Chuck: I'm watching it now and am having a very hard time keeping my attention on it. I tivoed it because it has Adam Baldwin and the plot was something about him protecting a government geek. I think my consumption of Jack/Daniel AUs has raised my expectations.

Okay, I started to ff at 12 minutes. And I think Adam Baldwin will just have to be in something else if I'm going to see him act. In my mind, he's still teamleader on an SGC team, exploring the galaxy.
Chuck = reject!

A SG pay check.

I've always wondered what the actors on SG get paid. UTA is sueing Joe Flanigan:

"The agency claims Flanigan entered into an oral contract with it in 1998, agreeing to pay 10% commissions on projects, including his deal to play Lt. Col. John Sheppard on the Sci Fi Channel series.

Flanigan paid the agency for Seasons 1-3 of the series but has not paid commissions on his $992,250 salary for Season 4, UTA claims.

The agency alleges it also is entitled to commissions for upcoming Seasons 5-6."

So, Flanigan is the lead so his pay is highest. And this is year four. Is that speculation on Season 5-6 just hopeful or do they know something? Hopeful, I'd guess. I bet the SG1 actors were over a million by season ten. Probably. Sure is a lot less than series actor in the US make. I did the math and this is almost $50,000 per episode. Huh.

Tuesday's tv watching

I'm talking in generalities here or at least not revealing any good plot points.

Eureka: Yes the pretty was in it, but not nearly as much as I had thought he'd be. He had what, three short scenes? He was just there for exposition. It was cool that "Makepeace" was there, too. At least they had Michael looking damn hot. Now, this is a two part episode; will MS be in part two?

Boston Legal (which is "90 mins" to our dling friends) : ( Read more... )

Boston Legal is the clear winner tonight. Good acting, interesting twists and it made me laugh out loud a half a dozen times.
