See? Riley has fans.
Answer: Oh, well well aware of the fact. Its nice to see theres support for not only the main cast, but our wonderfully talented supporting players as well.

Pretty interesting. Whats your take on it?
Answer: Some I agree with; some I dont; some were already working on in season 2. Were definitely fleshing out the main characters (and those side characters as well) in the shows second season and, with that, demonstrating that these people are far from perfect. And, as Brad already alluded to in a recent interview, we will be taking advantage of the gritty realism to go to some pretty dark places in the coming season. Therell be plenty of crazy to go around in SGUs second year and, yes, many of those questions will be answered or, at the very least, explanations will be hinted at as we use them to build some bigger arcs. Well be doing more exploring and more adventuring, both on and off Destiny. I dont agree that we need to kill off the cook or this guy to raise the stakes or convey a sense of loss. Anyone remember Senator Armstrong or Sgt. Spencer or Franklin? More exploration? Check. More monsters? Oh, yeah. Check. More of that back half of season one humor. Also check. Lose the music montages. Nyet. Meredith may not like them, but I love em. They offer a nice, succinct way of wrapping up the episodes various storylines and furthering ongoing character arcs.
Zoomeister also writes: Will you have an alien join the cast (and no, I dont mean a Jaffa, Tokra or Lucien Alliance member)?
Answer: Great idea. All well need is an extra 3 million dollars an episode and we can work one of those blue aliens into the show as a recurring crew member, maybe the new cook.
PG15 writes: Im glad to hear that Brad is having talks with MGM about Revolution. Thats a good start. I wonder what the impetus for these talks were (unless theyve been happening since the beginning), and why thats not happening with Extinction?
Answer: As I mentioned previously, Brad is co-writing and Exec. Producing Revolution, not Extinction.
E writes: Can we expect some AU SGU stories to come? Im dying to see what would have become of the character had they not gotten stranded on the Destiny.
Answer: Hmmm. Wouldnt that be interesting

1. I believe SG-1 Movie will be produced soon. Hope, Hope, Hope! You guys had a lot of time now. Did you have improved some things from time to time or is the script untouched for long time?
2. Assuming the next stargate movie works fine and MGM wants more stuff. Do you think, it is possible, that we will see an entirely Stand-Alone-Movie with new characters and new stories? A new series is often a risk. But making a movie with a completed story would maybe safe money (new characters) and gives the chance to reinvent the Franchise. I want to see more about Stargate. Why no movie with from the perspective of the Jaffa, Tokra, any other people. A complete detached story. I thought long about it. Thats the kind of way, I would go. Hope, sometime we will see such a movie.
3. Does the SGC still exist or is the Stargate being moved to Homeworld Command?
4. If it has been moved
.has this to do with Atlantis staying on Earth?
5. The moon base, which Sam speaks about in Continuum
Are we going to see it in the next movie? Has the Earth Gate beeing moved to the moon?
Answers: 1. Paul and I havent revisited the script since submitting it some time ago.
2. No. When we move ahead with the movies, the first one up will be Revolution, featuring SG-1.
3. More on that in Stargate: Revolution.
4. Not necessarily.
5. Stay tuned.
Daniel writes: 1) Will we learn more about the Lucien Alliance in future episodes? Im curious to know if its only this group led by Kiva that is pursuing Destiny or if its an obsession for the whole Alliance?
2) In the Writers room have you pinned down what Destiny can and cant do, in order too stop each Writer adding something new every script to solve a plot point until there is nothing it cant do.
3) Given the tight running time every episode has too keep too, and the shows aim to treat the audience with more respect was there any talk of dropping the previously segments? Or is it something the network simply wont let you drop?
Answers: Hey, Daniel, thanks for the insightful comments. And welcome to the blog.
1) We will definitely be learning more about the Lucian Alliance in season two.
2) We are all on the same page with regard to what the ship can and cant do. In fact, all the writers are present when a story is broken, ensuring a consistency in series logic.
3) Given the somewhat serialized nature of the show, I think its a good idea dedicated a little time to catching potential first-time viewers up on what has come before.
Ponytail writes: Would you ever consider doing a sort of live Q&A with someone on your blog. Lets say one evening you let us ask this person questions (in your comments section) and they answer them right away (in your comments section). You could have rules like, only one question per person per 1/2 hour or something like that, and every 10 minutes or so, you post everything so far. That sounds like fun to me! Can we, can we!
Answer: Its possible but unlikely. The whole point of doing the Q&As the way I do (gathering the questions, sending them off, then giving the guest how ever much time they need to get back to me) is to ensure the process is a painless as possible for those taking part.
dasNdanger writes: If you get a lot of good feedback from your story, do you think you might try to tackle a novel?
Answer: Ive been kicking around an idea for a novel. Its just a matter of finding the time to sit down and write it.
SG-UNIVERSE writes: Can we see a SGU trailer 2.0 in Comic Con 2010 ?
Answer: You will.
PG15 also writes: 1. Are all the Season 2 episode slots filled at this point?
2. In your opinion, would you say Season 2 is more serialized than season 1, or less serialized?
Answers: 201: Intervention, 202: Aftermath, 203: Awakening, 204: Pathogen, 205: Cloverdale, 206: Trial and Error, 207: The Greater Good, 208: Malice, 209: Visitation, 210: Resurgence, 211: Deliverance, 212: Twin Destinies, 213: Alliances, 214: Hope, 215: Seizure, 216: The Hunt, 217: (Robs script), 218: (Carls script), 219: Blockade, 220: Gauntlet. Yep. All we need are a couple of titles.
2. Id say its about the same as season 1 although there will be a much bigger build in some of the individual story arcs, particularly in the front half.
