Wow. These are all just so, so gorgeous. I love the painted look a lot of them have. I took 16, 41, 43 and 45, and will definitely credit!

I'm going to need to delete some of my icons to make room for these, but... it's so worth it. Wonderful set!

[hsapiens]

Thank you! That's a real compliment coming from a fellow icon maker. Knowing that you deleted some other icons to make room, well, that's a high honor. I hardly know what to say to that. Except "thank you" again and that I hope they earn their keep. :)

[geonncannon]

Well, with icons like yours taking their place I can hardly call it a sacrifice. ;-D They'll definitely earn their keep... I can see myself getting quite a bit out of the hugging icon by itself, I just know the others will come in handy. *G*

[hsapiens]

Awwww. Thank you. *sigh* You've put the goofiest grin on my face this afternoon. All of those pics from the farewell party get me in the gut. You know those guys were tight and you can feel how sad it is for the party to end.

[geonncannon]

Aw, I'm happy to brighten your day. Like you brightened mine, friending me and all. ;-D *has friended you back* I'm tempted to hide my icon posts from you out of shame ;-D

And yes, they definitely had a great time on that show. Have you heard Amanda's commentary for "Unending"? She doesn't cry, but there are parts where you can tell she's probably right on the verge. *pets her*

[hsapiens]

I was shocked to discover that I hadn't friended you previously. When you commented, I realized that I hadn't seen anything from you recently (I completely stink at those "what's missing from the group?" type of games). I checked my filters to see if maybe I'd failed to place you on my "daily read" filter but then I found I hadn't friended you at all. That was most definitely an oversight on my part. I honestly thought I'd friended you long ago when we talked about Teryl icons. Thank you for friending me back. :)

Don't you dare hide those posts! I love your Sam and Teryl work!

I haven't yet listened to the commentary. It has taken me a long time to even be able to look at these pics. I know that the commentary is going to make me break down and bawl. I've only cracked open the specials on "200." Poor Amanda. :(

[geonncannon]

Well, I've always enjoyed your icon posts, so whenever I see you on stargate_women, I click. With me being on dial-up, that click means a LOT. ;-D

And well... if you insist, I'll leave it all unlocked. I even posted a new Janet icon post this weekend! So good timing on that!

I love the 200 specials! And her commentaries are all great. Very worth a listen. I know it's unlikely, but... boy, if we could have her go back and provide commentary for the first, second and third season episodes... ;-D

[hsapiens]

Awwww... *snuggles* Again with the compliments and the goofy grin. I see from looking at your LJ that some hearty congrats are in order to you for the book -- even if I'm late in giving them. So.... YAY!!!!! *throws confetti*

I do love her commentaries. It's always a treat to get a cast member but Amanda gives these completely down to earth narratives and she never forgets that she's there to tell backstage stories that will amuse and enlighten the fans. I really enjoyed James Tichenor's commentaries, as well, for much the same reason. I wish they'd gotten Teryl to do a couple of them because I'd love to hear her take on, say, Rite of Passage, which has some of my all time favorite Janet scenes.

I would LOVE it if they'd go back and add to the commentaries for the early seasons. Those are still my favorites in terms of story lines and I'd love to have additional discussion of those episodes.

[geonncannon]

Heee, never to late to congratulate! :D Thank you very much. I'm, as you can probably assume, still very excited about the prospect. Now that you're on my flist, you'll get the updates along with everyone else! Hopefully not TOO much longer (and as my icon attests, I love Teryl so much that I cast her as the main character in my first novel :D Short, brunette, elf-like. :D)

The commentaries were always fun. I enjoyed Peter DeLuise and Gary Jones... to a point. You had to be in the right mood to listen to one of those commentaries ;-D But the ones with the cast were always something special, so it would've been nice to have more of those. A Teryl commentary would have made me fall over dead. I was just happy when commentators mentioned her ;-D

The only thing keeping me from REALLY wanting early-season commentaries? I know exactly what they would be... the directors wouldn't remember anything and the actors would all be laughing at how young they looked. *G*

[hsapiens]

So...when it gets made into a movie, are you going to insist that she plays the lead? :) Is it going to be available through Amazon? If so, I'd like to pre-order.

Peter and Gary were hit and miss for me. As long as they were talking about what was happening on the screen, then I found them just fine. Perhaps Peter was a touch crude but that didn't bother me. It's when they seem to have kind of forgotten that the point was to talk about the episode that they annoy me. But, they weren't being paid and we get so many extras I feel rather ungrateful to complain when they aren't all "up to my standards."

I know exactly what they would be... the directors wouldn't remember anything and the actors would all be laughing at how young they looked. *G*

Oh sure, go and ruin a good fantasy with reality. Hmph! ;)

[geonncannon]

If someone comes along and wants to make it into a movie, them asking Teryl to play the lead will be my sole demand. Pay me what you want, but... try to get her. *G* I mean, it's not like I'm asking for Angelina Jolie or Nicole Kidman. Teryl would probably be in the budget! And she would do a phenomenal job. :D

And yeah, the book will be available at Amazon (I'll have a page on Amazon! Eee! :D) but it's not up for preorder yet. Mainly because it would need a freaking release date (sorry, bitterness coming through :D The original contract said it would be released before "July 2007," and... that hasn't happened. The last thing I heard was early to mid-September, but now it's looking like even that won't happen. So... yeah, a bit irritated at the whole delay). I will definitely let you know when it's available to buy! *G*

And I felt the same about Peter and Gary. I could love their commentary, or I could really, really hate it. Like I said, you had to be in the right mood for them or it would grate on you like nobody's business.

[hsapiens]

AND they'd get a hard-working, professional actress who throws herself into a role. It would be win/win.

The original contract said it would be released before "July 2007," and... that hasn't happened.

Bad publisher! No biscuit!

[geonncannon]

AND they'd get a hard-working, professional actress who throws herself into a role. It would be win/win.

Exactly! If there's any doubt about whether she could do the role, I would help erase those doubts. She did an episode of Viper where she went from quiet, mousy assistant, to weepy and panicky hostage, to dead, to evil mastermind. All in forty minutes! Anyone who can do that and make it believable...

And I'm glad your icon isn't a real coin. If it was, I would be saving money, but I would never, ever spend it. ;-D

[hsapiens]

Ms. Teryl has the chops to tackle any project. I don't think anyone who has had the pleasure of getting to know her and her work has any doubt. Okay, okay: except for playing the world's tallest woman. Although, if they hired people no taller than 3.5' to work with her...I bet she'd convince me she's a giantess!

So, the icon definitely reads as a coin? Despite its being square? My perception is colored by my knowing what it's supposed to be. If there WERE Janet Dimes, then you could always have a Teryl in your pocket. ;)

[geonncannon]

Teryl is one of the few actors who never makes me doubt when I hear she's been cast. No matter what it is, I know she'll do a fantastic job. I think it's high time she got a starring role in something.

And it does read as a coin! To be honest, my first thought was "dollar," but then I realized it was more of a coin look. I think it reads very well. :D

[hsapiens]

Ah yes, we buy DVDs just because they have Teryl on them. She's enough to sell me on the project, even if it's some schlocky sci fi with Major Coburn turned into a people-eating alien bug. ;)

But it reads as money. The detail is less crucial for my evil plots. Thank you!
