I think with the current situation everyone wants stargate back on the air and this is the best way of doing that, plus he's been interviewing the cast at conventions and on set for many many years so I bet he has a very full address book.
You always hate change at first, but love it after the fact... I think Woolsey was one of my favorite character changes just because he brought such a change to S5
Yeah agreed. I loved Wolsey’s (Woolsey? Idk) multi series arching background story growth. After many years of rewatching the shows he’s grown to be one of my favorite characters for sure.
Richard Dean Anderson was the reason i first started watching the show. Such a great chemistry with all the actors, even started off the Atlantis spin perfectly. It wasnt the same in my opinion when RDA left. . Sg1 and Atlantis were So good. Miss the shows so much
I would say the "worst" transition was after Fraizers death. Her death was well done (in my opinion) but the transition to a different doctor isn't really. Season 8 had random people then in season 9 we are introduced to Landry's daughter but she never develops as a character. The point where I'm not positive what her first name was...
Fraizer's first name is Janet. And I really agree with you that Carolyn wasn't as properly developed as Janet was, most likely because they were too focused on the Ori bow.
Right She didnt have any 1 to 1 scene that really meant something apart of the ones with her dad, she was just there and never developed, that's a missed opportunity, compared to of course Jennifer Keller that started the same but then took part more than I could ever had hoped for
@@richturner978 That's kind of the point, I remember the name of the Actress, but only because I knew her from Andromeda. I couldn't for the life of me recall her character's name in Stargate, that's how underutilised she was.
to me i loved the idea, jonas coming to sg1 and it was so core drama thread of that season. and sunday and heroes was just heartbreaking wonderful episodes. and i love Richard Woolsey for being the antagonist but not evil, he had a reason and integrity and it fueld his actions, how ever he learned to be more laxed
I tend to prefer antagonists that aren't real villains (although a good villain is still fun), it seems more realistic. The vast majority of the time people aren't really all that bad, they're just following their own agendas (which are usually virtuous in their way). We only want to see them as villains because they're opposed to *our* agendas
I was never able to accept Cam, especially as a SG-1 team leader. He was almost desperate and it felt pathetic, in a way. Vala was interesting in a way, but I can't see Daniel really getting in a relationship with her, as they did in canon. I would've preferred Daniel & Sam or Janet. Janet's elimination made a huge whole in the chemistry though it was well done.
I liked having Jonas around and I think they could have better used him after he left or his people, especially if he had set up his own Stargate exploration program and you see Langarans running around the galaxy in their own SG teams. Also Jonas as the guy on the ground resisting the Ori would have been dope.
One of the very very few times cast changes have ever worked was in the Stargate universe. They were all great. The world building was so good. Just sad it ended.
I had to watch the last 2 seasons again to start appreciating Cam Mitchell. I absolutely love Farscape, and it was hard to see Ben Browder as anything else but John Chricton. I think he was trying to find balance too. Sometimes I saw a bit of sassy from O'Neill and Chricton in Mitchell.
I didn't mind, i liked the new crew. The Merlin stuff and the holograpic knight episode are amongst my favorites. Ofcourse i like the classics to like: wormhole x treme, window of opportunity, 1969, 200. I think Vala is hilarious especially in her first appearance with Daniel: "i find you very attractive", that is probably my favorite line of the show including Daniels reaction to that XD
Most of the transitions were very well done. Nothing against Claudia Black but I never cared for Valla, also Cam Mitchell was just too hokey for me. It’s like he was a contest winner for who got to replace RDA. I get it though. No one could really replace RDA
When it comes to single actors playing multiple roles, Mike Dopud came to mind long before I thought of Garwin Sanford. Four unnamed SG-1 appearances, two named SG-1 minor characters, an unnamed Atlantis appearance, a named Atlantis minor character, and a recurring role on Universe.
Been rewatching sg-1 and Atlantis lately. If it wasn't for me binge watching the episodes, I would've never noticed half of the recasted actors. And thats not including the half dozen times they are disguised as anouther race or the unnamed characters... honestly who pays enough attention to notice Marine 1 died in gate room firefight then ten episodes later the same Marine greating Bratac with a M16 in the gate room. I just noticed the actor that plays Luciouse from Atlantis (arguably the most annoying character) is the game master in SG-1 and one of the scientist in the original movie.
@@waveformdistortion Thank you, yeah I binge watched all 3 last year and was shocked how many times he cropped up, I was glad they made him regular ish, it was one of the few relationships I was looking forward too seeing progress but it didn't really go anywhere fast, he could have easily held that show as a main character.
The error of a show that often kills off main characters is that it creates a mistrust from the audience...they can no longer invest in a character, always keeping a distance. I think SG1 found a great balance.
Ps. I forgot to add Jewl was Great in Firefly. she did well at fitting in. I think they tried to do it gradully. Frasure's death was unexpected. She said evan she was supprised when she read the script. Asked her why and she wasebt shure, they just chaanged the storyline. Man. Thats a tough busness to be in. No Warrning at all. Just pull the plug. Cold Indeed.
I think my favorite "Multiple Role" was the guy who played the SG team hopeful and was host to Martouf temporarily, and then went on to play Keras in SGA: Childhoods End. He played two very different roles *very* well. Same thing as with Christopher Heyerdahl. Dude did how many roles? Three? All of them were different enough to dissociate me from the facial recognition.
@@GateWorldDotNet not sure of the actors names but the guy who played Carson appeared as the scientist who went through the star gate and was trapped for 50 years. Plus young Hammond appeared in a later episode.
When it comes to recycling actors for roles, SG did pretty well in not having them noticed to easily. And in the past it was quite a common thing to do with many a series. I've watched a few old ones from the 60's and 70's and there were quite a few actors in them that played different people through their runs more than once.
my Dad&I Loved the show and were saddened by the Dr's death and I met her andd TAYLA @ A COVENTION IN sECAUCUS NJ.in 2005 I think. They were the nicest people you could meet. Im shure al the otheres that I havent met are great people if theyr like these two Lady's. Just very kindhearted. Id love to see Stargate return. Id Love to get in to acting. I miss the show and as a comment It would be somthing to see the or-I make short work of the Wraith. Ben & Claudia's work iv seen in Farscape. Her and Ben were great together. Shes a pisser=Very Funny part she played. They All worked very well Together. I do miss Oneil and relize he missed his family growing up. Hope to see them all again soon. Thanks for reading and Take Care.
For long running series, casting changes are inevitable. In Stargate, they did a pretty good job bringing in new characters that worked individually. Jonas replacing Daniel is a good example of that. We didn’t want to see Daniel leave, but Jonas was a good fit. It worked. The SG1 replacements for season 9 and 10 didn’t go as well in my opinion. I know losing RDA was huge, but there were too many new faces. They became the front runners and even pushed back original characters. Sam Carter did some pretty amazing things to only be 2IC to Mitchell. That is a punishment move that the character did not deserve, militarily speaking and the things that she had done. On top of that, he is technically younger than her and her being on a promotion fast track it doesn’t make sense. If they wanted to make that work, they should had a better plan or back story. Don’t get me wrong, the new characters were likable. I just didn’t like how they went about it. With the way it became, I would have been happy if it ended with fishing.
The funniest reuse of a character to me was Aaron Pearl, considering he'd played young Hammond in "1969." I always imagined O'Neill doing double takes when he saw him. "Are you guys....related somehow?"
I was a big fan of these replacements. Jennifer Keller, Hank Landry and Jonas Quinn. I can still see the General cooing as he teach's Cam about some duck mating call.
The biggest ball drop by the writers was using Richard Ian Cox on Atlantis but not as Nyan.We last saw Nyan come to Earth and be an Assistant to Daniel.Then In the Atlantis episode(The defiant one).Hes Dr.Gall.Nothing could have changed in that episode,Had that been Nyan who came to Earth and worked his way up the ladder to join The Atlantis Expo.I actually thought it was till Shepard calls him Dr.Gall.I just think him as Nyan there would have been cool to see.
Looking back at the series, on different rewatches, Heroes is one of my favorite episodes. Seems it may have been a two episode story IIRC. It's hard to watch and I remember being angry at the time. In retrospect, it seems the swell in exposure helped three more seasons happen. I love it now though still a painful fan experience.
With so many trillions of humans across two galaxy you're bound you have people who look similar. Here on earth there are people who find identical twins in opposite countries or states just the randomness of genetics only has so many probabilities and with such huge numbers you're bound to find those more often
Did you talk about Ben Browder and I missed it? That was the main casting change I was curious about. I always suspected that it was "This other hugely popular show just ended early, let's see if we can make room."
I'd definitely wait then. David talks with cast and crew years after the shows ended production, and the spoilers fly for the entire franchise to date.
I just started the series a few months back and I remembered bits and pieces of it from watching it with my step dad and O'Neal was the man and when they brought it the other guy (forgive me I can't remember his name at the moment because I just started season 9) I was pretty upset but one or 2 episodes in and I don't want to like him but he's actually pretty good too. They did an amazing job with the entire series
Jewel, dr Keller, played Ellis the young girl wraith in the early episodes of Atlantis and then was cast as dr. Keller later in the same show. Lol 😝 I’d seen that episode soo many times before it finally hit me. It was her voice. I was working in my garage with Atlantis playing in the background and I heard dr. Keller’s voice but it was definitely not dr. Keller. My head snapped to look at the tv and sure as can be I could immediately see jewels face superimposed in Ellia’s face. Pretty sneaky! Lol
Indeed! One of the reasons the producers cast Jewel as the Wraith girl Ellia is because she'd be under prosthetics, so they would be able to reuse her for another role if the right one came up.
As in real life, people change jobs or move on to different endeavors or interests, or retire. So new cast replacement characters from time to time should be changed out to reflect that aspect of people moving on and real life, just so long as the new character fits into the show.
I know it is still quite controversial, but I actually enjoyed Mitchell coming to SG-1. Although it was sad to see O'Neill gone, it really felt like his character was winding down and getting dull in season 8 (obviously due to real life). It really gave a breath of fresh air to the show. However, I still think the best idea would have been to end SG-1 at season 8 and have season 9 & 10 be that Stargate Command series instead. It could have potentially allowed it to have 3 more seasons as well, since SyFy seems to consider that the absolute max lol
I wish they’d changed SG-1 up with Daniel being the only original member because I liked his and Vala’s interaction. I think it would have been thematic with the defeat of the Goa’uld. The team won and it was time to move on, and a new SG-1 for a new post Goa’uld galaxy.
*#Darren_Sumner** when was this first aired on **#DialTheGate** channel❓ I haven’t been getting any of it’s **#notifications** on **#RUclips** here lately.*
I didn't necessarily like that they brought back someone who was already very well known in this series that previously died or presumed to be dead, came back in Stargate Atlantis as Elizabeth's husband. That literally made no sense to me, sure he was a good actor but the part that you're talking about, you didn't need anyone to be that good of an actor for that scene anyway, the guy didn't really talk a whole lot and he just did some expressions on his face and other than that that was it. Literally could have been anybody, or it could have been something over the phone where you could hear the other person sigh and it feels sad that Elizabeth was going to go on this mission, didn't even really need to see the actor on the other side especially for that type of scene.
As far as casting, not following standard military protocol in real life really hobbled the show creatively, imo. After 4 seasons, Jack should have been promoted or retired, and replaced by Sam or someone else. Rotating more actors through the series in the role of SG-1 would have made the show even more realistic, created a more expansive cast, and would have allowed the characters to grow.
I hate how the dropped Jonas. We were all sad about his inclusion at first, but I really came to LOVE his character! And, truth be told, he was probably more useful than Daniel from a mission perspective. I still don’t see why he couldn’t have remained a regular.
Jonas Quinn was my favorite. All the other changes were meh and I couldn't stand the show after RDA left. It was trying to be just as good instead of taking a new direction. Browder was just a Jack clone imo
I think the changes to the cast were usually done well, except for two cases: the replacing of Daniel with Jonas and the replacing of Jack with Cameron. In both cases it seems to me they made the new character a kind of cheap replacement of the original instead of a new thing. Jonas was especially bad because in order for him to be able to replace Daniel with all his wide knowledge they had to make Jonas superhuman level genius and that got very annoying. Cameron was a simple knock off of Jack. Would've been so much better if they had let Sam take over leading the team and brought in a new junior member. She deserved that leadership role much more than anyone else
With Jonas, they ended up getting a chance to redeem him when Daniel returned. If they had just kept him on for half a season or so, with the two characters side by side, the differences would have come into focus much better almost automatically. Building up to his reason to leave would also have made him feel less like a piece of clay pressed into a Daniel-shaped hole. Unfortunately, they didn't take that opportunity - I assume for some out of universe reason or other.
Doesn't a change of cast mean the same as different actors playing the same role as a character? What's discussed is not really a change in cast compared to something as a transition in cast. Jessica Steen being replaced by Torri Higginson to play Dr. Elizabeth Wier is a complete change of cast.
im going to up set if Richard Dean Anderson doesn't make some sort of an appearance,, hell he wanted to !!! alot of the Old cast want to be apart of Stargate!
I never liked how Ronan old squad had become slaves to the wraith. The woman and big guy could've been killed off but the smaller guy I really liked and he is good in everything he does. He would have made a good permanent addition to the Atlantis cast.

''Cooper was responsible for creating much of the backstory of the Stargate universe.'' Oh no...
Writing out Dr Elizabeth Weir was a terrible mistake on the part of the writers. Having Carter join Atlantis just felt forced and unnatural, and didn't really add any value to the shows story. Weir's absence as a leader also hurt the story telling in a number of episodes in seasons four and five, where the character of Weir was more suited for story parts and lines.
I read somewhere that Amanda Tapping had a year left in her contract when SG1 ended, so they sent her to Atlantis. She left after that to work on a new show. I wish they had kept Torri Higginson.
Her character was a bit too annoying most of the time. And with her character’s background, it didn’t make much sense in her being the leader of the group. When her character took over command of SG1, it didn’t make any sense either. She had no leadership experience, only being a negotiator, there is no way she would be placed in command of anything that important. Having Carter as the commander made a lot more sense. She was both a military leader and a scientist, two important qualities to bring to such a command. Wolsey even made more sense as a leader having his background as a bureaucrat and dealing with the Stargate projects longer than Weir was.
Yes and no...they did need to happen. The reality is, all shows of this nature, should be done in a semi-anthological format. . The problem is, if you plan for your show to run a long time, you run into two issues. 1) Keeping the stories and setting reasonably fresh without "jumping the shark" or getting into "power creep". 2) Having enjoyable characters that don't become the backbone of the show only to age out of the roles. . Every major series has run into this like a brick wall. Only animated shows have ever really surpassed it, usually by already being so absurd that "jumping the shark" is impossible, and by the fact that their actors' age or appearance is entirely irrelevant. Hence...The Simpsons. . In the case of SG-1, had we followed a different SG team each season, we could've gotten a lot more of the actual development of the organization, and learned a lot more about the Goa'uld, without throwing in hyper-magical tech upon magical tech over and over, as well. Popular characters can always get cameos later on, and if an actor needs or wants to move on from the show, there's no problem. No multi-year contracts, but also no "I'm out of a job" problems. Keeps costs down, too, because you're not constantly giving raises to a static cast in every contract resigning. A format like that could've squeezed 6 or 7 seasons out of just the regular Goa'uld problems, before moving on to something worse, and doing another slow-burn on that for 6 or 7 seasons. You could run the show for 30 or 40 years, always having something reasonably fresh, but never having to jump off the deep end to keep things interesting. Maybe do the "big reveal" at the season 10 mark, and then have several seasons about how Earth adapts to the reality it's just been forced to accept. Part of keeping a well producing water, is proper management of that water usage. Don't drain the ideas so fast. Tease them out, make sure you're paying off those teases in due time. Don't give a feast when a snack will do. Use what you've got, don't go using up more to try and compensate. Etc. . It also would've been amazing for a spin-off show, as well. A spy-thriller about the Tok-Ra, told from the earliest days of their insurrection, and leap-frogging across the centuries until catching up with the other SG shows. You could follow a single symbiote the entire way...but every season would be a different era with a different batch of hosts. That's where you put some of the darker and grittier themes. Don't try to put them into the Stargate everyone expects to be a little campy and amusing to go with it's more emotional moments. In the case of Stargate: Universe...everyone was just expecting more regular Stargate because "universe" is so vague. If you call a show, "Stargate: Tok'Ra," nobody's going to expect the same fun and light-hearted show with poignant moments...they're going to expect life-or-death struggles, and lots of pain. Branding is important...and the big failure of Stargate: Universe was branding...it didn't match everyone's expectations, because everything anyone knew about it just seemed like more Stargate...but that's not what they got.
SG-1 ended with season 8 for me. Season 9 and 10 were terrible in so many ways and the addition of the Farscape cast was the showronners biggest mistake! It made SG-1 unwatchable for me with Ben Browder trying to replace RDA and Claudia Black's cringy and super annoying character killed the show utterly.
Interesting. 9 and 10 are actually my favorites. I thought the Ori were such a great villain, especially after 8 seasons of Gao'uld. Mitchell was different but I thought he had his own fun character traits, and Vala I loved her interactions with Daniel
I actually came on board to Stargate because of Ben Browder. I saw the original movie and loved it. Initially I didn't get the scifi channel until Stargate was in it's 9th season. I fell in love with Mitchell's character. I didn't realize there were 8 seasons until the 10th season ended and I saw reruns. I liked RDA but i love Mitchell.
@@christinaburke2461 Well, I grew up watching the show with the classic SG-1 cast, so from season 9-10 the whole show felt way different and off to me and I also very much disliked most of the storylines from season 9-10. It seemed like the quality of the writing fell way low in those seasons. I hated that SG-1 turned into a Farscape rejects show and I couldn't stand Ben's and Claudia's characters.
@@lordkhal I don't see how Ben and Claudia were Farscape rejects as they were the central stars to Farscape. Well if you didn't like the changes or Ben and Claudia coming on board maybe complain to RDA about stepping down. That was his decision. Am I a Farscape reject because Im a Gate fan because of Ben and Claudia? A lot of Farscape fans became fans of Gate because of them. How about those of us fans who have to sit through 8 seasons without them? Admit it though...it doesn't matter what cast was added to Gate you would have had a problem with them. (Apparently I missed that part of your response of Farscape rejects a few days ago). See this is why so many Farscape fans have an issue with Gate fans. We get a lot of hostility. Who are you referring to as rejects? We Farscape fans or just Ben and Claudia? Do you get so snarky about Beau Bridges taking over for Don Davis? I like Gate because of Ben and Claudia. Are we not welcome on board?
They really should have stopped making the show when Richard Dean Anderson started to exit. Season 9 and 10 really have no right being there, it doesn't even feel like the same show.
Sg1 should have been canceled after session 8, and continue in a new show, stargate command a show that focused on HQ on earth were new teams are send out to explore, not just following one team. were it also could been more starships. That could give endless spinoffs. And more crossover between sta and Stu.
Not really, he loved play O’Neill but he wanted to be with his family more and not miss out on being a dad. All you have to do is see him at an event with the other cast members to know that he loved working with them and would definitely do it again.
Valla sould NOT have been put in the team. It makes no sense in-universe. Hqvkng her as a frequently recurring character would have been a much better way of handling her character.
I always liked Adrian who had asended with all the power of the priors through origin with god complex. She seems just like me,,we would get along well . I feel I could over take her and break her in as a lower level god . But that's my opinion. I could see my self flaming like she did and having an sexual encounter with her and impregnate her,, but in my humen side of life I wouldn't even think of doing that to anyone cause of my personal situation . But maybe bringing back the dinner seen to be a permanent fixture for StarGate Atlantis,, Continum, and SG1, as as place actors can talk with Anubis to guide them through there scrip and proffisional ingagment of their careers and potential of their carictures and how they can infulance the world and globle leaders. Turning the StarGate franchise in to a global models of how to get along and why with great rewards and the possibility of great losses. Just my ruff opion. Thank you for the opportunity to voice my opinion gentalmen and gentalwomen. Christopher J Miller 1:31am EST USA NJ 07026,,1/5/2022. AD.
Changes are not nice, but it happens. HOWEVER, if a writer feels they have to kill a character to make their writing or directing more interesting, then they don't deserve to be a writer or director. If you can't write to make your story more interesting, instead of killing off a character... It's lame.
I agree. If an actor expresses a desire to leave a show, then fine, if the writer feels that the best way to bring closure to that character is to kill them off, then fine. However, when the writer feels the need to kill a character off to, "shake things up", then they just lose my respect. "Shake things up", what does that even mean? They write two characters, Dr Janet Fraiser, and Dr Carson Beckett, who become hugely popular characters, then kill them off, for what? Their deaths didnt add anything to the show. What is it with these people, why cant they just leave things alone and let us enjoy the characters as they are?
@@DavidSmith-fs5qj absolutely, well said my friend. I think it have to do with Groupthink too. One person does it and everyone follow in step. And in the end it never works, so they go out of their way and try to bring those characters back in the weirdest way like alternative universe or a clone.
@@p-cell Thanks for your comment. Yes, when it came to RDA and Amanda Tapping, they were pretty much untouchable, and it was always going to be that way. So when RDA opted for a reduced workload, the writers just came up plotlines in which the character took a back seat, spending more time at the base. This meant that when Stargate Atlantis began, RDA appeared in the pilot, in a reduced role(just to get things going), then had a more prominant role in the two parter in which he co-stars with Robert Picardo(Mr Woolsley). Then Amanda Tapping reprises her role as Samantha Carter, to the delight of fans. Daniel, as you say, well, that one is a whole lot more complicated. The actor expresses a desire to leave because of creative differences, but i would assume the writers really dont want to close the door, so they come up with the accending plotline, and he returns to the show, and makes an appearance alongside Dr McKay in Atlantis(great interplay between the two, "you dont really think you are smarter than me?"). Unfourtunately, if you are a guest star, then you are expendable, but just look at the missed opportunities, think of Dr Fraiser and Dr Beckett appearing toghether, even if its once or twice? Message to the writers, dont burn your bridges.
Stargate has been wOkE since the beginning. I don't understand you people. I guess you are from an alternate timeline where the SGC is run by Nazis or something
you killed off our two favorite doctors, yes you kinda redeemed yourselves by bringing one back but still the point was you killed them off to begin with. some deaths are fine but you did kill off some of the wrong people and then you also let some just fade away all while using some way too many times the ones you should have killed off because they were just too damn annoying
They killed the two doctors off, and for what? Their deaths didnt add anything to the show. If an actor is leaving and they make it clear that there is no way back, then fine, but to kill off popular characters just doesnt make any sense.
zzzzz zzzzz snore ,, i though they were going to say that none of the orgainal cast was coming back and When all these actors are saying they want to be part of this Star Gate Project!! but , . sorry i jsut cant follow this ... i mean i love This show .. And u can tell that all tha actors Were AAA !! U can tell they all Put there hart into this projected I hate it when u watch a show and the 1st season was a Ballpark home run!!! then the 2nd season THen the 3 and 4th , and then 8 or 9 is not.as good ish? I'm not talking about the Writing, im talking about ego-inflated Actors ... so ..., if u take clips from the 1st season , and THe last Season (Or toward the end_) ,, would you see .. a difference in the product value ?. I dont know if the actors are burned out . ( or there ego is inflamed ) and i not really talking about Stargate??? maybe i am ,, but alot of other shows this is way more Evident . u can tell, in season 1 of a show, that these actors rehearsed their lines!! u can tell they Were up all night , REreading the lines , trying to get in the head of that character ( and how the Character felt! ) so, i don't know if when they are in season 8 , they think, o i am famous , everyone knows who i am , i dont need to try supper hard. ( unlike season 1 , u are trying ur supper-best to Be a supper star! u feel like this is your big Chance TO be Seen by the World! ) but , i guess in Season 8 , they think , Man, just another day in the office. ( they dont REread there lines over and over , they are not trying to think about what that Charter is Feeling. ) i mean, i woulder, if u took all the bloopers from a bunch of project that Spanned more the 5 ish years, and you compare, the amount of Bloopers, of Each season, ( like season-8 has 25 bloopers and season-1 had like 3 bloopers ) what kind of Chart u would see. would it go up and down , or would t go up .. ( i cant see it going down) When they Used Film U didnt want Bloopers because it WAs Expensive to Use Film , Now we are digital , so they just let the Actors take there time . since digital doesnt have physical waste like film did .
I stopped watching once Hammond and Jack took back seats. On Netflix I don't watch after Jack and Hammond left. It seriously wasn't worth watching with them gone.
There's a lot of people I know who feel this way. It's kinda sad, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I can understand why, though. Gotta admit, I am still in the MP5 chunk of Stargate, so I have PLENTY more to watch.
Couldn't agree more. When Jack (RDA) took a major step back they should have made Carter head of the team. Broward always came off as a Jack wannabe IMHO and I didn't like the character.
Based entirely on the assumption that equates a lack of medical documentation to a lack of symptoms rather than mitigating circumstances that prohibit the collection of evidence.
I'm kind of in awe of your ability to actually interview and access the people who made Stargate with such regularity so far down the line.
I think with the current situation everyone wants stargate back on the air and this is the best way of doing that, plus he's been interviewing the cast at conventions and on set for many many years so I bet he has a very full address book.
You always hate change at first, but love it after the fact... I think Woolsey was one of my favorite character changes just because he brought such a change to S5
Yeah agreed. I loved Wolsey’s (Woolsey? Idk) multi series arching background story growth. After many years of rewatching the shows he’s grown to be one of my favorite characters for sure.
Hated Woolsey at first but by the end of the first episode with him in charge i was digging it.
Woolsey was good. I liked Carter in SG-1 but she didn’t fit well in an administration role.
Jeffery Combs... lol went years before realizing how many different characters he played! So talented
Richard Dean Anderson was the reason i first started watching the show. Such a great chemistry with all the actors, even started off the Atlantis spin perfectly. It wasnt the same in my opinion when RDA left. . Sg1 and Atlantis were So good. Miss the shows so much
I would say the "worst" transition was after Fraizers death. Her death was well done (in my opinion) but the transition to a different doctor isn't really. Season 8 had random people then in season 9 we are introduced to Landry's daughter but she never develops as a character. The point where I'm not positive what her first name was...
Fraizer's first name is Janet. And I really agree with you that Carolyn wasn't as properly developed as Janet was, most likely because they were too focused on the Ori bow.
Right
She didnt have any 1 to 1 scene that really meant something apart of the ones with her dad, she was just there and never developed, that's a missed opportunity, compared to of course Jennifer Keller that started the same but then took part more than I could ever had hoped for
Lexa Dorg She was the A/I on Andronida with Kevin Sorbo
@@richturner978 That's kind of the point, I remember the name of the Actress, but only because I knew her from Andromeda. I couldn't for the life of me recall her character's name in Stargate, that's how underutilised she was.
Hated them killing Teryl Rothery.
to me i loved the idea, jonas coming to sg1 and it was so core drama thread of that season. and sunday and heroes was just heartbreaking wonderful episodes. and i love Richard Woolsey for being the antagonist but not evil, he had a reason and integrity and it fueld his actions, how ever he learned to be more laxed
I tend to prefer antagonists that aren't real villains (although a good villain is still fun), it seems more realistic. The vast majority of the time people aren't really all that bad, they're just following their own agendas (which are usually virtuous in their way). We only want to see them as villains because they're opposed to *our* agendas
I was never able to accept Cam, especially as a SG-1 team leader. He was almost desperate and it felt pathetic, in a way. Vala was interesting in a way, but I can't see Daniel really getting in a relationship with her, as they did in canon. I would've preferred Daniel & Sam or Janet. Janet's elimination made a huge whole in the chemistry though it was well done.
I liked having Jonas around and I think they could have better used him after he left or his people, especially if he had set up his own Stargate exploration program and you see Langarans running around the galaxy in their own SG teams. Also Jonas as the guy on the ground resisting the Ori would have been dope.
One of the very very few times cast changes have ever worked was in the Stargate universe. They were all great. The world building was so good. Just sad it ended.
I had to watch the last 2 seasons again to start appreciating Cam Mitchell. I absolutely love Farscape, and it was hard to see Ben Browder as anything else but John Chricton. I think he was trying to find balance too. Sometimes I saw a bit of sassy from O'Neill and Chricton in Mitchell.
I didn't mind, i liked the new crew. The Merlin stuff and the holograpic knight episode are amongst my favorites. Ofcourse i like the classics to like: wormhole x treme, window of opportunity, 1969, 200. I think Vala is hilarious especially in her first appearance with Daniel: "i find you very attractive", that is probably my favorite line of the show including Daniels reaction to that XD
I love the episode where they take hostages and Daniel's outburst!
Remeber when she said "A rather limited gene pool" ??? That was really funny.
David Hewlett was almost cast as a different character on Atlantis, until cooler heads prevailed and said "let's just bring Rodney back".
Good to have the series BACK.
My dad showed me the series when I was a kid, and love to this day :)
10 mins flew by 😄 interesting topic, bravo for Rob Cooper to not shy away but even defend the hard choices.
Most of the transitions were very well done. Nothing against Claudia Black but I never cared for Valla, also Cam Mitchell was just too hokey for me. It’s like he was a contest winner for who got to replace RDA. I get it though. No one could really replace RDA
I couldn't agree more
I agree with your opinion of Valla. Mitchell was fine as a character, as a show lead, no.
@@BTC909 very well said. I probably would have liked Mitchell if he was just a recurring character
@@stevedoktor1766 that's how I feel about Valla.
When it comes to single actors playing multiple roles, Mike Dopud came to mind long before I thought of Garwin Sanford. Four unnamed SG-1 appearances, two named SG-1 minor characters, an unnamed Atlantis appearance, a named Atlantis minor character, and a recurring role on Universe.
I'm getting old and forget actor and character names, is this the Guy who was a bounty hunter and then a member of the Lucian Alliance in SGU?
@@karl810 That's the one. Also a Russian soldier, and the runner that kidnapped Dr Keller in Atlantis.
Been rewatching sg-1 and Atlantis lately. If it wasn't for me binge watching the episodes, I would've never noticed half of the recasted actors. And thats not including the half dozen times they are disguised as anouther race or the unnamed characters... honestly who pays enough attention to notice Marine 1 died in gate room firefight then ten episodes later the same Marine greating Bratac with a M16 in the gate room. I just noticed the actor that plays Luciouse from Atlantis (arguably the most annoying character) is the game master in SG-1 and one of the scientist in the original movie.
@@waveformdistortion Thank you, yeah I binge watched all 3 last year and was shocked how many times he cropped up, I was glad they made him regular ish, it was one of the few relationships I was looking forward too seeing progress but it didn't really go anywhere fast, he could have easily held that show as a main character.
6:40 Jeffery Combs always proves that question as to the type of actor portraying multiple characters can make it easy to do.
The error of a show that often kills off main characters is that it creates a mistrust from the audience...they can no longer invest in a character, always keeping a distance. I think SG1 found a great balance.
Ps. I forgot to add Jewl was Great in Firefly. she did well at fitting in. I think they tried to do it gradully. Frasure's death was unexpected. She said evan she was supprised when she read the script. Asked her why and she wasebt shure, they just chaanged the storyline. Man. Thats a tough busness to be in. No Warrning at all. Just pull the plug. Cold Indeed.
I hope if we ever get a new series we see a little bit of what Jonas has been doing all these years
I think my favorite "Multiple Role" was the guy who played the SG team hopeful and was host to Martouf temporarily, and then went on to play Keras in SGA: Childhoods End. He played two very different roles *very* well. Same thing as with Christopher Heyerdahl. Dude did how many roles? Three? All of them were different enough to dissociate me from the facial recognition.
Yes! That's the excellent Courtenay J. Stevens, playing Lt. Elliot.
@@GateWorldDotNet not sure of the actors names but the guy who played Carson appeared as the scientist who went through the star gate and was trapped for 50 years. Plus young Hammond appeared in a later episode.
When it comes to recycling actors for roles, SG did pretty well in not having them noticed to easily. And in the past it was quite a common thing to do with many a series. I've watched a few old ones from the 60's and 70's and there were quite a few actors in them that played different people through their runs more than once.
Thanks for video...
my Dad&I Loved the show and were saddened by the Dr's death and I met her andd TAYLA @ A COVENTION IN sECAUCUS NJ.in 2005 I think. They were the nicest people you could meet. Im shure al the otheres that I havent met are great people if theyr like these two Lady's. Just very kindhearted. Id love to see Stargate return. Id Love to get in to acting. I miss the show and as a comment It would be somthing to see the or-I make short work of the Wraith. Ben & Claudia's work iv seen in Farscape. Her and Ben were great together. Shes a pisser=Very Funny part she played. They All worked very well Together. I do miss Oneil and relize he missed his family growing up. Hope to see them all again soon. Thanks for reading and Take Care.
For long running series, casting changes are inevitable. In Stargate, they did a pretty good job bringing in new characters that worked individually. Jonas replacing Daniel is a good example of that. We didn’t want to see Daniel leave, but Jonas was a good fit. It worked. The SG1 replacements for season 9 and 10 didn’t go as well in my opinion. I know losing RDA was huge, but there were too many new faces. They became the front runners and even pushed back original characters. Sam Carter did some pretty amazing things to only be 2IC to Mitchell. That is a punishment move that the character did not deserve, militarily speaking and the things that she had done. On top of that, he is technically younger than her and her being on a promotion fast track it doesn’t make sense. If they wanted to make that work, they should had a better plan or back story. Don’t get me wrong, the new characters were likable. I just didn’t like how they went about it. With the way it became, I would have been happy if it ended with fishing.
The funniest reuse of a character to me was Aaron Pearl, considering he'd played young Hammond in "1969." I always imagined O'Neill doing double takes when he saw him. "Are you guys....related somehow?"
I still keep Streaming SG-1 with Amanda Tapping, Richard Dean Anderson all the time.
I was a big fan of these replacements. Jennifer Keller, Hank Landry and Jonas Quinn. I can still see the General cooing as he teach's Cam about some duck mating call.
The biggest ball drop by the writers was using Richard Ian Cox on Atlantis but not as Nyan.We last saw Nyan come to Earth and be an Assistant to Daniel.Then In the Atlantis episode(The defiant one).Hes Dr.Gall.Nothing could have changed in that episode,Had that been Nyan who came to Earth and worked his way up the ladder to join The Atlantis Expo.I actually thought it was till Shepard calls him Dr.Gall.I just think him as Nyan there would have been cool to see.
Looking back at the series, on different rewatches, Heroes is one of my favorite episodes. Seems it may have been a two episode story IIRC. It's hard to watch and I remember being angry at the time. In retrospect, it seems the swell in exposure helped three more seasons happen. I love it now though still a painful fan experience.
I'm a big fan of Ben Browder so a fan of Gate because of him.
With so many trillions of humans across two galaxy you're bound you have people who look similar. Here on earth there are people who find identical twins in opposite countries or states just the randomness of genetics only has so many probabilities and with such huge numbers you're bound to find those more often
Did you talk about Ben Browder and I missed it? That was the main casting change I was curious about. I always suspected that it was "This other hugely popular show just ended early, let's see if we can make room."
should I be watching any of this? I have not finished the shows yet (I am 2-3 seasons away)
Spoilers!
I'd definitely wait then. David talks with cast and crew years after the shows ended production, and the spoilers fly for the entire franchise to date.
Random question, what episode does Daniel Jackson dual wield on that Go'auld mothership and get shot while yelling?
If I'm thinking of the same scene as you then it's from S2 E1 The Serpents Lair.
@@stevewright9779 that was the one! Thanks!
I just started the series a few months back and I remembered bits and pieces of it from watching it with my step dad and O'Neal was the man and when they brought it the other guy (forgive me I can't remember his name at the moment because I just started season 9) I was pretty upset but one or 2 episodes in and I don't want to like him but he's actually pretty good too. They did an amazing job with the entire series
We have out dopplrganger on 1 earth, so in 1 galaxy I am sure your going to find a few more dopple gangers.
Garwin Sanford playing another character on Atlantis was really odd, though. He was a significant character on SG-1.
Jewel, dr Keller, played Ellis the young girl wraith in the early episodes of Atlantis and then was cast as dr. Keller later in the same show. Lol 😝 I’d seen that episode soo many times before it finally hit me. It was her voice. I was working in my garage with Atlantis playing in the background and I heard dr. Keller’s voice but it was definitely not dr. Keller. My head snapped to look at the tv and sure as can be I could immediately see jewels face superimposed in Ellia’s face. Pretty sneaky! Lol
Indeed! One of the reasons the producers cast Jewel as the Wraith girl Ellia is because she'd be under prosthetics, so they would be able to reuse her for another role if the right one came up.
i liked kellar joining because it gave Rodney a love interest that wasnt ackward feeling like the first one he had katie
As in real life, people change jobs or move on to different endeavors or interests, or retire. So new cast replacement characters from time to time should be changed out to reflect that aspect of people moving on and real life, just so long as the new character fits into the show.
I know it is still quite controversial, but I actually enjoyed Mitchell coming to SG-1. Although it was sad to see O'Neill gone, it really felt like his character was winding down and getting dull in season 8 (obviously due to real life). It really gave a breath of fresh air to the show. However, I still think the best idea would have been to end SG-1 at season 8 and have season 9 & 10 be that Stargate Command series instead. It could have potentially allowed it to have 3 more seasons as well, since SyFy seems to consider that the absolute max lol
I wish they’d changed SG-1 up with Daniel being the only original member because I liked his and Vala’s interaction. I think it would have been thematic with the defeat of the Goa’uld. The team won and it was time to move on, and a new SG-1 for a new post Goa’uld galaxy.
*#Darren_Sumner** when was this first aired on **#DialTheGate** channel❓ I haven’t been getting any of it’s **#notifications** on **#RUclips** here lately.*

@@GateWorldDotNet *Yeah I’ve checked it several times and all is as RUclips shows it as it should.*
I didn't necessarily like that they brought back someone who was already very well known in this series that previously died or presumed to be dead, came back in Stargate Atlantis as Elizabeth's husband. That literally made no sense to me, sure he was a good actor but the part that you're talking about, you didn't need anyone to be that good of an actor for that scene anyway, the guy didn't really talk a whole lot and he just did some expressions on his face and other than that that was it. Literally could have been anybody, or it could have been something over the phone where you could hear the other person sigh and it feels sad that Elizabeth was going to go on this mission, didn't even really need to see the actor on the other side especially for that type of scene.
The only character I didn't like was Bala. She annoys me a lot. I am ok with the other new characters that came in to replace others.
As far as casting, not following standard military protocol in real life really hobbled the show creatively, imo. After 4 seasons, Jack should have been promoted or retired, and replaced by Sam or someone else. Rotating more actors through the series in the role of SG-1 would have made the show even more realistic, created a more expansive cast, and would have allowed the characters to grow.
I hate how the dropped Jonas. We were all sad about his inclusion at first, but I really came to LOVE his character! And, truth be told, he was probably more useful than Daniel from a mission perspective. I still don’t see why he couldn’t have remained a regular.
Jonas Quinn was my favorite. All the other changes were meh and I couldn't stand the show after RDA left. It was trying to be just as good instead of taking a new direction. Browder was just a Jack clone imo
Always loved Stargate but I feel like a lot of cast changes stem from money 🤑
I think the changes to the cast were usually done well, except for two cases: the replacing of Daniel with Jonas and the replacing of Jack with Cameron. In both cases it seems to me they made the new character a kind of cheap replacement of the original instead of a new thing. Jonas was especially bad because in order for him to be able to replace Daniel with all his wide knowledge they had to make Jonas superhuman level genius and that got very annoying. Cameron was a simple knock off of Jack. Would've been so much better if they had let Sam take over leading the team and brought in a new junior member. She deserved that leadership role much more than anyone else
With Jonas, they ended up getting a chance to redeem him when Daniel returned. If they had just kept him on for half a season or so, with the two characters side by side, the differences would have come into focus much better almost automatically. Building up to his reason to leave would also have made him feel less like a piece of clay pressed into a Daniel-shaped hole. Unfortunately, they didn't take that opportunity - I assume for some out of universe reason or other.
Doesn't a change of cast mean the same as different actors playing the same role as a character? What's discussed is not really a change in cast compared to something as a transition in cast. Jessica Steen being replaced by Torri Higginson to play Dr. Elizabeth Wier is a complete change of cast.
You're thinking of "recasting." A change in cast is simply the roster of full-timers changing, like when Michael left and Corin joined the series.
@@GateWorldDotNet Thanks for clearing up my confusion.
im going to up set if Richard Dean Anderson doesn't make some sort of an appearance,, hell he wanted to !!! alot of the Old cast want to be apart of Stargate!
I never liked how Ronan old squad had become slaves to the wraith. The woman and big guy could've been killed off but the smaller guy I really liked and he is good in everything he does. He would have made a good permanent addition to the Atlantis cast.
''Cooper was responsible for creating much of the backstory of the Stargate universe.''
Oh no...
Writing out Dr Elizabeth Weir was a terrible mistake on the part of the writers. Having Carter join Atlantis just felt forced and unnatural, and didn't really add any value to the shows story. Weir's absence as a leader also hurt the story telling in a number of episodes in seasons four and five, where the character of Weir was more suited for story parts and lines.
I read somewhere that Amanda Tapping had a year left in her contract when SG1 ended, so they sent her to Atlantis. She left after that to work on a new show. I wish they had kept Torri Higginson.
At least we didn't have to sit through more speeches once Wekr was gone.
Her character was a bit too annoying most of the time. And with her character’s background, it didn’t make much sense in her being the leader of the group. When her character took over command of SG1, it didn’t make any sense either. She had no leadership experience, only being a negotiator, there is no way she would be placed in command of anything that important. Having Carter as the commander made a lot more sense. She was both a military leader and a scientist, two important qualities to bring to such a command. Wolsey even made more sense as a leader having his background as a bureaucrat and dealing with the Stargate projects longer than Weir was.
I think Vala was the best (not sure she really replaced anyone though). Jonas was a bit yuck.
I actually love the Ori Saga. Thought it was great
I hope they make a new stargate that uses the Supergates
Love your show and what you do, and try to direct the interview, however, this was a waste of time. Thanks for giving us a new stream
Yes and no...they did need to happen.
The reality is, all shows of this nature, should be done in a semi-anthological format.
.
The problem is, if you plan for your show to run a long time, you run into two issues.
1) Keeping the stories and setting reasonably fresh without "jumping the shark" or getting into "power creep".
2) Having enjoyable characters that don't become the backbone of the show only to age out of the roles.
.
Every major series has run into this like a brick wall. Only animated shows have ever really surpassed it, usually by already being so absurd that "jumping the shark" is impossible, and by the fact that their actors' age or appearance is entirely irrelevant. Hence...The Simpsons.
.
In the case of SG-1, had we followed a different SG team each season, we could've gotten a lot more of the actual development of the organization, and learned a lot more about the Goa'uld, without throwing in hyper-magical tech upon magical tech over and over, as well. Popular characters can always get cameos later on, and if an actor needs or wants to move on from the show, there's no problem. No multi-year contracts, but also no "I'm out of a job" problems. Keeps costs down, too, because you're not constantly giving raises to a static cast in every contract resigning. A format like that could've squeezed 6 or 7 seasons out of just the regular Goa'uld problems, before moving on to something worse, and doing another slow-burn on that for 6 or 7 seasons. You could run the show for 30 or 40 years, always having something reasonably fresh, but never having to jump off the deep end to keep things interesting. Maybe do the "big reveal" at the season 10 mark, and then have several seasons about how Earth adapts to the reality it's just been forced to accept. Part of keeping a well producing water, is proper management of that water usage. Don't drain the ideas so fast. Tease them out, make sure you're paying off those teases in due time. Don't give a feast when a snack will do. Use what you've got, don't go using up more to try and compensate. Etc.
.
It also would've been amazing for a spin-off show, as well. A spy-thriller about the Tok-Ra, told from the earliest days of their insurrection, and leap-frogging across the centuries until catching up with the other SG shows. You could follow a single symbiote the entire way...but every season would be a different era with a different batch of hosts. That's where you put some of the darker and grittier themes. Don't try to put them into the Stargate everyone expects to be a little campy and amusing to go with it's more emotional moments. In the case of Stargate: Universe...everyone was just expecting more regular Stargate because "universe" is so vague. If you call a show, "Stargate: Tok'Ra," nobody's going to expect the same fun and light-hearted show with poignant moments...they're going to expect life-or-death struggles, and lots of pain. Branding is important...and the big failure of Stargate: Universe was branding...it didn't match everyone's expectations, because everything anyone knew about it just seemed like more Stargate...but that's not what they got.
I would've loved a ST: Tok'ra show. I think for a civilization we interacted with so much they were strangely underdeveloped
Whoa whoa whoa, they were all ACTING!? My entire life was a lie!!
SG-1 ended with season 8 for me. Season 9 and 10 were terrible in so many ways and the addition of the Farscape cast was the showronners biggest mistake! It made SG-1 unwatchable for me with Ben Browder trying to replace RDA and Claudia Black's cringy and super annoying character killed the show utterly.
Interesting. 9 and 10 are actually my favorites. I thought the Ori were such a great villain, especially after 8 seasons of Gao'uld. Mitchell was different but I thought he had his own fun character traits, and Vala I loved her interactions with Daniel
I actually came on board to Stargate because of Ben Browder. I saw the original movie and loved it. Initially I didn't get the scifi channel until Stargate was in it's 9th season. I fell in love with Mitchell's character. I didn't realize there were 8 seasons until the 10th season ended and I saw reruns. I liked RDA but i love Mitchell.
@@christinaburke2461 Well, I grew up watching the show with the classic SG-1 cast, so from season 9-10 the whole show felt way different and off to me and I also very much disliked most of the storylines from season 9-10. It seemed like the quality of the writing fell way low in those seasons. I hated that SG-1 turned into a Farscape rejects show and I couldn't stand Ben's and Claudia's characters.
@@lordkhal I don't see how Ben and Claudia were Farscape rejects as they were the central stars to Farscape.
Well if you didn't like the changes or Ben and Claudia coming on board maybe complain to RDA about stepping down. That was his decision.
Am I a Farscape reject because Im a Gate fan because of Ben and Claudia? A lot of Farscape fans became fans of Gate because of them. How about those of us fans who have to sit through 8 seasons without them?
Admit it though...it doesn't matter what cast was added to Gate you would have had a problem with them.
(Apparently I missed that part of your response of Farscape rejects a few days ago).
See this is why so many Farscape fans have an issue with Gate fans. We get a lot of hostility. Who are you referring to as rejects? We Farscape fans or just Ben and Claudia?
Do you get so snarky about Beau Bridges taking over for Don Davis?
I like Gate because of Ben and Claudia. Are we not welcome on board?
They really should have stopped making the show when Richard Dean Anderson started to exit. Season 9 and 10 really have no right being there, it doesn't even feel like the same show.
SG-1 season 8 to me was the end.
Sg1 should have been canceled after session 8, and continue in a new show, stargate command a show that focused on HQ on earth were new teams are send out to explore, not just following one team. were it also could been more starships. That could give endless spinoffs. And more crossover between sta and Stu.
That would have been great!
I could tell by the later seasons Anderson had had enough.
Not really, he loved play O’Neill but he wanted to be with his family more and not miss out on being a dad. All you have to do is see him at an event with the other cast members to know that he loved working with them and would definitely do it again.
Valla sould NOT have been put in the team. It makes no sense in-universe. Hqvkng her as a frequently recurring character would have been a much better way of handling her character.
I always liked Adrian who had asended with all the power of the priors through origin with god complex. She seems just like me,,we would get along well .
I feel I could over take her and break her in as a lower level god . But that's my opinion.
I could see my self flaming like she did and having an sexual encounter with her and impregnate her,, but in my humen side of life I wouldn't even think of doing that to anyone cause of my personal situation .
But maybe bringing back the dinner seen to be a permanent fixture for StarGate Atlantis,, Continum, and SG1, as as place actors can talk with Anubis to guide them through there scrip and proffisional ingagment of their careers and potential of their carictures and how they can infulance the world and globle leaders. Turning the StarGate franchise in to a global models of how to get along and why with great rewards and the possibility of great losses.
Just my ruff opion. Thank you for the opportunity to voice my opinion gentalmen and gentalwomen. Christopher J Miller

Changes are not nice, but it happens. HOWEVER, if a writer feels they have to kill a character to make their writing or directing more interesting, then they don't deserve to be a writer or director. If you can't write to make your story more interesting, instead of killing off a character... It's lame.
I agree. If an actor expresses a desire to leave a show, then fine, if the writer feels that the best way to bring closure to that character is to kill them off, then fine. However, when the writer feels the need to kill a character off to, "shake things up", then they just lose my respect. "Shake things up", what does that even mean? They write two characters, Dr Janet Fraiser, and Dr Carson Beckett, who become hugely popular characters, then kill them off, for what? Their deaths didnt add anything to the show. What is it with these people, why cant they just leave things alone and let us enjoy the characters as they are?
@@DavidSmith-fs5qj absolutely, well said my friend. I think it have to do with Groupthink too. One person does it and everyone follow in step. And in the end it never works, so they go out of their way and try to bring those characters back in the weirdest way like alternative universe or a clone.
@@p-cell Thanks for your comment. Yes, when it came to RDA and Amanda Tapping, they were pretty much untouchable, and it was always going to be that way. So when RDA opted for a reduced workload, the writers just came up plotlines in which the character took a back seat, spending more time at the base. This meant that when Stargate Atlantis began, RDA appeared in the pilot, in a reduced role(just to get things going), then had a more prominant role in the two parter in which he co-stars with Robert Picardo(Mr Woolsley). Then Amanda Tapping reprises her role as Samantha Carter, to the delight of fans. Daniel, as you say, well, that one is a whole lot more complicated. The actor expresses a desire to leave because of creative differences, but i would assume the writers really dont want to close the door, so they come up with the accending plotline, and he returns to the show, and makes an appearance alongside Dr McKay in Atlantis(great interplay between the two, "you dont really think you are smarter than me?"). Unfourtunately, if you are a guest star, then you are expendable, but just look at the missed opportunities, think of Dr Fraiser and Dr Beckett appearing toghether, even if its once or twice? Message to the writers, dont burn your bridges.
Producer. Not so secret crushes:..........Reece Witherspoon !........good choice.
as long as they dont FORCE IT TO WOKE GATE , im all for it, the second i see box tickers im OUT ! i dont care anymore,
Stargate has been wOkE since the beginning. I don't understand you people. I guess you are from an alternate timeline where the SGC is run by Nazis or something
Personell changes are a constant in the military. Civilians hold the same job for decades, and meet a thousand military people during that time.
Jonas > Daniel
Of all the sci Fi shows I've binged. Honestly SG1 was maybe the worst. All of it wasn't great.
How many "you know" can you fit in ten minutes? Many, it turns out.
This doesn't worry me it is the woke cult that worries me ruining great Scfi to make cheap points...
Do you not remember Stargate, Star Trek, Star Trek tbe Next Generation, etc? It has always been "wOkE".
you killed off our two favorite doctors, yes you kinda redeemed yourselves by bringing one back but still the point was you killed them off to begin with. some deaths are fine but you did kill off some of the wrong people and then you also let some just fade away all while using some way too many times the ones you should have killed off because they were just too damn annoying
They killed the two doctors off, and for what? Their deaths didnt add anything to the show. If an actor is leaving and they make it clear that there is no way back, then fine, but to kill off popular characters just doesnt make any sense.
Yes yes we would,,
Woolsey was a baby,unfit to lead
zzzzz zzzzz snore ,, i though they were going to say that none of the orgainal cast was coming back and When all these actors are saying they want to be part of this Star Gate Project!!
but , . sorry i jsut cant follow this ... i mean i love This show .. And u can tell that all tha actors Were AAA !! U can tell they all Put there hart into this projected
I hate it when u watch a show and the 1st season was a Ballpark home run!!! then the 2nd season THen the 3 and 4th , and then 8 or 9 is not.as good ish? I'm not talking about the Writing, im talking about ego-inflated Actors ... so ..., if u take clips from the 1st season , and THe last Season (Or toward the end_) ,, would you see .. a difference in the product value ?. I dont know if the actors are burned out . ( or there ego is inflamed ) and i not really talking about Stargate??? maybe i am ,, but alot of other shows this is way more Evident .
u can tell, in season 1 of a show, that these actors rehearsed their lines!! u can tell they Were up all night , REreading the lines , trying to get in the head of that character ( and how the Character felt! )
so, i don't know if when they are in season 8 , they think, o i am famous , everyone knows who i am , i dont need to try supper hard. ( unlike season 1 , u are trying ur supper-best to Be a supper star! u feel like this is your big Chance TO be Seen by the World! )
but , i guess in Season 8 , they think , Man, just another day in the office. ( they dont REread there lines over and over , they are not trying to think about what that Charter is Feeling. )
i mean, i woulder, if u took all the bloopers from a bunch of project that Spanned more the 5 ish years, and you compare, the amount of Bloopers, of Each season, ( like season-8 has 25 bloopers and season-1 had like 3 bloopers ) what kind of Chart u would see. would it go up and down , or would t go up .. ( i cant see it going down)
When they Used Film U didnt want Bloopers because it WAs Expensive to Use Film , Now we are digital , so they just let the Actors take there time . since digital doesnt have physical waste like film did .
Sorry never liked Woolsey
I stopped watching once Hammond and Jack took back seats. On Netflix I don't watch after Jack and Hammond left. It seriously wasn't worth watching with them gone.
You should really give it a go if you havnt watched far beyond that. You end up missing some good stuff, tho ill admit, hammonf and jack are missed
Your loss.
@@brownro214 Not a loss at all.
There's a lot of people I know who feel this way. It's kinda sad, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I can understand why, though. Gotta admit, I am still in the MP5 chunk of Stargate, so I have PLENTY more to watch.
Couldn't agree more. When Jack (RDA) took a major step back they should have made Carter head of the team. Broward always came off as a Jack wannabe IMHO and I didn't like the character.
I still want more seasons make it to date and occasional nudity doesn't hurt
There is plenty of nudity for you to find...don't infect a good show with the pointlessness of your personal weakness.
It's the giant eaversion to nudity unlike the rest of the world
why in the hell are they saying nerrative, just say story like it has been for centuries
This is all bullshit. Stop killing off the characters.... unless they wanted to leave on their own

mitigating circumstances that prohibit the collection of evidence.
