9.18 "Arthur's Mantle"
"Alan is finishing up his second draft of Arthur's Mantle." — Joseph Mallozzi in his GateWorld Blog, August 23. (Written by Alan McCullough)
According to Arthurian legends, Arthur's mantle, or cloak, gave the wearer invisibility while he could see everyone around him. Arthur's mantle is one of the Thirteen Treasures of the Island of Britain which "reveal a preoccupation with worthiness of the person finding or using them: they will not work for the unworthy. This is a clear indication of their function in the king's relationship with Sovereignty: they cannot be found or wielded by any save the rightful king or champion of the king. Merlin was supposed to have procured these from their owners and taken them to his abode of glass on Bardsey Island." — Encyclopedia of the Celts.

9.19 "Crusade Part 1"
Part 1 of Season Nine's two-part cliffhanger. (Written, Directed, and Produced by Robert C. Cooper)
"Provided Damian completes Ethon in the next week, and provided things fall into place, he'll be writing the episode in which "that character" returns. By the way, "that character" and "the much loved, sorely missed character" (of Ripple Effect) are, well, two different characters. Throw a third one into the mix...ah, its too complicated so I won't even go there." — Joseph Mallozzi, Exec. Producer, Writer.
"And, for all of you asking out there, Robert Cooper is writing the script in which "that character" returns. Expect a big surprise - unless you've taken to reading some of the spoilers out there." — Joseph Mallozzi in his GateWorld Blog, August 12.
"Rob is working on Crusade, which will see the return of THAT CHARACTER with a major relevation (which I won't reveal at the moment so you'll just have to wait for the SciFi promo). Rob will not only be writing and producing, but directing the episode as well. I've already told him I expect nothing less than the greatest episode of Stargate SG-1 EVER! Anything less will be a disappointment. No pressure." — Joseph Mallozzi in his GateWorld Blog, August 23.

9.20 "Camelot Part 2"
Part 2 of Season Nine's two-part cliffhanger. (Written by Joseph Mallozzi and Paul Mullie)
"Also started beating out Camelot." — Joseph Mallozzi in his GateWorld Blog, August 23.
"Camelot is the name of the stronghold of the legendary King Arthur, from which he fought many of the battles that made up his life. Its specific location is currently unknown and may be a fictionalized Romano-British province of post-Roman Britain. It is described as many days' journey from Avalon. Various stories present Camelot's court in varying ways, anything from welcoming followers of both the Celtic and the Christian gods, to exclusively one or the other. Since the location of Camelot is still a mystery, the truth about it—if there is one—is still unknown." — WikiPedia, the free encyclopedia.
