Stargate Atlantis - Jason Momoa Photos - Midway Ratings

From Joseph Mallozzi's blog update for February 19, 2008:

A quiet day today. I wrote in the morning and then, following lunch, we all took the afternoon off to head on over to Sharpe Sound and watch Stargate: Continuum on the big screen. I really love this movie and, evidently, so did Carl who sat beside me, ooohing, aaahing, and laughing throughout the screening. It’s one of those rare productions that both rewards longtime fans of the show, but also offers a great jumping-on point for first-timers.

Oh, and early ratings for Midway had the episode pulling in the show’s second-best numbers of the season with a solid 1.33.

Today’s pics: Our afternoon field trip to Sharpe Sound - and a peek at the re-dreaded Jason Momoa.

The writers' strike is now officially over. So, it's back to business for cable and broadcast networks — many of which last week announced production and launch dates for new and established scripted shows.

But cable networks will fill their summer schedules with original scripted series. TNT will return The Closer and Saving Grace sometime between June and September, while Lifetime's Army Wives will return in June.

Posted in February 19th, 2008 by Craig in Journalism

24 hours from the time of posting this I’m interviewing Paul McGillion of Stargate: Atlantis fame.

I have a chunk of questions for him, but here’s one in an experimental vein: anyone else got a question for him?

(doing this as a journo experiment to follow on from that of the Iain-Banks-a-Rama)

Post [at the site] and let’s see what turns up. No promises, no guarantees but we’ll see…
