Oh boy.
It's like a fannish dream come true; I would never have expected them to do this, not least because of the physical similarities between MS and BB.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Boxed Set, Vol. 1: Smallville, Due South, Farscape
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
I am amused by the parallel topics being discussed in here and natter.
so what you're telling me is there is a link between Ben...and Glory?

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Well, industry-confirmed regular cast spoilers are allowed, no? This is sort of analogous to Spike going over to Angel post-Buffy.

Well, they could not allow any ad libs. How anal are the writers, do we know?
Point. My sense is that some of RDA's stuff is his. But then, who's gonna argue with him? My other sense is that they, as a crew, are all about the fun. Or, have a healthy appreciation for it. I say this from listening to some of the commentaries and such. I, of course, am making them all into what I want them to be.
I foresee spoiler-control issues here.
Heh. I forsee personal issues with controlling my usual preference to not be spoiled. As I dash off to sci-fi.com...
(Edited to take out my snark at RDA. How silly am I? Very silly. I felt bad; I adore him.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I don't think there's any freakin' way people will be able to avoid this spoiler. It's ginormous. I'm in the Spoiler thread anyway, so I'll be able to talk about it there at the very least. But I hope it's allowable discussion over here where it belongs.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't see why it wouldn't be allowable -- it's not even like Spike. It's a completely new cast member, and who knows in what capacity or with what impact to the current cast or plotlines.

Wow. This is unexpected.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Having never watched SG1, I gotta ask -- about the spoiler, are people surprised over the actor or the character who the actor will play? And why?
And would it be impossible for me to jump in and start watching it in S9, and yes I realize that makes me a big 'ho for the actor in question but we all knew that anyway.

I just never would have expected they'd go after that particular actor. It's sort of a case of never the twain shall meet.

Did I miss details about the character?

Not even slightly. It's not tightly arced (although replete with callbacks to previous plot points, they rarely make or break your understanding, just enhance it), and in constant reruns.
