Stargate Planner: Week of March 28-April 3

We’ll update this article if something comes to our attention during the week. Also, if you’ve got more to add, please don’t hesitate to announce them in the comment section below.

Calendar

Monday,   March 28 Stargate Universe on Syfy at 10 PM ET with “Hope.”

Showcase EndgameMichael Shanks guest stars tonight at 10 PM ET/PT in the episode “The Caffeine Hit” of Canada’s new Showcase show Endgame. One of Stargate‘s guest stars is part of the regular cast, Veena Sood, who’s played an Abydonian and Dr. Kelly in episodes of SG-1. The show centers around the Russian-born former World Chess Champion Arkady Balagan, who, after witnessing the assassination of his fiancée and her high school friend in Vancouver, has become agoraphobic. He doesn’t leave the hotel where he lives. Such a life has caused him to amass a debt, so as a way to earn money, he uses his brilliant mind to solve mysteries. He has friends and associates, many who manage or work in the hotel in which he lives, who help him in his investigations. In “The Caffeine Hit,” Shanks plays “a desperate amnesiac” for whom Balagan “begins to unravel the man’s complicated identity.” When Shanks told his official website (MSOL) about the role, he mentioned that his character Casey Roman “finds out he may have been a real asshole.” MSOL has images of Shanks in his role as Roman in their gallery, but beware of spoilers! The episode will repeat on Thursday and Sunday. Visit their official website for more details.
Tuesday,   March 29 Stargate Universe on SPACE at 10 PM ET with “Hope.”
Wednesday,   March 30
Thursday,   March 31 Stargate Universe on Australia’s SciFi at 8:30 PM ET with “Hope.”

Jason Momoa as Conan

Jason Momoa will receive the 2011 CinemaCon Rising Star Award at the Caesars Palace in Las Vegas tonight. CinemaCon managing director Mitch Neuhauser said, “Bringing with him an already loyal fanbase from Stargate: Atlantis, Jason Momoa is sure to entertain audiences in the action adventure Conan the Barbarian. We can’t wait to see what this new leading action star will do in the future.” Not only does Momoa have the starring role in Conan the Barbarian, but he also has a recurring role in HBO’s new Game of Thrones series that will be premiering April 17. You’ll find links of interest for Momoa’s projects here at Solutions on his homepage in our Actors…Beyond the Event Horizon feature.
Friday,     April 1 Lou Diamond PhillipsLou Diamond Phillips is the host of a new franchise on the Military Channel that premieres tonight: An Officer and a Movie. Per the Military Channel’s press release, each installment “pairs Phillips with retired and active duty officers who lived through major battles or have an expertise in the conflicts depicted in notable Hollywood films. As each film makes its Military Channel premiere, AN OFFICER AND A MOVIE provides expert commentary that can only come from being ‘on the ground’ during the action as these officers reflect on the themes of that night’s film and also provide personal insight that puts each movie into a modern context.” In tonight’s movie at 8 PM ET, Phillips and retired Marine Col. Arthur Athens “discuss the themes behind the 1979 classic film The Great Santini, starring Robert Duvall, who was nominated for an Academy Award for this role. As the director of the U.S. Naval Academy’s Vice Admiral James B. Stockdale Center for Ethical Leadership, the former Commandant of the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy, Athens is uniquely able to comment on what it means to be a leader in the military and within a family’s home, where in his own life he has ten children.” For more on the airing schedule, visit http://military.discovery.com/.
Saturday,   April 2
Sunday,    April 3 HBO Game of Thrones PosterHBO will be airing a preview of Game of Thrones tonight at 9 PM ET. If you miss it, it will be available afterwards online and on demand. Jason Momoa has a recurring role as Khal Drogo, a warrior king. Game of Thrones is a “beyond R” translation of the George R.R. Martin book series A Song of Fire and Ice and is named after the first book, A Game of Thrones. As with Stargate, there exist several fan websites for the new show, two of them being Westeros.org and Winter-Is-Coming.net. HBO also has an official website. Solutions is maintaining a list of GoT links accessible from Momoa’s main page here.

Destiny in INCURSION PART 2 (MGM/About.com)

  • Franchise – Executive producer Joseph Mallozzi updated his readers on the last tasks that he and others are doing to complete the final episode of SGU, “Gauntlet.” As is typical with most Stargate season finales, this episode ends on a cliffhanger. “It’s a spectacular yet poignant season ender,” Mallozzi wrote after watching the finale’s Day 1 Mix. “Hopefully, by the time its airs, we’ll have definite word on a potential movie or two. If it’s a go and fans can look forward to a proper end to Destiny’s mission, then Gauntlet will certainly set the stage for a grand conclusion. If, on the other hand, things don’t pan out and Gauntlet does turn out to be the bittersweet finale, fans will be thrilled, touched, heartbroken – and left to wonder what could have been.” Once the finale is “in the can,” what will become of the franchise? Mallozzi once again reassured his readers, “The sets are still standing as Brad and co. await word on possible movies. As for the writers/producers – some have moved on, some stand ready to start work on a continuation of the storyline should they receive the green light.”

Thursday,   January 20 Tonight at 10/9c is the premiere of the new USA network series Fairly Legal in which Richard Dean Anderson will be making five appearances over the first season as David Smith. Fairly Legal is the new title of the series; it was formerly called Facing Kate. The pilot is 90 minutes and the remaining nine episodes will be one hour each. The premise: “Kate Reed (Sarah Shahi) is a firm believer that justice can always be found-even if it’s not always in the courtroom. Once a lawyer at her family’s esteemed San Francisco firm, Kate’s frustration with the legal system led her to a new career as a mediator. Thanks to her innate understanding of human nature, thorough legal knowledge, and wry sense of humor, Kate is a natural when it comes to dispute resolution. Except, it seems, when it comes to conflicts in her own life” (Show’s official homepage).

Beau Bridges will be among the hosts at the premiere of the documentary Elephants and Man: A Litany of Tragedy at Sunset Gower Studios in Hollywood.

From PR-USA: The film, executive produced by Melya Kaplan and directed by Jacek Kropinski, chronicles the history of elephants in captivity. Kaplan, founder of the nonprofit Voice for the Animals Foundation, contends that zoos and circuses are not capable of properly caring for elephants due to their size and their need for vast amounts of space in which to roam. Many celebrities have joined Kaplan in a campaign to persuade zoos to close elephant exhibits and transfer the pachyderms to larger sanctuaries.

The host committee for the premiere of “Elephants and Man” includes Cher, Alec Baldwin, Kathy Griffin, Billy Bob Thornton, Jane Fonda, Robin Williams, Ed Begley, Jr., Paul Haggis, Fisher Stevens, Ric O’Barry, Karen Black, Lainie Kazan, Ken Davitian, Sally Field, Beau Bridges and others.

Jason Momoa as Khal Drogo in GAME OF THRONES (HBO)
  • Jason Momoa – His Conan movie was renamed to Conan the Barbarian, but still has the same release date in the United States: August 19, 2011. For his other project, HBO’s Game of Thrones, there are some rumors going around that HBO might already be renewing the new series for a second season, even before the first has been aired. Speculation as to why this might be the case can be found at the fansite Winter Is Coming. This fansite is very active in posting the latest news on the new HBO series and this editor highly recommends it. There’s also a recent article that includes an image of Momoa as Khal Drogo entitled “MGoT update: Join the Dothraki horde.”
  • Michael Shanks, Lexa Doig, Steve Bacic – Filming has wrapped for Hangar 14. Shanks plays a bad guy, a Russian gangster named Demetrius, and Doig plays a SWAT team member along with Steve Bacic, Michael Jai White, and the movie’s star, former wrestler Steve Austin. Doig published a few pictures on her Twitter while on the set of the movie: “Me as SWAT chick” and “The Boys :).” Currently, IMDb lists Doig in her role, but not her husband Shanks! The storyline: “A training exercise for the LAPD SWAT Team goes terribly wrong when they find themselves pitted against two rival gangs while trapped in an abandoned Hangar, armed with nothing but blanks.”
  • Stargate Universe – Our Stargate Wiki now has all of the transcripts for the first half of Season Two. SGU will be returning to Syfy in the Spring, possibly early April 2011.
