Space Milkshake the scifi comedy movie has finally got some Canadian air dates on The Movie Network this month, linear broadcasts start on the eighth with Demand options from the twelfth.
A fantastic cast and I think we’ve all been patiently waiting to see the movie broadcast on television after hearing good things from those who have seen the theatrical screenings.
A couple of television spots for Stargate alumni this week on shows broadcast in the states. Up first we have Mr Woolsey himself Robert Picardo who played Jason Cooper in The Mentalist episode “The Red Barn” and then we have Jacqueline Samuda who played a TV anchor woman in the episode “Burned” from Arrow. Kudos to Jeff for spotting Jacqueline, it’s been a while since we saw her playing the Gou’ald Nirti.
A Very Happy Birthday on Jan 29th to Bobbie Phillips. She played Kynthia in the Stargate SG1 episode Brief Candle and she bewitched and tempted poor old Jack, she ‘s also appeared in Murder One, Seven Days, Showgirls and The Watcher.

Stargate Birthdays – January 27th
Birthday Best wishes to the following three actors who have guest starred on Stargate.
Tamlyn Tomita played Shen Xiaoyi in two episodes of Stargate SG1 and two episodes of Atlantis,she also appeared in Eureka and Glee. Chris Gauthier played Mattas in the Stargate Atlantis episode Trinity as well as appearing as Hertis in The Ark of Truth and guest starred in both Eureka and Smallville. Last but not least is Hrothgar Mathews who played Dr Hamilton in the Stargate SG1 episode Prodigy and had guest spots on The X-Files and more recently Fringe.
Chuck Campbell who had a long standing role in Stargate Atlantis as Chuck the Technician and a recurring role in Sanctuary shared the lead (alongside Adrian Paul) in the UFO production Syfy Saturday feature Abominable Snowman which aired last night in the states, no date for a UK Syfy broadcast.
The virtual reality chair from the planet of the Gamekeeper has been developed to provide a total immersion combat simulator for SGC personnel but when given to Tealc to test he is unimpressed, it’s all too easy to defeat so it is back to the drawing board and the programme is tweaked and it becomes all too real to such an extent that the computer believes he would never surrender and thus he can never leave the game until all the enemies are defeated.
Yes we’ve all had games like that, they get deleted pretty quickly.
We’ve got to say that the stunt teams, pyro and weapon masters really went to town in this episode, the action is fast and furious with everything looking spectacular, no short changing with CGI bullets etc in this show. Teal’c motivations and inner doubts are exploited and examined which does beg the question when he truly believed that the Jaffa could over come their Lords, quite late in the game it seems at least according to the computer when keeps racking up the bad guys with Kull, Gou’ald and even mixing in cloaking tech and infiltration. It’s also entertaining to see Teal’c getting killed in many many ways but also the rest of SG1 and the SGC getting mowed down sometimes very cheaply. Bill Dow had a good role in the episode as the harried Dr Lee and a good guest spot for Andrew Airlie playing a specialist brought in to over see Teal’c as his mind and body are put through the shredder.
Some days you should have stayed in bed.
Behind You!!!
We did have some audio issues this week, the raw wav file was missing some of it’s left channel which meant filling gaps with a lower quality mp3 and new audio, hope it’s not too bad for you all.
