I had real trouble with this chapter, and I don't think it's particularly good, but it's done and that makes me glad! The next one will be much more fun to write!

Finally

Well i thought you did a pretty good job explaining it and i really wish they would give us something about Teyla....The Queen ep,that's all we've got to go on........One freakin thing,and RL better be second in the credits after JF this time seeing as Weir ain't there and Sam's not gonna be there so she's really the only other lady left and can fill that spot,right

I mean they can't have Keller in the credits before Teyla,can they

Ok now i'm reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally off to bed!

You make a great point there Linda. I wonder if they would do that now.

JM BLOG UPDATE

Spoiler:

David writes: “Are the new characters going to reacurring throughout the entire season, or just one or two episodes?”

Answer: That depends on a lot of things. First and foremost = who survives the episode

SingsingandBeakman writes: “Speaking of monster personalities: how is Jason M’s prsonality really?”

Answer: He’s a sweetheart.

David Oulton writes: “Quick question…is David Hewlett as bad as what everyone says he is?”

Answer: If by “everyone” you mean yourself, then - no. I’ve never known David to be anything but great in interviews and the special features.

"Well, as expected, reaction to the Whispers casting news has ranged from excitement and anxious anticipation to “Hey, Joe. Couldn’t you cast anyone hideous?” Well, sure, we could have - but rather than basing our casting decision on looks, we chose to pick the best actress for each of the three roles.

I envisioned Teldy as a strong, by-the-book, leader; someone capable of leading her team into battle and going toe to toe with whatever is thrown her way be it an off-world mystery, an alien threat, or Colonel John Sheppard. There were a number of interesting candidates in the running, but after viewing Christina Cox’s late audition it was hard to see anyone else in the role. Those familiar with Christina’s work on shows like Blood Ties, Bones, and House know that she’s an accomplished performer possessed of a commanding presence. Exactly what we were looking for in this case.

The search for someone to play the part of Dr. Alison Porter proved surprisingly tricky. Although she’s described as a “cute nerd”, Porter is really the most nuanced character of the bunch. The only non-military personnel on Teldy’s team, she is in some ways her own little island - the most vulnerable of the foursome and yet, at the same time, the most dynamic given the circumstances. Nicole de Boer actually read for Teldy and, as we sat there watching her audition, Paul and I thought exactly the same thing: “We’ve found our Porter!”. Nicole is an actress who, I’m sure, needs no introduction, having been a regular on shows like The Dead Zone and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. She is someone we’ve been wanting to get on the show for a while now and we’re pleased the opportunity has finally presented itself.

Of all the characters, the tough, wise-cracking Dusty was the most fun to write - and the most frustrating to cast. The fact is, there were a lot of great candidates for the role and, in the end, it came down to two terrific actresses. Janina Gavankar got the nod on the strength of her ballsy read and wonderful comic timing. Those of you who may not be familiar with Janina’s range should check out her run as Papi on The L Word.

Over the hiatus, I pitched out the idea of introducing an all-female team as a means of addressing the male-female imbalance on the show. I would introduce them in an early script and whoever survived the episode could potentially be brought back as a recurring character. As Martin started work on the season premiere, Search and Rescue, he suggested he introduce one of the team members in his episode - a character that eventually became Captain Alicia Vega. Leela Savasta came in and delivered a fantastic audition for the role. Our reaction upon watching the video of her session was something along the lines of: “Hey, where the hell did she come from?” After 11+ years of Stargate, you think you’ve pretty much seen everyone in town - and then some young and talented newcomer appears on the scene. The last time we had a “Hey, where the hell did she come from?” reaction, it was a couple of years ago while watching an equally talented young up-and-comer audition for a two-line part on SG-1. We didn’t cast her because it was such a small part that we figured we could give her a meatier role later in the season. When later came, I called up our local casting director and asked if we could see her again. “Sorry,”he replied. “She’s shooting a pilot in Hawaii.” The pilot: Lost. The actress: Evangeline Lily. And, yep, I think Leela has the potential to be just as successful."

And any Lorne or McKay or plain old Whump fans head over and check out todays pics on JM's Blog!
