At last. We get to see new Stargate and Atlantis episodes, and my husband David gets to see new Battlestar Galactica episodes. It’s too bad the Shuttle Discovery didn’t launch the other day; according to the behind the scenes show SciFi.com ran the other day, there are a couple of Stargate fans up on the International Space Station. Hope the scrubbed launch doesn’t screw up their plans for throwing a geek party to watch the new eps. Ben Browder and a few other new people sign on tonight, which will make many Farscape fans very, very happy. Hee! David keeps…

I was looking for some video to watch yesterday while waiting for incoming calls and checked out the CBS News site, since they’ve been touting an increased “24/7 online news” presence lately. Also, it had to be free newsvid, and I wanted to watch the 2-minutes’ silence observance on a delay, which their site made available in RAW video (not edited, full length). I picked some other videos using their handy “select for playlist” and listened idly. One choice was to watch Ground Force’s Charlie Dimmock explain how to select plants for and design a Mediterranean garden. Now, if you…

If you’re a fan of “The Amazing Race,” you’re in luck. The cable network GSN will begin broadcasting all eight seasons of the show, in order, on a nightly basis starting at 8 p.m. Monday. “There are tons of people who came to this show in later seasons, and they’ve never seen these [early] episodes, because unlike dramas, reality shows don’t usually repeat and don’t hit syndication as quickly,” said Linda Holmes, an attorney from Bloomington, Minn., who, under the moniker Miss Alli, has recapped every season of “TAR” for the Web site TelevisionWithoutPity.com. “For people who missed those seasons,…

Adrian Paul to executive produce Highlander 5 The Highlander fan list, HIGHLA-L, has been batting this dead pony around in a desultory way for a couple of weeks now. Actually, discussion has been revitalized in the last month, with actual stuff to discuss, whether on-topic or not. It’s been nice to see some old friends ride up on their trusty steeds (which can be any sort of mammal, not excluding cows, ferrets, and wombats). However, the Dead Pony Regiment has been having the most fun pooh-poohing the thought of another Highlander movie sequel, because they’re sure it’ll be screwed up.…

* beep’s Remote Patrol notes that former Amazing Race winner Reichen Leimkuhl and other reality “stars” will be in a new show where they all live together while filming a horror film. Oh, the horror indeed. That’ll get a big thumbs-down on the TiVo.

Okay, I actually found this via Boing Boing and it totally rocks. I’m thinking of saying it the next time I’m stuck having to recite the Pledge. And I know at least one person who owns a UFP flag, so must pass it along later. “It’s Ms., please. And sorry for my attire, but I ran a marathon yesterday and I’m too sore to change this morning.” I tried to infect her with my smile, but she wore a tight-lipped expression as frosty as her jacket. “So, anyway. What did he do?” I picked at the hem of my sweatshirt,…

Saturday night we went to see Batman Begins. It was pretty good, but I thought it dragged in some spots. David liked it better than I did. Afterwards, we went to Brass for dinner and a nice pubbrew. A great evening. By far, the best part was the TRAILERS. Specifically, the Big Damn Movie Trailer! I made an involuntary W00T! noise and clapped, before David even figured out what it was. Watched with rapt attention (because I never seem to be able to nab tickets to the Sneak Previews, another of which is June 23rd and totally sold out). At…

Hey! Everybody Googling “brian and greg smith amazing race,” “brian and greg wrecked car,” and especially “ugly hats” please visit Brian’s site: brian . thomas . smith It’s a great looking site with incredible head shots of Brian (obviously working the reality angle for his career), but oh, dear, the HTML is all tables. Gah! No CSS! And it has spacer .gifs! Urrrkkkh! Bri – I know someone in LA who might be able to help redesign that site, dude. Also the contact information doesn’t work, but that’s probably for the best. P.S. There’s a perfectly good site name for…

Amendola, a veteran character actor, added that his character, a mentor to Teal’c (Christopher Judge), will appear several times during year nine. “Last season, primarily, our enemy had been destroyed,” he said. “The war essentially ended. And now it’s a question of how do you make the peace? And how do you make the peace when you’ve be warring with each other, as factions, for thousands of years and only came together to defeat a common enemy? Now that the enemy is gone, how do you maintain the peace? How do you create a governance? It’s very timely. I’ve already…
