Smoke and Mirrors (story collection)
Smoke and Mirrors: Short Fictions and Illusions is a collection of short stories and poems by Neil Gaiman. It was first published in the US in 1998, and in the UK in 1999.
Many of the stories in this book are reprints from other sources, such as magazines, anthologies, and collections (including ten stories and poems from Gaiman's earlier small press miscellany Angels and Visitations).
Contents
The included stories and poems are different between some of the editions. The US, UK, and eBook editions have some differences in the stories they contain (see table to right):
Stargate SG-1 (season 6)
Season six of Stargate SG-1, an American-Canadian television series, began airing on June 7, 2002 on Sci Fi. The sixth season concluded after 22 episodes on February 19, 2003 on British Sky One, which overtook the Sci-Fi Channel in mid-season. The series was developed by Brad Wright and Jonathan Glassner. Season six regular cast members include Richard Dean Anderson, Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, Corin Nemec, and Don S. Davis.
Production
"Redemption" features a brand new opening sequence, with various shots of the gate spinning, and Michael Shanks' name being removed to make way for Corin Nemec's in between Christopher Judge and Don S. Davis. The following episode, "Descent", has a different title sequence.
In most of the shots in "Abyss" where Ba'al is talking to O'Neill, Cliff Simon is actually talking to a stand-in for O'Neill and not Richard Dean Anderson due to the limited time Richard Dean Anderson had in which to film the episode. A series of three different sets were used to represent the cells; a horizontal cell, a vertical cell and a pivoting cell for the scenes in which the chamber is seen rotating. A blend of shots filmed in all three sets was used each time O'Neill is retrieved from or returned to his cell.

Smoke & Mirrors
by: Lifehousethere was a time, was a place back when
you and i were living alone together
we held each other in the middle of the night
and swore we'd somehow make it better
we set our sights on the big city lights
no moss on these rolling stones
and here we are with everything we ever wanted
but now we're together alone
gotta break out of this place we're in
runnin' out of time and out of sin
we were living smoke and mirrors anyway
gonna drive all night 'til we disappear
chasing down the miles so far from here
as the smoke and mirrors start to fade away
we're still the same...
i remember thinking we could make it out somehow
if somehow we ever took a chance
we packed up what we had and threw it in the trunk
didn't give our life a second glance
now the days roll hard and the nights move fast
they say be careful what you wish
but having everything means nothing to me now
what we had is everything i miss
gotta break out of this place we're in
runnin' out of time and out of sin
we were living smoke and mirrors anyway
gonna drive all night 'til we disappear
chasing down the miles so far from here
as the smoke and mirrors start to fade away
you know we're still the same... still the same
gonna drive all night 'til we disappear
chasing down the miles so far from here
as the smoke and mirrors start to fade away
and we're all we've got so let's hold on tight
to the dreams that came before the fight
