*"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.

*"As pitched, both Suffer the Children and Orpheus [sic] are Carter stories. Extreme Measures is an SG-1 team episode.

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?

*"Two of the things that stand out about Morpheus for me are: 1) the great Carter/Daniel sequence late in the episode [described by Mallozzi as "angsty" in the comments section of his December 21 Blog entry] and, 2) Teal'c getting the opportunity to step up in a non-Jaffa story. As I mentioned in a previous post (somewhere), this is the episode where we're faced with the prospect of Vala's continued involvement in the Stargate Program and must ask ourselves some hard questions. By "we", of course, I'm referring to the SGC. [...] Anyhow, this is the episode where those in charge of the SGC [...] weigh in on Vala's worth, character, and past actions.

*"We're also not just throwing Vala on the team. One of the things that we all agreed we loved about her character was the fact that she's a bit of an outsider with an attitude, and that that attitude doesn't necessarily fit right in immediately. And if you just suddenly had her change her personality and join the team and be accepted, it wouldn't feel right. It would probably not be nearly as interesting as keeping her character as a bit of a wildcard.

*"One of the things I like most about working on this show is that we're able to tell a variety of stories. I mean, there's ''Morpheus'', which is the first episode that Paul Mullie and I wrote for ''SG-1'' this season. It's off-world, weird, kind of ''quiet'' mystery juxtaposed with this comedic B-story involving the Vala character. I'm so happy with how it turned out. [...] ...she [Claudia Black] has excellent comedic timing. Claudia has the rhythm down and is wonderful opposite a psychiatrist played by Ben Ratner, who also does a great job in the episode.

*"I personally think Morpheus is one of the best looking SG-1 episodes ever. The backstory is this: at the start of the year, there were some changes with the Art Department/Production Design team, and modifications were made to our village set which… well… let’s just say not everybody was a fan. But we have some absolutely superb painters and set dressers. They did a paint overhaul, and added a lot of vegetation set decoration. And then Peter Woeste – well all I can say is he is one hell of a photographer. He added just the right amount of atmosphere (read: smoke), and did his photographic magic, and made the village set look amazing for this episode. I think you’ll agree when you see it." — Alex Levine, Script Coordinator, SciFi.com Blog, July 21, 2006. | |||
*"Also get a load of the VFX lizard. Very cool. I was talking to the producers about the VFX for the show. The show has an in-house VFX department, of course, but sometimes we have so much going on they have to outsource certain effects, and with varying degrees of success. Rob Cooper was mentioning how you can usually tell if the VFX are going to be great at the initial modeling stage – when the VFX artists come in with their rough models of the character or ship and its related action. It’s either “Yeah!” or “Uh oh.” But all the shops put a lot of effort into it. And Image Engine did a superb job on this lizard!" — Alex Levine, Script Coordinator, SciFi.com Blog, July 21, 2006. | |||

Précis
Still searching for Merlin's weapon, the team visits a world where going to sleep might mean never waking up. Meanwhile, Landry is faced with having to decide whether or not Vala can be trusted to remain at the SGC and has her submit to a psychiatric evaluation.
Guide | Transcript
SciFi.com Official Summary
The armies of Origin push deeper into the galaxy, conquering planets with terrifying ease. Earth's best hope for defense is the legendary weapon that Merlin developed to destroy Ascended Beings [Sangreal], so SG-1 can't gear up fast enough when Daniel discovers a 'gate address to a world where the device might be hidden.
Vala wants to accompany them, but Gen. Landry insists that she pass a psychiatric evaluation before joining Stargate Command as an official off-world explorer. Vala, of course, sets out to beat the tests by lying shamelessly. When her usual schemes don't work and she senses herself failing completely, however, she becomes truly discouraged. Only then does she finally consider confessing how much SG-1 and their mission truly mean to her.
Mitchell, Carter, Daniel and Teal'c, meanwhile, 'gate to the planet Vagonbrei, where they stumble upon a village full of skeletal corpses. After summoning Dr. Reimer and his medical team to investigate, they continue their search for the weapon, which Daniel believes that Morgan Le Fay, another Ancient, might have hidden in a nearby cave. The cave, however, is empty. Worse, one of Dr. Reimer's men, Ackerman, suddenly falls into a deep sleep — and they can't wake him up.
Tests reveal that his brain is producing too much melatonin, a hormone that induces sleep. As SG-1 and the medical team begin to feel drowsy, they realize that whatever killed the villagers has infected them, too. They institute a quarantine, request that Stargate Command send them every stimulant drug and cup of coffee available, and get to work on a cure.
In the last entries of the town records, Daniel finds references to a sleeping curse that Morgan cast on the villagers. With that clue, Mitchell and Teal'c explore her cave more thoroughly while Carter and Reimer discover a microscopic parasite living within the cave's soil. After Ackerman dies in his sleep, an autopsy reveals that an identical parasite, now grown large enough to cause a fatal aneurysm, has been gorging itself on the melatonin in Ackerman's brain. Morgan's curse is clearly biological — not magical — and absolutely deadly.
When Reimer abruptly dies of a heart attack caused by a stimulant overdose, Carter and Daniel are left waging a losing battle to keep each other conscious. Meanwhile, at the cave, Mitchell and Teal'c discover a critical clue. But even if they muster the energy to carry it back to the village, the four can't engineer a cure without medical help….
