A very interesting read into the basic economics and the hurdles the much higher budget Stargate movie would have to leap to become a reality in todays market.
I watched the premiere episode “Creeping Tom” of the new Canadian crime drama Motive the other day mainly it has to be said for Louis Ferreira but I also saw Roger R Cross so that’s two former Stargate actors for the price of one in the show:) Motive Official Site
A mist shrouded world may hold the key to gating back to Earth from the Pegasus Galaxy, it’s risky as the one and only control crystal will have to be used but McKay is convinced it will work but then again how often does he doubt his own abilities. When the wormhole is established the SGC reveals that the Prometheus is being fitted with an Asgard hyperdrive engine which will allow a swift return to Atlantis when required so the decision is made to return and report on the expedition and the threat of the Wraith.
Sir!
Home is a well told story with a twist in the tail and on rewatching the clues are all there but how many of us on first viewing picked up on them and realised what was going on, of course the first is the presence of General Hammond, granted as part of homeworld security he has the right to debrief them but alarm bells should have been ringing. The various tales weaving around the core story provide some character development for Weir, Sheppard, Teyla and McKay not so much Ford so even though the episode is standalone we do get something out of it not least the one and only visit to Atlantis for Don S. Davis and Garwin Sanford returning to the Stargate family.
He looks familiar
Next week we are thrown back into the Trust storyline in the SG1 episode “Endgame” with plenty of action and intrigue. This weeks featured promo is from Hexed and as always many thanks for the support, feedback and simple chat on the various social media portals the Gatecast is carried on (Facebook, G+, Twitter, Itunes, Stitcher). We would love to hear from you so by all means make use of the contact forms on this site or any of the listed social sites we are currently using, twitter seems by far to be the most popular means but Facebook is the more verbose as you would expect.
Just wondering if our listeners have a preference to how we handle the upcoming two parter on Stargate Atlantis The Storm and The Eye so here is a quick poll which will run for a week.
A very happy birthday on March the sixth to Victor Garber who was Ambassador Ovirda in the Stargate Universe episode “Seizure” as well as starring in Alias and the current series Deception, he has an impressive movie and tv resume.

I’ve played a little of the game during my lunch break at work on the ipad and allowing for the touch screen and not being a youngster I’ve enjoyed it. Here are a few screenshots taken early on in the first episode of this multipart story.
