http://www.thegeekbeat.com/home/jewel-staite-interview/ talked to Jewel Staite at Comic-Con and has the video online now. She talks about her character (very smart, shy, but "in her element" and "very, very capable." She said about her character replacing Beckett, she said "It felta little awkward at first... I definitely felt new," and explained how the set is like a family but everybody was nice, except David Hewlett, she said amusingly, who teased her a lot. What's been her least favorite moment on Stargate Atlantis - She got the second script and went "oh my god," as there was tons of medical technobabble. More at link above.

"The longest running sci-fi show..."

You know, the producers of SG-1 keep saying that, and it drives me insane. More accurately, they should claim, "The longest running AMERICAN sci-fi show ever". Doctor Who ran for over twenty years before it went into hiatus, and it's running again today. I could be wrong, but I think there are over 28 cumulative seasons on Dr. Who, not counting movies and TV specials like "Curse of Fatal Death"! SG-1 has nothing on that record!

Yup, DOCTOR WHO is tops, and on American TV, heck, even The Simpsons has hit 18 years...
