SGA interviews

First with Robert Picardo. I loved this part:

TVGuide.com: Did you bond with any in particular in the cast?
Picardo: The cast was very welcoming to me and they're all unique individuals — a fun group. Joe Flanigan (Maj. John Sheppard) teased me a lot about being his new "lady" on the show because my two predecessors were both female. And David Hewlett — I pride myself on being kind of a funny guy; I like to crack people up on set. But, David Hewlett left me in the dust. He's a very funny man. But both Jewel (Staite, Dr. Keller) and Rachel (Luttrell, Teyla) I got to know a little better because I hung out with them more. At Comic-Con, Jewel and I were paired up doing a lot of the press and Rachel had me over for dinner early on.

It's funny that Joe Flanigan teased both Robert Picardo and David Hewlett about them being his "women" XD

And with David Hewlett. I think his response to this question sums up my problem with the McKeller ship:

TVGuide.com: Good to know because she said kissing you [on the show] was kind of torturous because you're more like a brother.
Hewlett: (Laughs) OK, that's kind of true! We're kind of like Statler and Waldorf from The Muppet Show. You know, the two old guys in the top balcony? That's basically Jewel and I on set. Basically the ones standing there cutting up everybody on set and saying how stupid our jobs, our lives and the world is. And, we take great glee in that and usually end up cracking each other up and hopefully the people around us as well. But all the sudden [the producers] said, "You guys are in a relationship." And we were like, "What?!" The best way, honestly, to do a romantic scene in anything is to be introduced to them and then [directly] in the scene. So there's no time to be... (Awkward.)

The decision that McKay and Keller were in a relationship was so sudden that not even the actors noticed any "courting" between the characters at all. Bad writing.

So, tonight, they air the last episode of the show. From the promo, it'll be great - or at least I hope so, you never know with the writers this season (I thought I would love Remnants and I ended up hating that ep, and I was convinced that Prodigal would be boring and it's my favorite ep of the 2nd half of the season!). I'm looking forward to it, really, but at the same time, I'm dreading it. I'm afraid that there's no chance that it could live up to my expectations. And it's the last episode of the whole show and I hate going in knowing it...

"You guys are in a relationship." And we were like, "What?!"

*shakes head* That is terrible! You would have thought they would have asked the actors what they thought.

P.S. Love the new layout, it makes me feel all healthy ^_^!

It's just that if even the actors playing the characters didn't notice any relationship of the deeper kind then someone just wrote it wrong.

And glad you like the layout. It's so cold and bleak outside that I needed something warm and fun :)
