Ben Browder Joining Stargate SG-1 Cast
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"
How will this affect the rumoured Stargate movie that is apparently in planning stages? I don't know about any other fans of the show, but a big budget Stargate film without Anderson in the main role somehow doesn't seem as appealing. Oh well, back to watching old McGyver episodes, I guess...
I'm not stressed. I'm just terribly, terribly alert.
I have to admit that at first, the reason I didn't watch Farscape was just how bizzare it looked. A lot of that had to do with the puppets. But then late one night I found myself looking for something to watch and settled on watching an episode of Farscape. I was hooked. I went back through earlier episodes and really enjoyed the series.
One of the interesting things about the show was its unique environment. And again, a key part of that was the use of puppets. This allowed for the inclusion of races and characters who all didn't look like the same body type with slight variations of facial features (not to take a swipe at other Scifi / fantasy shows).
Of course, that's not to say that SG1 needs puppets.
