The maquette is from the uber talented minds of Quantum Mechanix, who also created the Starship Enterprise models we showed you last week. And it's just the first of many Stargate figures coming your way. According to the artists,

Teal'c is sculpted as we first meet him in the Stargate SG-1 pilot episode Children of the Gods: First Prime of Apophis and deeply troubled by what he has seen and done in his god's name. That's why, when the humans of the Tau'ri (that's us Earthlings) arrive on the scene, Teal'c rejects a life of obedience to rebel against his master and all Goa'uld.

The Teal'c maquette comes posed in full armor and holding his Jaffa staff weapon, a look of defiance captured in this animation-style statue. He comes standing on a base that is a miniaturized, screen-accurate Stargate replica. Limited to just 1,000 pieces, the Teal'c maquette is hand-painted and hero-sized – standing over 9 inches tall.

Teal'c is going to retail for $89.95 in an edition of 1,000 and is about nine inches tall. I can't wait to see what they have in store for the rest of the crew.

Not that I had my doubts, but it's great to hear that the studio is going ahead with a third SG-1 DVD movie. The first two were pretty solid examples of where Stargate can go (given time and money). I especially enjoyed the character development that happened in Stargate Continuum.

Executive Producer Brad Wright confirmed to Gateworld.net that the movie would most likely begin this year and would continue to be a RDA-centric storyline. Which is exactly what the people want.

But don't worry, Atlantis fans: Producer Joseph Mallozzi promises that the Atlantis movie will also be made. In fact, he's hard at work on the script right now, with Paul Mulli, and hopes to have the draft done this April with a potential production in the fall. So thank goodness for that - I need a McKay fix.

All that's left is settling on a title, which I leave in your hands.

That's right, a Lego replica of the Asgard Beliskner Battleship from Stargate is being sold on EBAY.

According to the artist, it took 3 months to complete and thousands or pieces. (They didn't count.)

FANS OF THE SHOW KNOW THAT THE BELISKNER WAS THE FLAGSHIP OF THE ASGARD FLEET IN STARGATE SG-1 UNTIL IT BURNED UP IN EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE. AFTER WATCHING THE SERIES I KNEW THAT I HAD TO BUILD THE SHIP OUT OF LEGOS, THE THE RESULT WAS A INCREDIBLY LARGE AND DETAILED SHIP THAT MEASURED FIVE FEET LONG, SIX FEET WIDE, AND TWO FEET HIGH.

It is available for pick up in Highland Park, Illinois which means, mom and dad, that next years Christmas gift is just a car ride away! The "buy it now" price is $3,500.00

Continuum takes off where the last DVD Stargate Ark Of Truth left off. The great and powerful Ba'al has been captured by the human Stargaters, and now it's time for his extraction (i.e. execution). The SG-1 staff gathers to watch the demise of the ultimate enemy, including some guy that looks like he ate General Jack O’Neill. In his last words Ba'al explains, in that charming alien manner, that they all will be sorry. Within moments annoying SG member Vala and everyones favorite Jaffa, Teal'c, vanish into thin air. Baal gets loose and stabs O'Neil in the heart, but not before O'Neil squeezes a few awkward zingers into the conversation (I call them O'Neill-isms).

The SG-1 shit is hitting the fan and all of a sudden buildings and people start to disappear. Dr. Daniel Jackson, Col. Cameron Mitchell and Col. Samantha Carter jump through the gate leaving fat O'Neill to die alone. The three are then transported into snowy Arctic. The crew is now in a new world where no one has heard of Stargate, there is no Stargate and Carter, Mitchell and Jackson are simply a pack of crazy idealists.

Apparently Ba'al had a fail safe for his execution and implemented a time traveling Stargate device that brought him back in time to intercept the ship that brought America it's Stargate artifact back in 1939 aboard the Achilles (who was Captained by Mitchell's great-great grand daddy or Mitchell in old man makeup). His actions put our heroes in an alternate time line. Also, since they were in the gate during the change their memories aren't altered and neither are their time lines (that's SG-1 logic for you).

Almost every character has either been eradicated or altered and now the plot centers around Carter, Mitchell and Jackson. Finally Stargate attempts to take interest with its characters. Each character is slumped in depression, living in a world that won't believe them with people that don't recognize them. It's especially endearing to watch Mitchell longingly yearn for his family and farm city roots (Ba'al ended up destroying his family and thus his existence by intercepting the Achilles). It's also entertaining to watch a hapless Jackson make unlisted phone calls to his altered state self (now a discredited UFO chaser) encouraging him not to give up.

Plus there's a veritable parade of cameos from a beaten and down trodden Apophis (including the return of his terrible hat), Kronos, Yu, Major Davis, Hammond, and President Hayes. It was a little bitter sweet seeing General Hammond on screen with his recent passing, but he still was adorable father figure even for the brief moment he was on (even if he didn't recognize his people).

Of course Ba'al returns to Earth to conquer and enslave with his bride Qetesh and new first prime Teal'c and it's up to the remaining SG-1 crew (now discredited and disjointed) to bring down his massive army of Jaffa.

Nothing goes as planned, like it ever would on Stargate, but the plot is fun and you find yourself rooting for Mitchell. The time traveling aspect allowed the writers to take gigantic liberties including killing off nearly every character, taking Jackson's leg in the snowy wilderness, and letting crazy Qetesh unleash hell on her unsuspecting King.

But of course as all things time travel, everything goes back to the way it should be but a few of the cast members are a little wiser for wear. All in all Continuum is a great watch for SG-1 fans. But if you haven't been researching the ins and outs of the Go'auld you may not understand why a lady in love would kill her hubby in order to blow up a planet. Or why that may not mean that person is dead after all (remember Ba'al has like 1,000 clones). So unless your ready to explain years of ancient mythology to non-gaters I'd save this rental for fans only.

SG-1's producer, Joe Mallozzi shared that his favorite memory of Davis' was watching him work the conventions with fans. Many fans approached the General with trepidation (because of his character) but Davis was always incredibly charming with the fans and won them over immediately. Mallozzi also added that Davis was a true friend and, "had a bigger heart than his character that he played... and will be missed not just by the fans but by everyone who worked with him."

Davis' last Stargate appearance will be in the DVD movie Stargate: Continuum. We'll miss you always setting the crew straight, Don.

Davis' representatives have asked those wishing to make a charitable donation in Davis' name to donate to the American Heart Association.

First question on our minds, now the Teal'c is Ba'al's bitch what does that make Teal'c? We know he's good on the inside, surely he wouldn't be down with Ba'als big plans, Judge clears up the misconceptions.

Well the perception of Teal'c before SG-1 entered the scene was that he was a bad guy, but he had been talking to Bra'tac for years (about rebelling against the evil Goa'uld), but he had to keep the facade of the status quo in order to have these back room machinations going on - so in Continuum it was much the same thing - only Teal'c aligned himself with Ba'al, because Ba'al offered him a chance to free his people. So it's still the same endgame, just a different route to get there.

Judge continues on, raving about the chances for a feature film and past Stargate battles.

Now with Universe coming along, we're at to the point where Stargate is no longer the 'retarded cousin' of the Star Trek franchise, but stands on equal footing. It wasn't ever that we were ever cowed by the Star Trek legacy, but we were always respectful of it. Finally as years went on, and some of the lustre was knocked off the franchise and we stopped being the 'red-headed step child'. [Laughs] It's amazing how we're perceived now. But - one Star Trek movie will bring it all back! [Laughs] But Continuum is not really shot for TV - everything is bigger. It's made to fit BIG screens. The Stargate feature films - it used to be something that was whispered about, but now I know it's being talked about.

But alas Judge knows nothing about Stargate: Universe because even if he's close friends with the men behind the machine, they won't reveal a thing. [Sci-Fi]
