“This one explores one of the more interesting relationships aboard Destiny,” executive producer Joseph Mallozzi wrote in his weblog. He also suggested that this episode is a great one for MSgt. Ronald Greer’s character development.
Two very special guest stars are featured tonight: Kathleen Quinlan (Apollo 13) portrays Senator Michaels, who replaced Chloe’s father Senator Alan Armstrong on the committee that manages the Icarus Project’s funding; and French Stewart, who played Louis Ferretti in Stargate (the movie), portrays Dr. Andrew Covel, a highly-regarded research scientist from Stargate Command. While these two are visiting Destiny using the communication stones linked to Camile Wray and Greer, Homeworld Command comes under attack, presumably by the Lucian Alliance. A terrible accident happens that puts all four individuals involved with the links in grave danger.
Is it possible that the members of the Alliance who are were permitted to become members of the Destiny crew have betrayed Earth? Tune in tonight to find out and make sure to rejoin us here for our episode poll on the front page.

[spoiler intro=”Stargate Trivia Question”]“As Brad pointed out, the actor playing the part of Dr. Andrew Covel in episode #213 brings to four the number of guest stars who also appeared in the original Stargate movie.” — Joseph Mallozzi, August 20, 2010

We’ll present the answer in the episode’s upcoming ratings report that will be posted as soon as that data becomes available.[/spoiler]
The Four Stargate Actors that Appeared in SG-1, Atlantis or Universe were Richard Kind who played Dr. Gary Myers in the movie and Lucius Fox in Atlantis’s Episodes “Irresponsible” and Irresistible”, Alexis Cruz (“Skaara”), Erick Avari (“Kasuf”) and French Stewart (“Andrew Covel”)
Kasuf-Erick Avari
Skarra-Alexis Cruz
Gary Meyers-Richard Kind
Lt. Ferretti-French Stewart
Had trouble remembering the actors but their characters are unforgettable!
