from Comics Continuum:
SMALLVILLE UPDATE Jane Seymour has signed a deal for a five-episode arc on The WB's Smallville.
Seymour will play Jason Teague's mother, Genevieve, a rich, powerful Metropolis socialite who may hold the key to Lana's mysterious tattoo.
The arc will be part of Smallville's fourth season.
And this:
In other Smallville news, TV Guide Online is reporting that Wednesday's episode will include a tribute to Christopher Reeve, the movie Superman and Smallville guest-star who died Sunday night.
The top spoiler is casting and plotty -- the bottom not so much and has to do with today's episode.
I'm not sure how I feel about spoiler 1.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
The party mentioned in spoiler one works my last good nerve.
Is Smallville new tonight?

Is the mini 4 hours or 6?

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
Thanks, sumi! *bounce*
