Trivia -
No winner for last week's trivia question. :( The question was: In Stargate SG-1, Richard Dean Anderson played Jack O'Neill to Don S. Davis' George Hammond. But they have an earlier TV connection. The answer is 3 parts: what is the earlier show? What was Richard Dean Anderson's role in it? and What 3 roles ("roles") did Don S. Davis have in it? The correct answer was: The tv show was MacGyver in which Richard Dean Anderson played MacGyver. Don S. Davis had 2 guest spots as a cement truck driver & Wyatt Porter. His primary role, however, was as the stunt double for Dana Eclar who played Pete Thornton.
