Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
A few, small TV tidbits to share:
– SciFi has finally announced what everyone else seems to have known for a while now: Paul McGillion is back on Stargate Atlantis.
– Kristen Bell is rumored to be heading on over to Lost
– Can Heroes live up to expectations in Season 2?
– Ron Moore decides to stay on with NBC Universal a little longer, but not so much with the sci-fi.
– Flash Gordon not only shows promise, but already gets a DVD. We’ll have to see. I’m kinda fond of that 80’s cheesy version.
Our good friends over at Star Wars Blog have captured some great pictures of Club Jade’s very own Rogue and Caitlin in their Star Wars costumes from Comic-Con.
Their entry in the Masquerade featured a send-up of DreamGirls called Rebel Dreams that won Lucasfilm’s Industry Award.
Congratulations!
Kristin, from E!’s Watch with Kristin segments, is a total TV addict who seems to have an affinity for many of the shows we adore.
The time has come again to vote for the Annual Tater Tops Awards.
Head on over and fulfill your democratic destiny.
The latest entry in the “who will be in the next Trek movie” saga is the casting of Pavel Chekov; the youth-targeted, Beatles-reminiscent navigator.
Anton Yelchin is supposedly under not-so-well-kept-secret negotiations with Paramount.
With a name like that, how could he not be cast?
GateWorld is featuring an interview with Martin Gero done in March. (Why it takes them so long to transcribe and post these things is a mystery.) Some changes have already occurred since the interview took place, but it’s still a great insight into the “soft reset” of Season 3, the new world of Season 4 and life without SG1.
Speaking of life and SG1, want a chance to own a little SG1 history? MGM is offering the chance to win one of the nifty 10th Anniversary watches.
Yes. I agree. Silly of me to go away on a business trip the week after Nerd Prom. So much Gate-geeky news coming out of there.
– Atlantis floats on over to a 10pm Friday time slot, starting September 28th
– GateWorld summarizes the rather giggly panels at Comic-Con
– David Hewlett celebrates the nerd love with an editorial on SciFi
– David also breaks the news to those who haven’t seen his fiancee in person that the Stargate Baby Factory continues to be alive and well. (So that would be in addition to Joe Flanigan, Robert Cooper, and Rachel Luttrell this season alone!)
– Producer Joe Mallozzi makes the SCB Campaign happy with pictures of the happy return of Carson Beckett
– More on the big, honkin’ full series box set and its extras. Y’know. For those of us who haven’t been collecting these for years and would have to spend a lot of money just to get those bonus features. (Not that I’m bitter, or anything.)
For the tenth year in a row, Stargate had a presence at San Diego Comic-Con. (Apparently, this year they were giving away free haircuts if you agreed to cut in and/or spray on a Stargate logo.)
This year, they were pushing the upcoming SG1 straight-to-DVD movies. Sadly, it looks like they’re going to be delaying their release a little to get some better effects completed. Ark of Truth will now be coming out in the Spring and Continuum will now be coming out in the fall of 2008. But the happy news was that third series is still going!
Producer Joe Mallozzi got lots of pictures of the cast and crew who attended (along with his usual list of all foods available).
And David Hewlett reports that if any of the SGA cast looked particularly stupid in their panel, it was all due to being unable to hear each other.
Looks like things are rockin’ along with the new Bionic Woman. A new teaser trailer is out.
Ahh. Books. The stuff of the gods they are!
So it’s only fitting that the chariots that wing them back to their destinations on the shelves are appropriately outfitted.
Unshelved has announced the 2007 Pimp My Bookcart Contest.
I think there’s a lot to live up to after last year’s contest. However, we think that one of our librarians needs to be bringing up the geek factor a little. I’m just sayin’…
Y’know, I’m starting to suspect that Dunc has a secret yearning to be crafty, in the Hobby Lobby kinda sense, at least. She keeps coming across this nifty stuff that really has to be shared. Since there are many crafty types on Club Jade (who are actually out of the closet, that is), we present them to you here:
Still reluctant to turn back into a Muggle after the hype of the past few weeks?
– An entire blog devoted to the knitty side of the Wizarding World, or
– Counterfeit some Wizard coinage for the next time you hit Diagon Alley.
Okay. You’d rather stick with the needle arts?
– Ease yourself out of Harry Potter and back into the Star Wars galaxy by knitting your favorite baby a felted Yoda hat
– Money woes preventing you from buying that new game system? Embroider your own!
– Don’t forget to crochet some games to go with it, while you’re at it
– Is sewing more your thing? How about hitchhiking across the galaxy with this really nifty Planetoid Purse?
Alright. Your skills lie elsewhere. Like food maybe?
– Make your favorite geek’s snacktime special with Circuitry Snacks
– Or ramp up the classiness of your wedding with this Mario cake or an entire XBox!
If you are geekily crafty, we’d love to share it. Just drop us a line!
