Major Paul Davis of the Pentagon will be paying a visit to the Pegasus Galaxy in the series finale of Stargate Atlantis. Little is known about the episode “Enemy at the Gate,” which is the one hundredth episode of Atlantis, but the title implies alot. Speculation is that it will involve the nemesis that will be introduced in the Season Five two-parter, “First Contact” and “The Lost Tribe.”
Actor Colin Cunningham declined comment on involvement in the episode, but did say that he would be “delighted and proud to continue on as Major Davis in the exceptional franchise that is Stargate.”

The story synopsis: “Vala Mal Doran finds herself in a particularly sticky situation when an old foe catches up with her. With only Daniel Jackson able to fight her corner, Vala may have to do something that’s really not her style—tell the truth.”
Fans will be able to download each audio adventure in the six-episode season, along with the CD artwork, for $8.99 (US).

The upcoming straight-to-DVD movie Stargate: Continuum, based on SCI FI Channel’s original series Stargate SG-1, gave producers a chance to wreak havoc on a main character to serve the exigencies of the film’s location shooting. (Major spoilers ahead!)
Writer and executive producer Brad Wright told SCI FI Wire that the script called for Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) to lose a leg–but not simply to serve the writer’s whim.
Rather, Jackson had to become disabled to meet the needs of the production, which shot several scenes in the Arctic when Shanks was unavailable.
“I had to finish the Arctic scenes first, before we started to shoot [Stargate: The] Ark of Truth,” Wright said in an interview in Vancouver, Canada, last week. “It was kind of weird. We shot all the Arctic scenes, and then took a long, long break, shot another movie and then did Continuum.”
The plot required Col. Cameron Mitchell (Ben Browder), Col. Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping) and Shanks’ Jackson to be together on a wrecked ship in the Arctic. But because of a scheduling conflict, “Michael wasn’t available to do the Arctic shoot,” Wright said. As a result, Jackson isn’t in any of the early footage of Mitchell and Carter struggling to survive on the ice.
