Sci-fi & More TV Musings

Watching Continuum a second time the other day made me like it even more. It was fun seeing Jack  again. Baal’s execution(technically “extraction”) was where all the trouble began, Baal mentioned that the other Baals have set into motion a plan that screws the timeline so that the U.S. never gets its hands on the Stargate, from the execution site SG-1 starts to vanish because the timeline is fugged, meanwhile Jack stabs Baal and he dies leaving the viewer curious, but since we know it’s a timeline story, one can guess that he’ll be back. We go to 1929 aboard a ship captained by someone that looks like an older version of Mitchell, which we later learn is his grandfather. The Stargate is kept in a huge box like thing. Baal and the Jaffa come through and take over the ship….. SG-1(w/o Jack/Teal’c/Vala)  ends up on that ship, and they’re struggling to get out and they’re confronted with miles of ice in the frozen artic, where Daniel was left behind because it was learned that he broke his leg…. Cam  &  Sam came across Jack, but he didn’t know who they were because of the fugged timeline…. They were brought in & Jack became testy because he didn’t know what was going on, I won’t say much else about the plot……

I liked seeing how  Daniel, Sam, & Cam adjusted to new lives and other restrictions placed on them… the Director, whom I believe is Martin Wood made good usage of multiple fade in/fade out screens to show the characters’ adjustments and their individual debriefings…..

It was an enjoyable classic SG-1 story…. Something that would help all the movies is longer length.

The upcoming movie “Swing Vote” is about a presidential election where one blue collar  man’s vote will make the difference. He will be swayed in one direction and one direction only. The movie is comprised of a great cast, some the cast are:

• Kevin Costner as Bud Johnson^[1]
• Dennis Hopper as Donald Greenleaf, the Democratic candidate^[1]
• Kelsey Grammer as President Andrew Boone, the Republican incumbent^[1]
• Stanley Tucci as Martin Fox, Boone’s campaign manager^[1]
• George Lopez as John Sweeney, the local TV station manager^[1]
• Nathan Lane as Art Crumb, Greenleaf’s campaign manager

(FROM IMDB/WIKIPEDIA)
This cast gives way to potentially a great comedy.

I look forward to seeing Kelsey Grammer in a movie! (Frasier, Cheers, etc.)
