Gatecast 199 SGA Duet

Oct 192013

A visit to a known inhabited world once again reveals the Wraith have decimated the local population and quite recently, while returning to the Stargate a lone dart arrives and beams up McKay and Lt Cadman.
John with no option orders the ship destroyed and luckily the hull remains pretty much intact and it is possible to access one of the the stored patterns, McKay is beamed out and they hope with his talents along with the science personnel in the city they will be able to retrieve Cadman. Of course nothing is that easy and when McKay awakes he is shocked to discover that he is sharing his mind with the consciousness of Lt Laura Cadman and once they convince Carson of this fact no end of fun and games ensue including a date for Mckay with Dr Katie Brown with Carson in tow, three bodies and four minds, oh the fun that could be had.

Plenty to go around

Duet was written by Martin Gero and introduced Dr Brown and Lt Cadman, both characters especially Cadman should have had more time on the show but both added greatly to the stories and regular cast arcs the show was offering at the time. No apologies were made in regards to paying homage to the Steve Martin movie “All of Me” and David was really allowed to go to town playing the two people inhabiting the one body helped to a huge extent by having Jaime on the set to read her lines and show how she would react to the everyday events. We also got some great back and forth between McKay and his science team and the “b” story with Ronon was entertaining as well, everyone loves the gun range scene. Nothing really needs to be said about the smooch:)

Don’t say a word

We welcome Adam for his first appearance on the podcast, he lives in the US and once again we had to juggle time zones but we got it all recorded and I think we all had a good time. Thanks for the feedback on Facebook and the chat on twitter, Stargate is all the more better for the community it has generated around itself. The fourth and final question for our 200th episode competition is in the episode so email in the answer and any of the previous answers to the first three questions if you haven’t done so. The drawing will be done next week and announced in the 200th episode which will be the Stargate SG1 “The Powers That Be” which Brad joined us for.

Gatecast 175 SG1 Prometheus Unbound

Episodes No Responses »

Apr 202013

General Hammond takes command of the Prometheus on a mission to Pegasus to discover the fate of the Atlantis expedition who have now been out of contact far longer than they would have preferred. Hammond overrides Jack’s objections and takes Daniel and Walter on the mission and before they even leave the Milky Way galaxy they find two damaged Gouald ships. It is of course a trap and the Prometheus is taken over by a single Kull warrior with the crew stranded on the damaged ships as the Prometheus with Daniel on board flies away. The mystery is revealed when the warrior turns out to be a young woman named Vala Mal Doran who is stealing the ship to help her people but a now imprisoned Daniel soon learns that Vala says a lot of things that are not entirely true. Prometheus Unbound is a wonderful episode, it was initially designed as a bottle show to save some money using a small cast and the standing sets but the production was getting such good results extra money was provided to create the CGI which really added the icing to the story. The introduction of Vala and the casting of Claudia Black was inspired even if she had just been a one off character but we know she returns to work her wicked ways on Daniel and later to grace the SGC.

Suits you Sir

Once again it was great to see Don S. Davis return as Hammond and yes again as a guest star he seems to be getting better roles which allows him to push his character, great chemistry as always. Huge praise to Claudia who only worked on the episode for three days (flew from Australia) who grabbed the role and made it her own including adding her own little touches and while Novak ( Ellie Harvie ) seemed a strange role it all worked out ok.

The Dynamic Duo

Jeff joined us for this weeks show and I think we all had a good time with a great episode, next week we are going to be covering the Stargate Atlantis episode Hot Zone so we hope you join us for that and if possible send us some feedback. We got a little from our Facebook group this week as well as an itunes review from our friend Michael Clark the host of the Star Trek podcasts The Holodeck and Ten Forward. This weeks promo is from Pulp Audio Weekly which is a bunch of guys talking geek about games, movies, tv and many other things with a lot of humour, they recently had a 3 part Game of Thrones tv retrospective.
