Some folks might take even your comment about Rodney's clothes as spoiling, so you see how easy it is to spoil without actually meaning to.
Me personally, I love spoilers. I just read the yahoo group's transcript for The Hive (thank you very much to those who transcribe the episodes) and I'm just as excited as ever to finally get to see the episode in January.

Er, either stuff got moved around or I was wrong. The Rodney pic that I said was for Inferno is apparently now in the episode Allies.
Btw, interesting plot blurb from New Atlantis about Inferno:Spoiler:
"McKay must save the team when they are trapped on a planet with a super-volcano."
Go Rodney!

Originally posted by mcalex22Interesting comment Arlessiar about the hands - apparently it takes up to an hour or more to do a close-up hands shot! I'm not sure why but they actually have to adjust the lense or something - that's what Joe and Martin Wood were talking about in the commentary.
It beats making the talent hang around for an extra 1-2hrs for something comparitively incidental, thus pushing back everyone's effective start time for the next day (cast and crew have a minimum 10hr turnaround between being released from set, and their next call time - eating into that means overtime, which producers hate, as well as possibly losing the light the next day if shooting exteriors). It's especially important when there are minors on set - there are very strict rules about the number of hours children can work per day, so if you can rope in Kate-the-camera-assistant-with-small-hands to double for that cutaway of little Amy picking up an apple, you're gonna take it. Crew are also frequently used as stand-ins for blocking and pre-lighting - such are the joys of no-budget filmmaking.
Hell, I've had to double hands, feet, backs of heads...even heart (I kid you not - they hooked me up to an ECG for a "steady rhythm/rapid beating/asystole/flatline" cutaway. The flatline was easy, just let go of the leads, but the rapid pulse/asystole part wasn't so fun. Freaked out the 1st AD though, so it was worth it LOL. Who hasn't always wanted to die on stage?)
Anyways - heya thunkers! *waves* Longtime lurker hereLast edited by Cynicat; 24 November 2005, 09:00 PM.

Originally posted by ArlessiarWe learnt BE in school and we were told that it's "zed". I never heard "zee" before I watched Stargate.
I love that Rodney says zed! It just makes it all the more obvious that he's Canadian. (and it's cool coming from a Commonwealth country and hearing him say that! It's like he's one of us!!)
When I was at school, we would have got our butts kicked for saying zee instead of zed!

Originally posted by ArlessiarNormally no problem Rose, you know that I think like you and watcher when it comes to spoilers. I always try to be very careful not to spoiler anything, and I sincerely apologise if I forgot to put something in spoilertags that belongs there.
Look as always I love spoilers can't get enough of them and have made long winded responses as to why I think it is unfair living in Australia but still having to spoil for the US/Canada/UK yet no-one cares about me and my fellow Australians being spoiled (Example: apparently there is this new character called Dex ) but I do understand now how it can be annoying for people who really don't like to speculated too much about any future development or even the fun developments that are extremely unlikely to happen.
My bit on the "Wraith Queen" ring any bells? I did spoil that! Now maybe I am going a little overboard but again I do get it now what starts as speculation can quite easily snowball and if you don't use the tags from the start people soon think (like I did) that it is an optional extra.
Look there are lots of things we can talk about with Rodney I don't know why we always go for the speculation when the actual episodes offer such great material. *yeah but I like to speculate too*
Oh and yes watcher652 is very, very good at keeping things in spoiler tags for ages, bless her.

Originally posted by watcher652How can our thunk be pure if we don't know if that's David's hands or not? Guess we'll just have to admire his hands when we can see them attached to the rest of him.
I want a "real hand of David guarantee" - Kiss and Lick for president!
Bye, A.
P.S. It was Kiss and Lick, right MG?~°~Dr. Rodney McKay ~°~ Dr. Carson Beckett ~°~ McKay/Sheppard ~°
