Episode Guide

A brief excerpt from the Production section of the Episode Guide:

"Guest star Dawn Olivieri is, to use Costume Designer Val Halverson's words, 'a hoot!' The native Floridian and former Deal or No Deal Model #14 is possessed of a quick wit and sharp tongue. Oh, and she also happens to be doing a kick-ass job as 'Identity's' Neeva. Don't mess with Dawn! A couple of our actors learned the hard way."

(Executive producer Joseph Mallozzi, in a post at his blog)

Stargate Atlantis - The Final Episodes

Find out about the new episode airing Friday at 9 p.m.!



A brief excerpt:

GateWorld is counting down the final five episodes of Stargate Atlantis, a series that over the past five years has helped to make the SCI FI Channel a top ten cable network.

This week is the premiere of "Identity," the eighteenth episode of Stargate Atlantis's final season. When Dr. Keller begins acting strangely, the team discovers that someone else -- a woman named Neeva -- has taken control of her body. Meanwhile, Jennifer herself winds up in Neeva's body on another planet -- and finds out that she is a wanted criminal.

Here is how the SCI FI Channel describes this week's episode ...

DAWN OLIVIERI INTERVIEW

Interview available in French and English.

A brief excerpt:

What was your first impression when you went on the set of Stargate Atlantis? How could you describe the atmosphere on the set?

What's interesting about my first day on the set is that is was the day after news arrived that the show was to be cancelled :( . As you can imagine, many where sad and distracted by this sudden life-altering news. This however had no bearing on how welcome they made me feel. It was like a big happy family and I was like the little orphan that they welcomed in with open arms. They were hospitable, eccentric, exciting and so talented. I am not exaggerating when I say it is the greatest group of people I have worked with yet.

Lt. Col. John Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) and Neeva

With what actors did you spend the most of the time during the shooting? How was it to work with Jewel Staite?

I was shooting for a couple of weeks so I worked different days with a different set of actors. I tend to have a lot a fun with the guys so I hung out with Joe, Jason, Paul, and David because we had the most scenes together. Funny story about Jewel is I was so excited to work with her because I had loved her in the Firefly series and the first day in the trailer I told her. How inspiring for me to admire someone for the work that she did and then get the ability to work with them...or work INSIDE them for that matter :)
