"The Queen" (508) Pre-Airing Discussion/Speculation Thread

[PG15]

Writer: Alan McCullough
Director: Brenton Spencer

Damn Alan Mccullough for having such a long name!

Anyway, I thought I get a start on this, since, well, it'll show up eventually, and we already know a bit on it...and I want to be responsible for starting every Pre-Episode thread in Season 5. Ok, it's really just that last reason.

So, here's what we know so far:

1. Alan Mccullough is writing it (duh).
2. It's the 9th episode of the Season (Link)
3. It's a Teyla story:

Yes, the extreme Shep-whump episode has been moved to the back half, leaving a big yawning empty space in the #9 slot. But we sat down for a couple of hours this afternoon and spun out a fantastic Teyla story. It’s one of those stories that, after you’ve finishing throwing out ideas and putting together a rough structure, you sit back and say: “Damn, I wish I was writing this one.” And with that, we have our first half mapped out. Much like last year, it’s a nice mix of individual and team episodes.

4. And JM likes it:

- Gave Alan notes on his beat sheet. Told him I thought it was going to be a fantastic episode. No pressure.

I'll keep you guys updated, as always.

Hopefully a solid Teyla ep is what I've been looking forward too.

Ok...9 episodes in to the season. Surely they wouldn't wait that long to deal with Teyla and the baby?

i never said that it would be the first time she encouterd the baby in the 5th season but this could be centerd around them to

Finally, a name...and a strange/foreboding one at that:

I received notes on Whispers, worked on the rewrite, and took a tour of some of the new construction on the FX stage. Jason came by the office about a half dozen times today, each time popping up to discuss Broken Ties for all of two minutes before being called back down to set. Then, I rounded out my afternoon by skimming past scripts for appropriate flashback sequences. Alan is off and running on the new episode #9, The Queen, while Paul does a pass on Ghost in the Machine, Carl works on Tracker, and Marty G. gets a head start on the mid-season two-parter. Looking way ahead, I’ve talked myself into the #16 spot with “a very special Stargate Atlantis” (apologies to James Stewart), while we’ve got some other potential stories floating about in search of definitive slot.

Does anyone think that this could be The Teyla Episode?

Does anyone think that this could be The Teyla Episode?

Or it could be the episode where Sheppard becomes a transvestite.
