labellementeuseSo, Jason Momoa's Gateworld interview is interesting. And illuminating. and
I'd pretend like I have lots to say under here but I don't (except that he's totally right that there shouldn't be a love triangle including McKay and Ronon. OTOH, I really think Keller is Ronon's type and I'd LOVE to see them together!) OK, no, what I really want to say is: So, Joe Mallozzi stands up and says "Oh, we didn't DELIBERATELY cast skinny and totally gorgeous girls" for Whispers (the horro episode.) this is how Jason Momoa describes the pitch:
So... as early in the writing process that they didn't even know it was Carson... they knew the "chicks" were going to be hot.
OKAY THEN.
You know what else is funny? Sub in "people of colour" for "aliens" and - ooh, same result! Or, hey, sub in "having ridiculous shit forced on my hair by producers" for "wigs" and you get to include Chris Judge, too! Funny how the only alien who didn't have freaky shit done to his hair was... Corin Nemec. Funny peculiar. (What else is peculiar? Wiki says Nemec's a scientologist. Um. I'm a little squicked out now.)

"Whispers" is a bunch of hot chicks with Paul McGillion and Joe Flanigan. Which originally I heard, when they first started the season, they're like, "Oh, yeah! It's going to be a great episode. It's you, Joe Flanigan, and all these hot chicks!"
I'm like "OK, cool, right on." And then they moved it to Paul.
So... as early in the writing process that they didn't even know it was Carson... they knew the "chicks" were going to be hot.
OKAY THEN.
It's funny ... all the aliens have wigs.

Date: 2008-06-14 03:56 am (UTC)Unfortunately re: the badness of love triangles, Hewlett did an interview recently talking about how there is going to be one and how funny and cool that is, which, *facepalm*. He also talked about how McKay is "incapable of having normal relationships" - uh, what? Define "normal".
Unless he meant "heterosexual", in which case, sure.no subject
Date: 2008-06-14 11:05 pm (UTC)Sure, it's just the total fucking insincerity/lack of introspection/full-on misleading "oh we're such great guys" - like, I would have preferred it if he'd been like, well, you know, unfortunately those are the beauty standards of the industry. To INSTEAD get all het up and go WAH WAH WE'RE NOT MISOGYNISTS WE JUST CAST FOR ACTING TALENT is just so fucking... ARGH. Goddamnit.
Yeah, I don't know, I think the whole idea is fucking stupid. What's the difference between Keller and Brown, other than the fact that Jewel Staite and David Hewlett do sort-of have chemistry? It seems so artificial and, like, completely contrary to who McKay is ACTUALLY attracted to, see: smart, hot Air Force (Lt.) Colonels. Not that Katie and Jennifer aren't smart and hot, I just think they lack that confident air that Carter (and hey... Sheppard...) have in bags.
