Jewel Staite has landed a new recurring role on Stargate Atlantis, according to her latest update on her Web site.

According to fan site SG1-Atlantis.com, Atlantis actor Joe Flanigan told fans at last weekend's London’s Expo event that Staite will appear in a whopping 13 to 15 episodes in Season Four.

Another BDM in a Stargate related role. At this rate, Firefly will eventually just take over stargate and will have our show back. See, we don't need to start a new series if we just take over an existing one.

I'm just messing around, congratulations Jewel.

13-15 eps? Wow. When I read Jewel's blog she made it sound like a couple of episodes. This is so cool. She must have made quite an impression on the producers to get a run like that. Heck, she'll beat out Morena for number of episodes. Or maybe the SG-1 producers saw how awesome it was to work with a Firefly actor that they had to sign another one right away.

I wonder who she'll play. Maybe a villain. Though I hope not. I hope she plays someone important (and human) who we'll see a lot of.

I think Farscape has dibs on this plan.

It's always nice to see our faves get more work - especially considering how cutthroat Hollywood can be! Hooray for more parts!

And the previews of wash in CSI this Thursday are CREEPY HOLY COW. Wash as a child molester??? *shudders but still plans to watch*

I remember seeing a previous thread about this, and somebody said she was supposed to play a doctor or a scientist. So no wraith makeup this time around.

Everybody always has the advantage over us, but that's what makes us special...and Browncoats.

Good for her! Hope she enjoys working on a show that we'll NEVER SEE IN CANADA

Ruttin' whole goramn franchise seems to hate Canada with a passion.

Wonder why it took Gateworld so long to report this. Jewel posted the news about this role on her blog over a month ago.

What are you talking about. Atlantis is on the Movie network every Monday. Fox every Sunday. And a Global or A Channel, channel practically every day. The pilot had been on about twenty times this summer.

That's really weird, as (I believe) they film in Vancouver. Sorry Canadian Browncoats!
