Title: Lotsa famous people to stargate.
Post by: Stunaep on February 07, 2005, 02:42:09 pm: We've got Ben Bowder, Louis Gosset Jr., Beau Bridges and Mitch Pileggi in various stargate series next summer. They must really be gettng a budget increase, if they can afford that many stars.

Looks like Season 9 will shape up to be something really cool after all, even without RDA.

On a side note, I rather like the results of the daily poll.

Though looking how he is phoning in his parts these past few episodes (parts which are no longer exceptionally well written, mind ya), who knows, this may be for the better

I actually expected him to use one of his lines in that one episode of the Chappelle Show.
"Is Wayne Brady going to have to choke a b!tch?"

Post by: WMCoolmon on February 07, 2005, 06:55:29 pm: Hmm, I've never heard of the guy they got to replace O'Neill. He doesn't look very Generalish either, but then, Don Davis is a VERY hard act to beat. Maybe he'll surprise us.

Lou Gossett Jr (Copy-paste, I can't spell that yet ;) ) I've not heard of either. But he did voices for Captain Planet and Half-Life 2, so I'm looking forward to seeing him on the show. :D

Mitch Pileggi seems like he'll fit in the most. Ironic, since it sounds like that'll be the last thing he'll be doing. ;) He also reminds me of one of the writers for Stargate...

Yah didn't I tell you."

Post by: IceFire on February 07, 2005, 11:35:02 pm: They are "stars" because of the genres that we watch. But they aren't the big names....

Whats happening is this: Stargate has run for a very long time. Actors want to get on with their lives....so they should. And they start to step down.

RDA has a family now...he's said for the last few seasons that he'd like to spend more time with them. Thats how the cards are dealt.
