In case you didn't know it,
Bruce Campbell is my new BFF. Ever since my
visit to the set, I have a new appreciation for the man. So, it pains me to report that Bruce recently was filming in Miami when he came up lame.
While chatting with Maureen Ryan of the Chicago Tribune, creator Matt Nix was talking about the new season of
Burn Notice -- more on that below -- when he casually mentioned
Bruce Campbell was hurt on the set. "He actually just pulled his hamstring doing a stunt, I just got a call, he's on the way to the hospital."

So let's say you had an extra $900 lying around and you really loved science fiction shows. What DVDs would you buy?
Amazon is making your decision a little bit easier for you. They have a special bundle for sale, nine different FOX/MGM shows at 49% off. OK, it's still a little pricey at $900 (you could probably put that money toward your rent), but look at what you get: the Buffy, The Vampire Slayer Collector's Set, The Angel Collector's Set, The X-Files Ultimate Collection, all ten Stargate: SG-1 seasons and all three Stargate Atlantis seasons, all four seasons of The Pretender (plus the movies), all three seasons of Roswell, both seasons of Dark Angel, and Firefly: The Complete Series. Holy crap!

(S10E16) After a week of hellish home buying,
Bad Guys was a welcome episode of SG-1. I didn't take the plot very seriously - and neither did the entire cast. Most of the performances were a bit over the top - from the hysterical screaming woman to the hero wannabe security guard. Despite being completely unrelated to the current story line, the writers did make some effort to tie things in.

(S10E15) Bounty is one of the funniest
SG-1 episodes this season. The
Orion Syndicate Lucian Alliance has put a price on SG-1s head, and plenty of bounty hunters want in. Vala was in rare form, Cam got a little action, and Daniel was saved by... a city bus. The show gets the plot out of the way pretty quickly, so we go to relax and watch each member of the team deal with their own personal assassin.

(S10E14) I've been trying to figure out just where the title of
The Shroud comes from. I've still got no idea, but I do know that
SG-1 turned in a great episode last night. Unfortunately, the previews gave away some plot details. I spent most of the episode wondering when Daniel would break free from his confinement chair.

(S10E13) When I read the description of this one, I couldn't help but think of the alternate universe
Star Trek episodes. I was a bit worried that it would be an episode of unethical commandos. Thank god, none of the main characters was sporting a goatee. (I'm not counting our bumbling scientist) Instead, I was treated to a rather interesting exploration of a very plausible alternate (but stargatified) Earth.

(S10E12) When I first saw this episode of
SG-1, it was a review copy. Usually these are pretty rough. They lack special effects, final editing isn't quite done, and there's usually the random bad voice over. Since Sci-Fi has had so much time to get these ready for showing (not to mention the fact that the show was already on in the UK) things were a bit different. I found myself reaching for the fast forward button a few times, but things turned out pretty decent in the end.

(S10E11) Stargate SG-1 came back with a freakin' good episode. Before the credits roll we're treated to a nice review of the past and the team is back to being chased down by a rather grumpy dragon. It's an intense start, and the rest of the show delivers on the promise of a great final run for the series.

More news is coming out about the third Stargate series that is currently under development. According to our friends at Gateworld (we're just saying they're our friends -- they may despise us) the show now has a working title. The name is . . . drum roll, please . . . Stargate Universe.
That's actually just the working title, according to executive producer Robert C. Cooper. It sounds like a decent title anyway, and they aren't making the mistake like Paramount did when they named the last Star Trek series just Enterprise. Editorial over, back to the story. Cooper says that the new program was originally conceived as a stand-alone movie, something that would fit into the scope of the Stargate universe. However,Cooper and producer Brad Wright were able to tweak the idea enough to turn the concept into a weekly series to the glee of the studios.
Universe will be set in the current Stargate continuity but, according to Robert, it will not relate to anything that has been in any previous series. In other words, there's probably a slim chance that you'll see any crossover from older sibling Stargate Atlantis. As to when the show will air, Cooper says he and Wright will concentrate on the Universe pilot after wrapping principal photography on the two new SG-1 movies in June.

(S10E06) SG-1 is back from it's plot hiatus for 200. Morena finally makes her appearance in the show as Vala's huggable but evil genetically altered daughter. I was happy to see the editors put together a more meaningful 'previously on
Stargate' showing.

(S10E04) The opening Stargate scenes caught my attention. O'Neill getting mind smooched with the repository of Ancient knowledge happened a loooong time ago.(Like back in season seven) Quite a bit of time was spent explaining that Baal was stealing Stargates.
I've got to give Baal some credit. He does know how to make an entrance. He makes his way to Stargate Command by flying a small ship straight at it. He's like an evil alien
Count of Monte Cristo.

(S10E03)If you were getting tired of SG-1 getting pushed around by the Ori in the last couple of episodes, this one helps make up for it all. The team is finally doing some proactive stuff right from the beginning.
Oh, and Daniel finally gets to Atlantis.
He keeps Vala on a pretty tight leash, but they still have some fun. Meanwhile, Carter and Mitchell have made off with McKay and a load of citrus fruit. Ok, not really, but the lemon comes in handy.
