Sort of.

Ben Browder joins Stargåte SG-1 cast

This may be an unwise career move, unless he wants to be doing Sci-Fi for the rest of his life.  On the other hand, work is work, and as an SF fan I wouldn't complain...

In a related story, Claudia Black will be there too, but she'll be a guest-star (or possibly recurring character) rather than a regular.  She speaks about that and the PK Wars here.

Apparently she'll "be very interested to see Ben and Micheal Shanks working together." Won't we all.

Re: Its all there in SFX

I do not read SFX, as I cannot bear to throw them away and it leads to piles of them cluttering up my living space. Also I'm failing to watch any SG1 at the moment, I have no idea when it's on. If it's still mondays then I'm busy having a meal...

I understand. Not that I have a pile of SFXs due to be put in the loft or anything... I still subscribe as I'm too lazy to search all the net for the news I'm interested in. Also, I have less oppurtunity with minimal internet access at work and my studies relooming on the horizon. SFX arrives, I read all the stuff I want and then it just sits therer looking shiny. I've actualy taken my latest copy to work to read but often get distracted my tea-room chatter instead.

SG1 is on Tuesdays 8pm, Sky 1. Followed by Atlantis at 9pm. This season (8) of SG1 seems to be lacking something (in my opinion) and its half-way through. At a shaky first few episodes, I can definitely say I enjoy Atlantis. More than SG1 currently. Even this week's somewhat sappy episode was rescued by Rodney McKay's humourous refernces to Capt. Sheppard acting like Capt. Kirk. You'd like McKay - they've developed his character since his couple of guest slots in SG1 and he's definitely the deliver of most of the humour. He's cool (as in actually he's a total geek - a geek icon of anti-cool coolness).

He's cool in a "Jonathan" kind of way.

McKay is nothing like Jonathan.
Jonathan was unconfident, had low self-esteem, was easily manipulated and wasn't particularly good at anything (he was half decent at magic but not great). Also, Jonathan didn't deliver many funny one-liners or comic observations.
McKay is confident to the point of (self-confessed) arrogance. At least in his role as scientist were he is a leading person in his field. Although he is often afeared for his life he is not easily manipulated being too inquistaive and untrusting of others opinions and beliefs (because naturally, he knows better). McKay can deliver funny lines and his humour is wry and sometimes patronising and/or sarcastic.
