    Well this is interesting but OT sorta.
    Spoiler:
    On JM's blog, these may explain a WHOLE lot.

    Answer: Ah, it really depends on the situation. If it’s a disagreement that stems from a mistake or misunderstanding, not long at all. If the other person is being a jerk, then a really long time. Reeeaaaallly long time. Why? Have you done something to get on my bad side?


    So can we assume anything from this statement which took up most of his Submersion recap?

    The one behind-the-scenes incident that I recall involved those unwieldy underwater suits McKay and Sheppard wear to access the neighboring ship. Because of the mechanics, it was always a big song and dance getting the actors in and out of the things. The suit would be prepped, they would crawl in, then the suits would be locked, effectively sealing the actors inside. It was an equally big song and dance to unlock the suits and open them again so, once locked, there was nowhere to go but forward – onto set and shooting. Well, it just so happened that Joe’s suit experienced some sort of malfunction. The resident suit expert hopped inside and made the necessary adjustments. The director was losing time and was eager to start shooting so, the second the guy had finished fixing the suit, he jumped out, Joe jumped back in, and the suit was sealed. Unfortunately, also sealed inside the suit with Joe was a wicked bout of gas the fixer had released. My fellow producer, John Smith, relayed the story over lunch, describing Joe’s muted, wild-eyed reaction after which John, in all seriousness, solemnly assured us: “But it wasn’t malicious.” The very notion that anyone assumed malice on the part of the farter made it even funnier.

    And clear proof that there must be a feed from another galaxy because in every version I've seen JASON WEARS THE WIG FOR ALL OF S5 and I don't remember any head shaving. WTF? Am I having another senior moment?

    Ponytail writes: “The most emotionally devastating moment in Stargate history for me was the cancellation of Stargate Atlantis. Second was Ronon’s wig in season 5.”

    Answer: Ah, the wig. Years of sporting the dreads began to take their toll on poor Jason, so the decision was made to cut his hair. We ended up working the haircut into the show (the head shaving sequence in Broken Ties) but since the first episode of season 5 picked up on events from the season 4 finale, we had no choice but to wig. On the bright side, at least we used his real hair.

      *snickers* That's Joe for you. Give him an inch, he'll run off on a random tangent for the next 5 minutes.

      *snorts at the story with Joe and the suit* Poor baby.

      As for the story on Jason and the wig, I guess Mallozzi forgot to mention how the studio nixed the idea of cutting Ronon's hair in Broken Ties. *shrugs*

      Sparky is on screen. Therefore, it is canon. Elizabeth is still out there. And John WILL bring her home.

        Or maybe he just doesn't remember. Or maybe he only saw that feed from another galaxy that showed a lot of things we never saw.

            Also: I'm dropping by because apparently one of the vids that I made a couple of years ago has finally become unblocked on YouTube (it was that whole WMG copyright stuff). I didn't realize it until someone commented and it was like 'woah, where did that come from?' Anyway, figured I'd link it here if anyone's interested. It was a gift for a friend of mine who is also a major Sam/Jack shipper, but I couldn't bear to make a whole vid without Sparky, so I split it between the two. You could always skip over the Sam/Jack parts if that ship isn't to your taste.

            Spoiler:
            That was a great video, and I love that song.

            That sounds great, I’m really looking forward to all four of them and I really want to see some pics of Torri as well, I haven’t seen any yet.

              That reminded me that I didn't comment on Erin's wonderful vid. You could see a lot of parallels there between the two couples.

                    It is really sad; hopefully it was something he wanted to do, maybe for a new role or something since it’s not exactly pain free.

                    I must admit that I'm feel even more used to seeing that on him after SGA since we always saw his face.

                    I would also like to say that at least 'teh hair' is still as it should be and I'm hoping that will never change.

                      And his hands are still hairy.

                      He was hairless for his part in 6 Bullets, but that was a year ago. Maybe he decided he liked it, but it sure seems like a lot of trouble. And I'm betting he doesn't know how fond we female fans are of the hairy chest. Surely someone in Chicago asked him about new roles.

                        Rats. Now I have to rewrite part of the fic. That's the price we pay for trying to stay true to canon, I guess.

                                Love the scruffy beard. That's his best look.

                                Now I hear that Joe showed up at the con yesterday on crutches. Hopefully later today someone will find out what happened.
