A reason to watch

I've never watched a full episode of Stargate: Atlantis, but now I may start. Jewel Staite (Kaylee from Firefly) is a new cast member! She'll be playing Dr. Jennifer Keller, a recurring character throughout the fourth season.

For the record, she's the Serenity cast member I have the biggest crush on, with Morena Baccarin (Inara) a very close second. In any case, this is reason enough to get me to watch a couple of episodes. Hell, it worked with Stargate: SG1 when Claudia Black joined the cast (and for very different reasons, Ben Browder).

Aparently it's not her first time on the show. She played a wraith girl in an episode in the second season. This was definitely a different look for her (here's a pic). This season she'll be her regular cute self and should be fun to see her in a different role.

Knowing next to nothing about the show, I can only hope it holds my attention more than SG:SG1 did. If not, it's good to see the some of the cast of Firefly in other series (still think Drive had a shot - stupid Fox Execs)..
