Joe Flanigan talked about his two young sons over at Gateworld which I thought interesting enough to post.
They asked...
Do you let your two young children watch Atlantis?
His response...
"They watch certain things and for some reason they would occasionally come to work and they became obsessed -- my little one -- completely obsessed with Stargate Atlantis. He thinks that Jason [Momoa] and I actually leave for work, we go fly through space and kill bad guys and come back home in time for dinner. I prefer to be with them when they're watching it because, remember, they also think that I'm going through the process. Sometimes they can't distinguish when I'm actually being hurt, and whether it's make-believe.
"I think that when they reach the ages of six to seven, they're probably safe to watch ... but right now I tend to be with them if they're going to watch it. And then again, I personally don't really like to watch it 'cause I've watched it for so many times. My little one can barely pronounce Stargate Atlantis. "Tawgate Atlantes?" I try to persuade him to watch something else but he may go to the mat with me on it. So I find myself occasionally sitting there. And of course just watching and completely engrossed in the storyline, I'm looking at entirely different issues ... "Why are we at that side of the frame?" The inner critic comes out. "
