So I've been binge watching Stargate SG-1 and I noticed that in the opening credits it goes....

Richard Dean Anderson
Amanda Tapping
Christopher Judge
and Michael Shanks as Daniel Jackson

Do they think we forgot him or something? Why not say who the others play? Doesn't make much sense.

And as I've watched the show, I have seen a LOT of Battlestar Galactica alumni on here. Was it a Canadian TV production?

They're doing it in Stargate Atlantis as well. It's just the geeky science types. In Atlantis, it's that McKay guy who gets last billing and his character's name listed.

So weird. And I must be really bored. LOL

That’s pretty common in TV to list credits like that, with the final name given and who they play, almost like an honor.

I am a big Stargate fan. All three shows. I like seeing the actors on different shows.
Continuum
Travelers
Black Matter
Battlestar Galactica
The 4400
Supernatural
Eureka - I am just now watching this for the first time. OK show. I watch it while working in the garage. I play the game "what SG b list actor will be in this episode".

I am sure there are others.
