We are pleased to welcome the return of Tor Valenza to explore more stories from "Point of View" and "Past and Present" to "Urgo" and "Divide and Conquer!"

When Stargate SG-1 went into its ninth season it very nearly became Stargate Command. Executive Producer, Writer and Director Robert C Cooper is back to share that story and many others from the last two years of the show.

We never felt we got enough of actor Christina Cox in Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis, mainly because she made such a mark with her three roles! We are excited to have her on LIVE to talk "T'akaya," "Kershaw," "Teldy" and more!

We don't know what Stargate mythology would be without the Four Great Races, and one of those Races, the Nox, was represented early on in the show's run in an episode of the same name.
