Mike has updated his Horizon blog:

"My next endeavor "Catch 22," will begin as soon as the final few story points are sorted out. I wrote the outline in a day but Joe suggested some changes that had to be made. This story never has been easy. With 2.09 involving mostly Grant, Christine, and Lenori, and 2.16 involving mostly Yusuf, Christine, and Tom, and 2.18 being mostly David, 2.21 will be a complete team episode, and I can't wait for it, to be honest."

The rest talks about the usual. Check it out.

The next Stargate: Destiny Episode, 106 "Lost, but not Forgotten", has unfortunantly been pushed back an extra week. So, to make up for the extra time us fans have to sit and wait, I managed to get a few words with its writer, Adrian Curtis.

You probably know Adrian as the writer of 104 "Behemoth", one of the most well-received SGD episodes to-date, scoring 5 out of 5 from our resident reviewer (read the review here). He is also one of the staff members here at SGU, and to top it all off, he is a Aussie, like me!

Valorin: How is your next SGD episode going?
Adrian: not bad, im well into act 3
Valorin: Cool, got any exclusives you can give me?
Adrian:

• We will get a first look at the higer members of the Malecathi leadership [in 106 "Lost, but not Forgotten"]
• "The Farm" [108] will introduce and old enemy in a very different way
• ["I Think, Therefore..."] 107 will present an old story in a new way and a look at some of sgd's first real aliens

Big thanks go to Adrian for filling us in and providing us with something to think about while we wait for "Lost, but not Forgotten" to be aired.

The Stargate Destiny website is back online. They come baring gifts of concept art and a Making Of feature:

"Want to see how the episodes of Destiny evolved? What happened between the time of conception and the time of finish, well here is a feature for you. We will be writing Making Of features for certain episodes throughout the season. These also include deleted scenes."

Also they have put their release dates back another week due to the problems with the website. Until then, check out their latest stuff over at the Stargate Destiny website.

Captain Pash has finally finished his latest review of Stargate Destiny. This one is of Behemoth, the popular episode by Adrian Curtis:

"The action in this episode was well written, and made me like it. I didn’t have a problem with beats this time around, there were some but they weren’t over used. The camera angle stuff was also only used when needed, and that makes me happy again. Though most of that stuff may seem like nit picking it really does effect if someone wants to read the episode or if they just get really bored."

Just to say we're not only limited to one reviewer. If you read the series' featured on this site and would like to review, then give us a ring (on the forum). Read the rest of the review.

Well Alex Rubit has done another one his infrequent updates to his blog. It contains the usual Horizon talk as well as more personal stuff:

"Lots of things have developed. About two weeks ago I was having a couple of days off from work, and so I went to do an elaborate writing marathon. I ended up writing "Night Terrors" in about four days, and now, brace yourselves, after I finished "Night Terrors" I started "The Adversary" at the same day. And I've set up my new personal record when I finished the first draft after two and a half days of non-stop writing. I was quite happy with how they had turned out, and after taking a couple of days before doing slight revisions, I had turned them in."

Head on over and check out the rest of it.

The Stargate Destiny Blog has recived a long awaited update:

"We (Geoff, Adrian and myself) are all hard at work on our next set of episodes. I am currently somewhere near the end of the 3rd act of "The Farm" which is currently slated for 1x08. It's another dark episode which I am really enjoying writing. Look for another Tenyris/Morgami moment. Adrian is working on "Lost But Not Forgotten". I haven't read much, but from what I read of the outline, it's gonna be an interesting episode."

The rest talks about the other episodes and various personal bits and bobs. Check it out.

The Czech guys have finished the translation of the 3rd episode of the Enoly Trilogy:

"Chase, Sivea, and Melanos come to realize that their best bet will be to listen to the Sentinels, and work with Sivok in order to retake Horizon.
With less than two hours until the full Enoly fleet passes the Spacegate into the MW-Galaxy, Grant, Tom, and Christine must fight to regain control over the station, which is boarded by Enoly troops."

You all know the drill by now. If your czech, check it out.

Stargate Universe is proud to announce it's latest feature, SGU Productions. Unlike Horizon or Destiny Productions, SGU Productions is for people who want to experience what it is like creating a virtual series, however without the long term commitment. We are going to be producing mini-series and virtual movies/episodes.

However, where this is a benefit to you guys is, you pitch the story, we help produce it, give it a section on the website. Not only does it offer people the chance to experience making an online series, but it is also the perfect opportunity for an uncommon story.

Feel free to start pitching stories to us, but take this opportunity to do something different. A mini-series from the POV of the Tok'ra, or etc. If you have any questions, feel free to ask us. If you have a pitch, e-mail us at productions@sg-universe.net

In the pitch, be sure to include information on how long the mini-series would be (eg. three feature length scripts), basic series synopsis, episode synopsis' and character information.

Good luck, hope to hear from you soon.

Mike and Vincent (no, not the dog from Lost, one of the new writers for Horizon) have started their own blogs. Both are pretty new. Mikes has one article, but interesting none the less:

"So, where should I start? Horizon, I suppose. Things certainly are developing smoothly with Horizon. After today's meeting, we have at least an idea for every single episode of the season, and an interesting one it shall be. We've got some freaky dreams, a ZPM, the Enoly, a "grace" episode, the Aschen, and the return of several new characters in the second half of the season. Horizon is always a bit dark, but I'll just say that things are going to go down the crapper for our dear team later on. Darker episodes include "Path of Revelation," "Night Terrors," "Amazing Grace," "Catch 22", and, of course, the mysterious season finale we have planned, and season finales are guarenteed a bit of darkness here and there, no?"

And Vincent's has 3 articles:

"To quote Mike Coakley : "You know the news, so why not post it?". OK, fine, Alex updates his blog once every never, so here goes. So far production is coming in well. We're cracking stories out of nowhere and getting them down into scripts a hell of a lot faster than last season. Every meeting we have tends to last absolutely ages. But hey, the work gets done and Alex has a smile on his emoticon."

Like with Alex's expect to see a report when these guys update their blogs. Mikes Blog and Vincents Blog.

The Czech Horizon team have released yet another translated episode, In Purgatorys Shadow. This episode is the second in the Enoly Trilogy, where we are introduced to the series' brand new enemies:

"While the Valiant returns to Horizon, and the team prepares the station for the upcoming Enoly attack, Sivea, Chase and Kardos face some of their darkest hours, as they realize for what reason they've been captured."

You know the drill, so our Czech visitors, head on over and download the latest translated episode.
