“Christopher [Judge] and I represent the most experienced in terms of working on the show but we’re certainly not working with any rookie actors,” Shanks said. “Our ‘new’ cast all have strong backgrounds. With Lou Gossett, Jr. (‘Gerak’) and Beau Bridges (‘General Hank Landry’) there, you certainly know you have your work cut out for you. And we have had a lot of wonderful guest stars so it’s been very exciting, and if anything our part at the early part of the show was just to open the door and make people feel comfortable and make sure everybody got as many chances as possible.”
“Following that, we introduce our next generation in battle cruisers, the Daedelus, and its commander, Colonel Caldwell. Did I mention that Lt. Ford is missing? And, oh, by the way, our heroes have to get the Atlantis shield up, and there’s a time limit because they’re about to be killed by these Wraith darts that are descending on them. Then the very next thing that happens is the Wraith fleet arrives. It seems that the three ships in ‘Siege, Part 2’ were just a precursor. Apparently, there was an even bigger fleet on the way.”
