STARGATE: Memories, feelings, entitlement...

"Beau reminded me a lot of Robert Picardo (Richard Woolsey) – both were very successful, incredibly experienced, and always made it a point to come by our offices to run prospective dialogue changes by us rather than simply surprising us in the dailies. Like Bob, Beau would always make the time to come up and see us to request even the tiniest of changes. Both of them were class acts and I have nothing but terrific memories of working with them." -- Joe Mallozzi 5 June 2011

Beau Bridges & Robert Picardo are AWESOME. Mad props & nothing but love love love to them and what they brought to the franchise.

LOL at "surprising us" with dialog changes in the dailies. Someone's using the Royal We.

Yeah, it's so wanky the way Mallozzi carries that grudge. Brad Wright in the commentaries/special features reiterates how he loved working on the show because it was COLLABORATIVE. Mallozzi in the bonus features to "Morpheus" actually tries to joke about how everything he writes is gold. Only it's false modesty AND evidence of his ACTUAL 'tude.

It really makes me suspect that when Shanks or Tapping or RDA (CJ hardly got any lines, LOL) approached him for dialog changes, he got defensive and douchey, so they might've said "awfuckit we're not running anything by you anymore". Which would bend him out of shape even more.

I will give Mallozzi props for writing some truly beautiful teleplays; he can write well to a deadline. But writing well doesn't entitle anyone to being a Special Princess Douchebag.
