Stargate Atlantis Set Demolished

In a brief report yesterday the Vancouver Sun said the Stargate Atlantis set at Bridge Studios in Vancouver Canada is being demolished. Bridge Studios was the home of the Stargate franchise scripted series' for most of it's run and of course still is with the upcoming Stargate Universe and the Stargate (SG-1) and Stargate Atlantis direct to DVD films.

From the Sun, "Bridge Studios general manager Ron Hryniuk -- say Her-nik -- isn't sorry to say goodbye to a show that produced some 100 episodes on six of his sound stages, as well as twice that number for the predecessor Stargate SG-1 series. That's because the SCI FI Channel and MGM Television recently announced the launch of a new "science fiction" series called Stargate Universe, saying "Its great news. Fantastic," Hryniuk said of a show that will premiere as a two-hour movie on SCI FI and become a weekly one-hour series next summer".

"In a press release Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis co-creators Brad Wright and Rob Cooper said Stargate Universe "will break new ground in relationships between mostly young and desperate explorers, thrust together and far from home."

'Continuum', Claudia Black, a stunning performace'

Claudia Black, our fantasic Aussie made Claudia!

Not enough credit has been given to this Australian woman and her acting prowess. Ms Black played Vala Mal Doran on the now defunct Stargate SG-1 and signed on to do Stargate Continuum. That performance was stunning, violent, but stunning.

Poor Baal. (Cliff Simon). Mr Simon was in Australia to attend Convention in Adelaide, South Australia a short time back. It is common knowledge the man loves our country and so the script was adjusted for Cliff to give us an Oi. Well done Stuart of Adelaide, SA 5000.

Other stunning performances, Richard Dean Anderson, Ben Browder, Amanda Tapping, Christopher Judge, Michael Shanks, Beau Bridges, Don S Davis, Cliff Simon , and my favourite male actor of all time William Devane as President Henry Hayes.

Music by Joel Goldsmith was wonderful, the piece was written by Brad Wight, produced by Mr Wright and Rob Cooper and directed by the extremely accomplished director Martin Wood
