Gate News Roundup

Wow. A gal takes a few days off and all this news happens over in the Stargate franchise! For those who merely keep a peripheral interest via this website, here is the news you may have missed.

– Jack is back! All the Jack O’Neill fans can rejoice. We get us some RDA for the upcoming straight-to-DVD Stargate movies.

– Those who wish to remain totally pure as to those movie plotlines might wish to avoid the information going around about a location being used.

– And a Stargate boy does good by landing a role on a little show you might know called 24. Michael Shanks has been cast as a recurring character on the show.

Part TV, Part Game, All Internet

GateWorld has an interview with Damian Kindler about his time with the Stargate franchise and his new show. (Fans of Vala will want to check out the first half, although you do get into some spoiler territory.)

What might interest those who aren’t into Stargate is his discussion about the new internet show Sanctuary. (Scroll about half-way down to where you see the Sanctuary logo.) Apparently, it’s not just going to be a show that’s shown on the internet (as nice as that will be not to have to rely on network schedules). There will be an interactive component that’s part gaming, part pseudo-MMO. You can choose to interact or just enjoy the show.

Of particular pleasure is the fact that there will be no rights to obtain. You can burn it onto DVD and watch it in your home theater. You can load it on to your MP3 player and watch it during your commute (on the train, not driving). Wait for the official DVD version. Whatever your little tech-savvy heart desires!

Sounds like a bold experiment, along with an interesting storyline on top of it. (He describes it as X-Files meets The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.)

Yeah. I’m intrigued. So shoot me!

Stargate News Roundup

Amanda Tapping (aka Sam Carter) speaks with GateWorld about the journey of her character and the understandable trepidation of fans who have heard the rumor of her going to Atlantis.

Michael Shanks (aka Daniel Jackson) is no longer Mr. Nice Guy in his upcoming movie, as told to MichaelShanksOnline by the movie’s director.

And a belated congratulations to David Hewlett (aka Rodney McKay) and The Lovely Jane Loughman (TM) who have finally done what everyone else figured they would eventually: they got engaged. (One less cute geek on the market.)

And the cover art has finally been revealed for the long-awaited (really long-awaited) Stargate Atlantis Season 2 DVD.

Get into the Gate Stuff

As the producers of the Stargate franchise are fond of reminding us, Stargate SG1 has not been cancelled, it has only been dropped by SciFi here in the US. This, of course, leads us to a slight problem of how US fans will get their Gate in the future.

SaveStargate.com is trying to do some market research on alternate methods of getting your Gate. Give them your feedback.

In other Gate news, a transformed official website has gone up for the syndicated series (which is just starting Season 9). Lots of nifty behind-the-scenes stuff. New layout. Pretty pictures. Go check it out!

Goodnight, SG-I

Stargate SG-1 has been cancelled. Honestly? I’m surprised it’s lasted as long as it has, because every year I think it’s over and it just keeps coming back anyway. Stargate Atlantis and (no doubt) many reruns will remain.

According to the article, it’s lasted longer than any “U.S.-produced sci-fi show. Ever.” Wow. Not even ST:TNG made it that far? Now I’m sad.
