From the explosive TV series comes the hottest role-playing game of 2003!

Don S. Davis and Amanda Tapping positvely charmed the audience that gathered to hear them talk about Stargate SG-1.

Not only did MGM announce Stargate will indeed have an 8th season, but the stars spoke of favorite scripts, the respect they have for their fellow cast mates, and the fun they have on set.

When asked how closely they stuck to the script Amanda Tapping commented on her co-star "Richard Dean 'Ad Lib' Anderson!" and Director Martin Wood said that a feature the writers had wanted on the DVDs was a little pop-up to tell you the rare occassions when a scripted line made it to the screen.

As you can see by this montage of images from the panel, there was fun, heart break (Amanda Tapping confessing "it's what I do" when the topic of her character's tragic love life came up. It was summed up quite well as she loves 'em and watches 'em die.) and deep thought as some serious topics were touched upon as well.

All in all a DEFINITE highlight of the 2003 San Diego Comic Con.

  As always -- a pure delight!

Erin Gray is one of my favorite people to see at Conventions. This woman has barely aged a day since she first graced television screens, and conitnues to be a remarkable presence.

Take a moment to check out Erin's official website where, among other things, you will find a calendar announcing her upcoming conventions -- including Dragon*Con in Atlanta Georgia August 29 - September 1.

And, for those wondering when they can catch Erin on television... why not catch a glimpse from days gone by. Check Sci Fi to see when they'll be showing Buck Rogers next.

In addition, it never hurts to check out TV-now.com's Erin Gray page to see when they've heard she'll be gracing our screens once more.

  The new Battlestar Galactica mini-series scheduled to air on Sci Fi this winter is a reimagining of the original series which aired many years ago.

Dirk Benedict, Richard Hatch and Herbert Jefferson, Jr., brought some wonderful characters to life, but I believe the audience will find that their characters NAMES may be the only real similarity that we will find between, for instance, the Starbuck of DIRK BENEDICT and that of KATEE SACKHOFF.

I am also unsure how the Apollo of Richard Hatch will compare to that of Jamie Bamber, but look forward to tuning in to find out.

For information on the Classic Series check out the section set up at Sci Fi's website. Where they also have information on the new mini-series
