EVERYONE’S A COMEDIAN:
Amanda is caught in an intimate moment with Asgard guest star Thor on the set of “Nemesis.” The two are rumored to have carried on a torrid love affair throughout the series, culminating in an off-screen butt grab during the filming of “Small Victories” and an on-screen embrace in the series finale, “Unending.”
It started with Richard Dean Anderson and the higher-ups that there be a sense of humour, instead of it just being another heroes in space kind of show. Because we’re earth-bound, human and fallible, having a sense of humour was essential. I think it was luck of the draw that everyone in the cast has a sense of humour … we all have the comedic bent. If you try to hard to be “Here we come to save the dayyyyy,” it gets kind of boring.
