Could you imagine the bromance McCay and Jackson would have had? :  :

Does anyone know if any of the actors participate in the audio commentaries? I'm up to season 5 now and the few random episodes I've checked the extra tracks on, its always the director plus other random tech guy. Kind of interesting, but really wish there were actor tracks as well that gave filming anecdotes. I guess if you are a film buff the director tracks are great, for example just listening to the s5 premiere track now and for 5 minutes they are talking about zoom lens vs dolly tracking and going deeeep into technical details... pretty boring to me

Palleon posted:The most ironic thing about Todd the Wraith is that the actors previous character on the show is probably one of the worst, that village guy was constantly whining and complaining and I despised him. Yet he managed to actually be someone cool when given a better role. He was also the main guy in that episode of SG1 where they find the bubble town on that poison atmosphere planet. Man, stargate re-uses a lot of its actors.

Im just putting this here cause I wanna tell someone about it. Last semester a friend of mine's girlfriend had to write a paper about Arc of truth for philosophy class. She sat there for a while asking me various questions about it because she didn't pay attention when the teacher showed the movie in class. That seems like the best philosophy class ever, apparently it was heavily based on SG1 for some reason. I would have got an A in that class easy. Blade_of_tyshalle posted:I actually didn't mind Weir. I don't give a poo poo about writing, weir was a bad actress, always too poised and squinting like she's looking off over a horizon or something. Never liked her and was glad when she was gone.

Vancouver is realms cheaper than filming in Hollywood, or even Oregon. While it makes for a lot of lovely sci-fi (and Twilight) creeping in, it also gave us BSG and the namesake of this thread. You may already know this, but the Tallon homeworld area and the Caprican market are the same location: the Quad at SFU in Vancouver! (on the left)

Also X-Files and reams of other shows. I remember back in the BSG thread we used to call all the scenes with Helo on Caprica "Cylon Occupied Canada".

X-Files also featured Don S. Davis as Scully's father, who in the first episode I ever saw of the show died of a heart attack. He died of the same thing in real life (and in the alt-reality of 2010 IIRC)

Before I only caught the occasional episode on SciFi. Nice to know there is a Daniel in Atlantis episode coming up. Seemed like before season 10 of SG-1 he was always getting cock blocked from visiting at every opportunity.

Sorry for the derail, but this seemed a better place to ask then the couch chat thread. Did anyone watch Red Faction: Origins on Syfy? I DVR'ed it, but am wondering if it's worth my time. I haven't played the game if that matters.

I'm trying to teach my dog to fetch a beer every time I shout out Jaffa, Cree! but so far he's being a total sho-va Just watched the episode where they discover a robot girl alone on a planet, what an awesome replicator episode - the first time her "toy" crawls out was just awesome. So many great episodes in season 5. The language thing is still my favorite weird thing about SG1. The first few episodes they try really hard, with Daniel all focused on translating ancient SumBabyHebrWhateverian to English. After a while though you can tell the writers knew that having all the "aliens" we meet not be able to talk or spending 1/2 the episode on language would be a total bummer, so now ZAP everyone speaks English! It still must have bugged them though since every now and then they try to bring up language, and must have been excrutiating for the writers when they have episodes where Jaffa/Goul'd start speaking in their own language and then suddenly switch to English a few sentences later.
