I once had to swordfight in a college film, but was dissapointed the guy I was swordfighting never even picked up a tenth of what I've picked up watching swordfighting on film. I mean I had no training, but gah! Fought like his arm was jelly and his sword was grotty. Dude, I know my character wins, but the hero doesn't throw the fight.

The sad thing? He was in theater with me, and his ramrod straight posture was perfect for period costumes. What a waste without swordfighting skills.

He was a good friend, though.

I think they should grab a stage sword on the way up, and land fighting.

Legolas could do this. Maybe Batman. Xena. After that you'd run out of candidates.

Pfft. Nightwing. Lady Shiva (the character, not Plei's cat). Current Batgirl for sure.

I recently discovered one of my krav instructors choreographs swordfighting. Which makes his presence on the Troy set more plausible. And is the indirect reason for his Scrubs appearance.

Unrelatedly, but thread-topically, I was looking askance at the Atlantis credits, with those thrusting towers, and rolling my eyes at the phallicity of it all.

Then I paused for a second and realised that every show, you have a team carrying big guns and staffs that blast diving into big wet holes time after time.

So it's all good.

Don't forget the big cylindrical shuttle that was designed so the stargate is just the right size for it to slide through when zipping back and forth.

Oh God yes. Really, I have no idea why the Great Phallic/Yonic Stargate Vid hasn't been done yet, but I look forward to it.

Katie, you will holler when it goes up, yeah?

A great place to research Michael Shanks's looks.

Heh. Yes, I promise I'll let you know if it ever appears.

There's an rda_daily and a daniel_daily, too, FWIW.

I watch RDA_, but hadn't found daniel_.

jd_ is very compact, but I do have to avoid reading the comments.

Well, yes, there's that.

I'm even mildly J/D (they're so amusing), but I realise that I can never lay claim to that in a room full of SG1 fen. Then again, I don't suppose the J/S shippers are much better. Well, at least they don't have a js_daily.

Oh, who am I kidding? Aligning yourself with any shippers (or even with noromos) is gonna be dangerous.
