The Giant Vagina compells you...
Stargate Wank...

This one is a natural for wank, given that the premise of the show is people travelling through space via a Giant Vagina and it's Big Long Tunnel that leads to paradise. Our Stargate originated with the Save Daniel Jackson people. They bravely spammed a TV network to get back their favourite character, and dammitfuckery they actually won. (nothing against them especially, but we're supposed to be OPPRESSED by the networks! stop winning, you heartless bastards!)


The best individual wank is a conspiracy theory, in the helpfully titles thread Conspiracy Theory 102. The beloved St Daniel is not the centre of every episode, y'see, and thus Something Must Be Happening at High Levels:


Another poster in another thread mentioned that she had heard instances on other shows (I may not have all the details right here, but I think I got the gist) whereby a character has become more popular than they expected and potentially more popular than the lead and certain things had been done to lessen the actors popularity.


And—let’s say the director has, Jack squeeze Daniel’s shoulder, and he leaves it in his director’s cut, but it ends up on the editing room floor anyway. Things can be cut in the editing room moved around and suddenly the entire meaning of a scene can have a completely different slant. Who’s in the editing room along with the editors?

That would be Satan, seeking to destory ALL THAT IS HOLY OMGWTBBQ!


The perfect analogy is made:

Has anyone ever heard of Snapple? I used to love the pink lemonade. I drank it all the time. The world came to an end if my refrigerator was pink lemonade free, and didn't start spinning on its axis again until I got to the store and bought more. (I'm only slightly exagerating here.)

One day, I sat down to enjoy my favorite drink, and instead of a wonderful lemon sweet taste, I tasted syrup and artificial lemon flavoring. I thought maybe it was a bad bottle and maybe I should make sure that the diswasher was cleaning the dishes properly. I tossed that liquid down the drain.

Working on the assumption that that bottle was a fluke, I bought more. It was bad too. I was very confused. I mentioned the problem I was having to a friend. Hadn't I heard? Snapple was bought by a bigger company.


Apparently Michael Shanks (AKA St Daniel) has had HIS ENTRIE CAREER RUINED by THE EVIL MEDIA CONSPIRACY! (And here we thought it was just that he's not that good an actor...)

Well I would suggest you find someone in the entertainement industry to explain this to you as it was just explained to me the other day when I asked if I was overreacting to the Conan skit. Turns out the skit is just minor damage to Michael Shanks already added to the major damage that has been done that could have possible long term effects to his career beyond Stargate SG1.

I wonder how some of these people sleep at night:(


TPTB spit in their own noses! Or something!

Frankly, I'm not looking forward to Atlantis at all, given what they've done to Stargate. From what I understand, Daniel doesn't discover it and won't be in it. They're biting off their noses to spit in their own faces because he would make a great lead, and since he plays well with just about any other actor in a scene, he'd have made the new show gel and the new performers shine by his very presence.



ALL THE OTHER ACTORS ARE IN ON IT! IN ACRONYM FORM!

I am not saying that RDA uses his say in every little thing and from that point of view he might well have 'retired' but NO-ONE ( including RDA) will ever convince me that he couldnt have gone and got changed things to make Michael feel his character was appreciated.

They should have LEFT WITH HIM!

When the execs wanted to get rid of a character in Friends the whole cast threatened to leave . It was all for one, one for all and the character stayed.




Other highlights include a claim that the character was so good Disney stole him and and some random whining about helicopters...
