Interestingly enough, “Ish Kabibble” is listed as a cast member, perhaps because the actual cast members for the new season have not yet been officially announced (note that Joe Flanigan’s and Jason Momoa’s names appear in the list, but are misspelled). Fans corresponding directly with executive producer and co-showrunner Joseph Mallozzi in his personal blog<\/a> have been told that an official announcement is to be issued by the SCI FI Channel, rather than from him directly.<\/p>\n

Joe Flanigan<\/a> stated at his Burbank Creation Con appearance that he had signed up for Season Five, and Mallozzi has discussed continuity issues concerning Jason Momoa<\/a>‘s hair after Momoa had a major haircut. Mallozzi also confirmed that Rachel Luttrell<\/a> will be returning for Season Five, and Jewel Staite<\/a> has mentioned returning to the sets in her personal blog, but hasn’t revealed for which or for how many episodes. And as for how Flanigan and David Hewlett<\/a> will appear after seeing that they both were sporting beards for the People’s Choice Awards acceptance video, Mallozzi said, “The boys will be beardless for the start of the new season.”<\/p>\n

This leaves the status of Paul McGillion<\/a> (Dr. Carson Beckett), Torri Higginson<\/a> (Elizabeth Weir), and Amanda Tapping<\/a> (Col. Samantha Carter) still in question. Mallozzi has reassured the Save Carson Beckett campaigners<\/a> that the “door will be left open” for Beckett’s return in Season Five. Additionally, the new Weir-Replicator story arc that was started in Martin Gero’s “Be All My Sins Remember’d” leaves Elizabeth Weir fans wondering if Torri Higginson will be returning to reprise her role. Gero reassured them, “Weir’s storyline will be revisited in season 5.” And as for Carter, Mallozzi has expressed his desire to see Amanda Tapping return for Season Five. It should be noted, however, concerning contract negotiations and writing the new episodes, Mallozzi said, “It’s very rare we’ll write a script without having an actor commit beforehand.”<\/p>\n
