Sci Fi Weekly: Q&A with SGA S4 Cast

SCI FI WEEKLY has compiled a Q&A feature from interviews in which David Hewlett (Dr. Rodney McKay), Amanda Tapping (Col. Samantha Carter), Rachel Luttrell (Teyla Emmagan), and Joe Flanigan (Lt. Col. John Sheppard) discuss the upcoming Season Four of Stargate Atlantis, along with a few fun facts about the actors themselves.

Melissa Perenson’s article, entitled “The cast of Stargate Atlantis contends with casting changes as they open the iris on season four”, covers a variety of subjects, including the return of Paul McGillion as Dr. Carson Beckett (who died in Season Three’s “Sunday”).

Change is afoot at Stargate Atlantis as the series enters its fourth season. For starters, the cast gets an infusion of new blood, with Stargate SG-1‘s Amanda Tapping and Firefly‘s Jewel Staite joining the lineup. And the stories will take some new directions in what has been described by many cast and crew as a shakeup of the status quo and a “soft reset” of the series. No surprise that Stargate Atlantis would be shaking things up a bit—after all, the stakes are higher now that companion series SG-1 is no longer on the air.

Plot spoilers are included in the feature, so be aware of that as you click HERE to read the full Q&A.

Season Four of Stargate Atlantis premieres with “Adrift” on Friday, September 28, at 10pm Eastern, on the Sci Fi Channel.
