Did you happen to go to George Takei's talk? I'm fine, finished the first Jumper novel recently (I liked it better than the film).

Yeah, I third the motion...the anti thread seems quiet lately...probably because of growing indifference/real life stuff...in my case, anyway.

awww thanks guys!! ((hugs)) its just hard being here sometimes you know. (not the anti thread) but the total and utter BS that goes on otherwise

its not good for my blood pressure

Did you happen to go to George Takei's talk? I'm fine, finished the first Jumper novel recently (I liked it better than the film).

i didn't actually... saw him loads of times though hehe, erm... who did i see...
i save david winning and talked to him quite a bit (directed andromeda and atlantis), kevin sorbo..he's such a good egg. Ed the sock hehe, a whole bunch of artists incl bob bowen who drew futurama... and he drew a pic of fry for me. i meet all the 'noob' guys so all that pwned stuff makes more sense to me now. and meet Micheal Rosenbaum who is a sweetheart and very funny. Oh and seen the chick from BSG, thought about getting her autograph only cause she was in SPN... but there were tons of fanboys and her auto's were a bit pricey ...i'll let you know when i post my con report on my LJ

did you read griffin's story?

Yeah, I third the motion...the anti thread seems quiet lately...probably because of growing indifference/real life stuff...in my case, anyway.

...i'm trying to let the happy of spn fill the void of what altantis used to be.

[Reefgirl]

Hey Paris, nice to know you had a good time at your con

[marielabbott]

did you read griffin's story?

No, but I'm going to. And Reflex too. As soon as they come in. My library is ordering both. The librarian who orders fiction will buy pretty much anything I suggest, bless her.

...i'm trying to let the happy of spn fill the void of what altantis used to be.

Yeah, I've been watching shows that are better than season 4 was, so it's dulling the disappointment. A bit.

[Reiko]

Paris!!! Welcome back!

[Integrabyte]

Paris!!! Welcome back!

Ditto

[mcbarr]

Welcome back, Paris!

[Falcon Horus]

Just a small update -> I'm almost done with season 4. I'm hoping to be able to bring you the results of this season a bit later from now.

[Falcon Horus]

Ladies & Gentlemen, I present you the screentime of season 4:

Spoiler:

Season 4 had a total screentime of 861m34s, which averaged out into 43m05s per episode.

JF/JS
TOTAL = 282m44s
AVERAGE = 14m08s

SEASON 3
TOTAL = 253m14s
AVERAGE = 12m41s

JF/JS gained quite a bit of total time, but averaged only 2 minutes higher. He scored the most screentime in Outcast (415), 27m22s and the least in Trio (416), 1m16s.


AT/SC
TOTAL = 112m54s
AVERAGE = 5m39s

AT/SC has no previous season to compare to as she's a new comer in this season. She scored the most screentime in Trio (416), 24m33s and didn't appear in Travelers (405), Missing (407), Miller's Crossing (409), This Mortal Coil (410), Spoils of War (412) & Harmony (414).


RL/TE
TOTAL = 135m35s
AVERAGE = 6m47s

SEASON 3
TOTAL = 130m41s
AVERAGE = 6m32s

RL/TE gains about 5 minutes in total timing but unfortunately remains rather static in average, only gaining about 15 seconds. She scored the most screentime in Missing (407), 25m34s and didn't appear in Miller's Crossing (409), Harmony (414), Outcast (415) & Trio (416).


JM/RD
TOTAL = 137m22s
AVERAGE = 6m52s

SEASON 3
TOTAL = 130m18s
AVERAGE = 6m31s

JM/RD gains about 7 minutes in total timing but unfortunately, like RL/TE, remains rather static in average, only gaining about 21 seconds. He scored the most screentime in Reunion (403), 16m48s and didn't appear in Harmony (414) & Trio (416).


DH/RM
TOTAL = 273m30s
AVERAGE = 13m41s

SEASON 3
TOTAL = 246m43s
AVERAGE = 12m20s

DH/RM gained quite a bit of total time, but averaged only one and a half minute higher. He scored the most screentime in Trio (416), 28m16s and the least in Outcast (415), 1m22s.

Now for the recurring characters:

TH/EW
TOTAL EPISODE TIME = 215m21s
AVERAGE TOT. SCREENTIME = 43m04s

TOTAL = 25m23s
AVERAGE = 5m05s

SEASON 3
TOTAL = 175m04s
AVERAGE = 8m45s

TH/EW was blasted to recurring and as such lost quite a bit of total time and lost about 3 minutes in average timing. She had the most screentime in Lifeline (402), 10m22s and appears in the 'previously on Stargate Atlantis' bit from Spoils of War (412), 00m05s.


PM/CB
TOTAL EPISODE TIME = 85m58s
AVERAGE TOT. SCREENTIME = 42m59s

TOTAL = 18m01
AVERAGE = 9m01s

SEASON 3
TOTAL = 83m52s
AVERAGE = 4m12s

PM/CB lost a lot of time, but has only 2 episodes in season 4, so we can't really compare his season 4 stats with those of season 3. Same with TH/EW really.


CR/KH
TOTAL TIME = 86m21s
AVERAGE TOT. SCREENTIME = 43m11s

TOTAL = 2m56s
AVERAGE = 1m28s

SEASON 3
TOTAL = 2m39s
AVERAGE = 1m20s

CR/KH scores higher in season 4 than she does in season 3. She gained a few seconds, not that it does her much good since she's out for the count and won't be back (most likely).


And onto the one that people asked to be included so we could make the comparison to RL/TE:

JS/JK
TOTAL EPISODE TIME = 559m29s
AVERAGE TOTAL SCREENTIME = 43m02

TOTAL = 106m05s
AVERAGE = 8m10s

JS/JK appears in 13 out of 20 season 4 episodes. She scored the most screentime in Missing (407), 26m12s and the least in BAMSR (412), 00m06s where she appears in the 'previously on Stargate Atlantis' bit of the episode.


The part everybody has been waiting for:
KELLER vs TEYLA

TOTAL SCREENTIME = 29m30s – 1770s more for Teyla (3 episodes more in total)
AVERAGE SCREENTIME = 1m23s – 83s more for Keller (3 episodes less in total)

Screentime.doc - contains all the results of all the seasons so far.

[marielabbott]

Excellent research, FH!

The Keller vs. Teyla results....

I can't wait to see the results of season five, with Keller in 15 eps.

[Reiko]

.: Screentime. Scary o_O Thanks for posting

.: Liked the Keller vs Teyla comparision, it was convenient. Can't say I'm surprised.

.: I am a little surprised however that overall Keller beats Carson in both seasons two and three... I guessed it would be, yet wasn't so sure. Turned out my instinct was right.

[Falcon Horus]

Ladies & Gentlemen, I hereby conclude the research for now (until season 5 starts) and offer you the results of the wordcount:

Spoiler:

Season 4 had a total of 95201 words, which averaged out on 4760 words per episode. In comparison to season 3 there's a loss of 1806 words in total, and 90 words in average.

JF/JS
TOTAL = 16922
AVERAGE = 846

SEASON 3
TOTAL = 16828
AVERAGE = 841

IN COMPARISON TO S3
TOT JOE + 94
AV JOE + 5

JF/JS scored the highest wordcount in Travelers (405), 1586 words; the least in Trio (416), 58 words. In comparison to season 3 he does better in season 4.


AT/SC
TOTAL = 7066
AVERAGE = 353

AT/SC scored the highest wordcount in The Seer (408), 1168 words. She doesn't appear in Travelers (405), Missing (407), Miller's Crossing (409), This Mortal Coil (410), Spoils of War (412) & Harmony (414).


RL/TE
TOTAL = 5863
AVERAGE = 293

SEASON 3
TOTAL = 4705
AVERAGE = 235

IN COMPARISON TO S3
TOT RACHEL + 1158
AV RACHEL + 58

RL/TE scored the highest wordcount in Missing (407), 1317 words; the least in The Last Man, 0 words. She doesn't appear in Miller's Crossing (409), Harmony (414), Outcast (415) & Trio (416). In comparison to season 3 she does slightly better in season 4.


JM/RD
TOTAL = 3855
AVERAGE = 193

SEASON 3
TOTAL = 3085
AVERAGE = 154

IN COMPARISON TO S3
TOT JASON + 770
AV JASON + 39

JM/RD scored the highest wordcount in Reunion (403), 698 words. He doesn't appear in Harmony (414) & Trio (416). In comparison to season 3 he does slightly better in season 4.


DH/RM
TOTAL = 26051
AVERAGE = 1303

SEASON 3
TOTAL = 26347
AVERAGE = 1317

IN COMPARISON TO S3
TOT DAVID - 296
AV DAVID - 14

DH/RM scored the highest wordcount in The Last Man (420), 2882 words; the least in Missing (407), 98 words. For the first time he loses words instead of gaining more, in comparison to season 3 he does better in that season than in season 4. Yet, he remains the strongest talker.

Recurring people:

TH/EW
TOTAL WORD COUNT EPISODES = 20009
AVERAGE TOT. WORD COUNT = 4002

TOTAL = 1386
AVERAGE = 277

SEASON 3
TOTAL WORDCOUNT = 97007
AVERAGE TOT. WORDCOUNT = 4850

TOTAL = 10201
AVERAGE = 510

IN COMPARISON TO S3
TOT - 76998
TOT TORRI - 8815
AV - 3848
AV TORRI - 233

TH/EW was dumped to recurring and one can see she lost quite the words in that transition.


PM/CB
TOTAL WORD COUNT EPISODES = 13272
AVERAGE TOT. WORD COUNT = 4424

TOTAL = 1308
AVERAGE = 436

SEASON 3
TOTAL WORDCOUNT EPISODES = 97007
AVERAGE TOT. WORDCOUNT = 4850

TOTAL = 5388
AVERAGE = 269

IN COMPARISON TO S3
TOT - 83735
TOT PAUL - 4080
AV - 426
AV PAUL + 167

PM/CB was dumped to recurring and one can see he lost quite the words in that transition, yet he gained in average.


CR/KH
TOTAL = 4511
TOTAL = 197


And now the one we've all been waiting for:

JS/JK
TOTAL WORD COUNT EPISODES = 61995
AVERAGE TOT. WORD COUNT = 4769

TOTAL = 7122
AVERAGE = 548

KELLER vs TEYLA
TOTAL WORDS = 1259 words more for Keller (2 episodes less in total)
AVERAGE WORDS = 255 words more for Keller (2 episodes less in total)

Trivia:
Out of 20 episodes, Jason has 9 episodes where his wordcount doesn't reach 100 words.

Out of 20 episodes, David has 12 episodes where his wordcount is above a 1000 and of those 12 there are 3 episodes where his count goes above 2000 words.

For more details, you can download Wordcount.doc.

See you back in the season 5 thread once the next season starts for more screentime and wordcount fun.
