The Official Stargate website published by MGM has begun a series of interviews featuring the main cast of Stargate Atlantis<\/em> Season Five<\/a>. So far, Rachel Luttrell, Robert Picardo, Jewel Staite, and David Hewlett have been featured:<\/p>\n

MGM: Close Up: Rachel Luttrell (May 13)<\/a> – “Teyla has faced many terrifying situations in her time as a part of the Atlantis crew: she’s been kidnapped by Michael, had her mind invaded by a Wraith Queen and faced an erupting volcano to name but a few. But this year, the Athosian has something a little more fundamentally challenging to deal with — becoming a parent.” …<\/p>\n

MGM: Close Up: Robert Picardo (May 20)<\/a> – “Robert Picardo is no stranger to science fiction television, having spent seven years playing the holographic Doctor in Star Trek: Voyager. He first made an impact on the Stargate universe back in Stargate SG-1’s seventh season, when Woolsey arrived at Stargate Command in the wake of Janet Fraiser’s death. It’s fair to say that the character didn’t endear himself to the SG-1 team — but Picardo obviously made himself popular with the show’s producers, because it wasn’t long before the one-off character was back for more. And from that point on, Richard Woolsey was on the road to character recovery.” …<\/p>\n

MGM: Close Up: Jewel Staite (May 27)<\/a> – “Having been introduced as Atlantis’new chief of medicine in season four, Doctor Jennifer Keller quickly established herself as an essential member of the crew — so much so that for season five, she returns as a regular. The addition continues Stargate’s tradition of adopting cast members from other respected science fiction franchises, since the role is played by actress Jewel Staite, who first became popular with audiences as Firefly’s bright and breezy mechanic, Kaylee.” …<\/p>\n

MGM: Close Up: David Hewlett (June 3)<\/a> – “David Hewlett, the actor behind the ever-irritating and indeed, irritated, Dr. Rodney McKay, is enjoying his first period of “down time” since filming on Stargate Atlantis’ fifth season began. According to Hewlett, McKay is having quite a time of it this year — and he’s happy to tell us all about it.” …<\/p>\n

Be aware that there may be spoilers for Season Five episodes in these articles.<\/p>\n

If the pattern continues, the next interview can be expected to be published on June 10.<\/p>\n

Season Five is scheduled to premiere July 11 at 10pm ET\/PT on the SCI FI Channel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
