Hey, that looks pretty dang good. Also has several people in it that I know from other things. I know the main actor was in Smallville a couple times, along with the guy who plays Dr. Hamilton, but I know both of them best from Battlestar Galactica.

Sadly, it doesn’t look like Laura has the biggest part. Ah well. Also sad, I might not ever see this. I don’t have cable/satellite, so… yeah. Maybe I could see it on DVD at some point. I should look up the book it’s based on.

Well, they have Stargate on hulu, which aired on SyFy, so maybe.
