Production Notes

• There will be an SG-1 crossover episode, but when asked if Michael Shanks as Daniel Jackson will be included, Mallozzi responded, "It’s possible but we have another actor in mind for the big crossover episode that Carl will be writing." (Joseph Mallozzi's April 15 blog)
• "And Carl has started work on the relationships episode. He’ll be moving onto the cross-over episode once he’s done." (Joseph Mallozzi's May 7 blog)
• "We start the spinning. There’s the other Earth-based episode Joe F. pitched out. The return-of-that-character two-parter with its Fargo-esque first part, the big team-up eppy, and the puzzle piece." (Joseph Mallozzi's June 1 blog)
• "Carl has finished revising Quarantine and already has an outline in place for Midway." Most probably this refers to the Midway Space Station (we're currently assuming the title "Midway" applies to this particular episode). As far as which SG-1 characters will be present in the "big crossover", there are no plans to bring Ben Browder or Claudia Black into Season Four. (Joseph Mallozzi's June 8 blog)
• Concerning which SG-1 character will be crossing over, "Will let you know once his deal has been closed." (Joseph Mallozzi's June 18 blog)
• "Today, we gave Alan notes on his outline, discussed Midway, and had a very brief discussion of Martin’s next episode which we should start breaking tomorrow. That will leave three scripts to be written when we get back: the Joe F. story, Paul’s season finale idea, and the empty slot." (Joseph Mallozzi's June 18 blog)
• "After taking time off to do a little fishing, Carl is heavy into Midway. It’ll be great to finally see the big men spar. It’ll also be nice to have Kavanagh back. Unfortunately, he won’t find his return quite as enjoyable." (Joseph Mallozzi's July 12 blog)
• "Carl managed to put out his Final Draft of Midway (Final Draft being a misnomer really since he’ll be revising that sucker between now and about two days after it’s been shot)." (Joseph Mallozzi's July 25 blog)
• "Stages 1-3 (the puddle jumper, a section of new Midway set, the gimbled set for Trio, the Daedalus/Apollo bridge and its various corridors)." (Joseph Mallozzi's August 6 blog)
• "Midway is looking big, Big, BIG! Oh, and BamBam [James Bamford, stunt and fight coordinator] has been working on that sparring scene for weeks." (Joseph Mallozzi's August 15 blog)
• "Of course by the time I got outside, I happened across a practice sparring session [between Jason Momoa and Christopher Judge] being serenaded by a clearly-down-on-his-luck street musician [Joe Flanigan on his guitar] and had to snap some more pics." (Joseph Mallozzi's August 16 blog)
• Concerning Christopher Judge's appearances: "He’ll make a cameo in Reunion and put in a full appearance in Midway." (Joseph Mallozzi's August 27 blog)
• There are behind-the-scene pictures that include Christopher Judge, Ben Cotton, Bill Dow, and Gary Jones in Joseph Mallozzi's blog entries for August 26 and 28.
