[PG15]

Writer: An unknown freelancer, produced by Rob Cooper
Director: Rob Cooper

Ok! Here we go, the first of 3 titles released today: Lucid. Below are past info on the episode:

We talked Tekkonkinkreet, Takashi Miike, and Minister Faust before I was called into the writer’s room to help spin a new story on another freelance script, this one a wonderful exploration of the Rush character. By lunch, we had the story broken

Today, we set aside an hour to talk stories – specifically, the back half of SGU’s first season. Okay, okay. I think that, this time, I’ve got it right. […] #14 is the Rush-centered freelance script that Rob will eventually jump on (as he’ll be assuming directing duties on this one). […]

Hey, everybody! It’s time to play “Guess the Upcoming Episode Names!”

Episode #14 shares a title with a song by God Module.

[…]

Another round of clues tomorrow. In the meantime, knock yourselves out.

Okay, it’s time for round two of “Guess the Episode Title”. Further hints to the titles of episode #14, #15, and #16:

One shares the name of a movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

Another shares the name of a television series.

Another shares the name of a software package.

Impressive. Most impressive.

A mention:

When I left him (Martin not Topango), he was in his office (actually, not really HIS office anymore. Since he left, we’ve been renting it out as a timeshare to vacationing Swedes), sprawled out on his couch, catching up on his script-reading (Space, Divided, and Lucid).

Exclusive - Stargate Universe - Lucid - Casting Call

Casting:-

Spoiler:

They are looking for Star Names Only for GLORIA RUSH the wife of Nicolas Rush

Spoiler:

looks like its a flashback episode

[kirmit]

Sounds like an intense episode, that's good btw .

[SGFerrit]

I can't wait to see this. It sounds like Rush is going to be a very tormented character, I think this is going to be fantastic. It should make for some very powerful scenes.

[Platschu]

Maybe this is a great way to make cross-overs too. They could make same scene at the Atlantis set, if Dr. Rush worked there. But they can't use the old SGC gateroom set, because they changed it into the Icarus set.

I could imagine Lucy Lawless or Tricia Helfer as his wife.

[PG15]

Update:

Rob, meanwhile, put out his pass on Lucid (he’s renamed it Human and the change is a point of some debate) and it’s a terrific script – engaging, poignant, and, yes, mighty surprising. Rob will be assuming directing duties on the episode.

He renamed it "Human"? Very...odd

It'll probably fit in context though, lol.

Wow you guys are fast. PG-15 do you have some kinda e-mail notifation of new posts on JM blog or something? Anyway I like Lucid as a episode title better even though we don't really know very much about the episodes plot.

I can answer this. PG15 is just plain obessesive. He is constantly refreashing the page to see when JM begins a new post. At least that is what he told me once.

Interesting, I hear it has to do with his secret powers. For example, when PG15 watches 60 minutes, it only takes him 20

[jelgate]

Yes and no. JM gives PG15 the cliff notes of an episode. What he does with those cliff notes I am not at liberity to say

[PG15]

What?! You mean those documents I keep getting in the mail from JM are actual cliff notes and not him messing around with me?!

Oh ****! I've been using them as insulation and toilet paper!

Wow you guys are fast. PG-15 do you have some kinda e-mail notifation of new posts on JM blog or something?

Oh no, it's much more pathetic than that. Jel's right; at around the right time of day, I start hanging out at JM's blog, refreshing the page every few minutes until the new entry comes up.

It's...what I do.

Correction: I fall asleep 20 minutes into watching 60 Minutes.
