"What happened?" "I drew you together from your fractured realities." "No, I'm talking about the beer I had." "Major Sheppard discovered the truth some time ago." "He did?" "Home for the last 11 months has been a research base in Antarctica. Although I did dream about a bachelor pad like that, but—" "Major Sheppard seemed uniquely capable of manipulating his own fabricated reality." "When I think of the scenarios I could've thought up, I'd kick myself."

Seeing Don S. Davis, Pascale Hutton, and Christopher Heyerdahl in this pilot episode of Psych is just hilarious to me.

Don S. Davis in Twin Peaks (1990) confirms my belief that he just walked around in that uniform for decades.

Ordinary mission... General Hammond's patience is endless!

"General, when we first set foot on M5S-224, before the wormhole shut down, I picked up fluctuations in the energy field. Now, at the time, I just assumed that was an effect of the gate's residual energy signature. But having given it some thought, I realized that can't account for such sizable variances, which leaves only one possible explanation. The gate must have been energized on our arrival, meaning it doesn't just draw power on outgoing wormholes, but on incoming wormholes as well. All we have to do is make a connection. 3.5 microseconds, that's the minimal amount of time it requires to confirm a lock before the gate automatically kicks in, drawing power from the atmosphere to maintain the wormhole."

Second take: Needful Things (dir. Fraser C. Heston, 1993)

A mildly entertaining adaptation of King's second-tier novel stars always-solid Sydow, Harris, and Bedelia, who's effervescent in a role that somehow mirrors Annette O'Toole's phenomenal take on Beverly Marsh in the superior TV version of It. Beverly is among the most important literary characters of my childhood, and so are both actresses. Bedelia's two great roles were in Violets Are Blue... and Speechless, none of which became successful enough to launch her film career; she was probably closest to it after playing a boring role of Bruce Willis's wife in the Die Hard series did. Her role, as well as Plummer's signature coy-turning-slightly-psychotic character, is the highlight of this film. The plot is simple: Sydow, who incarnates the evil typical of King's roles (an energy vampire, just like Colin Robinson!), comes to a town (again, typical of King's plot settings) and turns its inhabitants against each other. But eventually they overcome! The production value could be higher though: particularly the score and the sepia, slo-mo effect in phantasy scenes are tacky. I like the pacing though: the film is long and doesn't hurry.
