Return of the Squirrel King!

Written by dgeek

Saturday, 21 July 2007

Back from the big island of Hawaii and hard at work roaring towards the end of season four of Stargate Atlantis! It's so hard to believe that we've only got eight more episodes to shoot before we're done for another year. I'm a bit confused (no news there really) as we've got a few days of "Miller's Crossing" to tidy up while we shoot "Quarantine" and before we get caught up we'll be well into part one of "The Kindred". Spent the first week back locked in a room full of plants with the lovely and talented Brenda James reprising her role as Katie Brown. Not a bad way to get back into the lost city!

...We'll definitely be schmoozing, promoting and marketing our puppy at next week's San Diego Comic-con. Best Buy (who will be selling the DVD...which is hugely great!) is going to host a signing on Saturday from 2pm until 3pm. Perhaps I'll see a few of you there? Looks like I may also be doing some kind of a blog thing (like I'm not already?!) for SciFi.com.

Kate has also updated her blog:

I'm Officially a Twit (July 24, 2007) <--- Click link for more.

Ohhhh dear. I have just discovered Twitter. It's perfect: low commitment, low stress, high fun, an absolute time-waster. JUST what my new Vancouver life needed. How ever will I fit it into my busy schedule?
Hmmmm. Let's have a look:

David has a lot to answer for.

I love BL, very funny show. I honestly think Shatner is better at Denny Crane than he was as Kirk (but that's my opinion).

Comicon, SciFi, Babies & beyond!

Now, let's talk babies. I have got to say that I'm so impressed and honored by how respectful you have all been about this. I wish I could say the same about some of my co-workers;-) We've not been actively hiding the fact that Jane is pregnant, but we decided, early on, to keep this news private. In fact, outside of work, we've only mentioned it to family, and very close friends! We are obviously very happy and excited and perhaps a bit over protective of our new addition. Jane and I both thank you again for letting us have this aspect of our lives for ourselves.

Cheers,

D!

Congratulations to David and Jane and best wishes for a happy and healthy baby!

Showers, Airborne McKay's & Movie Mccoy's

Written by dgeek
Sunday, 12 August 2007


Back from Rachel's baby shower...where apparently boys were welcome. Baby showers have always been part of that female secret society thing that everyone knows and fears, but nobody talks about...to me. A mysterious gathering of giggling, frilly-dress wearing women who would play party games and exchange various tiny clothes wrapped in pastel colored paper that cost as much as the present itself. Turns out it's actually a lot of fun and this was a very classy event organized by Stargate Atlantis' make-up artist Leah. More importantly, they had a trampoline! So naturally I spent a large part of my time hurtling through the air with the all the other...well the one kid not too terrified to join the leaping monkey man in the netted cage. Don't do this after a lot of fizzy pop and cupcakes, trust me ;-)

Spent the week with pretty much the entire Atlantis team, who were in every day setting the scene for the big "Kindred" two-parter. The stunt and FX work on Friday was impressive and I've got to say there's some great fight stuff coming up...though not for me surprisingly. The fight choreography that I saw Jason rehearsing looks great. Seems he'll be going toe to toe with an SG1 classic, and I can't wait to see THAT go down! Heard the pitch for the season cliff-hanger, which sounds wild! Trust me when I say that it's definitely going to get people's attention...from the tidbits I've heard anyway! That said Mallozzi could just be messing with me...he likes to do that.

On the A Dog's Breakfast front, Fox has some interviews lined up for me next week to help gear up for for the DVD launch on Sept. 18th. Looks like I'll have to do that from Terminal city as that's where we're shooting next week! We've seen the "rough" version of the DVD and it's beautiful! They've done a fantastic job with the box layout and design and the menus are simply divine! Of course there's tons of behind-the-scenes footage in the four (yes four!) fantastic documentary pieces that Jane put together...I knew she was good, but this stuff makes her officially the queen of cool! This is must-see stuff for you die-hard Stargate fans and just plain fun and informative for for the rest of you out there.

**snippage**

Damnit Jim, it's true! And I'll make no "Bones" about it! McKay would be the perfect Mccoy in the new J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie...and it works perfectly with the Stargate Atlantis season which stops shooting in October...as far as I'm concerned it's a no-brainer...now I'm just going to hold my breath, sit by the phone and wait for it to ring! Hello, J.J? ;-)

D!

I wonder if that'll be how

Spoiler:

they'll explain Sam Carter's taking over half the scientific work on the show - having Rodney recovering from a Wraith draining and unable to cope with his regular workload.
