Episode 132 Fallen
A revelation by Jonas leads SG1 to a long abandoned Ancient world which is now inhabited by a non-technological society who have one surprising resident, a visitor to their world who arrived sky clad and void of memory. Upon returning to the SGC the situation in regards to Anubis and his super starship weapons system is addressed with the F302 and it’s hyperdrive system circumventing the shielding and a death run towards a thermal exhaust port which leads to the cooling systems of the power core. Meanwhile the two boys go skipping and laughing throughout the ship dodging guards and working in tandem with the F302 but disaster strikes and Anubis once again pulls the rabbit out of the hat.
Recognise the Shoulder?
Welcome to Fallen the premiere episode of season 7 in which we see the full time return of Michael Shanks playing Daniel Jackson and the continuation of the battle between Anubis and the combined efforts of the SGC and the Systems Lords. Fallen is a quite a mix in terms of out and out action which is pretty impressive and a lot of talking heads first to convince Daniel he belongs at the SGC and then Jonas and Daniel together working things out, both make enjoyable scenes but it’s the uber CGI fest which is the shape of things to come for this season.

Season 6 Wrap Up Show
Welcome to the The Gatecast Stargate SG1 season 6 wrap up show in which Alan and Mike and special guest Colin (Trek News & Views host) talk about the sixth season, the good the bad and the cheesy. The results of our season 6 poll will be included as Stargate fans grade the episodes and lets not forget the Indeed count.
Huge thanks for all the feedback over this last season of The Gatecast, Facebook has been a excellent resource but perhaps Twitter has provided the biggest exposure boost even though it’s not ideal for anything other than immediate feedback. We included three promos in this weeks show and a big thanks to all those involved in Tuning Into Scifi Tv, The Scifi Diner and Trek News & View and of course everyone else who released promos for their podcasts and big thanks to those podcasts that have played ours:)
Next week we start on the seventh season of Stargate SG1 with Fallen and the return of a familiar character.

IMDB
Also today Amy Sloan (Leda in SG1: Icon) and Gavin Hood (Alexi Vaselov in SG1: Lockdown)
celebrate their births.
Birthdays (May 6th) Kavan J Smith
A very happy birthday to Kavan J Smith for Sunday 6th May.
Kavan has guest starred and had recurring roles on numerous scifi genre shows and tv/dvd movies, he always delivers a fun performance and right now is one of the great characters on Eureka. He also comes across as both a guy you would be very happy to drink with but also to keep away from your sister or even gf/missus, he’s too good looking by half.
Stargate SG1/Stargate Atlantis: Major Evan Lorne
Eureka: Deputy/Sheriff Andy
BSG: Lt. Richard ‘Buster’ Bayer
Sanctuary: Joe Kavanaugh/Cavanaugh
The 4400: Jed Garrity
Also on the 6th Carlos Lauchu who played Anubis in the Stargate theatrical movie celebrates his birthday.
Stargate SG-1 Series 3: Part 1 – Big Finish
“A shooting in the heart of Stargate Command is only the beginning for Daniel Jackson and Vala Mal Doran. Suddenly it’s friend against friend, none of their allies can be relied upon and they’re the universe’s only hope to foil the latest scheme concocted by the last System Lord, Ba’al.
Will Daniel, Vala and a few of Vala’s less than savoury friends be enough to stop a conspiracy that reaches deep into the heart of Stargate Command and threatens to destroy everything they’ve spent years building?”
What more could you ask for than Michael Shanks, Claudia Black and Cliff Simon performing the only Stargate we are going to get for a while. There is a trailer on the site so have a listen and imagine a world where the TV franchise is alive and well.
Stargate SG-1 Series 3: Part One – Stargate – Big Finish
Episode 131 Full Circle
Daniel Jackson the ascended one once again makes a surprise visit to Jack and brings a warning about Anubis and his interest in Abydos. Anubis plans to attack the planet which was once under the control of Ra and search for a mystical piece of technology called the Eye of Ra which he believes is hidden on that world. Jack admits to General Hammond and the rest of SG1 he has now met and talked to the ascended Daniel on two occasions which kinda makes Tealc feel better and not so crazy and surprisingly the General doesn’t bat an eye and once more the mission is a go.
On arriving on Abydos the team splits with two goals in mind and while Tealc leads the defence of the Great Pyramid with some of Abydonians the rest of SG1 along with Skaara search the many rooms deep within the structure in the hopes of finding the Eye and ultimately denying it to Anubis.
Energy saving bulbs my *%"*
Full Circle was intended to be final tv episode of the series with the story continuing in movie form but that was not meant to be (at for the time being) and the seventh season was ordered allowing the consequences of Anubis and Daniel’s actions to play out over 22 episodes. The events which lead to their confrontation and the fallout are built slowly in the episode and even when you know that is the endgame it’s still takes a surprising turn.
Fish in a barrel
As always the desert world Abydos is wonderfully created using the famed sand pit location and matt paintings including the daddy which is the great pyramid, the show really has got this world down to perfection and we even have two uber special effects sequences that will knock your socks off. The first is a pure CGI feast for the eyes as Anubis and the System Lords do battle and the second is a traditional practical effect with some icing as a $100,000 model pyramid is blown up. The visuals aside the key elements of the story revolve around the revelation of Anubis and the who the Ascended beings are which along with a tablet found in the pyramid lay the ground work which eventually leads to a treasure trove of technology and possibilites.
The world biggest candle.
This weeks promo is from The Scaper Chronicles and next week we will be presenting our Season 6 wrap up show. Season 7 of Stargate SG1 is nearly upon us so get the feedback ready, it’s going to be a wild and fun ride especially if you lean towards the spaceship side of scifi.

Brad Wright
Kneel before Brad Wright the maestro behind the Stargate TV franchise.
Brad celebrates his birthday today (May 2nd). He co-created Stargate SG1 (with Jonathan Glassner) and then went onto to co-create Atlantis and Universe both with Rob C Cooper. He is Canadian which we don’t hold against him (joking:) ) and his early work includes The Outer Limits and Poltergeist The Legacy. He produces, writes and on two occasions acted in front of the camera.
RIP Joel Goldsmith
Condolences and respect to the friends and family of Joel Goldsmith the creator of the vast majority of the music used in the Stargate franchise who passed away yesterday (29th April) at the far too early age of 54. He was the son of the respected composer Jerry Goldsmith (Trek Composer) and his vision of Stargate has helped make the show what it is today.
