yeah, that again...

I post about SG-1 and SGA often (and that's not going to stop) but I'm interested in gauging the general Stargate interest on my friends list.

[Poll #776277]

• It seems the plan for the Stargate movie has it picking up where the original film left off. Okay, fine. Whatever. I get that it's sci-fi and there's no rule saying another film has to include TEN YEARS of television canon but, if I go to a theater to see a Stargate film, I'd prefer that the story acknowledge the TV show. On the other hand, I'm not sure I can see RDA and Shanks in an over the top big screen Stargate adventure which leads me to maybe it's best to leave well enough alone. Didn't we learn from the X-Files?
  
  
• xfkirsten took some lovely photos of the SGA panel at Comic Con. They look like such a fun group! (More here at her site.)
  
  
• The Burbank con is only four months away! SEEDY HOTEL ROOM! Shanks! Flanigan! kiffle? cranberryink? We have variations of this to look forward to. And this. (And, of course, this.) After so many years, it's clear that Shanks knows how to play to his audience.
  
  
• A short while ago, synedcochic wrote Eurydice, After. It's Jack/Daniel and all about Daniel's edges and issues. Shortly after came Metaphor which is Daniel/Cameron and seemingly unrelated to the first story until you read the newest, Depth Charge. All three together weave a Daniel I want to know better. After a decade of doing what he does, he has edges and needs and he's not a fucking puppy simply looking to make nice with the natives. Cameron is really interesting in the second two stories, too, with his need to find a way to fit in with SG-1. Fabulous stories - all three of them.
  
  
• Cut to Justin. krissita cleaned up the photos from the Observer and, in an add, MTV aired a very, very brief clip of the SexyBack video.
  
  At some point today I have to make it to the gym and then the supermarket. It's my father's Yartzheit tonight (Hebrew anniversary of his death) so I found a local synagogue and I'm heading to 7:30pm services to say kaddish. I remember going with him to say Kaddish for his own mother when I was just four or five which gives this special meaning. Rather than reminding me of his death, it makes me feel incredibly close - and linked - to him. I love that I can honor him the way he honored his mother.
