Where in the World?.... Episode V


Okay kids. You know the drill. The first person to correctly identify where this was taken wins a dreamy picture of Dr Zelenka, featuring creepy eyes-that-follow-you-around-the-room, and a genuine 100% knock-off dollar store Stargate party hat - with adjustable elastic head-band to keep the hat on your head when you are mid-party. Both will be signed by the elusive and mumbly one, as soon as I can find him, and sent to your front door. So be sure to leave an email address, just in case...

Eureka...


My alter-ego, the annoying voice inside my ahead, aka -David Nykl, who claims to be an "expert" on all things Zelenka, disappeared last night into an alternate universe...
.
Coming soon to an iPod, TV, or LCD Monitor near you: David Nykl will be appearing in episode 3 ("Unpredictable") of SciFi's other hit series "Eureka", Season Two, as Dr Stephen Whitticus - a scientist with a secret of Global Warming proprtions.
.
I had a lovely time on set with Colin Ferguson, Erica Cerra, Joe Morton, and Salli Richardson, as well as my lovely Eureka wife: Stephanie Von Pfetten. We finished at about 3:30 in the morning, so I didn't get to take any pictures of the set, I could barely get on my bike for the short trip home: we were filming Eureka about two-hundred feet "across the tracks" from my trailer on the Atlantis set, where I had been just a few hours earlier on Tabula Rasa.
.
A double day in two universes for this Nykl guy, and no wormholes were needed. Just two wheels and some sprockets.
.
I'm not sure when it airs. Does anyone out there watch the show? What's it like?...
.
Oh, and before I forget, next installment of Guess the Location coming very soon...

No, but seriously...

You're all too clever by half, aren't you...
.
I was outed by Lili in Argentina in about, um, 80 seconds after posting. I mean, couldn't you give me at least one "Really?! I can't believe it.." kind of post? - No - you guys knew it was just too outlandish to be true... Sheesh. I mean, I tried to pick something that could happen. It's not like I was going to take over command of Atlantis or something...
.
I didn't even know they had April Fools in Argentina.
.
Well good for you. The real April Fools was the spelling of Joe's name. I was wondering who was going to correct me on that. I just see his name spelled with only one Z. I think you all know what I mean. ;-)
.
I did some publicity yesterday for the MGM website - a short interview in front of the gate. It was a very pleasant interview, but I felt like a real doofus doing it. It was mostly about the back half of season three, which was shot months ago, and I couldn't remember anything about it... So if you see it and I come across as not knowing what I'm talking about... you're right.
.
I'll leave you with some pictures from a costume fitting from a couple of weeks ago...

OMFG

I just had to post this very quickly, because I still can't quite believe it: I just had a lengthy phone call with Joe Mallozi and he told me that they've been discussing having Zelenka replace McKay as Chief Science Officer of Atlantis! Can you believe it! How awesome is that!
.
Details are not certain yet, but he said they'd like to do it in the mid season two parter after an "incident" befalls Rodney on Sateda. "Can I tell the fans?" I asked. "Go ahead", said Joe.
.
How 'bout that?!!!
