MysteryMadchen writes: “In your personal opinion, do you think that with a large fan outcry, Atlantis could be saved?”
Answer: As much as empathize with the fans and admire their determination, I believe that it’s a done deal. That said, if ratings continue to rise and the series finishes strong, I can think of no better going away present for the cast and crew. And maybe, just maybe, while it wouldn’t get the show uncancelled, it might cause “some” to regret seeing the show end. So get out there, find someone with a Nielsen box, and go watch the rest of the season at their place!
MysteryMadchen also writes: “Have you guys seen a large influx of protesters out side your doors and the studio since the announcement?”
Answer: Not really. I thought we had one yesterday, but it turned out be just some guy watering the bushes outside the gate.
MysteryMadchen also writes: “What is the mood in the office and studio since most of the writers and producers are going to be out of a job?”
Answer: That’s not true. We’re all awaiting word on how things will shake out for next year.
MysteryMadchen also writes: “How is the atmosphere on stage considering the actors are now with out there jobs? Is it a sad place to be now that they know the news? Are emotions running wild?”
Answer: No wild emotions. Everyone has been very professional. Jason M. is single-handedly ensuring that the mood on-set remains upbeat.
Paloosa writes: “I was wondering, if the last episode shot finishes filming at the end of September, how many more weeks of post production will you have until the final episode, sadly, is completed and you can finally relax?”
Answer: Probably not until mid to late December.
Thesp3aker writes: “If the first movie’s a success, how long do you think future movies would keep being produced for?”
Answer: Indefinitely. So long as they’re profitable, I can’t see any reason why MGM would want to stop making them.
Ladyflowdi writes: “When Rodney is telling Keller about his mother, and he makes the comment that he doesn’t understand her… I’ve taken it to mean that either he was very, very little when she died, or else she was speaking to him in another language (French?).”
Answer: Neither. I believe this is an indication that McKay’s memories are fading. He remembers her talking but doesn’t know what she is saying because he can no longer recall her words.
MrsB108 writes: “1)Does “Inquisition” show us the inner workings of Sheppard’s thoughts and well-kept guilt?
2)In “The Queen”, does Teyla’s abilities exceed what is expected of her?”
Answers: 1) No. You’ll have to wait until Remnants for that. 2) Very much so. Yes.
