The Brazilian-born actress plays Dr. Leslie Thompkins, the medical practitioner for the Gotham City Police Department, and she said season three will be continuing the emotional arc between her character and Jim Gordon (played by her real-life boyfriend Ben McKenzie) that ended in shambles and a lost baby at the end of last season.

STARGATE SG-1: Hall of the Two Truths by Susannah Parker Sinard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’m a fan of the Stargate tv franchise but only dipped into the novels recently, I’ve read more of Atlantis than SG1 so it was time I jumped into the significant library of titles released since the shows went of the air.
In this case I picked up Hall Of The Two Truths by first time Stargate author Susannah Parker Sinard and with the usual trepidation always present when reading another’s viewpoint of favoured characters shared the journey of SG1 as described in the novel. The story is set during the fifth season of SG1 so the Goa’uld are still in a free for all after the demise of Apophis and the team are still in turmoil over “their” failure to save the inhabitants of K’tau (Red Sky). This allows the author to mix things up a little and read more into the chemistry of the team than was always the case on the television show. So let’s dip into the story a little but without any significant spoilers, after being approached by the Tok’ra the team are investigating ruins on a previously unknown world. Jack thinks it’s all a waste of time but allows Daniel and Sam to keep investigating and they do indeed find some alien technology which seems to only activate when Jack touches is (yes the reader is well ahead of the team at this point). Soon after their location is attacked and the team plus the Tok’ra representative are captured and soon after they awake in a sealed cavern only accessible by rings. They are then joined by two women named NebtHet a’Eshe and Aset a’Teneb who welcome them to “Duat” and after describing personal details of each member of SG1 proceed to zat them twice and so far away from home SG1 die.
Ok there you go, go buy the novel and get reading because this is just the beginning of an adventure that’s pretty much not like any other as the mythology of the ancient Egyptians gods and walking through the underworld facing tasks and obstacles for the soul to overcome before being judged are revealed to us through the eyes of our favoured explorers.
Hall Of The Two Truths was an enjoyable read, the concept was very interesting and the story complex enough to really hold my attention with the characters (regular and recurring from the show) all written well and believable in context. I quite liked the scenes with General Hammond dealing with the Tok’ra especially Anise but it was the exploration of the psyche and character of SG1 where the novel really hits its mark.

In an era of sci-fi where traveling to distant worlds was predominantly accomplished through space ships, there was Stargate. The stargate allows interplanetary travel through ring structures that allow anything to pass through wormholes to their destination. The film, which would turn to a franchise, was created by Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich. The film […]

Well we are nearing the end of the Canadian crime drama Motive and in this last but one episode entitled “Chronology of Pain” there is a bounty of former Stargate actors in addition to the regular and recurring cast members I’ve mentioned before. The episode deals with the murder of a very powerful and influential judge and as always we know who did but the motive is what eludes and is slowly revealed as the story plays out.
Interesting to see Louis without the beard 🙂
