I have to admit, Adam Carter is a cold-hearted bastard, but a very good spy.
I expect they cut hell out of the scene where he talks wassname into shooting herself.
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I expect they cut hell out of the scene
Oh, yeah. Essentially, all mentions of the daughter have been excised. I mean, a lot of that was exposition to catch the viewers up on why Tom was framed, but they also lost some intensity from the scene by abbreviating it so much.
They also cut the last scene in which Adam was invited along with Zoe, Danny and Tom to go for a drink, which I was actually happy about, because that scene had struck me as incongruous when it first aired.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wait, Penry-Jones? He's the brother of the guy that played Adam Duke on the Waking The Dead episode with the Sheperd, I bet. And the junior Penry Jones was briefly on Midsomer Murders last night, playing the younger version of Daddy Penry-Jones.
Good looking family.

Whew. So I was away all last week and finally saw the two most recent SG-1 (Harry! I didn't know there was going to be Harry! Yay!) and Atlantis eps. Liked them both. SG-1 for the same sappy-hearted reasons as ita. Chortled at Harry's sudden Ancient reading skills, but I really don't care, because, as noted, Jack! Off-world! With sunglasses and banter! The team! Together! Ahem. Sorry. Liked Atlantis for the whole thing, actually. Am having the same post-hiatus preference overall for the big A, which is disconcerting. Anyway. And loved the not-so-fast-Skippy-this-is-our-potentia ending. Go, indigenous people.
And now I have some Lost, Alias, and Battlestar to catch up with next. I tell ya', one week away with no internet access...

And Katie! With the hilarity (we knew that) and fame! And spot-on insightfulness, dontchaknow. Damn straight. (Wouldn't it be cool to know the trail from your LJ entry to that article?)

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

Yes! I'm terribly curious.

I probably liked Aquarium about even with, or slightly less than Original Recipe -- because I didn't for a moment believe they'd
get the zed pee em.
And something about the
Wraith dart
failed to perk up the requisite anticipation in me. I guess, as long as the show is called
Aquarium Atlantis, they're going to be there, and cut off from Tauri.
Prove me wrong, guys, prove me wrong!

Heh. Yeah, point. But I did like the way they ended up not getting it. I also like saying and hearing zedpm, though I have no idea why I get such joy from the zed/zee thing. But I do. The dart worked better for me before I knew that it actually was a dart. I mean, that's what they speculated, of course. For whatever reason, I expected it to be Something Else. Oh well.
I tell you what's surprising me is how much I am digging Battlestar. Because I really am. Oh, I meant to ask you, ita... you posted that something that they did to one of the characters just before the hiatus might potentially make the character less interesting. Who and what? I was looking for it, but I couldn't figure it out.

How far along in BG are you, JenP?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Yeah. It's how I felt about Voyager, even before I knew how lame the stories would be. There's only so many failed attempts to get home I can stand before I lose interest, because you know that whatever they try, it ain't gonna work. It's like being spoiled for the end of every episode.
