Prometheus Unbound, Full Alert, Reckoning I and II, Threads, and Moebius I and II promise some major developments for both characters (and, incidentally, allow Michael to flex his comedic muscles more than a couple of times). DJ and Teal&#8217;c will have their hands full in the second half of season eight, and that\u2019s a trend that will continue through season nine (and hopefully beyond) as the developments\/revelations from the aforementioned episodes will see them front and center as we kick off a new year of SG-1.  &#8230;We\u2019ve got big plans for the boys.&#8221; <em>\u2013- Co-Executive Producer and Writer Joseph Mallozzi<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Daniel and Vala<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[Next season] Claudia [Black] is going to appear in a five-episode arc in the role of Vala. She\u2019s great. You\u2019ll get to see just why we wanted to bring her back in \u201cPrometheus Unbound,\u201d which has yet to air.&#8221;  <em>\u2013- Stargate: Atlantis showrunner Executive Producer and Writer Brad Wright<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s [a] human from another planet. And she\u2019s a bit of &#8230; an enigma. You\u2019re not quite sure what her true story is in the episode \u2018Prometheus Unbound.\u2019 She\u2019s a bit of a rogue who tells a long story about her planet and her people and her past, and then in the end you\u2019re not really quite sure whether it\u2019s true or not. So she\u2019s a bit of a wild card. She\u2019s a very &#8230; sexy character, who isn\u2019t afraid to take whatever &#8230; she wants in any given situation.  And we had a lot of fun writing the role, and I know she had a lot of fun playing it, and we\u2019re going to try very hard to maintain the integrity of that character and still have her sort of join up with the team, but still sort of keep the essence of that wonderful friction that went on between her and Daniel, and I\u2019m sure it\u2019ll continue to sort of play out with the rest of the characters as well.\u201d  <em>\u2013- Stargate SG-1&#8217;s showrunner Executive Producer and Writer Robert Cooper.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Lt. Colonel &#8220;M.M&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBen is playing a military guy, a lieutenant colonel.  And I can\u2019t tell you his name yet. It hasn\u2019t been legally cleared yet, so it could still change.\u201d   Browder\u2019s character, who joins the show in the upcoming ninth season, has a past history with the Stargate program, Cooper said. \u201cThe audience just hasn\u2019t met him yet,\u201d he said. \u201cHe\u2019s actually played a key role in some major events that went on &#8230; in the Stargate universe and was in fact very instrumental in helping SG-1 succeed in one of their more important missions. And as a result of that, he was given &#8230; his choice posting. And he ultimately chooses to join SG-1. So when he first appears on the show, SG-1 will already know who he is. And we\u2019ll see some of those scenes and how he was basically woven into the tapestry of the show through flashbacks.\u201d <em>\u2013- Stargate SG-1&#8217;s showrunner Executive Producer and Writer Robert Cooper.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Q: If Ben\u2019s character has already been somewhat defined \u2013 will his character be a member of the military? A Stargate SG-1 team member? An alien? Can you talk at all about what kind of man Ben will be playing?<br \/>\nA: Rob will tell you this, but yes, he\u2019s a military man. Specifically, he\u2019s the F-302 pilot (our Earth-designed space fighter) that led the squadron that fought Anubis in Antarctica. He was badly injured when his fighter crashed, nearly killed but was promised a place on SG-1 if he made it back to fighting form.  I\u2019m not concerned with Crichton comparisons that may arise. SG-1 is a unit of the U.S. Air Force and so he should be an officer, but it\u2019s a very different show.  <em>\u2013- Stargate: Atlantis showrunner Executive Producer and Writer Brad Wright<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Browder hopes his new, higher-profile series will help the cause of another Farscape project. \u201cIt\u2019s not only a good career move for me, but it could be good for the whole Farscape cast.\u201d  <em>&#8212; Ben Browder<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Jack O&#8217;Neill<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Q: Is Richard Dean Anderson coming back at all for Season 9? There was some talk of 4 appearances for Season 9, but has anything been confirmed? If he does not come back for Season 9, what happens to him at the end of Season 8?<br \/>\nA: O&#8217;Neill will continue to be a part of the SG-1 universe. Whether we actually SEE him is up to Rick, but the character will continue to exist on or off screen. He may appear in one or two or more episodes. But let me add this: I handed over the reins of the SG-1 to Robert in season seven because I needed a rest and wanted to spend more time with my family. That\u2019s all Rick wants to do, and I don\u2019t blame him. I came back. The door is open for Rick to do the same. <em>\u2013- Stargate: Atlantis showrunner Executive Producer and Writer Brad Wright<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The character of Brig. Gen. Jack O&#8217;Neill will remain a part of the show in the upcoming ninth season, whether or not Richard Dean Anderson returns as a regular cast member.  \u201cHis character is going to remain very much alive in the Stargate [SG-1] universe. He &#8230; is going to be integral in commanding what goes on at the SGC. As to the appearance of Richard Dean Anderson in the series, that\u2019s really still undetermined. We are very hopeful that Rick is going to agree to participate in a number of episodes, but I have no idea as to how many or when that will be resolved.\u201d  <em>-\u2013 Stargate SG-1&#8217;s showrunner Executive Producer and Writer Robert Cooper.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My decision to leave the show is purely a personal one, based first and foremost on my desire to spend as much time as possible with my 6-year-old daughter in Los Angeles.&#8221; <em>\u2013- Richard Dean Anderson<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Samantha Carter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are having to &#8230; deal with a brief absence of Carter, [played by] Amanda Tapping, who\u2019s pregnant.  And we had already discussed a storyline that involved the return of Vala, &#8230; the character played by Claudia. And so we thought it worked perfectly to have that sort of miniarc play out maybe while Amanda was less available to us.\u201d <em>-\u2013 Stargate SG-1&#8217;s showrunner Executive Producer and Writer Robert Cooper<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know there are also a lot of questions about season nine of Stargate. I will be returning. I am slated to do 15 of the 20 episodes. I will return to the show in May. I will bringing the baby with me, (not through the gate of course..heehee) and we\u2019ll see how it works out. I know I am not the first actress to do this and I sincerely hope I am up to the challenge. I am very excited! It\u2019s going to be o\u00acne heck of a year.&#8221; <em>\u2013- Amanda Tapping<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Season 9 in general<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Cooper said the ninth season would introduce new villains and take the show in a new direction. \u201cWhile we say new direction, &#8230; the concept of the series is very much pulled from the mythology of SG-1, and I think fans are going to be very excited about the direction we\u2019re going. &#8230; One of the things we\u2019re going to be exploring in season nine is the origin of the Ancients and the Gatebuilders. And it\u2019s something I know fans have been sort of very curious about, and have sort of asked to see. And that is &#8230; one of the things we\u2019re really going to be delving into: &#8230; Who the Ancients really are, and where they came from, and we may even get a chance to go there.\u201d <em>\u2013- Stargate SG-1&#8217;s showrunner Executive Producer and Writer Robert Cooper.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Season 9 will have a new beginning with a new enemy. I think once you\u2019ve seen the end of Season 8 you\u2019ll understand why we\u2019re doing that.  <em>\u2013- Stargate: Atlantis showrunner Executive Producer and Writer Brad Wright<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A Solutions source has revealed that Emmy and Golden Globe winner Beau Bridges has been cast as Stargate Command\u2019s new general.
