but it's just a rumor...nobody even knows if it's true. I was commenting on the possibility. I was not aware that rumors and flights of fancy needed spoiler tags. I apologize.

I don't know either if that's the case, but better safe than sorry, I think.

In all honesty, I'd love to see something dramatic happen, stir up the show a bit... But not at the cost of McGillion's character if that were the case.

Losing Dr. Becket may very well be a death knell for Atlantis. In fact, I think a loss of any of the main characters would spell deep trouble for the series.

One of David Hewlett's latest Blogs on his site hints that Paul McGillion may not be the character that leaves. You can read it here:

Hi everyone:

Cliff appeared at the New Jersey Creation Convention over the November 3 -5 weekend. Everything went fine until Cliff was due to leave to catch his flight back to Los Angeles. According to Creation, his driver was late and there was no back-up car. So, Cliff had to depend on the generosity of a nice couple who offered to drive him to the airport. This is absolutely unacceptable for a huge company like Creation Entertainment. This is not the first situation for Creation either. They have fumbled more than once with the guests. It is irresponsible and disrespectful to anyone, and especially inappropriate to an actor the caliber of Cliff to mess up like this. It demonstrates a lack of professionalism. Because of this goof, Cliff is renegotiating his contract to appear at next year's Creation Conventions. He explained to me that he is doing this on behalf of all the talent that attend the Creation Conventions. If they are doing this to Cliff, they will do it to any of the actors who attend. I am hoping that everyone in this thread will join me in expressing that we want Cliff at the Creation Conventions and we also feel that Creation must take more care in their treatment of the guests. It makes good business sence to keep the actors happy. When the actors are happy, we are happy, and we are the ones who put all of that money in their pockets.

If you wish to write to Creation, you can contact them via:

Thanks everybody.

Well, can't say I'm surprised. I've heard a few things about Creation and it didn't exactly put the organisation in a positive light.

[Lida]

You're correct, that kind of behaviour is totally unacceptable. If Cliff is renegotiating his contract, things must be bad, as he is one of the most laid back, sweetest guys I've met from the Stargate crew. He teased me that after all the years he was on the show, the producers never got him his own chair....his chair just says "guest". He kept kidding me I was there for one day, and got my own personalized chair. He is a terrific guy, and it pains me to hear he had problems.

Maybe we need to write to Creation, nicely, and suggest they try and treat their guests with more respect. I simply do not understand how they could be so irresponsible. OK, enough. Have a great weekend everyone and stay safe!

Thank you so much for the link. I never read any of David's blogs before. They are exactly like he is, intelligent, literate, quite humerous and someone with good old fashioned common sense. Made me like him even more, if that's possible. And I'm an "anti-spoiler" person.....so I agree with him completely. Just sit back, and enjoy the ride!

Thanks again!

Awesome McKay is in SG1s finale

[Vega13]

Agreed. Ba'al has no place on Atlantis. He just wouldn't fit in, and Cliff is far too identifiable as Ba'al to be another character. They have plenty of regulars on SGA already, and really don't need SG1 characters being brought over, in my opinion.

Not too sure how I feel about Ba'al on Atlantis... maybe a "surprise" appearance would be a neat idea. He's the only System lord still taunting SG-1... we shall see. That question was asked to Cliff at the convention if he would be appearing on Atlantis.. he wasn't sure yet but he thinks the idea has bee kicked around while in production....Cliff is a wonderful person!! Got the chance to meet him in NJ, convention... kinda got stuck in the elevator with him...literally!!! Oh DARN He is a funny man!

Oh you poor dear, Vega, stuck in an elevator with Cliff. LOL We all wish we could be so lucky. Yes, he is a wonderful man.

Just a heads up for everyone, since this is a "Promote Stargate Celebrities" thread, Cliff's official website now has goodies for sale. Please check out: www.cliffsimon.com

You almost make it sound like Jewel coming onto the show, taking some of Paul's time as a bad thing.

Paul isn't leaving entirely (like many of us thought) and I don't mind seeing more of Jewel in my favorite show.

Cliff is a spokesman for Karma Rescue and recently did a CNN Headline News Local Edition with his dog Harley about dog adoption, etc. as well as StarGate. There are some stills in Cliff's Gallery on his official website, www.cliffsimon.com and when Cliff finds out when the episode airs we'll post the date and time for those of you lucky enough to have access to that channel. ;-)

A group of us are starting an "Appreciation for Amanda" project, tentatively called "Virtual Hug in a Box"

Basically it's to show support and appreciation for Amanda/Sam, her relationships on the show (by that I mean of the character).

If you'd like to participate, there is more info about it at this thread: http://forum.gateworld.net/showthread.php?t=39569

Hi everyone:

For those of you who enjoy going to conventions, and those who are planning to attend the Dragon Con Convention in Atlanta Georgia this Labour Day weekend, now is a great time to let the organizers know who you would like to see featured at the con.

Personally, I would like Cliff Simon (Ba'al) to attend. I hope those of you who are willing to e-mail and ask for your favourite actor will also ask for Cliff as a favour to me. You can e-mail the organizers at:

Mischa Hess - mischahess@gmail.com

The Dragon Con site is located at: http://www.dragoncon.org/

Thanks a bunch.
