I think that was one of the DVD exclusives
Well I’ve seen it, even if the Americans apparently haven’t yet! It was good to see this behind-the-scenes show, though predictably there wasn’t anything controversial about it – Corin in particular was very sweet about being written out of the show, claiming no bad feelings and that he and Michael got on really well. Yuh-huh.
Great lines:
Martin Wood: “What’s the name of this place?”
Michael Greenburg: “We’re on ... an ancient planet is what it’s called.”
Amanda Tapping: “Ooh! I have a boyfriend who doesn’t die?!”
Amanda Tapping: “All of the actors on the show work incredibly hard – but then there’s Rick.”
Michael Shanks (on location, looking at the behind-the-scenes guys): “The Stargate crew ... these people make this place run and this is the best group of people on the planet; it’s the best crew I’ve ever worked with.”
Cameraman: “What are some of their names?”
Michael: “Umm ... the crew, I dunno – we don’t really talk or anything like that.”
Outtake from Solitudes: Sam to Jack: “You spent seven years on MacGuyver and you can’t figure this one out? We’ve got belt buckles and shoelaces and a piece of gum – build a nuclear reactor, fer cryin’ out loud! You used to be MacGuyver, MacGadget, MacGimmick, now you’re Mr MacUseless! Dear God - I’m stuck on a glacier with MacGuyver!”
I saw it, didn't have any comment on it yet...
All of the Jack outtakes were very funny.
And yep, that outtake from Solitudes had me laughing hysterically!
Apparently this will be released in some form in the UK - on DVD Volume 31 the BBFC website has 'The Lowdown Part 2 of 2' as an extra for the disc - presumably part 1 of 2 is there as well!
More great moments:
Michael Shanks: “Christopher Judge plays Teal’c, who is the stoic alien on the show who wears the STP symbol on his forehead.”
Peter de Luise (talking about the upcoming episode “Orpheus”): “This is a death camp, a labour camp where they actually work rebel Jaffa to death; and to inspire them into working even harder, they grab a couple of the slackers and take them over to the execution pit and they kill them. Which is what I like to do to inspire our crew: once in a while I’ll take a grip, or an electrician, or even a craft service person, and I’ll take them over and then I’ll kill them.”
Peter de Luise (standing in a quarry at night, wrapped up against the cold): “In the end you watch the show and you go, ‘I froze my bag off for that?!”
Amanda Tapping: “The visual effects are spectacular, some of the best on television. Our guys are fantastic. But, you know, we throw a lot of money at them to do that, an inordinate amount of money – some might say too much, other areas of the show suffer. Personally, for example, I get one little tub of hair product (holding her thumb and forefinger an inch apart) at the beginning of the year and it has to last me the whole year.”
Christopher Judge (talking about the CGI effect of the X-303 taking off in “Prometheus”): “There was supposed to be this huge ship, so, y’know, you tell someone ‘huge ship’ - OK, there’s gonna be a big ship. So all of our reactions were kind of, ‘Oh, there’s a huge ship’. So when we saw the episode, this ship was MASSIVE, and our reactions were just, like, (disinterested voice) ‘Oh’. So I think that’s the last time we ever got caught, like, underestimating, cos we just looked dopey.”
Amanda Tapping: “I wanna be funny! When do I get to be funny? I never get to be funny. Sam’s not funny ... damn her!”
(Talking about the writing process)
Paul Mullie: “Nobody ever storms out of the room crying.”
Joseph Mallozzi: “... Except Damian that one time.”
Paul Mullie: “But we won’t talk about that.”
Michael Greenburg: “It’s the best idea wins. If you surround yourself with creative people ... Unfortunately, in this case, we didn’t.”
Damian Kindler: “I’m notorious for pulling out of the air and making it up on the spot, but everyone calls me on it. ‘Uh, there’s no Mayan god named Fred!’ (He looks away and adds quietly) Sure there is!”
Richard Dean Anderson: “(Michael Shanks and I) don’t talk, actually, off camera cos we still really don’t get along. (He grins at the camera) I just thought I’d seed that, see how far that rumour goes!”
Amanda Tapping (in reference to whether there was any bad blood between Michael Shanks and Corin Nemec): “I’m actually not allowed to comment on that particular situation any more. But let me just say that whatever you have read in the press, depending on what it is, is either true, or not true.”
Amanda Tapping: “Season 7 is coming up. I hope you’ll watch, because quite frankly I have nothing else lined up.”
Did you see Teal'c ass move or whatever he called it?

I think that was one of the DVD exclusives
Yes, it was...
Now I thought of that when I saw the music video for SHAKE YA ASS.. Imagine seeing Teal'C and bits of stargate instead of the song's video....
Which DVD was that on?
I have to check.. sorry... I think it was the first season 7 dvd, but I need to check.
The clip about Daniel not knowing the crew's names cracked me up. I still remember that line today and I have only seen the featurette when it first aired. I need to get the 7th season DVD.
