The time went so quickly with talk about everything and anything, but surprisingly very little about Stargate. I mentioned about the bit of a possibility of romance... and they seemed a bit surprised and Joe asked if that was something I’d enjoy. I think I pulled a face and said i’d rather see firefights, action and lots of blowing things up. 
At this point, Linz was still fangirling David, while Joe showed me some pics on his iphone, very sweet pics of his dog, and he gave a lil snuffle. Alas then it was time to go back to work... for them, not for us. 
Brigitte then told us that JM was ready to meet us, I wonder if he had been preparing his battle armour all morning.
He seemed to just appear out of thin air, and before we knew it he was standing in front of us and smiling. He seemed genuinely pleased to see us. I told him I wasn’t that bad in person, and that I wouldn’t hug him too much. He walked us over to stage 6 to where the ‘Gate room is, and we waved to Marty G en route, smart man, he kept his distance. Mr M was absolutely lovely... until he stole our wallets. And showed us around the set, and talked to us about the blog, and about Remnants and how passionate he was about it and that he’d fight to keep certain things in it. He’d encountered resistance in some areas, but he felt those scenes needed to be there, and it was important to him.
I know he gets a bad press sometimes, and I know i’ve given him a hard time on some issues, but he understands how passionate we were about the show and that we get angry and upset because it’s something we care about. And the mods may want to snip this out if they feel the need, but for some people that say TPTB and others don’t care about the show, then i’m sorry, but seeing the cast, crew and producers up close and personal and everything that goes into things on a daily basis, I can honestly say they’re very passionate about it, and want things to be great for the fans, and they try and do their best to accommodate a wide variety of views and tastes into the show. So we talked about passion, and then Linz and I went and played Stargate tag before going up the steps by the ‘gateroom and sitting with JM, who had a smile on his face, must have been after he lifted our wallets. Either that or he was really nervous about where our elbows were.
Linz and I headed over to see Val in wardrobe, where we met up with Jason Momoa fixing his guitar case. He’s so tall!!! At 5 foot 1 and ¾ I paled into comparison. He’s very sweet and very shy. We talked about his tattoo which always fascinated me, and no I didn’t pull up my top and show him mine. I do have my limits ya know. 
We talked about the technique of how he got it set on his arm, and it really is fantastic up close and personal. Then we got chatting about his wig. It does look very real close up and you can hardly tell it’s a wig/weave. He was unfortunately busy, so we didn’t get very long to speak to him, so Brigitte escorted us to see Val. We had a lovely chat about the boys clothes, and I remarked to Val that Sheppard should definitely have some more casual clothing for season five and if it was at all possible could she leave off some buttons. We checked out Rachel’s maternity clothes and Linz and I said they were really beautiful. She seemed delighted that we’d taken such interest in what the actors wear.
Then off we went to the second set where they were shooting a scene from FC/TLT on the Daedy. Linz came over all gushy and girly, it’s just a good job that she was sat down with the lovely Andy Mikita otherwise I think she would have kissed his shoes or fainted. Andy talked to us about some of the season 4 eps, and we told him how much we adored the ones he directed in particular Midway, and he said he thoroughly enjoyed working on that episode. He then handed over to Linz a continuity pic, which alas we cannot reveal it until after the ep airs as it contains a major spoiler and we wouldn’t want to get Andy into trouble. So we’ll save that and some of the other set pics until after the eps have aired. Sorry.

During this time one of the actors banged their heads, we felt it from where we were. 
I laughed so hard in some places.
