SCI FI PI
Teal'c Cuts Loose: The Ultimate Christopher Judge Interview - Part Two
INTERVIEWS
Wednesday, June 18
by Captain
Christopher Judge is a man who's quick with a laugh, and with a deep resonant voice, it's a booming one at that. Booming. He's not shy of the occasional considered opinion, either.
But for all his success, he is laid back, relaxed and personable, and holds no airs or graces - in fact, the most refreshing and surprising thing about him is his utter candour - as you'll see in Part Two of SCI FI PI's epic interview with the man who is Teal'c.
In this installment, he speaks about (among other things) race relations, Stargate:Continuum, the war in Iraq, Michael Shanks' uncanny impersonations, golf, and why he should have been fired from Stargate SG-1. Something for everyone, really.
Grab another cup of coffee, and read on.
STARGATE:CONTINUUM, UNIVERSE & FEATURE FILMS
Comes in handy as an actor. For you though at the beginning, not that much of an issue - although as the show went on, you had to remember more and more lines.
What was it like 'going back' to Continuum? Did you have to return to a 'bad guy' place?

Comes in handy as an actor. For you though at the beginning, not that much of an issue - although as the show went on, you had to remember more and more lines.
CJ: "When Rick (Richard Dean Anderson) slowed his schedule down in Season 7, when Lou Gossett was on, and Teal'c became an orator, I would look at this stuff - 'this one scene is more than Teal'c talked in three seasons!' (laughs).
It was weird, because that muscle had kind of atrophied, and it took me a while to restimulate it. It was tough for a while."
What was it like 'going back' to Continuum? Did you have to return to a 'bad guy' place?
CJ: "Well the perception of Teal'c before SG-1 entered the scene was that he was a bad guy, but he had been talking to Bra'tac for years (about rebelling against the evil Goa'uld), but he had to keep the facade of the status quo in order to have these back room machinations going on - so in Continuum it was much the same thing - only Teal'c aligned himself with Ba'al, because Ba'al offered him a chance to free his people. So it's still the same endgame, just a different route to get there."

Rogers revamps City schedule
by Marise Strauss
Citytv's fall schedule has had a major facelift and, with the exception of comedy Ugly Betty on Thursdays, looks completely different from last year, as Rogers Media execs seek to bring more stability to the former CHUM channel.
"For the first time between 7 and 11 pm, we have a consistent schedule on Citytv in every single market," says Rogers EVP of programming Malcolm Dunlop. "We feel this schedule will grow [City's audience]."
**snippage**
The City menu, unveiled late last week without a formal presentation to ad buyers or the press, will also see none of the usual sci-fi and fantasy fare such as last fall's Stargate SG-1, Blood Ties, Supernatural and Reaper.

10 Best Sci-Fi TV Shows
By Josh Jackson
June 17, 2008 9:40 AM
I started this blog with a list of the 10 Best Sit-coms since 1980, but in light of last week's season finale of Battlestar Galactica, it's time to unleash my inner geek and look at the best sci-fi TV series of all-time:
8. Stargate SG-1
Based on a mediocre movie with a good premise—that all of our mythology was the result of alien contact with our ancestors—the 10 seasons of SG-1 brought back good clean star trekking fun, complete with its own Spock (Teal'c) and a team leader played by MacGyver. Stargate: Atlantis has kept the spirit of its predecessor alive and well.

Stargate Atlantis - MGM Stargate: Close Up: Paul McGillion

Close Up: Paul McGillion
June 17, 2008 (Actors)
Photo courtesy of MGM Stargate -- Dr. Carson Beckett (Paul McGillion) from "The Seed" a Stargate Atlantis fifth season episode, airing Friday July 18 '08 on the SciFi Channel (US).
Carson Beckett’s death in season three caused heartache aplenty for his loyal fans. But no one ever really dies in science fiction - and to prove it, season five promises to be the doctor’s most interesting year yet, says actor Paul McGillion.
Paul McGillion and Nicole De Boer from "Whispers" courtesy of Joseph Mallozzi's blog.
A brief excerpt:
...In his trailer, actor Paul McGillion settles down out of the rain to talk about Beckett’s return in season five. It’s telling that the actor even has a trailer – he’s no passing guest star, but rather an important, permanent part of the show. In fact, McGillion is back for at least five episodes of Stargate Atlantis’ fifth year, happily reprising the much-loved character that met his untimely demise in season three’s ‘Sunday’. Paul McGillion “I’m happy to be back,” he says with a smile, “I never wanted to leave the show in the first place!”
Of course, it’s worth mentioning that this Carson Beckett isn’t quite the same timid doctor we met in season one, and that’s not just because he’s become a little more inured to the terrors of the Pegasus galaxy. No, this Carson Beckett was cloned from the original by one of Atlantis’ arch enemies, Michael, and rediscovered in season four’s ‘The Kindred’. Still, the differences are subtle… so subtle, in fact, that McGillion laughs at the question of whether they are there at all.

“He’s basically exactly the same. I think he’s much more handsome in season five,” the actor jokes with another laugh. “He’s been away from craft service and he’s dropped a few pounds! But no - there was some comment in our first episode back, ‘The Seed’. There’s a little awareness [that he’s a clone] at first, but that’s diminished now. ‘Outsiders’ is my third episode back, and I think it’s almost like, ‘Whatever!’” He laughs again. “You know that it’s Beckett. I don’t have any special super powers or anything. There’s really not too much comment.”
