Probably still locked up tight in MGM\u2019s vaults, right? Together with Jonathan Glassner, Brad Wright launched the SG-1 saga with high hopes and experience gained from The Outer Limits. Robert Cooper was right there with them as an executive story editor and writer.<span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"> <\/span>He worked his way up step by step from co-producer, to supervising producer. When Glassner stepped aside after SG-1\u2019s third season, Robert became Brad\u2019s co-executive producer, and then an executive producer for both SG-1 and Atlantis, taking part in both writing and directing. This dynamic duo, now filming and writing for their third series, has yet to see their peak.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">It was a pure thrill to see these two. It was always part of my dream of my ideal visit to Vancouver to be able to see these guys. Correct me if I\u2019m wrong, but I don\u2019t think they have ever attended an event that was not held on the west coast. I knew my only chance of ever seeing them was in Vancouver, and I got my wish.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Brad and Robert did not waste any time before telling us the latest production news, and to me, their enthusiasm for Universe was infectious. \u201cWe actually saw the first directors cut of the first episodes on the weekend, and Rob and I were just backstage going, \u2018It\u2019s pretty good, isn\u2019t it?\u2019 So we\u2019re really <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">really<\/em> excited about that, and we hope you will be too. . . . Thank you! Goodnight! (makes a motion to jump out of his chair and leave the stage, laughing).\u201d<!--more--><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">What\u2019s with the element names? Rob said to Brad, \u201cI don\u2019t know. That was your baby. Why don\u2019t you answer that one?\u201d Brad answered, \u201cwhen we were discussing the show, Rob and I, when we were talking about what it was going to be, the struggles, the stories that we were wanting to start with were exactly that: very elemental. We wanted the man against nature, man against man, the very simple survival thing to come back again because we had gone so far in <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">fifteen seasons<\/em> of things called \u2018Stargate\u2019 and teo movies, we needed to start fresh, start again with elemental stories. Yeah, survival. That\u2019s why it\u2019s \u2018Air\u2019, \u2018Water\u2019, \u2018Fire\u2019, \u2018Earth\u2019. And you know we\u2019re going to run out of elements. We\u2019re not going to do \u2018Plutonium\u2019! Although, I do have a good \u2018Plutonium\u2019 idea. But that\u2019s the answer to that question!\u201d <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Brad turned to Robert and said, \u201cDo you want to add something to that?\u201d Robert scratched his head and said, \u201cWhen we looked at creating a new Stargate, a new arm of the franchise, we sat down and talked about what we thought was very successful about the other two, and what we needed to bring in order to make it good, and one of the things that we really wanted to maintain was the idea that Stargate is science fiction but it\u2019s happening <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">now<\/em>. It\u2019s in the present, and it\u2019s hopefully populated with characters that we can all identify with. It\u2019s <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">us<\/em> out there in a supernatural situation, and I think in some ways Atlantis was the best and the brightest, and maybe separated itself a little bit from you and I (chuckles), who are not \u2013 well, maybe you\u2019re a genius, but I know I\u2019m not. I think we wanted Universe to be populated with characters that we could all maybe identify with a little more, and also put them in situations and against obstacles that we can all identify with a little more, as opposed to super bad guys. They are challenges that, &#8211; in a science fiction way \u2013 we can all maybe relate too.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Will there be humor? Brad answered, \u201cYes. There\u2019s no question that when Sci-Fi was putting together that trailer [which we watched just before Brad and Robert came out] they were going for a mood, for an energy, something illustrated by some of the new energy the show is going to have. My daughter said, \u2018Are you making a zombie movie?\u2019 (laughs) I said, \u2018Yes, we are.\u2019 There\u2019s going to be humor in the show because of the same thing Robert just said. These are people from the here and now, not anaseptic (floats a hand skyward) distant future people who are very serious. Bad things happen and people still make jokes, so A) we can\u2019t help ourselves, and B) the characters that populate Stargate Universe are the kinds of people who are going to be funny.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Will there be references to SG-1 and Atlantis? Brad shrugged, shook his head and said, \u201cIt takes place in the same world. There will be visitors from those shows.\u201d Fans went WOOOO! <span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"> <\/span>and applaud before Robert picked up the topic saying, \u201cAnd a lot of back reference. We obviously want people who are going to be joining the Stargate franchise for the first time with Universe to be able to follow a long, but that doesn\u2019t mean we\u2019re not going to try and reward people who have been fans of the franchise from the beginning. We are going to try and achieve both.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">What about the Stargate Atlantis movie? Brad looked around and said, \u201cAre there any pitchforks in the room?\u201d We laughed and our wonderful Creation MC, Alan told Brad and Robert, \u201c[The name sounded like \u2018Bill\u2019 but that doesn\u2019t make sense, does it?] gave us authorization to hold you hostage if need be. Answer carefully.\u201d Brad turned to us in all seriousness and said, \u201cLook, we still want to make a Stargate Atlantis movie, and the sets are still up for that purpose. MGM does not leave multi-million dollar sets up and pay the rent at multi-million dollar stages if that is not their on-going intention. [We cheer until Brad gives us a \u2018wait-a-second\u2019 gesture, his index finger up] After I\u2019ve said that, when we were originally talking about doing this, the world economy was a little bit different. And so the guys who say, \u2018go ahead and do that\u2019 are saying, \u2018Uh, (repeats gesture) hang on a sec\u2019. So, that\u2019s where we are right now. Joe {Mallozzi] and Paul [Mullie] have worked hard on the script, and boy they want to make it as much as you guys want to see it.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">What about the Stargate SG-1 movie, and what do I have to do to be in it? <\/em>Brad and Robert laughed. Robert said, \u201cBrad, I\u2019ll let you have this one.\u201d so Brad said, \u201cThat almost never happens to me. I\u2019ll answer your first question first. Again, when we start shooting the Stargate SG-1 movie depends on whether or not we do the two movies back to back. The Stargate SG-1 movie will probably start shooting in the Fall. I say \u2018probably\u2019 because there\u2019s a lot of deals that have to be finished being put in place before that can actually happen. That would leave the summer as the release time, roughly around the same as Continuum. And you can be in it if you audition and get the part. There\u2019s a lot of hoops you have to jump through.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Why did you kill Fraiser? I got the feeling that this was a question that is asked often, since it was a difficult episode for a lot of fans to get through. Brad, answering in a round-a-bout sort of way, said, \u201cPart 2 of Heroes, we <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">really<\/em> thought that was going to be the last season. We <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">really really<\/em> did. We thought \u2018Lost City\u2019 was going to be the end of the SG-1 run, so we didn\u2019t think . . . We thought, \u2018well Fraiser can die, real clean, the last season. Or the third to the last season as it turned out to be. (Shrugs) I felt bad about that.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">There was a question regarding stories that revolved around Ancient technology in Atlantis. I\u2019m afraid I couldn\u2019t understand what the questioner was after, but Brad understood well enough to say, \u201cQuite often when you\u2019re trying to come up with stories \u2013 and the rules of how the Stargate works is a good analogy. Atlantis is another; I mean the whole city is another way of looking at it \u2013 when you have problems, when you have obstacles in your path, that is much more possibility for creating story then when something is there for you. I mean if [they could just go,] \u2018well why don\u2019t we just got to the ZPM maker? (Clicks his tongue loudly) There we go! (pretends to grab the ZMP and plug it in)Problem solved! End of tease!\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">I missed what this question was exactly, but it had to do with how the episodes relate to what is going on in the world, and the re-occurring theme that asks people to band together for the greater good. This question caused Brad to go, \u201cOh, God. . . . Rob?\u201d Everyone laughed at Brad\u2019s generosity, and then Robert did an excellent job at fielding this question. \u201cIf coming together as human beings, and putting aside our various beliefs and differences so that we can all join in one world community, if you\u2019re saying that\u2019s a good thing I agree with you. I don\u2019t think that we\u2019ve necessarily been critical. I think that we\u2019ve really tried to allow for people to interpret what they want out of the those stories. I think that science fiction allows you to tell stories that are metaphors for what is going on in today\u2019s world. Sometimes they get closer to the truth than they do metaphor, but that\u2019s the beauty of being able to tell a story in that milieu, right?\u201d Brad added to that, saying, \u201cThere have been cases in our storytelling where blind faith is something that may be bought. At its core, it takes the characters, and the characters we are facing, into bad places. There\u2019s no question. We did an episode called \u2018The Warrior\u2019 <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">before<\/em> 9\/11, and after 9\/11 we looked at this episode, where we had a Goa\u2019uld posing as a Jaffa sending people through the Stargate with bombs strapped to them, and we went, \u2018Oh my God, this is a little heavy, it\u2019s a little too direct to what\u2019s actually going on in the world\u2019. But that\u2019s what science fiction can do very well. And even though it seems too close to the bone at the time, we\u2019re very proud of that episode. And with all the things, like the Ori are a great example of that kind of thing going too far and our characters having to fight it.\u201d Regarding that, Robert had one more thing to add. \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s that bold or pretentious to say that killing people for what they believe in is bad.\u201d For that, Robert received a round of applause from the audience. Well said, Robert!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Lightening the mood, questions returned to Universe. <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">Will there be aliens?<\/em> Robert\u2019s \u201cAh, yes\u201d was classic! <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">Will you elaborate?<\/em> \u201cWell, the one thing I can say is that we\u2019re doing, at least initially, are going to be <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">very<\/em> alien. They are not going to be human beings wearing prosthetic make-up. Or speaking English. They are going to be as alien as you would hope to find out there, in the far reaches of the universe.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">The next Universe question had to do with how the crew trapped aboard the <em>Destiny<\/em> will be able to relate back to people on Earth. Robert took this one. \u201cThere is a component in the new show that allows our characters \u2013 even though they\u2019re trapped on the ship \u2013 to still relate back to Earth and to people on Earth, and it\u2019s going to allow us to tell stories about them interacting with their loved ones and essentially tell Earth stories\u2014\u201c \u201cIn Las Vegas.\u201d Brad interjected. Robert smiled and said, \u201cWell we are going to shoot in a couple weeks in New Mexico. There\u2019s a patch of desert down there. We\u2019re going to be shooting scenes from \u2018Air Part 3\u2019 the third hour, down there. We\u2019re really looking to find new ways to do episodes that aren\u2019t set in <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">trees<\/em>.\u201d Brad and Robert said \u201ctrees\u201d one right after the other. It was funny, especially with how Robert smiled rather sheepishly at us. However, they should practice saying it in unison. We would have been rolling on the floor!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Uh oh, back to the heavy stuff. I wondered how long it was going to take for someone to ask this. <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">What was the reason that Atlantis was cancelled?<\/em> To their credit, Brad and Robert didn\u2019t shy away, but they didn\u2019t give us a straight answer either! Robert stated simply, \u201can extremely high stress job.\u201d Brad laughed. \u201cThat\u2019s true. (Shrugs) Things change, that\u2019s all I\u2019m going to tell you. Things happen. There\u2019s other pressures outside our own little offices and our own pens, and other we-have-their-words. <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">They pushed you towards cancelling?<\/em> No, no I mean there are things \u2013 real tangible things in terms of ratings that we have to respond to.\u201d Robert jumped in. \u201cIt\u2019s not <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">just<\/em> ratings. Think about the type of things that go in on your work place or in any work place, and unfortunately those things often spill over into the creative decisions. They aren\u2019t always related to our feeling about a particular character. There are other issues that become part of the picture.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Tell us more about the SG-1 movie. Brad took this one, no doubt because according to sources, he penned the script himself. \u201cWe want it to revolve around Richard Dean Anderson\u2019s character because <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">he\u2019s cool<\/em>. One, and two because I had a story idea that really worked with O\u2019Neill. And it\u2019s not just his character, by any means. It\u2019s a Stargate story that brings O\u2019Neill back. He wasn\u2019t in Continuum that much but I love the movie when he\u2019s in it, so (shrugs) that\u2019s how I feel about that.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">A fan came up and just wanted to thank them for the reference made in Atlantis\u2019s series finale to the passing of Don Davis, who played General George Hammond. Brad said, looking at Robert, \u201cI think that idea was either Paul [Mullie] or Joe [Mallozzi].\u201d Robert confirmed, \u201cI\u2019m pretty sure it was Paul Mullie. We had decided that we wanted to obviously pay tribute to Don, but Paul I think felt that it would be nice to have the characters pay tribute to the character as well.\u201d Brad added, \u201cWhen Children of the Gods [the new cut] comes out, it is in memory of Don.\u201d Thanks from me, Paul. You made me cry, and I loved it.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">A fan went up with a comment about the Universe trailer saying that \u201cyou don\u2019t get to see very much at all, and it seemed like the camera work is very Battlestar Galactica style\u201d. Fans who agreed with that assessment, including myself, applauded as Robert began, \u201cIn style, it is very different from what we have done in the past. I don\u2019t believe that it is Battlestar Galactica, or attempting to emulate Battlestar Galactica. It is very more mobile than we\u2019ve done in the past with SG-1, and the concept is that we wanted to shoot this a little bit like a documentary crew would shoot a ride-along to a space ship out in the universe. That maybe we could get audiences to embrace the science fiction elements and the characters in a realistic way if we shot the show as though we\u2019re using the language of documentary and reality, so rather than just necessarily waving the camera around, we\u2019re trying to put the camera in places where a documentary crew might have to go in order to capture the performances, the action. What it\u2019s allowing us to do \u2013 and in working with our DP on the pilot, Ron Schmit, and Jim Menard, and Michael Wendell, our regular DPs \u2013 is we\u2019re trying to lighten sets in a very natural way, which allows the actors to walk in and basically perform as through they\u2019re on a stage. As though they\u2019re really in the situation. And what we\u2019re finding, we\u2019re getting out of that is far more <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">real<\/em> performances. The impression, at least from my own personal opinion of watching the show, is that you feel as though you\u2019re there with them. It feels less staged. It feels less \u2013 in some ways \u2013 unrealistic. And to bring that tone to a science fiction show, I\u2019m hoping will allow you or help you to connect with those characters in a way maybe you hadn\u2019t been able to before. So I certainly hope you feel differently when you watch the show. It\u2019s not intended to by style of style\u2019s sake, or to emulate any other show, although to be honest with you, one of the shows that we both love (indicating Brad) that we did look at as a \u2018that\u2019s a style we would love to try and approach\u2019 is Firefly. That\u2019s how Firefly was shot. There\u2019s a lot of handheld stuff. Cameras were placed in places that were non-traditional or typical of film making, and we examined that quite closely and looked at other shows \u2013 dramatic shows \u2013 that are shot that way as well. &#8220;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\"><em>When can we expect to see more footage?<\/em> Brad, being a smart-aleck, says \u201cWell you\u2019ll see footage when the show airs.\u201d Robert said, \u201cI assume there will be more trailers. You have to understand, these are teasers. They are really just to get you thinking about the show and to put a mood out there. Obviously as the air date gets closer you\u2019ll see some more.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">We hear that one of the Universe characters is gay. Robert kindly confirmed this rumor, joking, \u201cI don\u2019t know what goes on in Joe Mallozzi\u2019s mind. But there are at least one, potentially two, gay characters on Universe. Our goal is to make the characters on Universe as complex and complicated and realistic and identifiable as we can, to as many people as we can.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Now for the two and a half pages of random notes I have left!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Brad and Robert said they were shooting the 5<sup>th<\/sup> episode in the coming week after the convention. That means \u2013 if they held to the usual schedule of one episode per week and have not gone on summer hiatus as of yet \u2013 this past week they would have filmed the 16<sup>th<\/sup> episode of the series. IMDB seems to confirm this, saying that several of the main cast members are seen in 16 episodes. Are you getting excited? Because I am!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">When asked if there will be episodes similar to Atlantis\u2019s \u2018Vegas\u2019, they only said that there is potential because \u201cyou have to find ways to change things up and keep things interesting.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Brad had a little bit more to tell us about the new release of SG-1\u2019s Children of the Gods, which is currently scheduled to be available on July 17<sup>th<\/sup>. As of the convention, the new cut had been delivered to Fox. The most exciting news is that the DVD will include the first ever audio commentary on SG-1\u2019s Pilot, and you\u2019ll never guess who\u2019s on it! May I have a drum roll please? Brad Wright and RICHARD DEAN ANDERSON! That\u2019s right! This will be Rick\u2019s first ever audio commentary! Regarding actually sitting down with Rick to do the commentary, Brad said, \u201cIt was like he was seeing for the first time, it was funny! He would say, \u201cOh yeah, this is good!\u201d, and he never used to do that.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">We put the same question regarding bloopers to Brad and Robert as we did N. John Smith, and we learned that Robert is not opposed to bloopers, but Brad doesn\u2019t think that the footage he\u2019s seen that would qualify is all that good. We attempted to tell them otherwise, shouting that we love that kind of stuff, and we were told \u201cthere may be bloopers someday.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">When asked about a theatrical release for any future movies, Brad and Robert said they\u2019d like to see it happen too, but it\u2019s not their choice, it\u2019s MGM\u2019s, and business reasons make it very difficult to do it. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">I think someone asked if Brad and Robert have something against doctors, since they have killed doctors on both series. The only note I have as a response is that the SGU doctor should clone himself. . . . Is that a hint?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">When trying to get more details about what we will see in Universe, Brad and Robert summarily told us we may or may not see Furlings at long last, they will invent new races, and there will be ties to the Ancients because the <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">Destiny<\/em> and its mission was built and begun by the Ancients. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Someone \u2013 possibly from the UK \u2013 asked if Universe will be airing simultaneously on Space. Brad and Robert said they didn\u2019t know about when the UK would air it, but they suspect it will be quicker than usual because Robert Carlyle is a very popular actor in the UK. Apparently, Joe Mallozzi either has or will be paying Robert to come on his blog! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Someone commented on the constant cast changes in Atlantis, to which we were told, \u201cIt added drama if no one is safe.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Will the Stargate in SGU be different from SG-1\u2019s and Atlantis\u2019s? It was clear that Brad and Robert didn\u2019t want to give us any details on this. Robert only said, \u201cI think this is the coolest gate ever\u201d. In an attempt to placate us as we demanded more information, we were told that at the beginning of the series, the Earth gate will lock a chevron that we\u2019ve never seen before. . . . We all oooo\u2019d as if we were impressed. Has anyone <em style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal;\">really<\/em> kept track? <span style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"> <\/span>Thanks a lot, guys!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Someone familiar with John Scalzi\u00a0 asked about his involvement with SGU. We were told that Brad and Joe Mallozzi are big fans of his work, and he\u2019s working as a creative consultant on Universe. \u201cHopefully he will write.\u201d Thanks to Shannow for providing me with the correct spelling (I wasn&#8217;t even close), and a link to more info in the comments below!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">We were told that next year the SGU sets should be available for the tour.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Finally, someone asked if we might see Cliff Simon return and play the part of Ba\u2019al\u2019s former host in a future story. We were told there is potential for that, but we won\u2019t be seeing him in the next SG-1 movie.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">I\u2019ll never take for granted how lucky I was to be able to see Brad and Robert. I hope that I will get the chance again someday. It\u2019s always fascinating to learn about the thought process that went on behind our favorite show, and who could know more than the executive producers and the people who created the series? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">Beyond all the amazing new hints and information they gave us regarding Stargate Universe, Brad and Robert\u2019s overall message, and their parting words to us, were \u201cPlease give SGU a chance!\u201d They are aware of our concerns and our skepticism regarding some of the details that we know of to date. Personally, I am more than happy to devote an hour a week to their latest creation. I trust these people. They have made me laugh, cry, and yell at my TV for over 8 years. They\u2019ve inspired me to dream and create in ways I didn\u2019t think I was capable of before. Sure, I have my concerns just as many fans do, but I have complete confidence in the writing team and the Stargate production crew. They will remain true to the existing Stargate franchise. They will not let us down.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 13pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Calibri'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Calibri';\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Calibri';\">We\u2019re down to our last two guests, but I saved the best for last! Next, it\u2019s time to see everyone\u2019s favorite archeologist! Michael Shanks is on stage with great stories to share!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who can guess were Stargate would be today without our next guests?
