- I don't know about blowing up a HA-tak specifically, but we'll definitely see both ships in action this year.

How soon will it take for more of these ships and possibly other classes and types of ships to come about, or is that stuff something that will not be seen for a few years in either SG-1 or Atlantis.

- New ships are definitely in the works. How long until we see them - only time will tell.

Are the two battlecruisers Prometheus class ships or Deadalus class ships?

- Sorry. I don't understand the question.

Will Zipacna, Camulus, Morrigan, or Kali be in the upcoming season, at least as far as mentioning their faits, whether or not they are still alive. What about learning the identity of the two unnamed System Lords that Replicarter probably deep sixed in "Threads"?

- We probably won't be seeing any of the above-mentioned system lords. With the exception of Camulus who is only possibly dead, the others are in all probability dead. With the exception of Zipacna who is definitely dead.

EDIT:

Almost forgot, will we learn anything about the two unknown Goa'uld mentioned during the series, Phelops and Nefertum(sp)? Are these two alive somewhere, or are they dead. If they are dead, when did they meet their experation date?

- Still awaiting definite word on them.

Joe,

Will we finally learn about the plague that wiped out the ancients in this season? When it happened and why!!!!!!!!

Thank you!

We may learn a bit more about the plague in season 9.

hi Joe
thanks for your time, two times in two days, pretty cool for someone with such a schedule!

just wanted to know if you have some news about RDA and his possible appearance in some more episodes

and just in case you haven't see the previous post, any comment on this ? is it your idea?

thanks again, we appreciate it

**sg-1fanintn** · 15 May 2005, 05:59 PM

Joe, earlier this weekend, you responded to a question from me. But you didn't answer it.

By not "violating the integrity of the S/J ship," I mean that TPTB acknowledge that a Sam/Jack relationship exists (even if it's long distance), and it means that Sam isn't dating all the guest stars or anyone else during S9.

We all knew that RDA wasn't going to be on the show for most of S9, and that you weren't killing the character of Jack O'Neill off. Couldn't you throw us some little bone here? We've been suffering since the end of March, and there are still about eight weeks to go til the S9 premiere.

Hey, Joe. Awesome thing you're doing.
Can you reveal any more information on "Four Horsemen" or "Ex Deus Machina"?
They look awesome.

I can't really offer up much on Ex Deux Machina without giving away spoilers. Suffice it to say that the title is a clue.

In The Fourth Horseman, a new enemy unleashes a plague on Earth. As forces from Stargate Command, USAMRIID, the CDC, the WHO, and concerned governments try to head off a global pandemic, SG-1 race the clock in an effort to find a cure.

re-hi joe
a quick little one
do you know yet if Sean Patrick Flanery will play Orlin again? any idea when you'll know ?
thanks for your time

**ShardsofGlass** · 15 May 2005, 06:21 PM

Joe, Will Mitchell stay in charge once Carter rejoins the team?

hi Joe
just a quick little question, well actually two

1) which episode of SG1 do you prefer? one you've been working on or not ? and why ?

We're working on a lot of terrific episodes for season 9. To be fair, they're in various stages of development so it's hard to pick a favorite given we have yet to see a finished product. If pressed, however, I'd probably go with "The Ties That Bind" because it was great fun to write and even more fun to watch being shot.

2) do you film some stuffs that you utilize later on ?I mean is that possible that you film something at the end of a season and use at the beginning of the next one ?? can you do that or is it in opposition with the actors' contract or anything like that ? have you ever done it ? or do you plan to ?

by any chance

Let's just say we don't do it on purpose. Borrowing scenes from previously shot episodes (and I'm not referring to clip shows here) is problematic for various reasons.

**Verona** · 15 May 2005, 06:28 PM

Mr Mallozzi, This may not be in your area but I'm curious to know the reasoning behind dropping the always enjoyable commentaries from the season eight DVD's. Is this just pressure of work? or will they be included in some other version, such as the box set?
Thanks for taking the time to keep in touch and making us feel like part of the SG family.

**Livi2Jack** · 15 May 2005, 06:31 PM

Dear Joe,

So, If Jack is now doing Gen. Hammond's job, is he promoted to Maj. Gen? Because it says he picks Landry who is a two star so how is that possible that a one star picks a two star and takes over the oversight position at the Pentagon without being promoted? And therefore is he now not Carter's direct line commander and can be her love interest per AF regs?

And, how is it possible he does not have the Congressional Medal of Honor on his ribbons after everything especially S8?

Hey Joe--

Is Daniel going to keep that fuzzy face all season? If it's because people think Michael Shanks looks like Browder, he doesn't, and Daniel looks even less like Mitchell, especially when Daniel's wearing his glasses. PLEASE get that fuzz off his face!!!

Thank you :-)

Dana Jeanne

He won't be keeping it all season.

Joe, we appreciate you being here, but as anxious as many fans are about the future of the Sam/Jack ship right now, the quote above is just a mean thing to say!

As to shooting with RDA in L. A., you said in another post above that it would be more expensive than we think it would be. Well, from my broadcast background, let me offer you a low-cost alternative to studio shoots. For about $200-$400 dollars a month (I'm familiar with East Coast prices; aren't things always "slightly higher west of the Rockies"?), you could install an ISDN phone line (broadcast quality) at his house and let him do phoners. In the fans' minds, that would keep him in touch with Sam (or "alive and well on the Stargate canvas," as you promised), and would beat NOTHING----which is what we're all afraid we're going to get.

Could the budget bear that?

The budget may be able to bear it, but I'd wager that most of our audience won't. Lengthy onscreen phone conversations wouldn't exactly make for great televison.
