Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Last year, Stargate producer Joseph Mallozzi posted a teaser poem for the New Year to, well, torment those of us in the US having to wait an inordinate time for new episodes.
After much hassle from the fans, he’s done it again. Let the speculation begin!
Now this is fun. Edit your own greetings into a video clip from Stargate Atlantis.
Other sci-fi fandoms should take note!
If you can’t trust Christie’s, than who can you trust?
Apparently a super Trek fan was duped when he bought what he thought was the famous Next Gen poker setup from Christie’s Auction House. When he asked Brent Spiner (Data) to autograph the visor, Brent informed the poor guy that he had told Paramount that he had taken the only one used. But Paramount still sold them. (via)
These are the continuing lawsuits of the starship Enterprise…
Clearly our reporting has suffered in the onslaught of the holiday madness because this is cool!
Robert Pattinson, who played Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter films, has been cast as Edward in the film version of Twilight. (A book series that is the obsession of many of us, right now.)
The author apparently approves, as well.
So I got a little busy to post all the nifty little Stargate gifts we got for Christmas week. (Such a slacker.)
The Official Site added a bunch of content including:
– Mitch Pileggi finally returns to the Pegasus Galaxy after far too long an absence
– The sneak preview for Be All My Sins Remembered
– An interview with Joe Flanigan and David Hewlett about The Wraith.
Over on GateWorld, we find:
– An interview with Jason Momoa (Jason Momoa. Chewbacca. Separated at birth?)
– News of the chance to become part of Stargate Worlds through a new contest
– Details for The Ark of Truth DVD
And finally, a round-up of Christmas greetings from Stargate cast and crew:
– Michael Shanks
– David Hewlett (yes…that’s me he’s mentioning)
– David Nykl
– Producer Joseph Mallozzi
Dang. What am I going to watch over the summer, now?
USA Network has decided not to renew either The 4400 or The Dead Zone. You don’t suppose they’d be willing to do a movie to, oh, wrap up the cliffhangers, do you? ::sigh::
Oddly enough for a show that seems to be universally criticized, Bionic Woman is still alive and kicking. (For now.)
Those awaiting the return of Lost (which is so going to benefit from the lack of new programming) can catch a bit of spoilery video from E!’s Watch with Kristin.
Catching up on life in Gate circles, here are a few tidbits to enjoy:
– Dr. Keller’s romantic life – A video in which Jewel Staite confirms that there’s just a wee bit of stuff going on between Keller and Ronon in the second half of the season. (It’s a hard life to be an actress.)
– Jewel makes another video appearance on SciFi with the release of Part 2 of her fan Q&A. A little stuff for the Firefly fans in there, as well.
– And after being snubbed for the role of Scotty in the upcoming Star Trek film, it appears that Paul McGillion (Dr. Beckett) actually ended up getting a small role. I’m sure it had a lot to do with his skills as an actor, but probably just a wee bit to do with the outrage caused by his snub. Either way, congratulations to Paul! (via)
– An actual quote from Paul regarding Star Trek, as well as the bootleg promotional video from SciFi teasing his return in Season 4.
Rebelscum reports on The People vs. George Lucas ‘the first truly democratic’ fan film. Because the concept wasn’t tired when these folks did it or anything.
After doing more to make people afraid of surgery than any newspaper scandal in Awake, Hayden Christensen‘s new movie Jumper is trying to get even more buzz going with a new trailer.
When the death of Robert Jordan robbed Wheel of Time fans of the conclusion to the saga in the middle of its writing, there was much discussion about how the world could come to know what happened.
Here comes the news that Brandon Sanderson has been selected to complete the saga using the mixture of completed scenes, drafts and recorded notes Jordan left behind.
Full interview with the new keeper of the kingdom can be found on Robert Jordan’s website.
