Production Notes

• "Brad has laid claim to #4, a story that is right up his alley." — Joseph Mallozzi (November 11, 2008).
• "Of the first ten episodes broken, we have a grand total of 0 forested planets. I’m not saying we won’t, eventually, come across one but, for the time being, the emphasis is on the ship and some locations atypical of Stargate. As a matter of fact, Executive Producer Robert Cooper and Director Andy Mikita are in New Mexico as we speak, scouting a cool-looking alien setting." — Joseph Mallozzi (December 19, 2008)
• "Brad, meanwhile, is motoring along on Fire." — Joseph Mallozzi (January 30, 2009)
• "Brad is working on Fire and, from what I hear, is very happy with the way it’s coming along. It’s a great story and, as I’ve already said, right up Brad’s alley. Looking forward to reading the first draft. This episode will see a certain fan favorite retake the director’s chair." — Joseph Mallozzi (February 12, 2009)
• "Brad reports he should have a first draft of Fire sometime next week." — Joseph Mallozzi (February 17, 2009)
