10.01 PREMIERE (unknown working title)
(Written by: Robert C. Cooper; Directed by: _)
- "Rob is writing the big season premiere that will pick up where Camelot left off, and kick off a major story arc." — Joseph Mallozzi, November 28 Blog.
- We finally got around to spinning/breaking SG-1 last week only after the final deal had been closed (so that we knew exactly who we would be writing for, which always makes things infinitely easier). Rob has staked out the big season premiere." — Joseph Mallozzi in his GateWorld Blog, November 21.

10.02 "Morpheus" (working title)
(Written by: Joseph Mallozzi/Paul Mullie; Directed by: _)
- "I wrote up the four outlines over two days (Atlantis episode #2, Morpheus, Counter-Strike, and Memento Mori), then started work on Morpheus which will be SG-1's second episode. It was a lot of fun but required a heady amount of research: Arthurian lore, Gwalchmei, the different stages of sleep, how the brain functions during sleep, and, of course, psychiatric evaluations. With Vala on board for all of season 10, we have to ask ourselves: Why would she want to join Stargate Command? Why would we want her to join Stargate Command? And, of course, do we feel that we can trust her? All of these questions come up in this episode and are answered, temporarily at least." — Joseph Mallozzi, December 14 Blog.
- "Claudia [Black] will be in all 20 episodes and will have a major role in season 10. As to what her [Vala Mal Doran's] position will be at Stargate Command, check out episode #2, tentatively titled Morpheus." — Joseph Mallozzi, Aust Sci Fi interview, December 9.
- Concerning Vala's past untrustworthiness and her role in Stargate Command: "It's funny you should bring this up since, just this morning, I was writing a scene in which Daniel and Landry have this very conversation. There are strong arguments on both side of the debate, and an added little element you all won't be aware of until much later." — Joseph Mallozzi, SG1Solutions Forum, December 3.
- "Morpheus, for instance, has elements of the overall arc that will drive season 10, but is, for all intents and purposes, a stand-alone episode." — Joseph Mallozzi, SG1Solutions Forum, November 30.
- "Episode 2, Morpheus, finds the team going off-world and getting in a mess of trouble." — Joseph Mallozzi, November 28 Blog.
- "A refashioned Morpheus will be episode 2." — Joseph Mallozzi, SG1Solutions Forum, November 28.
- "I and/or Paul will be writing the second episode, formerly Morpheus but since some are worried that fans may confuse it with Orpheus or Moebius, I've decided to change the title to: "Before I Sleeping With the Enemy at the Gates of Heaven Can Wait Until Dark Water World" (Feel free to run with it. Knock yourselves out)." — Joseph Mallozzi in his GateWorld Blog, November 21.
- Morpheus is from Greek mythology. He is the god of dreams and usually takes on the form of humans, while his brothers take on the form of animals and inanimate objects. — Mythography: Morpheus; WikiPedia: Morpheus.
- "As pitched, both Suffer the Children and Orpheus [sic] are Carter stories. Extreme Measures is an SG-1 team episode. The Darkest Recesses a "Daniel in peril" episode." — Joseph Mallozzi in the Comments section for his GateWorld Blog entry of November 13. As of right now, "Suffer the Children", "Extreme Measures", and "The Darkest Recesses" have not yet been slated for production.
- "I've always been better pitching on paper than delivering verbal pitches, so I wrote up a bunch of story ideas for both shows: Extreme Measures, In the Darkest Recesses, The Kindred, Suffer the Children, Yesterday Today and Tomorrow, The Tainted, and Morpheus. I do know that Brad [Wright] liked Morpheus." — Joseph Mallozzi in his GateWorld Blog, November 13.

10.03 BRAD'S DANIEL STORY (unknown working title)
(Written by: Brad Wright; Directed by: _)
- "As I mentioned in my previous blog entry, the occasionally bespectacled one takes a trip far, far away in episode 3. Brad will be doing the honors on this one. Very interesting. There was plenty of heated debate in the writers' room while we were breaking this one." — Joseph Mallozzi, November 28 Blog.
- "Tomorrow, it's episode #3, Brad's Daniel story, that sees the occasionally-bespectacled one travel far, far away." — Joseph Mallozzi in his GateWorld Blog, November 21.

10.06 200TH EPISODE (unknown working title)
(Written by: _; Directed by: _)
- "Episode 6 will be, of course, our 200th episode and we've tossed around some great, albeit insane, ideas on this one." — Joseph Mallozzi, November 28 Blog.

10.07 "Counter-Strike" (working title)
(Written by: Joseph Mallozzi/Paul Mullie; Directed by: _)
- Vala will learn about Sha're and Amaunet in this episode. (Joseph Mallozzi, SG1Solutions, December 18)
- "The plan was to finish one script and write the second one in January when we got back to the office, choosing one and letting Paul write the Atlantis and the third SG-1. Well, that was the plan but after a couple of days of R&R, I started to feel guilty, so I started the second script, Counter-Strike, which I believe has been slotted for the 7 spot. Lots of good emotion in this one, bonding, and a significant loss at episode's end. I'm kind of concerned about the visual effects budget on this one and will look to trim a little in my next pass." — Joseph Mallozzi, December 14 Blog.
- "We ended up breaking episode 7 today which either Paul and/or I will write. This one is going to be a lot of fun. Brad said it reminded him of Reckoning, and no wonder." — Joseph Mallozzi, November 28 Blog.

10.08 "Memento Mori" (working title)
(Written by: Joseph Mallozzi/Paul Mullie; Directed by: _)
- "Going back with two scripts would be huge. Going back would be mind-blowing. So, I've started work on Memento Mori, which I believe is slotted for the 8 spot. I'm only into the first act and, ideally, would love to get it done before the family comes to visit on the 23rd. This one will also be a lot of fun and have already done a little research on memories, a certain war goddess from Cronos's neck of the woods, and Caribbean deli menus." — Joseph Mallozzi, December 14 Blog.
- "Episode 8 is going to be the Vala story I pitched (which came to me after a carafe of sake last Friday night) and we'll be getting around to breaking that one tomorrow. Ivon [Bartok, DVD Features] was in the room today, recording it all for a possible season 10 special feature." — Joseph Mallozzi, November 28 Blog.
