Production Notes
- "... I was called into the writer’s room to help spin a new story on another freelance script, this one a wonderful exploration of the Rush character. By lunch, we had the story broken ..." — Joseph Mallozzi (March 24, 2009)
- "Today, we set aside an hour to talk stories – specifically, the back half of SGU’s first season. Okay, okay. I think that, this time, I’ve got it right. ... #14 is the Rush-centered freelance script that Rob will eventually jump on (as he’ll be assuming directing duties on this one)." — Joseph Mallozzi (June 3, 2009)
- "When I left him ([Martin Gero]), he was in his office ... sprawled out on his couch, catching up on his script-reading (Space, Divided, and Lucid)." — Joseph Mallozzi (June 18, 2009)
- "Rob, meanwhile, put out his pass on Lucid (he’s renamed it Human and the change is a point of some debate) and it’s a terrific script – engaging, poignant, and, yes, mighty surprising. Rob will be assuming directing duties on the episode." — Joseph Mallozzi (July 22, 2009)
- "Rob is prepping Lucid, Episode #14, which he’ll be directing." — Joseph Mallozzi (July 29, 2009)
- "Next week is also when Rob Cooper starts directing Human (formerly Lucid – I know, I can’t let it go)." — Joseph Mallozzi (August 6, 2009)
- "While I’m waiting, I’ll shift focus to other producerly pursuits – like watching Rob Cooper’s dailies on Human..." — Joseph Mallozzi (August 12, 2009)
- "Back on 'Human' tomorrow. ... Sabatoge will be fun!" — Patrick Gilmore, Twitter (August 12, 2009)
- "Rob dropped my office after lunch while the production was making the move from the location to mess set ... And, since he was there, I told him how much we’d enjoyed the previous day’s dailies. The film looks amazing. For his part, Rob had nothing but praise for the actors and, given their significant roles in this episode, Robert Carlyle and guest star Michael Shanks in particular." — Joseph Mallozzi (August 13, 2009)
- A fan took several pictures and a video of Robert Carlyle and Michael Shanks filming some scenes at the University of British Columbia. See Further Reading for links. (August 19, 2009)
- "I’m predicting Time and Space to be the big fan favorites. Water, Light and Human will be high up there too. Action packed, fast-paced, surprising, full of some crazy twists. I also predict a few kino scenes will be played over and over again." — Brian J. Smith, Mallozzi's Weblog (September 28, 2009)
- "It's hard for me to explain myself without giving away the entire context. But basically the way to put it in...it's kind of a flashback. But it's also the fact that the flashback is slightly different. Basically I play a figment of Robert Carlyle's imagination. And that's the only way I can put it without giving away too much. There's a few other characters in there that are also part of the same through-line. And that's where I was wondering. I read it and I went "I don't know where this is going!" My character kind of pops in and pops out and I'm not really understanding why. I'm like everybody else and going "OK, I'll have to wait and see." — Michael Shanks in Gateworld interview (November 2009)
- "I made a cameo in the pilot and they’re keeping me alive to pass the torch. The next one coming up is titled Human, and back-references my character first initiating Dr. Rush (Robert Carlyle) into the Stargate program, but my character exists more as a figment of Dr. Rush’s imagination." — Michael Shanks, TV Guide Magazine interview (November 16, 2009)
- "While Rush has been front and center to date, many of you are hankering for a peek at Rush’s motivations, his backstory, what potentially dark events from his past shaped him. Well, fans of the character won’t have to wait long for some answers. Human, episode 14, will explore the Rush character and, if not answer many of these questions, then at least offer some major hints to a troubled past." — Joseph Mallozzi (January 27, 2010)
