Dunno. Have you tried sending them an e-mail or CV?
Not as such, not. I'm tempted to send them a critique of Red Sky. Normally Stargate is pretty good about not having too much in the way of brain-hurty quasi-science, but that episode was an exception.

Of course, with the writer's strike on, there's not a lot happening. Hey, maybe their regular guy will have left by the time the strike's over.

I'd say go ahead. It certainly can't hurt to have your name in front of them, and it wouldn't be the first time an insightful critique, volunteered, led eventually to something a bit more... profitable.

I'm not sure I know them any better than Sa'ar. The chances of me convincing them is, I fear, fairly slim.

(Sorry, but you did walk into that one. An indefinite article would have saved you. )

Interesting tidbit on the Quark front - according to a Shimmerman interview on the s6 DVDs, Quark is only running side activities into season 2. After that he plays it straight, apparently. For the most part, anyhow.

On Atlantis:...Because all advanced races have monumentally stupid lacks of imagination? Why do the Time Lords send their least reliable member to erase their mortal enemies from history?

As for getting the science consultant job - get two more degrees, and be well-known in TV circles?

After the last time, I think the question is if I'll survive making a joke like that in your presence again.

Right!

Er... which one was the last time, anyway?
