IN THE LAND OF WRAPPED

Yes..........no entries on the old blog since the end of the season..........I have been spending alot of time with work outside of Stargate, and with my friends and family. The end of the shooting season was full of surprises, both on the set and off. Lots of fantastic stories and action to behold in the second half of the third season of Atlantis and some great action to discover on SG1. I only speak of the action on SG1 as I am only involved with that portion of the show.......the combat portion.......The last day of shooting for season 10 I was there for however......very full of emotion and tears.........smiles and laughter........alot of recounting old times past by cast, directors, and producers alike................it was actually a great energy on set and back at the trailors. Visitors gathered to be there for the last shot of the tenth season.........I went home early as I thought there were enough folks already there that needed to share that time with each other without any extra faces to contend with. It was just a great experience, that whole last week. I wanted to write something about it before now, while it was still fresh in my brain.....but......other work took over and kept me busy right away. That whole week was full of big action on both shows for me to look after and keep safe. We really pushed it to make everybody proud of the season's end..................Nobody really knows what is in store for SG1 but something is...............what that is......is.......I don't have a clue!!! So don't ask me!! Sorry. I am not the keeper of that information. I do know that Atlantis is already going to be full of new cool situations with the same dark feel.......I am going to find new ways to make the audience cringe in their seats when they feel the pain of our heroes.........................The rest of season 3 will blow you away..........yep. Everybody is off doing their own thing......conventions........other films or TV..............life..........romance..............travel.................but we will all come together at the end of February next year to commit to making you a fantastic season 4. I look forward to it. In the mean time, I am working with some other professionals in film on other projects........alot of fun.....not the same as the family we have on Atlantis, but alot of fun. I hope everyone had a safe and fun Halloween as I did. Stuntman John Kralt and Stuntwoman Melissa Stubbs both had huge Halloween bashes.....Kralt's being the annual......the stunt community attended both and enjoyed each others company greatly. Good friend and stuntman Lauro Chartrand is getting married in Panama this January 6th......2007.......so quite a few of us will be gathering to so our love and support to our friend(and get a tan). Well............what else is there to write about? Hmmmmmmmmmm? Nada? Ciao.

Glad to hear that it's holiday time!

I have seen some of the SGA actors on con - not Joe, just Rachel, David Nykl and SG1 - Tony (Bratac).

I'm looking forward to the xmas break and just the end of the year. And yeah, also looking forward to SGA next year - S3 has been amazing :D

Have fun in Panama next year :)

Can you tell me if there is a guide to the Atlantis filming sites accessible to the public?

I'll be in Vancouver in October and would love to see some.
