The latest issue of TV Guide, now out in the US, features a new interview with Star Trek Voyager and Stargate Atlantis actor Robert Picardo, who tells the magazine "I [still] remember that TV Guide cover that said, 'Forget Star Trek. Now Stargate is the Most Popular Sci-Fi Show on TV!" Here are few excerpts from the brief interview.
Describe Woolsey.
He's a bureaucrat trying to reinvent himself as a leader. We've seen examples in various governments where that hasn't always succeeded. He's a Monday-morning quarterback who is now on the field.
How does Atlantis compare to Voyager?
Trek is probably more cerebral and philosophical. Stargate does seat-of-the-pants adventure and humor better. Having done both, it's great to be a part of more freewheeling storytelling.
Any pet peeves about space?
[On Trek], my pet peeve was there were no zippers. Or pockets! On Stargate, I not only have pockets, but I have four or even six! [Laughs]
The full interview can be found on the latest issue of TV Guide, now on sale.
ACED Magazine also posted an interview with Picardo, in which he talks about Trek and Atlantis. Here are few excerpts.
Regarding how the Trek fans will react to his new role, he explained "Because the fan base is so loyal, they like seeing an actor that they know from one show take on another role in another of their favorite shows."
"Plus, while they're both sci-fi shows, nobody could really mix up Stargate: Atlantis with Star Trek: Voyager. Atlantis, I think, does action/adventure extremely well, but most importantly, to me, it has this sort of breezy humor, this ability to wink at the genre that Star Trek cannot have," said Picardo.
