Ben Browder Joining Stargate SG-1 Cast

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the will-he-bring-1812 dept.

Ananamous Coward writes "Ben Browder, best known as Farscape's John Crichton, will become a SG-1 regular starting from season 9 (yes, there are already rumors about a 10th season), joining the SG-1 team although is role is quite unclear. He will fill the gap left by Anderson who's unlikely to return except for small appearances. Claudia Black, Farscape's Aeryn Sun, is also going to play in a fair number of episodes"

    ... the hot blue chick or the hot powder white chick or the hot red headed chick?. Fuck, they'll probably just bring over the hag with the eye in her forehead as a PC PR move.

  3. I wonder... by Kierthos · · Score: 5, Funny

    Given that in one of the first couple episodes, they mentioned "MacGuyvering" the Stargate's control system and had Anderson glance at Tapping when that line was used, how long do you figure before there's the first Farscape reference in an episode?

      He's going from playing a USAF pilot of an experimental vessel who gains knowledge of wormholes to fight aliens, to a USAF pilot who uses wormholes to fight aliens.

      I think his entire character's a farscape reference.

    It's been on that long! I didn't know that. My girlfriend was a real fan (yes /.'ers, they're out there some where). She got me hooked on the show.

  5. Babylon 6 by nietsch · · Score: 2, Funny

    they should have named it babylon 6 if they wanted 6 episodes. It would only have spread out the inspiration of the screenwriters 20% more.

    ... a cross-dressing transexual pilot named Starbuck.

    The first episode will have Teal'c giving Browder eyeshadow tips.

  7. confusing and distracting by jeif1k · · Score: 4, Funny

    I find it confusing when people start popping up in other shows. I mean, when the holographic doctor from Voyager appears as a government lawyer in SG-1, one kind of expects him to have his emitter fail every minute.

    For movie actors or minor characters, that's not so much of a problem, but for regular cast members, it's weird.

    "I thought Claudia Black's character was too much like Aeryn, but perhaps that's just because she's a really poor actor? ;)"

    If she were a really poor actor they would have made her a character on Stargate Atlantis.
