Stargate Stuff

For a franchise that’s on summer hiatus, there’s still a lot of activity out there.

GateWorld spoke with Robert Cooper about the end of Stargate SG1. Find out all sorts of interesting tidbits about how things might have ended and what’s coming our way in the straight-to-DVD movies.

Cute pictures from their sister franchise, Stargate Atlantis, straight from the recent set tour. (David Hewlett’s jacket. Love it? Or hate it?)

And SyFy Portal surfs the YouTube so you don’t have to. (Oh. And the article starts with some show called Jericho.)

Those of you who, like me, are a bit geeky about Eureka (which starts up again the week after next) will enjoy the TV Squad story about the set. Apparently the quirkiness goes down to the detail level for this production.

You can see the full interview panel for the show here and here.

Stargate Roundup: Wraiths and babies and effects…oh my!

SciFi hosted a media tour on various Vancouver area show sets this week. The stories are now starting to flow:

– No Stargate movies until 2008. Are all those nifty effects causing it?
– The Wraith are bringing sexy back.
– The SG1 finale gets it some Nielson love
– And Sam has her hands full, as does Rachel Luttrell. But the women are going to get some good stuff in Season 4!

As always, mild spoilerage for upcoming events. Tread at your own risk.

Y halo thar, evil ex-bf

Almost everything I know about Doctor Who I learned from five episodes and a kind of casual fandom osmosis,* but this funny Who macro story, based on an episode I don’t think has aired in the U.S. yet and probably not safe for work unless you work in a slash factory, is still kinda hilarious. Maybe it’s the whole Tony Blair thing.

*Also the reason I can fool Quizilla into thinking me a master of Tolkien.

Stargate SG1: A Tribute and An Interview

Some interesting stuff out there after SG1’s bow.

GateWorld has put together a lovely tribute to the show that is a combination fan tribute and cast/crew tribute. Full of lovely pictures that haven’t been seen other places, it’s well worth making your way through all the pages.

GateWorld also posted an interview with Michael Shanks (Daniel Jackson) that not only talks about the next stage of SG1, but includes what they were thinking when they acted out “that scene.”

Goodbye, SG1, and Thanks for the Replicators

Tonight is the series finale of Stargate SG1. And while we might be comforted by the fact that we know two more movies are coming out, it’s still a bit nostalgic. (Plus, the finale has gotten rave reviews from those in Canada who have already seen it.)

If you have a spare $200 lying around, GateWorld somehow got the extra 1,000 copies of a memory book made for the SG1 cast and crew. You can get it, along with a cast member’s autograph, for $200. Of particular cuteness is the article describing the pack of cast and crew dogs who have the run of the studios. (I wish I hadn’t spent so much money at CIV.)

There are also a few tribute articles to be found:
Why Stargate SG-1 was out of this world
New York Daily News
Poignant End to a Cable Record-Breaker
One last trip through the star portal
Times not on the side of SG1
Don’t cry, sci-fi greeks. Stargate SG1 had a good run

The Gate Closes. The Gate Opens

GateWorld has posted an interview with Stargate producers Joe Mallozzi and Paul Mullie. In it they discuss the ending of Stargate SG1 (this Friday) and Season 4 of Stargate Atlantis.

Of course, considering that they talk about the plot lines of both finales, you might be less aggravated if you wait until after you’ve seen them to read this article. (The sacrifices I make for this blog….)

Baby, It’s Cold Outside

Exploding coffee. Interesting nighttime trips to the out-house. No. It’s not a sci-fi convention.

It’s just a few of the adventures Ben Browder got to experience while shooting in the Arctic Circle for the upcoming Stargate SG-1 movie “Continuum.”

Geeky Do-Good Thing of the Week

Michael Shanks, who is just wrapping up a 10-year stint playing Daniel Jackson on Stargate SG-1, is holding his third annual auction to raise money for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada.

In addition to the truly bizarre things (like the costume he wore for a college production of “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown”), you can also find SG-1 scripts and nifty signed things from all the Vancouver-area sci-fi productions.
