Sam has her newly delivered ACME Road Runner Kit but alas no instruction manual. ACME was mentioned when we recording the episode so I thought I would have a little fun, I am no artist hence the pretty weak cut and paste job:)

It’s the 28th of August so a big bundle of birthday best wishes to our glorious diva of Scifi entertainment, if she is not starring on screen she is directing, producing or even writing. She also works extensively in the children’s charity domain while being a mother and wife herself.
Happy Birthday the one and only Amanda Tapping.

Kirby Morrow also has his birthday today, he has guest starred once in Stargate Universe and twice in Stargate SG1 with an eight episode recurring role in Stargate Atlantis as Captain Dave Kleinman. He is a familiar face but perhaps better known for his extensive voice work resume. IMDB

Excellent news coming out of the Canadian broadcaster Showcase, they have renewed Continuum for a second season so more work for our favourite group of genre actors in North America. Perhaps  more importantly the story will continue as the future remains in the balance and the fate of the human race rocks precariously.

Topless Robot – Nerd news, humor and self-loathing

Thanks to Topless Robot and @StargateAtlas for bringing this lego goodness to our attention.

 Daniel begins having very vivid dreams of his early days with Sarah Gardner when he was primarily a  researcher and in these dreams he is studying the tablet which tells of the Lost City of the Ancients. The dreams also allow him to re-experience their budding relationship and maybe not to make the same mistakes but it seems this Sarah is much more understanding, Daniels attempts to translate the table being more important than missing a dinner date. Meanwhile Sam is dating Pete Shanahan a detective she met via her brother and things are progressing well, Sam too to heart the events she lived through on board the Prometheus.

Chimera is very good episode which ties in long standing characters and arc while introducing a significant other in the form of a serious love interest for Sam, one that not only survives their first encounters but also she believes is capable of accepting and supporting her career. The return of Sarah Gardner aka Osiris is well done which again makes use of the stolen Asgard technology to make it possible, we seriously begin to wonder how much more powerful Anubis can be and if he has already integrated all of the Asgard tech stolen from the mind of Thor and the information gleamed from Jonas.

She watches while you sleep..

Chimera gave us some important road marks on the path to the stage of Stargate SG1 and the overall franchise, the final appearance of Sarah Gardner and the demise of another former System Lord. Sam finally growing beyond her own enforced belief that she is defined by her work and also noting Jacks total acceptance of the fact. Teal’s likes his donuts and Daniel sees the discovery of the Lost City worth risking his life for.

Rocking the girly look.

This weeks promo is from The Scifi Diner and next week we are discussing the episode “Death Knell” another strong Sam episode along with again significant movement in the overall arcs. Join us and let us know what you think of the show and of the Stargate series/episodes we cover.

  • It seems the initial impetus for the changes which was the removal from the itunes store was down to our host godaddy changes the service we had been paying for for over 3 years, these changes broke the needs of itunes and thus all the domain changes and cosmetic work still meant no itunes support. We are now in the process of changing hosting companies and when the button is pushed the site and feeds will be down hopefully for  a very brief period.
  • Our Facebook, Google + and Twitter presence will be unaffected so keep on checking in.

An interesting marriage of show footage and new live action scripted footage, well mixed and allows for a quicker turnabout of content, smart.
