"Intervention" (201) Pre-Airing Discussion/Speculation Thread

[EvilSpaceAlien]

Writer: Paul Mullie
Director: Andy Mikita

---

So we have the title for the first episode of season two!

More spinning today in the writers’ room and more headway made on those first ten episodes. We ended up discussing the details of episode 1 (Paul will be doing the honors on this one), talking about the what’s and wherefore’s and, most importantly, answering Brad’s burning question: “How the hell are we going to get out of this one?!

1) Is ”Incursion” a three parter? Seems to make the most sense since 02×02 is ”Aftermath”.

Answer: 1) Yes, I guess it can be considered a three-parter.

First up was the second season premiere in which the events of Incursion I and II come to an explosive conclusion. Chock full of great character moments, Paul’s first draft is tight and well-written. It took us all of twenty minutes to go through it.

Major D. Davis writes: “1. Is Andy mikita directing the season 2 premier?

2. Is the season 2 premier called incursion part 3?”

Answers: Yes and no.

Congratulations. Several of you finally guessed the title to episode #1 of season two – and all you had to do was run through every word in the English dictionary starting with I-N-T. So the newly revised SGU second season episode list looks like this:

#1: INTERVENTION

#2: AFTERMATH

#3: AWAKENINGS

#4: P*******

#5: C*********

In your face PG15!!

Darn pg, you got smoked.

*clap...clap...clap..clap clap clap clap clap*

Well done, well done. And you even posted the previous updates!

That said, I have been without Internet for the past 3 days since I was moving to a new house, so, you know, you were lucky. Just a note though: I will be without Internet for a few hours each day (the time I spend at home) for the next 3 days, until I get my Internet connected.

Also, HOLY CRAP NEW FORUM!!

No internet!
How are you holding up? Are you going to see a therapist?

And yes, the new forum is very pretty. So shiny...*stares*

[major davis]

I don't know if I like it yet. Ugh. Sigh. Only time will tell. Stinks about the Internet though. Hope it gets back to normal.

[jelgate]

Oh how the mighy have fallen

[reddevil18]

Poor PG. He's just not the same anymore. Old age, most likely. Do they have good nursing homes in BC?

Also, I assume this episode has to do with Park and how everyone decides an intervention is the best way to deal with her obsessive...errr, reading.

Indeed. I find this forum colour dull.

And intervention from earth can be expected in this episode is my guess

[Makenshi]

Here we go, SGA 2x01 all over again... except this time it's a one-way trip to Destiny for whoever steps through the gate, and there will be no Deadalus support/ferry, so I think it's ok. Think of it like an upgraded good old idea.

BUT! We could be wrong, and the Intervention not come from Earth, but from from the race Rush meets*

Hmmm intervention...

Are they finally going to confront young's "fist to face" therapy?
Eli's handheld gameboy?
Greer's affinity for improvised weaponry?
That wont go well, Wray "Greer, i think you need to hand over your weapons"
Greer "No, i need it" Greer presses the flame thrower a little to make a hot potato, sprinkling some flakes of cheese which is just more potato.
Making scott a chastity belt? nah
Confronting rush's drinking problems even though he doesn't drink, just sort of acts it?
"Rush, this is an intervention."
"Shove off."

Fingers crossed for the Greer one.

[PG15]

I finally got Internet back at my house! Wooo!!

Poor PG. He's just not the same anymore. Old age, most likely. Do they have good nursing homes in BC?

No. We shuttle our old folks to the nearby forests where they live on maple syrup and moose meat while tending to their igloos and chesterfields.

Oh hey, so there's a little bit more info I've collected for this episode that hasn't been posted; it's nothing big, but I want to add it for completeness:

The rest of the day was fairly uneventful, spent breaking Episode 1 of Stargate: Universe’s second season and, of course, approving a couple of hundred comments.

Paul, meanwhile, finished his [episode outline] today. He’s off on the annual end-of-season golf trip with some of the other producers and wanted to make sure he got it out of the way.

Yesterday, we gave and received notes on three outlines: Episode 1 (Paul’s story, which will shoot second),

No poutine for the elderly? No wonder so many Canadians immigrate across the border

[PG15]

They immigrate to get AWAY from the poutine.

[jelgate]

But I love poutine. Thats it. I'm moving Canada.


Now I need an intervention

might be the rush ep
