This ATLANTIS Actor was About to Have a BIGGER Role (Dial the Gate)

[@GateWorldDotNet]

THANKS FOR WATCHING! "Dial the Gate" also sat down recently with ATLANTIS co-star Rachel Luttrell, who talks about Teyla ... and what she thinks of the show's final episode. Here's a clip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGGrZ4ewgt19obc

I remember noticing how Amelia got more lines and screen time towards the end. I'm sure we missed out on a bunch of cool stories! Atlantis went off the air we so much potential left on the table it's almost tragic.

[@aliengranpa]

I expected at least 1 Atlantis movie for YEARS after the finale..it just seemed obvious. Same for sgu..those poor people are still in those tubes!😂

[@drewmcdonald1077]

Patrick Fluck it because of ratings not enough people watching it.

[@alexojeda9048]

It's not tragic, it's criminal

[@khaansulu5695]

I did notice that too, Ronan was becoming interested in her

[@Tranefine]

It is the main cast who carries the story. But it is the supporting actors forming the environment!

I want to sincerely send a huge THANK YOU to you David and everyone involved in producing this Dial the Gate KZbin series. It's thoroughly entertaining and informative and for us massive SG fans a huge insight into the history of the shows we love. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[@GateWorldDotNet]

Thanks so much for your comment, CC!

[@PetarNNenkovski]

Its nice to see more of the "background" people and characters talk more. We rarely get their stories their impression or stories of the day-to-day stuff and the multiple story ideas that they were going to be a part of in later seasons if the show continued.

@@GateWorldDotNet I've been an avid watcher of the Gate, across all it's world's, for many a moon! Adore. Your work really needs to be extras on future physical releases. I always learn something from ya. Kinda dreading what Amazon have planned. I hope they give Brad's ideas some thought. Please keep us informed. See you on the other side ❤️🎬

She was also a Replicator, she was in the control room of the Replicator tower when the team stole a ZPM, when she said they were almost through the Anri-Replicator field, Oberoth captured Dr Weir, after she trapped him in an illusion

I remember that "Amelia" started getting more time, the kick boxing moment on the show was great, thank you Sharon for being part of one of my fave series ever.

[@michaelcarney6280]

Wish Atlantis had went on longer so Amelia had gotten a bigger role she was great always enoyed when she got some lines and screen time.

[@teresamc1337]

I was glad Sharon Taylor was doing great and had they plans for her but I always wonder why Chuck the Tech didn't get more credit or more bigger scenes. He was there for all 5 seasons.

[@Harkeilla]

Glad they gave Lorne more of a supporting role as the series picked up from season 2 and there was also that technician guy from SG1 who did a lot of his own stunts

"Well oiled machine" that is what I LOVED about Atlantis. It was THEE ONLY spin off in history to feel seamless from the original

[@mahatmarandy5977]

I would love to know how much she knows about where her character was going. I'm sure they've told her a bit more than she let on here, even if it wasn't completely worked out they did have a pretty detailed outline for season six. Probably wasn't gonna be anything earth shattering, but I feel like it probably would have been important for Ronan's character development. Shepherd had Lorne and Rodney had Radick, both of their right hands outside of the team itself, it would've been interesting to see something like that for Ronan, particularly if it wasn't romantic which it seems honest certain it would have

[@gilly9666]

I just finished watching Atlantis and thought she was going to get a bigger part shame on mgm for pulling the plug 😡

[@Eidolon1andOnly]

Not really MGM's fault, but rather the poor ratings forcing the Sci Fi/Syfy channel (owned by NBC Universal) to pull the plug.

[@Kafei2006]

Am I the only one to think that Sharon Taylor and actress Maggie Q look very much alike? (I only mean physically). I had to look up the cast roll for Die Hard 4 because I could have sworn it was Sharon Taylor in there (in the role of Mai Linh). But of course it wasn't.

[@benw9949]

This is something I wish all series shows would do better: Give more bits to the supporting cast, fill out their characters more, use them better. In the Stargate shows and many other great sci-fi and fantasy franchises, we get some neat supporting characters, and fans love them. We'd love to see them used more. This is how it would work in a real setting.

I fukn loved stargate when i was young .i remember watchin the fifth race when it first came out...fukn anubis whsitling amazing grace..class

[@vaniellys]

The reason why I prefer SGA over SG-1 was because the secondary and tertiary characters were more active.

[@hoshireed77]

But SG-1's secondary characters had or illicited the best lines... Maybourne, you're an idiot every day of the week! Couldn't you have taken one day off?

[@hawkins55]

I respectfully disagree. Almost all the female Goa'uld hosts looked gorgeous! Ba'al was very handsome. Other system lords were colorful! Many off-world humans were also good looking! Even the Asgards looked cute, etc. ,etc.

[@hoshireed77]

@@hawkins55 Interesting definition of "active" you have. Though I think the OP had in mind how active the characters are in actual plot, and not what you envision with your "active" imagination and libido. I don't think anyone but you consider looks as a part of what make a "bigger role" for a character.

[@hawkins55]

@Hoshi Reed Haha!😅I just can't read. Got a dull imagination also. Nothing to do with libido. 😂. Still like SG1 more. It had the advantage of 10 seasons to develop the both main characters & some secondary characters and the back stories. The mythology also seemed more richly built. Love the way secondary characters get recurring appearances in different adventures.

[@hoshireed77]

@@hawkins55 I prefer SG1 too. The characters have great build up and quotes, which to me is better than screen time "active". Mayborne and Ba'al weren't around a lot but you wanted to strangle them anyways. Yeah, I wanted to strangle Kavanagh too but he was less "active" and was just there to annoy.

[@MMC-jp1gl]

I thought is odd that a secondary character like Amelia who only got a nod from Woolsey every so often jumped up so quick to the main team at the last shot of the series. It would have made sense at the end of a regular episode or if the next season were in the bag but to end it with that seemed off and yes a sign of things to potentially come. Although I am glad to hear that Ronan finally got a love interest...poor thing:+( God bless~

*Grunt work is what enlisted men do* in the Air Force... Except in the AF they slowly move up the ranks.

[@JithinJacob333]

I really would have loved to see where Amelia and Ronan would have gone together. They definitely would have had a few 'steamy' workout sessions that would lead to more steamy 'workout' sessions.

[@FekLeyrTarg]

At least her character returned in the Legacy Novels.

Rodney was the best. Sheppard was the king. Ronon was the action.

[@Bob-Fields]

I generally lose interest in sci-fi if the characters pair off/ get romantic. If a romance becomes 'important' to the story, I won't consume it. It's ok if it's far removed from the main idea and one can skip it, but if a character's romance can't be ignored, then I will leave it. Romance in SG-1 was incidental and far removed. The idea of romance in the last seasons of Atlantis was not beneficial.

[@wankim1]

I recently finished Atlantis again…almost forgot that she was about to have a bigger role. Shame it ended when it did.
