Stargate Round-Up

Yes. I agree. Silly of me to go away on a business trip the week after Nerd Prom. So much Gate-geeky news coming out of there.

– Atlantis floats on over to a 10pm Friday time slot, starting September 28th
– GateWorld summarizes the rather giggly panels at Comic-Con
David Hewlett celebrates the nerd love with an editorial on SciFi
– David also breaks the news to those who haven’t seen his fiancee in person that the Stargate Baby Factory continues to be alive and well. (So that would be in addition to Joe Flanigan, Robert Cooper, and Rachel Luttrell this season alone!)
– Producer Joe Mallozzi makes the SCB Campaign happy with pictures of the happy return of Carson Beckett
– More on the big, honkin’ full series box set and its extras. Y’know. For those of us who haven’t been collecting these for years and would have to spend a lot of money just to get those bonus features. (Not that I’m bitter, or anything.)

Stargate News from Comic-Con

For the tenth year in a row, Stargate had a presence at San Diego Comic-Con. (Apparently, this year they were giving away free haircuts if you agreed to cut in and/or spray on a Stargate logo.)

This year, they were pushing the upcoming SG1 straight-to-DVD movies. Sadly, it looks like they’re going to be delaying their release a little to get some better effects completed. Ark of Truth will now be coming out in the Spring and Continuum will now be coming out in the fall of 2008. But the happy news was that third series is still going!

Producer Joe Mallozzi got lots of pictures of the cast and crew who attended (along with his usual list of all foods available).

And David Hewlett reports that if any of the SGA cast looked particularly stupid in their panel, it was all due to being unable to hear each other.

A Dog’s Chat

David Hewlett has announced that he will be attempting a simul-chat for his movie A Dog’s Breakfast on Friday, August 3rd. (ADB is the film starring and made by many Stargate cast and crew.)

Fans who have downloaded the film will all press play at the same time and the chatting will ensue, with fans having the chance to ask questions as they go along.

(You might also want to check out David’s blog if you’d like to know when all the Stargate Atlantis stuff is happening at ComicCon.)

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.)

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.
