"Gauntlet" (220) Pre-Airing Discussion/Speculation Thread Spoilers

[Jumper_One]

Success! I finished my rewrite of The Hunt, finally nailing that tricky fourth act scene. I’ll re-read it sometime this weekend and put it out on Tuesday after which my entire week will be free to spin episode 20, the season finale, that Paul will probably be writing (unless the approaching rewrites prove too time-consuming in which case I’ll be doing the honors).

Well, so much for best intentions. The plan was to start beating out the big season finale this morning, but with Brad on Stage 6 overseeing the first day of main unit on Seizure and Carl down on Stage 5 overseeing the icky second unit action on Hope, we never did get around to gathering.Then, after lunch, I was in casting for two hours, checking out potential Corporal Reynolds, Sara Johansens, Steven Johansens, 12 year old TJ’s, and Tasia’s. By the time I got back upstairs, it was too late and now we’re eyeing Monday as a potential target of opportunity.

Finally, I was going to address some of the “fan” conspiracy concerns in today’s mailbag but got sidetracked by prep on The Hunt, spinning episode 20, and this blog entry. [...]

so will Season 2 end with a two part episode like season 1 did? with Blockade being Part 1 and whatever the season finale will be named being part 2?

I don't know if will a true two parter like Incursion but given SGU's serialized nature with many episodes ended without the conclusion that seems like a safe prediction

I hope destiny blockades the Smurf world and eats them.

I don't know why but I seem to be obsessed with some crew members eventually eating some of the aliens they come across.

Thats messed up :O

This title reminded me to SG-1 4x03 Upgrades.

I put out my outline for episode 20, Gauntlet, and look forward to the feedback.[...]

I wonder if the writers are rethinking this episode, given the numbers the première brought in...

Probably not. Also, EatG, remember...

Even if they were it largely has to stay the same

How do you mean?

How do you mean?

By the time SGA was cancelled EATG was too far in production to make any changes to a series finale

[KEK]

Pretty sure that wasn't the case. The entire episode was shot on standing sets.
