... Second-ranked is snogging Jolene Blalock.Aug 28, 2009
|
|
One of Chris's fondest memories of the show is spending half of Season One's "Tin Man" covered in goo ...Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Chris reminisces about food fights of the recent past. "Oh, the Dallas con food fight -- was that the butter one? That was gooood!"Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Chris denies that he's ever "Puffed" or "Ruffled." Do we believe him?Aug 28, 2009
|
|
We won't say what Chris admits to having stolen from the set, in case anyone is reading this who will demand it back! Oh, alright ... it was underwear. The underwear was provided for him after a memo came from MGM during Season One that said that MGM had noticed that Teal'c wasn't wearing underwear and he should be, he told the crowd.Aug 28, 2009
|
|
With regard to the beard Daniel Jackson sports in early Season Nine, Chrisdelights in telling fans about another famous decision of the MGM executives:Teal'c will never be allowed to remove the symbol on his forehead ... becauseotherwise the viewers might no longer be able to tell Teal'c apart from the othermembers of SG-1. Especially Sam Carter.Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Chris Judge doesn't know yet if he'll be writing a script for the upcoming season. As a photographer he's working on his "Women of SF" calendar, and he has a "Men of SF" calendar in the works, too.Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Everyone on the "Icon" set coveted Michael's jacket, but he was the one who got to keep it. It's back in Season Nine -- hurrah!Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Michael Shanks is informed -- in no uncertain terms -- that most fans do not fancy Dr. Daniel Jackson with a beard, as seen in the first pictures of the upcoming ninth season of Stargate SG-1. He reveals that the beard -- aptly dubbed "furling" -- was considered necessary by the MGM executives in order for fans to be able to tell the difference between Daniel Jackson and Ben Browder's new character, Colonel Mitchell.Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Michael likes playing Thor. "Thor's up to three deaths, but Daniel's up to about twelve," he joked. "I try not to take it personally."Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Recent stories have been set largely on Earth, but Michael promises a return to exploring in the show's upcoming ninth season. And for the first time in years The Powers That Be are unconcerned with tying up loose ends. In case the new season turns out to be the last, they're just taking it as it comes.Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Season Nine is being shot in sequence. When the show was going over budget, the suits told the producers to start overlapping again, but they revolted. Michael said the actors didn't mind overlapping much but it was much harder on set-builders, directors, and the rest of the behind-the-scenes crew.Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Michael previously made a living by hitting metal pipes with a hammer to get the rust out of them. Pipe-de-rusting's loss is our gain.Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Michael Shanks is unlike Daniel in some respects; asked how many languages he speaks replies, "Barely one." He tells that his bilingual 6-year-old tells him, "Daddy, you can't speak French." As far as archaeology goes it's the myths and the stories that most interest him.Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Alexis is a true multi-talent. In addition to being an actor and teaching kids about acting, he's also a certified EMT and an ordained minister.Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Alexis's hand ascends without the rest of him.Aug 28, 2009
|
|
The Egyptologist who advised for the production was overjoyed to hear the language he'd painstakingly reconstructed actually being used -- even if it was only to say "pass me a glass of water."Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Tom McBeath reveals that Maybourne was never truly evil -- he just had his own agenda.Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Tom quickly became a fan favorite on and off the stage, spending long nights at the hotel bar chatting away with the con-goers.Aug 28, 2009
|
|
On the set of the "Stargate" movie, Alexis Cruz would converse with Erik Avari ("Kasuf") in Ancient Egyptian, he told fans.Aug 28, 2009
|
|
All the actors lavished praise on the directors of the shows, especially director Martin Wood. Rainbow recounted how in "Runner," at the end of the day when everyone was tired and they were losing the light, they were filming a shot where Ford was supposed to hide behind a tree and watch the two scientists examining the dead Wraith in the woods.Instead, Rainbow suggested it would look cooler if he was in the trees looking down on them.Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Rainbow explains how he came to get the role of Ford in Atlantis –- including a series of nine auditions in a week! Now that his character has been changed to recurring status, Rainbow is involved in an overwhelming array of pursuits, including working with his hip hop music group of 12 years (during which they have released six albums). He is also working on a solo record including one with his family (including father Don Franks, his mother Lili, and sister Cree).Aug 28, 2009
|
|
When asked what he has in common with his character, Rainbow describes how his excitement at being on set in Season One (and working with people he admired) fed into his characterisation of Ford. He also took a moment to detail how he shared some of Ford's Season Two confusion, but that Rainbow definitely doesn't share Ford's crazy-bipolar-Wraith-eating behaviour!Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Rainbow characterises Ford as "craaaaazzzy!" as of the end of Season Two, and that he is "still alive, but with the possibility of being dead." He adds that he as really enjoyed what he has been able to do with Ford this year in terms of character development.Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Rainbow explains that even he doesn't know what's happening with Ford in Season Three, then questions the audience on what episodes they have seen. Rainbow sympathises that due to Atlantis not yet screening in New Zealand the majority of the audience had only seen downloaded episodes. In fact, the show's producers never sent him the final cut of "The Lost Boys" -- so even he had to download the episode!Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Also while filming "Abyss," Cliff immensely enjoyed the scenes where he had to drop "acid" and throw knives at Richard Dean Anderson, mostly due to Anderson's off-camera reactions. Here, Cliff mimes part of the process.Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Rainbow looks unsure at Torri's suggestion of a Season Three Atlantis / SG-1 crossover that involves Michel Shanks spending lots of time on the Atlantis set.Aug 28, 2009
|
|
When asked what his favorite episode to film was, Cliff immediately remembers the levered set in "Abyss." He explains that when the knife drops he was anchored horizontally in mid-air at the top of the set, and then dropped the knife onto "O'Neill" at the bottom of the set.Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Cliff reveals that Chris Judge cancelled his appearance at the New Zealand convention in order to go golfing at some exotic locale with the show's producers (or, alternatively, because he feared the island-nation had insufficient alcoholic beverages to sustain him).Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Cliff explains that no, his Goa'uld voice is NOT due to "swallowing gas" on set (as suggested by one audience member) but is in fact due to a post-production effects process called "flanging."Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Cliff explains that while he finds the "BAM" shipper philosophy (that would be Baal/Sam to the rest of us) a little odd, he wholly endorses exploring it -- especially if a romantic scene with the lovely Amanda Tapping is required.Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Cliff explains that we have many Baals to look forward to in an upcoming episode, where he once again frustrates SG-1.He also explained how he brought his own sense of humour to his characterisation of Baal, and how he delves into his own "dark side" to make Baal a more complex and appealing character -- despite his inherently evil nature.Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Torri shares a picture of her dog Sedge beneath a Wraith wig, illustrating how her beloved pet has got in the groove of being an Atlantis cast member by creating a new and fearsome character -- the Wraith-dog.Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Describing Stargate fans as "beautiful and loyal," Torri relates the nervous time the Atlantis cast had in joining the Stargate family, and how the SG-1 cast and crew welcomed them with warmth and support. As Torri said, it was like they had "a big-brother arm around us."Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Torri questions why the scripts call for so many pretty young women, and suggests things should be evened up by a visit to a planet with a few hunky guys.Aug 28, 2009
|
|
When asked what she does in her spare time, Torri mentions her knitting projects, and is astonished (and amused) to discover how many people in the audience want to take her up on her spontaneous offer to knit everyone "dish towel" gifts.Aug 28, 2009
|
|
Torri says we have several crossovers to Atlantis of SG-1 characters to look forward to, including McKay imagining Sam, as well as the obligatory "dire peril" Season Two finale/cliffhanger which may lead to closer interactions with Earth.Aug 28, 2009
