169: James Tichenor, Visual Effects Producer and Writer, Stargate (Interview)

There is quite a bit of magic which goes into creating an episode of science fiction, especially ones as VFX-heavy as Stargate. For the first six seasons of Stargate SG-1 that man was James Tichenor, who also joined Stargate Atlantis Season Two for the same role. He is also responsible for helping to bring the SG-1 stories "Menace" and "Metamorphosis" to life, and directed second unit for Season Six's "Abyss." James joins us on Dial the Gate to share some stories from production and take your questions LIVE!
