They're not for motion capture they're tracking dots. You guys have the basic idea but those are for tracking motion in 2d in compositing to place the other parts of the suit that need to be rendered. He's wearing the top bit and the hands because those would be the toughest areas to integrate with the plate(the live action image). Also it's better if he wears part of the suit in the plate so there's good reference. It's not that it's cheaper or not as good as mocap, it's really a completely different thing. That's the way you do it.

@MrSpyder: that probably explains the lines, to show orientation and angle of the surface, and not just tracking dots to show movement.

Really, I would totally watch a television series in which the characters from Trainspotting were lost in space on a malfunctioning alien spaceship with only a heroin-dispensing robot for company.

Any guesses on how long Carlyle will last before the producers kill his character off so that they can replace him with a hot, younger female doctor?

On SG-1, they killed off Dr. Frasier and replaced her with Dr. Lam. On Atlantis, they killed off Dr. Beckett so that he could be replaced with Dr. Keller. Apparently, it's Stargate tradition!

@LamontKole: You missed one - this guy's going the same way that Robert Patrick, the star of the pilot, did in the beginning of Atlantis. As in, out the back door, under a cloth.

The single greatest foot chase scene of all time (28 Weeks Later...come on argue with me?? I dare ya =P) and just an all around scum of a character in that same movie. Loved him in it (and his convincing acting performance) and would watch the Stargate nonsense just for him.

@Meredith Woerner: My thinking is that it went like this.

"Rob, oi, it's your agent. We've got you lined up fer Stargate, you in?"

"Fookin 'ell, roight, 's great innit wif the Spock 'nda spaceships 'n Klingins 'n alla dat, 'oo they wan me ta be Scotty? I NEED MORE POWAH! I'll DO IT!"

"um, didn't catch most of that bue Great I'll let them know."

"What the bloody 'ell is Star GATE?!"

@Grrsn Dn: Robert Carlyle is Scottish, he's not some nancyboy southern ponce with a fake Dick Van Dyke Cockernee accent.

It should read like ths

Agent:"Rob, buddy, I got you in the new Stargate TV show, it's gonna be huge, who loves ya?!!!"

Carlyle " Ehhhh, aye, emm, awrite then pal, sounds top , Spock wi the piynty ears anawrat, an Klingons, aye? Big broon neds fae ooter space, aye? So ahm like Scotty, aye, thon dylithyum crystulz cannae take ony mair captin"

Agent "?....., that's awesome Bobby, I got another call coming in, I'll talk to ya soon"

...3 months later

Carlyle: "Fukin StarGATE, whit the fuck?, that's pure pish by the way, pure gash, man"

I still don't understand how Stargate, which was admittedly not a horrible film (although not a great one either) has spawned so much crap.

Yeah, I'm a hater.
