Watched the final mix of Adrift this morning. Simply put: Best Season Premiere Ever.

Marty G. pitched out a special guest star for Outcast, a character we haven’t seen since his debilitating injury in season one. Won’t the fans be surprised. Well, probably not as I’m sure you’ve figured it out.

I’m really looking forward to Harmony. I know Jodelle will be brilliant. She’s always brilliant.

Midway is looking big, Big, BIG! Oh, and BamBam has been working on that sparring scene for weeks.

Marty G. promises to have Trio (formerly Full Tilt) done for next week after which he’ll no doubt sleep for three straight days.

Watched Kindred II dailies from Terminal City. Dark, dank, disturbing.

Well, my inane correspondence has finally succeeded in raising the ire of one of my email scammers. My question: What took ’im so long? I received the following from one James Williams who has been trying to get me to cough up $480 for a good two months now:

“Attn:Cookie Monster,

how are you? i want you to know that this is my last word, i told you to make the delivery fee of your fund send via western nuion money transfer how many time have i told you that? make it send there and scan the payment slip for mew to view okay.”

Poor guy. Cookie Monster was quick to respond:

“Dear James Williams,

Hooboy! James Williams sound mad. Maybe trouble on home front wit little missus? James Williams have wife? From picture sent wit email, Cookie Monster guess no. James Williams look like free agent maja playa. Nice to see that even though so-so face and body like Pillsbury doughboy, James Williams not lacking confidence. Remind me of the Count (not true Count, really from Newark) who always trying to get laid. Opening line at bar = “I see ONE fine lady. TWO fine ladies. THREE fine ladies! But only ONE special enough to go home with me.” Bert and Ernie say he funny eccentric. Ladies tink he sad and creepy. But James Williams not sad and creepy. Well, not sad anyway. But give it time. You still young (ish).

So now Cookie Monster serious serious serious about payment. But problem. Cannot scan payment slip because Sesame Street scanner-printer confiscated when cops bust Snuffleupagus counterfeit ring. Maybe have this instead =

TO: JAMES WILLIAMS

WHAT: MONEY

HOW MUCH: $480 dollars.

FOR: Been so long me forget.

LOVE: Cookie Monster”

    Joseph Mallozzi writes: “I thought the parody of Martin Gero sitting in his office answering questions was hilarious (although he only wears a suit and tie on special occasions) and hope he is big enough to laugh off a little friendly needling.”

    Answer: Damn it – you’re right. I KNEW something was off about that Gero parody. Next time I should ask you for the insider info before shooting. Is he big enough? I guess we’ll see. He may not have told you this but we’re best friends on MySpace. Maybe he doesn’t know I’m his best friend but someday he’ll realize it. I sent him the links to the mockumentary there. We’ll see what happens. You might want to prepare yourself in case he comes crying to you, though, with hurt feelings.

    Joe, you said…

    Marty G. pitched out a special guest star for Outcast, a character we haven’t seen since his debilitating injury in season.

    Season what?? Season what?!?! 1? 2? 3?!

    Ok, it’s Bates, isn’t it? Awesome. Awesome to the max…yo.

    Thanks for the updates on the various Season 4 episodes Joe, much appreciated. I know I loved Siege 3 and No Man’s Land, so I can’t wait for Adrift!! Speaking of which, does “final mix” mean that it’s ready to air on TV?

    Oh, and Jodelle? Are you talking about Jodelle Ferland?

    And a 4th question (I’m so pushing my luck), same as yesterday’s; what made Ivon(?) put a blooper reel in the Season 4 DVDs and not in the previous 3, or in any of the SG1 DVDs? Oh, and as shown by the (?), I’m not sure if it’s actually his decision, obviously.

    Hiya Joe,

    Cookie monster sure seems to be enjoying his letter writing!

    I’m guessing that they mystery character may be sgt Bates… (you don’t have to confirm this as I’m happy to keep guessing).

    I’m looking forward to the season premiere too.

    Quick silly question which you don’t have to answer: Since you obviously get lots of fan gifts such as chocolate related stuff, do the other writers/producers like Carl, Damien and Marty G receive gifts too? Or Have they been left out of the chocolate revolution?

    Take care and keep posting those pics!

    Ta,

    Hey Joe! I’m a long time reader, but a first time poster. Really excited about SGA season 4, September seems so long away! Anyway, I have a question about Harmony. You mentioned that a person named Jodelle will be in Harmony, it this by any chance Jodelle Ferland who played the seven year-old Adria in SG1’s “Flesh and Blood”? A few of us are curious. Thanks!

    Is “Jodelle” the same Jodelle Ferland who was in “Flesh and Blood” and the movie “Silent Hill”?

    One last question! How could Sheppard fly Apaches, Blackhawks, Cobras, etc. if he’s in the Air Force? Those helicopters are usually flown by other military branches.

    3 questions (as I figure you’ll answer from this batch, not older comments)

    1) Every year, SciFi has done a special that airs before Stargate appears. Will we get one for season 4 of SGA, or has that allotment been used up with the Mythology of SG1 special shown back before season 10 SG1 aired?

    2) A question everybody wants the answer to (at least in the US). Scifi posted today: “The fourth season of Stargate Atlantis debuts on Sept. 28 and will air Fridays at 10 p.m. Atlantis will have a midseason finale on Dec. 7…”

    Any idea when the second half of the season will return? Thanks.

    and

    3) “Marty G. pitched out a special guest star for Outcast, a character we haven’t seen since his debilitating injury in season. Won’t the fans be surprised. Well, probably not as I’m sure you’ve figured it out. ” Could it be Col Everett from “The Siege”??

    Do we win a box of chocolates for guessing right? 😉

    With some of the info you have given out, it doesn’t sound like any chance the Travelers show back up after BASMR unless it will be in the season finale. So much for the “new, powerful race” a lot of articles from the Digital Press Tour talked about with them only being in two episodes. Too bad, because some of the clips from the promos and trailers made me really want to see more of this race. A lot more interesting race to me than rehashed SG-1 human-form replicators which you guys keep ramming down our throats!!! I hope this season is the end of the “Asurans.”

    We’ve been told by you several times about the ongoing arcs for Teyla and Weir. I’d like to know if the SGA guys will get the same love from the powers that be. I mean, will Ronon, McKay and Sheppard get their own arcs too or just one offs centered around their characters? Thanks for talking to us.

    Ah, your blog now reads ‘season one’ not just ‘season’ so I must change my choice of character with debilitating injury from Everett to Bates, as Bates got nailed right at the end of season one (even if he did have more than one injury)… 😉

    The special guest is Grodin, isn’t it? It should totally be Grodin. What? If being blown up in an ancient satellite by a blast from a wraith ship doesn’t count as a “debilitating injury”, then I don’t know what does. And hey, at least no one would see it coming if he came back.

    Has Chris lost weight? He looks thinner to me.

    I freaking love those letters. Especially the playa Count part.

    Hey Mr. Mallozzi,

    It’s been a while since I’ve left any comments for you, but I have been enjoying reading about your scam-mail experiences, which haven’t exactly been question-asking material.

    Nonetheless, today I’ve got a shorter question and a longer question, hopefully both of which you will be able to answer, although the longer one might take some thought, which I know generally is not a recipe for getting answers, as you’re a busy man.

    Simpler questions:
    The recent Comic Con trailer seemed to suggest a potential alliance with the Wraith, though obviously we can’t be sure until the episode in question airs. Without comment on the other circumstances that made casting changes necessary, (unless you really want to), do you feel there is there a certain irony to the expedition’s lead diplomat switching to a recurring role when the expedition reaches a crossroads where diplomatic skills are suddenly at a premium? Will that be addressed at all?

    More complex question:
    In the television series Lost, which you mentioned that you used to watch, Jack (Matthew Fox), was supposed to die in the pilot, which would have made the show very different. I’m always interested in hearing about the different paths that stories could have taken. Along that line of thought, if you knew that SG-1 would end with season ten and the movies, would you have done something different for season nine and ten? If so, what would that be?

    I’ll be away till Monday, as I’m in Minneapolis this weekend to write the GMAT, but I’d be really interested to hear what thoughts you have on the second question if you could get around to it at some point over the next few days.

    Sincerely,
    Copernicus

    I’ve noticed, as most Stargate fans have, all these rabid fans complaining about the changes and how they aren’t going to watch any more. But, I think that is more of a good thing than people have thought. Basically, my point is, that, it got people talking. I think that more people will watch the premiere than thought. I am saying, that I actually think that these controversial changes, might actually save Atlantis from looming cancellation. Don’t get me wrong, I am overjoyed at the upcoming fourth season, I think it will be phenomenal. I’m only saying that Atlantis had a strong first season, then it got into a groove and was forgotten. Yeah, sure it’s ratings were good enough to stay on the air, but not near good enough to stay for more than four seasons, and they were diminishing slowly. If things would have stayed the same in the third season, if Carson would’nt have died and Weir wouldn’t have been having issues, the ratings probably would have ended up going down to zero. I think the fourth season will be the best thing to happen to the Stargate franchise since old Jack O’Neill discovered the Ancient outpost in Antarctica some years ago.

    So Full Tilt was the original title? That just tickled my funny bone. When I was in high school, a bunch of my friends were in a band called Full Tilt. I just reconnected with one on myspace yesterday. Oh, and Martin Gero says I am the person he’d like to meet on myspace. I know he’s talking about me, because he says so on his page! See below:

    Martin Gero: Who I’d like to meet:
    You! Yes, you. I know most people will think: “He can’t mean me specifically”…but I do.”

    Guess what Joe? I just got an email from Miss Sandrine Clintin from Abidjan, Cote D’Ivoire. (My first ever one of these!)
    Her father died 3 years ago and left her $5,700,000 USD. (Her mother died when she was little). She’s 21 years old, a university graduate, and wants an honest, god fearing partner who lives overseas that she can transfer her late father’s funds to, and maybe live in her partner’s country for a while to escape the political crisis occurring in the Ivory Coast. She wants to invest her money in me because she’s “ignorant of business world.” (I’m 17 and apparently I’ll know more than she does…)
    She also adds: “Now permit me to ask these few questions:

    1. Can you honestly help me from your heart?
    2. Can i completely trust you?
    3. What percentage of the total amount in question will be good for you after the deposit is delivered to your care?”

    Any ideas as to what I should say back? I don’t have your flare for these things.

    I’ve been discussing Outcast with my online friends at it strikes me that quite a few Sheppard fans are feeling rather cynical about this episode, due in part to past disappointments with regard to the lack of backstory/character development for Sheppard.

    When you first talked about this episode there was a lot of excitement that we would finally be getting a good character episode for Sheppard but that enthusiasm seems to have disappeared.

    Can you offer any reassurance that we will not be left disappointed yet again?

    Will Sheppard be the focus of this episode? And if so will it give us any new insights into the character without resorting to clichés?

    Also, is there ANY episodes this year that have been dissapointing to you guys so far? I am psyched about everything I have read about the episodes, you and Paul are doing an excellent job as show runners it seems.

    “If you spent half as much time on scripts as you do eating out and taking the piss out of scammers, you wouldn’t have to worry about whether or not you’d be renewed for season five…”

    The above is unjustified and just plain nasty. Shame on you.

    Tank Goodness others thought the same thing I did and I am not crazy – that tank top looks horrendous on CJ. Please relay the following question: did he intend to buy a young girls shirt when he bought that thing or was he just hard up for clean clothes that morning? OOOh let’s hope he does not make that same wardrobe mistake again, poor man.

    this doens’t need to be approved, but since I’m guessing David Hewlett is in the same building as you, you might want to let him know his website is down (argh!) although in all likelihood he knows, but just in case….

    thx!

    I’m having a bad day, so in effort to not go on a snarky rampage i’ve been doing some research. Usually when this happens, I add 2+2 and get 5. 😉

    So, with that premise, I was thinking about the “Outcast” ep and on going back through your blog I saw this question from 6th August. Aren’t I good trying to keep out of trouble? 😀 Anyway, this is what you and my good friend anon said.

    “Anonymous #3 writes: “Any plans for an ice planet for our Atlantis expedition members this year? Or any other really different sort of planet environment?”

    “Answer: Hmmmmmmmmmmm…”

    So, I was wondering. By the Antarctic, there’s a couple of islands, called ‘Outcast’ and as it’s set on Earth, and with you Hmmmmming about an Ice planet. I added 2+2 and came up with 5, lol. Am I close, or freezing? 😉

    Oh and if it is Bates that turns up, can I squee a lil bit. I love that he’s coming back as he made a great antagonist.

    Thanks for the yummies, and I think CJ looks very cool in a gangster sort of way. That was a compliment btw. And what’s wrong with men wearing purple or pink for that matter? ;o)

    *hugs*

    Joe,
    Since the change of the start of season 4 until September from the previous season’s July premiere, do you miss the feedback from fans from the first few episodes of a season? In any previous seasons of SG-1 or Atlantis, has any of this fan feedback effected how any of the last few scripts of season are written?
    Thanks!

    I’ve been discussing Outcast with my online friends at it strikes me that quite a few Sheppard fans are feeling rather cynical about this episode, due in part to past disappointments with regard to the lack of backstory/character development for Sheppard.

    When you first talked about this episode there was a lot of excitement that we would finally be getting a good character episode for Sheppard but that enthusiasm seems to have disappeared.

    Can you offer any reassurance that we will not be left disappointed yet again?

    Will Sheppard be the focus of this episode? And if so will it give us any new insights into the character without resorting to clichés?

    I have to disagree here. Most of the Sheppard and even general fans I’ve seen posting online about Outcast are really excited about this episode, and are keen to know how it’s going to take shape. I’ve not seen much cynicism at all, just much speculation and exchange of ideas, and the hope that Outcast will be an excellent and enlightening episode, and a just one for such a compelling and mysterious character.

    Well, hold on there pilgrim! I think yer better get on yer horse and drink yer milk. Before y’all go talkin about us Shep fans, y’all don’t speak for us all. There’s a lot of fans I tell yer Pilgrim, who’re looking forward to see Sheppard and the backstory. Cliche? No way Ma’am/Sir, it aint gonna happen. We want it, and we’re looking forward to it.

    Yee Ha!

    Did you notice on Our Stargate forum that it took over 400 posts on one thread and the creation of another thread to tell us that they were NOT in hysterics over your remark?

    I hate to bring up the stew again but it’s fun watching them boil over. While they’re telling us they’re not.

    I did say I was having a bad day. That’s my excuse and i’m sticking to it. 😀

    Hey, I like CJ’s tank shirt! I don’t think it’s girly at all — it’s a G-Unit for crying out loud, in camo! CJ looks great and very slim.

    How did poor Marty G. end up so overworked now at the end of the season?

    Joe,

    If CJ wanted to look like a player,
    he should get rid of the Vercase shades and loose the shirt.

    My thoughts are Ray Bans, and a sleeveless (frayed) button denim shirt.

    43 days until s4 premiere. I can’t wait! I love all the spoilers and teasers I’ve heard so far.
    I love all the characters, but Shep is my top fave (I’m a huge Joe Flanigan fan) and I can’t wait to watch Outcast. From the little we know about it so far, it sounds great!
    Hope the character you’re talking about is Bates. I think he was a great antagonist, without being a jerk. We saw he was a nice guy in Letters from Pegasus (his personal message). I loved the interaction between him and John, and I’d love to see that again, even if it’s for one episode.
    If we get a season 5 (crossing my fingers!), is there any chance we might see Bates back as a recurring character, at least in a few episodes?

    Hi Joe:

    It’s my birthday today, and of all things, I had a dream about you last night. You came to my birthday party as one of my very special guests. So, since you were at my birthday party, any chance you could give me my request that I asked you when I offered you a slice of rich chocolate cake? You promised that Cliff Simon would be a regular on the next Stargate series.
    By the way, I gave you the biggest piece because you were such a nice person at my party.

    Because people were talking about his clothes with the antiquated attitude about what men should wear.

    Tisk, tisk Leah honey I know you think you got it all going on and your st** don’t stink. But sweetums it’s time to face the cold, hard facts of reality even if it’s a big scary place you don’t like to live in real often.

    Facts are this honey,Joe Mallozzi is one kicking ass successful screen writer and television producer and the only thing you got succeeding for you is turning yourself into one big joke in the world outside of the unreality world of the Our Stargate forum.
