Gate Geek – Well, that was a long trip

So Stargate Atlantis Season 4 wrapped up in the US with The Last Man. So how long a stretch are we expecting before we get new stuff?

According to Alex Levine, it might just be this summer. And according to the promo for the SuperFan contest, it’s July. So yay!

There’s also a great interview with David Hewlett to enjoy. (Thanks to Scary for the tip.)

In the meantime, we have a SG-1 adventure to extend the new Stargate love for at least another week. And, if all goes well with their pilot, we’ll have a new series from Michael Shanks and Christopher Judge which you know will just become an extension of the Stargate family.

Still. That’s a long time to wait….

Gate Geek – Indeed

Well, things are lookin’ mighty interesting going into the season finale for Atlantis.  As usual, there are more tidbits to watch on the sneak preview on the official site.

However, we can live through our inter-season despair, safe in the knowledge that the next season is underway; as evidenced by the traditional cast dinner in which Joe Mallozzi moved too slow in keeping his dessert away from Jason Momoa.  (Would you argue with Jason?)

In SG1 news, they are really flooding the internet with wondrous tidbits to enjoy; including all sorts of new videos and the chance to ask producer Robert Cooper those burning questions you’ve always wanted answered.

Don’t want to send a message there?  They’ve added another cool “messaging” system using Ark of Truth clips.

Gate Geek – The Big Finish

Nope.  I’m not talking about the end of SGA Season 5 (although aren’t you dying to find out how it all comes together?), but Michelle points out that the company Big Finish has moved forward with selling their “talking books” for SG1 and SGA.

There is a clip available on the SG1 page to give you an idea of the production value for these things.  I must say, I’m impressed.  They’re less audio book and more radio production, without the large cast.  (I’d link you to it, but their servers seem a bit overwhelmed, today.)

Gate Geek – The Excitement Builds (Indeed)

So which way do we go this week?  Excitement that Atlantis is rocketing towards the end of what has proven to be a rockin’ season?  Or excitement that SG1 is about to rejoin us with all sorts of movie goodness?

SG1 – Rockin’ the Ark

March 11th will soon be here.  Can you believe it?!  Well, MGM certainly can by releasing another teaser video with some wonderfully breath-taking shots in it.   This one’s going to be of the pretty, folks!

Atlantis – Oh, The Tension!

Okay.  Kindred, Part I.  Although rather rudely spoiled by SciFi in their promo (yes, you kinda figured, but did they really have to do it?), this episode finally started rocketing us towards the resolution of every hanging storyline out there.

Joe Mallozzi took the lead on this one and shared what he was thinking and some deleted/alternate scenes.

If you want the answer to one of the questions posed in Part I, check out this week’s teaser video on the official site.

Gate Geek – Videos and Treks

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.

Gate Geeks – We have DVDs!

Just in time for my birthday, the upcoming SG1 movie The Ark of Truth will be released direct-to-DVD on March 11th.

The week before, the US will finally get its own chance to buy Stargate’s version of The Star Wars Holiday Special when Stargate Infinity: The Legend Begins is released on March 6th. (Although really, it would take a lot to be as bad as The Holiday Special!)

In other Stargate news:
– Joe Mallozzi advises us to spread the wealth in our praises and criticisms of each week’s show. Plus, he announced that he will be breaking down this week’s mid-season finale and fielding questions in his blog.
– The Chucknician himself, Chuck Campbell, talks about the joys of being a day player for Stargate.
– And Stargate’s own Head Fan Pierre Bernard (from Conan O’Brien’s Recliner of Rage bit) throws out a press release for one last push on the People’s Choice Awards voting. (Which still has a few categories open.)

Gate Geek – The Catch-Up Version

What have we missed while my internet access has been down? A few tidbits, here and there:

– All sorts of hardly-spoilery photos from the upcoming SG1 movie The Ark of Truth.
– Info of a definitely-more spoilery nature about this Friday’s mid-season finale of Stargate Atlantis. GateWorld finds more story details. The Official Site puts up new video that gives a bit more away than SciFi’s preview.
– We also have a new interview with Amanda Tapping on the joys of Rodney McKay.
– And there’s still one more day left to support Atlantis in the People’s Choice voting.

Gate Geek – Chuck!

Stargate always seems to have one character who comes out of the background and becomes beloved. (Like the technician who eventually became known as Walter in the SGC.)

Atlantis’ gate technician has joined those ranks by finally getting a name, Chuck, which just so happens to be the actors’ own. He tells GateWorld all about it in this interview preview. Maybe he’ll get a last name in Season 5?

In other news, David Hewlett catches up on his My Favorite Line series in a muffled, post-baby version on YouTube.

Gate Geek – Find the Truth

We have a new trailer! Supposedly taken from the SGA DVD released in Europe, the quality is dubious and the special effects appear to be from other episodes, but the scenes are definitely from the upcoming SG1 movie The Ark of Truth. (You can see the first trailer on the official site.)

Back in the Pegasus Galaxy, Slice of SciFi interviews writer Martin Gero about the direction the show has taken and how fans just need to get over it, already. (via)

Having trouble getting over it? Maybe winning a walk-on role and lunch with Joe Flanigan and Amanda Tapping will help? (Really must work on that lottery win.)

And only a week left to try and get David Hewlett the chance to fly to LA and meet Queen Latifah.
