SCI FI WIRE talked with Michael Shanks about the last day of filming the show:
“One of the first things that Christopher and Amanda and I had done when we first showed up for the first season of the show was we walked up to where they were still building the SGC set,” Shanks said in an interview. “We walked up to where the briefing room was going to be, and we looked down at this huge set and this huge prop Stargate, and we all just sat there stunned. It was like, ‘Wow, this is real. They’re building this for us. This is the beginning of something amazing.'”
Shanks, Judge and Tapping returned to that same spot after shooting the last scene of the finale, which also happened to be the very last SG-1 scene to go before the camera. “So we made a point, at the very end, after we’d wrapped, of running back upstairs to that briefing room and taking a final look,” Shanks said. “It was bittersweet, but at the same time it was a nice way to bookend the emotional journey we’d been on for a decade.”
Shanks, Judge, and Tapping reprised their SG-1 roles in the two direct-to-video movies Stargate: The Ark of Truth and Stargate: Continuum, both currently in post-production and due to be released this fall.
