Err...question -> What's with the vibrating couch?

justhere's idea, not mine. I wouldn't have a vibrating couch. Like I say, I wouldn't be able to use my hands or feet after.

[ToasterOnFire]

fordable = expendable, easy to forget or overlook, sent to a distant land and unknown future, facing the impeding doom of oblivion.

Heh, I was using it as a verb.

To Ford: (v) The process of ditching, dumping, or tossing a character that TPTB have difficulty writing want to move in a different direction. Generally occurs when another character comes along to catch TPTB's attention ("Ooh, shiny!") serve as a proper replacement. It is vital that said character is not killed or given a proper send-off as to string along fans who are hoping to see that character again. See also, To Jonas.

Oh come now, we all know that vibrating couches are so much louder than non-vibrating couches!!

LOL just trying to spice things up. Turns vibration off for now.

I think I settle on the ground in front of the couch...not much a fan of vibrating stuff...

haha, the best. so we turn on the vibrating when we want to make ourselves heard even more, for example when new spoilers we don't like come out, when TPTB speak, anything makes us upset even more. We should have an anti-dictionary.

[Falcon Horus]

We should have an anti-dictionary.

All thanks to Anuna's first Anti-word, which Toasteronfire immediatelly turned into a verb.

PERFECT! LOVE IT! Thank you for giving me a much needed laugh today. Can't green you again that fast, so mental green for you!

[Trialia]

But only, of course, when "Ford" is used with a capital letter. Otherwise it means something else entirely.

Interview with SGA cast regarding changes in Season 4. (Hewlett, Tapping, Luttrell, & Flannigan).

Major season 4 spoilers. Read at your own risk.

I found JF's comments interesting. About how he had to make a case to add more stuff in regarding Elizabeth's departure. I won't say more here, in deference to those who aren't reading about S4.

http://www.scifi.com/sfw/interviews/sfw16933.html

If this is all old news, please excuse.

Hmmm. My interpretation:

Spoiler:

JF: The dynamic that's developed by having Amanda in the show is that she and David Hewlett have a pre-existing relationship, so that's a very funny and entertaining thing to watch. My character now, I'm just listening, trying to keep up with the science of it. You find me listening a lot more. Or trying to listen.

Less Shep/McKay interaction. A lot of Carter/McKay interaction. Not a good thing for Shep/McKay fans

I was concerned that the transition was too quick. So I went upstairs and I talked to them and I said, "I think we're just moving way too quickly on this." I felt, shouldn't we pause, say, "Oh, we should try to find Dr. Weir and rescue her, hold out hope that she could come back, that we could rescue her,"

Joe seems to have the brains to realise that people actually care about the character, even though TPTB don't. It doesn't surprise me, given the fact he's said before he likes working with Torri. I just confirms to me that they're going to pull a Ford on her. It also confirms the kidnapping that we all knew was coming. Way for them to be creative...

In that case, everything we fear is about to come true and all we can do is brace ourselves for one bumpy ride and possibly an impact which might cause quite a bit more damage to the show than TPTB thought possible.

They had a massive reaction from fans when they dumped Beckett. They're experiencing a massive reaction from fans for dumping Weir. Both of the reactions negative.

If they haven't woken up to the fact that people are pissed off and don't like what they're doing... seriously.

To quote a line from a Kelly Clarkson song, TPTB, "I would never wish bad things, but I don't wish you well".

Goes in the same category as "What goes around comes around" and "Karma's a *****"

[Falcon Horus]

Well yeah... they should have known better. *shrug*
