Ask Joe Mallozzi - Spoilers for SG-1 (S8, 9, 10) and SGA (S1, 2, 3)

[JMallozzi]

Joe - I was not going to continue this here but after reading posts on several other threads I realize I am not alone in my confusion, concern, worry regarding this post you made. We, Carter fans, as well as some fans in general, are not asking for details in the way of spoilers, we are asking for a reason to watch for the Carter character. To provide us some hope that Carter will be a central team member (not that she will be the focus of every ep or even half, or a quarter, of the eps she is in, only that she will be an integral part of the team and the show. I get the feeling that her eps are going to be one-offs for the character, and that the scripts were written with her filling the gaps - no theme, no arc, not from past stories and not any new ones, is this correct? Will there be a consistency to the character not a relegation to filling in the points of the script that need filling with science and technobabble, will the character be important to the storyline, will the character get to show her strengths like leadership, strength of character, intelligence, independence, heroism, kick-a$$, etc. Some insight to any of the above would be helpful. A simple "she will be an integral part of the team in S9 making substantive contributions" or "she is not relegated to the background", anything to let the fans know that this character will not be relegated to wallpaper to be used when needed to fill a gap.

As always thanks for your time.

I think that Carter fans will enjoy season 9. And they may also want to check out Atlantis's "Grace Under Pressure".

"Mr M,

Would we be seeing Major Davis promoted to Lt Colonel in coming up season? Or maybe a bit about his back ground.?

Hey Joe! I have an Atlantis question for you today.

Why is it when teams go offworld that they remove all their patches? I think they've done this from the beginning and I'm curious as to why. Kinda like how SG teams remove them for earthbound operations...

Thanks!
Mary Beth

To be honest - I hadn't even noticed.

[JMallozzi]

Hopefully this one hasn't been asked yet, but since it's already been revealed that the scene w/ Sora being traded back in Seige was cut as the script stage, then presumably in the sense of the actual canon she should still be there, so will we be getting at least a reference about her to know for sure, and if so, how soon? An appearance of course is what I'd personally prefer, but even just a reference would at least satisfy my curiousity.

-Bloodaxe

No plans to address that on Atlantis.

[JMallozzi]

I'll be nice now. ;-) Joe, can the device that contained the energy creature in Atlantis (in the second episode of the series) be used to contain an ascended Ancient or Ori?

Nope.

[JMallozzi]

Mr. M.

Useless question of the day. Ronon Dex has stirred up quite a bit of interest around here and we've been discussing how old Ronon is supposed to be. He's been on the run for 7 years and was a weapons specialist prior to that (which one doesn't become overnight). RD fans are guessing he is late 20's to early 30's. Has an exact age been specified for him, or will that come out in a later episode?

We haven't specified an age for Ronon. Late 20's to early 30's sounds about right.

Hi Joe,

It looks like Stargate SG1 is going to a 10th season (congrats!)

I would like to know if you do go to a 10th year would we have a chance any chance at all to see Jonas? Even in the smallest. It would be great to see how he's doing.

Thanks for your time.

Janna Galaxy

Alas, no word yet on a pick-up for either show. As for Jonas - there's always a chance.

We won't be getting into the specifics of his departure.

Will the fans ever be given any type of tribute or one last hooray from our favorite character Jack O’Neill?? (not that I want him to leave and never spoken of again ...too tragic) When Michael Shanks left the series there was a farewell episode and a DVD tribute to Daniel Jackson. I think all four original team members (Jack, Sam, Daniel & Teal’c) should all be respected for their work. MS even came back for a few episodes and obviously has come back full time. Will the same respect ever be shown to RDA and the character Jack O’Neill that many love so dearly? If he comes back all the better MS certainly did!

Thank you for your time.
Ann

Hi Joe,

What do you think of the Viewers Choice Marathon Results, just in case you don't know... I know why wouldn't you know..., but hey, just in case The viewers could vote for their 10 favorite episodes and SciFi would air the top 6, the results:

Lost City I, Lost City II, 1969, 2010, Matter of Time and Window of Oportunity.

I guess one thing can be said for sure, we love the shows that play with time and thanks for coming back from your busy schedule/life... (((Hugs)))

[SlytherinGal]

Hey Joe,

How did you come up with a character like Ronan Dex? And what aspects/features of Jason did you like for the character?

[dissie]

Joe,

Why don't the people in Atlantis fish for food?

[Desala]

Hey Joe. Nice to see you here.

I was wondering if there are any plans to expand more into Teyla's ability to tap into the minds of Wraith. It'd be very cool to see what would happen.

Dear Joe

Question: Whats the reason why theirs a lack of audio commentary on SG1 season 8: DVD boxset.

I'm very dissappointed and expected this season (like others) would continue having it on their. Was it due to a lack of time to sit down and record them?

cheers

Joe,

Thanks for "Ex Deus Machina". It was just what my Shipper heart needed , and thanks for answering my question about Jack.

We won't be getting into the specifics of his departure.

What is the reasoning behind keeping his departure "unclear" i.e. RDA request, yet-to-be-revealed storyline, PTB decision. Please give a little more infomation!

Thanks.

[Kalliope]

Joe,

are SG-1's members going to at least pretend that they're worrying about Vala's fate in the Ori galaxy and trying to look for her?
