Star Trek in my Stargate

So I'm currently watching an episode of Stargate SG-1, the one where the SGC finds out that the Russians have a Stargate. I'm not too far in to the episode, and to be honest, I haven't been paying very much attention to it.
But the point of this isn't actually about the Stargate episode.
It's about how I'm watching it and I see an actress that looks familiar, but I just can't place. So I head off to IMDB and find out that it's Deanna Troi from Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Part of me doesn't like it.
Not just with her, but when you see actors playing different characters than the ones that made them famous or that they're well known for (or that YOU first knew them for).
It's silly, I know, but it makes it so much harder to see them as someone else.

Richard Dean Anderson, for example. While he plays Jack O'Neill in Stargate, people a generation or two older than me probably know him as MacGyver and might've had trouble adjusting to him in a science-fiction role.

Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm going crazy (which is quite likely at this point, I've been up since 4am and it's just about 10pm).

And I think I'll leave with that little rant for tonight.

Next time?
Red Dwarf!

Welcome! (And Sherlock)

Hello and welcome to Nerd Alert! The blog that will have to do with all things that I love to nerd out about. Could be anything from comics and books to video games or television shows and movies. I will warn that my rants posts may contain spoilers. So...

Readers beware. 

I suppose there isn't much else to say about it, is there? 

Let's get started then. 

 I have just finished the second season of BBC's Sherlock.

Oh. My. God. To everything about that episode.

As crazy as his voice makes me, Moriarty is a FANTASTIC villain (not sure why I don't like his voice, something about it just rubs me the wrong way). I loved him sitting there on the throne wearing the crown jewels. Very, very amusing. I really, really did almost buy the 'him being an actor' thing. As unlikely as it was, I still thought it possible because Moffat can be a bastard (I'm a big Doctor Who fan). Though I honestly wasn't expecting things to end for him the way they did. 

Which is why I'm sure he's still kinda find some way to mess with Sherlock in the next series. Do some weird ghosty shit (not really, but still). 

What has been driving me absolutely mental, though, is how on earth did Sherlock do that!? 

He jumped from a building, in broad daylight, with people watching. Molly must've been in on it.

But how?

Watson's face when he finally gets to see Sherlock again is going to be priceless, I'm sure of it. 

Why must it be so long till the next one!! 

I love the show, but hate that there are only 3 episodes per series... Ah well, what can you do? 

I'd like to apologize for how short and scatterbrained this post it, but forgive me cuz it's my first one.

I will most definitely try and make them a little more organized and longer in the future.

And if there's anything you'd like to recommend and want to see me rant write about, feel free.

Goodnight internet.
