Stargate Atlantis at Comic-Con #09: First report back

[wraithfodder]

Whoa, an actual mention of the Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis panels!

Screenrant.com

Apparently, no spoilers or big news items were spilled.

* Ark of Truth trailer shown
* Ben Browder hammed it up. Chris Judge pimped "Rage of Angels" ;)
* Ba'al will be the lead villain in "Continuum"

As for SGA, a quick snippet "The Stargate: Atlantis panel included David Hewlett, Joe Flanigan and Jewel Staite. Someone asked whether the show could go for 10 years, and a rep from Sci Fi channel said that people need to watch the show without using Tivo but watch it as it is broadcast instead."

You know, that is so ridiculous! First off, the only live counts that matters are Neilson box families. Second off, it's more on the networks back to actually ADVERTISE the show and to stop messing up with the scheduling! *grrrrrr* My skiffy hate knows no bounds, truly.

Skiffy is so screwed up. Watch us live, that is, when we deign to air the show. We won't show repeats so you can get caught up or keep interested. Aieee....

That was not a good answer IMO. The ratings only count if you have the box. I don't know anyone who has one.
They need to re-think this whole ratings fiasco.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yup. My watching the show live, or dead, or in a coma, means squat as I don't have a Neilsen box. It's not the thousands of 'geeks' at Comic Con they need to draw in , but the avearge folk in Illinois, etc. who have the boxes.

Damn. Sigh guess I'll look for things after work tommorrow....thanks for all the searching....I'm pretty sure there won't be any spoliers, I just want something...how the panel went, maybe someone who was there will blog about it..about some of the questions and stuff...though I'd kill for just a little video....come on Sci-Fi is that too much?

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Someone on GW reported that the questions were standard, nothing you haven't heard before or seen on JM's blog, and they were screened (so I doubt anybody could ask "why the heck did Weir get the boot?")

I'm hoping SciFi will have something up soon, but won't lose any sleep over it tonight. Got an early morning tomorrow.
