    Very friendly, actually.

    From what I know, during the premier they get off to Atlantis, and then goof up and get themselves stuck there - it's mostly autonomous from the original show. I do recommend you hunt down the Stargate Atlantis Lowdown on bittorrent or something (it aired last week) that should bring you up to speed on what's happening with the main Stargate storyline and universe. They're spending their time in another galaxy, no Gua'uld, new bad guys, new stuff going down. Should be fun :)

    One of the things the writers mention is that for it to work as simultaneous shows, the one thing they _don't_ want to be doing often is invite the crew from show B to save the guys on show A. Regardless which show is A and which is B.

    Avoiding the flash...Check out this related article at Sci Fi Wire: Atlantis Forges Own Identity and another at the Florida Sun-Sentinel: Stargate SG-1 spinoff tinkers with the tale of the lost continent in a planet far, far away.

    This doesn't look very promising, imho.

  3. FLASH! Firefox + FlashBlock prevent Slashdotting by cuzality · · Score: 5, Informative


    Check out FlashBlock, an extension for Firefox which "[a]dds an XBL binding to Shockwave Flash object tags that replaces them with a button you must click in order to play the animation. Quite nice for restoring sanity to your browsing session."

    Indeed.

    I don't really know why this is considered funny. Well, the McGyver reference is almost certainly what did it, but if you watched Sci-Fi, you'd realize not only was it not cancelled as the new season started last Friday, but also 'McGyver' is back as a Brigadier General.

    So... seriously was the whole ignorance thing supposed to be funny, or was it just the belief that Richard Dean Anderson actually is McGyver (who I'd like to mention was extremely anti-gun, unlike Jack.)
