Bringing Nathan Back

I just was thinking about how to bring Nathan back… besides the obvious just dropping out of time. That’s assuming that Ed Quinn would want to come back.

He could have a good twin – him being the evil version. Or maybe he is the good twin. That would be interesting.

There is the whole time thing. He could drop out of time or come forward from the past. But that would create the whole time conundrum – the grandfather paradox, etc. – like when Henry brought Kim back.

What about the whole alternate dimension thing. An alternate Nathan. That could be fun. But since Nathan already has a beard – how would we know if he’s evil. Maybe if he were clean shaven. And of course it brings up the possibility of all sortsa fun.

Those are just my thoughts for the future. 🙂

Nathan Stark is Dead

“And now for the answer to the only question you probably care about right now—Is Stark Really Dead?—the answer is YES.”

For now.”

From http://revealthescience.blogspot.com/2008/08/goodbye-nathan.html

This is from Eric (Wallace`s?) blog. So Nathan Stark is dead. Hmmm. I agree with the various boards … Nathan went out with class, dignity, and style. Ed Quinn, Colin Ferguson, and Neil Greyson did a great job. And we (my Beloved & founder of kalarhythms.com) were totally shocked that Nathan got “dead.” But this is SciFi and how many times has a dead person reappeared? Carson Beckett just popped into my mind (I was watching an old episode of Atlantis). So how dead is dead? Yeah, we know it was the actor’s choice to leave … and good luck to him in his future endeavors … but they left his “death” so open. It was a cool effect … floating off into time. Eric (the writer) ended his blog with “for now” and Stark ended with “See you around, “Jack.” Or something close. Open ended. Lotsa folks are looking at Michael Shanks as Dr. Daniel Jackson. Is it the same reason … Michael (sounds like I’m on 1st name basis with him don’t it) left because he wanted his character to grow and Showtime wanted the character to stay the same (if my fuzzy memory serves me right). Once SciFi took over the show, Michael came back and the character grew. Did Ed leave for similar reasons?

I’m not sure how I feel about Stark’s untimely demise. I will miss the character – he was delightfully snarky. I will miss the actor – he was delightfully handsome. And I’ll admit I was one of the ladies looking for more 1/2 naked Stark. But I’m still not sure how I feel about him leaving.

I would love for Allison & Jack to get together. That wouldn’t have happened if Allison had married Nathan. But I’m sure the Allison/Jack relationship is not going to happen now. Allison will be to heart broken. I’m sure their friendship will grow and strengthen. My guess is at least thru the end of the season there will be no Jack/Allison romance. Hopefully – in my opinion anyway. I’m also sure the the sexual tension will still be there in full force.

On an aside, I liked Callie Currie. She and Jack were cute together. Also, while I’m off on a tangent, here’s a thought – Beverly Barlowe is now gone, GD needs a psychiarist, Dr. Abbey Carter fits the bill. That would add a whole fun dynamic. Just my thoughts.

I was also getting a little tired of the whole Stark/Carter sniping at one another. It just seemed over done to me. Yeah, Stark was marrying Allison, but at the end of season 2 they had actually been able to work together without sniping at each other. Granted the whole marriage thing did change it … and they were trying to save Allison & Kevin, but… The sniping was still starting to get on my nerves. Carter & Stark (Stark could have been gracious about winninng the heart of the fair damsel) worked well together. Carter came up with the ideas and Stark “made it so.” Whaddya gonna do?

I would have liked to see Nathan stay. I would have liked to see him & Carter come to a detante and be able to work together. I would like to see Allison & Carter get together. Except that would’t have happened if Stark was staying. I like the Zane/Jo relztionship. But then again Jo & Taggart were cute too.

Speaking of… Bring back Taggart!!! I love Matt Frewer and the Taggart character is wonderfully quirky. There’s got to be a need for a vet! Sister Lexi brought “Grandma” with her.

Many shows have survived the loss of a major character. Let’s hope Eureka does too.

Ba’al – Stargate’s Resident Bad Guy

“Baal – as in bocce?” Ok. I think Ba’al is sexy. He’s evil. But delightfully evil.  So once you get past the whole evil bit – he’s sexy. In my opinion, it’s the confidence that just oozes from him that makes him so sexy.

Cliff Simon, who plays Ba’al, does so with great ability. He makes him delightfully evil. He makes the character very believable.

Shark Week

Mythbusters Shark week special is pretty good. It’s about the only thing I watch during Shark week. I would probably get in the water with the sharks. Especially if I had chain mail on.

Good Eats

Do you want to know more about the whys of cooking?  Good Eats.  I’m watching American Slicer.  It’s a show about knives.  Everything you need to know about knives.  How they are made, cutting boards, how to choose a cutting board, how to choose a knive, why should spent 100 dollars for a knive, how to use the knife and more.  Did Alton Brown cook?  I don’t know, we’re only at the 1st commerical break.  But then again isn’t slicing, chopping or paring part of cooking?  Hmmmmm.  Let’s watch.  This is one of my favorite cooking shows, it’s about the cooking, it’s fun, and it’s educational.
