At Infinitely Better. Thanks again to Elyse from SpoilMe.
A report on Infinitely Better seems to confirm what reported back on Feb 25th (info in post 11125) that Torri Higginson has nailed the role of DR. ELIZABETH WEIR, and that ROBERT PATRICK will appear in the pilot episode. And that JOE FLANIGAN has the Major Shepherd role.
Infinitely Better also reports:
"We can also reveal that the expected character Dr Ingram will now be played
by someone who is no stranger to Stargate, David Hewlett, who played Rodney
McKay in three episodes of SG-1. Whether the character will remain as Ingram or revert to McKay has not yet been revealed."
However, this appears to contradict casting notices put out so far for Dr. Ingram, listed as DR. BENJAMIN INGRAM. Brilliant, 40-50ish African-Canadian scientist who is responsible for the techie stuff. Doesn't possess some rare gene
(do any of us?) that would let him interface with the Ancient's technology.
So, we'll have to wait to see if David Hewlett indeeds joins the cast, as
McKay, Ingram (vastly changed) or another character.
Report from Elyse at SpoilMe.
This just confirmed: Lexa will be appearing at Starfest 2004, which is held in Denver, Colorado April 16-18, 2004. She will be on the main stage on Saturday and be signing autographs & posing for pictures on Saturday and Sunday.

Gatecon hopes to pull out all the stops for the 5th year of their Stargate convention based in Vancouver, Canada and is putting together a package to hopefully entice series star Richard Dean Anderson to attend this year.

From a post on Our Stargate.com (thanks Marge!)
Michael Shanks will be a guest at Starfest Con in Denver. From their website:
Mr. Shanks portrays Daniel Jackson on the syndicated science fiction TV show Stargate SG1. His character is a scientist instrumental for his vast knowledge of past ancient civilizations and mythology. After leaving the show for its sixth season, Michael returned (by popular demand) for its seventh. His departure from the series was worked into the storyline for several episodes and his return formed an arc pivotal to the premier of the seventh season.
Mr. Shanks will be signing autographs and participating in our Photo with the Stars Program on Saturday and Sunday and appear on our Main Events stage Saturday, April 17, 2004
Filming on Stargate: Atlantis was reported to begin yesterday, Feb 23rd.
The start date for Stargate: SG-1 has been moved to March 8.

Atom Films provides this description: Driven to distraction by a single stray sock, Gorman ignores a team of workmen and their large payload until it's too late. Struck silly by their heavy box, he catapults into his bizarre past, where he is reunited with all of the little things he's lost throughout his life.

WINTER PREMIERE OF STARGATE SG-1 SIZZLES
"The Sci Fi Channel's January 9 winter premiere of Stargate SG-1 was a scorcher. In fact, it was the most-watched episode of any original series in the Sci Fi Channel's history," writes Paul Gendreau. Odd choice of photo, though--a season 6 photo without Daniel for the Daniel-centric episode "Evolution, part 2."
