Its the exact same thing down here. Aparently some engineers got so annoyed by it a few years ago, that we know refer to annything off the engineering quad as “Happy Land”
In Happy Land, everyone is smiling, they’re yeakking on their ceel phones, throwing around frisbees, laying in the grass reading a non-requiried book, and generally enjoying themselves. But back in the engineering quad; all the engineers, cs’ers, physics, chemists, biology and anthropology majors have to deal with somethign like this:
In a high temperature, gas cooled fast breeder eactor, how long are the control rods, make no assumptions as to what the moderator is? Devise an experiment to determine how much energy a water strider normally expends while on the water, then compare how much energy is expended when tryign to excape a mating attempt? What is south of the south pole? Under what circumstance can a 1.4 au star becaome a black hole, describe in detail the process? How many faces is on a hyper-hyper cube when 1/3 of it is sharing the same space a a hyper-torus? WTF?quote:

does somebody remember why Crusade was cancelled and when?
Crusade was aired durign the summer of 99. It was cancelled over creative differences. IE TNT [i]thought[/i] they knew what was best for the show, JMS righfully disagreed. Eventually TNT just called it quits becaseu he wouldn’t play ball. This all happened before the first show was aired! TNT decided to try to make back some of the money they lost on making the 13 eps, so they aired what they had, and called it a “limited engagement”.
A lot of the sub-plots of Crusade were inspired by the bickering going on offstage. For instance the scene when decocrator is telling them what colors should be on the bridge, and unviels the new uniforms; is JMS’s way of saying stop screwing with my show. There’s a whole bunch of other jokes and stuff that he integreated into the show as a result of their idiocy. I’ll post ’em as I remember ’em.
JMS went to scifi to try to get them to pick up the show, scifi tried to get it into their budget, but they had already spent all their money on original programming for that year, so it was a no go. Ofcourse the following year they started showing reruns of B5. The reruns were a hugs success. Pulling in an average .9-1.1! This was accomplished without any real advertising. Scifi briefly aired ads for B5 2 weeks before they started showing it.
Crusade was shown last spring, as an experiment. It was to see if fans would accept a spin-off. It pulled in an average 1.1, which is very successful for scifi. Scifi by this point knew that a new series or movie would be succesful. So they ordered a new B5 movie. That’s where we are now.Illegal alien, always complaining, number 4, rofl.
AKA, Stan the Man, El Supremo. What no “Tower of Power”?
I’m a little weary about his height though. Only 5’7″, I’m that tall, Brian is much taller then that!
Did you write down what all that fine print is? There has to be more subtle jokes in there soemwhere. Just like how there was a lot of jokes in the Kai: Henry 5th poster.
Thanks!
There’s a lot of “if this then that” stuff floating around. Here what we’ve got so far.
If the movie does well, then they’l make a rangers tv series.
If the tv series does well, then they’ll also bring back Crusade.

Finally, we’ve all heard “What is the sound of one hand clapping?”
well how about no hands?I rarely watch the news around 4 mst. But today was an exception. I was watching HN and I heard Andrea Thompson’s voice. I thought to myself, wow this sounds familiar, then remembered this post and thought, wow I finally get to see her outside of B5.
She looks different on HN. Doesn’t have that “holier then thou” arua about her. That and no gloves and differnt hair style.

What network are you watching sg-1 on Squish?
I’m going to start a new thread about how this forum will handle spoilers and ep reviews in the future.

I’m probably wrong about expedia.com. Just out of curiosity I put in Albuquerque to Hali and it said I can take Air Canada all the way up there. Which is stupid since Air Canada doesn’t serve ABQ.

I am in Australia and would love to meet up with you guys. I am not really caring where – but I must say I am leaning toward Halifax. I went to my local YHA info center and got an information brochure on hostels in Eastern Canada. I would love to go there and am currently trying to save money so I can make it to an Lexx convention “somewhere”.
I would recommend staying at Dalhousie U. up in Hali. But not because of the facilities, just the price. The rooms were smaller then the captains quarters in submarine films! If your a student (which I’m guessign you are) it will only be about $130 (Canada) for 4 nights, w/ tax! You basically get what you pay for though. Which is really just a private room and a bed w/ sheets. But you won’t spend much time in the room anyway, so it shouldn’t matter.
Airfare is whats going to kill you though. I just went to expedia.com and put in a flight from Sydney to Hali. (wed-mon) for July 13 weekend and it doesn’t look pretty. About $2,250 (US)
Ofcourse online travel sites have been expensive recently, so I’d recommend contacting a travel agent, or robbing a bank.
I’ll try to get the uncon date confirmed a little faster, so the airfare doesn’t go up any higher for you.

However, I did get a little annoyed with him in Fluffdaddy because he insisted (despite all previous experience) on going back to Earth, where he KNEW he was going to get in trouble, just for a roll in the hay with Bunny (which he SHOULD have known he wasn’t gonna get anyway!).
As you said, Stan is human. I believe one of the most “human” humans in all of scifi. He’s also a man. Human males think with their other head. So when you think about, Stan was just acting normally.

Yvonne, Australia is actually in the same season run as the UK, I saw the ep your referring too about three weeks ago (was the ritual taking Teal’c to the point of death???).
So don’t worry Headgehog, Yvonne must have seen that ep before, I’m sure it’s S3.
Just saw one about O’Neill training a young SG team
Arg Brainfart! Why can’t everyone just see the same epsiodes and the same season on the same day at the same relative time!?
No I think it was a diffent episode then what your thinking since this is from s4. Unless you have showtime, it new to everyone else.
/spoiler maybe
In this episode Rene (hereafter refeered to as Odo)asked for Earth’s help in a great war. It turns out that the its a civil war. Odo’s culture is about 100 years ahead of earth and Odo’s enemy. But they’re all clones and evil. They want to exterminate the natural borns on their planet. They agree give sg1 all their technology in exchange for heavy water. O’Niell agress but then renigs when he finds out they’re like the nazis. O’Niell and Teal’c use the robot planes to escort the naturals in, to attack the clones, clones go boom, sg1 escapes in time, Odo goes squish on the iris
/end possible spoilerThis was from s4.
Next Episode you see get the title. Maybe we’re all on the same page afterall?

Going for a little Boz Lehrman “Everybody’s Free” there?
I loved the list.
A history teachers’ lecture in 2031:
Shorty after the end of America’s War on Terroirsm, America and its closest alli, Britian, began a great war. We’re still unsure of how it started but we think it had something to do with a show called “Lexxx” and how often the citizens of each of those nations had sex.
Aparently one nation aired the finale of the show before the other, this resulted in a minor “billboard war”. We’re still unusre of waht this term is, but we know it had soemthign to do with the now extinct “world wide porno web”. These insignifigant conflict angered the citizens of those two countries, so much that the the two governments began to “crack” into each other Nuclear Weapon Systems. Again we don’t know who set off the other’s arsonel first but we do know that those two nations cannot support any life but roaches and farscape fans. Amidst all the choas, We the powerful and mighty CANADIANS stepped in an took over control of the planet. That is how we became the ultimate power!
Since this conflict started over who had sex more often, the elders decided to abolish sex, that’s why we’re all clones. (Sorry ouldn’t resist) By abolishing sex, they also elimanated the now unneeeded “wwpw” since it was only used to transfer porno from one computer to another.
Go Canada eh!

*only* being able to detect gas giants is a bit outdated,
i’m a member of a ‘telescope club’ via UofL
When you say size of w359, do you mean mass or length?
If you look at my earleir post, I never said
earth doesn’t affect the sun’s wobble. I just said its weak. If it caused no wobble that would be a violation of N-3rd. Thats taught in like elementry school.As for my much earlier posts about W359 and its possiblities, I was wrong, I was going on outdated info. Thank DT and Elfie for the updates.

I think (wishful thinking) that the SG1 forum may pick up the lost traffic of the Lexx forums when the series ends. Or b5:rangers may revive the b5 forum.quote:

Then, Jeff, was less involved in the third season, when 790 was in love with Kai [that was 3rd, right?] and, truth be told, I’m not remembering what the deal was with 790 in that season.
In 3.01 790 was thrown off the bridge by Prince and destroyed. Kai put him back together, 790 fell in love with the first person he saw, in this case Kai.
From what I’m told Jeff had a fallingout with Paul and Lex, so that’s supposedly why 790 wasn’t in that season much. I never found out what happened between them though.quote:

I’ver heard that the reason that Space (CAN) took a break, which is something that they never do, it that SciFi is contracturally permitted to air certain episodes first.
I’m not worried so much about Canada. I’m worried about Britian. I’m talking Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Boston Tea Party, come on Americans chant with me “U.S.A. U.S.A!!”
On a serious note, When you say scifi did you mean scifi us or uk or just scifi in general? If its scifi networks (international) the brits ‘ll beat us. If it’s SciFi US has first airing privilages, we’ll get it all first. I’m thinking the former, since uk and us audiances really don’t compete with each other. Northern US audiances and Canadians do compete, and they could potentially share videos. [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
I’m hoping we finish first.
U.S.A. U.S.A!!
Ah yes, how could I forget the humor. I don’t know what season you guys over there are up to, but there’s a really funny episode called “Window of Opportunity” (S4) It’s your basic “caught in a time loop” episode, but here we see what O’Niell and Teal’c would do if they would never get in trouble for their actions [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
Expect that to be the first ep review I submit.

Flamegrape has a point, Elfie. Currently we can only detect gas giants no smaller then Saturn. Or 0.8 Jupiter Masses. We detect planet by the gravitational wobble they cause on their respective stars. Earth-like planets cause too little a wobble to be detected from this far away.
It should be noted that Sol is located in the middle of nowhere in the Milky Way. We’re not even in a rural area of the galaxy. We’re in like the Siberia of the Galaxy.

It could be worse, you could live in some fascist regime country where you can’t have tv. Beside America is the most backwards, we have all the new shows we just [i]choose[/i] to space them apart and put them out of order.
While your technically 2 seasons behind USA in SG-1, most of the country is still on s4. As for Lexx, I think you watching s4 right now. Your 3 years behind in Trek. One last season of DS9, I liked the finale a lot!, 3 of Voyager, just stop watching now, its not worth it.I thought Farscape was cancelled down there?

I was checking up on thier site and we take a one week break. Can’t remember when though…its late december/early January though….
Oh good that will only put you 3 weeks ahead of the US. I think the UK should take a break for a month.
BTW Canada may not end before us. At worst they’ll be 3 weeks ahead.
I’ve noticed that too, and must’ve asked myself those same questions a dozen times. At first I thought it was just the porgression in special fx technologies. In teh movies 790 is very distorted. His face looked like a tv that isn’t gettign good reception. This improved in s2 but the colors still varied a little by episode. When we saw him in s3 things seems [i]somewhat[/i] constant. s4 has had better and more realissic coloring. Even though it seems like it changes by ep.
So to answer your question, I have no clue.
Finally, from your clones in scifi post, Dagger from SeaQuest was a good clone too. Even though all the other “daggers” were evil.

In B5 not all memebers of the same species got along with each other. I doubt that humans will ever be as nice to each other as they are in Trek. We have too many different cultures for that.

While we’re on the legalities topic, for the SG1 ep reviews can I temporarily put up the episode blurbs found on stargate-sg1.com or do I have to modify them first. I’m thinking that the former ir plagerism and therfore illegal. If I can’t its no big deal. I can write up my own little descriptions; whilst in the process of writing longer, fuller ones.
