Stargate Atlantis Clip - Ghost In The Machine


We’ve got a clip from this week’s episode of Stargate Atlantis, which is titled “The Ghost in the Machine” and is set to air this Friday night at 10:00 p.m. on the SciFi channel. I’ve never seen an episode of this series so I can’t say whether or not the video is all that spoilery so read and view at your own risk...

Doctor Who - Cluttered Desk: Tom Baker in Doctor Who in 2010?

From Craig McGill's blog, the Cluttered Desk:

Oh yes, still got it. Tom Baker in Doctor Who.



You may scoff, but I - and Rich Johnston (to give him his place) have it on rather good authority that Tom Baker will be in Doctor Who in 2010. I’m so confident about this, I did a piece for The Sun (see the PDF below).

And you may scoff, but may I remind you who it was who revealed David Tennant was the 10th Doctor (see the comments section to read that for free), who did the first review of the new series and who revealed that Tennant wouldn’t be using his Scottish accent (most of the time)?

That would have been me. So I’m standing by this one.

Stargate Atlantis - Cinema Spy: Jason Momoa Interview

From Cinema Spy:

Exclusive Interview: Jason Momoa


Actor not as stoic as his 'Atlantis' character


By Blaine Kyllo | Monday, August 11, 2008

Like Ronon Dex, the character he plays on Stargate Atlantis, Jason Momoa is tall, muscular, and imposing. Unlike the stoic Ronon, however, Momoa is loud, boisterous, and larger than life. He’s the kind of actor that makes sure people know when he’s entered the room, and when he takes to the Daedalus set where interviews with press are being conducted, his voice booms through the hallways.

The day before we saw Momoa in his car, a ’50s-era pink Cadillac he purchased in Santa Barbara and drove to Vancouver in a winding road trio. “She’s called Lulu. Honolulu. Did a road trip, Keroac-style, me and a buddy. Got lost. And found Vancouver. Destination: Vancouver. Windy roads. No heater. We froze our asses off.”

A brief excerpt:

CinemaSpy: Both [stunt coordinator] James Bamford and [costume designer] Val Halverson mentioned how involved you are in idea generation for your character. Talk about that.
Jason Momoa: I’m very involved because to me, my process starts with whatever sparks in my head, my imagination of what this character’s going to be. Then, when I get to set, when I first got here, it was so amazing what these women did with my wardrobe. But it starts for me with the wardrobe. Just like stepping into the character. Val, I would think, is annoyed by me because I’m constantly in there about wardrobe. That’s my passion; I’ve got to constantly be creative. There’s always an outlet there for me, whether I’m doing my art or writing or just having an idea. With that shop down there, they can make, distress, build anything, and Ronon is that guy. He’s always been on the run and he makes his clothes and he’s got these imperfections and it wears the scars of him running. He’s like, “I’ve bled in these. This is my home.” That’s what it is, his boots and his clothes. That’s what he’s carried. To me that was very important, wardrobe.
