Photos: Chocolates, walnut cakes disguising as frozen chicken wings from a distance, and set photos from "The Daedalus Variations".

Write-Up: Joe plans to procrastinates on his writing duties this weekend thanks to March Madness. Also, Joe comments on the recent loss of Arthur C. Clarke and Gary Gygax. Finally...

Carl put out his first draft of Tracker today. In a word: awesome! McKay and Ronon make a terrific team. We also sat down to a director’s cut of The Seed. Great episode. Poor Zelenka.

Questions:

Joe answers questions now? Since when?!

Poor Zelenka?

ACK!

He lost the betting pool?

The IRS tracked him down in the Pegasus Galaxy?

Please…nothing TOO much in the whumpage, deathage, etc. area for our WONDERFUL Zelenka!

MARCH 20th

With 9 of the 32 first round games complete, Baron Destructo is looking pretty good in the inter-office NCAA March Madness pool. While he and his fellow aliens and mutants for evil are enjoying the games from the high-tech comfort of their moonbase headquarters, I hosted a little get-together at my place. Special features producer Ivon Bartok was the first to arrive, bearing troubling news on the bloopers front. The directors printed the amusing outtakes, the editors marked them for quick reference, Ivon went through them all and created a terrific piece, the producers signed off on it, and now there’s a bit of a hold up. If it doesn’t get resolved by the end of next week, I’m afraid this particular special feature may end up D.O.A. Tobias Slezak, a.k.a. Tech Sergeant Dale James in Heroes I and II, a.k.a. Alex Levine’s brother, arrived a little later, immediately plunking himself down on theater chair at which point Lulu immediately plunked herself down on him. Alex Levine, who clearly enjoys sleeping in, arrived in time to catch the end of the Xavier-Georgia match-up. Alex has been hard at work on his very first Atlantis script, Inquisition, that will address an issue a number of you have brought up of late.

Among the interesting statistics provided by wordpress is a weekly breakdown of the search terms used by visitors to this blog. The search term “joe mallozzi” was used by 111 visitors. “joseph mallozzi” was second at 76. Further down the list, “ umbilical cord kitten cat worrisome” steered 2 visitors to this site, tying it with “googlion”, “cat birth”, “prime rib traduction”, “large blue human eyes” and “I am looking for a picture of a cocker s”. “birth machine”, “expedition limo”, and “baby kitties” brought in one apiece. Interesting.

Or not.

Today’s pics: Everyone enjoys sushi and basketball - with the exception of Lulu who is bummed at the Georgia Bulldogs first round exit.

Let’s do some mailbag -

Masterchief writes: “ I read an article about Amanda Tapping’s involvement in season 5. remember a few weeks ago when I asked you about her? you said she’ll definitely be back. according to this interview she “returns to Atlantis to film at least part of the end of season 5?. “

Answer: Carter will be in Search and Rescue and is definitely slated for an episode in the back half. Any further appearances will be wholly dependent on Amanda’s schedule.

PG15 writes: “1. Would you say that there are hints/foreshadowing in any of the first 9 episodes of the season of the new race/enemy introduced during the Mid-season 2 parter?

2. I know how ideas are thrown out at the writers’ table during spin sessions, and sometimes a writer gets to write his own idea, while at other times he scripts anothers’ idea. Of the scripts you write, are more of them from your own ideas, or the other writers’ ideas?”

Answers: 1. I would not. 2. In the case of both Broken Ties and Whispers, the ideas were mine.

Bex writes: “…in unending there is a scene where vala is crying and daniel is comforting her. Can you tell us why she was crying?”

Answer: That’s a question for Robert Cooper. If you’re nice, once the rest of the world has had the chance to watch the dvd, I’ll ask Rob if he’d like to do another special guest blog entry dedicated to The Ark of Truth.

LostCityGuardian writes: “ You realise that speculation is going to run wild now that Zelenka will be killed off.”

Answer: Probably.

LL writes: “I’d like to send them to you. What’s the best address to send them to?”

Answer: [email protected]

Zabadoo writes: “When you wrote the Michael/Teyla/Beckett arc for the end of season 4, did you plan on stretching it out to season 5?”

Answer: We did not plan to resolve the storyline in season 4.

Elizabeth S. writes: “When are you going to say when the season four DVD set is coming out?”

Answer: Um, never. I have no idea.

thanks for posting prion. I was watching basketball and writing and just forgot to check it this evening.

[suse]

Ah yes, but we got PHOTOS! Who needs questions asked when we get dirty shots of David and Kavan?

:O

suse

I think this is a case of ying and yang. We need the balance to keep universal harmony and all that. You ladies can have their pictures of dirty David and Kavan and we guys can have our questions. Everyone's happy!

Just happened to be passing through and hit it. He usually posts so late (my time zone) I normally don't check till the a.m.

Hey, we ladies like the questions too. Wouldn't be surprised we ask the bulk of 'em

Actually, if they get dirty pics of David and Kavan then it is only fair we get the same with Vega and Sam

[Alan]

Only 'cause Joe has a weakness for the ladies and common sense. He ignored all the questions I put to him. There's a word for that - favouritism.

Now there's a suggestion! Glad someone here is tuned in to Sanity F.M.

[Guest]

Nope

*cough*

My point exactly ...anyway you're one to talk

Carl put out his first draft of Tracker today. In a word: awesome! McKay and Ronon make a terrific team. We also sat down to a director’s cut of The Seed. Great episode. Poor Zelenka.

Answer: Probably.

Uggghhhhh, this is soooooo going to drive me nuts until we know the truth!

[Killdeer]

Uggghhhhh, this is soooooo going to drive me nuts until we know the truth!

According to Stargate Solutions, Zelenka

Spoiler:

appears in Ghost in the Machine. So I think he probably survives.

[Nolamom]

Knowing Joe, it just means that he's going to suffer some whumpage. It's rather too soon to kill off another major character.
