His enthusiasm and innovative thinking have helped us reach new heights, including celebrating the festival’s milestone 40th anniversary and helping us to rise to the challenges caused by the pandemic.” “We thank Randy for his years of service leading the Board of Directors.
His creative vision and passion for the business is a perfect match to help us to continue delivering on the festival’s mandate to grow and serve the industry,” said BANFF’s Executive Director, Jenn Kuzmyk. It’s an honour to welcome him as our new Chair. “One of the industry’s most respected executives, Kevin has been a long-time board member and a genuine champion of the festival in Hollywood and around the world. I look forward to continuing to work with the incredible BANFF team in making BANFF the must-attend television event of the year.” “BANFF brings together the best of the best of the international screen industry and content producers from all corners of the globe. “As a longtime Board member and participant in this prestigious and exciting festival, I’m deeply honoured to be named Chair of BANFF’s Board of Directors,” said Beggs.
He succeeds renowned executive Randy Lennox who served as Chair of the Board for three years. Still, good episode: Nice plot, nice characters, better-than-average treatment of ethical problems.The Banff World Media Festival (BANFF) is proud to announce that Kevin Beggs, the Television Group Chair of global content leader Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF.A, LGF.B), has been elected Chair of BANFF’s Board of Directors. Probably I'm one of the few people who is happy to see a lot of him in any given episode.) Weak points: Teyla's emotional, poorly-considered decision will annoy some viewers who should see a much more obvious solution to the problem.
And there's a lot of McKay in this episode (Confession time: McKay is my favourite character. The characters, especially Weir, are willing to own up to and consider the ethical dilemmas raised by their actions, a refreshing step in light of some of the episodes at the beginning of Season 3.
A few episodic characters are brought back, including Kavanaugh (who turns in a consistently realistic performance as the annoying, self-absorbed civilian with authority issues). In spite of the tension, the writers also work in some good humour (using Zelenka and Lee). The ending has a beautifully unexpected twist, the implications of which are unfortunately not fleshed out in later episodes. In terms of plot, the danger that Atlantis faces escalates smoothly from a contained threat to a wholly uncontained and terribly threatening one. A combination mystery / action plot, the story kept me on the edge of my seat throughout and had a nice twist at the end.
