 
GW: What about Robert Picardo and what he adds to the show? And his interactions with Ronon and his character?
JM: It's good. It's basically like the last three characters that came in. It's Weir. It's Carter. He doesn't like authority. He doesn't like anyone except for Sheppard and Teyla, you know?
Momoa confirms the love triangle hinted for Ronon, Keller and McKay. | |
I think, definitely, so far this season -- what I've read -- he gets a little bit more into a relationship. He gets a little bit more vulnerability coming out of him -- a lot more -- with Keller. The thing with McKay, where I'm really going to show my ...
GW: A little love triangle going on?
JM: Supposedly, that's going on. But I'm like, "That's so weird." We need to get another woman in. Me and McKay should not be fighting over the same woman. But whatever.
GW: Do you think Keller is Ronon's type?
JM: No, but I'm going to play it that way. I think if there was a mix of her and Rachel -- Teyla -- there would be something there. But personally as an actor, I think it's just a way to add a little conflict.
GW: There was a line in "Quarantine" about how she reminded him of ...
JM: My wife. Yeah, I don't know. I think it needs to be more of Ronon and Sheppard fighting over a woman. That would be more fun. Because me and McKay aren't friends in the first place. It's a mutual respect, but we love-hate each other. I don't want to say I love ... but I care for Sheppard. He's my best friend. So that would make it a little more interesting.
GW: "Tracker" is coming up...
JM: I'm ready. I don't know too much. All I know is there's another Runner. And I'm going to save Keller and find out that he [the Runner] is doing it for a good purpose. But still, I'm trying to beat his ass for beating his ass's sake!
But I can't wait to read that one, bacause Carl Binder's wrote that one. I really love Carl's stuff.
GW: Are you happy with the scripts coming out of the office this year?
JM: I am. I absolutely am. The first one was great. Me and Joe had a pretty crazy time in it. You couldn't describe it as like a 9/11 thing: we're just trapped. Crumbled buildings. Head to toe with ash, mud, blood. It was just pretty intense. And with our own personal experiences going on in there, and trapped in there, I guess it came out really, really nice.

I'm really happy with "Broken Ties." We've got some new aliens that look really, really cool. I don't think they're planning on bringing them back any time soon, but they look fantastic.
"Whispers" is a bunch of hot chicks with Paul McGillion and Joe Flanigan. Which originally I heard, when they first started the season, they're like, "Oh, yeah! It's going to be a great episode. It's you, Joe Flanigan, and all these hot chicks!"
I'm like "OK, cool, right on." And then they moved it to Paul. Paulie's my boy. God bless him. Those two are going to be in hog heaven.
GW: Are you glad to have him back for a little while?
JM: Oh, yeah. I love having Paul back. He's definitely one of my best friends. So yeah, that will be nice.
GW: Are you guys still having fun on set?
JM: Always. And off! Off, yeah. I live with Flanigan.
GW: You do?
JM: Yeah, we're pretty tight. We don't get on each other's nerves too much.
GW: A lot of little ones running around that house.
JM: Nah. He doesn't have his family up here. And my family is just up here visiting. They're hoteling it right now. Rock-and-rolling it.
