Season Two plans!
Well, it's been a while since I've last posted something here, and I want to apologize to all the loyal people following this blog regularly. I keep saying I'll post something soon, but the truth is there's just been very much work lately. By very much work I'm only referring to work on Stargate: Horizon, by the way. That's also the reason for the podcast commentaries being a bit behind schedule, but I'm happy to say that the commentary for "Home Front" will be going online today with the new episode. Audio commentaries for the remaining Season One episodes will be following.
With Season One being almost completed, and the season finale airing in a week from today, I figured I might just talk a little about Season Two today. I figure it might be interesting... Now, first seasons of television shows are what you normally use for finding your footing; finding out what works, finding out what doesn't work. It's the season that shows you in which areas you need to improve, and in which areas you're on the right track. That's the way it works on television shows, and virtual television shows, otherwise known as online series, aren't any different.
So at the end of the first season the staff gets together, and looks back. I can say that I'm really happy and proud of the things we've done this past season. I think Horizon has managed to evolve into a series which is in many ways different from it's televised cousins, but at it's core it is still Stargate; it's what Stargate has always been about. I believe it's definitely managed to capture that typical humor that Stargate has always had. Suffice it to say that in Season Two the show should really start finding its footing, and it will.
Now, one thing that I realized when looking back at the season was that Horizon, the space station itself, while being a really huge station, doesn't really seem as huge as it actually is. By that I mean we only get to see small parts of the station; we see corridors, quarters, the control room, the reactor room, etc., but there are a lot of parts of the station which we have yet to see. I guess you know where this is going... yep, in Season Two we'll see some new areas of the station, and if we were shooting the episodes we'd be having some new sets for Season Two in addition to our standing sets. I guess if we were shooting the show, the sets would be under construction right now, and I could tell you about how great they are going to look once they're finished. Well, I'm going to tell you that they'll look great anyway. They look great the way they're being envisioned, and if we find the right people for it we might be having some graphics and images coming up for Season Two. We're already in the process of hiring additional writers, so we'll start looking out for people for the art department as well.
Now one could ask what kind of new sets are we going to be seeing? But could I answer that question without giving away spoilers? Hm, I'd have to say I could... but then again the season isn't even officially in production yet, so things might still change around. So all I can say is that this new section of the station which we'll see has always been there, but the crew just hasn't been using it so far. In the first few episodes of Season Two they'll actually be re-fitting those parts of the station. I'm afraid that's really all I can say right now. But I have a feeling you're going to like it; I'm definitely looking forward to having that location around for playing out scenes inside of it.
So what can we expect from Season Two? We'll be getting a much better idea of how HUGE Horizon actually is (in addition to that we can expect a whole lot of other great things of course). The best way to describe it would be that while in Season One the station really was just a remote science outpost (with one Stargate aboard and another one outside), it'll turn into a center of buzzing activity in Season Two (still with one Stargate aboard and another one outside). The station continues becoming a more and more important strategic post, and that will be underlined very strongly in the new season. Let's just say it will definitely be a fun development.
Now, some time ago I hinted toward the possibility that there might be a new character showing up at some point. All I can and want to say about that right now is, I think you're going to like what we have in stock for that, too. Is there going to be a new character joining the cast or not? I'll just leave that open for discussion for a while. And, please, feel free to discuss it... I'll just keep giving those subtle hints.
Well, that's it for now. I'll really try and make some more new entries over the next few weeks. I should be able to do that, now that Season One is pretty much completed. I'll be keeping you up to date on the latest developments.
I hope you'll enjoy tonight's episode.
