wraithfodderWish they'd let a Stargate spinoff stand on their feet instead of constantly adding SG1 characters... (I like SG1, but I just figure Jack will there to crack bad jokes once more)

Four veterans of the "Stagate" franchise, Richard Dean Anderson, Amanda Tapping, Michael Shanks and Gary Jones, will reprise their roles in guest stints.
Anderson plays General O'Neil, the former leader of the elite military team SG-1. Tapping plays Samantha Carter, an astrophysicist and U.S. Air Force lieutenant colonel. Shanks plays Dr. Daniel Jackson, Stargate's archeologist and linguist. Jones plays Chief Master Sgt. Walter Harriman, commander technician of the team.
Additionally, "Stargate" alum Christopher McDonald will play Sen. Alan Armstrong, the U.S. senator and head of the International Oversight Committee that governs the Stargate program. He is the father to Chloe Armstrong (Elyse Levesque).
Grammy-nominted Janelle Monae will play herself and will perform with her band two songs from her latest album, "Many Moons" and "Sincerely."
Carlo Rota will play Carl Strom, head of the International Oversight Advisory, the civilian oversight committee that heads up the Atlantis expedition and all funding.

This amuses me as in the very beginning, I remember us being told by JM or BW that neither SGA or SG1 cast would be guests as Universe was to be set too far into the future.
Seems they have changed their minds and now it is set just a little ahead of our time, so they can fit in some SG1 cast. Perhaps Van Con was an eye opener for them on exactly HOW MUCH they upset the fans?!
Part of me is so happy that Joe and the rest of the SGA cast are out of this franchise now (assuming the film is vapour ware) as they have been treated so badly, but there is that little part of me that so misses Shep :(
