The April 24th Sci Fi Monday SG-1 marathon was “One is Never Enough,” which included two two-parters from Season 7, “Heroes” and “The Lost City”. Below are the interview snippets shown throughout the night, courtesy of Elyse at sg1_spoilme. Thanks, Elyse!
Also this week, you can view very high quality Quicktime movies of the snippets at Farscapism.com. Well worth watching.
Ben Browder
“Well, what I think is interesting about the SG1 team is that it is continuing to change and evolve. You still have the core – you have Teal’c, you have Colonel Carter, you have Daniel – and in the last two years, we’ve added Landry, and Mitchell and this year we’ve added Vala, and you have a group of people who have saved the universe on countless times and now you have new people to come in and ask the stupid questions (said with big grin). ‘I’m sorry, we’re going through the gate, why?’ and ‘who is that? Great, okay, let’s go!’ (ends with thumbs up gesture).”
Michael Shanks
“Heroes, part one and two, really sort of delved into the character relationships in terms of what they mean, or what they could mean in our theoretical world, what they could mean to the outside world that we’re trying to represent, and uh, I think that was a great example of the characters interacting and making you care about them so that when all the explosions and bombs and the aliens are happening that you actually care about the characters so I think that’s one of my most favorite episodes, if that’s proper English.”
Amanda Tapping
“What I’ve enjoyed building over the last ten years is the relationship with Teal’c. They just really love each other and it’s so nice that they now express it. An arm around the shoulder, or a hug, or a look between the two of them that says everything, and Chris and I really enjoy playing that. Like yesterday we were shooting a moment with this new character Vala – Claudia Black’s character – and she went up and did something and we just shared a look that said everything, that we’d known each other so long, and that’s quintessentially what makes SG-1.”
Beau Bridges
“One of my favorites of last year was ‘Ripple Effect.’ I really enjoyed that. It was very imaginative, and I still get a thrill because it’s sort of new to me – all the sci-fi stuff, when you have clones of all these people, and it gets kind of tedious doing it, because there’s a lot of technical stuff going on. You have to shoot scenes over and over again to get those effects, but watching it, just as an audience, it made me giggle. I thought it was cool.”
