Earlier this month, Sanctuary stars Amanda Tapping and Robin Dunne sat down with reporters for an extensive interview.  There was an easy banter between the both of them;  humorous and self-deprecating. From the sound of it, they have a great working relationship that will only grow stronger (both on screen and off) as the second season of Sanctuary takes hold.
On the New Season:
Amanda Tapping: I think because it’s our second season you’re going to see a lot of changes in terms of the interpersonal relationships. I think Season 1 was very much about introducing everybody – introducing the Sanctuary …read more

On Monday, the newly christened Syfy channel (aka SCI FI Channel) held their 2009 Upfront presentation in New York.  Several old familiar faces were there including Battlestar Galactica’s Mary McDonnell, Eureka’s Colin Ferguson and Sanctuary’s Amanda Tapping.
Several new family members were on hand to promote their news shows, such as Eddie McClintock and Joanne Kelly from Warehouse 13. The new series, which premieres this summer is about two Secret Service

agents who are charged with collecting and protecting supernatural and mystical relics. Kind of a softer Friday the 13th, the TV Series.

  After ten seasons on the small screen, the SG-1 crew have made the leap to. . . well. . the small screen, but in a very big way.  “Stargate: The Ark of Truth” is the first in a series of straight-to-DVD movies and it hits store shelves this Tuesday.
With a bigger budget behind them (rumored to be around 7 million) and more time to dedicate to one storyline, the Stargate movies are poised to be grander than ever.  But turning any TV series into a film comes with one inherent problem — how do you keep fans engaged …read more

Stargate Atlantis readies for production on its fifth season.  My how time flies.  It seems like only yesterday when Colonel Samantha Carter took over command of Atlantis and now she’s on her way out.  With Amanda Tapping demoted to “special guest star” status, Robert Picardo will be moving in as top dog in the ancient city.
Richard Woolsey has often been a thorn in the side of Sheppard and the Atlantis team and I imagine he’ll continue to be, forcing our heroes to “adjust to his unique leadership style.”  It worries me and not in a fictional sense.  Piccardo has …read more
