Writing on the page: They did the thing and said some stuff. There was snark. "

Saving Hope
Oct. 8th, 2014 10:04 pmBut, anyway, Saving Hope!
I've seen the first three episodes of this season, and <3 <3
This show has so much heart. And hotness, dear god ep2... why did he have to do that!? *approves*
Nothing wrong with the biceps indeed...
And, I hope this will help someone - you can watch the episodes on the ctv website for one week after they are released. But you have to be in Canada. Or... pretend to be. There's an addon for Google Chrome called Hola, that lets you change the country a website thinks you're from. Just activate it and select the Maple leaf.
It feels very sneaky, but it works like a charm :D
I want to post something about the episodes so far, so hopefully I'll get to write it down. Work has been crazy lately. And when I get home there's just no energy left.
Stargate the mini musical...
Jun. 10th, 2014 09:32 pmThought I'd share this. Maybe someone else will like it as well :)
The original Stargate movie in 7 and a half minutes, with music by Star One.
Star One - The Eye of Ra
Storyteller: Dan Swanö
Daniel Jackson: Damian Wilson
Jack O'Neill: Russell Allen
Sha're: Floor Jansen
LYRICS:
Gateway to the Stars
Storyteller:
Far away in outer space
A traveler from another world left his dying race
He found our planet, full of life
In the body of a little boy he could survive
And Ra will live forever
He gains his powers from afar
And built a gateway to the stars
Daniel Jackson:
I have finally found the key
To chart a course to the other side of the galaxy
I need to find the seventh sign
Carved into the cover stones of an ancient time
And Ra will live forever
He draws his powers from afar
And built a gateway to the stars
The Eye of Ra
Jack O’Neill:
Unaware of our coming fate
We disappear through the ancient gate
We arrive in a desert land
And set up camp on the burning sand
Behold, a thousand slaves
Mining ores in the planet’s caves
They give us shelter from the storm
Then Ra appears in a human form
Sha’re:
Ooh, up there in space
The Eye of Ra is watching over us
Jack:
A tall ship descends from the sky
Lasers flare and many men die
A bloody battle has begun
We must destroy this ‘king of the sun’
Sha’re:
Ooh, up there in space
The Eye of Ra is watching over us
Ooh, an alien race
The Eye of Ra is watching over us
The Seventh Sign
All:
We have found the seventh sign
Down in the catacombs
When the seven points align
They will lead us all back home
Stargate + Arjen Lucassen + Floor and Russell, and Damian Wilson... <3 <3
They played this song live in 2003 with everyone but Swanö who was replaced by Robert Soeterboek. They had a big Stargate prop on stage, and wore metallic space suit inspired stage clothes... and Floor, and her sister Irene who did backup vocals, wore some sort of Goauld inspired outfits... I had no idea about this until recently and I've been a fan of these musicians for years! Just amazing and hilarious... They must be having so much fun doing this project.
Star One is created by Arjen Lucassen (Ayreon), with songs inspired by various sci-fi movies and tv-shows. With him on this project sings some of the finest vocalists of the metal scene Russell Allen (Symphony X), Damian Wilson (Threshold), Floor Jansen (After Forever, ReVamp, Nightwish) and Dan Swanö.
