[QUOTE=Tracy Jane]There's a new thread guys, to show Joe our appreciation. It's called, funnily enough, the Joe Mallozzi Appreciation Thread and can be found by clicking on this link or going to the General Discussion subforum.
Please leave wishes and happy memories there, and show him how much we've appreciated having him with us at Gateworld this past 7 years.[/QUOTE
Thanks for the heads up Tracy Jane. Many of us seem to enjoy "trashing" tptb, without having the responsibility for producing and writing 2 TV shows for TV. If it were "easy"......we'd all be doing it, but we aren't, are we? Maybe we don't always agree with the scripts or the direction the characters are being taken, but this forum is here just for that purpose, to express our reservations.....but we must do so with respect and civility.On fighting:
Farrah: "A swordsman does not fear death, if he dies with honor."
Dr. Who: "Then he's an idiot."

Originally posted by ann_sgcfanooooh and she is playing opposite Joe Lando. He's very cute IMHO!!! Lucky lucky AT playing opposite so many cute male co-stars! THis is the one that she plays a detective in isn't it? I'm looking forward to it!
But I'm a bit concerned now that I saw the credits as there is another actress, Maria somebody or other, whose name comes first ... could that be Abby Lord? And, Amanda is playing a non-lead?! Won't know until the telemovie comes out, I guess.

Originally posted by Mandysg1Hmm? With all this talk of Ben liking to be so close and then wondering if he can ride a motorcycle. I just hope they don't come up with a scene where Sam's teaching Cam to ride...a motorcycle
I just wonder where he would be putting his hands

Originally posted by minigeekYeah, I know it sounds terrible. But you have to remember that the actors aren't promoting a commodity, they are the commodity. The product they're selling is - themselves (as cringe-worthy as that might sound). So the studios and the producers have a great deal of money invested in timely production. Major changes which could occur to an actor's body would delay or even cancel production which would mean losing a great deal of money, hence the clauses. It's not like other professions in that there's a personal line that doesn't get crossed (with respect to professional ethics), because the actors are, in fact, "the product" being marketed (just as much as the final show is), the studio does have that right. As dirty as it might sound, in the industry actors often (jokingly) refer to their plight as a form of "legal" prostitution, in the sense that it's their physicality which is (in large part) up for sale. The actor's body is their tool; is their product.
<snip>
In the end, it's not really much different than (say) a woman agreeing to be part of the crew of an isolated research station, or any other kind of gig where (even if their spouse is with them), getting pregnant wouldn't be particularily advisable, given professional considerations.
In the end, it's the woman's choice. Entirely. Whether to sign/agree to it, or not.

Spoiler:[QUOTE=ChillinTheMost.]
One other thing: In the scene that y'all are talking about where Mitchell stands up real close to Sam and she seems to jump back, I think they both stood up at the same time and didn't expect to find themselves that close to each other. I think it surprised both of them, didn't they both jump back a little? Amanda/Sam more, but I think Ben/Mitchell also reacted in a way that showed he was a little surprised that they ended up so close to each other. Anyway, he was supposed to stage-whisper to her, so he was aiming for close, but maybe not that close. Amanda/Sam, for her part, maybe was emphasizing her reaction because they were close and Sam didn't realize that Mitchell wanted to whisper something to her. Did that make sense? I think it was a combination of both of them standing at the same time and being surprised that their individual paths brought them so close together and the fact that Mitchell was trying to get close to whisper.
that was basically my interpretation as well.

Originally posted by ChillinTheMostActually, a bumbling detective sounds like great fun. From the little I know about Amanda, I think she would relish a part like that. She seems to have a wonderful silly streak. Also, after playing the highly competent Sam Carter for so long, a silly role would be fun!Yepp, it's blank down here.
