Cooper. Bamford, stunt coordinator, says that there has been fight sequences filmed for each day of filming for this episode! He&#8217;s excited about the story and impressed with Cooper&#8217;s writing and directing. According to him, &#8220;This episode is like nothing that has ever been done on SG1 or ATLANTIS&#8230;ever&#8230;..ever&#8230;.never&#8230;..before. Unreal.&#8221; Bamford is also excited because he gets to make an appearance as a Wraith &mdash; one with a limp, no less! (<i>SG-1<\/i> viewers might remember Bamford&#8217;s performance as a Human Form Replicator in &#8220;New Order Part 2&#8221;, the first to be destroyed by Jack&#8217;s disruptor gun.) Filming on &#8220;Sateda&#8221; is due to wrap today, March 20.<\/p>\n<p>Dropping the names of guest stars is one feature among many of Alex Levine&#8217;s blog. He enjoyed letting one name slip: &#8220;This season, get ready for more excitement in the Pegasus Galaxy &mdash; new villains, new guest stars (Richard Kind!), new stories.&#8221; Richard Kind played Dr. Gary Meyers in <i>Stargate<\/i> (the movie). It was his translation of the coverstone that Daniel immediately corrected on the chalkboard. Although Dr. Meyers was a bit offended, he was in awe of Daniel&#8217;s grasp of Egyptian hierglyphs. But, Levine mentioned Kind&#8217;s appearance in conjunction with <i>Stargate Atlantis<\/i>, so it is possible that he is not re-creating his role from the movie. Levine didn&#8217;t say which episode Kind was appearing in.<\/p>\n<p>Both bloggers are also in awe of <i>Atlantis&#039;s<\/i> executive producer and co-creator Robert C. Cooper&#8217;s performance as both writer and director of &#8220;Sateda&#8221;. Bamford states, &#8220;Robert Cooper has always been a creative writer, knowing what he wants to see at all times&#8230;as a director, this man rivals John Woo, Tony Scott, Michael Mann&#8230;and its a TV series!!! I&#8217;m not writing that because the guy is my boss&#8230;that&#8217;s not like me. The visuals contained within this episode will surely entertain the fans and non-fans alike!! I can&#8217;t wait to see this cut together with all the bells and whistles to boot.&#8221; Levine, script coordinator, stated pretty much the same thing, &#8220;Meanwhile Rob Cooper has his director&#8217;s hat on and is shooting some of the most exciting footage I&#8217;ve ever seen on a Stargate show. He&#8217;s using different kinds of media &mdash; even a hand-cranked Bolex, shooting on 16mm &mdash; to give some depth to the flashback storyline. &quot;Sateda&quot; is going to be one action-packed blockbuster of an episode. Think John Woo action on acid. Strap yourself in for that one.&#8221;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0454236\/\">IMDB: Richard Kind<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gateworld.net\/blogs\/bamford\/index.shtml\">James Bamford&#8217;s Blog at GW (March 19, 2006)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.scifi.com\/stargate\/\">Alex Levine&#8217;s Blog at SciFi.com (March 17, 2006)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blogs tell the story Stargate Atlantis&#8216;s third season has been filming, and there are some interesting pieces of insider info coming from the blogs of James Bamford and Alex Levine.
