Kate Hewlett and Stargate Universe

[wraithfodder]

GW has a brief snippet of an interview with Kate Hewlett, and I'm afraid to say that fan reaction of "Stargate: 90210" may not be that farfetched...

At the the article, she said ""I have a bunch of friends who have auditioned for the show," she said, "and they seem to be going very young. I think it's the new, hip, Stargate Jr. I think that I don't probably fit into that but I would love to. I was secretly hoping they'd be like, 'We need to bring someone over. Who could it be?'" I mean, Kate is 32, so if she's over-the-hill.... Sigh... For one thing, it sucks that we won't see Rodney and Jeanie bicker anymore.

I'm still 'meh' about SGU due to the way the studio, etc. handled axing SGA and then announcing their shiny new toy, SGU, plus the writers, who seem to have lost their focus on SGA, are all excited about SGU. Plus, frankly, I like the 'old folk' on SGA just fine. I just hope they all find new jobs soon (and I hope, hope, HOPE that Joe Flanigan lands on the NICS spinoff. Just a dream I'd like to see come true as NCIS is a hoot and I'm sure the spinoff will be fun too).

I trust the actors a whole lot more than I do TPTB and I think Kate is a very sharp cookie. The actors seem to "get" fans a lot more and understand their own characters and how fans might perceive them.

I think Flanigan would work well in the NCIS spinoff, if and when it does come to fruition. He played a fed on the short-lived "Women's Murder Club" but the role didn't get a good resolution due to the timing of the writer's strike and JF having to return to filming SGA.

Torri has already appeared in an NCIS episode, and I heard she'll appear again but I'm not sure when.

I'm sad the cast we've come to love has to separate, yet I'm happy we'll be able to follow them in other projects.

While we might not see Rodney and Jeanie bicker onscreen again, I'm pretty sure David and Kate will be playing bickering characters again in one of the multiple projects he's been working on. I was giggling over the commentary for A Dog's Breakfast, with their mother saying something about they weren't acting, that's just them.

Yeah, I remember Joe F's Women's Murder Club. Had potential. and I loved Torri's character on NCIS. Sure hope she does reappear!

Yeah, ADB was a hoot. Imagine what he could do with a bigger budget!

I think Hewlett's gotten a good springboard for things from his time on SGA. I think The Suits realize he's got a lot of sway with fans.

He'll probably have some of his former co-stars guest starring in his upcoming projects, as he did in ADB. I know he's mentioned wanting Christopher Judge in another movie.

Then there's the Judge and Shanks project Rage of Angels, which is supposed to start filming sometime next year. I know they've already got Jay Acovone on the list of Stargate actors who'll be in the show, and I'm sure there'll be more. It'll be like a Stargate Actor Reunion. Could be fun, especially if they play very different roles than we're used to.
