Camelot is the Season Nine Finale and Cliffhanger
In his recent GateWorld Blog entry, executive producer and writer Joseph Mallozzi made a few casting announcements for Season Nine’s finale, “Camelot”, which recently completed filming (October 6), “The director’s cut of Camelot will soon follow. […] John Noble (aka Denethor from Lord of the Rings) and Katharine Isabelle (Ginger Snaps) guest star.”
John Noble, as mentioned by Mallozzi, played Denethor in the Lord of the Rings saga, and has announced on his website that he will be playing Meurik, the village of Camelot’s governor. Meurik is courteous, intelligent, and strong, but dismisses the threat of the Ori. He strongly believes that King Arthur will return to his throne after finding the “sangraal” (Holy Grail). He becomes furious with Daniel and Mitchell after they disobey his orders and gain access to Merlin’s library and release the Black Knight. After Mitchell impresses him with apparently vanquishing the Black Knight, Meurik offers Daniel and Mitchell his village’s hospitality until Arthur returns with the sangraal.
Katharine Isabelle started as a child actor and played Ginger in the Ginger Snaps movies, and recently appeared as Yarrow in SCI FI’s miniseries Legend of Earthsea. She most likely is playing the role of Valencia, a teenaged girl in the village of Camelot who knows how to use a sword, though she feels that becoming a knight is not possible for her because she is a woman. Mitchell shares some of his swordfighting experience with her and she provides him and Daniel with key information about access to Merlin’s library. Valencia also has a surprising destiny of her own tied to the legend of King Arthur’s return.
