golgo13sf posted:I just re-watched SGA:Rising Pt. 1 and realized the Ancient woman in the beginning is the one they find in the ice in SG1:Frozen. Never noticed that before, nice bit of continuity. That was Ona Grauer. Yup. (She also played a human named Emily Young in SGU). Another bit of internal consistency, though: Melia McClure, an actress who played "Ancient Woman" in "Rising" plays an Ancient named "Melia" in the SGA episode "Before I Sleep" -- the one where Weir ends up in an parallel timeline in the original Atlantis, and talks them into putting her in stasis to keep the city working until the SG team shows up. And they find her in stasis as a very old version of herself. So she played the same character -- an Ancient woman scientist in Atlantis -- in two episodes. Cool.

Forum Actuary posted:The head of the Ancient council in "Before I Sleep" is also the same actor, and presumably the same character, as Merlin in SG-1. I thought that was awesome. drat. Part of me wants to think that's not just a fortuitous casting accident, but actually a clever plan by the powers that were on the show, a bit of an easter egg to those who were really paying attention. But then again, knowing those folks, it's probably more the former than the latter.

Rhyno posted:Last night SyFy reran the first Atlantis episode with Lucious (and drat is he always fun) and Lt Tits showed up as one of his wives. Note: "-us" is a Latin name ending. "-os" is a Greek name ending. Demetrius is a Latin name. Demitrios is a Greek name. -ous (combining the two above) is an English adjectival ending denoting a quality (like ambitious, anxious, curious, fictiious, laborious, etc.) It is NOT a name ending. Lucius is a name. Lucious is a misspelling of luscious -- and while Lucius may be luscious, that isn't guaranteed. Sorry, but I see that -ious misspelling in names a lot, and it's one of my buttons.

Der Luftwaffle posted:My favourite bit of all time has to be when Bratac starts describing the dangerous journey they have to make to blow the ship's reactor and Jack just drops two grenades off the catwalk. It so perfectly lampoons the ridiculous objectives in FPS games that I always forget that the show pre-dates most of them. I love this bit as well. I hadn't thought of it as an FPS lampoon, so much as those over-the-top quest things where step one leads to two, and so on. Hate railroading. But we're in the same chapter, if not on the same page.

He literally makes things up and often times leaves out keywords, (LIKE "NOT") when quoting others. Seriously. If you read the book, and go to the trouble of tracking down original sources, you find that he literally cuts out things that contradict what he's trying to say. I remember a wonderful TV documentary called "Crash Go the Chariots" that debunked and explained all the von Daniken crapola. I think it aired a few times thirty or so years ago, and I haven't seen it since -- but I *still* see von Daniken and his poo poo on TV all the time. The world (TV consumers in particular) is full of morons.
