And also, Daniel is exceptionally good with women. And by "exceptionally good," I mean "it's a miracle he managed to get himself married." I'm starting to think that Vala's approach of basically knocking him out and dragging him by the hair is a pretty astute way of getting his attention.
I know, right? He's just not the smooth type, you know?
This is very sad and all, but I'm a little confused about the storytelling purpose of killing off a beloved regular? Is it just to make a point about the brave men and women who give their lives behind the scenes? Because this seems like, pardon the term, overkill for that kind of message.
Well, keep in mind that S7 was the last season. As were S6, S5, and S8. So I think it was supposed to be more of a go-out-with-a-bang thing, where they would kill someone off, thus proving that they were Serious. And so on.

That's hilarious, not the least because I have a very warped perception, coming in when I did, that Stargate will be on when I'm in the nursing home.
The May/June issue of Mother Jones has a cover story by Michael Pollan, all about industrial food production. I'm just prepping it for upload this week. (:
I think I need to read that book. My people were miners, not farmers, but the cultural anthropologist wanna be in me is intrigued by the parallels between these two sections of society and how the world, towns, families, individuals have changed as a result of industrialization. Not to mention that I have a renewed interest in food now that I'm a parent.
If you haven't read it yet, I also recommend Epitaph for a Peach by David Masumoto.
That looks like a really interesting book. I'm adding it to the list too. I hadn't heard of it before, but I'd heard of the peach problem--how need for shelf life for long shipping has destroyed lots of fruit varietals.
It's been a while since I've read it, but I find new insights each time I re-read it. I think you'll really enjoy it.
And I was intrigued enough by your mention (and the reviews on Amazon) that I grabbed the other. Couldn't believe it's number 2 on Amazon right now! I am sure the interview on NPR coupled with that really intriguing review by the Washington Post had a lot to do with it!

And I still owe you an email, but they're moving out dates at work and I want to see where the shrapnel settles before I make any plans at all.
