Goodbye Atlantis - 4:25 15.9MB - Executive Producer Joseph Mallozzi says goodbye to Atlantis. Watch it in real time - only on SCI FI.

Okay, read some comments about it on GW, then watched it and well, yeah, the folks were right... well, it's got David Hewlett's last day, Jason Momoa's last day, RAchel Luttrell, Jewel Staite, and hello? I sorta recall some guy named Joe Flanigan throughout the entire series?? So I guess Joe M isn't going to miss him? It just seems, well, tacky, not to include the leading actor of the show in the goodbye. I seriously doubt they'd have done that to RDA (well, considering he was a producer, no they wouldn't).

So if you're watching for Joe Flanigan, once the scene atop the gate is over, that's basically it for Joe except far shots, but gad, so weird he's not even mentioned!

I think with those thoughtless actions of JMOL he pretty much killed the movie...*Or* he will not care if Joe is not in it. If Joe isn't in it then I bet Jason won't be in it and I bet that if Jason or Joe are not in it then David will not want to give up any time from Starcrossed to be in it and Rachel would not want to be there by herself!
Maybe this was a sneaky way of JMol to slither out of actually MAKING a SGA movie if none of the actors want to do the movie, then they save a but load by not having to make the movie!

I don't think he is that smart given his pathetically
small mind regarding any sort of constructive comments which may have been made, not only perhaps by Joe, but by some of SGA fans. I mentioned earlier a note I had sent him regarding his portrayal of a military officer. I am certain it was totally dismissed. I grew up around it and was an active duty Navy line officer. If you are going to portray a military officer, and I don't give a flying fig that he is in Pegasus, he IS still a LTCOL USAF, then do it right!!!
Finally.......
I still contend that it is difficult for someone like Joe to kowtow when the object is so small.
~~LOL~~

He doesn't have that power. Again, the movie almost has to be made because it would be bad from the business perspective. These people will need to get jobs in other projects later and if they screw up they won't work.

I'm pretty certain it will happen. If they film it this year it will be late, like October or November. Malpoopsi has no say whatever at all in who is in the film.
