jonas in season 7...or lack thereof

[Texane]

Yup. Stargate has jumped the shark.

[I thought it was this season that (what's his name- sorry! I really can't remember it . . .) he was contracted for 6 epys]

[FYI - I saw Stargate Infinity for the first time this morning . . . what the *&^%$#@!??????]

Oh, well. A movie is still our best hope so far.

the six episodes was just a rumor. Apparently AT said it at a con, however she also said SHE got the info off the net. In his last chat, Joe said, to the best of his knowledge, no real contract with CN had been signed.

(his two year contract was with MGM, and just because he has it, does not mean he HAS to do the show. MGM could buy him out, basically pay him a predetermined amount of money. Sort of like he'll get paid $X if he works and $Y if they choose not to use him. of course, I have no idea his exact contract details, it's pure speculation)

And since only the first two eps of the season have been written (also as of that last chat) there is no definite number of eps for corin simply because they can't cast him until they know he's written in...and the scripts arent' written yet.

We could get a level of involvement like Hammond, a few scenes in every eps, or we could get like janet, who seems to be in 1/2 - 3/4 of them...or we could get like Jacob, one or two a year. (we already know that he's in the first two, so we get at least two, maybe three if he shows up for the finale.

Personally, I think by the second eps of season 7 he'll be neatly sent off to Kelowna where he's nice and out of the way. He may be trotted out once or twice, but we won't see him again until the series finale.

I really hope i'm wrong, only time will tell, and we won't know for sure for another year or so

What planet do the writers live on? Planet Burnaby. Where they live in an ivory tower and the production staff lives in little grass huts all around it's base. And the majority of the population circles the tower once a week and stares at it in awe, except for the evil, moraless Thinking People. Sorcerers who have the nerve to question the lofty writers and all that they do....

go Cyn, go . . .

Omigod.....insurrection in the ranks from the thinking moral-less minority?

I go to South Africa for three weeks and look how everything falls apart!

BTW Texane, I agree wholeheartedly about Infinity!

 

[skydiver]

Not fall apart, but posting some interesting stuff to come back to.

I cringed at the idea that series-killing Scifi was taking on Showtime's baby. And now they've got another 22 eps added to the roster to REALLY take it down the drain... After Smoke and Mirrors I'm wondering who is blowing smoke up who's behind over in Burnaby BC. Second ep in a row adapted from a story, teleplayed by someone and produced by umpteen producers. Talk about taking a story I'd enjoy READING and making a hash out of it... And the production standared was film school project quality. No. I won't go that far, but I do have some beefs with whoever seemed to be filling in for the regular person in charge (unless illness or personal circumstances caused the substution, I mean)

About the only plus was I think the story was penned by the original Foothold writer (about the only woman they have working for them) When ever I see the name I'm willing to hold out for the meat of the message.

(okay, someone burn my soapbox. I'm making too much use of it)

 

[Texane]

Don't burn the soapbox . . . Anni and I may have use of it . . .

 

[Anni]

Damn! She's gonna burn the soapbox?

STOP HER SOMEONE!!!

<Anni runs after Cyn with a bucket of water!>

My soapbox. I thought you had your own. Like I should talk about TV production in Canada... I just saw "Call It A Stargate" ep 1 and 2. While I LOVED what those men did in England, it does reveal a few rungs that SG-1 has yet to slip through. I'm ready to say we're blessed with a million plus dollar show, but it all becomes like my last boss stressed: you may get millinons, but what do you spend the money on once you have it? At this point, it's a good thing they're spending it on their actors. They're carrying the show on five years of momentium.

On Jonas (to stick to topic), I've been harping two years they need more characters on the show. I sure hope they don't throw him away like so many others they've killed off.

Ah, Anni, doesn't matter if you can't post much any more, it's always worth the read when you do Anyhoo, I'm one of the 'give us a 5 person team' people...but alas I rearly get what I want. I agree in that Jonas shouldn't have had any connection with Danny's demise, however, on the bit about Danny ascending...though my first choise would had be for Danny to go off with another team n a dig or something, I think the ascention suited him a bit. It's a theme that's been touched on several times through out the show already & Danny was always interested in it, so hey, give the guy what he wants. However, I really REALLY detested executive Oma...shudder ...:errrr:
