From Farscape to Stargate

I do! I do! I do! It's just 10 seasons...
Just a coincidence? Okay, but can the scriptwriters actually resist from bringing in some jibes? In Farscape BB and CB played a couple.  Anyway - thanx!

Isn't it coincidence too so SG1 is going to be cancelled just as Farscape did? Blame on BB & CB?

Hehe
You should put that quote in the quotes thread, migs...

Nice find indeed

Ben Browder and Claudia Black were just a coincidence and they both fitted the intended roles very well, the casting people knew they worked well together so they cast them.

If you notice, when Vala is leaving the SGC for the first or second time (the time where Daniel asks her to be searched in the Gate Room) the coat she wears there or holds there is very similar to the coat she wore in Farscape (black leather and metal clasps). A small callback if I'm not mistaken which was intentional according to a website I saw a few years back.

I'm a big fan of Farscape and SG-1, but since both were effectively ended without proper endings I was left disheartened. However this hasn't stopped me from re-watching both shows start to end more than 5 times each. Plus it helped me pick out flaws in some of the episodes like in one episode of SG-1 the gate is dialed and a Al'kesh is attacking the other side of the gate to clear the way for SG-1 but as the Al'kesh makes its second pass the gate is not active but radios to the SGC. Also when Jack is in the 'gravity cell' the indicator on the left of the screen doesn't always align properly. Also a big one in Lost City part 2, where the drones are being fired from the outpost Prometheus sets a collision course with Anubis' ship but before impact Prometheus veers left, but in the next scene it is seen veering right.

I could go on, but I'm digressing from the original point of the thread.

Also, make sure you see the direct to DVD movies as well, they do sort of finish off the series but not particularly well...

Well, I don't know about SG-1, but The Peacekeeper Wars is amazing, it's beyond that, you don't think it's a proper ending for Farscape?

I know the thread is from, like, 2006, but just so my first post isn't offtopic, it's a coincidence. Both Claudia and Ben were cast for Stargate way before season 8/9, but they both were busy filming The Peacekeeper Wars, the producers had called Claudia a few times before, but she just couldn't make it, and Ben had to play John Shepard on SGA. But, as I said, they were busy filming The Peacekeeper Wars during the eight season of SG-1. Claudia was doing some voiceover work for PW when they called her for Prometheus Unbound, she said she couldn't do it, but will call them again if she finishes it sooner than expected, and, thankfully, she did, so she got to Vancouver the day before shooting Prometheus Unbound. And Ben came on season 9 as Mitchell since he couldn't make it for Atlantis, thank God. I'm not much of a fan of Atlantis.

I love both Stargate SG-1 and Farscape, and I thought it would be a problem for me watching Farscape after SG-1, because I'm a huge fan of Daniel/Vala. It was never a problem, I just couldn't believe how different Aeryn is from Vala, it's like that's not the same actress, unbelievable. I love both John/Aeryn and Daniel/Vala, I never saw any part of the chemistry there was between Aeryn and John on Farscape between Vala and Mitchell on Stargate, she was all over Daniel, and it's so strange, because you could see how Ben looks at Claudia on interviews or conventions, just like John looks at Aeryn, his eyes saying "I'm here, I will catch you if you fall" and with all the love in the world, amazing, and there's none of that on Stargate.

I just love them.
