Oh good spirits. Well, I knew I wasn't the only one who'd thought of this.

From an interview with Kevin Sorbo about Andromeda.

Q: Do you guys do a lot of practical jokes on the set?

Sorbo: Let's cut to the chase. The force lance looks like a vibrator, OK? I mean, it looks like a penis. It does. The first season, they actually were, like, flesh-colored. It was ridiculous, and you couldn't help it. The minute anybody sees them or looks at them or holds on to them, you can't help but think of it. So I constantly do things, the pig that I am, [to] every female co-star we have on the show. I basically pull it out at the end of every take, and I ask them, "Have you seen my force lance?" And it's become an ongoing joke. I actually put it on the first year's crew gift. I gave boxer shorts out. On the back it said, "Have you seen my force lance?" with the Andromeda logo on the front. It's become a standard-issue joke.

Most of this is unvarnished truth. Some of it is scant praise, but hey, I don't know everyone in person.

( Oh, frell. He's gone and done another damned meme. )

By the way... Buffy last night ...

Hmm. Something I'd forgotten about LoTR that isn't covered by the FoTR movie. Between Bilbo's party the night he leaves Bag End to the night Gandalf returns to send Frodo on his journey is a gap of 17 years -- 3001-3018 of the Third Age.

From a Purist standpoint... shame on them! However, I can imagine why they didn't say that in the movie. How many of those who aren't huge fans would get that it's still important nearly 20 years later?
