Watched The Wedding Singer over the holidays and now I can’t take Matthew Glave playing the slimeball seriously after he was kicking ass as Colonel Emmerson.

Christopher Heyerdahl & Morena Baccarin in the latest episode of Gotham entitled “Rogues’ Gallery”. It also featured Allyce Beasley who I used to love on Moonlighting and overall an excellent episode to kick off the second half of the season.

Hallmark blitzed the holiday period with their crop of new tv movies centered in and around christmas and The Christmas Ornament was certainly not the worst of the bunch, a simply tale of a couple of mildly damaged souls who found each other amongst the chaos that is the holiday season. Yeah you can figure out the ending within minutes of watching the movie but that’s not why you watch these sorts of stories.
Anyhow the movie aired this afternoon in the UK and it featured a few familiar faces from Stargate, one better known but all accomplished actors with impressive tv resumes. May I present Jewel Staite who played Jenna, Laura Mennell who played Rebecca and Nels Lennarson who played Dale.

Joseph Mallozzi on his Weblog covered the official announcement of the cast for the upcoming Syfy summer 2015 series which was revealed yesterday.
It’s looking pretty good, familiar faces from Stargate and the scifi/fantasy genre certainly won’t hurt.

It seems the flavour of the month is the one and only Morena Baccarin who is going to be making a splash in upcoming episodes of Gotham as well as appearing in the recent Red Tent mini-series. The Mentalist has returned for it’s seventh and final season and in the episode “Orange Blossom Ice Cream” she reprises her role as Erica Flynn who uses the mutual attraction between her and Patrick to sweeten a deal with US authorities who are intent on capturing an arms smuggler. It was a fun episode, Morena wearing her hair slightly longer looked stunning and even the back lots of the studios looked a passable part of respectable Beirut.

Hell on Wheels like a few select shows is one I like to marathon to get the full narrative effect so with time off work I’m currently immersing myself in the fourth season and I was pleasantly surprised to see Colin Cunningham appear in the episode Chicken Hill playing the character simply known as the Gambler. There were definitely shades of his “Pope” character or maybe that character from Falling Skies has some roots in the slick wild west card shark with an edge.
Colin is a firm favourite within the Stargate community, his portrayal of Major Paul Davis in Stargate SG1, Atlantis and the Continuum movie was excellent.

Always a joy to see Ellie Harvie on television and not actually playing a role that employs her comedic talents, in that latest episode of Supernatural “Hibbing 911” she plays Dr. Shelly Pierson and deadpans along with the best of them:)

Yes I know spotting former Stargate actors on Arctic Air is not that difficult but it was great to see Bill Dow back on my television in albeit a small role as Boomer Platt in the seventh episode of the third season of the show entitled Flying Solo. I’ve finally gotten around to watching the final season of the show, pity the powers that be decided not to go ahead with a fourth season but for a time this tale of adventures in the cold wilderness and the communities that kept the lights bright was entertaining to watch. Bill of course played Dr Lee on all three live action Stargate series, one of the many characters with smaller roles but became true fan favourites.

An old favourite turned up on last weeks episode of Grimm, Mr Erick Avari guest starred as JP in the fourth season episode Highway of Tears. Erick was one of the very few actors who took their character from the movie into the tv series eventually appearing in three episodes of SG1 playing Kasuf. Over the years he has appeared in shows such as Heroes, Scorpion, Warehouse 13 and Babylon 5.
