MGM has this to annouce for San Diego Comic Con: Comic-Con Highlights: Amanda Tapping, Don S. Davis and Co-Producer Martin Wood to Head Up SG-1 Panel By Paul Gendreau Comic-Con 2003 is set to roll at the San Diego Convention Center, July 17-20, with an incredibly diverse list of special guests from across the comic, science-fiction and fantasy spectrum. Stargate SG-1 fans will be especially interested in this year's Comic-Con with the announcement of an all-Stargate SG-1 panel featuring Amanda Tapping (Major/Dr. Samantha Carter), Don S. Davis (General Hammond), and co-producer Martin Wood on Saturday, July 19th. The show is premiering its seventh season at 9 P.M. June 13th on Sci Fi Channel; Dr. Daniel Jackson is back, and fans want to know what's in store for the SG-1 team.  Major Samantha Carter (expertly portrayed by Amanda Tapping) is the beautiful astrophysics genius who is every bit as tough as the men on her SG-1 team. Major Carter is an expert on Stargate technology, and her passion and drive adds that much-needed woman's perspective to the show. If you've never met Ms. Tapping, here's your opportunity to experience this remarkable woman, recently honored by Multichannel News for her excellence as an actress and for her commitment to the industry. She is as articulate as she is beautiful. General Hammond (the incredible Don S. Davis) will be on hand to watch over Major Carter at the Comic-Con. Hammond joins Carter on the panel, showing that he is every bit as good out in the field as he is commanding his SG-1 team. A hardened military leader, Hammond is also a wise man that defends humanity at all costs. (In case you were wondering-yes, that was our own Don S. Davis co-starring as the dog-show judge of the final round in Christopher Guest's hit film "Best in Show." Here's your chance to find out if Don really knows the difference between a Norwich and a Cairn terrier!) Comic-Con 2003 is at the San Diego Convention Center, July 17th - 20th, with a special preview night, July 16th. If you are a comic, fantasy or sci-fi fan, consider this your destiny, with over 350,000 square feet of space and 63,000 visitors. Visit the Comic-Con Web site (www.comic-con.org) for a complete list of confirmed guests, panels and activities. See you in sunny San Diego-and don't forget your sunblock! Saturday, July 05, 2003
