Scifi.com continues their tribute to the end of SG-1 as a series at their countdown site. On their “Best Episode” poll, the top 4 were: Shades of Grey, Window of Opportunity, Lost City Part 2, and Abyss. As it so often does, Window of Opportunity took the top honors. The site continues with other contests, such as “Top 10 Moments,” and it’s clear whoever chose those candidates is knowledgeable viewer of SG-1!
In the cast farewells area, video goodbyes from Amanda Tapping and Ben Browder are now up. Tapping talks about her favorite scenes and the evolution of Carter into a warm, well-rounded, fun person. She likes it when Carter makes mistakes, as long as they are honest mistakes. A main thing she learned working on the show was to not compromise yourself. “Nobody’s gonna think you’re a bitch as long as you’re being honest.”
Browder said the moment that best reflects Mitchell was in Camelot when he nearly passed out in the mud from exhaustion. Mitchell is someone who pushes past the edge, although he is learning to dial it back somewhat. He talked about how acquaintances still only know SG-1 as “McGyver’s show”. He said Mitchell will “get his ass whooped” in the first movie and gets to do interesting stuff in the second. He compared Crichton to Mitchell and noted that Mitchell does not have a private life that it more important than his job. Browder seems to enjoy the crazy stuff he gets to do on set.
All of the farewell videos are worth a look if you have a high-speed connection!
Thanks, Michelle, on behalf of those of us without the high-speed connection! 🙂
