latest news

The fourth and final day of Creation Entertainment’s annual official Stargate convention brought with it news on the upcoming Stargate Universe series in a special panel with the show’s creators, along with stage appearances by two fan favorites.
First up for the day was executive producer N. John Smith. Smith talked about several Stargate projects, noting that he feels Universe is “a fabulous new concept. I can’t wait for fans to see what’s been done.”
Per Smith, the third SG-1 film has been green-lit, although the start of production could be in a state of flux .
“When we were shooting SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis 1-5 cheap dvd at the same time, it was a huge strain on all involved,” Smith said. “I think, so that we are able to provide a better product, we’ll probably try to begin production on it in the fall after we wrap filming on the first season [of Universe].”
“You never know, though,” Smith continued. “There could be a little bit of overlap.”
On the convention stage next were Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper, who stopped in as special guests at the convention to conduct a panel on Stargate Universe and answer some of the burning questions fans have about the third series.
The two also talked about thoughts behind those one-word episode titles, the upcoming Stargate Atlantis 1-5 cheap dvd and SG-1 movies, bloopers, changes to the Atlantis leadership, how SGU is being shot, Stargate’s lack of recognition in Canada, and more.
Wright also announced that the new cut of “Children of the Gods” is finished and now with MGM and FOX — and when it arrives it will include an audio commentary with Wright and actor Richard Dean Anderson The film will also be dedicated to Don S. Davis who passed away last year .
Convention guests were next welcomed to an appearance by convention regular Michael Shanks.Within the first few minutes — and without actually saying the words — Shanks all but confirmed an appearance on Stargate Universe

Sky1 buys Stargate Universe

Sky1 has picked up the UK rights to new US sci-fi drama SGU: Stargate Universe, starring Robert Carlyle.
The show, the next chapter in the Stargate franchise, and billed as "edgier in tone" than its predecessors, will follow a team of explorers headed by Dr Nicholas Rush, played by Carlyle, who have to fend for themselves when their hidden base comes under attack.
It is executive produced and written by Brad Wright and Robert Cooper, who were behind Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis 1-5 cheap dvd.
The show will launch on Sky1 and Sky1 HD in the autumn with a two-hour special and will conclude a week later with a one-hour episode.
The Sky1 head of acquisitions, David Smyth, who oversaw the deal with MGM Worldwide Television Distribution, said: "The Stargate franchise has been a terrific performer for us over the years, and our audience has always loved the show on Sky1."
Gary Marenzi, the co-president of MGM Worldwide TV, added: "SGU will set a new standard in adventure programming."
The show, currently in production in Vancouver, will premiere in the US on SyFy - the re-named Sci-Fi channel - in October.

Vancouver Convention Report: Thursday

Yesterday, Creation Entertainment’s annual Official Stargate convention in Vancouver kicked off in fine fashion, and GateWorld was there to cover it all!
The day’s festivities kicked off with a visit by Valerie Halverson, lead costume designer for the Stargate franchise since Season Ten of SG-1. During her Q&A session with convention-goers, Halverson spoke of both the joys and challenges in costuming a franchise as diverse in styles as Stargate requires. She specifically mentioned issues such as finding wardrobe options that would conceal actress Rachel Luttrell’s (”Teyla Emmegan“) pregnancy during Season Four of Atlantis — scripts didn’t reflect her condition until she was already over five months pregnant in real life.
She also acknowledged that it was a conscious decision for the main cast of Stargate Atlantis cheap dvd 1-5 to appear in more leather-based attire beginning in Season Four, as a way to make the costumes “more sexy” on-screen.
Next on the stage was a “Working Actor in Vancouver” panel which included Fulvio Cecere, Kirby Morrow, Heather Doerkson, Jody Racicot, Michael Kopsa and Patrick Currie. Fulvio, who has appeared on both Stargate SG-1 and Battlestar Galactica, directly compared the production styles of the two series.
“Stargate is a well-oiled machine,” Fulvio said. “It really is like working with family! It was the same experience on Battlestar, but with them it was more like a feature. With Stargate, we’d shoot eight or more pages in a day, but with Battlestar it might be only three or four. The crew would leave and it would just be us and the director. We’d discuss the shot we needed and thoroughly rehearse it, just like on a movie set.”
The group panel was followed by an appearance by SG-1 actor and fan favorite Gary Jones (”Sgt. Walter Harriman“), who had the crowd in stitches as he discussed a variety of stories from his days on the series. One in-depth recollection involved his first day of shooting scenes with actor Beau Bridges (”General Landry“) at the beginning of Season Nine — and having director Peter DeLuise force him to do his line reads a second time in his best Captain Kirk impression.
As reported previously, Jones also confirmed the news that both he and Richard Dean Anderson will be putting in appearances in episodes of Stargate Universe, set to premiere in the fall.
The evening ended with an improv performance entitled “Starhole SG-1.5,” in which Jones (reprising his role as Harriman) and actor Dean Haglund (The X-Files, The Lone Gunmen) played various Stargate character roles in a brand-new adventure — and several convention guests were invited up to the stage to perform various roles.
The fun and excitement continues tomorrow as the convention will see appearances by David Nykl (”Radek Zelenka“), Dan Shea ( stunt coordinator for SG-1), Connor Trinneer (”Michael“) and Teryl Rothery (”Dr. Janet Frasier“). Keep your browser locked to GateWorld as we continue to bring you the latest on all things Stargate throughout the convention weekend! stargate atlantis cheap dvd 1-5

Richard Dean Anderson will be on Stargate Universe

He led SG-1 through the gate for eight seasons, and helped launch Stargate Atlantis 1-5 cheap dvd five years ago. Now Richard Dean Anderson is set to bring Jack O’Neill back to Stargate with what sounds like multiple appearances on Stargate Universe.
“Rick is doing episodes of Universe,” series co-creator Brad Wright told GateWorld exclusively today. “He was just here yesterday shooting an episode of Universe with us. So that relationship is always on-going, and it’s good to have him back.”
The show’s fifth episode, “Earth,” is currently filming, and is likely one in which Anderson will appear. But will he help kick off the show by also appearing in the first episode, as he and Michael Shanksdid with Atlantis?
Later the same day (today), former Stargate SG-1 1-10 dvd co-star Gary Jones ) appeared on stage at Creation Entertainment’s official Stargate convention in Vancouver, and told fans that he is appearing in an episode of SGU with Anderson. He noted that General O’Neill will have been promoted to 3-star general for the episode they filmed together.
Jones didn’t specify which episode it was, but he also noted that he (Jones) was asked to appear in the SGU premiere, “Air.” So, if you’re keeping score at home, Jones should appear in “Air” and Anderson is likely for “Earth” — while Anderson is possible for “Air” and/or Jones is possible for “Earth.”
Confused? To add to the speculation fun of fans attending this week’s Vancouver convention, part of Michael Shanks and Amanda Tapping’s Sunday appearance has been moved to Saturday. According to reports from fans communicating with Creation, the reason given is that both actors have an early Monday morning call for filming. Whether that’s for Stargate Universe or not is still guesswork.

Mega Buzz on Housewives, 24, Leverage, Lost and More!

Every week, senior editors Matt Webb Mitovich, Mickey O'Connor and Tim Molloy satisfy your need for TV scoop.
When will Kim Bauer be coming back to 24 hours 1-6 dvd? And will it have anything to do with the bio-weapon Jack has been exposed to? — YongMATT: When I asked Kiefer Sutherland about the nature of Kim's latest encore (slated for mid-April), he said, "Something has happened to Jack, and it's he who asks for her — normally it's the other away around." Kiefer went on to call the father-daughter reunion "very human and real ... a part of the show I'm excited for the audience to see." So your theory sounds about right. Just don't expect the now-married Kim to have Pony Boy at her side; her Season 5 romance apparently didn't take.
Are we ever going to see the Scavo twins on Desperate Housewives 1-4 cheap dvd again? I love those goofy bastards. — RachelMICKEY: No word on Dumb or Dumber, but if it's adolescent angst you're hankering for, get a load of this: Another Housewife will soon find herself playing surrogate mom to a feisty, spoiled teen diva who breaks the rules to get what she wants. Sound familiar?
I really enjoyed Season 1 of Leverage, and I'm glad it's coming back so soon. Is it safe to assume the team's staying together? — FrankTIM: Yes, they'll all be back for Season 2 (premiering in July), but with a bit of a role reversal. Instead of Nate holding the team together, his band of thieves will have to keep him from leaving. They'll also move their headquarters to his loft in Boston, and meet clients at the bar downstairs — which could be an issue. As you'll recall from Season 1, Nate is still struggling to get his drinking under control.
Did Lost 1-3 cheap dvd Sayid actually kill teenage Ben? If so, does that mean adult Ben will now "disappear"? — ConnieMATT: Already we have heard from Young Ben (aka Sterling Beaumon, full Q&A here) on the matter. Now, let's check in with Adult Ben's portrayer. "Although it appears that the situation is dire, it would be wrong to count Ben out," the deliciously cryptic Michael Emerson tells the Buzz. "Remember that the man we know as Ben has a destiny, and that a conventional life is insignificant when compared to the life of the Island."
Will we see The Office 1-2 cheap dvd Jim and Pam get married this season, or at least hear something about their wedding plans? — SarahMICKEY: Jim and Pam won't tie the knot until the fall, I hear, mostly because Pam's new job sitch will complicate their courtship. In the meantime, ask yourself this question: What would happen to this twosome if Pam becomes more successful than Jim?
Why was Life on Mars 1-2 cheap dvd cancelled? Ratings? If so, how bad were they? — ClemTIM: Mars averaged between 5 million and 6 million viewers, placing last in its time slot among the 18-49 demo that rules television. "Technically, there is the 'make-good number,' which they promise the advertiser they're going to make," executive producer Scott Rosenberg says. "We were unfortunately coming in underneath ours." You can click here for more of the interview, which says how much closure fans can expect. Or, you can refuse to accept the end and sign this petition calling for another season.
What's ahead for the Grey sisters on Grey's Anatomy 1-3 cheap dvd? — KellyMATT: You know how when sad dad Thatcher Grey swings by Seattle Grace, he almost always stirs up some sort of trouble, angst and/or agita? (My God, he's a drag.) Amazingly, his April 30 visit will bring Meredith and Lexie closer together ... as they collude to murder him and hide the body. OK, the back half of that sentence was wishful thinking on my part (no offense, Jeff Perry).
Christina Applegate has said that ABC will only air six episodes of Samantha Who? Please tell me that Ugly Betty chea dvd will be back after that. That show was getting really good! — JoyceMICKEY: Applegate told us that Samantha's spring run could be extended by five episodes if the ratings for the first six (which boast "really big things between Samantha and Todd") are strong enough. It's unclear how such a scenario affects Betty, which is set to reclaim its time slot on May 7. What is clear is that I would be a more likely sex addict than Betty's new beau, Matt. (If you know me or have seen any of my various online dating profiles — "Caring, Clean, Blue-Eyed Virgo Wants to Share a Box of Kashi GoLean Crunch and a Fifth of Gin with YOU!" — you will realize that this is funny.)
Is The Cleaner dvd with Benjamin Bratt ever coming back? — DonnaTIM: A&E's The Cleaner will return sometime this summer, and we can tell you exclusively that one episode focuses heavily on fathers, sons, and substance abuse. Bratt's William Banks tries to spend a weekend with his son, Ben, but his father (Raymond J. Barry, aka Lost's Ray Shephard) enlists him to help an alcoholic pal (guest star Joe Don Baker). We then meet a widower (Stargate: Atlantis' Michael Beach) whose eldest boy has just died in war and whose younger son, played by Tyler James Williams (Everybody Hates Chris), bonds with Ben over their struggling dads.
You said in a recent Mega Minute that One Tree Hill's 1-6 cheap dvd Nathan gets an offer to play basketball in Europe. Please say he doesn't accept! I need my "Naley" intact. — BessMATT: Maybe, just maybe, the Scotts' marriage will dodge that bullet if Nathan instead gets recruited by a very local NBA team — which this photo seems to suggest. Then again, those Tree Hill kids have always been big dreamers.
You guys have got to give it to me straight: Is The Game canceled? This waiting for a decision is driving me bonkers. — NatalieMICKEY: You're not the only one wondering, Natalie. While there won't be an official announcement until the May 21 upfronts, and though the ratings aren't strong (even by CW standards), a source tells me The Game's chances for another season are actually better than they were a few weeks ago.
Any scoop on Harper's Island? Have you seen the previews and was it any good? — MaryMATT: Given my affinity for slasher films, the first hour of CBS' limited-run series pretty much met my expectations — right down to a pretty nifty (and grisly, for network TV) end-of-episode cleaving. For others interested in visiting the Island, I strongly suggest studying CBS' primer on each character/suspect before sitting down for the April 9 premiere, which is surprisingly light on heavy-handed exposition.
I heard there's going to be a suicide on House. Please tell me it's Thirteen! — RoseMICKEY: OK, fine, it's Thirteen. Are you happy now? [Editor's note: It's April 1.]
Tim's Mega Rave: Denis Leary has always kind of bugged me, and I didn't watch the first four seasons of Rescue Me. But the first episodes of the fifth season, which debuts April 7, are spectacular. Leary's great, Michael J. Fox is a welcome addition to the cast, and the first hour features a fire at a fireworks factory. What's not to like?
Mickey's Mini Rant: The Office's Jim Halpert has lost his mojo, and it ain't pretty. Not only does the new boss hate him, but his once-subtle gift for trickery has been replaced by bombastic desperation. (A tuxedo in the office — really?) No wonder Pam doesn't want to work with him anymore.
Matt's Micro Riff: CBS' How I Hid Your Pregnancy amuses me.
Reader Quote of the Week: "Please for the love of god, kill Nate. If [Gossip Girl cheap dvd 1-7 is] gonna jump the shark, the least they could do is have him die in a freak hair straightening accident." (asho902, weighing in on Gossip Girl's flirtation with the Shark)

Walsh: 'Bones,' 'Graves' have forensics-based tales

Two recent crime novels use forensics as an important part of their plots - but go in entirely different directions. One is more cerebral while the other is action-packed.
• "Bones 1-4 dvd" by best-selling author Jefferson Bass (William Morrow, $24.99) is the fourth in his popular series starring Dr. Bill Brockton.
He's the forensic anthropologist in charge of University of Tennessee's Body Farm, which uses corpses to assist in the determination of unusual causes of death.
Advertisement
OAS_AD('ArticleFlex_1');


The "guy who watches the bodies rot" and his graduate assistant are called to investigate when a body is found frozen in a swimming pool behind a dilapidated hotel.
The victim is Dr. Leonard Novak, a highly respected physicist who was deeply involved in the Manhattan Project in nearby Oak Ridge, Tenn., during World War II.
But Novak didn't die by drowning, his death was from specific radioactive poisoning. There are a few intense forensic scenes with unpredictable results; Novak's semi-lucid ex-wife Beatrice, offers captivating oral recollections.
Bass, the pseudonym of the writing team of Dr. Bill Bass and Jon Jefferson, deftly combines forensics and history, linking Novak's death to another which was concealed years earlier as the atomic energy project drew to a close.
It's probably best to read the three earlier books in the series to enjoy the character development; this one is significantly thought provoking before real action takes place at the end.
• "Scattered Graves" by Beverly Connor (Obsidian, $7.99) is exactly the opposite - it's jam-packed with frenzied action throughout.
Diane Fallon, the head of the crime lab at the River Trail Museum of Natural History, is frustrated when Spencer Jeffries, the new mayor of Rosewood, Ga., decides to replace her.
Officially, forensic anthropologist Fallon is still in charge, as the crime lab is controlled by the museum, not the town. But Fallon's got a lot more trouble, particularly when a nasty cop attacks and tries to kill her.
Soon the body count rises and her friend, the former chief of detectives, is the prime suspect.
This is the fifth in her highly entertaining series; it works well on a number of levels. Make no bones about it: this case becomes considerably more complicated as she discovers a deadly conspiracy.
Ray Walsh, owner of East Lansing's Curious Book Shop, has reviewed crime novels and noir thrillers regularly since 1987. bones 1-4 dvd

The SCIFI Channel Talks SYFY

The SCIFI Channel’s big announcement of its rebranding has been an extremely controversial decision in the eyes of fans of the network. The timing felt wrong as the announcement came as the network’s most successful science fiction series, Battlestar Galactica, comes to an end. Was the finale of BSG the last hoorah for science fiction fans that actually appreciate having a network dedicated to the genre they love? Well, the answer is yes and no. Yes, the network is changing and will be expanding its programming but at the same time there are several big science fiction shows launching on the network so there will still be plenty for fans to sink their teeth in to. The question is; what does the future truly hold for the network? I was invited to sit in on conference call and ask the tough questions of SCIFI Channel president Dave Howe:In previous interactions with Dave Howe, I’ve found him to be an open and honest person and right away he says that this interview session should be “no holds barred”. The first obvious thing everyone on the call wanted to know was why the name and how did it come about. Howe also commented just a bit on how the new name is so closely related to another popular website, SCYFY Portal. “…we’ve been doing - we’ve been actively working on this brand evolution for the last two years. And we’ve explored a lot of name options. And I think at the point at which there are any short list of names the first thing we do obviously is look at the URLs and look at whether any of the names are trademark protectable. And I think once we looked at alternative names and we also looked at whether there was a way of taking ownership of our existing name through, you know, an addition of extra letters or changing the order of the letters I think once we settled on Syfy it became apparent to us that, you know, the Syfy Portal existed. And, you know, we haven’t, you know, we haven’t not commented on that directly. And that’s a point of fact that Syfy Portal is now (off our analog).”“I think the honest answer to that actually is that we didn’t come up with a name that we liked any better than what we’ve gone with which was Syfy. Naming is an incredibly tough exercise. And, you know, I’ve been at SciFi for eight years, I’ve been in the TV business, you know, a marketing head for about 20 years. And trust me, the hardest and toughest thing to ever get to is a name that everybody likes; it’s incredibly subjective. It’s never going to solve all of life’s problems for you. There will always be things that it does communicate, things that it doesn’t communicate. But at the end of the day, you know, as you rightly said, people watch content, people watch shows. And, you know, they’re not going to be drawn to something or alienated from something necessarily just because of the name. So, you know, we didn’t come up with a name - a short listed name that we liked. And just to your point about Syfy Portal, the other thing actually which I forgot - the other point which I forgot to make is we were able to secure syfy.com before we even entered into a conversation with Syfy Portal. So although, you know, that name was taken in relation to Syfy Portal, syfy.com was available and we secured that and very early on this process.”In the early days of the SCIFI Channel, Isaac Asimov, a science fiction maven gave his approval to the name of the network. Howe discusses whether Asimov would approve this change in the name: “…“I think what we want to do is move to a position where we can earn, you know the broad sci-fi fantasy landscape and include in there fantasy and paranormal and supernatural and super hero and, you know, some of those speculative action and adventure. I think that’s absolutely the object of this exercise so it’s about how do we embrace the broader sci-fi fantasy landscape as opposed to how do we escape from our past? That isn’t the object of this exercise.”“…if you look at - if you look at the range and diversity of our programming on air, you know, we still have Star Trek on air, we have still have Battlestar Galactica and Stargate Atlantis 1-5 dvd , soon to become Stargate Universe.”“But alongside that there’s Eureka, you know, we’re launching Warehouse 13, somebody earlier mentioned Chase, Estate of Panic, you know, Who Wants to be a Superhero. You know, we have a very broad range of content and the challenge that we have is if you talk to consumers who don’t watch our channel the expectation and the anticipation around when they do surf up the dials to SciFi is that all they’ll find there is Star Trek.”“And clearly that isn’t something from a branding perspective and from a future perspective that enables us to do what we want to do which is becoming inclusive and bring more people in who we know will enjoy a broader range of shows and hopefully we can kind of cross sell and cross promote and cross convert to other shows once they come to us.”“But the challenge for us is if they don’t think that space opera is for them then they’re not going to come.”Next ,Howe quite defensively discusses all of the negativity online regarding the name change. He makes the obvious comment that people just hate change but he uses a valid reference:“Yes, we are tracking it. And, you know, we’re reading all of the message boards and Twitter and we’ve got people basically monitoring it all. And, you know, I get like a summary of what people are saying. And I’m not, you know, I’m not surprised at all by the comments that we’re hearing. I mean I think the, you know, the points I would make is that none of us particularly like change; none of us like the idea of a new name.”“I mean a lot of new names out there were not particularly well received when they were announced. I mean, Nintendo Wii was not exactly great and Tivo and all the rest of those names. I think the reason that we wanted to do this conference call today is because the thing that - the thing that I want to say directly and I think I want to really reinforce and really emphasize and the thing that disturbs me most about some of the comments, but if I’m honest didn’t really surprise me, is that this is not about abandoning our past, this is not about alienating our existing core viewers because frankly, you know, we are still the sci-fi fantasy channel and we’ll continue to be so.”“And this is absolutely about embracing our heritage and embracing our future and figuring out how we can bring even more people into the camp. And, you know, the, you know, the thing that I think disturbs us most was people, you know, as we expected saying well this is just another, you know, opportunity to put more (ECW) on our air or this is another opportunity to do even more reality.”“That isn’t true. And, you know, recent announcements, you know, we picked up Caprica, we’re bringing in Caprica and it’ll launch in the New Year. We picked up Stargate Universe, you know, the next exciting chapter of, you know, the longest running space opera I think in, you know, TV history.”“You know, this isn’t about, you know, retrenching, this is about absolutely embracing the totality of not just our core audience but actually a new audience in the future.”“And actually the other point I would make is when we - which was actually very entertaining is when - of course when we announced that we were reimagining Battlestar Galactica that was not expected (greeted) with delight by the fans. And, you know, we get that.”“I think what it does do and actually in all that testing we were sort of surprised and actually it confirmed what we wanted to do here just this new name makes more sense of our existing range of programming. It makes more sense if you put this brand on a Ghost Hunters or a Destination Truth or Eureka because it doesn’t - because it doesn’t scream so loudly the science fiction genre it makes more sense for me, you know, a program range perspective.”“So we were very excited to hear that. So, you know, we do think it sort of gives us, you know, the best of both worlds. It gives us - it keeps our heritage and it enables us to broaden and become more inclusive and create a sense that this is a unique brand name that you can expect a broader range of, you know, what we’re calling imagination-based entertainment which is going to be everything from, you know, Caprica and Stargate Universe to Warehouse 13 to Eureka, you know, to the kind of broad fun human relatable aspect of the genre that, you know, we really want to embrace.”The process, having taken over two years seems to have been fairly arduous. Howe shares some of the thought and process that went behind picking SyFy as the new brand:“… we did think maybe we’ll do this at Comic-Con actually with a fun panel. We might share the short list of names. I mean I think the conversation that we’re having today and the, you know, the feeding frenzy in the chat rooms and online etcetera would probably be considerably greater if we changed the name completely if I’m honest.”“But naming is incredibly difficult. And, you know, if you think of, you know, if you look at brands that launch now on the whole new brands have to have a name which is completely made up so it will be a word that you’ve never seen before.”“You know, you see this particularly, you know, with drugs, you look at a name like, you know, Celebrex or Viagra or Cialis, any of these drugs you have to invent a word that doesn’t exist and you have to do that because clearly it’s incredibly critical for you to secure the URL.”“So any real word is going to be completely ruled out from the trademark perspective not just in the US but probably anywhere in the world and from a URL perspective. So straight away you’re confined by having to invent a word.”“So that’s the first challenge and then once you’ve invented a bunch of words, you know, what you have to look at is the pros and cons of that word. So, you know, the word may communicate something which you think is good but then it may communicate something which is kind of less good or is misleading or takes you in a direction that you don’t want to go in or ultimately takes you back to where you were.”“And in lots of respects some of the short listed names that we came up with actually didn’t really move us any further forward than where we are now with Syfy.”“And, you know, there’s something which - there’s something about the letter form in particular that we believe and we’ve had this confirmed in our testing makes the logo very accessible and relatable, the symmetry of it, the letter forms of the two Ys together with the S and F which are very rounded.”“We actually see that yes there is a word; yes you could argue it’s a misspelled SciFi but actually it’s a new word. It’s a new word and actually it’s a logo in itself. Part of the exercise that we went through is we wanted obviously to let go of the Saturn logo but actually to do that we needed to have a letter form which in and of itself from a design perspective was unique and brandable and trademark ownable.”“I think the - it’s a word that no one’s seen before. I think, you know, smart people who know sci-fi get it; people who don’t just look at it and think actually it’s kind of interesting, it’s cool and contemporary. You know, a lot of people in the testing kind of said well if I was going to text sci-fi that’s how I’d spell it.”“So it delivers quite a lot of things that, you know, we like and we think will be, you know, quite powerful in the future. Just actually to give you an example of a name that actually we did test and I can tell you what this name is because this was a name that is not trademarkable and there’s no way we would have got the URL or even been able to trademark it I think in any territory and that’s a name - the other name that we put into testing was Beyond.”“So I think we tested three things: We tested - initially and this has been going on for maybe a year we tested SFC, which is the obvious contraction from SciFi Channel which has been knocking around for probably 10 years. And that’s what a lot of other networks have done, TNN, TNT, CNN; all of those are contractions - TLC - all of those are contractions of longer names. We tested that.”“We tested where we are now. We tested Syfy and we tested Beyond. And what was interesting about Beyond is to the point I was making earlier, it solved some of the problems; it doesn’t solve all of them. So Beyond did create a sense of well it’s about the future, it’s about something which is, you know, far and away beyond me and over my head. And maybe not something that I could relate to that, you know, connected with my life as it is now.”“So you can, you know, just in that example alone you can see some of the complexities and some of the challenges of any naming exercise which is why, you know, having a made up name which Syfy is, is more open and enables you to kind of give it the perceptions and the kind of values that you want it to have as opposed to a real word that comes with its own, you know, set of expectations based on the meaning of that word.”As far as future expansion of the network the obvious direction, due to the success of sites like Hulu, is to begin crafting more product for the internet. Dave discusses a bit of their web strategy:“…when the economics are there we really do want to embrace Webisodes. I mean we’ve done two rounds of Battlestar, I think we did some early Eureka - three rounds of Battlestar - somebody is holding up three fingers at me.”“This is absolutely something we want to do more of. And I think as we figure out how to monetize our digital sites and figure out how to produce scripted shows in particular because as you can imagine, you know, they’re extremely expensive to produce this kind of stuff. That’s something that we absolutely want to do more of.”The network is even looking into doing some completely original web show: “…we have under (Craig Engler) we have a bunch of TV series in development so (Craig) works very closely with (Mark Stern) who runs our on air development team over in LA. And yes every - literally every single pitch that comes in we work on. Sometimes we take TV pitches and actually have kind of moved them over to the digital development team because we think actually they might be a better place to start to kind of germinate the idea online and then cross over to (either) back to TV.”“But I think, you know, the - what we want to get to in the future and that’s part of this rebrand is how do we become more platform-agnostic because to us, you know, the TV screen is clearly important but, you know, in this day and age a screen is a screen is a screen. And I think certainly with convergence and, you know, with the fact that you can watch TV series on Xbox and Playstation and all the rest of it the notion of a TV show is somewhat anachronistic.”“I think, you know, we need to get to a point where we create things - stories and characters and intellectual property that can start on any platform and migrate to another.”Last year, the network announced that they were working with a gaming company to launch a television series simultaneously with an MMORPG. The game would influence the show and vice versa so subscribers to the game might actually have some influence on the TV series. This sounded like it could be the ultimate in interactive TV or something that could completely implode. Either way, I was excited for the show, then everything went quiet. Dave actually offers some updates on this project. He says they are looking at a launch window of late 2010 or 2011.“We’ve hired a writer. We’re getting dangerously close to announcing a title. And they’re at the script development stage in terms of the TV pilot.”“So I think within two, three months we’ll announce some pretty exciting stuff about, you know, the setting and some of the characters. But obviously the game - and you will know this, you know, MMOG games are incredibly deep and incredibly expansive.”“So, you know, they need to start work on it, you know, two, three years out in order to create that sort of incredibly rich world. And that’s kind of what they’ve been working on. So alongside that, you know, we have to kind of figure out how to create some of the core elements of that game and turn them into a TV series. So it’s a - no one’s really attempted this before so it’s really quite exciting watching it unfold.”So, there you have it, straightforward and open as always Dave Howe is working hard to try and sell this new brand to everyone, hardcore fans and mainstream viewers alike. This conversation reveals that he network does still plan to do offbeat and science fiction related programming. As long as we get something like Eureka rather than another Law and Order or CSI, it’s hard to complain. Maybe this rebranding means some horror shows and fantasy shows will appear on the network. If so, that’s a good thing. I honestly always wondered why Legend of the Seeker didn’t end up on SCIFI. Now, with this rebranding maybe it could. The scariest part of all of this is the increase in reality shows. Those kinds of series are cheap to make and generally do well with the mainstream audience, the new viewers that the network is hoping to get. In the end if you have three or four shows on the network that you like such as Stargate, Eureka, Sanctuary, and possibly one of the new series and those shows get paid for by some reality programming is that such a bad thing? Only time will tell. It all starts July 7th when the new branding takes over the network. news about Stargate Atlantis 1-5 dvd

Bones 1-4 DVD Gets a 'Toon-Up: Boreanaz and "Stewie" Talk Smack

As Bones' Booth ponders becoming a family man, he'll get a visit from Family Guy's Stewie, in a "crossover" episode slated to air May 7.
The set-up for this unusual merger of genres: When Bones' Brennan asks Booth to father her a child, the normally nonplussed federal agent becomes consumed by the prospect of procreating. That, coupled with an undiagnosed health issue Booth is suffering from, sets the stage for a visit from diabolical Stewie, who tenders advice to the prospective pop.
Asked about his Bones 1-5 DVD drop-by, Stewie said in a statement, "Oh, have you seen it? Was I good? Because I heard they said I was amazing and they want me to replace Emily [Deschanel]. But that's just a rumor."
Boreanaz, in turn, says that Bones' wisecracking guest star "was good during the actual scenes ... but between takes he literally vanished — nowhere to be seen.
"I guess it's true that Brits and cartoons tend to be standoffish," adds Boreanaz. "Or maybe it was a Method thing, I don't know."
What's your honest take, Bones 1-5 DVD backers, on this super-strange crossover?

Stargate: The Ark of Truth Comes to SCI FI

if you never bought the DVD, you’ll now have a chance to see Stargate: The Ark of Truth on TV for free. Continuing where Stargate SG-1 left off, this feature film has the whole gang back and searching for an ancient weapon which could help them defeat the sinister Ori force. But hey, you know it can’t be that easy, right?The new movie stars Amanda Tapping as Lt. Col. Samantha Carter, Christopher Judge as Teal’C, Ben Browder as Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell, Claudia Black as Vala Mal Doran, and Michael Shanks as Dr. Daniel Jackson. Also look for Firefly’s Morena Baccarin.I reviewed this DVD when it was first released a year ago and I enjoyed it mostly for the great production values. I’m more of an Stargate Atlantis 1-5 fan than an SG-1 fan but I found myself caught up in the story and the action and the soundtrack which is spectacular. If you decide to go back and read my review, be aware that some people found it a tad spoilerish. If that doesn’t bother you, you’ll also find a fan’s extensive review in the comment section. Stargate: The Ark of Truth airs on Friday, March 27 on SCI FI Channel

Robert Carlyle's New 'Universe'

The great Scottish actor Robert Carlyle was standing more or less by himself at the party after Sci Fi Channel’s upfront song and dance last week (March 16). I’m a fan of many of his projects - Hamish Macbeth; Begbie in Trainspotting; The Full Monty and his early, epic U.K. TV appearance as a football fan turned deranged killer in Robbie Coltrane’s Cracker.
I’m also a Stargate follower, still slightly shocked Carlyle was cast in Stargate Atlantis 1-5 dvd, the next series in the franchise, now in production in Vancouver.
Last Friday, Sci Fi aired a 30-second promo for SGU during the finale of Battlestar Galactica. A boyish-looking Carlyle is seen a couple of times, seeming quite concerned (and looking a bit guilty) amid screaming chaos. Other people’s voices are heard saying “we’re not supposed to be here” and “there’s not a chance in hell that we’re going to be able to escape this” and “we’re all going to die out here.”
You can also pick out Lou Diamond Phillips. Otherwise it’s very imagistic, a darkened room filled with panicked people, lit by the blue glow of a stargate’s event horizon. (A shimmering puddle.)
I asked Carlyle about his character and the show and how it was all going.
He said the producers hope to keep the core audiences of Stargate: SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis 1-5 dvd and introduce them to “something different.”
Something a bit more of a “character piece,” in his words.
Caution to readers:
There are a couple of plot spoilers ahead.
Skip past the next, asterisked-off section to avoid reading them.
Thanks.

The Stargate franchise - which teams MGM with “powers that be” Brad Wright and Robert C. Cooper - is a TV- and movie-making machine. Two made-for-DVD movies that followed Stargate: SG-1’s run will air on Sci Fi Channel on back to back Friday nights: Stargate: Ark of Truth on March 27 and Stargate: Continuum on April 3. Stargate Atlantis 1-5 dvd was canceled after five seasons but an SGA movie is in the works.
“The producers, particularly Brad Wright and Robert Cooper, these guys are the main reason why I’m here,” Carlyle said.“They explained it extremely well when they got in contact with me at first. The first thing I said was: ‘Why do you want me in it?’ The way they put it was very interesting: They said they wanted someone who can ‘make unattractive things seem quite attractive.’ I said: ‘I’m your man.’ ”
Others in the cast include Justin Louis, “who’s another terrific actor,” he continued. “Lou Diamond Phillips is in there as well. David Blue, a good young actor. And there’s a couple of youngsters, a guy called Brian J. Smith, who’s working out extremely well, and a girl called Elyse Levesque, she’s actually from Vancouver, a wonderful young actress, the first thing she’s ever done.”
It’s a nice mix of youth and leadership and trying to fight for survival and leadership aboard this craft for the next 20 episodes.”
The obvious question is: what is Robert Carlyle doing in a Sci Fi Channel series?
“I’m very happy to be here, that’s all I can say,” he said. “I’ve done an awful lot of nitty-gritty type of stuff in my career over the last 15-20 years or so and I felt it was time for a change. I wanted something different. When I came out to Los Angeles about a year ago, I talked to various television people with various ideas. I put it out that I was looking for something that was going to interest me. And I was very fortunate, three or four things came in. This one, for me, was by far and away the best.”
The former Bond villain said he has time during the year to do other projects that come up. There are also lifestyle reasons to be based in Vancouver during production periods. He has three small children - ages 3, 5 and 7 - who live in Glasgow, Scotland, who’ll come over and camp out with us there. It gives me more time to be a dad at the weekend.”
Last plug for the show: Carlyle says within the first hour, you’ll be hooked.

After 'Battlestar Galactica,' what's on the sci-fi TV horizon? Where do we go from here?

After a long and winding space-road full of apocalypse, revelation, and stuff blowing up real good, Friday night saw the series finale of Battlestar Galactica. Regardless of what you thought of BSG's last episode -- you can peep my take here, as well as scores of reader comments -- one thing I think we all can agree on is that with Galactica's passing we've crossed a threshold. Televised science fiction will never be the same. As they said when the soldiers were returning from Europe after the end of WWII, How you gonna keep 'em down on the farm once they've seen Paree?
How are we supposed to take shows like Knight Rider and Heroes seriously now that we've lived through the idiosyncratic brilliance that was Ronald D. Moore's Battlestar Galactica? Where do we go from here?
addCredit("Carole Segal/SyFy")
The Sci Fi Channel (and, no, I'm not calling it Syfy...Prince will always be Prince, Sci Fi will always be Sci Fi) would have us fill the void with two Battlestar-y offerings: a two-hour BSG TV movie called The Plan (which'll tell of the Cylon holocaust from the Cylon point of view) and Caprica (a prequel, starring Esai Morales and Eric Stoltz, about the creation of the first Cylons). And they're hatching some new series, including Warehouse 13 -- sort of Eureka meets X-Files at a party held in the cavernous storage facility at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark -- the new Stargate Atlantis 1-5 , and a just-announced show loosely based on Alice in Wonderland.
But where's the next Battlestar Galactica going to come from? In a television landscape where Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Dollhouse are withering on the vine, where the most watched shows feature celebrities dancing, or would-be celebrities singing, or gruff-looking men and women poking at dead bodies, who is going to step up and give us science fiction with the power to move us with its characters, provoke us with its writing, awe us with its spectacle? Will it be Caprica? ABC's new take on V? Something that AMC hasn't announced yet, but will sit alongside Mad Men and Breaking Bad in the annals of quality TV?
As the sun sets on Galactica, that old maxim rings true: It is darkest before the dawn. I just wanna know who's gonna turn on the light. stargate atlantis 1-5

First Preview of Stargate Universe

Just released - check out this new trailer of Stargate Universe. The new series to air this fall on Sci Fi Channel, begins with a team of scientists and military personnel evacuating to an uninhabited ship named Destiny created millions of years ago by the Ancients and set on a preprogrammed unalterable course through various galaxies. Almost all the main characters can be seen in this just released trailer. The big difference between the new series and SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis 1-5 is that this one will be less about alien interaction and more about human endurance. Stargate atlantis 1-5 will take on a dark and dangerous tone with the new tagline “The only mission is survival.” Nearly all of the main characters are in this quick-cut video. Robert Carlyle’s Dr. Nicholas Rush is right up front, but also watch for shots of Chloe Armstrong (Elyse Levesque), Matthew Scott (Brian J. Smith), Eli Wallace (David Blue), Everett Young (Justin Louis), Tamara Johansen (Alaina Huffman), and Colonel Telford (Lou Diamond Phillips).

'Bones' recap: Booth gets serious, Hodgins gets ripped!

bones seasons 1-4 dvd

I know we all like Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) because he's charming and goofy, but, honestly, he's never sexier to me than when he's talking seriously about what it means to be a man. Last night's episode was very interesting both in terms of the case at hand -- an alleged teen pregnancy pact that resulted with a dead girl in a winter salt truck -- and for how it could factor into two upcoming storylines that Michael Ausiello's already SPOILED (Brennan asks Booth to father her child, Booth has a major illness)...
I'm beginning to wonder if bad jokes are a symptom of whatever medical crisis Booth experiences later this season. Did he really say that he was getting a potato chip craving when they found that girl in the mound of salt? Ewww. Said girl was quickly ID'd as a missing high school volleyball player, and the hormones in her blood revealed that she was pregnant. Her mother (Caroline in the City's Amy Pietz, who just guest-starred on TNT's Trust Me -- good for her), refused to believe that her good little girl was sexually active, but dad had seen a pregnancy test and guessed as much. The writers toyed briefly with the usual suspects: The ex-boyfriend (only he's a good Christian); the pregnant ex-best friend, played by Monique Coleman, who also dated the ex-boyfriend (only they would've made up); the father (no incest here); the strict mother (she didn't know the girl was pregnant, she just knew that she'd tried to forge a $5,000 check from her); and the volleyball coach (he reported the girl's attempt to extort $5,000 from him). I thought maybe it would've been the volleyball team's alpha female, a girl who'd been the class valedictorian and student body president until she got pregnant -- but no, she just allowed half her teammates to think it was a great idea for them to get pregnant, too, so they could buy a house together (in this market? good luck!) and raise their babies together.
I've never spent much time thinking about what would motivate a teen pregnancy pact -- because it's just so unthinkable to me -- so I can't speak to how unique the show's theory was. I guess we're supposed to believe that like the alpha female, the other girls were under so much pressure from their parents to succeed and follow a certain path that they just wanted their roads to end. You can give up dreams and ambitions if they're not actually yours. As Brennan said, these girls are being raised in a society that tells you half of all marriages end in divorce, you can't count on a man. You count on your friends; they'll never leave you. I like that concept (as a plot device, I mean) more than I would the idea that these girls got themselves pregnant just because the most popular girl in school did. Each of the girls had to come up with $5,000, and the victim was killed when she seduced her chiropractor and threatened him with statutory rape if he didn't give her the money.
addCredit("Mark Lipson/Fox")
It turns out the same schlubby kid, Clinton, got the alpha female, the victim, her ex-best friend, and a fourth girl pregnant. He'd comforted the alpha one night when her parents overwhelmed her, but he didn't want to help raise the baby. In other words, he was no Randall Batinkoff in the 1988 Molly Ringwald classic For Keeps. (LOVED that movie.) But that made him the perfect sperm donor for the other girls who didn't have boyfriends that would put out. It's unfathomable to me that a 16-year-old in today's world wouldn't get that he had fathered four children until Booth pointed it out to him, showing him pictures of the girls, telling him that anyone of them could change her mind and ask him for child support -- except for the victim, who was killed along with his son. (I guess it had to be a son to make a kid that would use girls like that care, huh?) Where was this boy's father? Why wasn't he the one telling him what defines you as a man? I guess maybe he, like bench-pressing Booth at first, refused to believe that his boy was the "Mac Daddy Baby Daddy." Regardless, as I said at the start of the recap, it was nice (and sexy) to see Booth get serious for a change. To be commanding, protective, and nurturing at all once. His conversation with Clinton -- which made Brennan swoon, if that's possible -- made me think that there's no way he'd father a baby for Brennan unless he was going to commit to her. I can see her thinking to ask him (if you believe that she's actually ready to have a baby -- which I don't), but how does she honestly expect him to say yes? Unless maybe she thinks he's going to die, and she convinces him that another piece of him besides Parker should live on, and that it should be with her because his personality completes hers...
We could ponder that plot twist (and whether Booth's sudden visits to the vending machine are a symptom of the mystery illness -- god, I hope not!), but let's get back to this episode. Back at the lab, Brennan was breaking in a new assistant, Arastoo, and learning about religious tolerance in the workplace. Loved the classic Brennan defense that she wasn't prejudice against Muslims -- she finds all religions equally irrational. After so many episodes where Brennan was more than happy to be in the field, it was almost weird to see her back in the lab, acting sooo competitive with Cam. It was, however, cool for long-time fans to see Brennan attempt to use one of the "freebies" she negotiated when Cam was first hired. She wanted access to the bones before Cam was ready to part with them. It was also rewarding to see an example of why Cam is actually the boss at the Jeffersonian -- she was smart enough to figure out how to rehydrate the body, which made the assistant have to find some way to get an image of the skeleton while the skin was still on it, which revealed some mark on some nerve that the chiropractor would've known to strike to cause cardiac arrest. I really didn't understand half the words that were spoken in the lab last night, but that's how I like it. Be smarter than me. Please.
Of course, the other big development last night was Hodgins' upper body. Damn! Roxy broke up with Angela because Angela wasn't ready to live together even though she wanted them to get a puppy. Okay. So Roxy (not blonde before, right?) gave Angela some line about how Angela lives for the moment, and sadly, this moment has passed. I really thought Hodgins meant it when he said he was taking Angela for coffee, but they ended up in their old Egyptian haunt, in bed, where we saw the shirtless, ripped Hodgins. Obviously, they can't stay together because Angela doesn't think about the future -- EXCEPT FOR THAT TIME WHEN SHE WAS TOTALLY READY TO MARRY HODGINS. I think this Angela-can't-commit storyline is kinda bullcrap. She was past these issues before her ex-husband showed up and ruined everything but Cam's night. But it did yield some nice moments, like Brennan and Angela having what could be their first lunch together, ever, and Angela being horrified that Brennan approves of how she operates her love life. And, my new favorite pairing, Angela opening up to Sweets as they went undercover as a married couple to find the chiropractor's murder weapon. He told her she needs to give up sex for six months and start to relate to people in a way that's not carnal. This could be very fun. I'd love to see a sexually-frustrated Angela come on to Booth, or Sweets (what? he looked good in that T-shirt when he was getting his back cracked). Maybe she could just kiss Sweets one night when she's drunk. That would be enough to make me happy.
So what did you think of last night's episode? How do you hope the Brennan-wants-a-baby and Booth-has-an-illness storylines will be introduced and play out? Do you want Angela and Hodgins back together now, or would you like to see her accept Sweets' celibacy challenge? How lame was that "Bones Break"? (This show is known for having awesome blooper reels, but those ones weren't funny.) Why do you think Brennan is huffing and puffing like a spoiled child in the lab now? And what was your favorite song on the melancholy mix CD empathetic Arastoo made for Angela? (I'm off to find my Mazzy Star album now.)

Bones 1-4 DVD
A scaled-back search for skeletal remains continued Tuesday in the bed of the Santa Cruz River just south of the Overton Road Bridge in Marana.

About 12 Marana police officers and two cadaver dogs searched throughout the day Monday, finding 18 bones1-4 dvd, including a skull, a lower jaw with all its teeth and five teeth from the upper jaw, said Sgt. Bill Derfus.
Officers said the person's race or ethnicity, gender and age could not be determined, but police are hoping dental comparisons or DNA will lead to an identification.

Derfus said Tuesday the remains, the first of which were found Sunday night, also could be those of a transient or an illegal immigrant.
Six searchers and three cadaver dogs, specially trained to find human remains, searched the riverbed Tuesday, Derfus said.
Sgt. Tim Brunenkant said the remains were found about 8:15 p.m. Sunday by 12- and 18-year-old sisters walking their dogs in the riverbed.
Brunenkant said the girls' dogs dug something up in the riverbed and when the girls went to look, they found a skull. The girls ran home and called police, Brunenkant said.

New details on SGU’s ‘Earth’
Beware of SPOILERS for Stargate Universe’s “Earth” in the report below.
Brand new details have surfaced on “Earth,” the sixth episode of Stargate Universe’s premiere season! It turns out that that title is not just an element (like “Air,” “Fire” and “Water”) — it’s also the name of a planet.
“Earth” brings some members of the new crew of the Destiny back home — or at least their consciences. As previously reported, an Ancient communications terminal discovered on board allows people on the ship to communicate with Earth from another galaxy, by swapping bodies with someone on Earth.
Guest characters in this episode include Dale Storm, Williams, and O’Neill. It is not known — but certainly possible — if this last character is a guest appearance by General Jack O’Neill (Richard Dean Anderson).
Storm is an I.O.A. representative who meets with Camille Wray (who is one of those stuck on the Destiny, played by Ming Na) in Washington, D.C. Wray knows that she has been I.O.A. middle management at best, and now she’s in a position that is very valuable to the organization — which seeks power and control of the Destiny and all that it represents. They’re counting on Wray to play ball, and she knows it.
Colonel Young (Justin Louis) also appears to be on Earth, meeting with Williams and O’Neill about a potentially dangerous plan.
“Earth” is written by former Stargate Atlantis Seasons 1-5 DVD Boxset writer/producer Martin Gero, and will go before cameras in a few weeks. As always, these details are subject to change as the episode goes through the production pipe.
Stick with GateWorld’s Stargate Universe Launch Center for more on the new series as we count down to the October premiere!
