1
00:00:16,487 --> 00:00:21,436
The best part about directing is... it's fun.

2
00:00:40,887 --> 00:00:43,560
- The ark is a bomb.
- What?

3
00:00:47,447 --> 00:00:48,926
- You OK?
- Where is she?

4
00:00:56,247 --> 00:00:57,566
Fire!

5
00:01:00,127 --> 00:01:01,116
No!

6
00:01:07,007 --> 00:01:16,439
The episode ''Resurrection'' is a story
about a rogue NlD operation gone awry.

7
00:01:16,847 --> 00:01:21,477
The SG-1 is called by Agent Barrett from
the NlD to this abandoned warehouse

8
00:01:21,567 --> 00:01:25,116
where they've been conducting
these experiments, the rogue NlD.

9
00:01:25,207 --> 00:01:30,918
When we get there, everyone
but two people are dead. Massacred.

10
00:01:31,007 --> 00:01:36,798
The two people that are alive are: one,
a young girl who's kept in a glass cage,

11
00:01:36,887 --> 00:01:39,082
and two, a scientist.

12
00:01:39,167 --> 00:01:42,079
Throughout the course
of the episode, we find out

13
00:01:42,167 --> 00:01:47,195
that the girl is a Goa'uld human hybrid
that the scientist has created...

14
00:01:48,927 --> 00:01:51,441
They look like partially
developed foetuses.

15
00:01:51,527 --> 00:01:56,476
..and that she is, in fact, responsible
for the deaths of all the people,

16
00:01:56,567 --> 00:01:59,559
but unknowingly,
because this Goa'uld takes over.

17
00:02:00,087 --> 00:02:04,638
A separate and distinct personality.

18
00:02:05,127 --> 00:02:08,915
So Anna's mind has created
an entirely separate personality

19
00:02:09,007 --> 00:02:10,998
that acts like the Goa'uld Sekhmet?

20
00:02:11,087 --> 00:02:14,682
ln the meantime,
down in the artefact room,

21
00:02:14,807 --> 00:02:17,196
Teal'c and Daniel have uncovered a bomb.

22
00:02:18,447 --> 00:02:21,405
Ooooh!

23
00:02:25,167 --> 00:02:28,557
- Did we just do that?
- l do not believe so.

24
00:02:29,527 --> 00:02:31,916
lt was activated some time ago.

25
00:02:32,007 --> 00:02:35,397
Ohhhh!

26
00:02:35,487 --> 00:02:42,643
We're in the artefact room,
which is where the gang discovers an ark

27
00:02:42,727 --> 00:02:44,763
that turns out to be a bomb.

28
00:02:44,847 --> 00:02:48,317
The bomb has been activated
prior to their arrival,

29
00:02:48,407 --> 00:02:51,399
so it's now down to Teal'c
and Dr Lee from the SGC

30
00:02:51,487 --> 00:02:53,955
to try to de-activate the bomb.

31
00:02:55,007 --> 00:02:57,077
The horror! There's lots of tension.

32
00:02:57,167 --> 00:03:02,195
All season long, they've been asking me
''What's my character arc?''

33
00:03:02,287 --> 00:03:05,916
l said ''Just wait. ln the last episode,
we're gonna find the ark.''

34
00:03:06,007 --> 00:03:08,885
- (Amanda) And we found an ark.
- (Robert) Finally we found the ark.

35
00:03:08,967 --> 00:03:10,320
Yay!

36
00:03:10,447 --> 00:03:13,439
Directing my co-stars was a dream.

37
00:03:13,527 --> 00:03:18,282
l didn't have the opportunity to direct
Rick, cos he wasn't in the episode,

38
00:03:18,367 --> 00:03:22,758
but Michael and Christopher,
who were there for me 1 10%.

39
00:03:22,847 --> 00:03:26,601
Michael was like my rock,
cos he had a lot to do in the episode.

40
00:03:26,687 --> 00:03:27,881
Chris was amazing.

41
00:03:27,967 --> 00:03:30,242
Da-da-dah.

42
00:03:30,327 --> 00:03:35,606
And then there was Kristen Dalton who
played Anna. She had a really tough job.

43
00:03:35,687 --> 00:03:40,602
My name is Kristen Dalton
and l am playing the role of Anna.

44
00:03:40,687 --> 00:03:45,397
She was so sweet
about wanting to please me

45
00:03:45,487 --> 00:03:47,955
and making sure
that l was happy with her work.

46
00:03:48,047 --> 00:03:52,040
l'm having a ball here on the set
with Amanda Tapping directing,

47
00:03:52,127 --> 00:03:54,402
who is absolutely fantastic.

48
00:03:54,487 --> 00:03:56,796
She was just an absolute sweetheart.

49
00:03:56,887 --> 00:03:59,082
She rocks. Yeah!

50
00:04:01,207 --> 00:04:05,485
We're in the stellar room at Terminal City.

51
00:04:07,327 --> 00:04:10,046
We're setting up for a big crane shot.

52
00:04:10,127 --> 00:04:14,359
The scene starts with
Daniel and Anna kelno'reeming,

53
00:04:14,447 --> 00:04:19,396
Daniel is... Michael is trying
to get me to meditate

54
00:04:19,487 --> 00:04:24,800
so that l can find out information
in my subconscious.

55
00:04:24,887 --> 00:04:26,878
You see a doorway.

56
00:04:28,287 --> 00:04:30,482
Go to that door and open it.

57
00:04:32,767 --> 00:04:34,758
Go through.

58
00:04:35,607 --> 00:04:39,395
ln the course of the scene,
she goes crazy, berserk, whacko.

59
00:04:40,487 --> 00:04:42,045
No!

60
00:04:43,527 --> 00:04:48,840
Rips all her paintings down off the wall,
knocks over a bookshelf,

61
00:04:48,927 --> 00:04:52,044
grabs all the paintings
from under her desk and lights a fire.

62
00:04:52,127 --> 00:04:54,118
Whoosh!

63
00:04:54,247 --> 00:04:55,316
Then she escapes.

64
00:04:55,407 --> 00:04:57,477
l cause chaos.

65
00:04:58,487 --> 00:05:00,159
Killing. Maiming.

66
00:05:01,607 --> 00:05:03,245
Beating. Destroying.

67
00:05:04,207 --> 00:05:05,925
Da-da-dah.

68
00:05:06,007 --> 00:05:08,601
And everybody lives happily ever after.

69
00:05:09,047 --> 00:05:11,845
Huh? How calm am l about that?

70
00:05:11,927 --> 00:05:14,157
No problem(!)

71
00:05:14,247 --> 00:05:15,441
Hurry! Come on!

72
00:05:18,487 --> 00:05:20,523
Hurry!

73
00:05:23,287 --> 00:05:29,601
So my experience with the cast,
as a whole, was amazing.

74
00:05:29,687 --> 00:05:32,997
Except for the girl that plays Carter,
who was a bit of a problem.

75
00:05:33,087 --> 00:05:35,920
- So it would seem.
- Yeah, what about that girl?

76
00:05:36,007 --> 00:05:38,237
But seriously... directing myself

77
00:05:38,327 --> 00:05:42,206
was just a matter of taking off the
director hat and putting on the actor hat

78
00:05:42,287 --> 00:05:45,040
and trusting the people
you have behind the monitors,

79
00:05:45,127 --> 00:05:50,440
which is dead easy on this show as you
have Michael Greenburg, who's amazing

80
00:05:50,527 --> 00:05:52,404
and just watches your back.

81
00:05:52,487 --> 00:05:55,445
He's been doing it for so long,
he knows what to look for.

82
00:05:55,527 --> 00:05:59,600
l found, after the first couple of days,
that the only way l could do it

83
00:05:59,687 --> 00:06:05,922
was to not edit myself as a director while
l was acting, and just become Carter.

84
00:06:06,007 --> 00:06:10,683
lt was hard. But it literally was a matter of
taking off one hat and putting on another.

85
00:06:10,807 --> 00:06:13,401
- No way!
- (laughter and clapping)

86
00:06:13,487 --> 00:06:16,718
- (woman) Hurry up!
- (man) Look at this! A new hat.

87
00:06:16,807 --> 00:06:18,126
''Obey me.''

88
00:06:18,207 --> 00:06:22,439
The best part is that creative juice. lt's
just using a different part of your brain.

89
00:06:22,527 --> 00:06:25,166
Having been an actor
on the show for seven years,

90
00:06:25,247 --> 00:06:29,877
it's just a chance to use
a completely different part of my brain,

91
00:06:29,967 --> 00:06:35,087
a different side of my creative brain,
to be a director.

92
00:06:35,167 --> 00:06:37,965
l'm working with the crew,
which l've always loved,

93
00:06:38,047 --> 00:06:43,724
but having a different
relationship with them.

94
00:06:43,807 --> 00:06:46,560
Having them all turn to you
and go ''What's next?''

95
00:06:46,647 --> 00:06:48,638
The first two times, l was nervous.

96
00:06:48,727 --> 00:06:51,605
And the first time
l yelled ''Action'' l giggled,

97
00:06:51,687 --> 00:06:53,882
cos l never got to say that before.

98
00:06:53,967 --> 00:06:56,322
l think you got that on film.

99
00:06:56,407 --> 00:07:01,117
And action! (giggles) My first time.

100
00:07:01,647 --> 00:07:05,481
Yeah. That's me.

101
00:07:05,567 --> 00:07:08,798
This was a career path for me,
a choice l had made a long time ago,

102
00:07:08,887 --> 00:07:12,277
that it was another branch
that l wanted to get into.

103
00:07:12,367 --> 00:07:16,724
Which is why l pushed so hard on this
show to be given the opportunity to direct.

104
00:07:16,807 --> 00:07:22,882
l just kept pushing and pushing until
l finally beat them down and they agreed.

105
00:07:22,967 --> 00:07:29,725
l will always want to continue acting, but
this is something l want to... take off on.

106
00:07:29,807 --> 00:07:32,162
This is the new career path.

107
00:07:32,247 --> 00:07:34,807
So, we'll see what happens.

108
00:07:34,887 --> 00:07:36,878
Cut.

109
00:07:38,007 --> 00:07:40,646
That was nice. That was great.

110
00:07:44,487 --> 00:07:47,320
l feel more in control already.

111
00:07:47,407 --> 00:07:49,796
Fantastic! l love it.

112
00:07:50,407 --> 00:07:54,286
- (man) How do you feel?
- Anxious.

113
00:07:54,367 --> 00:07:57,040
There's a lot. A lot in the story.

114
00:07:57,687 --> 00:07:59,200
lt's too much.

115
00:08:03,287 --> 00:08:05,278
What?

116
00:08:05,367 --> 00:08:07,358
(¶ Stargate theme)

117
00:08:33,807 --> 00:08:36,196
(cheering)

118
00:08:36,287 --> 00:08:37,959
- ls that it?
- (man) That's it.

119
00:08:38,047 --> 00:08:40,038
l had fun.

120
00:08:40,647 --> 00:08:42,638
ENHOH
