Huh

So apparently where all of the Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis creative people who got fucked over by SGU went was Sanctuary. I'm like, I don't even follow TV director's names all that much and I'm recognizing a crapload of them. And the writers. Damien Kindler, Martin Wood, Peter Deluise...

Yeah so this might explain why it's a brand of ridiculous I enjoy? I mean, vampire Nikola Tesla.

Meanwhile, watching stuff on Syfy has let us know that the Flan is now working in syfy movies of the week; I full expect his character to be slashed with Hewlett's from the megapython whatever one within days. Also he looks like crap. We really hope that's a character thing.

Wait, wait you've been watching it too? AWESOME! Let's talk immortal longcoat ladies and Vampire Nikola Tesla!

Just flipped it on last night and discovered it was my flavor of cheese. We are starting at the beginning and in the midst of ep 3 now. Going, "...we're like five minutes in and two of them are solid Bechdel pass?"

There are some truly crap episodes, but when they're on, they're on. And LOTS of Bechdel-passing YAY!

All the actors went over to Sanctuary too. At least four of the main characters were SG1/SGA regulars (although two of them are played by Christopher Heyerdahl). I really enjoy Sanctuary; it's a fun and surprisingly good show.

And yes. Vampire Nikola Tesla. Have you seen the episodes with Peter Wingfield?

[jmtorres]

Not yet.

(TODD. HE WAS TODD. AND HALLING. I had not realized Todd and Halling were played by the same dude, and I didn't recognize him at all.)

But yeah. We did notice. But frankly kind of used to the "6 Canadian actors" situation, whereas I don't usually have production side names leap out at me.
