apparently caprica was just another word for smallville, who knew?

I love that fandom is already wanking over Smallville's opening credits next year. Wow, is this going to be a looong summer. But the reason for the wank is that apparently it was confirmed that Aaron Ashmore, the guy playing our own resident misogynistic asshole, is a thirteen-episode regular next year? SCORE.

(I. I just. IT'S JIMMY OLSEN, for crying out loud. "Misogynistic" and "Jimmy Olsen" should never, ever be used in the same sentence.)

Okay, y'all. You know how I went, "OMG! Kat from BSG was that Talon waitress and Chloe's roommate!" a while back? Then I realized Dee was one of Dawn's minions in "Spirit."

So then I went to IMDB, and concluded that Vancouver is an even smaller world than I'd realized. In fact, even as mojotastic and I were rejoicing, "OMG! HELO ON SMALLVILLE!" IMDB revealed that this is his second appearance: he guested back in S3. AND HE WAS SHIRTLESS THEN TOO. (I KNOW! He was that guy that Clark's blood resurrected!!)

And so, apparently, has EVERYONE ELSE, EVER. Guested, that is. Okay, not most of the major major players, but really. EVERYONE ELSE ON BSG.

Keep in mind that after a point I got bored, and also was not in the least bit interested in rewatching certain episodes just for finding That One Guy. Like, "Velocity" to find the One Guy who played Dante's mechanic? NO.



+ Tahmoh Penikett, Helo from BSG: will soon be playing Lex's sexy new boytoy-slash-guinea-pig three episodes from now, but also played Vince Davis in "Resurrection." HI, HELO!!



+ Aaron Douglas, Chief from BSG: played Deputy Michael Birtigo from "Obscura."



+ Luciana Carro, Kat from BSG, played Kayrin, Chloe's bitchy roommate from "Thirst," as well as the Talon waitress from "Rush" who told Clark and Chloe that their establishment frowned on the public sex, hee.



+ Nicki Clyne, Callie from BSG, played the Talon waitress from "Nicodemus." SRSLY! SHE AND KAT MAY HAVE WORKED SHIFTS AT THE TALON TOGETHER! And OMG, she looks so TINY and YOUNG!



+ Kandyse McClure, Dee from BSG, played one of Dawn's minions in "Spirit."



+ Robert Wisden, the almost-vice-president who lost out the race to a guy who has sex with thin air on BSG, was GABE. We last saw him in the fricking Underground Railroad. HE MAY STILL BE THERE, FOR ALL WE KNOW.



+ Callum Keith Rennie, Leoben from BSG, played Tyler McKnight from "Fragile." ALL OF THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AND ALL OF THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, OMG. AND HE WAS NOT!HERMIONE'S EVOL GLASS-MANIPULATING DAD!



+ Erica Cerra, Maya from BSG: played Courtney in "Thirst." Second sorority chick from the back, I think. (Bonus: In front is Rachel from Animorphs!)



+ Alisen Down, Jean Barolay in BSG, was Lillian (!) from SV in "Memoria," "Scare," "Lexmas," and "Void."





+ Colin Lawrence plays Hamish 'Skulls' McCall from BSG, and was Agent Stocker from "Gone" and the doctor in "Thirst."



+ Rekha Sharma, Tory from BSG, played Dr. Harden from SV, who was in "Vortex," "Exodus," "Crusade," "Onyx," and "Hidden"?! Hey, continuity, whoa!!



+ Paul Campbell, Billy from BSG, played an FBI agent in "Memoria." ...or, IMDB said he did, but this is a mistake. The FBI didn't factor into "Memoria," so I checked "Forsaken" where they did, but he wasn't credited there either. WOE. I WANTED TO SEE BILLY ON SV!

In the, "I was too lazy to go cap these" category:

Brad Dryborough, Hoshi from BSG, played Dr. Bauer in "Subterranean."

Lorena Gale, the priestess from BSG, played Lex's evol psychiatrist who sold him out to Lionel in "Perry," "Shattered," and "Asylum."

Don Thomas plays Specialist 3rd Class Anthony Figurski from BSG, and was Gabe's friend who helps out Chloe with breaking into Luthorcorp in "Truth" and the other Luthorcorp worker who wasn't Gabe in "Tempest." SHIT. GOOD CONTINUITY MUCH?! WHO KNEW?

And there are more. Lots more. But they were people I haven't gotten to on BSG and hadn't even heard of, or really minor, so I didn't care.

WOW.

I keep meaning to do a 'people and places from SV' on 4400, but I think BSG's even lapped them a few times by now. WOW!

Hee. Vancouver is awesome like that, no? I noticed a bunch of other shows repeating over and over as I looked these up: lots of people on Tru Calling, Andromeda, and The X-Files. And again, this is the, "I'm lazy and only feel like doing important people," version! There are SO MANY.

Hee! This is hilarious. I always knew that there was a lot of crossover between the two, but having pictorial evidence makes it all the better. Callum Keith Rennie especially is one of those actors who is in pretty much everything that films in Vancouver, because he . . . can, I guess. Fun fact! He was supposed to play Krycek on The X-Files but didn't want to be a regular so he recommended Nicholas Lea for the part instead. Yes. /random

[nyonyo.livejournal.com]

!!! No way! I did not know that! And the idea of him as Krycek is just. Just. (I keep asking, would he have had the eyesex with David Duchovny on the same level?! WHO KNOWS.)

Didn't you know that Jimmy Olsen is in fact the reason for all the world's evils? He's right behind Beaver for "Causing all problems ever". *rolls eyes* This is why TWOP cracks my shit up. It's Smallville, not brain surgery. This is the show with a FAKE BABY! Maybe we should be discussing that instead. FAKKKKEEE BABY!

Anyway, onto other important matters. HELLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOO! You mean I get a double dose of Helo shirtless!? I must have been very good! Hee! As I'm sure as one of Lex's experiments boytoys, he will be shirtless.

Wow! I had NO idea that there were so many BSG people on SV. I knew Kat and Dee I remembered from watching that episode a while back. But the rest of them. OMG, hiliarous! Vancouver is a small, small place. This is the best picspam ever.
