Some SG-1: Continuum spoilers
Am still downloading vids, but for now, here's a spoiler from Gateworld that made me go "bzuh???!"
Michael Shanks reveals Continuum spoiler
Bits what I want to point out and go bzuh over:
Because of his filming commitment to 24, Shanks could not join castmates Richard Dean Anderson, Amanda Tapping, and Ben Browder on their recent Arctic shoot. To explain Daniel's absence, writer/executive producer Brad Wright created a surprise twist for the character.
Dr. Jackson is not in the Arctic because his character has lost a leg, a problem he wrestles with throughout much of the film.
Tired of simply killing the good Dr Jackson, the writers have now decided to maim him instead. Sadly, this too will fail to be permanent, as Continuum is going to end with yet another massive abuse of the reset button (which is filing for damages against Mallozzi and Mullie). I really wish they'd stop doing time travel/alternate reality stories, as it completely negates character evolution. We had one for the season finale, you dolts, so why are you wasting one of the movies on it!!
The sad thing is, I intrigued about what Shanks could do with that storyline, how the whole thing might affect Daniel and his place on the team and his work and all that. It's like one big wallowing h/c fic. But it's difficult to get into such a story and enjoy the actor's foray into dark and bitter (Seriously, Daniel even more bitter? He's going to be spitting acid literally if they're not careful.), when you know it's all going to be reset in the end. Damn them for cowards, again.
A bit of a side note, I'll bet he was bummed about not getting to go to the Arctic. I know I would be. Still, it gave us all those lovely bare chested scenes in 24, so the sacrifice was for the greater good.
