*nods*  She was the one who started showing them around the research
facility, and had the cute scene where she was geek-bonding with Natalie
while Nick and Schanke stood by looking confused.  *g*  Coming from a
family of scientists and engineers has stood Amanda in good stead; she's
always given good geekbabble, and has spent about half her career in lab coats.

I'm assuming the original questioner knows she's now Samantha Carter on
Stargate.

*firmly thwips brain for thinking about how well Nat and Sam might get
along...and how confused Nick and Jack would get in the process...not
that they're not both used to it...*

If this has already been answered, sorry for the duplicate. She played Dr
 Naomi Ross in "Near Death". A great place to find things is www.imdb.com

Y'all
This question comes from a guy in my writing group (who also claims FK ran
for 5 seasons so if you happen to now where the other two are, let me know)
says an actress named Amanda Tapping (or Taping) was in an episode and he
would like to know which episode.
Fangs a bunch!

Subject: Ger & Tracker

I just saw a commercial for the new syndicated "Tracker" series.  While
Adrian Paul is the star, Ger was in the commercial.  It's premiering this
Saturday at 10 PM CT on the UPN station in Chicago (WPWR, ch. 50).  How
much of a role does Ger have in this series?

Ger plays a character named Zin, the leader of the outlaws that AP's
character is tracking down. It's a recurring role. The first episode
aired on Monday night in the Toronto area and Ger was in the last 5
minutes or so.

Hi everyone!

The buzz on the Highlander lists has been that Ger is scheduled as the
recurring baddie for at least 8 episodes.  His character will be the main
evil alien.  Try the Tracker website at  www.trackertv.com   - it gives some
background info and a list of stations and broadcast times.   Hope this helps!

Peace,
Maria

Possibly because Sony/Columbia/Tri-Star may not actually own any rights to
a property other than the distribution rights, and even then, only for a
limited time or in limited media. Have you ever noticed that most actors
have their own production companies, and the films will say,
(large type) Sony Tri-Star
(small type on same title screen) in conjunction with
(large type or custom screen) Black Hat Productions
(small type on next title screen) presents
(larger type on same title) a Jim Parriott film
(large type on new title) Nigel Bennett
(same font as Nigel's on same or new screen) Geraint Wyn Davies
(ditto) Deborah Duchene
(custom typeface, large, on new screen) IMMORTAL TRIO
...

In this example, Black Hat Productions might own some or all of the rights
for when, where, and how the film "Immortal Trio" might be distributed --
placed in showcase theatres, placed in neighborhood theatres, cartoonized,
sold on Pay-Per-View, sold on DVD, etc.

If this is the case, Sony/Tri-Star could easily be limited as to what it
can or cannot do with a specific property....

There's also a Yahoo chat tonight at 8:00 p.m. EST
with Adrian Paul and one of the show's producers. GWD
isn't part of the chat, but I'm sure his character
will come up.

For some reason, my mind seems to be blank on this.

Nick : Please accept my apologies if this signature causes you any trouble...
Tracy - Still insubordinate after all these years.
Schanke - Man, oh, man, would'ja lookit this sig...
Janette - La plupart des signatures sont ainsi banal, ne pensez-vous pas?
  (or Si vous allez ajouter une signature, additionnez au moins un avec un
certain modèle. ) - and if those don't come out right, blame Babelfish.
Vachon - A bike, the open road, and a full moon - now that's unlife!
Screed - (well, could you understand it anyway?)
Lacroix - A signature says as much about the one who reads it as he who
adds it... don't you agree?
Natalie - Of course I have time to add a .sig, my customers aren't going
anywhere.

Hey, I don't know what those long things the cats have are, but
if they're yours, you'd better get them back now.

Hey, thanks for the map of Toronto. Who circled the Raven?

<Beep Beep> Hello, Lucius, you'll never guess where I am --
<laughing> Ok, how long have you had the bug on my car? Uh.Huh.
Sure you can tell where I'm going from the sound of the car.
Yes, I sneaked the muzzle out while they were all playing "how
many people can we get into the kitchen?"

Ideally, they would sell off their "assets", one of them being FK , to
somebody who wants to make a buck off it by a) airing the show again
somewhere sometime and b) making the VHS/DVD available for purchase!

Yes, it stands for the Internet Movie Database, but it contains information
on TV shows, actors, directors, and other industry related topics as well.
