Heard word back on the Stargate Atlantis movie script from two fronts – creative and business – and both responses were overwhelmingly positive. Some confusion (not surprised given the complexity of the story), so we’ll make a point to streamline and clarify in the next draft. Some great preliminary notes from Carl who missed two reunion scenes (looking over the script, I tend to agree) and likes the idea of including a quiet scene for “these two characters”, even going so far as to pitch out a version I liked a lot. Also received a casting suggestion that would turf the unknown Koenig in favor of someone a little more familiar. Discussions on the brass tacks of the production upcoming in June and with it, I’m hoping, finally, production dates.

Today, I took about an hour to jot down my ideas for that SF show we’ll (hopefully) be dong as a comic book series: our theme, moral conflict, major arcs, character breakdowns, and even how I envision the series, and our characters, ending. We’ll be pitching our vision later this week and I’m feeling very good about the project itself and its chances for success.

Back in the jungles of Stage 1 tomorrow…

Today’s entry is dedicated to birthday gal Chevron 7.

Mailbag:

Goliath writes: “So Marty G. is writing more episodes of SGU than you? I thought you were the staff writer? Is he technically a “freelancer” now? I don’t understand all the differences here.”

Answer: When all is said and done, Martin and I will end up writing the same number of scripts: 2. Before the season kicked off, we all gathered together and spun the first ten(ish episodes). He landed an early episode. I landed a later episode. Since his episode was earlier in the schedule, he got his in first and, as a result, was given a story idea that Exec. Producer Rob Cooper had pitched out. I finished my episode, Space, which was much later in the schedule, then switched gears to work on the Stargate Atlantis movie. With that done, I spent some time pitching out some ideas that didn’t really go anywhere but it looks like I’ll be writing episode 19 that Exec. Producer Brad Wright had a terrific idea for the other day.

PG15 also writes: “So, theoretically I can hire an agent, try to get invited to a pitch as an innocent freelancer, be successful at getting invited (somehow), receive all the up-to-date info on SGU, leave the country to hide from the authorities, and then spread the info across the Internet at my undisclosed, foreign location?”

Answer: Theoretically, yes.

PG15 also writes: “Your answer to my second question aides me on my quest to piece together Season 1 of SGU; it is a great quest, full of peril, danger, and inconvenience. […]

Anyways, everything up to “Faith”, 113, seems clear cut except for the maelstrom that is Fire vs. Water vs. new episode. […] But wait! There’s more! You said that Peter DeLuise was directing Darkness and Light! But the only episode he directed this year, so far, was Fire! […] In addition, one of the actors recently twittered that they were shooting some extra scenes (or the last scenes) for…wait for it…FIYAH!! […] Episode 13 is Faith, episode 14 is unknown, and episode 15 belongs to Marty G. You just denied Darkness being episodes 16 nor 17, which means that Darkness can only be episodes 18, 19, or 20, while Light can be those episodes, as well as episode 17. […] Thus, only one thing makes sense:

Fire, being so over the time limit, was split into 2 episodes. Those 2 episodes were renamed Darkness and Light.

Question: Am I right?”

Answer: Yes, you are. Congratulations, Columbo.

StellaByStargate writes: “I’ve noticed when deleted scenes are included on a DVD that they are often low in visual quality. While I understand why visual and sound effects may be missing, I’m always baffled by the grainy and dark quality of the scenes, as I assume they were shot with the intention of being included in the episode/movie.”

Answer: True but deleted scenes are rarely completed. They usually aren’t color-corrected and the visual effects are incomplete.

Airelle writes: “When you go to Fuel, (you) do you make a reservation, or can they usually seat you.?”

Answer: I call ahead and play it safe. When Martin comes back in June, we’ll definitely call ahead. As Martin pointed out, he wants to give the gang as much time as possible to prepare.

Rose writes: “- will there be a romantic scene for teyla and john in the movie?

– will there be scenes on earth and in US-towns?”

Answers: 1. As I responded to similar questions in the past, it’s very tough to have a romantic scene with John and Teyla so long as Kanaan is around. Are you suggesting he watch the baby while his wife goes out on a date? Maybe they’re Athosian swingers?

2. There will be scenes on Earth.

JoanieC writes: “ For instance when you are writing ( script/story) do you know the ending before you write the beginning?”

Answer: Always. Here at Stargate, we have the entire episode mapped out (outlines detailing each scene and beats within each scene) before we sit down to write the script. All of the writers take part in the “breaking” of each episode. In the case of the short story I just finished, I knew what the general story would be, I knew the opening scene, and I knew the final scene – it was just a matter of winding my way toward that final goal. Along the way, the pieces fell into place.

Trekkiegirlt writes: “One re-occuring theme that I don’t know how to take: Justin Timberlake.”

Answer: Lulu finds him “dreamy”.

Deeinsouthafrica writes: “Somehow I knew that Kris was going to get the title – Cute ex-missionary type vs. a sexual enigma from Hollywood wearing eyeliner?”

Answer: Yep, I saw it coming as well. Even though Adam was the significantly better singer.

Major D. Davis writes: “If O’neill died in one of the loops in the episode of Window Of Opportunity, what would happen? When the loop started again would he come back to life?”

Answer: Yep.

Thornyrose writes: “The links are appreciated, and I can hardly wait for Tuesday’s posting. Figure you’ll slide in a predone book review Monday, and then let us know how your experience was at the musical. Do have fun…”

Answer: Don’t hold your breath! We’re not going to see the show until some time in June.

Sarah Lee writes: “It’s my 20th birthday tomorrow! Can you give a shout out on your blog please?”

Answer: Sure thing. Just remind me tomorrow.

  1. June? Drats. I was looking forward to your account of Alter Boyz for some slightly needed cheer. I’ve checked out some youtube clips of the show, and all I can say is if you survive with any scrap of sanity you’re a better person than I. I’m also excited that we may be getting close to a production date. I’ve already got people asking me about my next Stargate Party. I promise to hold it when the Atlantis movie is released. The more “heads up” time I have the more goodies I can gather and prepare for the celebrations.
    @PG-14. Evil. I like the way you think. If you accomplish your hypothetical coup, make sure to charge people for the “first dibs exclusive”. Though if you managed to make it that far “inside” you’d not be able to resist the lure of being on of the insiders. After all, you get that far and you’ve got a shot at the next Chocolate Party. Much funner than fleeing the country and gaining a few days of infamy and fame.
    Looking forward to the book discussion tomorrow, though circumstances may keep me from posting till Tuesday. Thanks for the mailbag, and especially the look into Lulu’s idea of “dreamy”.

  2. Maybe they’re Athosian swingers?

    Ok, I totally cracked up at that one. 😀

    Glad to hear about the SGA script and the comic book!

  3. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I AM THE GREATEST! THE GREATEST!!

    My quest is triumphant. I AM TRIUMPHANT!! I cracked the code, eluded the booby traps (hehehe, booby), pieced together the pieces of the puzzle, and I. AM. VICTORIOUS. THIS IS AWESOME!! VICTORY WAS MIIIINE!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

    Oh man, my life is so very sad and pathetic. Still, that was damn cool. For the first time in blog history, I managed to pool together so many small and disparate pieces and actually form a coherent whole! As a Scientist in training, this is what I live for. I love it! For my next trick, I will unify Gravity with the other three forces to create a Theory of EVERYTHING! Yes!

    And you also answered my question about what other episode you’re writing! Wonderful! Thank you for that!

    So, anyone else need a mystery to be solved? I think I’m up for anything now. ANYTHING.

    Ok, time to calm down.

    Question:

    Is Darkness before Light, or is it the other way around?

    @ Thornyrose: Who is this PG-14 that you speak of? 😛

    LOL, just kidding. You’re right, if I manage to get that far, there’s no way I’m spoiling it with such a coup; I’d instead do my best to write a great script, and win the writers over so that I may join their team. Then, I will begin updating my blog (linked through my name there; just sayin’) everyday, with snark-filled essays on Stargate information and my love of…ok, I don’t have any interests other than Stargate, so I’ll just focus on that. Yes, Stargate stuff 24/7. And life in general.

    Then, I will begin gathering followers of my own; blog regulars attracted by my insider Stargate info, but who stayed because I am just so damn entertaining and awesome (as I just proved today with my Columbo-ness).

    Meanwhile, I will begin hating Joe because, let’s face it, as the newbie writer, he will pull so many pranks on me at Bridge Studios that it’s not even funny. For me. I’m sure it’ll be hilarious for him though. Oh, but I will not fight back; I will not rise to his bait. I will bide my time, waiting, waiting, WAITING for that moment, the sweetest moment, when I can strike!

    Oh, I’d also flirt with Ashleigh a lot while I’m there.

    Then, the day will come when my army of Blog Regulars is complete. On that day, I will exact my sweet, sweet revenge on Joe by attacking this blog! My Blog Regulars will run roughshod over his, because it will be a surprise attack! I’m telling you of it now, but hopefully you’ll forget about it when it comes, which is about 5 months, 18 days, and 12 hours after I join the writing staff.

    By the end, I will have annexed this blog, and then…I’ll be done. I think I may make a sandwich, have a nap, and then go into the office the next day hoping I don’t get fired.

    YES, THE PLAN IS PERFECT!!

  4. I was watching “Bounty,” and I noticed several campaign posters on the walls of the high school recommending Peter DeLuise and Damian Kindler for class officers. Were you running for Homecoming King?

  5. Thank you for news on the SGA movie, it is most welcome!
    PS – I think Kanaan might be up for a threesome.

  6. So which one of the pups posted this Tweet? The post doesn’t say.

    stargateeggstinction

    They’re really learning to type well. Are you tutoring them or are they just naturals?

  7. Ya know…I’m hardpressed to believe that Lulu finds Justin ‘dreamy’. Sorry. Someone had to put her up to saying that…which makes me think that I now have a pretty good idea who Joe finds dreamy…

    😉

    das

  8. Oh, and Joe – pg15 and the Columbo thing?? 😆 Now I’m picturing the poor kid in a rumpled raincoat, hand to forehead, cigar wedged between his fingers, following you around, saying, “Oh, and just one more thing, sir. I almost forgot…and I’m sure it doesn’t mean anything, it’s just that I worry. It’s the little things…they bother me. See, I’m a worrier. I mean, little insignificant details – I lose my appetite. I can’t eat. My mom, she says to me, ‘you know, you can really be pain.’ ”

  9. Rose writes: “- will there be a romantic scene for teyla and john in the movie?

    – will there be scenes on earth and in US-towns?”

    Answers: 1. As I responded to similar questions in the past, it’s very tough to have a romantic scene with John and Teyla so long as Kanaan is around. Are you suggesting he watch the baby while his wife goes out on a date? Maybe they’re Athosian swingers?

    Since when has Teyla become Kanaan’s wife?. The Teyla and Kanaan relationship came out of nowhere and I can’t recall really any scenes where there seemed to have been a great deal of love between these two. They were childhood friends whose relationship changed because Teyla became pregnant, and that just happened according to Teyla, so not a great foundation for a relationship. So it’s not inconceivable that these two may find that they really don’t have an awful lot in common except that they have a child together and that’s not really enough of a reason to remain in a relationhship with someone.

    But John and Teyla’s relationship had been hinted at for over three years and I always felt that they kept their feelings from one another because fighting the Wraith was their priority. But Teyla recklessly getting pregnant sorta ended that theory. Why would Teyla want to go to Earth and leave her people behind. If she was so in love with Kanaan why didnt she just stay behind with him and her people and be content to have her family around her.

    Why does she feel Atlantis is her home and why would Kanaan want to leave his home to go to another galaxy. The whole Kanaan/Teyla relationship was confusing and out of character for Teyla imo, and I hoped the writers could see this and hopefully bring us back the Teyla who wouldnt be crushing on one man while seemingly secretly having an affair with another, or who wouldnt abandon her people particulary when she was their leader.

    The Teyla/Kanaan relationship has changed the team dynamic as well. Gone is the closeness between Teyla and her team. Gone are the wonderful warm moments between her and John, so I guess the reason you are still getting questions about John and Teyla is that fans are still hanging in there in the hope that you may give us back the wonderful Teyla we fell in love with and part of that was her interaction with John.

    So if you wish to continue this horrible lacklustre relationship with Kanaan where they have gotten married off camera then so be it. But we have already had a romantic kind of situation between John and Teyla in the scene from Search and Rescue and Kanaan was still around then. So it can be confusing when one moment the writers still hint at feelings between John and Teyla, and in the next breath act like there was never anything at all between them.

    The only reason I see Kanaan staying around is so he can serve as the babysitter, again not much of a reason to stay in a relationship. Teyla has many friends who could babysit. Mothers around the world leave their children with friends, family, babysitters while they go to work, so what is so different with Teyla’s situation. Do Athosian men just turn into babysitters when they enter a relationship. What about their work and their jobs. I would have thought that the Athosian culture was like a large family, everyone chips in to help. According to Teyla nothing changed in the Athosian culture when women became pregnant, and I would have thougt the same after the baby is born as well.

    Teyla would continue to fight the Wraith whether she had a child or not, men would continue to work whilst trusting their friends to take care of their children. Life would continue as normal but this isnt really what we have seen happen since Teyla became a mother. I guess its easier to leave Teyla with Kanaan so he can take care of Torren but sadly the whole thing has taken away one of the best parts of the show, the team dynamic, the friendships between the team, the warmth and love between the team, the warm and vibrant Teyla. I had hoped the movie would put right some of these things, sadly it seems it will not.

  10. Will we get to see more of Teyla’s Haritage in the Movie at all and possibly some more mention of her Background?

  11. It’s Memorial Day here in the USA, thanks to all the dedicated service people over the years who have volunteered their lives to keeping our freedom.

    I’m sad to say it’s also a personal memorial day, my mom passed this weekend after a long illness with bone cancer. She was tough though, outlived her diagnosis. But I’m glad she’s now at peace. She was a public school teacher. I’d appreciate thoughts for my dad, he’s 80, they were married 47 faithful years and isn’t taking the separation well.
    Thanks, Donna

  12. I’ve finally updated my blog. a very condensed version of the bollox I’ve made of things. You couldn’t make this shit up!!

    *submerges again into lurk-mode*

  13. Hi Joe,

    I’m confused about your response to Rose’s question yesterday. When did Kanaan and Teyla get married? I’m almost positive that after Robert Picardo slipped in one of his interviews in saying that she was married, it was said that it was a slip and they never got married. Rachel Luttrell has also compared Teyla to a single mom and Teyla only refers him as the baby’s father.
    Yes, there was love there to start a family, but it doesn’t mean she doesn’t have feeling for somebody else…. still. *wink*. How about them going in town just being good friends?

  14. Good to hear news about SGA movie and its progress. Have Brad and Carl shared any updates on SG-1 movie?

  15. Thanks heaps for the birthday wishes. In particular hugs to Joe for the blog dedication, Trish (loved the smilies), Tammy (I’m ageless), pg15 (I did have a good one) and Deni. Did I forget anyone? Hope not.

    I had a lovely day with family and friends. Service at the restaurant was a bit poor. We ordered Nachos without guacamole & salsa and with sour cream on the side. Should be easy you’d think, it’s just corn chips, cheese and jalapenos. Apparently not. It was smothered in sour cream so reluctantly we had to send it back for the one we ordered and therefore waited and waited. The top was really nice but the bottom row was cheeseless. Tacos & enchiladas were really good. There wasn’t anything much left.

    The conversation post-dinner was interesting. We were chatting about funny things we’ve said or done while recovering from anaesthesia. Has anyone got a story they’d like to share with the class? Me, I wasn’t worried as much about my own pain but the lady opposite me who was moaning.

    Oh I agree with everyone that says Teyla & Kanaan aren’t married. I’m sure she hasn’t mentioned it. I suppose it depends on the Athosian beliefs regarding children born to unwed parents (or whatever their ceremony is). With regard to John, maybe what happens on Earth stays on Earth. I say go for it Teyla!

    @dasNdanger – But he brought SexyBack. Plus he does look like a dog person.

    @pg15 – Sure you don’t want someone to create a tv show about a university student who accurately predicts the plots of all the latest tv shows? Sort of Psych meets Criminal Intent meets I can’t think of a college show at the moment but you get the idea.

    @drldeboer, @rose – so sorry to hear about your losses. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.

    Chev

  16. @ drideboer – Donna, so sorry about your Mother. My sincere sympathies to you and your entire family during this difficult time. A special prayer goes out for your Father. May he find peace and comfort in all the wonderful memories they created together. God be with you all.

  17. Hi Joe,

    Thanks for answering my question.

    I have an idea for an “original” tv series – but I will try to develop it into a short story first – unless of course Star Trek thought of it first!

    As for Teyla and John it was obivious that boat had sailed at the end scene of “Converson” The girl obivously does not go for the hero type. A better fit would be John and Larin – although somehow I think she might wear the pants in that relationship!

    Does Shep see some romantic action in the movie?
    In any case thanks for the movie info – I cant wait!

  18. Hey Joe,

    I may or may not have entered your dogs into the Mr. Twitterverse competition. Depending on how you feel about it, that is.

    http://mallplace.com/tweeter-wall/mr-twitter-universe

    I think I may have also accidentally entered them into the Ms. Twitterverse competition. Or not. Again, depending on how you feel about it. But seeing as how Bubba and Maximus are males and Lulu and Jelly are females, both are appropriate.

    Anyone wanting to vote for the doggies can click on my link. And lord willing the interwebz won’t let me down.

    @pg15 Are you hyped up on Wraith Enzyme? 😆 You are too funny.

    Trish 😀

  19. Ok, the dawgs have one more follower, what was the goal? 1000, by the end of the month? half way there. I think I made 499.

    Got some catching up to do on the blog, I feel so out of it, the holiday weekend has me out of sync.

  20. @ drldeboer – my prayers are with you and your dad. I lost my dad to cancer about 5 years ago, it will be 5 years this June. My mom and dad were able to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary just before he passed away. God bless you.

  21. Hey Joe, do you think it’s time to give another dog a chance on your banner? I could have a play with the ones you’ve uploaded in your posts and email you a couple of ideas if you’re interested.

    Cheers, Chev

  22. Hey there Mr M!

    Just checking in.

    Glad the SG: Extinction is coming together. Also, great to see Marty G enjoying New York, I hope his show airs here.

    I also echo : How goes the SG1 Movie in general?

    Best to all

    Shirt’n’Tie

  23. Happy Memorial Day! I appreciate all the men and women who have served, are serving and will serve!

    @drldeboer: I’m sorry for your loss. You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers.

  24. Coucou =) Vous allez bien? Moi super, cette journée est passer vite, dommage qu’il ne fasse pas beau temp. Désoler pour mon retard ce soir mais j’écrivais un message sur le facebook de Nicolas Sarkozy…je lui demander notament s’il aimait stargate? Mais je ne pense pas qu’il me répondra^^!

    Passez une bonne journée!!
    Bisou, bisou!

  25. Swingers ha ha ha…nice. I certainly hope it would never turn out like that. Gah

    I still say Larin is the gal for Sheppard.

  26. drldeboer: I am so, so sorry for your loss and my heart goes out to you and your Dad. Please know you are in our thoughts.

  27. It’s Memorial Day here, and since I don’t personally know any fallen soldiers…I figure maybe I should just give a shout-out to some of our MIAs here…

    Lisa S., green, and especially Perragrin…missing you all! I’m sure there are others whose names escape me at the moment…blame it on my ‘Dory the Fish’ syndrome. 😛

    das

  28. @ chevron7 – Don’t get me wrong, I like Justin (him, not his music). He seems like a pretty cool (and very funny) guy. It’s just that ‘dreamy’ isn’t exactly the word I’d use to describe him.

    Now, if he had long, flowing white hair perhaps… 😉

    @ pg15 – Yo…duuuude. I have some really good ‘calming’ teas. You want for me to send you some?? 🙂

    das

  29. Re Sheppard’s love life, if Teyla and McKay are unavailable (my favorite pairs for him), then I’d prefer Nancy’s return. Larrin is kinda abusive. 🙁

  30. Hi Joe!

    Thanks for the SGA: E update – what you’re not saying sounds very intriguing!

    Agreed that since Kanaan is in the picture (whether fans think he should be or not), it would be weird for Shep and Teyla to have a romantic scene. Plus, they are on the same Team and yadda yadda yadda.

    @drldeboer My sincerest sympathies and condolences on your mother’s passing. 🙁

    eddy

  31. Hi Joe,
    there are sure possibilities to make Kanaan not longer go around. It is up to your hand if you only want it;-)

  32. Hey Joe,

    as a regular reader I always came to read for Stargate comments only to now come on board to check for updates on your show. Any chance of Stargate spin off with them involved?

    ‘Stargate : The bark of truth’ maybe?

    Whats your e mail address for if we have something magical to send your diirection?

  33. @ drldeboer – My deepest sympathies to you and your family. So, so sad. Thoughts and prayers are with you all.

    Deirdre

  34. drldeboer: Condolences on your mom. My dad died in October.

    On the Teyla theme: Teyla seems to be into her people’s heritage and such. I think she would stick with the person she has made a commitment to. Especially, since he is one of her own people and the father of her child.
    Sheppard is like the Captian Kirk of Atlantis. If he was attached to one person, who would fill that role when the sexy alien comes around?

    Tam

  35. I am wondering how it works when there’s a scene involving a character smoking. (Ex: Ben Browder in The Road Not Taken) Given the laws in Canada regarding smoking around public (different in different provinces of course…) how does it work for a set? Do you have to get consent of all those working on the set that they are aware they will be around second hand smoke? What about the actors? I’m guessing it’s something that’s pitched to them and they yay or nay it given it’s their own lungs that would be taking the damage.

    Or is this all null and void as it’s fake and an effect added in post?

  36. Mr. M wrote:

    Goran Visnjic was a big fan of SG-1 and actually visited the set while in town working on Elektra. He and the cast really hit it off. We even offered him a guest spot but, unfortunately, he was unable to make it work schedule-wise.

    Can you tell us which role he was offered in which episode so we GV-fans can try to imagine him in it?

    Anne Teldy (way behind due to the usual: bad health)

  37. P.S.

    Mr. M, you said you got my letter and added “I’m on it”. Status update, please? Soon? Not looking good? Oops, I forgot but will get Ashleigh right on it?

    Anne Teldy

  38. While I agree it wouldn’t reflect well on Teyla for her to mess around with John while Kanaan babysits, to me the Teyla/Kanaan relationship seems more a necessary bi-product of the Teyla (and Rachel!) pregnancy arc than an organic evolution that unfolded on the show. IMO it would have needed to be either fleshed out or ended if the show had continued.

    So will there be romance at all in the movie? You don’t have to say between whom. We’ll all make ridiculous assumptions and outrageous demands anyway. Eg, please no McKeller! hee hee

  39. I apologize if this has been asked and answered, I just found your blog. I kind of stopped watching the show after year 3, I wasn’t a fan of all the casting changes so just caught a few episodes in year 4 and 5 but I hear a movies in development. My question is, has Weir’s story been completed or will we ever see that character again in the movies?

  40. I don’t get all the hoopla over Kris winning instead of Adam. It’s annoying, to say the least. It appears the People voted for Kris to win, not Adam. So why are the People taking it so personally that Adam didn’t win? If you ask me (and I know no one did), AI is a waste of TV.*grumble*

    Ah, more Extinction news! Exciting! Could we hear more by early June? Say, the 2nd? What a wonderful birthday goodie that would be…

  41. Joe – quick clarification about something said and/or implied in Infection“He was just a warrior drone. Look, we’ve long suspected that they spend the majority of their life under the controlling mental influence of the other Wraith. It’s not surprising that if you remove that influence, they revert to an animal state. Look, that shouldn’t happen with Todd – theoretically.”

    So, are the masked Wraith warriors capable of independent thought, or are they totally under the mind control of the more advanced Wraith? And are they completely sentient, or is that debatable?

    Thankies, sir.

    das

  42. I think in the movie you should have a Very Special Romance Montage of John and Teyla holding hands and walking around the streets of San Francisco, laughing and smiling as they point to things, sharing a milkshake, twirling around with joyous abandon, riding a cable car while laughing and pointing to things while sharing a milkshake and twirling…then cut to Kanaan sitting in a dimly lit room filled with dirty nappies as he quietly cries to himself..ahahaha!

    I was actually pleasantly suprised when I first started watching SGA because it seemed evident from the get go that John and Teyla were meant to be a romantic item as is required by TV Law, but it seemed to get very quickly dropped, as in right after the first episode, and there was no more sign of it (at least to me) until Conversion, Sunday, and Search and Rescue – and hey, look at who wrote those episodes. I’m sensing a theme. 🙂

  43. Ok Joe,
    How bout this, instead of answering my question in the mailbag we can use a complex code. If you got my email, you publish the comment. If you didn’t get my email, you don’t publish this message. Is that ok(Seriously, I say this with respect, don’t mean to be bossy).

  44. Hi Joe,
    Thanks for the offset pictures.

    I love the marine uniforms and the guns, please, publish more.

    Question

    Are we cool or are you in any way irritated or mad at me?

    Chevron 7 and all others, I really need to ask this question, I promise, this is not something I will keep doing.

    Thanks so much,
    Major D. Davis

  45. Oh and hope the comics goes well,
    By the way when will we get to see them, 09, 2010, I’m really excited to see them and your short story. Oh and I am back from the big apple, unfortunately, my dreams of running into marty g. did not come true.

  46. @ PG-15
    I find it so entertaining to witness the Winning of Internets, an activity which you have recently participated in 😀

  47. Hey Deni, great to hear from you– HI trish , joe we have our own Florida fan club , do ya want to join? @ Anne Teldy, nice to see ya back , hope ya feel better!!! cheers, Sheryl

    hey Joe, hope ur having a nice morning/afternoon/evening/night whichever it is by the time u read this. Least i got my bases covered. LOL

    Karen (aka Shanise)

  50. @Bailey RE: “PS – I think Kanaan might be up for a threesome.”

    Why the heck not! SciFi allowed them to show an implied threesome on Battlestar Galactica between two female Cylons and Baltar.

    I don’t think John’s character is like that though. He is a player, but I don’t think that much of a player. IMO.

  51. @das: RE: “Ya know…I’m hardpressed to believe that Lulu finds Justin ‘dreamy’. Sorry. Someone had to put her up to saying that”

    I’m thinking it was Brie, myself.

  52. @drldeboer: Sympathies and prayers to your family during this difficult time.

    @hayloh: I agree. Larrin and John are great together.

  53. @ PBMom – Teenagers. Such lousy taste in men.

    Old dames like me, however… WE know how to pick ’em! 😀

    Well, okay…CRAZY old dames like me who are attracted to the pale, eyebrow-challenged types may not count… 😛
