I’ve never been a breast man. To be perfectly honest, I’ve always been more of a leg guy. Well, up until that restaurant opened up a couple of blocks from my house, way back when we were living in Montreal. I don’t remember its name or what else was on the menu, but I do remember the reason I loved the place and how it redirected my passion from legs to those fatty little pieces of utter bliss: heavenly garlic-parmesan wings.
Sadly, the restaurant didn’t last long, going out of business within the year, and I mourned its passing like an addict bemoaning the loss of his dealer. In time, I moved on, making due with more mundane substitutes such as buffalo or sweet and sour, resigned to the fact that my garlic-parmesan wing-eating days were behind me. Short of actually making them myself – which, of course, was not going to happen – I was out of luck. I moved on.
So imagine my surprise and utter delight when I walked into Wing Nuts the other night, scanned the posted menu, and had my eyes alight on one stand-out selection under the SAUCE category: Garlic & Parmesan. Ah, just like old times.
Wing Nuts offers some 18 different varieties of wings, sauced and dry, in addition to sandwiches, jalapeno poppers, onion rings, chili, and various salads. We were four and went with the 48 wings for $29.99 which came with four different flavors. Lots of great choices here but, in the end, we decided to go with the Garlic & Parmesan, the Chili ’N Lime, the Spicy Thai Peanut, and that day’s feature: the Mango & Habanero. We also ordered 6 dry spiced Cajun wings, some japaleno poppers, and a poutine (fries, cheese curds, and gravy) for Fondy.
Overall, good wings but not quite as plump and succulent as I’d hoped. I suspected they’d once belonged to mean street chickens, poultry who had perhaps suffered a difficult upbringing, forced to steel themselves against the harsh hand life had dealt them by adopting tough, uncompromising personas – fighting birds if you will, all lean and sinewy and tatted up.
But tasty nevertheless. We all had our favorites. While I liked the Garlic & Parmesan, everyone else found them a little too sharp. The chili ‘n lime were pretty good, not too spicy, but the mango-habanero was a huge disappointment. It was admittedly tasty but thoroughly lacking in any of the heat one would expect from a habareno-based sauce. My surprise favorite was the spicy thai peanut, especially after the wings had been allowed to sit a while so that the sauce could thicken. As for my fellow diners, they gave top marks to the Cajun wings.
For dessert – a little taste of Scotland in the way of deep-fried Snickers and Mars Bars. This was my first time having these delicious treats – lightly-battered and crispy on the outside, warm and melty-good on the inside – but my friend was a veteran and pronounced them the best he’s ever tasted.
Whoowhee, lotsa questions to get around to today. Let’s see what I can do –
NightSpring writes: “Carter’s a done deal. […] On the other hand, we could possibly handle that if we weren’t also losing Torri. Why is there not room for both of them to do 14 or so episodes??”
Answer: At the risk of repeating myself, it’s not an either or situation. The addition of Carter wasn’t the reason we decided to take Weir in a new direction.
Anonymous #1 writes: “Basically, we’re getting Carter on Atlantis because Scifi wanted a crossover. That is what you’re saying, right?”
Answer: Wrong. That isn’t what I’m saying. If you’re wondering whether the only reason we’re bringing Carter aboard because SciFi requested it, the answer is no. If you’re wondering whether SciFi and the production both support the idea of bringing Carter aboard, the answer is yes.

Meh, decided to ask again, like a roll of a die. It’s not like you answer all questions, so I decided to get an early post.
Oh those wings and drumsticks look delish. I almost through my ‘eat healthy’ diet out the window. Maybe I need a salad. 😀
Askinga the questions again…
1)Are we going to find out more on Wraith children? I’m just remembering Ellia, I’d just like to see where they are and what they’re like, if possible. It was also interesting that they lived on human food until a certain age.
2) Is it possible that Teyla’s dad was macking a Wraith Queen? 😀 (I had to ask, since there is never any mention of her; but Teyla appears more human than wraith).
Teyla as Electra? You are my man! A Marvel lover too (which I gathered from all the figures), I’m a Elektra/Psylocke/She-Hulk (she’s naughty! :D)/Storm lover (when she’s not under Hudlin! ugh!).
I always figured the best Electra, physically, when turned to film, would be Jennifer Lopez.
That being said, I have a post on the RL/JL resemblance— http://www.stargateomega.com/forum/showpost.php?p=19936&postcount=27
Take a gander. RL (is so super hot)!
——————————
By the way I’m a McKay fanatic, thanks for the heads up on McKay. I can’t wait to see this. I really am on the edge of my seat in anticipation for S4.
Laters JM.
First off those wings look amazing. I was wondering have you ever though of taking your love of food and incorporating it somehow into the show, maybe have teal’c take up the hobby of making ice cream?
I may be in the minority but I am glad there won’t be any NID/Trust stories in S4. I never cared for the conspiracy theory storylines as I thought they were too unbelievable.
I have seen a lot of comments and questions here and all over the internet about who is responsible for cast and story decisions, etc. I am curious as to how much mgm, the network and/or any other entities in the food chain interject themselves into the story decision process. I would think it would be self-defeating for them to contract for a show with a good staff and then try to micro-manage them, but I have seen that kind of things in many different businesses and have no reason to think it would be different in television. Is creative control mostly left to the show’s production staff, or is there second-guessing and direction from above? Is this consistent with most of the industry or do you think it is better or worse on this production than others?
Joe,
How many episodes are you guys going to write before knowing about the future of Atlantis? Ooh, and how many do you have written now?
Wow Joe, you’ve done it again – upon reading your blog I found myself with a chicken craving. I ended up taking out some frozen wings (though probably no where as good as the ones you had), but sufficed my craving nonetheless.
Question – ever think of compiling a book of your restaurant reviews and other culinary experiences?
Will both Ellis and Caldwell be returning in season four?
Fried Mars Bars!!! Kill me now!!!!
I’ve never understood chicken wings. Sure, they’re tasty, but there’s hardly anything to them. Meat, that is. Just lots of skin and bone. I prefer legs. But garlic parmesean sounds fantastic! Must try to make that some time.
Carl has a Crown Vic? Cool! I’ve got a white one…which means I’ve only been pulled over once in my 8 or so years of driving it…and sometimes people slow down around me. (Incidentally, I’ve been thinking of getting a new car, a smaller one, as driving around Vancouver in the Crown Vic feels kind of like manuvering a boat. Or at least downtown it does. Does he not find it awkward?)
So, I’m totally hoping to see more Michael. But pretty please, don’t kill him. He’s just way too cool. Like Ba’al, he needs to stick around for many, many seasons. (Still hoping he’ll turn to the good side, or at least the less evil side. Maybe not so good that he can join the good guys but not so evil that they feel okay killing him?)
Speaking of Michael, this may be my own overanalysis of names (I do love names), but did you guys pick that name for him because it means “Who is like God?” and sort of refers to the “playing God” inherent in the whole gene manipulation thing? (Or even referring to the hippocratic oath, “Above all, I must not play at God.”)
Hi Joe:
You are keeping us on our toes as you post at different times. I never know when to look.
Anyway, you said: “At the risk of repeating myself, it’s not an either or situation. The addition of Carter wasn’t the reason we decided to take Weir in a new direction.”
What was the reason you decided to take Weir in a new direction?
Have a great day.

Anonymous #8 writes: “If you don’t know how many episodes Weir will be in because the back half of season 4 hasn’t been written yet, how do you know that Amanda will be in 14 episodes?”
Answer: I know because Amanda has a series deal for season four.
So you’re admitting that Torri’s contract is up. And again,I don’t understand why you people don’t want to fix that! She plays the leader of the mission, for crying out loud. She’s the lead actress.
Elizabeth has a wonderful relationship with each of the other characters, especially Sheppard and McKay.
I can’t imagine how it is that anyone involved with the show can think that she’s expendable.
It’s interesting to note that all the other actors have been saying wonderful things about Torri and Paul at conventions recently — Joe, Jason, David Nykl. I have to wonder how they feel about the decision, and how the loss of two characters in such a short time will affect the feel of the cast as a whole. It would have to be unsettling, and they’d have to wonder who’s next in this game of Russian Roulette.
David Hewlett is the only one I see as being safe, since everyone thinks the sun shines out his butt (and he is fabulous, so I’m not having a bitch about him here) Even Joe would have to know that you originally wanted Browder for his role. I can’t see how any of them can feel particulary secure in their jobs given what’s happened to two strong performers in Paul and Torri.
No NID or Trust in the next season of “Atlantis”? You’re just doing that to make us send you chocolate, to show our gratitude, right? Sounds like a clever Mallozzian ploy to me.
I was wondering if we will be able to see the outcome of three things in atlantis season 4. The first id the outcome of the Tria. The second, will they ever get that full zpm the dagans have from episode 15 in season 1. Finally, if they will salvage the downed wraith cruiser in Submerged. Thanks
1. Will Ronon and Teyla get equal screen time as Rodney and John? Will Ronon have a bigger, 3-4 episode long story arc too? Teal’c had more episode after 3 season than Teyla. We don’t know enough about their skills, feelings, family, religion, culture. Sometimes I feel that they are really Conan and Xena, because they are warriors both, who can only fight. Will we learn more about Teyla’s Wraith abilities through the Michael plot?
Hiya Joe,
Asked this before but didnt get a comment on it. I was wondering whether the creatures of Micheal in Vengeance will make an appearance in season 4?
Also, will we find out the ‘Plan’ the Asurans had in ‘dealing with the Wraith’ that was mentioned when the Atlantis Expedition first encountered them? Or any possible Wraith and Asuran encounters happening?
Take care Joe!
I will never be able to eat chicken again without wondering if it was a mean street chicken!! I can picture those chicken now in their studded leather with those knuckle things on their feet.. strutting along and crowing loud…
YOu have a delightful way of expressing yourself…
Dori
Hi! First, you attributed a question to me that was posted by someone else.
Second, I’ve been wondering about the different uniforms on Atlantis. Who decides when to change them, and is there any rhyme or reason to the changes? And Rodney’s been through several different shades of t-shirts, but Radek, as David Nykl noted in his blog, is still wearing the same blue ones from the first season. Why?
“Anonymous #8 writes: “If you don’t know how many episodes Weir will be in because the back half of season 4 hasn’t been written yet, how do you know that Amanda will be in 14 episodes?”

Okay, then can you tell us in how many episodes of the first half of season 4 will Weir be in?
Hi Joe
I was just wondering, will we get to see an episode in S4 in which the team gets to show how much they would do/sacrifice to save Sheppard? I know Sheppard’s the hero, but over the past 3 seasons he’s shown his team how much he’s willing to give up to keep them save. Perhaps now it’s time for the team to return the favor and to show him how much he means to them?
Thanks!
Jessica

So does this mean that Torri does not have a deal for S4, thus her recurring status?

As to the first part… Interesting.. I usually just add it to milk.
As to the ‘”Annie”.. Since I am male and over 65 (not the demographic most TV shows look for .. sorry) Annie is not my first name. Since you like super heroes/villains I will give you a clue.. My first name is the same as the last name of the alter ego of one of them.

Hi Joe!
Well your latest food piccies made me hungry – again! I always get the munchies when reading your blog. I’ve lost a fair amount of weight recently, so I’m having to keep myself in check, and it’s not easy!!
Another Travelers question. Sorry -just shoot me! Oh no! I got that wrong. Shoot SHEPPARD, not me!LOL!
My question:
Ok, having seen spoilers, presumably from sides, on Stargate Solutions today, I have to say, that Travelers doesn’t seem particularly Shep whumpy, from what little is written on that site. (It looks damn good though, if the spoilers are accurate.)
So, can you put me out of my misery, and perhaps tell me if Travelers is an episode with a little Shep whump in it, or is it a big Shep whumping episode?
I just don’t want to be disappointed, as I have been by the lack of Shep whump in the later season 3 episodes. (I still loved the episodes though. The whump is the icing on the cake, so to speak.)
Thanks!!!
Overall, good wings but not quite as plump and succulent as I’d hoped. I suspected they’d once belonged to mean street chickens, poultry who had perhaps suffered a difficult upbringing, forced to steel themselves against the harsh hand life had dealt them by adopting tough, uncompromising personas – fighting birds if you will, all lean and sinewy and tatted up.
LOL you can tell you’re a write. That had me ROTFLOL. Thanks:)

So everyone wanted to bring Carter over to SGA for a long time, so. . .if SG1 had been renewed, what would have happened to Carter? Would she leave SG1 and still do 14 episodes of SGA? That wouldn’t have gone over well. If not, would Weir still be a reg on SGA, or would she have been dumped no matter what?
Joe, in Damien Kindler’s interview at GateWorld he was reluctant to offer his opinion on Unending. Is there something to be worried about in it, and more importantly, what is you opinion on SG-1’s last episode?
Any chance that the next few seasons of SGA could have more than just the twenty episodes apiece? Because twenty episodes just isn’t enough! 🙂
Also, out of curiosity, how long does it usually take for a script to go from an idea being tossed around in the writers’ room to a final ready-to-shoot package? By which I mean, if the Atlantis cast and crew are just getting set up to shoot season four, how long have the writers and production crew been back, hard at work, getting the first six episode scripts ready to go?
Mmmm, garlic-parmesan wings sounds wonderful! Actually, garlic-parmesan anything sounds pretty awesome. Except maybe ice cream.

Hmmmm, I thought we saw how far the team would go for Shep in eps like Epiphany and Common Ground?!
We don’t know enough about their skills, feelings, family, religion, culture. Sometimes I feel that they are really Conan and Xena, because they are warriors both, who can only fight. Will we learn more about Teyla’s Wraith abilities through the Michael plot?
I agree we don’t know a lot in regards to their character. But I do feel that in the case of Teyla the previous 2 seasons really took Teyla out of that “Xena” mentality people seem to like to marginalize her, this goes the same for Ronon—who was greatly developed in these last two seasons, to dispel the idea he’s “Conan”.
I sometimes have to wonder if people watch the show, or pay attention to the characters. Development is not done in a character driven ep, development is done throughout each episode they appear and the episodes in a season as a whole. That being said, Ronon did really well this season as Teyla had the two seasons before.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to S4, and JM has confirmed that there’s plenty to look forward too from these two characters.
“and a poutine (fries, cheese curds, and gravy)” WHY WHY WHY would anyone eat this???????
How long before you look at the second half of the season and decide how many episodes Torri will have?
Why would you not want to renew her contract? Weir is the last true civilian in the lineup. Or do you want to turn this into a completely military show (with the exception of McKay, who goes out on missions like he’s military anyway)
The big point of difference to me with Atlantis was that it was headed by a civilian, and had strong civilian presence. It was also multinational and you saw that in McKay, Beckett, Zelenka and Grodin. Now you have McKay as the only full cast member who’s not American, and the only time you point that out is to make a joke at the expense of Canadians (no doubt to appease the American powers that be….)
Atlantis to me is looking like an SG1 clone. I don’t like SG1. I never liked SG1.
Do you get that the cast changes are causing long term Atlantis fans to turn off?
You’ve pretty much confirmed that Torri is without a contract for season four. So why doesn’t someone with the guts to make a decision do something about that? Or is everyone scared of whichever one of TPTB it was who said they wanted her out.
Are we to believe that you’ve been planning this with her all along because you knew she only had a three year contract? If so, why let the audience grow to love the character by giving her episodes like The Real World, Before I Sleep etc? You’ve built up people’s feeling for the character (the same thing has been done with poor sweet Carson) only to then say “meh, I don’t think people like her as much as they say”.
You know what? We do. And for many of us, Atlantis won’t be the same without her. It also won’t be worth watching for many because theyr’e so disillusioned about who you’re going to dump next.
I can’t imagine how Torri and Paul must feel about all of this. They’ve been wonderful throughout, and unlike a certain other performer within the franchise who made a fuss at a convention about not having a contract while everybody else did, Torri’s been nothing but professional. She could have whined about not having a contract during a convention appearance too. She could have had fans all over the internet screaming blue murder for her. She’s taken the higher moral ground and she’s been shafted for it.
Very much looking forward to seeing Amanda/Sam Carter in Atlantis next year … and wondering how she will be introduced.
My question is:
We are already into March and, unlike previous years, there is no news yet of when the Region 2 single DVDs of SG-1 season 10 and Atlantis Season 3 will be coming out.
Can you give us a clue … a month (or even a season) would be nice! (Failing that, a year …)
Also, can you confirm that they will actually be released on DVD and not (as a friend of mine has heard) only on Bluray?
I look forward to reading your reply.
Joe – Marybeth (March 8 at 11:12a.m. pst) ought to grow up don’t you think?
I shoulda known that I’d be wrong -the whole Daniel/Adria thing showed me what a horrible fortuneteller I was. Like the opposet of Cassandra – I’m always wrong, but people think I’m right. Dunno why…
I want to point to people who demand the details of Torri Higginson’s contract: actors’ contracts vary, and depend on which period in a show’s lifespan they are signed. It’s possible, even probable, that Amanda Tapping’s and Jewel Staite’s contracts specify their number of episodes while TH has the standard initial series contract that specifies the number of seasons she’s obligated to do but not the number of eps per season. If this is the case than the writers can’t know the definite number until the rest of Season 4 is written.
This is just an informed guess; I don’t have insider information. These contracts are private documents and no one involved is obligated to reveal the details. It’s possible that Torri Higginson doesn’t want her business affairs divulged all over the internet.
VM
Hi Joe, your probably not all that interested but I thought I would give you the perspective of a fan who watched the rest of season 3 disliking what they had heard about the rumours but really wanting to believe that the changes would be for the best. I’ll admit when i heard about Beckett (hated that) and then Weir (hated it less) leaving I was really unhappy but I thought I’ll give it a chance, it might work, I ‘ve never been the biggest Carter fan but i don’t despise her.
Then i watched the end of Season 3, and as hard as I tried my interest in Stargate Atlantis ended with Sunday. Now i would never have said Beckett was my favourite, but watching it and then the other episodes I realised why i’ve lost interest. I loved the team, the relationships, the characters as a unit. Guest characters are fine but it’s the core of the show I loved and with the axing of these two characters the show is changed. It is less than it was, and that was brought home to me by two things. Vengance which frankly had a large Carson shaped hole right through the middle and secondly by the new characters Keller and I can’t even remember the name of the Apollo’s captain. I just couldn’t work up any enthusiasm, they were there, they were okay, but i didn’t care – my interest was gone. Now I’m sure loads loved it and I hope that next season you get lots of new viewers, but I think you’ll be losing loads as well. For the changes to have worked for me they would have had to have grabbed me right from the minute you killed Beckett and shouted Yes, it’s bad but the show is going to get better. It didn’t, it was more of the same, only it’s less enjoyable now.
I will however continue to be an avid reader of your blog, trust me the entertainment value of this and the comments you get are better than even the best Stargate episode.
Hi Joe! I figure that since you’re answering all questions, I may as well try:
What is the plot for the episode Reunion?
Is there a good chance that we will see Beckett at some point in season 4?

I take it you’re a fan of the performer who did that at that convention in London.
So was I at the time. I was one of the people getting angry on this person’s behalf on Gateworld.
Am I a fan now? Not so much.
And if I really wanted to be childish, I’d mention the person’s name. But those with a memory know who I’m talking about anyway.
To anonymous who’s talking about someone needing to grow up, take into account that some of the Shanks fans are rumored to have sent death threats when they wanted to get him back.
I’m not seeing that here. All I’m seeing is people rationally trying to get an answer about why their favorite character is recuring, probably never to be seen again.
Personally, mine is gone and has been gone since Sunday. Carson was my big reason for watching, not because he was the only character he liked, but because I liked the anticipation of watching to see how he’d fit into a story.
I’m not interested now that he’s gone, so I can see why the Weir fans are saying they’ll stop watching. I’ve already stopped. Lots of my friends have, too.
Rob Cooper is coming to the Vancouver Creation Con in a couple weeks. Any chance you’ll stop by as well?
Will he be able to spill the beans on RDA being in the movies?

Hello Joe
how hard will it be to reslove the sam/jack ship when RDAs participation is not guaranteed and O’neill is becoming less prevalant in the franchise?
Also do you regret not having o’neill in Unending?
much respect and thanks
I feel so disillusioned seeing all the comments about people not watching because of Weir, because it means that we feel we’ve lost any possible fight to keep her.
My passion for this show died when Carson did. So many people can’t be wrong. It makes me sad that for so many of us, a show that could have gone on for a long time is over by the end of season three.
Personally, I can’t stand Teyla as a character. I find her to be stereotypically ‘hot alien’. I find nothing relatable in her. I do find it easier to relate to a character like Elizabeth. So many women will turn off because SGA is becoming that sort of stereotypical show where all tptb think the fans want is women with big boobs and small tops.
Granted Amanda Tapping won’t be dressed in that way, but we’ve all seen her photos, especially the ones draped in the American flag. She knows that sex sells, and she has no problem using that to her advantage.
Torri should have done the same thing…. maybe then she’d be seen as being of value to this franchise. The thing is, it’s not who she is. And the last thing she’d be is a sellout.
Hi Joe,
Could you maybe try to explain one more time that you can’t defend or explain your decision about Weir without hurting someone’s feelings and that maybe her fans should take a hint and stop asking?
Or, you could just keep talking about lunch. That works, too.
I was browsing GateWorld and decided to drop by your blog. I noticed that you have a blog for every single day and I must ask out of complete wonder and bewilderment: How do you do it?!?
(Also, while I’m at it, I’m a huge Stargate fan and your contribution to those two marvelous series is greatly appreciated.)
