Production Report on upcoming Season One episodes:
Currently we're in the final stages of Season One. We will start airing the final six episodes of the season tomorrow night, and everything looks pretty well; we're on schedule, and we should be able to keep the release dates as they were announced.
What can you expect from the upcoming episodes? Well, let me say there is a brought variety of different types of episodes coming up, and at the same time they're all connected to the overall seven episode arc which will wrap up the season. With tomorrow's "In Purgatory's Shadow" we'll be continuing the events which were started in "The Enoly". We'll be learning a bit more about the Enoly, and the intentions of this mysterious species. "Counterpoint" will be the big climax of the three-parter, and I think if you liked part one, you're definitely going to like parts two and three.
An episode I've been talking about a couple of weeks ago is "Home Front". As I mentioned that episode will be exploring some completely new territories; we'll be seeing what consequences the new and public International Stargate Command is causing on Earth. And we'll also be bringing back the Vorian extremists; those terrorists, or religious fanatics if you will, that were first mentioned in "Rise of the Aschen". And guess what, their group will actually have a name. Yep, they have a really interesting name, which I can't reveal to you at this point... well, I could... but that wouldn't be right... so I won't.
As we approach the final four episodes of the season, we'll be dealing with some very interesting new story points which will lead to a pretty big finale. I won't be giving away any story points here, but suffice it to say that the season finale is going to have some really huge consequences for the Stargate: Horizon universe.
Currently we have episodes 1.18 and 1.19 already written; they're pretty much ready to go out (how nice to have some episodes ready a bit earlier for a change); Joe Hodkiss is writing episode 1.20 "Absolution" right now, and it should be ready on time. The timing will be close on that one, but cutting it close is something we've been doing a lot this season. I've already written 1.21 which is currently being called "Secrets and Lies"; we originally called it "Inquisition", but I realized that just wasn't fitting the story and the tone of the episode. It developed a bit in different directions throughout the writing process, so I ended up changing it. Right now I'm in the middle of working out the story for the season finale; the title of that episode I won't be giving away just yet, but it will be one that really sums up what that episode will be all about. The story is all worked out, so what I'm actually doing right now is writing the outline for the script, and I'll be starting work on the actual script next week. A lot of story lines and threads we've been following over the season will be coming together in this episode.
So, with having a bit more time in the schedule, I've been able to direct some of my attention on recording podcast commentaries for our episodes; I just recorded the one for tomorrow's episode earlier today, or actually yesterday, because now it's seven minutes past midnight, and it's actually Thursday (at least in my corner of the universe it is). Yeah, that's how inspired I was by the fact that you can find commentaries like that on the Sci-Fi website (Battlestar Galactica and Stargate: Atlantis), so now I'm doing my own little series of commentaries. What an unusual and intriguing thing to do; you know, it's a nice way of practicing for when I'll be doing some first DVD commentaries, which I'm planning in at some point in the near future.
