I nominate Joe Flanigan
........but you already knew I would say that, didn't you?? 

***sighs****
I am so hopelessly dependable
But let's look at the facts:
Joe is Irish
He has some action stuff in his background
He did recite on the Pace show his qualification, 1000 hours of SGA
(I forget now why he was quoting how much duty, er, time he had spent on Atlantis)
AND then there are the obvious qualities needed, tall, dark and gorgeous
............oh and
a good actor.
OK enough of the cheap pressuring tactics.
For all the boring facts about the Clooney thing:

Tonight on the news a defense trial lawyer
equated military tribunals/courts martial boards with kangaroo courts.
This is NOT the first time this subject has come up on the news and I am sick
of hearing it.
During my military service, I sat on courts martial boards.
The UCMJ, Uniform Code of Military Justice, specifies crimes which may be tried
and procedure.
It is NOT a kangaroo court.
The board is comprised of 7 members, all officers who hear the cases and are
instructed carefully by the residing judge.
There is a prosecutor and a defense attorney representing the defendant.
The defendant may be represented by a military lawyer or private representation if he/she can
afford it.
There was NOTHING remotely kangaroo about any of it.
If anything I feel someone receives a more honest trial than a jury system, which exists throughout
our nation today, where someone like Simpson can walk away from a horrific murder.
And Simpson is not the only example of the so called jury system.
My sister has been called several times and the last time wound up as the
foreperson. She said it was a nightmare to just keep the members attentive to business once they began to deliberate. They could not recall details of the trial and had not even bothered to take notes.
If we are going to sling mud about trials, then let's sling it where it belongs.

I watched the pilot last night and was immediately struck by how much it resembles a series awhile back.
It featured an older man who owned a shop FULL of items for sale, e.g. old lamps, dishes, jewelry, furniture etc.
.....BUT in the basement were the REAL items that required attention.
He had two young people, Ryan and Nicky who helped him round up the items that needed to be put behind
a locked door.
Does anyone remember that series? I thought it was called Friday The Thirteenth, but may be wrong
Anyway, this new series is a modern version in a warehouse, instead of a store with a basement, but the
rest of it is very much like that old series.
I feel it could be good, or it could grow stale depending on now good the writers are in keeping it alive.
After all, SGA started out good in The Rising and look at the disaster it became later on.
Finally, I am looking forward to JF as a guest.
I am in a drought pattern right now and could use a little hydration.

Given today's observance, I thought it entirely appropriate to post this video which was sent to me by a friend in OZ:

I meant to comment a bit further in my earlier post regarding how Tolkien reaches out to the people of Iran in their desire for F-R-E-E-D-O-M,
namely, it makes me cherish even more how I have been blessed.
