This Week’s Gate Goodness

I’m back! Catching up on all the TV news after a sad, migraine-induced delay. Let us see what we missed in the world of Stargate.

GateWorld reveals the pretty that is the Stargate SG-1: The Complete Series box set. (Y’know, the one with those extras that those of us who collected through the years can’t get without buying this box set? The one we are so not bitter about?)
– Stargate Atlantis producer Joe Mallozzi continues to post pictures and teasers about upcoming storylines on his blog. You’re missing out if you’re not reading!
David Hewlett talks Season 4 with TV Zone (as teased by GateWorld and SyFyPortal).
TV Zone also has an interview with SG1 director Martin Wood on the joys of filming in the Artic.
– Back to David Hewlett and his teasing, he posted a “dramatic” reading (supposedly the first of a series) of a favorite line from Season 4.

Stargate news from DragonCon probably won’t be posted until next week, unless I manage to find Dunc and blog on her laptop.

More Gatey Goodness!

Joe Mallozzi continues to share the love with the Stargate fans by posting pictures from filming of the latest Stargate Atlantis episode in production. And there are shots of a certain guest star rehearsing who will look just a wee bit familiar to SG1 fans. (Yeah, baybee!) And another guest star who has been requested by many of the SGA fans. (Another “yeah, baybee” from me!)

Needless to say, since this is filming for Season 4, this means that you could be a wee bit spoiled for Season 4. So don’t get whiny about it!

In semi-related news, SciFi posts a short interview with SG1 actorMichael Shanks in which he describes what is sure to be the “riveting” storyline for his upcoming SciFi Saturday movie MegaSnake.

Gee. You think this movie will have snakes in it?

SciFi Fall Lineup Announced

Time to program those TiVo’s. SciFi has put their fall line-up out for the world to see.

Stargate Atlantis will be premiering on September 28th in the Friday, 10pm timeslot. Per GateWorld, they’re actually planning to (shocker) run the season all the way through. (Dare to dream that there won’t be a six-month, ratings-plummeting break between halves!)

Battlestar Galactica geeks can take some solace that although Razor won’t premiere until November 24th, “mini-sodes” will be airing during Flash Gordon. (Hey. They have to try and salvage that show somehow!)

More Trek Talk

So Paramount continues to try to reignite the enthusiasm of the Trek faithful (and hopefully some of the not-so-faithful) with the Official Star Trek Convention in Las Vegas, this past weekend.

StarTrek.com has posted blogs from Thursday and Friday, so far. And while it seems that all the special guests proclaim their excitement about the new movie, the biggest buzz was generated by a piece of paper: notably, the next teaser poster.

Still, doubt remains that JJ Abrams can overcome the odd number curse and get things going again for Trek. We’ll see!
