Production Notes

• "Speaking of perfect pairings, I couldn’t think of anyone better than Carl Binder to write #5." — Joseph Mallozzi (November 11, 2008).
• "With a first draft of episode #1 in hand and episodes #2-4 mapped out, we turned our attention to episode #5, Carl’s baby. After much heated debate on the motivating factors that 'complicate things for our gang', we ended up breaking the story in a little less than two hours." — Joseph Mallozzi (November 13, 2008).
• "So far, Martin, Carl, and Alan have put out outlines (and I’ve already provided notes on all three)..." — Joseph Mallozzi (December 5, 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)
• "Carl and Marty G. have already delivered their first drafts." — Joseph Mallozzi (January 7, 2009)
• "Carl’s script, Water, finally went out and it includes a touching reminiscence of a dog delivered in Carl’s inimitable style. I’m tearing up just writing about it. But I’ve already said too much!" — Joseph Mallozzi (January 8, 2009)
• "Martin delivered his revised Earth and Carl did the same for Water." — Joseph Mallozzi (January 30, 2009)
• "Carl has finished work on his first SGU script, Water, and is moving on to an outline for his second script." — Joseph Mallozzi (February 3, 2009)
• "Carl, meanwhile, completed his rewrite on Water and awaits word on whether he’ll be doing another pass or handing it off. At 57 pages and given the type of episode it is, Rob feels he’s going to need to trim it down." — Joseph Mallozzi (February 12, 2009)
