Torri talks about the (lack of) relationship between Elizabeth and Teyla

I’ve come to the conclusion that this is one of the major problems with Stargate Atlantis. Remember that interview with Amanda Tapping, where after the Pilot of SG1 was shot she went to the writers and basically said, ‘look, women don’t talk like this’ re the reproductive organs speech? They took it on board, and after that they were very receptive to the actors ideas and thoughts, because it was a new show and new crew/cast. 

But there’s been so many interviews with the SGA cast, where they said, that the writers wouldn’t listen to their ideas for their characters, Torri is very diplomatic here, but there are quite a few Joe Flanigan interviews where he pretty much said they should have gotten a bunch of new writers instead of the same ones from SG1, because when the writers were breaking stories for SGA, more often than not, one would suggest an idea, and someone else would be like, no we did that on SG1. Its something that makes me feel like they were completely burned out on the franchise.

The problem with Stargate Atlantis is that the writers thought they knew better than their actors, who have been literally breathing these characters, while they were writing two shows, and probably caring more about SG1 than SGA. A good writer would listen to ideas from their actors, the only people who care about this character, as much as, if not more than them. Maybe the writers wouldn’t agree with their ideas, but they should listen to them, and say ‘hey you know that wouldn’t work because x and y’. It fosters a relationship of trust, which watching interviews with some SGA actors, they did not have with the cast.

SG-1 - Teal’c and Daniel

s03e21 Crystal Skull

So unrelated but I will be forever indebted to amanda tapping for crying in her trailer after a day of filming stargate sg-1 and telling the producers/showrunner etc. that she was gonna have to quit because the male writers were writing her character so terribly. my queen had to tell them that strong women don’t say things like “just because my reproductive organs are on the inside instead of the outside doesn’t mean I can’t handle whatever you can handle” and they actually listened to her and changed the scripts and then years later made fun of their own bad writing by putting that line into an au episode meant only to show how stupid it sounded. she truly changed the world and we are blessed for it.

Why would they buy all the live ammunition? Were they unloading it to make blank rounds? Is that more cost effective than just hiring a company that specializes is blank firing weapons to work some magic?

>he thinks Stargate was fictional

To actually answer the question, since 5.7 was a new caliber, no blank manufacturers were making it. So yes, it was cheaper and more feasible to unload the live rounds to make blanks.
