That was so lame. When I heard that Richard Kind was to appear on Atlantis, I thought: How awesome, they're bringing back a character from the original movie! But then they did something that I despise to the bottom of my fan heart... they used a familiar face for a totally new character. I hate it when they do that, like when the guy who played Narim played Weir's husband or that little girl from "Bane" turned into Cassandra in s7. I know they realize most fans will recognize them, but still it sort of insults my intelligence or at the very least tears a hole in my suspension of disbelief because it makes it über obvious that I'm really only watching a TV show. So lame. But I ended up actually enjoying "Irresistable" ("Irresponsible" not so much)... I thought Lucius was hilarious, don't kill me, please
Yeah, Richard Kind. Played Dr. Gary Meyers in the first movie. Back to topic, whew.
Btw, from an Egyptologist's point of view, that translation scene with the chalkboard is rather impossible. The text inscribed on the coverstones is so easy in grammar and vocabulary that there is no way a Dr. of Egyptology (and I assume that's what Meyers was, or why would he be the man for the job) could get it anywhere near as wrong as they had it before Daniel came along.
