Yay! Grrrl's back! Cookies for everyone!

Yes, the whoopee cushion is rather rude, but we forgive you anyway.

Well, considering the alternative.........consider yourself lucky its the substitue for the real thing.

Eeewwww!!!

*offers cookie as token of peace* Don't worry -- no Cow Chips.

Accepts cookie graciously. Thank you.

Believing in alien spirits does not a cult make!

But it helps.........and why are you jumping on the furniture? My kid gets in big trouble for that.

I saw someone on TV doing it, so thought it must be ok to do.

Strangely enough, that same person beleves in alien spirits.

They've been watching too much season 6 Stargate SG-1?

Define 'too much', please...

*laughs*

Too much is when it interferes with everything else

Franco... you're starting to worry me, too.

I don't think you'll regret getting to know Stargate SG-1. That show was actually my entrée into the wonderful world of RDA admiration. After watching multiple seasons of SG-1, I ordered and bought MacGvyer... and I've never regretted it for a moment!

Along the way, I also found 'Legend' The Adventures of Nicodemus Legend, a regretfully-short-lived TV series that RDA co-produced and starred in, as well as a few movies that range from Odd to Aaamaazing!

We'll always have MacGyver to come back to, when we need some rescuing or to borrow a paperclip to fix the DVD player.

Franco, I know what you mean -- I found Stargate hard to get into at first. (Actually, I found it impossible at first.) It's well worth the effort, though. RDA's character evolves a lot in the course of the first season; I really didn't care for him until the second.

And Legend is a howl -- hard to find (thanks, Lothi!!), and well worth the effort as well!

"The Tiger's could have used your help this year!"

Actually, it's kind of funny that you should mention that... I felt like that when I heard that they were going to make a TV series out of Stargate. I loved the movie, and found the idea distasteful that they were going to make the central character of the story O'Neill instead of Daniel Jackson! *outraged fan face*

But oh, was I in for a delightful surprise! Michaels Shanks takes the role of Daniel Jackson and totally makes it his own! And O'Neill... well, I love Kurt Russel, but I have lost my heart and mind to RDA.

You're going to love it!

Stargate rocks.........and I have recently gotten into Stargate Atlantis. I love the interchange between the characters and use episodes from both shows as studies for how characters talk and interact with one another.

Give both series a try. I think you will enjoy them.

well you be REALLY supprised at how much he isn't MacGyver in SG:1

You completely forget that your watching the same guy who played MacGyver.

It's been said that the true mark of a real actor is that they turn into the character and you forget that your watching the actor.

Some actors are always so-and-so playing a character, but with a really good actor, you forget about other roles they have played, or even who they are, they simply become the character.

RDA did it with MacGyver in the 80's,and now he's done it again in SG:1. In fact if you watch him in Legend, he does it there too.

He did it in that creepy movie where he played a psycho stalker living in the walls of a house we was remodeling. Through the Eyes of a Killer is the title, I think and it was the first or second project he did right after MacGyver. I watched the movie and it was so totally freaky to see 'Macgyver' playing this evil twisted bad guy.

I think RDA had a lot of fun being 'bad' after so many years of being MacGyver!

I like a little 'Dark Side' from RDA occasionally! I think that's why I like the Jack O'Neill character so much. He's a good guy... sometimes he's downright goofy... but he has a darker side and he's haunted.

*Jumps in after a looooong absence*

Hi everyone!

ANYWAY...

It was REALLY creepy to watch him as the stalker in the movie with Susan Dey. Beyond Betrayal?

I know he likes to play on his goofy side, but he really grabs my attention with the dramatic, angsty roles.

Oh, I know...he is SO good in those roles!

I haven't managed to see "Beyond Betrayal", yet, but I loved "Through the Eyes of a Killer" -- even though it's exactly the kind of movie I would never ordinarily watch. Suspense films don't usually appeal to me. But suspense films don't usually have RDA in them, stealing the show. Talk about blatant larceny . . .

I thought it was a terrific film, but I don't think it would have been particularly good if RDA hadn't made his role so much more than it was.

Strawberries...

Look at me! I just reached 4000 posts!

I have entirely too much free time! LOL!

Your avatar is mezmerizing, Loth. I keep staring at it, waiting for his hair to lay down flat...

Therein lies the difference between the actor and the character. Trust me, that is not MacGyver in the movie. RDA deliberately did the role as a mold-breaking move, after the series had ended.

I recommend whacking yourself over the head with a trout until you feel better. Or lose consciousness.

And it didn't work, either. Invariably it comes back to RDA being categorized as "best known as MacGyver", even though the SG-1 role lasted longer, and received more accolades for his work.

I think I've seen RDA in every role he's played, starting with General Hospital. He's a terrific actor, and believable in each and every role he's played.

My favorite non-MacGyver (and SG-1) role was Pandora's Clock. I wish he had done a few more of those kind of roles. But the Movie of the Week era is long gone.

I only saw about 10 minutes of Pandora's Clock. I'm going to have to get the DVD if I want to see the movie. I was working shifts at the time and not able to see it. It was a two part feature if I remember correctly.

Well, Amazon.com had it for a pre-order, but yanked the offer away. I had asked (Amazon) if they were going to offer it again, and it was suggested that I write to the network... Yeah, good luck with that.

I'm still stuck with my VCR copy-to-disc. It's not too bad of a copy, and it's watchable. It's just not the quality of a newly-minted DVD. *sigh*

Me, too! I was so punked when they did that! Canceled my preorder on S2 of Dexter, too, the dirty rats!

*fumes mightily*

Well thanks guys for saving me from a fruitless frustrating search. Don't think I want to spend my time hunting around for something that doesn't exist.
