STARGATE SG-1/CRIMSON FORCE STARGATE SG-1 fans will enjoy tonight's SCI FI original movie CRIMSON FORCE -- Tony Amendola, Master Bra'tac stars. "Primarily, CRIMSON FORCE is about the looking towards space and the natural resources of other planets as a way of serving our needs for power sources or energy sources," Amendola said in an interview. "I think that's the argument that applies to the modern world, in a way. My character lives on a planet that has been scouted out and has been determined to contain amazing resources. Of course, a government-slash-corporate agency [from Earth] comes over and tries to colonize it, tries to find some way to get the resources off of the planet. You don't really know this going in. My character is a priest, and this planet I'm on is at a pivotal point, because they have to decide how to deal with the outside world. Do they take a militaristic approach? Do they remain isolated and hidden? You've also got a strange situation with a priest caste and a warrior caste. My wife in the story is of a different mindset. She's of a warrior class, and the notion of this whole marriage was all about reconciling those two factions and creating a kind of peace. So the arrival of the Earth force sets off a real problem." CRIMSON FORCE also stars C. Thomas Howell and David Chokachi. It debuts Saturday, June 4, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

TV Zone #190: STARGATE ATLANTIS: With the second season of the series looming on the horizon,
veteran Stargate director and co-producer Martin Wood talks about some of what we can expect to see. Wood
has quite a history with STARGATE. He first came on board STARGATE with "Solitudes" in the first season. Since
then, he’s directed more than 50 Stargate adventures, including several instalments of its sister series Stargate
Atlantis. It’s been quite a memorable experience for him in more ways than one. Also in this issue, Battlestar Galactica
co-executive producer and writer Toni Graphia explains how the hit Sci-Fi show is set to explore darker territory in its
second season as the Cylon menace spreads
COMIC BOOKS
SPIKE ONE-SHOT IDW Publishing has released additional details about Spike: Old Times, a 48-page one-shot in August featuring the character from the Angel television series.
Here's how IDW describes the book, which is written by Peter David and drawn by Fernando Goni: "I always figured the business of having Spike and Halfrek 'recognize' each other in the episode 'Older and Far Away' was nothing but an in-joke shout-out to actress Kali Rocha's having played both Halfrek and, in the previous season's episode Fool for Love, Spike's lost love, Cecily," David said. "But in the Whedon-verse, there's no such thing as an in-joke that can't be milked for all it's worth. And I figured there was plenty worth milking here. Quite simply, it was an episode that I wanted to see, and since it can't ever be done by Mutant Enemy, writing the story myself is the next best thing
