I was a Lieutenant Major in the United States Marine Force so I don't understand the problem.

Shep is a Lt. Colonel now. And, does Lt. major come directly before Lt. Colonel?

So basically there was one day on which she worked 19 hours as "The Queen"?

yup that's what she said

[GoSpikey]

Well, Major comes before Lt. Colonel in the USAF, right?

They can never promote Major Lorne to Lt. Colonel, because that would mean he's as high as Sheppard.

Stargate Atlantis week

July 7, 2008 in Television

I hope everyone had a good weekend and that a lot of you are looking forward to the 5th season premier of Stargate Atlantis this coming Friday. I've got a week full of SGA stuff planned out and I figure this post would be a good place to keep track of it all (for you) as we progress throughout the week.

Click on through to see what I have planned and bookmark this post as it will be continually updated throughout the week as each piece of published.

As I sit here munching on a deliciously evil breakfast sausage biscuit (yeah, you know exactly what I'm talking about too) I'm also looking over my calendar to make sure everything is in order. Here is what I've got planned so far.

excerpt:

I’m anticipating this hotly discussed script in the upcoming season, Whispers. It’s got a horror tinge and I was wondering if you could elaborate?

Joseph Mallozzi: I’ve always been a big fan of horror and one of the things that - , one of the great things about Stargate is that we can do such a variety of different types of stories.

I mean, we do our funny episodes. We do our serious episodes, the off world episodes, the ship based episode. I just realized that we’ve never really done a horror episode.

We’ve done monster movies but never really kind of a scare fest. So I pitched stuff to the guys and they really liked the idea.
I spoke to Will Waring, our Director who directed the episode and he’s also a big fan of horror movies.

We actually did a little mini horror movie for the episode, Whispers. What we did, Joe Flannigan and Paul McGillion -- two of our regulars -- joined an all female team on an off world adventure.

I mean, one of the things about TV, episodic television in general is at the end of the day you kind of know that your heroes are going to come out of it in one piece, more or less, unless you happen to be Carson Beckett (and trend A) or what have you.

Talking With Robert Picardo of "Stargate: Atlantis"

Excerpt:
About replacing Amanda Tapping:

Robert Picardo: In the same way that when I got my role on Voyager as the artificial intelligence character in that cast, I was concerned that I would be measured against Brent Spiner’s character because he’d been the android on the Next Generation and now I was the hologram on Voyager.
But nonetheless, we were going to mime some of the same issues and story lines. And I thought he had done that so successfully and was so popular that I would inevitably be measured against him. Fortunately in that case, I was defined by the writers and as much as I could by my own work as differently as I could be from him, and it turned out to be a non-issue, I think.

Stargate Atlantis Season Premiere

By K. Thor Jensen

SCI FI's Stargate Atlantis has enjoyed considerable success for a spin-off of a spin-off of a mostly forgettable movie. Entering its fifth season, the show has developed a number of memorable characters and engaging plots, and last season's cliffhanger finale had the faithful waiting in suspense to see what happens next. The series takes place in a rich, interesting universe, well-developed with a number of distinct civilizations. The primary plot arc of the show has been the war against the parasitic Wraith, but things have grown more complex with the introduction of Michael, a strange hybrid of Wraith and human who considers himself a more evolved lifeform than either.
