MGM Video: Joe Flanigan talks about Stargate Atlantis and his action figure, part 1 of 2

[wraithfodder]

MGM has put up the EXTRA interview segment with Joe Flanigan at http://stargate.mgm.com/video.php?id=106. This was filmed during the season 4 episode "Harmony." Jerry Penacoli of the infotainment show EXTTRA! talks to Joe about Stargate Atlantis, the perks and drawbacks and the Sheppard action figure.

Over 90 screencaps under the cut. GRAPHIC INTENSIVE.

Joe etalks about confiding 'secrets' of season 4, such as the introduction of Sheppard's ex-wife ("Outcast").



















Aw, come on, everybody wants a photo of a clipboard, right? ;)

On the set of "Harmony."




On the location shoot for "Harmony."






Joe explains they're on the planet "British Columbia.'" He notes that most of the planets look 'strikingly famliar.'


Jerry mentions that Sheppard is the 'action hero' of the show.




Which is tougher for Joe: the action scenes or the love scenes?


"I don't get enough love scenes," he deadpans.






















Joe jokingly talks about "Amazon women" and "kirking."  Says "He's (Sheppard) is not 'Captain Kirking' it enough. He should be, kind of, Amazon women and things like that."








Joe says action scenes are fun because you can get "awfully sedentary" working on a TV show.




Working 12-14 hour days....


Jason and Joe run around a corner.




"The action shots are really kind of fun."






Toughest part of action shots is not having rehearsal time.















Joe says he’s not one of those disciplinarian kinds of guy who can do all the kung fu stuff, so instead he just whips out the gun and shoots the bad guy.

OKAY, going to put the rest of the photos in the next post located here.

Thank so much for this! The actual video won't load for me so the pic post and captions are great. I love hearing little tid bits about what goes on behind the scenes from the people who actually work for shows. It's all a lot more complicated than the actual episode seems on TV (which I guess is part of what makes it a difficult thing to do). *curious* What did Joe say about the kirking and Amazon women?

Oh my gosh these are wonderful. Thanks so much for capping this! He has the most sarcastic and dry sense of humor that I find myself laughing right along with him. And Jerry Penacoli seemed to find him a riot too. Oh, and he's also very pretty...Joe I mean.

That was great. Thanks for sharing. Dang, he's adorable. I love the twinkle he gets when talking about his son sleeping with his daddy action figure. No, he's not a proud poppa at all....

I think that's what I love best about Sheppard - he's not a kung fu kind of action star. It's guns, brains and a whole lot of luck with him, and sometimes he doesn't always get it right. He manages to pull off being both cool and a complete dork, and it keeps him from being the generic can-do-know-wrong hero.

You are a star!!!

Does he seem to drop years when he's just chatting, especially whe talking about his family?
