4.xx "The Kindred Part 1"
- Written by: Joseph Mallozzi
- Directed by:
- Storyline:
- Production Notes: "I am pleased to announce that Carson Beckett will be returning to Atlantis for a two-part story in the back half of season four. When he returns for the two-parter, it will be Carson Beckett in the flesh. Late in season three, we discussed the manner in which the character had been written out and the possible ways in which he could be brought back. I threw out an idea that not only brought Carson back, but answered a very big question I had concerning a late-season arc. In order to lay the groundwork for his possible return, we threaded a subtle hint into one of the late season three episodes. So, if fans want to know how we plan on bringing the good doctor back from the dead, they should seek out the hidden clue when the back half of season three returns to SciFi this Friday, April 13th. Well, I don’t want to give too much away but I can say it won’t be an AU version of Carson - or a time-hopping Dr. Beckett either." (Joseph Mallozzi in an interview at the Save Carson Beckett Campaign Site, April 9, 2007) "Then there’s the two-part return of THAT character. Which brings us to episodes 17." (Joseph Mallozzi's May 7 blog) "Alas, the Beckett episode count is presently at 2 because the planned third episode was temporarily shelved." (Joseph Mallozzi's May 10 blog) "We start the spinning. [..] The return-of-that-character two-parter with its Fargo-esque first part..." (Joseph Mallozzi's June 1 blog) "After all lunch, we finally started work on the first part of the late season two-parter, what Carl has tentatively titled “Rise of the Googlions”." (Joseph Mallozzi's June 6 blog) "We needed the energy as we finally finished breaking Rise of the Googlions Part I today. I’ll be doing the honors, which means I get to work on the outline this weekend." (Joseph Mallozzi's June 8 blog) "Well, spent most of the early afternoon writing the outline for Rise of the Googlions Part I. A number of pieces fall into place as many of the things we’ve been building toward come to fruition (and not in a sweet apple sort of way either). Surprises in store; revelations galore." (Joseph Mallozzi's June 9 blog) "Back at work today and I’m pleased to report I completed the Tease of my newly retitled script - The Kindred, Part I." (Joseph Mallozzi's June 18 blog)

(Joseph Mallozzi's June 8 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' June 18 blog)

4.xx "Midway"
- Written by: Carl Binder
- Directed by:
- Storyline:
- 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' June 18 blog)
