Came across a nice little tidbit today in a writeup by a Scaper of the ComicCon Stargate panel.

Slightly spoilery, but it's about Claudia Black's guest spot: she will have a three-episode arc.

Which just makes me squeee. Apparently there was much joking on the Farscape panel about how Ben's jealous of Michael Shanks. Heh.

Ooooooh, that's really excellent.

Huh. Interesting. It's more common for Stargate to have the classic one-episode love interest, so... huh. I wonder how that fits with, er, the other general spoilers about Daniel's arc for this season that I won't be specific about.

Also, yay!

Oh, a funny bit from Joe Mallozzi's mini-behind-the-scenes thing for "Lockdown":

One particular moment that never failed to elicit giggles whenever we screened the episode comes when Carter visits Daniel in the infirmary. Daniel asks about Colonel Vaselov's condition. Carter pauses, then reaches back and draws the curtain separating Daniel's bed from that of the Russian lying right beside him, perhaps presuming it will magically render the ensuing conversation inaudible. As Carter fills Daniel in on the Vaselov's dire state, someone in the room would invariably pipe up in a bad Russian accent: "I can heeeaaar yooooou. I am lying right heeeeere!"

Katie, I have not heard about those general spoilers you refer to. This will be interesting.

I'm neither seeking out nor avoiding spoilers. Except I'm not watching the SciFi teasers for next week, since they're generally so very wrong, anyway.

Well, I've seen quotes from the producers saying that they're going to be spending some more time on Daniel's Ascension, and what he can and cannot do with the knowledge he has from that. So if he's got a three-episode arc with Hot Alien Chick too... I'm just wondering if the two arcs are going to be working together.

Okay, now that sounds really cool. Because it's the big lumbering elephant in his room, isn't it?

Which reminds me I want to go read Mnemophobia again. (What a brilliant title, btw...)

I just hope it's actually going to happen. None of the specific episode spoilers I've read have anything to do with that, and more than half the season's out at this point. (I haven't been reading as deeply into the spoilers as last year, though, so... *shrug*)

B-stories? I can deal with B-stories. Or little dollops of information. Not that Stargate tends to tell stories in the interstices, but it's possible.

Wheeee! (Re. Claudia Black on SG.)

SG-1 members are already so foamy. Add CB? I don't think my TV can stand so much hotness.

Does anyone know whethere it's been shot already? Or when it is supposed to air?

It's been shot already, I think; anyway I'm sure I've seen things talking about her talking about it, so. Or one has, anyway--I haven't seen spoilers come out about the other two episodes they're talking about. The first one is listed twelfth over on Gateworld, and it's my understanding that S8 is only going to be twenty episodes, so I'm guessing it won't air until after the Endless Hiatus (Though Not As Endless As That One Farscape Hiatus That Time).
