Nem's wife

For some reason, I was thinking about something that happened at SG-5. Me, Em, Clare, Gill and Colleen were sitting in the Conservatory, eating. To be more exact, Em and Clare were eating chips, Colleen was eating Maltesers, Gill (to the ridicule of all) was eating a steak-and-kidney pie, and I was eating Dairylea cheese and bemoaning the fact you always run out of crackers before you run out of cheese. I was also flicking through the fanzine Kawoosh, and for some reason, was trying to do the quiz. It became a combined effort, as happened to a lot of things at the convention. We are all obsessive fangirlies, but we really sucked at the quiz. And there were so many questions you think you ought to know, but honestly can't remember, like - "Who was Garshaw's host?" and "What was Teal'c's father's name?"
We got those in the end. The thing that stumped everyone was: "Who killed Nem's wife?"
We sat and thought about it for about ten minutes, at the end of which Clare got a wild look in her eyes and said, "I know!"
Everyone looked at her.
"Omarocca!" she said.
Cue collective sigh. No, Clare, darling, Omarocca was Nem's wife...
It occurred to me at that point. I could have stood up in this crowded restuarant-type place, and shouted, "Can I have your attention for just a moment, please! Who killed Nem's wife?"
Someone was bound to know. I only regret I didn't do it.
That might be why I'm thinking about it now.

The answer, incidentally, is Belos. Something we only discovered after looking up the answers in the back of the 'zine...

Hmmm...

I have two tapes to give to snowdrop24 - one with season 6 Stargate episodes on, and the other with random M*A*S*H episodes on.
I'm going to hang on to the Stargate one for a while, as Sky one will probably show all season 6 episodes for me to tape eventually, even the ones I've missed so far.
The M*A*S*H one - well, I tried rewinding it tonight, but I ended up watching it. I was trying to make a list of the episodes that are actually on it, but that proved difficult as the episode names are never actually given. All I know is that the first one on the tape is the one where the army accidentally bomb that village, and there's a lot of talk about soft-ice-cream makers, and the second one is the one where Hawkeye decides to send the camp latrine to North Korea. I do actually know the title of that one, I just don't know it right now. Hmmm.
There are two Stargate eps taped on the other tape (oops! I'll get the others eventually!) and six M*A*S*H eps on the one I was watching tonight. I have no doubt that I'll never manage to rewind the tape - I'll just keep on watching it(!)

Can anyone tell me anything about MST3K? Has it ever been shown in Britain?

Ooh - I thought of it! It's called "Dr Pierce and Mr Hyde" - I think...
I started thinking about episode titles for things earlier for some reason. Even started boring purplerainbow with it. I know every single Stargate episode title, which is simply the result of checking for spoilers in more than fifty pieces of Stargate fanfic, but still - I like episode titles. There's just something about them. My favourite episode titles (not eps, just their titles) are:

• There but for the Grace of God
  
• Prometheus
  
• Redemption
  
• The Fifth Race
  
• Nightwalkers
  

I'm odd. I seem to collect episode titles, even from shows I don't normally watch, like the TNG titles "The City on the Edge of Forever" and "Encounter at Farpoint."
And then there's shows, sitcoms usually, that don't give you their episode titles, like Friends and Will and Grace. Friends has two inspired titles - "The One After the Superbowl" because it was first shown right after the Superbowl in America, and then the sublime "The One with Two Parts, Part One" and "The One with Two Parts, Part Two."
Will and Grace has some good titles - my favourites are "Tea and a Total Lack of Sympathy" and "Oh Dad, Poor Dad, He's Kept Me In The Closet and I'm So Sad" and the sci-fi inspired "There but for the Grace of Grace."
M*A*S*H has some good ones, too. "Bananas, Crackers and Nuts" and "The Ringbanger" - named after a guy who won't stop banging his ring on the table? What?! (Of course, I later discovered the guy is Leslie Nielson, the one from Airplane!)
And of course, there's always the minimalist route, which they seem to have taken with the episode title "Hawkeye."

Ye gods, have just noticed how much utter rubbish I've typed. I should stop. Now.
