Robert Picardo interview regarding SGA

[prion]

ROBERT PICARDO is interviewed about xferring his character Woolsey from SG1 to SGA

http://www.iesb.net/tv/040506.php

I transcribed the following quotes, which do have spoilers for those who flee in terror....

BEGIN

Spoiler:

"I can tell you that they've spun my character over to Atlantis so I do the
first ten (episodes). So all I can tell you is I've visited two different
galaxies in a matter of days, and .... My character is turning the screws on ...Dr.
Weir, who runs Atlantis. I'm basically there to review whether or not she
should maintain her command so I'm kind of a bad guy who means well. She's a
little afraid of me but I think by the end we have a meeting of the minds and I
can't tell you what happens."

Well, I liked Woolsey on SG-1. I'm sure I'll like him bugging Weir a bit too. And the first ten eps, wow. That's quite a bit for his character if that turns out to be the case.

well, keeping this spoiler free

Spoiler:

I think that would mean they're going to dump him on Atlantis. I mean, they can't just walk through the gate willy nilly to send through bureaucrats (wasting power, wasting power). Which would mean he'd be there basically for SIX MONTHS.

END

Not sure it's a good idea, overall.

I love Bob Picardo...I love Woolsey...

...But Atlantis is already overcrowded character-wise, especially when you add on recurring characters...

Lemme think

Weir, Sheppard, McKay, Teyla, Ronon, Beckett, Zelenka, Caldwell, Ford, Heightmeyer and now Woolsey

Well, Ford has been reduced to a guest spot, and so far, no word on a season 3 appearance, so that's one less, but yes, Woolsey could take time away from any of our regulars, although pity the man if he insults Ronon. Hmm, could be a short-lived assignment.

We might as well start planning the funeral. What flowers do we get?

Hmm, peace lilies?

Woolsey doesn't appear in all ten eps

he only appears in "No Man's Land" and "Misbegotten" on SGA
and on SG1 in
"Flesh And Blood" and "Morpheus"
he appears in the first two episodes of both shows, and will return later on in SGA

And probably in SG-1's "Morpheus" (info from Rob Picardo's official website)

Spoiler:

"Mr. Woolsey will be accused of some very shocking behavior toward the SG-1 character Vala Mal Doran, played by actress Claudia Black!"
