Episode Spoilers

Note: Latest updates are in color.

Lord Haikon (of the Sodan Jaffa from 9.08 "Babylon") is due to make a reappearance in the season two-parter, “The Fourth Horseman”.

Speaking of “The Fourth Horseman”, Mallozzi advised fans in his Q&A on May 22: “Check out the big mid-season two-parter, The Fourth Horseman, in which a certain someone from her [Samantha Carter] past drops in to lend a hand - with poignant consequences.” This sounds like Orlin might indeed return as originally thought. Mallozzi didn’t mention Sean Patrick Flanery, who originally played the role in “Ascension”, so it is possible that Orlin might return in another form, much like Oma Desala did for Daniel (such as in “Maternal Instinct” and “Meridian”). No word one way or the other has been confirmed, so this is mere speculation at this point.

[Edited to add: Mallozzi posted on his Q&A after this article was first released: “We know now that Sean Patrick Flannery will not be playing Orlin again in The Fourth Horseman I and II. Instead, the part will be played by the terrific Cameron Bright. How is this possible, you’re no doubt asking. Well, there’s a very good reason Orlin’s appearance has changed...”]

"As forces from Stargate Command, USAMRIID, the C.D.C., the W.H.O., and concerned governments try to head off a global pandemic, SG-1 race the clock in an effort to find a cure." — Joseph Mallozzi in his Q&A thread at GateWorld.

"Daniel and Mitchell will be heading off-world on a mission to retrieve a key element of a potential cure. Will someone be affected by the plague? The law of averages would suggest someone could very well be infected. Who? Well, you'll have to tune in to find out." — Joseph Mallozzi in his Q&A thread at GateWorld.

"Fourth Horseman offers yet another reunion of sorts [for Carter] while Carter teams with Dr. Lee in an attempt to help capture 'the missing piece of a puzzle.'" — Joseph Mallozzi in his Q&A thread at GateWorld. The "reunion of sorts" is that of Orlin and Carter.

When asked which episode of the first half of Season Nine showed the best of the character of Samantha Carter and of the acting talents of Amanda Tapping, Joseph Mallozzi stated this on his Q&A thread at Gateworld, "Amanda does a wonderful job in The Fourth Horseman as Sam struggles to help save the world under an incredible emotional strain."
