Production Notes

• "Brad then [pitched] out [his revised] notion for an [idea] he’s been [batting] around for a [while] now. A great [premise with] an [intriguing] mystery at [its] core, a wonderful [opportunity] for one of our characters, all wrapped up in an [ultimately touching] theme." — Joseph Mallozzi (March 16, 2009)
• "I eventually made my way back up to the offices and where I chatted with Brad about episodes 18, 19, and 20. He and Rob have some fantastic notions for the stretch run that promise to cap off SGU’s first season with a bang! And plenty of surprises." — Joseph Mallozzi (May 22, 2009)
• "Carl will move from Faith to that story Brad pitched out..." — Joseph Mallozzi (May 31, 2009)
• "Carl steps into the #18 slot with the story we just discussed today. This one looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun and Carl is looking forward to it." — Joseph Mallozzi (June 3, 2009)
• "Good luck to the gang at Comic Con today. I'll be at home, continuing to slog my way through episode 18." — Carl Binder, Twitter (July 24, 2009)
• "Carl is close on his, Episode #18. He was last sighted wading his way into Act V." — Joseph Mallozzi (July 29, 2009)
• "So, now I have two rough drafts. Tonight, I shift gears to reading two first drafts Lawren sent my way – Marty’s G.‘s Lost, and Carl’s latest oeuvre, Pain." — Joseph Mallozzi (August 4, 2009)
• "Was in the office today. Gave Carl notes on his first draft of Pain. Doesn’t look like he’ll need to do much in the way of a rewrite." — Joseph Mallozzi (August 6, 2009)
