We’re just days away from San Diego Comic-Con, and this year’s event will feature a reunion of the cast of Stargate Atlantis! This year GateWorld is sponsoring a full weekend of Stargate fun over on Discord.
Comic-Con@Home in 2021 will take place online from July 23 to 25, with pre-recorded panels, interviews, and other videos taking place all weekend long. The Stargate channel will feature videos from GateWorld.net, some of our favorite interviews from the first season of “Dial the Gate,” and a celebrity play-through of an episode from the Stargate SG-1 Roleplaying Game. Fans can chat Friday through Sunday on the #stargate Discord channel.
But the big feature of the weekend for Stargate at SDCC is a brand new Atlantis cast reunion panel on Saturday night, hosted by Dial the Gate’s David Read! Here is an exclusive sneak-peek at this amazingly fun conversation. The cast reminisces about filming the show (and working on its beautiful standing set), and reflects on its enduring popularity among viewers old and new:
With David on the panel to mark the show’s seventeenth (!) anniversary are:
David Hewlett (“Rodney McKay”)
Paul McGillion (“Carson Beckett”)
Robert Picardo (“Richard Woolsey”)
Rainbow Sun Francks (“Aiden Ford”)
David Nykl (“Radek Zelenka”)
Rachel Luttrell (“Teyla Emmagan”) (not in this clip, but who joins the panel later)
Tune in via Discord for Dial the Gate’s full-length cast reunion panel on Saturday, July 24 (6pm Pacific time / 9pm Eastern). The panel will have a 45-minute premiere at Comic-Con, and the full and uncut conversation will be available after that on the “Dial the Gate” channel.
