After 10 years on the front line, Colonel Samantha Carter is moving from SG-1 to Stargate Atlantis to take up a command position…

**snippage**

"They say, `Heavy is the head that wears the crown.' Sam has the mantel of looking after everyone on this base. For the first time in her career and in her life she's in charge of a group of people, but my character isn't focusing a great deal on the in charge part. By that I mean she's not all like, `Rah, rah, rah, I'm your new leader.' It's more a case of, `OK, I'm responsible for these people's lives, and along with having to make the right decisions, I also have to be aware of the fact that people are going to be following my orders, which means they've got to be the right orders.

We watched the Prod cuts of Midway and Harmony this morning. Fantastic episodes both. Then, this afternoon, we had an extra special guest drop by for a visit. Bob Picardo had swung by for his costume fitting AND to drop off a gift for the pugs, compliments of him and his lovely wife Linda (Check out Bony Barney - the perfect
Halloween accessory for those nervous dogs!) Bob is, of course, in town to shoot his scenes for the big season finale, The Last Man, and came up with a fun idea regarding the outfit Woolsey should be wearing in this episode. It won't be his standard suit.

Today's pics are compliments of Lawren Bancroft-Wilson: a photo diary of Lulu's day at the office which includes a terrific snap of Carl discovering just how sharp her little teeth are.

Today's video: A video of Lulu enjoying(?) her new gift.

Let's wade through the various angry posts and find some questions or comments to field -

Elizabeth writes: " 1) Is Cassie or Jack mentioned in S4 of Atlantis? 2) Why isn't Carter getting the ATA gene? Is the fact that Carter was a Tokra host going to addressed in S4 of Atlantis? 3) Any alternate reality/time travel/people from the future stories coming up?"

Answers: 1) No comment. 2) Given that we've had the gene therapy since season one of Atlantis, and given that SG-1 has come across Ancient tech in the Milky Way galaxy, then it stands to reason that Carter would have already underwent the gene therapy. If that's the case, and she doesn't have the active gene, then clearly the therapy
failed. In answer to the second question - no. 3) No comment.


Danielle writes: "Will any other characters from SG-1 besides Teal'c and Sam will be seen on Atlantis? Vala perhaps? Maybe Daniel? Cameron even?"

Answer: Not in season four. Although if we do get a fifth season pick up, it would make a lot of sense to have Daniel Jackson drop by for a visit. And, if Ben's not too busy, it would be nice to have Cam drop by at some point as well.



Zabadoo writes: " 1.)Will there be any three-parters in the same vein as Reckoning/Threads, The Siege, or Avalon/Origin this season? 2.) Will Martin Gero be writing any McKay-centric episodes this season? 3.)Any chance of getting O'Neill in the fifth season of Atlantis? 4.) Any chance of getting Daniel and O'Neill coming to Atlantis in the same episode next season? 5.)Any Ford ideas as of late?"

Answers: 1) This Mortal Coil, Be All My Sins Remember'd, and Spoils of War are tenuously-linked three-parters. 2) Miller's Crossing. 3) I don't know. 4) If we get the pick-up, getting Daniel on Atlantis will be a priority. 5) None.

Emily writes: "Will the fact that Sheppard obviously has an Elf gene ever come in to play this season?"

Answer: We're saving this revelation for the big stick-fighting three-parter.
