But in a good way. Trust me you don't want to hear some of the stuff we come up with in our barracks when we're bored.

A new bit from JM:

Happy Fourth of July to our neighbors down south! Also, Happy National Country Music Day! AND Happy Tom Sawyer Fence-Painting Day! I celebrated all three by working on my script. It reads pretty solid to me. But then again, I’m the guy who wrote it. Wait until the other writers get their critical little fingers on my masterpiece. It’s always the same thing. Paul will feel there’s too much philosophical introspection while Marty G. will feels there’s not enough. Alan will inevitably demand a better understanding of the deeper cultural subtext that underlies the off-world scenes. And Carl will criticize the font. Well, after tomorrow, it will no longer be my problem as I’ll be emailing it to Paul who will do his pass, after which hiatus will be over, we’ll be back at work, and it will be my problem again as we begin prep on The Kindred Part I.

I spoke to Paul McGillion just before the hiatus kicked off and pitched out what we had in store for him. He was very excited about the story and very much looking forward to coming back. And we look forward to having him back and, of course once again being audience to his beautiful singing voice.

Hmmm... so the suggestion here is that Beckett might be involved in these episodes? It is promising to hear that Paul McGillion is excited about the story arc - maybe TPTB will handle Beckett's return properly after all!

This news gives added creedence to the idea that 'The Kindred' might be a Michael episode.

Hints from Joe:

Alan is plugging away on Kindred II which is an episode fans will no doubt be looking forward to. No pressure, Alan. Paul, meanwhile, phoned me up to discuss some of the changes he wants to make to Kindred I. The fact that wraith ships don’t possess shields certainly complicates matters, but I’ve always loved Paul’s idea of giving them limited regenerative capabilities. And, if it survives the polish, we get to find out where Lorne grew up. Any guesses?

We’ll be back in the offices on Monday at it looks like a week of meetings for yours truly as we head directly into prep on Kindred I, to be directed by SG-1 alumni Peter Woeste. Damn. I’ll miss spending quality time with the dogs.

So we finally get some backstory on Lorne? Awesome!

I seem to remember there was some backstory on him in "Sunday." I guess it is how you define some.

[Xicer]

Really? Ahh I must of missed it or forgot.

Hmm....interesting. How could the shieldless Hive ships complicate things? You'd think that if our team was fighting a Hive, it'd make things *less* complicated. Strange.

I think Lorne grew up on the West Coast of the US. What about you?

[Xicer]

I think he meant that it complicates things from a writing standpoint. Wraith Hive ships not having shields probably introduced problems with the story or something.
