Xst - you are perfectly entitled to like LD if you wish. I just personally don't think she can act....and my opinion has nothing to do with her and MS, 'cos I don't really think he can act all that well either. Again, that's just my personal opinion. As actors neither of them push any buttons for me. As people? I don't know them, am never likely to and my life won't any the less precious to me for not knowing them.
Maybe it's because we in the UK had a premier viewing of LD in The New Professionals which was a recent revamp, and continuation of the old UK series The Professionals with Bodie and Doyle which was a very dated but entertaining story of a British Intelligence agency called CI5 responsible for internal security in the UK. The new version had Edward Woodward and another two young men, one English, one American in the Bodie and Doyle roles, but for some reason, the producers of the recent show decided that two guys on their own weren't enough, so they added Miss Doig to the mix and she was as unmemorable in that role as she is in Andromeda.
I wouldn't mind her attending if she was there for any other reason than as you stated.... she is MS' latest squeeze' and is obviously short of a thing or two to occupy her. It is so apparent that this is the ONLY reason she is appearing and not because she genuinely wants to meet Stargate fans and that's what I don't particularly agree with.
I would have had more respect for her decision to accompany him if she had done so just as his 'travelling companion' which is how Wolf described the young lady who came with Alexis Cruz and the very quiet unassuming man who came with the woman who plays Lya at SG3.
I don't and can't just like people because they are in some way connected with Stargate, however spuriously. I wasn't terrifically impressed with the fact that they had Virginia Hey at Gatecon, but at least she has something to recommend her, her acting talent is apparent. Even if it was buried knee deep in those ridiculous hair extensions!
You and I can still have that cup of tea! I will just have another couple or three while Miss Doig manages to hoist her lips onto the stage. Let's hope she has something fascinating to entertain you all with!
