The season of the return of “much-loved, solely missed characters”
Executive Producer Joseph Mallozzi keeps in touch with inquisitive fans with his “Ask Joe Mallozzi” Q&A thread on GateWorld and his personal GateWorld Blog. Often, he’ll provide a teaser about upcoming episodes of Stargate SG-1‘s ninth season.
Recently, Mallozzi posted in his Blog, “Certain scheduling changes have necessitated our making changes to The 4th Horseman I and II. But change is good, especially in this case since it means (I know it sounds like I’m repeating myself) the return of a much-loved, sorely missed character. I think this season will be known as the season of returning much-loved, sorely missed characters. Anyways, it’ll be great to have “this individual”, my fellow gourmand, back in town.”
On the same day, he answered a question in his GateWorld Q&A which might be related to his Blog entry, “Hammond retired and is currently serving as an advisor to President Hayes. Will he appear in season 9. I’ve already answered that question today.”
At the recently held Comic Con in San Diego, Executive Producers Robert C. Cooper and Brad Wright confirmed that Don S. Davis will return as Hammond in the mid-season two-parter, “The Fourth Horseman”.
