"The Shrine" 506 Pre-Airing Discussion/Speculation Thread

[PG15]

Writer: Brad Wright
Director: Andy Mikita

---

Damn Brad Wright too for having such a long name! Why can't they all be named like, Jo Ip, or something?!

Again, like the Alan M. episode, JM has already given us some stuff about this, and I don't want to forget them. Therefore...here is this thread. What we know so far:

1. Brad Wright's writing it (duh...again).
2. It's the 6th episode of the season (Link), making it the 300th episode of the Stargate franchise. Could the fact that BW is writing it mean that this fact will get referenced? Who knows.
3. There's a grotto in it (follow the same link I gave for #2).

Discuss!

Brad Wright always has something great up his sleeve! Good to see him doing another episode

[Arctic Goddess]

In my wildest dreams, he brings Ba'al into the Pegasus Galaxy. Ok, I know that Joe M said that will not happen, but maybe if I camp outside Bridge Studios and silently hold up a sign, I'll get some attention. Yes, the police are considered getting some attention.

[Platschu]

I think he will introduce the new bad guys for Atlantis.

LoL... Good luck with that

One can hope

But I would like to see rather a pure gate system related adventure. BW is very creative, so I hope he will show something special and unique as the 300th SG episode.

Update:

Answer: Andy Mikita does the honors on Martin Gero’s Search and Rescue, Will Waring follows on Paul Mullie’s The Seed, Ken Girotti steps into the line-up on my Broken Ties, after which Andy Mikita steps back into the rotation for Alan McCullough’s Daedalus Variations, Ken Girroti is next on Carl Binder’s Ghost in the Machine, then back to Andy Mikita for Brad Wright’s as-yet-untitled tear jerker, which brings us back to Will Waring for my second episode, Whispers.

Tear Jerker.... I wonder that they qualify as a tear jerker? for its normally a character dying but I doubt that for episode 6

perhaps its related to Weirs group of replicators

Uh no. As much as I love Ba'al no.

Small update:

Meanwhile, the scripts are flying fast and furious. Brad Wright turned in his first draft of a fun if atypical McKay driven story.

Oh no! I really think Brad is now (along with Carl) the only writer who cannot write SGA McKay.

I am willing to give it a chance as it is McKay and the line about it being "atypical" is strangely comforting. Personally I think this will be another bash McKay eppy, whether his mind or his body both Brad and Robert love to kick McKay. Grotto? So he is trapped in a cave? I suppose it could be worse they could have him hanging upside down in the forest... oh wait they already did that.

Personally I think only Martin Gero should get to play with McKay these days.

[PG15]

And we have a title! And new details!

We also have a FINAL DRAFT of episode 6, The Shrine of Talus, written by Brad Wright. David H. emailed Brad to tell him how much he loved it. And it apparently made Jewel cry. But, in all fairness, I was giving her a Hertz Donut at the time.
