It would be interesting to see him play apart of micheal as human with all memories and yet wrath capabilities.:)Sun, 03 Feb 2008 20:37:40 GMTJuliehttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic9868-17-1.aspxExactly.<br><br>My sister managed to get a downloaded edition of Micheal but...........the bleeding thing will only play on her computer, not on mine and not on my dvd player either.........so roll on end of july.Thu, 27 Jul 2006 03:04:52 GMTparisamourhttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic9868-17-1.aspxMaking Michael human- would make his life a bit lesss complicated- but as a human he would still be looked upon as being a wraith by the other members of SG Atlantis-especially Ronin - recall when Ronin and Col Shepard walked through the camp of the wraith prisoners who were transformed into humans- Ronin scowled and said to Shepard that he knows what they really are. Michael would still not be trusted- I think that the episide- Michael- where Michael is in human form- shows the depth of Michaels struggle with finding out who he is and where he fits in.</P><P>Although most women, including myself would prefer to see Connor as Michael in human form-Any form is better than not having Connor appear on SG1 as a Regular.</P><P>JPrestigThu, 27 Jul 2006 02:59:22 GMTJPrestighttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic9868-17-1.aspxOH YES !!!Tue, 25 Jul 2006 10:26:37 GMTparisamourhttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic9868-17-1.aspxOh yes, you will drool ...about... he is great, in every way you can imagine !Tue, 25 Jul 2006 09:27:43 GMTmaxihttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic9868-17-1.aspxYou'll be wearing it out, paris! :PTue, 25 Jul 2006 08:30:30 GMTtripsmyguyhttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic9868-17-1.aspxSeason 3 in not in the uk until the autum......dam.....,but the dvd with the Micheaal episode is out at the end of this month.Tue, 25 Jul 2006 04:23:20 GMTparisamourhttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic9868-17-1.aspx"Michael is back, yeah ", anyone able to watch him, I've to wait at least one day !Sat, 22 Jul 2006 01:01:40 GMTmaxihttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic9868-17-1.aspxSome critics concerning ENT said that he outshines his fellow actors and that the producers were surprised by his performances, they said further that this was a difficult thing because his character wasn't supposed to play such a big part. So because he did his stuff so well, the series became more Trip-centric than Archer-centric, and that this was not what the officials wanted it to be. When I read this, I was stunned, you could almost have the impression they wanted him to come off badly!

I just saw the first episode last night and Connor is excellent - I think more impressive than his original performance. The moral dilemma and character portrayal shone right through all the make up. He makes one sexy wraith I have to say!!!

It's Michael's differences that give him that depth that CT portrays so well. Michael's not really Wraith anymore, he's not quite human... where does he fit in? How? That's what we're curious about.</P><P>And, if you blend him into the group, then he's accepted his metamorphosis and you've also lost the moral dilemma. If Michael doesn't care about it any more, then no one else will either.</P><P>Even if you keep Michael in his in-between state, I think overusing the character would make him less interesting as well. It's much better dramatically to leave the audience wanting more (season-ending cliffhangers, anyone?).</P><P>wollem Tue, 18 Jul 2006 23:10:44 GMTwollemhttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic9868-17-1.aspxAnother welcome, [b]JPrestig[/b]!<P>I agree with you all when you say that Connor is fantastic as [i]Michael[/i].

In Michael he was so intense, just wow ! In the season 3 premiere, for me he was able to bring Michaels feelings through the screen, the sadness not to belong to anything or anyone. Do I make sense ? OK he is just a great actor, hopefully we can see more of him.[/quote]<br><br>Yes, you do make sense, maxi. I couldn't believe how much emotion he got through all the make-up and the voice distortion. He couldn't even use his eyes the same way! Yet, he got the character's feelings through. Just amazing.<br><br>Intensity and depth are great words to describe the performance.Tue, 18 Jul 2006 15:28:02 GMTtripsmyguyhttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic9868-17-1.aspxWelcome :)</P><P>Havent seen SGA Season 3 yet, hate jumping in the middle of a series, so I just got my hands on Season 1, so will get back 2 ya when I get caught up lol.Tue, 18 Jul 2006 11:03:14 GMTgtredx69http://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic9868-17-1.aspxHallo JPrestig, nice to have you aboard.</P><P>I agree, he was fantastic, I think in Michael he even tops his performance as Trip, which was always fantastic, very convincing.

Welcome to the board!!! :)<br><br>Loved your review -- Connor is fantastic as Michael! I don't watch that show regularly, only when he's on. He really brings the acting to a whole new level. Did you hear how he got the part? It's a nice story. <br><br>Similitude was my favorite ENT episode as well. He really comes through on any acting challenge the writers throw at him. He's the best! :DTue, 18 Jul 2006 05:06:37 GMTtripsmyguyhttp://geckoforums.isomedia.com/Topic9868-17-1.aspxI thought Connor was <STRONG>Fantastic!!-</STRONG> as Michael Kenmore, in Wraith form- in the season 3 premiere of SG Altantis. He brings such <U>incredible depth</U> to that character- who in my opinion is by far the <U>most interesting on SG Atlantis</U>. Connor really makes you feel for Michael. I would <STRONG>LOVE</STRONG> to see Connor made <STRONG>a full time cast member of SG Atlantis</STRONG>!-Preferably as Michael Kenmore, in <U>human form!</U> There are so many levels to this character-and so many moral issues that are brought up.- Connor's portrayal of Michael- as a wraith and as a human- brings to mind his portrayal as <U>"Sim"-</U> in the Enterprise season 3 episode- <U>"Similtude"- which was my favorite episode</U>. </P><P>What are your opinions of Connor's portrayal of Michael on SG Atlantis? </P><P>JPrestigTue, 18 Jul 2006 00:56:44 GMTJPrestig
