==Production Notes==
===Season Four Production and Direction===
*"We start prep for season 4 in the last week of February and begin shooting the first week of March." (Joseph Mallozzi in his blog)
*Filming of Season Four is scheduled from March 1 to September 28, with a break in July. "It looks like we’ll be off for a couple of weeks in early July, then taking a long weekend so that we can all head down to Comicon [July 25, 26-29]." (Joseph Mallozzi's blog, British Columbia Film Commission website) According to James Bamford, stunt coordinator, the production will be on a "shooting hiatus" from June 25 to July 15. (GW Q&A June 18)
*This season's writers are: Carl Binder, Robert C. Cooper, Martin Gero, Alan McCullough, Joseph Mallozzi, Paul Mullie. (Joseph Mallozzi's blog)
*This season's directors are: Robert C. Cooper, Andy Mikita, William Waring, Martin Wood. (Joseph Mallozzi's blog) Peter Woeste was added to the list to direct "The Kindred Part 1". (Mallozzi's July 12 blog)
*"There will be “light” moments in all of the episodes but, to be perfectly honest, the show’s fourth season will be darker than its predecessors." (Joseph Mallozzi in his April 4 blog)
===Characters/Actors===
*"All of our characters will get a spotlight episode in the front half of season four." (Joseph Mallozzi's blog)
*Amanda Tapping will be in the main cast credits and appear in 14 episodes. (Brad Wright MGM interview; Joseph Mallozzi's blog)
*Jewel Staite will be appearing in 8 episodes as Dr. Jennifer Keller. (Chicago Tribune interview with Joseph Mallozzi; Keller's first name revealed in Mallozzi's March 28 blog entry)
*Torri Higginson will be in four episodes (as of April 10) in Season Four, portraying Dr. Elizabeth Weir as a recurring character rather than as a regular. These four episodes will be in the front half of the season, but there is the possibility for more episodes in the second half. (Brad Wright MGM interview; Joseph Mallozzi Chicago Tribune interview; Joseph Mallozzi's blog)
* Col. Samantha Carter will be the new leader of Atlantis. (SCI FI MAGAZINE June issue; link in Solutions Spoiler Blog)
* Dr. Carson Beckett (played by Paul McGillion) will return in the back half of Season Four for a two-parter. At the end of Season Four, "...that door will be left open" for Carson to be alive and possibly have more appearances in Season Five. (Save Carson Beckett Campaign Site, April 9, 2007; Joseph Mallozzi's April 12 blog)
* "Since Rachel [Luttrell] will be pregnant throughout the shooting of season four, the Teyla character will also be pregnant through most of the season." (Joseph Mallozzi's August 2 blog)
* "Alas, in response to many who have been asking, Daniel Jackson will not be making an appearance in season four (although Michael was on the lot today to do an interview for one of Ivon Bartok‘s upcoming DVD Special Features). But, if we get a fifth season pick-up, it’s definitely something we definitely aim to pursue." (Joseph Mallozzi's August 8 blog)

:Production Notes: "We also took the time to discuss [...] Paul’s very cool idea for the season (?) finale, a little episode we’re calling…“Finale“. The last two episodes of the season "will not be a two-parter." (Joseph Mallozzi's June 6 blog) "Today, we gave Alan notes on his outline, discussed Midway, and had a very brief discussion of Martin’s next episode which we should start breaking tomorrow. That will leave three scripts to be written when we get back: the Joe F. story, Paul’s season finale idea, and the empty slot." (Joseph Mallozzi' June 18 blog) "Finally, we will get around to breaking that Sheppard on Earth story next week along with what we hope will be the season finale." (Joseph Mallozzi's August 2 blog) "Harmony is not the season finale. The season finale has yet to be broken. Also, the production order of the episodes does not reflect their air order." (Joseph Mallozzi's August 5 blog) "Despite the distractions, we (hopefully) have our final episode slotted. No title yet but, like most season finales, this one will be big - but very, very different." (Joseph Mallozzi's August 8 blog) "We are not thinking past '''season four which will end on a cliffhanger'''. We have a general idea of where we want this major arc to go and hopefully will have a chance to develop it with a fifth season pick-up." (Joseph Mallozzi's August 10 blog) The season finale is linked in some way to "The Kindred". (Joseph Mallozzi's August 14 blog)
