On the work front: shooting continues on the big team-up eppy, finished the polish on Harmony, almost finished my producer's cut of Kindred I as I await the completion of the Previously On sequence, an exhausted Martin completed his latest (and last) rewrite of Trio, read the first draft of Outcast, and watched the episode with the engagement scene (I have a feeling the fans will love it).


Today’s Q&A -

Teyilia writes: “Since the finale is being written at this time yes? when does actual filming for it start/end?”

Answers: Yes and end of September.



Flying Fig writes: “I know what a director's cut is (for DVDs, etc.) but what is a producer's cut?”

Answer: At the end of the day, the producer’s cut is the finished version.




ChevronSeven writes: “What exactly goes into polishing a script?”

Answer: Depends on the script notes.




Jill_Ion writes: “Are you sure all of the aliens on Stargate are fake?”

Answer: All but one.




Scifan writes: “ Maybe for season 5, you can have a story contest.”

Answer: Sorry. The production has nothing to do with organizing contests. That would be SciFi and MGM’s area of expertise.




Anonymous #1 writes: “Also, did you know Netflix is already way ahead of you and the team on the seasons of SGA?”

Answer: Parallel universes? Really? Cool!

[It's true! I was over at Netflix today, and you can "save" Stargate Atlantis Seasons 4 AND 5 to your Queue! I love it -- the power of positive thinking! - Morjana]



Anonymous #2 writes: “If Atlantis gets picked up for a season 5, when would you start writing for it?”

Answer: Hopefully well be spinning stories in November.




Zabadoo writes: “1.)I was in the process of writing a script to put in my portfolio to send with my college applications, and my computer crashed and it got deleted. (…) Has that ever happened to you, if so, any suggestions that can help to get it going again? 2) I heard there is a continuation to the Gero/McKay episodes... 3).)Should we expect any dark twists in Sheppard's backstory? Like is there a reason he hasn't told anyone much of who he was before? 4.)The episodes that Paul McGillion is in, is it going to be a completely different character from what we've seen before?”


Answers: 1) Let anger and desperation be your muse. 2) Gero/McKay episodes? 3) Don’t know what you mean by “dark”. 4) No, it’ll be the guy we knew.



Pattirose4 writes: “Any chance of casting Peter Wingfield in an upcoming role?”

Answer: He already played Tanith on SG-1 and was killed off in season 5.
