Dark One

Have you seen any of the ads for a series called House? Laurie's in it as the title character. He's pretty grizzled looking in it. He's no longer the foppish Prince George (though he'll always be that character to me, just like Harrison Ford is Han Solo, Arnold is the Terminator, Stallone is Rambo, Rowan Atkinson is Black Adder, etc).

Hugh Laurie. That's pretty durn grizzled. Though not as grizzled as that one old SNL sketch of who is more grizzled.

Also...grizzled.

Rikti Infiltrator - Log out on the mothership during a raid

Gardener - Log out by The Woodsman in Eden

Construction Worker - Log out on building undergoing reconstruction in Faultline

Given the universe that has stargates plus beaming technology, it makes sense for military installations to have multiple weapons lockers around the base (especially near a known weak point - the stargate). When you may be forced to respond to a beam-in situation or an invasion via stargate (can't remember if that one was cut off from the main network or not), you can't be running back to a secured armory for reloads or arming.

Also given that the only people that should be on-base are those who have been cleared for off-planet work (or visitation), security in the sense of having everything under lock and key takes a backseat to faster response time, IMO.

Ya, my area only gets Frankenberry & Booberry once a year (generally about the middle of October to about the middle of November, depending upon how long the supply lasts), if that. Some years we don't get any of the good stuff. I think it's one or two shipments tops.

There's a happy medium between SG-1's superheroics and the deeply, deeply flawed & 99% unlikable characters on the Destiny.


*SPOILERS*



As to the episode itself, I finally watched it. I don't know if it's me or what, but once they got that drone on-board I figured they would go for an IFF plot device. I mean, those drones have to have some way of identifying themselves from the targets.

And having the second command ship take over the drones from another ship would be bad in the sense that if someone gained control of the one C&C, they could gain control of the weapons of the other ships. Granted, a check along the lines of "IF command.codepresence = NULL THEN command.ship = new.commandIFF" wouldn't be too out of line, presuming they are using the same OS version in both command vessels.

Miss the last sentence of the paragraph?

Haven't had a bowl of CC in a long time. About the only cereal I eat anymore is the occassional bowl of stocked-up Frankenberry or Booberry. Buy about a dozen boxes once a year during the single time they are sold here.

Their plan is a plan with a capital Plan. The "Plan" is some nebulous goal that isn't really defined in the movie. Ideally, few if any people outside of the Bureau know about it.

NOF managed in one episode to give us the superpowered fight that Heroes couldn't do in four seasons.

It should've been, "Oh god! Tentacles! Guys, this never ends well in anime! Run for it!".

Better hope you have a colonic map on file...

Hell, now I'm scared to attempt this. It's been 6.5 years since I set up my account. Hell if I can remember anything from it. Most days, I'm lucky if I can remember what I had for breakfast, much less something more than half a decade ago.

Edit - Well, what do you know. Got it in one. But gotta say, that captcha image is horrendous. Can't distinguish half the letters.

I don't know. It's been a long time since that first batch of additional explore badges got put in. I can't recall with any certainty, but I think it affected the RWZ beacon.

I am loyal to Him On Earth! Cast the label of Heretic carefully lest ye be accused of Mutantcy!

A "gift" for switching early and overwriting your old shortcuts, meaning you can't use your old launcher for whatever time remains if you don't like the new thing? Still sad.

There was a reason I never used the multi-launcher back when there was a lot more games under the NCSoft banner, despite having played several of them. Continually advertising Guild Wars, Lineage, and Aion is not going to get me to sub to those games.
