Stargate SG-1 / Atlantis - Richard Dean Anderson Website Updates Nov. 23 '07

From a Richard Dean Anderson Website e-mail announcement:

http://rdanderson.com

Brigadier General Jack O'Neill (from "The Shroud")



Some long overdue updates have finally been added to the RDA website this week.

I have finally had the chance to complete my notes for the remaining Stargate episodes, and now, at long last, I have updated and uploaded the Episode Guide for season 10, and the Mission Databases for both seasons 9 and 10.

Jack O'Neill (from "200" - behind-the-scenes dvd featurette)



Now I am hoping to move on to another long overdue project. Last year I had intended to collect and organize a summary and images from the Avalon weekend, but in the light of other projects that needed to be done, that never happened. Now, in time for Avalon's first anniversary, I am working my way through all my notes and images to finally complete the update. I'll be in touch with some people who had offered their pictures to me last year to be included, but this seems like a good time to ask - if there are any other attendees from Avalon last year who would be willing to share some of their photos on the site, please let me know! (The best email to use is kate100 [at]@optonline.net)

Many thanks!

Stargate Atlantis / SG1 - GateWorld: Brad Wright Audio Interview

From GateWorld:

http://www.gateworld.net/interviews/the_wright_stuff.shtml

(Please follow the link to download the audio interview and/or read the interview transcript at GateWorld.)

The Wright Stuff

GateWorld talks with Brad Wright



With two SG-1 movies heading to DVD and a fifth season of Atlantis assured, Stargate's future is as bright as it has been for some time. SG-1 and Atlantis co-creator Brad Wright sits down with GateWorld once again to discuss the latest hot topics regarding the franchise.

Brad talks about the impact of DVR-watching on the franchise, his reactions to Season Four of Atlantis and Joe and Paul's work in bringing it to life, and shares a few visual effects secrets we can expect in "Continuum!"

GateWorld's interview with Brad is available in MP3 audio format for easy listening, and is about 19 minutes long. It is also transcribed [at the link above]. You can also download the interview to your MP3 player and take GateWorld with you!

**snippage**

A brief excerpt:

GW: Now Season Four ends in a cliffhanger. What can you tell us about it? We haven't heard much about "The Last Man."


BW: [Laughter] Well, I should let Paul talk about "The Last Man." But it's a great story. It's a great idea. It puts Sheppard in a very interesting situation. McKay is in it, too, in a very big way, although it isn't really McKay. I don't want to give away too much. It's a great episode and it's, I think, a perfect season ender. Thank goodness it's not the series ender!

Stargate Atlantis - Slice of SciFi: Martin Gero Interview

Special Thanksgiving Day Slice of SciFi Interview with Martin Gero



(Photo of Martin Gero courtesy of Slice of SciFi)

Posted by Sam

Thursday, 22 Nov 2007

Martin Gero is a screenwriter and co-producer for the highly popular SCI FI Channel series "Stargate: Atlantis." Born in Switzerland, this 30 year old writer/producer/director not only writes and supervises scripts for Atlantis but, also spent two full seasons as a writer and the story consultant for "Stargate: SG1," America's longest running SF show in television history.

In 2005 Martin was nominated for a Gemini Award in the category of Best Writing in a Dramatic Series for his work on "Stargate: Atlantis," specifically for the episode titled "Brotherhood."

Martin took time from his busy schedule to sit down with our Slice of SciFi reporter, Linda Craddock, for this special Thanksgiving Day interview. Enjoy.

**snippage**

SoSF: This new season now has Amanda Tapping and Jewel Staite. Describe the elements of the change in cast that has or will change the dynamics in terms of fan perception.

MG: That's a tough question to answer; I mean I think Jewel and Amanda are amazing. For whatever reason we've had to change over a lot of cast members of the show and I think Amanda and Jewel bring a tremendous amount to it. They are not replacements but continuations. We're not trying to replace "Weir", and we're not trying to replace "Beckett". We're trying to continue the story in a new and unique way this season and getting new and unique characters really helps expand the universe, expand the type of stories we can tell. Obviously Amanda's not a new character but she's so perfect in the role as leader of Atlantis. We have an episode called "The Seer" coming up and "Tabula Rasa" and "Reunion", she's made for that role and as for Jewel, if anyone had any doubt, if not gone, will be completely gone after an episode called "Missing". She is phenomenal. I could not be more excited to have Jewel on the show.
