Why yes, I did owe you some replies... I put it off because I thought I could get around to them while you were on vacation. LOL, I should have known myself better. ^^
I'm watching that happen right now with Damian Lewis.
I haven't seen either of those movies, but that's it exactly! Good actors who throw themselves into the role, and when they play slimeballs, well they're just not all that likeable. ^__^ Amusingly enough, though, there are also actors who are just so fun that even when playing bad guys they end up likable. (Of course, some bad people *are* nice other than the parts that make them bad. Even mass murderers love their pets...)
And then, on my third viewing of the movie, bam! Suddenly he was hot.
{giggle} Yes! That one too! I tend to blame ones like that on hormones -- wasn't watching it at the right times before or something. ;p
Funny thing, I had him pegged as the science guy!
He sure doesn't look like the military type! Too skinny! ;) I keep thinking that if those were *real* guns in the show, he wouldn't be able to lift them, let alone take the recoil. LOL... (Though Airforce doesn't necessarily need bulk or ability to fire ground weapons since they're in the air most of the time. But that's being real, not suspending my disbelief, lol.)
What's the premise of the show? A new gate?
New Galaxy, cut off from Earth. So no cross-overs with SG1 (at least for first season) and a new enemy. In the first episode, they used the earth gate with a one-time powerup to gate a couple hundred scientists to the new galaxy they'd just found out about (an old Ancient place, turned out to be Atlantis). There isn't enough power on the other side to do another galaxy hop, but they have enough to do local gating.
I wasn't initially expecting much more than an SG-clone, and in a lot of ways it still is, but the characters (for me) make it a fun show. ^^ (Not that SG-clones are bad... ;p )
