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"

    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?

      I'm still waiting for Captain Jonathan Archer to mutter "Oh boy" when he finds himself in a precarious situation...

      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.

    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.

    Dear MacGuyver,

    Enclosed is a toothpick, some dental floss and twist-tie. Please save Stargate SG-1.
