Ask Matt
by Matt Roush


Question:
Please tell me why Michael Shanks is leaving Stargate SG-1 and why Ben Browder is taking his place? Sci Fi channel has taken Daniel Jackson out of the Sci Fi Friday ads and you reported Ben Browder was going to be the new leading man. I'm very confused. I watch the show because I love Daniel Jackson, and Michael Shanks is such a good actor. What's going on, please? — Carin T.


Matt:
Don't know where you got this idea, but Michael Shanks isn't going anywhere. Sci Fi confirms he's signed for Stargate's ninth season, regardless of his presence (or lack of) in the marketing these days. Ben Browder is coming aboard to add yet another appealing, hunky, humorous character to the mix. Sounds like a win-win to me.

Ah - but I notice there was another question this week that involved Farscape. Maybe that satisfied him.

At least Matt always keeps up with the Scifi shows and talks about them- most of the other TV critics just ignore them. There are also questions involving Angel, Smallville, Enterprise and 4400.

Here's the link to the "Ask Matt" section where the Stargate question appears - way at the bottom.
