Conceptual History
The working name for Ronon's home world planet was Atteria, not Sateda.
After Momoa was cast in the role, the Sci Fi Channel objected to him keeping his long, 5-pound-heavy dreadlocks. However the hair soon became a signature of the character, and when Momoa decided to cut them off (with the producers' permission) after the completion of Season 4, he was still required to have his hair sewn back on for at least the first three episodes until there would be a scene where Ronon cuts his hair off in "Broken Ties". According to Momoa, it took nine hours to sew his hair back on for the beginning of the fifth season, but wearing it was too painful for him to continue working. Meanwhile the Sci Fi Channel overruled the decision for Ronon to lose his hair, so he was eventually given a custom made $10,000 wig that weighed the same as Momoa's former hair as a replacement for the rest of the season.

Famous quotes containing the words conceptual and/or history:
“Analyze theory-building how we will, we all must start in the middle. Our conceptual firsts are middle-sized, middle-distanced objects, and our introduction to them and to everything comes midway in the cultural evolution of the race.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
