That's Nick Mohammed, Nate from Ted Lasso! Before they did this, Greg (the Taskmaster) told him he could stay seated (because he's so short). Nick did so well Greg apologized for doubting him. 😁

Ask five adults how high they can jump, you'll probably get an odd look from them.

Put five adult comedians on Taskmaster and they'll spontaneously do this.

(also I think Sophie was unfairly hampered by being in a dress. Do over!!)

You put Gina Gershon in anything and all of a sudden it's an erotic thriller.

I'd like to visit the Moon on a rocketship high in the air. Yes, I'd like to visit the Moon, but I don't think I'd like to live there.

Though I'd like to look down on the Earth from above, I would miss all the places and people I love. So although I might like it for one afternoon, I don't want to live on the Moon.

If you could, would you go to the moon?

There's a lot of Taskmaster in Game Changer, but this moment was the Taskmasteriest it's been in a while.

I recently saw some clips from WeCrashed where she has a really deep voice, and that plus this is Doing Things to me that I'm not mad about.

Erasing Nick Mohammed's reflection from water because he's dressed as Dracula is one of my favorite recurring bits the show has ever done.

I just wanted Sam Carter to fuck Janet Fraiser. How that led to meeting Tony Amendola at an LA theater, I'll never understand.

You're ready to hear something hateful or ignorant after "I don't get why the collar has to be a transgender flag..." but instead you get the best story ever about a cat who was once banned from a town who likes pink toys.

Some more Amanda Tapping reaction gifs for people! I don't know how Tumblr filters these things for other people to find... is it keywords? Do I have to use words like worry, concern, discomfort, awkwardness, or something like that in the tags or is it enough they're in the post?

I guess we'll see!

It's an amazing feeling to create characters that people love... like LEGITIMATELY love. I once had a very dear friend threaten me with physical violence if I killed off a certain character. She was joking. I'm pretty sure she was joking. But that character IS still alive, so... 😁

So many amazing things have happened in my life because I wrote stories. I saw Liz Vassey from across a room and she smiled and waved me over. Counselor Troi from TNG knows my name. The same official Stargate accounts that mark Amanda Tapping's birthday also posts about mine. All because of some stories!

you know what i'm gonna get sappy for a second bear with me

there are a lot of posts and memes for writers about how hard writing is and how annoying it can be and how dispiriting it can feel when we don't make progress the way we'd like to. and those are true, and relatable, and funny! i've been there!

but maybe it doesn't get said enough in the other direction, so I'm gonna say it: I love writing. i love the process of putting phrases together and testing them for cadence and flow; i love knowing that there is a word for exactly the thing I want to convey, even if I just can't think of it right now, and going onto a thesaurus and being like there she is, that's the one!

but more than anything, I love the ritual of constantly asking myself "okay, and then what happens?" and feeling the same sense of delighted surprise every single time when somehow, a part of me I wasn't consciously aware of knows the answer. that experience, where my brain provides me solutions I didn't know it was working on, feels like a miracle every time. and getting into a productivity groove where I keep knowing the answers is one of the best feelings on the planet.

and sure, sometimes I don't know the answer, and it's hard and unsatisfying and see above about how easy it is to joke about how writing's the pits, but... that just makes it even more special when I'm firing on all cylinders, you know?

anyway, yeah. w r i t i n g.

I don't know, I just liked this unintentional mirroring.

Another relic from the olden days when Stargate SG-1 was airing live, that the youths may not know about. When Conan O'Brien had his original show, he had a segment called Pierre Bernard's Recliner of Rage, where a very soft-spoken man ranted about nerdy stuff. One time he did an entire bit about Daniel Jackson leaving SG-1. At the end of the bit, Conan said, "I think there are maybe six people out there who know exactly what you're talking about." One of those six people actually worked for the show, or was somehow connected to it, and they got in touch with Conan. They loved the bit, and invited Pierre to come out and film a cameo. He's the technician (Sergeant O'Brien) at the end of Zero Hour, and they did a follow-up bit following him when he went to Vancouver to film it.
