A behind-the-scenes featurette was recently released for the upcoming new Stargate series Stargate: Origins. It gives us our first look at the series and also offers us our first look at actress Ellie Gall as the young version of the character Catherine Langford, which is who the series centers around. Judging from what I'm seeing here in this video, it looks like it could be a cool series!
