Production Notes

• "Spent the day spinning - Alan’s story which is looking more like a third part to the mid-season two-parter. Another revelation in a season full of surprises, an unlikely alliance, and things develop for Teyla." (Joseph Mallozzi's April 20 blog)
• "Alan is working on what [we] like to call “the third part of the mid-season two-parter”." (Joseph Mallozzi's May 7 blog)
• "We just never got around to it [giving Maj. Lorne a first name]. But Alan has given him a name in Spoils of War. It starts with a W. We’ll see if it sticks." (Joseph Mallozzi's May 27 blog)
• Fans brought to Joseph Mallozzi's attention in the comment section of his blog that Lorne already had a first name: Evan. Mallozzi did some investigation, and reports the results: "Oh, so Evan it is. Evan Lorne. In all fairness to Alan who was anoint everyone’s favorite Major with the Wesley moniker, no one could remember naming the character. But after some not-so-gentle fan prodding, Alex Levine dug up the truth. He was never actually called Evan at anytime, but in First Strike, he did wear a flight suit and said flight suit did require a name. So, Evan it is. Or, rather, Evan it still is." (Joseph Mallozzi's May 31 blog)
• "Alan’s Spoils of War is almost prepped and ready to shoot, promising wraithy revelations." (Joseph Mallozzi's June 1 blog)
• "We watched the director’s cut of Spoils of War (I’m so glad I ate my breakfast before sitting down to watch that wraith birthing scene)..." (Joseph Mallozzi's July 16 blog)
