Voyager’s own EMH, Robert Picardo, is slated to make a guest appearance on the upcoming season of “Stargate Universe”. For those of you who haven’t watched any of the Stargate iterations, Bob is no stranger to the series. He’s played character Richard Woolsey in both SG-1 and Atlantis for 10+ years. We were particularly pleased, when in his second episode on Atlantis, they made (what we choose to believe was) a tribute to The Doctor. At the end of a group meeting scene, nearby automated doors respond for everyone leaving except Woolsey (Picardo), leaving him comically trapped and alone in the conference room. Thanks to whoever came up with that bit. We really enjoyed the throw back to Voyager. No news yet on the episode release date, we’ll keep you posted.

In other Robert Picardo News, his new movie “The Awakened” is set to make its world premiere at LA’s Shriekfest on October 2nd. The new film revolves around an alien vessel that has been buried for over 200 hundred years with its occupants remaining in stasis. When it is accidentally unearthed and turned on by the sunlight, the occupants arise and, of course, they're not very polite. Bob plays a government black ops director who has a past history of alien encounters.
