Me and my little sis were on the phone last night, talking about Stargate and Star Trek and the upcoming Polaris con. We were tooling about the site, seeing what the con had to offer this year, if there had been any further guests added and trying to plan our day, when I ran across the small banner on the announcements page.
Don S. Davies died a week ago. He played George Hammond on Stargate for 7 years and was a really well loved guy.
I loved that man when I was a kid, he always reminded me of my grandfather who died when I was little.
Thing the first. Was feeling somewhat shitty, and decided to watch Stargate SG-1 the Arc of Truth as I had yet to see it. I figure, "good old dependable stargate, you hold no real suprises for me anymore, this'll be comforting".
And then it comes on, good old movie music, nice BC scenery AND MY FUCKING UNCLE IS PLAYING A CHARACTER IN THE OPENING!! I figure it was just the drugs, so I checked IMDB, and there it was, in nice neat text, my uncle, Simon Bradbury is in STARGATE!!
Thing the second: Did anyone else have their brains dribble out their ears upon seeing the new who? Did he not promise that they were NOT going to do that? They had better fucking fix this the bastards...
Thing the third: Why is the mabinogi now an mmorpg? is nothing sacred?
And as a last note: painkillers are awesome and make everything blue and swirly.
