As our more regular readers may already know, while I was a fan of the theatrical film Stargate, particularly in regard to the character of Daniel, I didn't really have an opportunity to watch the show based on said movie, Stargate SG-1, until I moved a few years ago. Even then, I had missed so much already, I only watched with half my attention.
It took the episodes featuring the character of Vala Mal Doran at the start of season nine — in particular, her chemistry with Daniel — to really hook me, but ever since then, I've been trying to play catch-up by watching reruns of previous seasons. Now I know I'd missed something brilliant! But though Vala herself didn't even initially appear until season eight, Vala and Daniel are still my fave characters — so of course I was excited when I heard spoilers about "Memento Mori", the episode where Vala got kidnapped. When that ep aired, it (obviously) became one of my very fave eps.
More recently, while looking for spoilers regarding the Daniel/Vala ship, I stumbled across a link to the blog of Joseph Mallozzi. In case you haven't guessed, he co-wrote "Memento Mori", as well as a number of other eps on my faves list, such as "The Curse", "Window of Opportunity", "The Ties that Bind", "Collateral Damage", "Ripple Effect", "Camelot, Part 2", "Morpheus", "200", "Counterstrike", and "Family Ties". He's also written for Stargate Atlantis, and is an Executive Producer for both shows.
Anyway, I checked out Joe's blog, asked for an interview, and crossed my paws ....

ST: How do you keep track of ten seasons of material? Is there some sort of extended series bible that's constantly updated, to help you look up things about the cultures that have been created for the show, and to avoid continuity problems? Do you find yourself re-watching a lot of episodes? (Or maybe you just keep Peter DeLuise on speed-dial?...)
JM: We rely on each other for most of the background information. Well, each other and Gateworld.
