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.

The Geek Speaks

GateWorld has posted a new interview with David Hewlett about Seasons 3 and 4 of Stargate Atlantis.

Just a wee bit spoilery, but nothing more than you’ve already seen covered by others.

Hot Leather Aliens

More articles from the recent SciFi Vancouver Media Tour include this small tidbit about the new aliens for Stargate Atlantis Season 4. The Pegasus Galaxy is going to be getting an advanced alien race called The Travelers. David Hewlett (Rodney McKay) describes them as “hot leather aliens.”

In other Stargate Atlantis news, the cover art for the Season 3 DVD has been released. (I’m not impressed.)

The Future of Stargate

Part 2 of GateWorld’s interview with Robert Cooper is up.

Lots of nifty stuff in there about the upcoming movies, the new series in development, the new world of distribution, and his upcoming SGA Season 4 episode Doppleganger.

Oh. And why it really wasn’t a good idea for him to see Jaws at the age of seven.

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.

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….)
