Gate Geek – The Season Cometh

Only a couple more weeks until Season 5!  So the newsbits are flying fast and furious.

To start this out with some amusement, the latest Super Fan video is up on the official site.  Big stunts with this one.

Super Fan Contest host, Martin Gero, talks with GateWorld.  In it, we get some slightly spoilery (although not overly so) discussion about the overall storyline, some teasing about Episode 100 and a small discussion about being inadvertently sucked into the middle of a political battle because of his new movie‘s name and content.

Someone who is willing to be spoilery is E! Watch with Kristin who, along with thousands of other fans, has found out the basic gist of what happens in the season opener.

Those screeners are getting a lot of traffic, but producer Joe Mallozzi understands.  He tries to prevent it, but he understands.

Atlantis comes back July 11th.

Gate Geek – One Big Happy

Since I’m a romantic sap, I’m going to kick off this week’s update with pictures from David Hewlett‘s wedding to The Lovely (TM) Jane Loughman.  Being a true geek, David knew the importance of getting coverage out online before horrible camera phone pictures snuck out.  Best wishes to them both!

More pictures, but this time of the official variety with the official promo shots for Season 5.

While Stargate Atlantis enjoys a hiatus before its July 11th return, the official site teases us about Continuum by posting a video touting the return of the great Richard Dean Anderson.

Gate Geek – Ramping it up

Brad Wright is talking Stargate Continuum. (Careful if you’re avoiding spoilers.) And there’s also the news that we should be hearing something about a proposed new series, Stargate Universe, “pretty soon.” Sweet! (via)

GateWorld interviews Jason Momoa who gives a few more tidbits on upcoming Ronon storylines, the ongoing pain of his hair, vacationing in Hawai’i with Joe Flanigan and, quite by surprise, Rachel Luttrell. He and Joe are now sharing a place in Vancouver as the family-less dads.

Another Stargate dad, Christopher Judge, gives a nice, huge interview to SciFi Australia.

Finding Sanctuary on SciFi

The best part about shows with names like this is that you can make horribly annoying subject lines for quite a while with them.

At any rate, the first trailer is up for Sanctuary. This was the first attempt to sell a series strictly online and using fan interaction to help shape the story. Sadly, they just couldn’t make the model work financially. But it was enough to get SciFi to notice and pick them up as a series. So it can’t all be bad.

Series star and producer Amanda Tapping (formerly of the Stargate franchise) catches everyone up on what’s been happening with the show. A nice interview for those who watched it and those who are thinking about it.

Gate Geek – Dreading over the Dreads?

Yes. It’s been a while. Y’see, there was this trip out to Pegasus. The Apollo developed engine trouble. It was this whole thing….

Okay. Not really. But let’s catch up, shall we?

Not to be outdone by a show that’s still on the air, the SG1 news:

Gate Geek – Twirling and Juggling

Some fun stuff to tide us over while we wait for the new season and Continuum.

The official site is treating us to a Season 5 Preview with producer Joe Mallozzi.  (Here lie some spoilers, but not much you haven’t already heard about.)

Speaking of Joe, get out the insulin, the annual Chocolate Party went down last weekend. ::drool::

Rachel Luttrell‘s discovering the challenge of juggling mommy-hood and work.  But she’s having fun!  (A wee bit of spoilage for both Seasons 4 and 5.)

Another Stargate mom, Amanda Tapping, reveals her secret past as a baton twirler.

Stargate Worlds is now accepting beta testers.

Do Good of the Week – More auction fun!

This week’s geeky auction fun is brought to you by the Waterkeeper Alliance. Apparently there are a lot of celebrities who are supporting it, so dig on into it to see who’s offering. (Some mighty cool vacation opportunities, as well!)

Of geek interest:

How did they score so much geek cred? One of the organization’s biggest supporters is Richard Dean Anderson. He MacGyvered them into it, I’m sure.

Thanks to James and The Browncoats for the heads up!

David Hewlett takes over the geeks

Before you non-Stargate fans start mocking, you might want to take another look at what David Hewlett (Rodney McKay) is up to these days. I think he’s trying to become Joss Whedon, or something, and take over the geeks.

In a long-delayed update to his site, David confirms the following geek-inspired projects in the works:

  • Starcrossed – A comedy series pilot for SciFi that pokes fun at making sci-fi series
  • Design of the Dead – A new film that crosses zombies and home design shows (I know a few CJers who would like this one)
  • Heir of the Dog – A sequel to A Dog’s Breakfast. We’ll see how many more Vancouver-area sci-fi actors he can talk into appearing, this time.

Speaking of A Dog’s Breakfast, there are finally a few international release dates for that one. So check his latest blog to see if your country is there, yet.

For the Gate geeks, he reports that he’s quite happy with how Season 5 looks, so far. Although the battle of the multi-colored scripts rages on. (I forsee a scene in Starcrossed!)
