    In reply to Stargate Atlantis Comic Promises Hot McKay 2D Action
    I think there should be an episode where Sheppard and McKay are merged into one person by the Stargate. Kind of like that episode of Voyager with Tuvix. Okay, well exactly like that episode of Voyager.

    But just think how awesome would McShep be.

    @twophrasebark: They already did something along the likes of that back in Season Two, IIRC, where McKay shared his mind with that of a female marine.

    Sometimes tv makes a decent jump to comic books, but Rodney McKay isn't Rodney McKay without David Hewlett.

    Though as much as I love McKay, I do hope Hewlett manages to branch out now that Atlantis is gone. Remember him in Cube? He has range!

    In the meantime, I eagerly await this week's John Sheppard - uh, I mean Joe Flanigan - appearance on Warehouse 13. Let's see if his hair moves!

    @Mortimer Gray: I'm afraid you might be right, but I'll check it out to see whether the writing pulls something magical in capturing the characters. It has happened before, especially when writers have had a really good performance to inspire them. I miss Atlantis most; maybe this will help, maybe not, but it's worth a try.

    Brilliant! Just do a show with Rodney McKay! They could make it like the Greatest American Hero. He could retire and become a teacher. And then some aliens could give him a costume that gives him superpowers. Then Shepperd joins the FBI and gets Rodney's help solving cases.

    Somebody please hand Guillermo del Toro a copy of Jonathan Lethem's "Gun, With Occasional Music" and tell him to go hog wild.


    After seeing this, I figure it'd be right up his alley, and he's probably the only person in Hollywood who could convincingly pull off genetically enhanced kangaroo thugs and sheep women while still retaining the trippy Philip K Dick meets Raymond Chandler feel of the book.

    I feel this is a good time to come out and share with you all. Thanks to shows like Gummibears, Thundercats, Heathcliff (Oh Cleo of the Catillac cats!) etc... sexualizing anthropomorphic animal ladies I totally have a thing for chicks with tails so I have a good feeling about this film.

    In reply to McKay Gives A Glimpse Of Stargate's Backstage Raunchiness
    I'm afraid I have a couple of issues with this article.

    The "Starcrossed" bits were designed for "A Dog's Breakfast". It's something David decided to develop after using it as a device in the film, not something he created and then decided to put into the film.

    I am thrilled with promoting David's work, and getting Starcrossed moving forward, but please be consistent with the writing and the facts. The first quote from David isn't even shown as a quote. It sounds like you are the one developing the project.

    Worst of all, I fail to see how the title of the article actually relates to its content. The article isn't about Stargate, backstage, or raunchiness. The content of the article should be enough to draw people without a misleading, hyped up title.

    @DrewFapack: Hi there... Thanks for writing! Sorry, the first quote from David was supposed to show up as a block quote, not sure why it didn't. I fixed it now. I'm not sure what your point is about Dog's Breakfast. As for the headline, I came up with it. Sorry if it annoyed you -- but it seemed a reasonable inference to assume that if Hewlett made a TV movie set behind the scenes of a science fiction show, he'd be drawing heavily on the experience of making Stargate, the only science fiction show he's associated with. We'd love to hear more about this project and help set the record straight - why don't you email Meredith and give her some more details? Thanks again for writing.

    I know it's proably a stupid question, but is this based on the novel "the Starcrossed", by Ben Bova? That was a funny novel, but I was rather annoyed at the ending. See the blurb on the back implied at the end implied (at least to me) that the characters would end up somehow in space themselves, but that never happened. Still funny, though, and sorry for any spoilers.

    @EllaAncaeus: I must have read a different edition, with different blurb, b/c I never got that idea.


    I want to read it again, it's been years or maybe decades.

    Uhmm...Is that in any way connected to the novel by Ben Bova called "Starcrossed"? It's a comedy about the behind-the-scenes making of a science fiction series. (based unofficialy on the Starlost, and particularly about Harlan Ellison and his struggle to get a sci fi show on air). Would this be based on that? 'Cause if not, better have lawyers on retainer. Ellison is extremely litigious.

    @VedetteHarpie: You can't copyright titles, and isn't Bova dead?


    Even if Harlan has no standing to sue, he is going to bitch mightily.


    This book was the first thing I thought of when I heard about this. I hope Hewlett's been warned by someone.


    (It's a funny book even if you don't know the painful history of "Starlost".)
