Maybe it should be top ten.

(Scott walks close by and calls out.)

SCOTT: T.J.

Odd but enjoyable sensation while going through the questions – was like re-watching/re-living the episodes as the questions triggered scenes to flash through the mind.

Too old. Serial whinner.

3. What substance are they looking for in Air III?
ZPMs. ZPMs fix EVERY Ancient problem!

He cut up flesh and sowed it back together… somehow convincing his family that he WASN’T Dr. Frankenstein.

5. Whose water rations does a dehydrated Rush down when he comes through the gate in Air III?
In the gateroom when he first comes through, or the twenty rations he goes through when everyones back is turned, resulting in the mass water shortage next episode?

6. What does Camile want Sharon to get rid of in Life?
The straight porno hidden in the closet.

7. What natural disaster does Lisa Park positively hate?
Her lovers saying “I think I love you.” It makes booting them out of her bed aftwards… awkward.

9. Rush earned a graduate to what prestigious university?
Hogwarts.

Can’t remember, but he seriously needs to chew his food more.

12. How does Rush choose to spend his final moments in Light?
The same way he started life: Plotting to take over the universe.

13. Who is the first one to fall sick on the planet in Time?
Rush. Admittedly, he had to travel back in time to achieve this honor, but still… points for effort.

25. What does Young tell everyone happened to Rush back on the planet in Justice?
Rock monsters! Rock monsters got ‘im!

Seeing as how I’m here, a quick mailbag question for you. When writing dialogue for a character with a pronounced accent (Carson Beckett, for example), do you write the dialogue using acented spellings of words (“cannae” instead of “can’t”, for instance), or do you use plain English and leave the actor to decide how to pronounce individual words?

@ Bryan M. White – Our lastest weather update has us in a long period of ‘wintery mix’, so we’re only supposed to get 6″ – give or take. That could be good – or bad – it may mean a LOT of ice, which will just make the weakened trees and lines weaker, and we may have more power outages due to it.

The rest of the southern half of South Jersey is looking at 6″-12″ (inc. Atlantic City), the northern half of SJ and the far north-west corner of the state are looking at 12″-18″, and then Wilmington, through Philly and Trenton and on up into NYC, is looking at 18″-24″. Honestly, at this point I would prefer 2 feet of light fluffy snow over wet, icy heavy snow.

I’ve seen all the feral cats but one – a small little female – and I’m worried about her. She’s young and not used to this weather. 🙁

I have a friend who is a medic in the AF, and this person was saying that a medic is not an officer but on SGU it was said that a medic is an officer or something of that sort. I was just wondering if you could clarify anything, thanks!

Best,

Hello,

Wasn’t one of Eli’s movies “Planet of the Apes”? “I know it’s just a mirage, but I SWEAR one of those dunes looks just like the Statue of Liberty”. Then, he quoted Heston’s last line of the film.

@ Michael Burstein. You, sir, are either channelling me, or you have a brain that is wired alarmingly like mine. Loved your answers, as well as the fact that you take the time to participate here. You’re good people.
Glad to see so many people jumping on the contest. I’ll not bother answering, since others have already done better. Thanks for hosting such a fun event. Looking forward to seeing what the winners manage to collect.
Oh, and creepy doll looks intersting. Have to devide if I want to make a stab at it. It would make an interesting object to get autographed one day.

Hey Squallie… medics are enlisted, not officers. Drives me crazy. And were TJ actually an officer, she’d not be in the COC anyway.

Wanders off mentally….

Happily, I just got my laptop back from he extended warranty hospital. They replaced the hard drive. Happily again, I backed up all my documents, pictures and photos, and don’t have much in the way of programs to re-install. Unhappily, I didn’t back up my bookmarks and my creaky old PC which has the same ones as the laptop did, won’t let me download the bookmark transfer thingy. Meh. Means I have to rebookmark everything by hand. Sigh. Trip down memory lane in the meantime, I suppose.

Given the aforementioned aggravations, my participation in the virtual world has been sporadic at best.

I did not watch the Superbowl, but had I been bribed with those tasty desserts, I would have done so gleefully. In costume. Whistling. You betcha.

Thanks for the update. 18-24 inches, this should be interesting. I heard that Tuesday night, we should start getting a lot of freezing precipitation changing to about a foot of snow, and we’ve already started preparing for the likelyhood that the office will be closed.

I’ve stocked up on my supplies, and should be good to go.

I hope you and your hubby don’t have to go out either.

Wow – I have some catching up to do on the show (except for #7), based on all the great answers. Wish I could join, but my life seems to be centered around the number 2 lately. I’m staying at 2 places (my mom’s at night, then dashing off to my place to get mail and ready for work in the morning), 2 jobs (finally starting second job again 2 times/week now that I can drive in heavy traffic), knee therapy 2wice a week, and visiting mom in the nursing home almost everyday, which is making me 2 tired for much of anything else.

I haven’t been able to keep up with everything on the blog, but I do have one question. You said, “Why the need for additional power sources when the ship was specifically designed to draw energy from the stars it would pass along the way”. Good point.

Then why were ZPM’s developed? Is there some advantage to them as a primary energy source for propulsion? And why wasn’t the ability to draw energy from stars used as backup system on all Ancient ships? Okay, that was 3 questions. And apologies if they have already been asked.

Hello,

The Ancients started out with solar energy as a power source. Remember that in “The Last Man” Sheppard and McKay even note that Atlantis had old solar panels…

Then they started using ZPMs. So from a timeline perspective, Destiny was created at some point after the Ancients harnessed the power of the sun, but before they learned how to derive massive amounts of vacuum energy derived from self contained regions of sub-space time.

Did I just establish that I know way too much about the Atlantis series???

February 9, 2010 at 2:39 am

I realise I’m nowhere near the first three but I thought I’d answer ’em anyway.

1. Who was the first person through the gate?
I’m going to assume you meant in SGU (Lt Matthew Scott) but if you mean ‘for real’ (so to speak), it would have been some unnamed Ancient Alterany nutjob.

2. How old is Adam Brody and what is his profession?
Adam Brody is 36 (disbelieving snort from Eli) and he’s an engineer.

3. What substance are they looking for in Air III?
Calcium carbonate. Calcite. High concentration granular limestone. Don’t ask me if there’s a difference.

4. What did T.J.’s father do for a living?
He’s a tailor, taught her stitching. Wish he’d come ’round to my place and teach me cos I can’t sew a straight line.

5. Whose water rations does a dehydrated Rush down when he comes through the gate in Air III?
Riley’s. Poor Riley.

6. What does Camile want Sharon to get rid of in Life?
An ugly chair. If I recall correctly, it was red and honestly, I thought it was quite nice so she can send it to me if she likes.

7. What natural disaster does Lisa Park positively hate?
Lisa can’t stand earthquakes due to being in one when she was thirteen and cutting her feet on broken glass. Poor lass.

8. Whose death kicks off Justice?
The much unlamented Spencer. Always look on the bright side of life, I say.

9. Rush earned a graduate to what prestigious university?
Is a graduate a scholarship? Cos he says scholarship. And did you know there is actually an Oxford scholarship particularly for students from Scotland? Google’s so useful.

10. Who is the first person selected in “the lottery”?
Airman Becker. I think you should give that lad more to do; he’s very sweet.

11. In Life, Spencer pushes this individual so hard to exercise that he ends up vomiting. Who is he?
(The possibly soon-to-be late or brainfried) Dr Franklin.

12. How does Rush choose to spend his final moments in Light?
In his quarters reading the last 100 pages of a truly mediocre book. Not that I can paraphrase every Rush line or nuffin’.

13. Who is the first one to fall sick on the planet in Time?
Volker. He should have just taken his jacket off. He looked awfully hot all buttoned up like that.

14. Which crew member is seriously injured in Earth?
Riley. Poor Riley. You are bringing Riley back, aren’t you?

15. Both Eli and Greer come up with clever inventions in Water. What are they?
Eli comes up with a floating via kino trolley but for real inventiveness, Greer has to win The New Inventor’s prize because I think it takes more ingenuity to come up with a flamethrower when you’re stuck at the end of the universe with limited resources.

16. What pseudonym does Eli use when he pays his mother a visit in Earth?
Philip Fry (which is apparently from Futurama).

17. What is missing from Wray’s painting in Life?
A row boat but it looks more like a canoe to me.

18. Where is the gun discovered in Justice?
In an air vent in Colonel Young’s quarters. All seemed a little dodgy that one.

19. According to Rush, how cold is the planet in Water?
Minus 47 degrees celcius. Does the US military work in celcius or fahrenheit?

20. How old is Dale Volker and what is his profession?
Volker is 34 and according to him, ‘a pretty fine astrophysicist’. Not a hack.

21. Who eventually sits in “the chair”?
The (possibly soon-to-be late or brainfried) Dr Franklin. Honestly, some people should just take responsibility for their own actions.

22. What did Chloe Armstrong major in at Harvard?
Political Science and getting jobs with parents. I added that last bit by myself.

23. Name Eli’s top 4 desert island movies.
Hackers (obviously); The Matrix; Old School (which I’d never actually heard of before); and Empire if he can’t have all three original Star Wars films.

24. What movie does Rush quote from in Time?
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

25. What does Young tell everyone happened to Rush back on the planet in Justice?
Tripped himself up, started a rockslide. The lying swine. Young, that is, not Rush.

My body can’t handle the cold very well, so I stay inside as much as I can. I feel the most sorry for all those getting the large amounts of snow/ice! Cold is one thing but snow/ice is a whole different game! I can’t imagine how the utility workers get out in this mess and repair the lines. Important job but miserble.

@ Bryan M. White – No, haven’t seen her yet. There are other feral colonies in the neighborhood, so I’m hoping she’s with one of them, or – maybe – just coming around when I haven’t seen her. She is shy. We did dig out the regular kitty hiding places around our place and the neighbors’- so we’ve done all we can do. I do hope she’s okay, though.

RE: Driving in snow. I went to the office today – STUPID ME!!!! It’s like driving on the moon – ruts and ‘potholes’ in the packed snow and slippy slush and patches of ice – and a total MESS! Then I had this chick in a little silver car tailgating me, flailing her arms and screaming at me because I was driving too slow, so…

Yeah, I flipped her the bird. 😳 I’ve never done that before, but – ya know – I had enough stress worrying about what’s in front of me, I didn’t need that arsehole pushing me from behind. Oh, and birdwatchers are actually parking in THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET to look at birds and snap pictures. 🙄 Only one car can get through most of the side streets, and these morons are stopping right in the middle of the lane, and taking pictures. Yeah, we’re in the Atlantic Flyway and we have lots of pretty birds. And yeah, they are extra pretty in the snow. But, ya know, use some common sense! ARRRRGGGHHH!

Now I have to drive home, and I’m dreading it. 😛

We’re supposed to get quite a bit of wintery mix/rain – then temps drop and it’ll all freeze change over to snow. I’m not going out for the rest of the month. 😛

I particularly remember driving home early one morning after picking number one son up from night shift and being tailgated and I mean tailgated, the guy was about an inch from my rear end and I don’t pootle 🙂 Anyways I stopped at a junction and we both got out of the car and went back and frightened the crap outta the moron. needless to say he hung well back the rest of the way and I felt GREAT!!!

Nor’easter #2 Update:

Just got an automated call from the police, informing us of probably power outages and shelter locations, and to stock up on water and batteries, etc. (they forgot toilet paper on their list! ). THIS has never happened before. They still don’t have power to everyone from the last storm – a friend of mine who lives a couple miles from me was just on the Philly news: A tree is down on their street and they can’t move it because it’s massive, and tangled in power lines. The electric company is trying to get power restored to the barrier islands, so these folks have to wait.

Why the ‘panic’? Because, even though we are supposed to get mostly rain/ice instead of snow, we are also supposed to get 50+ mph winds, with hurricane force winds just off the coast. 😕 And our trees are still clogged with snow and ice, lots of weak trees and branches. And all this snow (still nearly 2 ft deep) will keep the rain water from draining, and then it’s supposed to get cold – which means everything will freeze…and…ugh…I AM finally ready for spring! This is gonna be a real mess… 😛

@ Bryan M. White – Little girl kitty showed up!! 😀 I’m wondering if she was trapped under one of the sheds Mr. Das and I cleared this morning. She was in the kitty shelter, and ate like a little piggy! I feel a lot better now.

Now…let’s hope we all survive what is yet to come. 😛

Das: prayers going out for all of you on the coast! I’m glad you kitty came back, one less thing for you to fret over. I hope your power stays on!

Narelle: that is a wide temp range in Australia. I live close to Memphis, TN (home of Elvis). In the winter it can be 70F one day and snowing the next. It usually stays above freezing but we may get one ice storm during the winter season.
In the summer it’s hot and steamy (95-105F). It’s a constant heat though, you wake up sweaty and stay that way all day long. I can handle the heat much better than this cold. My fingers/toes go numb first, then my lips and then….. I usually go inside 😀 .

DP: sounds like wishful thinking to me 😉 . Sending prayers your way for good news at drs.

@DP

I hope you come back to check this thread…

Nomi and I had been hoping for her to get pregnant, so there wasn’t that much of a wait. We were keeping track and expecting it to happen at some point. But we do have a funny story about finding out that she was having twins. Nomi’s numbers were high, which usually implies twins, but the tech-in-training at the ultrasound where they look for the heartbeat was doubtful. She pointed to the tiny flicker on the screen and said, “There’s the heartbeat.”

To which I replied, “If that’s the heartbeat, then what’s this over here?” and pointed to another flicker.

“Huh,” she said and went to get the doctor, whose first words to us when she walked in were, “Congratulations, it’s twins.”

@Michael A. Burstein – Your last line added to my brain fog. I find out Thursday if I miscalculated the due date or if we need a minivan. Was there a wait between hearing “Hmm…” and finding out for you guys?

And I almost hit “submit” without adding @Michael A. Burstein. That would’ve made SO much sense default-addressed to Joe. See where my head is?

@Michael A. Burstein – Thanks for the reply. That’s impressive to beat an ultrasound tech at their own game.
