Are you guys going to watch Kindred tonight?

Not tonight, maybe tomorrow. Have to catch up with Midway first which I still have cut and snip in moviemaker. I'm running behind with Falcon Horus Productions.

[marielabbott]

Are you guys going to watch Kindred tonight? I am going to be traveling - so won't be until Monday or so.

I will be. I'm traveling tomorrow and Sunday too, so I won't be able to add my warning/endorsement of the ep until Monday, most likely. Seriously, I hope the ep is ok.

I'll watch if after I drink a bottle of Vodka. I don't really fancy Teyla in S4

[Reefgirl]

A) I live in the UK our Atlantis is on a tuesday
B) I'm taking my daughter out for dinner DONE
C) There's ski flying to be watched when I get home DONE
D) There's Rally Mexico to catch up with after that
E) NCIS is on at 9pm (but that can be watched tomorrow as it's being Sky+ed
F) I've got knitting to finish over the weekend. (About 15 more rows to do)

And it's not even 9pm

[Irish Eyes]

I finished season 3 and I can start the counting but I'm going to give you some trivia first, which I think won't come as much of a surprise:

* DH/RM has 13 episodes in which his wordcount is 1000+
* JM/RD has 9 episodes in which his wordcount is -100
* RL/TE has 6 episodes in which her wordcount is -100

* RL/TL has 11 episodes in which her screentime is 5 minutes or less
* JM/RD has 11 episodes in which his screentime is 5 minutes or less

Yeah, I'm looking forward to the results. I'm gonna guess that the golden trio will be Sheppard/Weir/McKay.

The part about screen time for RL and JM is just sad. They're supposed to be main characters and that's all they get in over half the episodes!

Well, they've obviously found a solution for that. Bring in more recurring characters!

Whatever gave you that idea I don't like 'Popular' sports like football, tennis, rugby and cricket, I go for minority ones that get very little coverage. Still the F1 seasons starts next month, the Giro d'Italia's on in May, I won't be at a loss for anything to watch when S4 finishes

26 thousand words! Dude! If he could lose 10 000, he'd be the same as Shep, so the 10 000 could be split between Teyla, Ronon, Carson and Lizzie. And it's sad that most Ronon words was Sateda yet it didn't even reach the most words of the other people.

This sucks. Thank you for the resume, FH!

The redded part is outrageous in my view. I don't like Caveman, but he was also supposed to be a main character. The same applies to Teyla and Beckett. S4 numbers should be interesting.

And yep, Weir was NOT a support character.

[Anuna]

Yes it's outrageous. But again, i have to point out... Shep had the least words in TWR but he definitely wasn't talking for nothing there. *sighs*

Ignore me, folks. Great work FH!
