The last time I flew to Montreal, I was seated beside a guy reading a science fiction novel. The cover caught my eye and I made a mental note to check out the author the next time I found myself in a bookstore. A little over a week later, I was on a flight back to Vancouver when I happened to glance across the aisle and notice a woman reading an SF title – different book, but same author. What were the chances? THIS, I decided, was fate – just like that time I got Autumn in New York as the in-flight movie in back to back trips which made me realize I was destined to re-marry Winona Ryder. Or vacation in New York. Anyway, I made a second mental note to remember my first mental note to check out the author the next time I found myself in a bookstore. Fastforward several months to last week when I received a package in the mail. Elated, I tore it open to discover, not the expected return correspondence from Winona, but a little something from my buddy, editor Lou Anders, over at PYR. It was the latest book by THE SAME AUTHOR! Seriously, what are the chances?
Anyway, I dropped the author an email and asked her if she might be interested in doing a little Q&A in support of her book. Turns out she’d be delighted to participate. And so, it gives me great pleasure to announce January’s Book of the Month Club selection…
Diving into the Wreck, by Kristine Kathryn Rusch
From the publisher: “Boss loves to dive historical ships, derelict spacecraft found adrift in the blackness between the stars. Sometimes she salvages for money, but mostly she’s an active historian. She wants to know about the past–to experience it firsthand. Once she’s dived the ship, she’ll either leave it for others to find or file a claim so that she can bring tourists to dive it as well. It’s a good life for a tough loner, with more interest in artifacts than people.
Then one day, Boss finds the claim of a lifetime: an enormous spacecraft, incredibly old, and apparently Earth-made. It’s impossible for something so old, built in the days before Faster Than Light travel, to have journeyed this far from Earth. It shouldn’t be here. It can’t be here. And yet, it is. Boss’s curiosity is up, and she’s determined to investigate. She hires a group of divers to explore the wreck with her, the best team she can assemble. But some secrets are best kept hidden, and the past won t give up its treasures without exacting a price in blood.
What Boss finds could rewrite history, cost lives, and start an intergalactic war.”
“Tense and gripping…. The endlessly enjoyable terror of dark, alien, empty spaces brimming with unknowable danger and impenetrable mystery should keep fans of the genre hooked.” —Internet Review of Science Fiction
“Rusch takes the dangers inherent in deep sea diving and memorably puts them into the deep dark vacuum of space, making the exploration of the hulk a much more complicated issue than tends to be the case in the SF.” —Best SF Reviews
It’s an intriguing synopsis, the reviews are great, you have plenty of time to read the book, AND, to top it off, the author also happens to be a Stargate fan. So, when the time comes, in addition to asking her about the novel and whether or not she can introduce us to Winona Ryder, you can also get her SF expert take on things SG-1, Atlantis and/or Universe.
Discussion the week of January 11, 2010 – with author Kristine Kathryn Rusch.
A gentle reminder (please, don’t make me resort to a not-so-gentle reminder that will involve my taking a hickory switch to your bare calf) to finish up this month’s BOTMC pick, Emissaries from the Dead, by Adam-Troy Castro, as it will be up for discussion next week. Also, remember to pick up December BOTMC selection, The Misenchanted Sword, by Lawrence Watt-Evans, well in advance of its discussion on the week of December 8th.
On the SGU front: a third day down and another story broken. We are zipping along! I figure that at this rate, we should have season 2 and most of season 3 broken by the time I’m Tokyo-bound.
Tune in tomorrow for my thoughts on the stretch-run to the mid-season break.
Today’s entry is dedicated to Arctic Goddess.
AG…..sorry to hear about Tigger. See you in LA.
@ Arctic Goddess…
I too am sorry to hear about Tigger! I too love cats and hope your heart heals somewhat soon! Did your son make it home in time to say good bye to him? I hope so!
Take care!

Oooh! January’s BotM sounds like something from the world of Firefly! So psyched! I think I’ll as for it for Christmas…
@Arctic Goddess: I’m so sorry. 🙁
Whoa there… wait until y’all get feedback from Season 1 before you go finalizing season 2!!! You might need to think of a way to bring back a character you decide to kill! 😉
Hey Joe,
Sweet dedication. Pets quickly become members of the family. When my son was young, he had gerbils that he named after characters in my book. But we had Pedee the cat who loved to just sit and watch the gerbils. They were safely tucked inside a covered fish tank. Pretty much cat proof.
I heard crying upstairs one day and went to Chris’ room. There he was pointing at a very guilty looking Pedee and saying “We don’t eat family members!” Pedee had successfully pushed the tank to the floor and the gerbils went scurrying. One obviously not so fast. It was Tuk. Chris loved Tuk and Pedee. But his sweet lecture in trying to teach a cat…warmed my heart and I knew that Chris would grow up to be a good man.
Best to you Joe,
Cheryl 🙂
P.S. Sorry for the story, you inspired me.
🙁
I left a big reply with my thoughts on your thoughts for yesterday’s blog and it hasn’t appeared! 🙁
Don’t you love my thoughts? 🙁
So… dumb question: You are discussing breaking stories for season two, and just mentioned season three. As I am assuming you have not yet been renewed for number two, much less number three, are you just that excited to break new stories? I guess my question is what do showrunners do when they/you are not… you know… running a show?
howdy! im new to your blog (i found it through sgu of course), but i just had to comment. as a longtime sci fi fan albeit a newbie to the stargate franchise i just wanted to let you know that i think sgu is one of the best shows on
tv right now. contrary to what others may have said here or elsewhere previously i think everyone has done a spectacular job on the show. i was sucked into the story and the characters from the first few minutes and the writing and acting has only gotten better as the episodes have gone by. fridays now can never come soon enough for me and i have to say im dying for the next episode.
*****SPOILER WARNING*******
i do have a couple questions for you as well if youre game to answer them. i found another board out there that discusses sgu and happily found that i was not the only one who thought there was something going on between tj and young. i really gotta say those two did a marvelous job as actors of capturing the subtlety of the interactions between two people who have an intimate past. theres just a certain way two people relate to each other physically and otherwise when theyve “gone there” either physically or emotionally. i was wondering if you were thinking of doing q&a’s with the actors with some of our questions. id love to ask louis in particular (loooove him!!!) what he was thinking as young during the scene in light where he was playing with his wedding ring and crying. his wife? tj? the muddled situation with them both? or perhaps he doesnt work method like that. also im curious to know what if any discussion was had in the writers room regarding tj and young. im quite curious about behind the scenes story process.
and another thing ive heard on other boards is that the actress who plays tj, im sorry ive forgotten her name, is expecting a baby. first off congrats to her, but second, might the destiny be hearing the pitter patter of little feet in the future be they tj’s or no? surely they didnt pack contraceptives in their emergency gear or at least not enough to last long. i think the pregnancy question is an interesting one considering their circumstances on the destiny and i do hope that such long-term survival issues such as having children to re-populate is addressed in some manner in sgu. any discussions on that one in the writers room?
also just to let you know even though im sure you may already be expecting it, theres predictions of a crapstorm of controversy expected round the boards regarding the next ep, earth, and the young/telford body swapping issue with regards to young’s wife, so gird yourself. first off, kudos to you guys for going there (if you actually do and the rumors are true) and addressing whats clearly an obvious possible use for the stones (we all know human nature). whats great about sci fi is that it asks difficult but interesting questions about humanity and it appears you guys may be going there in the next ep. if so, keep it up! we need more thought provoking and challenging writing in tv sci fi.
well what was intended as a brief post turned into something far longer than id expected. im rabidly awaiting fridays ep and keeping my fingers crossed that you guys “went there” with the stories this season and made them challenging and controversial and thought-provoking. and of course my fingers are crossed for not only season 2 but dozens beyond. i feel that sgu really has the potential to be a watershed show in sci fi tv history and unlike bsg (sadly) possibly be lauded for its writing and acting during awards season. if theres ever a question with the writers, producers, or the network over whether to “go there” or not, i just wanna say totally “go there” and make us work for it unlike most other tv shows out there. its about friggin time.
so, thanks for doing such a great job and keep it up. and tell louis he friggin rocks!
Sound like a interesting book you chosen this time, will have to see if I can fine it at the local Library or buy it online.
I also would just like to lend my support for little famous rant at fans who insult the characters or actors on SGU, I 100% agree with what you said.
Good day to you Joe, thanks for the videos on how they did it behind the scenes, always fun to see. Wondered about it, just thought it was magic or osmosis. How is Maximus? Do the other pups leave him alone to recoup? Enjoy your day!!
@articgoddess, sorry to hear about your kitty, it is never easy and they will always be with you.
Winona Ryder? Who do you think you are, mister? Johnny Depp?
Hey, maybe your destined to re-marry Lou Anders! 😀
Have a beautiful day, sir!

@ Artic Goddess, my condolences. It’s a cruel twist of fate that our favored companions can only be with us a fraction of our lifetimes. It’s worse when you have to make the horrible decision to end their suffering.
January BotM club looks fantastic. For once, the big box book store came through and I’m starting on this month’s read. Even managed to get Stover’s third Caine novel. Now to get the second one so I can read them in order…
Newest household member had her first visit to the vet today, and has a staple to serve as a temporary souvenier. At least no more worries about hordes of squirming puppies in the future. Never knew a dog could look so miserable and make me feel so guilty before. She got her revenge during the night by leaving me sleeping in an awkward position, as I was unwilling to force her to move.
Thanks for the early heads up on the BotM club and good luck on the season two work.
Hah! I have finished this month’s BotM book and thereby dodged the hickory switch. Now if I can dodge the H1N1 flu…

Ooh, that book sounds good. Of course, my libraries don’t have it and another round of passed levies means an affordable Netflix for books won’t happen this year. 😛
I’ll send them a note to pick it up, but I may just get desperate enough to buy it. I could afford it if I slash the vitamins from the budget and let my kids eat more vegetables, but then they might get spoiled and think they get fresh food every month.
Maybe Stranger in a Strange Land will keep me occupied until a library gets it.
Joe – the BOTMC selection for January sounds fantastic. Looking forward to reading it.
PBMom – Your post yesterday was sobering. You can’t defend yourself against people who can attack anonymously. So, I don’t see how they won given that underhanded advantage. I post semi-anonymously for reasons of protection – like many people do. But discussing politics openly in the US these days is a tough thing to do. You can leave yourself wide open to all sorts of stuff. I think you were incredibly brave to do it. Most people don’t have the ‘nads for that and it’s admirable that you do.
maggiemayday – go to Vancouver and check out the art scene and/or bars. Follow Joe’s culinary adventures if you can afford to. Victoria is very beautiful but it ain’t no Burning Man.
My libraries do have it. I was using Rusch as a title search. Since it’s larger in the text treatment on the cover, I thought that was the title.

@Joe:
Season 3, you say? By the time you’re Tokyo-bound, you say? Ah, that’s what we love about you, ever the optimist! Of course it was clearly an exaggeration on your part, but I won’t tell myself that. Instead, I’ll simply envision five seasons of SGU at my doorstep. Yes, five should do quite nicely.
Oh, and because no comment on your blog is complete without mention… several SG-1/Atlantis telefilms, too. 😛
@Gilder, et al:
Wow, several Floridians ’round this blog. Nice. Whereabouts is Jupiter, though? *looks it up* …oh, okay. Pretty far from me.
My girlfriend and I plan on living in the Vancouver, BC area (or at least Washington) within a couple of years’ time, so hopefully I’ll update it then. And no, Joe, it isn’t a move across the continent to stalk you, although incidentally it has everything to do with you. Go figure. I want to be in the area because it’s a lovely region and is prime for actors. Which I (sort of) am; all sorts of productions back in high school. I want to move up to it being a secondary job and, ideally, someday a primary source of income. Oh, and television writing is my tertiary potential passion, after acting and archaeology, so we’ll see what comes of it all.
Goodness, I do tend to rant sometimes without provocation.
Have you ever had foie gras chocolate?

Kristine Kathryn Rusch is a superstar. I subscribe to analog and asimov’s, and I am always waiting for the next KKR novella – she is easily my favorite medium-length sci fi author.
The book does sound interesting, but Amazon indicates that it won’t be released until November 24, which sucks.
Thank you for the book recommendation Mr. M! I’ll look that one up at Amazon, since our library will probably not have it. Amazon shipped the Misenchanted Sword, so it should be here soon. Can’t wait!
For all those Memphis/Mississippi people, isn’t it wonderful how the new Memphis Mayor is doing something about the Animal Shelter? I’m hoping charges are pressed against the supervisors soon: http://www.wmctv.com/Global/story.asp?S=11440734
I’ve been hearing stories come out of there for years but all the complaints have been ignored. Sad.
On a more positive note: cherluvya that was a good story!
Also, Mr. M., all the crew are living on gruel. I would be losing weight, bigtime, without all my snacks. Will that be shown in the actors? You know, like Tom Hanks did in “Castaway”?
Thanks,
T
cat4444: Try this link for the book: http://www.amazon.com/Diving-Wreck-Kristine-Kathryn-Rusch/dp/1591027861/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1257437813&sr=1-1
It shows that it’s available. I’ve had that happen before on Amazon. I’ll find it for two different prices or something.

Folks, I’ve had a good night’s sleep, so be ready for a ramble! 😀
@ Michelle – In the shower this morning, I got to thinking again about ‘falling in love’ with a character.
First off, I do tend to be a fan of the character, not the actor. For instance, I love Mad Max – he’s my favorite ‘I wanna grow up to be JUST like that’ character, ever, EVER! But I’m not a fan of Mel Gibson. To me, they are two separate entities. However, I DO acknowledge that it was Gibson who made Max cool and appealing, and I cannot imagine any other actor in that role. Still, when I am talking about my love for Mad Max, I do mean just the character, and not the actor.
That said, there are a few actors I love, regardless. I’ve said their names on occasion here before – Cary Grant, Humphrey Bogart, Myrna Loy, Johnny Depp, Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman and Meryl Streep – I just like them, apart from their characters. The fact that about half of them are already dead tells ya how picky I am when it comes to actors! There are others, of course – like Chris Heyerdahl – but in this example I’m thinking more along the lines of the A-listers, and not the character actors. If I got into the character actors, forget it – my list would go on forever, with Peter Lorre leading the way (I love him so much, I named a cat after him – if you pulled back her ears, her eyes bugged out and she looked just like him, so I named her Lorre. 😀 ).
God, I’m rambling…warned ya!
So…when it comes to characters/actors – why don’t I take to the handsome, GQ modelish kinda guy, but instead fall head over heels for the eyebrow-challenged green fella with extra nostrils on his face??! It makes no sense…except…
1. Facial expression. Even underneath all that make-up, no one in all of Atlantis had the facial expressions of Steve the Wraith – not even Todd (though he’s a close second with that charming smile/head tilt combo of his 🙂 ). Steve snarled, he smiled, he glared, he gawked, he huffed, he did everything…but the best? He pouted! Best pout of any character I’ve ever seen, in anything. He should have won an award for that. Kudos to James Lafazanos for doing all he did with such a limited role.
What of the other Wraith? Well, Chris is exceptional as Todd – but I’ll get back to him later. Tyler McClendon – who portrayed the Wraith in Broken Ties, Kenny the Wraith, and others – had good expression, too – probably the best ‘WTF’ look of ’em all. Very important since the Wraith are supposed to be pissy and arrogant, and none should be even slightly amused by the humans (except Todd, because that’s his thing. 🙂 ).
And then there’s Sheppard. Let’s face it, Sheppard’s character was a bit of an ass…sarcastic, arrogant, and controlling…not the kinda guy you’d wanna be married to. So, what really made the character appealing? What made the fangirls swoon? Well, it was Flanigan’s facial expressions – his puppy eyes and those ‘oops, I’m sorry about that’ looks he always gave. Oh, don’t forget that devilish smirk, and expressive body language that told us what was going on in the inside, even when the script didn’t make it all that clear (I think of the scene at the end of Infection, where Sheppard’s words to Woolsey would indicate disinterest in Todd’s condition, while his body language suggested true concern). Yup, Flanigan took an obnoxious character and made him likeable.
Same holds true with Rodney. Another obnoxious character softened by an expressive actor.
Anyone like that in Universe? Any actors who are adding character to their roles through facial expression and body language? Sure – first one that comes to mind is Rush. Carlyle just brings so much passion to his role, and much of that is shown through his facial expressions, and physical movements.
Eli/David Blue is another one who uses his expressions well. This gives the character dimension, shape – and that all helps to make him more real to us, the viewer. We want to see depth, and that depth isn’t always presented straightforward in the script. Expression is vital because it tells us the unspoken part of the story, and makes us sympathetic towards the characters we are watching, and we need that sympathy if we are to connect.
2. Another thing that attracts me to an actor, that helps me fall in ‘love’ with him, is that all-important voice. Yup – saved Chris for this one! Despite being a very expressive actor – Chris just has the greatest voice, ever! I don’t even have to go into his ‘John Sheppaaaards’, or that throaty chuckle of Todd’s, we all know exactly what I’m talking about. But it’s not just the tone of his voice, but how he uses it – the change in tempo, in pitch, in power…always fluctuating, depending on the point he’s trying to get across. Sometimes it’s just a voice that can win me over.
So, who in Universe has that sort of voice? First, Greer. There is so much subtle expression in his voice – sometimes it purrs, sometimes it growls, sometimes it teases…and everytime it gets my attention! It makes me want to pay attention to what he’s saying…and certainly to hear it again!
I really should shut up now – but that’s what it’s all about for me – that’s what makes me fall for a character. The body language, the facial expressions, and the voice. Appearance means nothing if you can’t ‘sell’ yourself to the audience. A good actor makes love to the camera, but in such a way that only the subconsious eye and ear of the viewer is aware of it. Why do we fall in love with certain characters? Most of us could never really put a finger on it, so we go for the obvious – ‘he/she looks good!’ But it’s often something else – something much different – that really steals our heart. For me, it’s what I’ve noted above. An actor who knows how to use his expression, body, and voice to tell the story, and not just relying on the spouting off of lines from a pretty face.

(I’m sure there are typos, etc. – but I really don’t feel like proofreading. 😛 )
The January BOTM looks very appealling. I’m off to find it now, another trip to the book store (as if I need an excuse, I was just there yesterday). The author is not one I’m familiar with, so I’m exciting to read learn of a new author.

@ Arctic Goddess
Honey, I’m so sorry for your loss. I am a HUGE animal lover as you will know by reading my posts. I’ve lost cats and dogs before, and it’s heart breaking. I love them as much as I would kids. I lost my most beloved black lab, Earnhardt, the dog of my heart and soul in January 2003 and the grief is no less today then it was then. I miss him every hour of every day.
My thoughts and prayers and deepest sympathies are with you…. may healing come to you and may you smile through your tears with the pleasant memories. *big huge hug*
Yes! I’m obsessed! 😛

@artdogspot Thank you for your kind words.
SPOILERS
I finally was able to sit down and make some notes about Water.
1. The theme for Eli this episode was “grow up.” He had Col Young telling him to clean his room; Rush berating him for acting like a child. I loved the machine “he” invented (i.e., kudos to whoever thought that up on the writing end). I was curious what other attempts at flying Eli has tried.
2. I found the “Empire Strikes Back–I refuse to call it episode 5” kind of ironic. If one considers that the 2-hour premiere of Air was 1 episode, then Water, ironically is episode 5, but some would insist it is episode 6.
3. I love seeing TJ smiling more. It was a great episode for her character to shine.
4. The suits: Questions: How heavy were those suits? In seeing the videos you posted of Lt Scott and Col Young in those suits, it looks like they weren’t speaking. When they have helmets like that on, do they have to do voiceovers later?
5. Sweet homage paid to Abyss with the alien entity being able to create faces.
6. I know the tensions between military and civilians will heat up (read Stargate Magazine). I like that Col Young isn’t sure who he can trust, and that Eli has a line where he feels there is a difference between YouTube like creations and spying.
7. Note to everyone: If aliens ever show up to our planet, do not shoot at the aliens. As they said in “Independence Day” it might cause an intergalatic incident.
8. The face attack of Gorham by the alien entity: My husband’s favorite part, especially since it was the night before Halloween. He said, “SWEET!”
9. This was Eli’s first alien encounter. I imagine I would think about “Alien” the movie, too. I’d be freaking out myself.
10. Another funny (as in irony) moment: Just when Lt Scott says, “We deserve a break,” the break in the ground occurred.
11. Enjoyed the Chloe/Scott/James scenes. It was very mature for James to reach out to Chloe to share some bad news; on the flip side, when Scott recovers, I wonder how Chloe is going to feel knowing there was another woman shortly before her.
12. Enjoyed the part where Scott apologized to Col Young for falling into the crevasse. Just a few days before, I sat in a dentist’s chair apologizing for swallowing and for making the dentist have to give me more numbing agent.
13. Love the continued character development. I wonder if Spencer was a member of Telford’s team and that is why he has no respect for Col Young. I also wonder if he has a drug addiction problem, which might explain his problems. The thought of a Greer/Spencer boxing match is appealing, although that was done in BSG and you might be accused of copying.
14. The visual effects and photograph: Continue to outdo themselves each week. I want that picture of the sky where Col Young looks up on my laptop as a background. Movie quality stuff.
15. The music, too, is movie-quality level. More personal bests.
My compliments to all involved. Can’t wait until tomorrow evening.
Coucou Joseph!!! ça va bien?
Moi oui =) j’ai passer une éxélente journée, mais je suis impatiente d’être à ce week end et de voir le prochain épisode de sgu!

@das — I think I just realized why your ‘name’ sounds/looks? so familiar. It’s the Hornblower connection — did you spend anytime at horatians.org?

I had clever things to say, but am watching the news about the Ft. Hood shootings. This breaks my heart.
@ deeinsouthafrica – Ah, yes! Well-familiar with Johnny Clegg – both with Juluka and Savuka. I don’t think I have an individual CD, but have him on one or two of my collections, and my niece (ladyhgiggles here) is a big fan, too…I think it’s my niece. Somebody in the family who lend me a CD or two in the past. 😛
@ Fiori – Yes!! I actually started out (on the net, etc) on A&E’s Hornblower forums back in 2001, then moved over to horatians when the A&E forums slowed down. I was on horatians for a bit, then moved on when my interests changed to other things (I tend to do that…). I recently re-joined because I needed to get in touch with one of my friends (LtGrace/Michele), and wasn’t sure which e-mail addy was good. LtGrace lives just a couple hours away, and we like to get together somewhere in between for a day of shopping, and gushing about silly stuff. 😀 I’m hoping she is able to get to Ft. Mifflin this year for the Seige re-enactment – Jo (is Jo – Crazed Ferret still around?) is one of the re-enactors for the Pennsylvania Navy – a real hoot she is!

Ok, I’ve ARGH! loaded ARGH! both December and ARGH! January’s books ARGH! WILL YOU QUIT WITH THE WHIPPING?!
I finished off the Sookie Stackhouse series last night coming off the back of the full Dresden Files series. Ok, so I’m not exactly submerging myself in books of literary acclaim, but they were fun! I put down my Reader last night, gave my Husband a sad look and said, “I just finished the 9th and final book.”. His comment, “WELCOME BACK TO THE LIVING!” (nice unintentional pun on his behalf may I say)
If I ever find my Reader kidnapped or mysteriously broken into a 1,000 pieces, I know who suspect Number 1 will be.
Das – Re my comment yesterday. No, not recently. A few years ago. Just feels like yesterday it happened.
Das – Do I need to put my name on this roll call? Figured where I was from was a bit of a no-brainer 😉
Hope all from Texas are safe and well.
Update on the LHC. Was shut downt by Bread crumb.
http://dvice.com/archives/2009/11/no-joke-large-h.php
>> we should have season 2 and most of season 3 broken
That’s great news. Good to hear.
Ah the author is a Scifi fan? I guess I’ll have to ask her opinion on all 3 shows in a strangely put question and at the same time show my respect for her work. Kinda like how I aimed a question at John Twelve Hawks on here ages ago. I’ll look forward to that.
I’ll probably forget mind you lol

@ das: I think Eli is my favorite SGU character because of his great facial expressions. I’ll have to go back and rewatch the SGA episodes with Steve, don’t think I noticed the first time around as the Wraith really creeped me out at first.

RE: Joe Flanigan and acting
I agree that Joe Flanigan has done a great job playing Sheppard. But, I also think that there have been some great moments that were written for the character’s softer side. In season 2, he and Teyla were on the Daedalus, and she was the one that he chose to open up to by telling her that the team were like a family to him, and that he would die for any one of them. I thought that was great.
I think that he was a little snippy with her season 4, but I just attributed it (correctly or incorrectly) to him being (subconsciously or well-knowing and hiding it) mad that she was with someone else and baby wasn’t his. Just my thoughts here folks.
I think everyone that has read my past posts knows that I would be happy to see them get married. Teyla & John together. (*fingers still crossed*)
Peace & Love,
j

@Joe: Hope the roll call is not annoying you. It’s YOUR blog; let us know if we should desist.
@das: See above. Thanks for volunteering, but maybe we should limit the consolidating update to once per 12 hours.
Also, das, glad to see the Crossing remains a holiday tradition! I think my family went once, when I was too small to appreciate. Have some vague memories of Washington Crossing State Park in the snow.

J: To me, it seems Sheppard flirts with ALL women. I bet he would act that friendly toward any female no matter what age. I’ve known a few guys like that and they are fun to hang around with :D.
I like the way Flanigan plays him. Das described it perfectly.
Plus, Teyla seems pretty happy with her man. I guess we will just have to wait for the movie to find out for sure, though.

Okay – Not that it really matters, but it was season 3 that I was talking about. I keep thinking that the episode was Runner, but it was Sateda. Great Ep. I just remembered that now.
Peace & Love,

@Glider & @Das…may be we should just all add to our screen names where are are from… see above… what do you all think? THOUGHTS?
Cheers
@Arctic Goddess: I’m very sorry to read about your loss. A little over a year ago, I had to do the same thing. Knowing that it was the right thing didn’t really help at the time. – Hoping another wonderful pet will come into your life as soon as may be.
@maggiemayday: Read you loud and clear about Fort Hood.

Hey Tammy – I still have my fingers crossed, but you’re more than likely right about the movie. I know guys like what you’re talking about, but I’m still not sure that that is Sheppard. Plus, the scene I was talking about wasn’t flirting. But, as you say, Teyla is probably getting on well with Kanaan.
But I can still hope, can’t I? (*g*)
Peace & Love,
j

@Joe: What do you think of Patricia Lee’s suggestion?
“@Glider & @Das…may be we should just all add to our screen names where are are from… see above… what do you all think? THOUGHTS?”
Are there any potential tech problems for those who post with the “Guest” or “Anonymous” options?
I’d still like to see how many names we get before tomorrow night’s SGU broadcast. I’d also like to sort the list by location and re-post, to promote real-world gatherings like the planned Florida one. Hey, did y’all know I found my bath designer through the fandom?
As a book fiend I’m traumatised every time you do a book club book – most of the books you suggest sound really really interesting, but being in New Zealand the local library usually doesn’t have it, neither do most book stores and having books shipped via Amazon is expeeeeensive 😮 Anyway, sounds like a good read!

Hey Joe, has the response to the first few episodes of Stargate Universe by fans had any noticeable impact on the spinning of Season 2 episodes?
