h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

My friends next door at the SG-1 studio told me today that they are already planning the spin-off. It will be called Star Gate Atlantis and will take place primarily underwater on a non-terrestial planet.

You all probably know all about it, but just in case, my

oh, I just saw this... thanks, and yes we had heard this, but so far only rumours and so on.

Any juicy gossip and info would be excellent.

It's just what I hear through the fence, but now that the weather is better we are all outside a lot. I will try to keep you informed.

you are, indeed, a babe of the highest order
to you too

This *babe* has a beard.

and do we care about that?

I think not!

beard or not, you're still a babe...

or what other title would you prefer?

oh, and you get this too

I got to cover the 200th episode party for ET Canada last week. Any questions?

Whats worth asking?

A blue icing cake about a metre square with a picture of the Stargate on it was served, the whole thing happened on the Stargate set on the ramp to the gate- with most of the media in the control room. Anderson said contrary to popular belief he liked Vancouver and the producers said one of the reasons they were such a success (two more shows to beat X-Files record number of shows) was because of the Canadian crew (they're Canadian as well). Everyone joked around a lot but it was revealed that Michael Shanks was the biggest practical joker followed closely by Christopher Judge. Amanda Tapping said in the interview I did that all the joking around and the family feeling made it easy for the writers to write for the show and for the cast to get along for so long.

That's about it.

ooooh thanks for sharing!

Oh, and one of the jokes was leaving a chocolate bar in the toilet bowl of Christopher Judge's location trailer while he was on set.

Sounds a bit like what happened with Firefly, the cast and crew have such a good time the series makes itself...
