She did appear at least once on SG-1. Yeah, Ferguson is really funny, especially when he tells her they have a "thing" that she refuses to acknowledge. Obviously she has feelings for him too, but still has some for her husband as well.
-------------- Original message -------------- From: "jmp" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wasnt Richardson doing an occasional role on Stargate as Tealcs wife? Maybe Im off on that; anyway count me in as a Eureka fan. As noted, theres a good amount of fun with this show. And the sci-tech is all over the map. Cool. Worth a tivo season pass so far. Oh, I think the sheriff is so ill-prepared for this woman. later jeff parker -----Original Message----- From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Martin Pratt Sent: Sunday, September 17, 2006 4:18 PM To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [scifinoir2] Re: "Eureka" premieres tonight on Sci Fi One problem.
