Stargate’s fan remain on tenterhooks because in addition to all the cast changes, Richard Dean Anderson has not yet committed to any guest appearances in Season 9. His character General Jack O’Neill will remain an integral part of the Stargate universe, stepping up to command Homeworld Security, even in absentia.<\/p>\n
However, much more welcome news has emerged from the official Stargate SG-1 Creation Convention this weekend. Stars Michael Shanks and Christopher Judge made memorable appearances at a breakfast for Stargate fans and then Shanks let slip some spoilers for the new season during his Q&A panel onstage.<\/p>\n
While executive producer Joseph Mallozzi shared with fans on the Gateworld.net forum that Season 9 would be kicking off with a three-part episode, Michael Shanks teased con attendees with hints about the major new enemy SG-1 will be facing – the Orii<\/b> – a group of evil Ascended beings (confirmed for Solutions by a production source). The name of these new enemies is pronounced ‘or-eye’. Shanks also confirmed that Season Nine would be delving deeply into Avalon and Arthurian mythology. <\/p>\n
Shanks was also asked how Daniel will react to Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell, played by Ben Browder, being his new C.O. In response, Shanks made mention of the fact that he wasn’t really his C.O., and said there was a running joke about his and Ben’s physical similarities. <\/p>\n
Oh, and Christopher Judge is threatening to welcome Ben Browder to the set by saran-wrapping the toilet in his trailer…<\/p>\n
Shanks also broke amazing news: his wife Lexa Doig, of Andromeda fame, auditioned for a part in Stargate SG-1 and has been cast by producers in a recurring role which will see her working very closely with accomplished veteran actor Beau Bridges, who will be playing General Hank Landry.
