I am utterly astonished at the amazing talent some people have. This is a dark and moody Atlantis music video that's also the most gripping music video I've seen.

Still on a nostalgia trip! I adored these guys - possibly the only thing on Sesame Street I ever really liked.

I was hopelessly in 'love' with the younger chap in this show - I believe the actor later played Vic Fontaine on DS9. There were so many fantastic sci fi shows in the seventies!

I stopped reading fan fic a few years ago, mostly because the SG1 fan fic was just so good and so well written that I was beginning to blur what was in fan fic and what was in an episode. It happened after I watched Holiday one day. I hadn't seen it for a long time, and was very perplexed to find that a scene I remembered quite clearly wasn't actually in it. Had they cut it out? But why - it was on DVD. They wouldn't cut a scene from an episode on DVD would they? Then I realised that it wasn't in the episode - what I was 'remembering' was a fan fic of the missing scene kind. And it had been so well done, I'd been able to fully visualise it in my head to the point that in my mind, it was now a part of the episode.

But then a friend of mine recommended this short fic . It is a crossover - Eureka and SG1. And I have to warn you that it is a work in progress. Hopefully the author will finish it soon!

This is a cute little clip.

A new book came out this week - Sci Fi Baby Names . I met a couple who had named their little girl Solo, both because they were huge Star Wars fans and because she was going to be their only child. There are plenty of 'normal' names in Sci Fi. At a con, I met a little lad called Jack, named after SG1's Jack. Other names suggested in the book are a bit more unusual. Not sure that it would be a good idea to call your child Kree, even in south east London. I did come across a family here who had twins called Osiris and Isis.

This show is so brilliant that seeing it at a young age left me with a lifelong addiction to Sci Fi. Without this show I may never have watched SG1.

May! My last post was in May! Life has caught up with me. In the intervening months I've started a new treatment for the arthritis, and lost my father-in-law. Baby G is no longer Baby G but Toddler G. He loves numbers and counting, and likes nothing better than digging in the dirt so a possible future as an archeaologist could be on the cards. BBC 3 has been showing Stargate the movie lately, and I discovered the other day that, now I'm a mum, I can't watch the movie anymore. I start, but as soon as the chaps arrive at Jack's house and Sarah tells them he is in their son's bedroom, and the camera starts to pan across Tyler's stuff I have to switch over. Even a fictional character losing a child is too much for me now, sap that I am!
