She's just too cool

And finally, lets talk about Stargate: Atlantis, because most of you are, and I've been getting a ton of questions about the thing, so lets just get it out in the open. I know it's finally been revealed that Paul McGillion is leaving the show, and since I'm coming on the show, a lot of you have it in your head that I'm "replacing" him. First of all, our characters are quite different from each other. Second of all, Paul has a penis, so we're quite opposite from each other. Third of all, I'm not a regular cast member and I've only signed on to do a certain number of episodes (not 15-or at least that was news to me when I heard that on the internet!). One thing I should tell you is that Paul and I are very close friends. He lives three blocks away from me (in my mom's building-- how weird and random is that?) and we see each other all the time. I can honestly say he's one of the sweetest and most lovely people to work with (the crew of Atlantis raves about him), and I really just adore him. I can't comment on the why in terms of his character's absense in the next season, but the best thing about sci fi is nothing is forever! It's like soap operas-like, maybe in Serenity 2 Wash will have an evil identical twin! (Yeah, Joss, I know, that idea sucks-and if it doesn't suck and you actually write that one day, I want credit for it) Anyway, I'm really excited about coming on to Atlantis and playing another prodigy-genius mechanic to genius doctor, I am truly moving up in the world! Maybe next time I'll play the president! heh heh. Just please have an open mind, and don't hate me-it's not my fault. I'm just an actor who jumped at the chance to work with a really fun cast in my favorite city (mine) and play a young smarty pants MD with a cool uniform. Can you blame me?

I seriously cannot wait for this - hee!

God she's awesome. :D You can find the full blog entry (including the mention of the not!Flan) here.

Now I need to get ready for work. Eh.
