Well there was a bumper turn out of former Stargate actors on the Motive episode “Nobody Lives Forever” which aired on CTV on May the 8th. Along with the series star Louis Ferreira and recurring second season character Samantha Turner played by Laura Mennell we had guest appearances by Alex Zahara, Michael Kopsa, Ona Grauer and Barbara Kottmeier. The episode was nice and twisty with motives for quite a few people and as usual many of the characters are not that sympathetic, everyone is guilty of something:)

Well after some rumours late last year it has been confirmed that MGM and Warner Brothers have green light a potential trilogy of movies rebooting the original Stargate theatrical feature. Once again Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin will be directing and producing respectively and I assume sharing the writing of the movie although adding new blood for a reboot would make some sense if nothing else to reflect today’s scifi market. Time will tell if MGM are looking to match the best of Disney, Fox and Sony in terms of big budget investment or they are looking at a solid middle ground which despite a $100 million price tag at least gives a movie a very good chance of recouping it’s investment in the global market.
A Stargate Reboot a good or bad thing?

Noah Danby plays Zachary Cain in the Canadian produced drama Bitten, the show is based on the novels by Kelley Armstrong and takes a more mature look at the current werewolf genre.
Mike Dopud guest starred on Motive in the recent episode “Dead End” as Michael Boxton, Mike seems to be keeping himself busy appearing on many of the shows I watch on a regular basis.

The Mentalist is one of those shows you either love or hate but either way they do every now and again get a mighty fine guest star and in the episode “Il Tavolo Bianco” which aired on May 4th (CBS) they had Tony Amendola playing the part of the restaurant owner Aurelio. Tony has also recently appeared on Once Upon A Time and Continuum but for us he was the blueprint for the Jaffa with integrity and honour when playing on SG1 as Bra’tac.

I had an hour to kill tonight so picked out an episode of Motive from the second season I hadn’t seen it, the episode was called “Overboard” and yes I immediately thought of Kurt Russell and Goldie in the bikini but hey that’s just me:) This story involved the murder of the wife of a wealthy online gambling business owner but as is the style of the show we know who the victim and the murderer are straight away and the entertainment is watching the detectives figure out why the events happened as they did. In Overboard we had two former Stargate actors taking leading guest starring roles, the first Niall Matter who played Damian Cutter and the second Julie McNiven who was Meredith Taylor and both roles had a lot of screen time. Niall has starred in Primeval New World and had a long running recurring lead role on Eureka and made a couple of guest appearances on Stargate Atlantis in the episodes Be All My Sins Remember’d and Tabula Rasa playing Lt. Kemp while Julie played the Lucian Alliance scientist Ginn in eight episodes of Stargate Alliance and had recurring roles on Supernatural and Mad Men.
Overboard was an excellent episode of Motive and worth mentioning that Carlos Bernard also appeared, best known perhaps for his stint on 24.
