February 20, 2008: Production progress.

Well, this week is the calm before the storm, and a golden opportunity to make some major headway on Whispers before prep begins on Broken Ties. I'm pleased to report that I'm out of Act I and making progress on Act II. Right now, I'm feeling pretty good about what I've got but, traditionally, the second-guessing doesn't really begin until, oh, Act III. There'll be a lot going on in this one
production-wise and I'd like to put it out early so that we can commence the planning/hair-rending/tearful recriminating as soon as possible.

While Marty G. is on the set of his episode (Search and Rescue), and Paul [Mullie] is prepping his episode (The Seed), and I'm writing my script (Whispers), Carl [Binder] is doing another rewrite of his script (Ghost in the Machine), and Alan [McCullough] is mulling over a possible story to slip into the #9 slot as the script originally envisioned for that spot ran into a "creative snafu" that a) moved it into the back half and b) may necessitate a change in perspective. Brad [Wright] is, of course, penning #6 (can`t wait to see the grotto), Carl is going to jump on #8 (interesting developments in this one that had Priscilla and the gang at MGM very excited), and Marty G. will do the honors for the mid- season two-parter (Welcome back to Atlantis, Dr. Jackson).

Answer: Right now, we have him for two.

Alien?



Hand held alien device? (Or, alien device, held by human hand?)
