Aha! EvilSpaceAlien is asleep! Now's my chance!

Introducing the first non-one-word-titled episode! Here's some info:

In other writerly news, Paul and Carl are brainstorming #6 and #7, while Rob and Remi look to tackle #8 and #9. Looks like Linda and I (or, more appropriately given the slotting) will double-team on #10 and #11, leaving Brad to tackle #12.

Carl continues prep on episode #4 (Pathogen), in addition to working on that outline for episode #7.

Oh, and we have multiple winners who guessed correctly on episode 7.

Episode #7: THE GREATER GOOD

I'm guessing with this being the first none-one-word title the title must therfore be very significant of the episode. I'm going to guess some great moral issue of the needs of the many is going to show up?

[Pharaoh Atem]

\O/

PG is back in the race

no more one word titles

'The Greater Good'

Sounds ominous.

[jelgate]

This sounds like another one of those Rush vs Young episodes

And PG-15, pistols drawn, confidentallly shoots down EvilSpaceAlien with a single shot. The victorious thread-starter walks off into the desert to his next adventure, while the loser's corpse rots in the sun... until next time.

"The Greater Good"... Hmm... Twenty bucks on a Rush-based episode. Which'd be cool.

[EvilSpaceAlien]

Bravo. I believe that this will be a very Rush-centric episode. And he was supposed to have a showdown with the new recurring character, Simeon, at some point. Maybe this is it.

[Lt.Colonel John Sheppard]

isn't the greater good a Caprica episode?

[EvilSpaceAlien]

isn't the greater good a Caprica episode?

Caprica episodes:
Pilot
Rebirth
Reins of a Waterfall
Gravedancing
There Is Another Sky
Know Thy Enemy
The Imperfections of Memory
Ghost in the Machine
End of Line

Nope. The Greater Good is not a Caprica episode.

[Mr Evil 37]

"The Greater Good" sounds like it is going to be a pivotal episode, considering it is the first to not have a one word title. And Rush is always going on about the greater good, so I'm betting that the crew of the Destiny must make a very tough choice for the good of everyone on board. And maybe Rush has to make that choice.

isn't the greater good a Caprica episode?

Nope. But there's a Lost episode, a House episode and an episode of CSI: NY that share the same title.

I was thinking about the Tau myself...

Also, my guess is that the title will eventually shorten to one word. It doesn't make sense to have all one-word titles and then this random multi-word one.

Well, judging by Mallozzi's blog, there will be other multiple word titles, so I guess they just realized Smallville beat 'em to it with the single-word titles(and probably other shows as well).
