    Joe Flanigan is my favorite actor because i think he does a really good job on Stargate Atlantis and i can image him being the new leader of Atlantis but colonel carter i think well do a great job.And Joe i think is the best actor in the Scifi business so he is the best and every friday me and my friends get together and watch it every friday on scifi.
