![]() Stargate: Continuum $14.98 STARGATE: ARK OF TRUTH more or less wrapped up the Ori portion of SG-1 and STARGATE: CONTINUUM does pretty much the same thing with the Gou'ald arc. I think this is appropriate, given that the Gou'ald started off the movie that anticipated the series. There aren't a lot of Gou'ald left at this point, only Ba'al. But at least they go out with a bang, with an innovative, fun, interesting story. The first two post-SG-1 movies have not been masterpieces, but they have both been very good. This is no mean feat. If you contrast it with the various BABYLON 5 movies, the SG-1 movies have been far superior. This despite the fact that BABYLON 5 was a far more impressive show. The two SG-1 movies have been so successful that a third is now in the works. Hopefully that movie will have more involvement with my favorite member of the SG-1 team, Claudia Black. I'm not quite certain where her pregnancy fell in the filming schedule, whether she had it immediately before filming or if she had it afterwards, but it did mean that she was not fully available. Her diminished role hurt the show some. I always felt that SG-1 improved sharply as soon as she joined the series. She brought both a sexiness and some humor that had been missing before she arrived. Hopefully she will play a much more prominent role in this film. The financial success of these two movies are great news for SF fans everywhere, even if they don't follow SG-1. The DVD industry hasn't quite figured out what to do with direct-to-DVD. There are a lot of niche markets that could support direct-to-DVD films. The success of the SG-1 films might, for instance, mean that long hoped for sequel to SERENITY (though the ongoing success of various cast members -- Nathan Fillion, Summer Glau, Gina Torres, Adam Baldwin, and, most recently as main face of the alien invaders on V. [though she also had a prominent role on SG-1], Morena Baccarin]. ARK OF TRUTH and CONTINUUM have proved -- along with the two BSG releases -- that direct to DVD can make a profit. ![]() Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa autographed Stargate Sg-1 card - Emancipation #5 2001 (with unsigned Amanda Tapping - Captain Carter) $49.00 Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa signed Stargate Sg-1 card - Emancipation #5 2001 (with unsigned Amanda Tapping - Captain Carter) ?*This item comes with a Certificate of Authenticity along with matching tamper-proof holograms from Autograph Warehouse, guaranteeing the authenticity of this hand-signed autograph.

Amanda was in Star Gate SG-1 and Star Gate Atlantis. If you love Sci-fi you will love this movie. It is great. It also has girl eye-candy in it in the form of Adrian Paul. WOW. ![]() Sanctuary $19.98 I first found my way to DCD after listening to This Mortal Coil on 4AD records. Wow! Their first album was so raw and moving. Pure simple magic. I've seen them in concert 7 times now both as DCD and Lisa solo. Unfortunately, her solo career never quite blossomed. So much talent but not enough imagination, she never found her way out of the woods of DCD. Though, after listening to Brendan's solo release, neither did he. One has to wonder where the inspiration really came from for the beauty of DCD? The only thing I can think of is simply pure synergy. May DCD rest in peace. Ok, about this video, It's not very good. Too much talking. Cliche montages. Barely any actual music. Is she trying to be Michael Moore? Is she actually TRYING to capitalize on 9/11? I want my money back. |
