“Maybe some of them do [survive the dragon], and maybe some of them don’t,” Mallozzi said with a laugh. “Just for argument’s sake, if one of them were to survive—if he or she would reach the Sangraal—they’d be in for a bit of surprise.”

Mallozzi talks a lot about “The Quest Part 2” and the team’s adventures with Ba’al and Adria. At the end of the interview, he speaks about the show’s cancellation and the two direct-to-DVD movies, Stargate: The Ark of Truth and Stargate: Continuum.

“The Replicator threat mounts over the course of this third season,” Mallozzi said in an interview. “And there’s a powerful palpable loss in one episode in particular that I’m sure will shock the fans.”

Mallozzi speaks about “The Return Part 2” as the show returns to its Friday timeslot, and then touches on a few of the episodes that will be airing until the show’s season finale, “First Strike”.

Mallozzi and Paul Mullie will be the showrunners for the fourth season of Stargate Atlantis, currently in production and due to premiere in the fall of this year on the Sci Fi Channel.
