Alaina Huffman (Tamara Johansen) is pregnant

Congratulations and hopefully we will avoid some of the sexist comments we had on here when Rachel Luttrell announced that she was Pregnant. I hope the writers don't write it into the plot however and come up with a better way of dealing with it. The gap inbetween season 1+2 will help.
 
I just hope they don't do some 2nd season Deanna Troi pregnancy where the baby is an alien lifeform. Either the baby is completely human and normal or no baby at all.
 
If they don't add it into the storyline, you can always "film around" her being pregnant. Different angles and what not. Kinda like how they did during late season 8 when Amanda Tapping was pregnant and was starting to show.
 
I didn't know she was pregnant at the end of season eight. If I ever look back at those episodes, I'll have to keep an eye out (although how can you really tell, since things were filmed in such a disordered state to accomplish RDA's availability in seasons six-eight?). In season nine, they obviously avoided showing her torso in the first five episodes, save for an akward (though quick) flashback with Mitchell where she is obviously showing.
 
Also the Destiny has alot of dark areas they can use to their advantage.

Mobieus part 2 she has her pack in front of her

By the time of "Threads" and, especially, "Mobius", there was a lot of Carter sitting behind tables and wearing clothing that seemed a little big. It helped in "Mobius" that alt-Carter was somewhat geeky and not in the military, so her being a little plump would work in that instance.
 
Sexist comments?

I'd say I feel sorry for whoever impregnated Rachel Luttrell, but I hardly think that's sexist!
 
Is there something in the water at Gate Studios? Amanda Tapping, Lexa Doig, Claudia Black even Peter Deluise's wife had a child about the same time a few years ago. :eek:

Oh god please no. No aliens, no starchild ubermensches who grow to adulthood in one episode, just a friggin' normal baby please.
 
Ignoring the preganancy and fiilming around it might be a bit difficult. I mean, on this show, how do they explain her absence for the episodes she'll be gone giving birth? Is the Destiny crew simply having a run of good luck and no one needs medical attention for a couple of weeks?

I was referring to camera angles and what not.

They can also restructure the production schedule and film her scenes when she she is able, like how they did with RDA. Considering filming for season 2 begins in February and won't air, presumably until the second half of 2010, that could work.

Don't forget Rachel Lutrell.

There must be a Stargate daycare center in Vancouver now.

Not just Rachel, I forgot about David Hewett's wife, Jason's girlfriend and even Chris Judge's girlfriend had a baby recently. :cardie:
 
You could work it in that she got impregnated by someone left behind/killed at Icarus Base, or someone she was involved with the last time she had leave. It'd be better than one of the poor slobs on Destiny I think.

Plus if they are going for edgier and more dramatic and darker, raising a baby on an Ancient rustbucket halfway across the universe has some possibilities.
