In the interview, he talked about his latest efforts in some of these &#8220;universes&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>For <em>Stargate<\/em>, Swallow revealed the plots for his upcoming season one dramas. &#8220;<em>Shell Game <\/em>is set in season ten of <em>Stargate SG-1<\/em>; it&#8217;s a Vala Mal Doran story, featuring Daniel Jackson. The plot involves Vala&#8217;s past coming back to bite her in the backside, when a crime she once committed is revealed to have a very serious consequence.<\/p>\n<div id=\"image-left\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/stargate-sg1-solutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/zelenka01.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. Radek Zelenka\" width=\"220\" align=\"left\" \/><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;<em>Zero Point<\/em> is set during season four of <em>Stargate Atlantis<\/em>; it&#8217;s a Radek Zelenka story, featuring a new character in the supporting role.
