Some Info on "The Inner Voice"

[Alex Rubit]

Unfortunately, we didn't get around to getting a trailer done for this one, but here's a couple of notes on the episode that will be released in less than 24 hours from now:

• This episode is very clearly a Chase episode, revealing some interesting details about his background.
• This episode marks the first appearance of Arina in an episode that's not a comedy episode.
• It's a "mystery episode," where it's unclear to the very end exactly what is going on.
• The teaser ending of the episode is something I've always been wanting to see on Stargate (wouldn't matter on which of the shows). I think I first thought of that even before Horizon went into production. It's been done once in a Season Three SG-1 episode, but not in this way.
• The actual story of the episode is similiar to a story concept I came up with originally for an Atlantis episode some time back in 2005. You know, in the event I'd ever get a chance to pitch stories to them.

And now some of those famous dialogue snippets:

CHASE
No patience... No patience at all.

GRANT
We're all just eager to see what could be so spectacular that you've called us all here to see it.

CHASE
Right. Of course.
(getting ready to pull away the towel)
Well then, here we go. Prepare to be amazed!

And with that Chase pulls away the towel, and his friends react with surprise and some amazement. The only one who's not surprised is Sivea, as she was in on this.

CHRISTINE
Wow... this is impressive.

CHASE
(a proud smile)
Thank you.

GRANT
We didn't even know if you were still alive.

Pure confusion overcomes Chase.

CHASE
What are you talking about?

Grant is about to explain. But first, he motions to Chase's weapon. Chase unknowingly is still aiming it at the Colonel. After a beat, Chase notices.

CHASE
Sorry.

And he puts it down. Grant slowly steps forward, picking up on the Major's confusion.

GRANT
You mean you don't remember?

ARINA
Looks like we made it.

CHASE
We, huh?

ARINA
Hey, I'm along for the ride because you brought me here. Don't ask me what this all means.

CHASE
I'm not so sure what it means myself.

ARINA
Which makes two of us.
(a beat)
The only thing I do know is that as long as I'm here, I'll do what I can to help you get through this. And once you do... you'll have to figure out the rest on your own.



There we go. Vague and criptic, as I would hope.

[Lt. Colonel Ryu Gaia]

...I hope Chase isn't showing off his manhood in that first dialogue bit.

[Alex Rubit]

Now, that's an interesting theory.

[Lt. Colonel Ryu Gaia]

They're going to call the ship that you inadvertantly revealed 'Chasivea.'

Well, now we all know who Sivea wound up with. Screw Bay'lar or Grant, it was Chase all along!

...I'm taking the joke too far, I know. But it's just so darned easy!

[Alex Rubit]

Who says this isn't true? There may be some surprises coming up down the road.

[Lt. Colonel Ryu Gaia]

(Yeah, the weird!face is more or less the only way I can respond to that.)

[Elite Anubis Guard]

Lol that first bit of dialogue had me laughing. Can't wait to get round to reading this one.
