Yes, season six, let's send kleenex boxes and write "Thanks for sending more"on it. Perhaps they liked the ones we sent asking for them to continue with a 6th. Six is good & I'm fine if there's no 7. I'd rather have 6 awsome seasons instead of a 7th that may be slapped together like some other shows.
I hate to be the rainy cloud here, but is there confirmation for this? I have heard from "a reliable" source before only for it not to be true. Although I want a sixth season REAL bad, I don't want to invest in false hopes, if you know what I mean. Is there any official online confirmation of this yet?
As far as RDA not wanting to do another season beyond that, I have heard this also. He has a major save the wildlife kinda campaign right now, and is spending a lot of time in S. America I think. Doing that, plus Stargate, plus a family life (which he is very involved in) does get taxing I suppose. However hopefully we can look forward to seeing him doing some of these conservation documenteries on the Discovery channel or something even after Stargate is over. (Yeah I know it's not the same as Jack though.)

RDA
RDA shows through pretty much in every part he does and I think he's knows that and is good at picking parts that this trait will be a benifit.
The one time I'm seen a total 180 degree turnaround was in the movie 'Through the Eyes of a Killer' [1992] and it stopped me in my tracks. I'd had been so used to seeing a bit of the concerned and caring RDA in things that the character he protrays in this piece made me look at him in a totally new light as a actor. He carried it off and had me on the edge of my seat.
If you haven't had a chance to see Rick's movies, I highly encourage folks to go and fine them.
Here they are:
1986 Ordinary Heroes (Tony Kaiser)
1992 In the eyes of a stranger (Jack Rourke)
1992 Though the eyes of a killer (Ray Bellano)
1993 Macgyver: The treasure of Atlantis (Angus Macgyver)
1993 Macgyver: The Trail of Doomsday (Angus Macgyver)
1994 Beyond Betrayal (Bradley Matthews)
1995 Past the bleachers (Bill)
Enjoy!

In Beyond Betrayal (which was filmed in Vancouver in 1996, I think, which makes it around the time Stargate started filming), RDA played a pathologically jealous husband/policeman who hit is wife (Susan Dey) around alot. Until she left him and started up with another bloke.
RDA's "love" and "concern" for his ex-wife was totally perverted. He was totally different to the other characters RDA plays and I think he carried it off convincingly.
I wanted him to be caught for the crimes he committed in the movie but, at the same time, he was RDA and I wanted it to end differently with him, somehow, getting away with it all.
And, Shelby, he looked pretty darn good in a policeman's dark blue uniform

Rick and uniforms
He just *knows* how to wear a uniform, something not everyone can make work, especially those who are supposed to for a living. Not all folks in the military can carry it off well and certainly not all actors, although George Clooney looks *good* in uniform ['Three Kings' = Desert Storm and 'The Peacemaker' = US Army greens].
You *wear* a uniform from the inside and Rick has the carrage and bearing to pull it off. He does the Air Force proud.:star:

back tracking a bit to Jack haing a lot of RDA in him. I read somewhere to that during a scene where Jack is boxing with Teal'c, Christopher actually hit RDA by mistake & RDA adlibed, "is my nose bleeding", he continued with the sceen & they kept it in the show.

Acting vrs. Real Life
Yeah... Chris popped him a good one. IN 'The Enemy Withing' when Sam fights with Kowalsky in the elevator and he slams her back against the back wall, she actually does get knocked out for a bit. They were both so worried about getting the scene right and not hurting each other that Jay moved a bit too fast and Amanda threw herself against the wall too hard to make it easier on Jay. It was when they called 'Cut' and noticed Amanda wasn't moving that anyone had a clue.
It freaked them both out and they appologized each other to death.
It was also decided to keep that shot scene and not try it again.
Good plan.

ya, I saw that on an interview with AT. She said it was her first & only concusion & that when you see Sam Carter crummpled up on the floor in a pathetic heap, it's really Amanda crummpled up on the floor in a pathetic heap. Somewhere they said that AT does all her own stunts (or most), does anyone know if she did the one in Solitudes where she slides down the cravas' side to Jack's side from the surface? 'Couse that looked pretty painful & it looked like her head bashed the graound a few times.

Stunts
I can check around. I know that for the fight scene in "Emancipation" she learned the entire sequence ever though the production staff wanted her stunt woman to do most of it. But she got so good that the only stunt women shots are things like the sword trying to hit her legs, where she really could have been badly hurt. She did almost all of that sequence herself.

right on! if i was an actress I'd do all my stunts. in highschool drama class I always liked to do the falling scense or getting hurt sceens, it's fun flinging yourself off of props if you know how to land without hurting yourself.

Stunts
In high school drama my best stunt wasn't even planned. Some ditziod of a janitor paste waxed and then buffed the stage floor the night before the final so when I made my entrance [a leap from stage right] I hit my mark, slid past my mark and went off the font of the stage into the first row of seats.
Well... I pulled myself together, appologised as best I could in character, climbed back on stage and delivered my lines.
Shortly after that, I went into props, lighting and make-up.
It was safer.
