Heliopolis and the Characters

So I thought I might pop on and tell you all about our pilot episode: Heliopolis. It shall be released as feature length script, and then later on, possibly as two seperate episodes. Well first off, the name of the episode, is for some reason, also the name of the base in which Legacy takes place at. Heliopolis is actually the city of Ra. The place where scholars, priests - The brains of ancient times would get together and share all their latest break throughs in the world of science. I must add that this Heliopolis has nothing to do with the one from The Torment of Tantalus since the castle shouldn't have called Heliopolis. The place had nothing to do with the Goa'uld. Heliopolis was actually ran by Thoth, who at the time of the facilities building, was an underlord to Ra.

I quite like the way all of the main characters are introduced. Wilks, our resident archeologist and team conscience is the first of the main characters introduced. We find him at the same location as the episode opens, a tomb in Egypt. One of our main characters is Hailey, someone we haven't seen since..Season5 of SG1. We haven't seen her in almost 3 years (Legacy takes place in Season8 of SG1), turns out she was involved in the Prometheus project all the time, that's where we find her. While we're onboard the Prometheus we are also introduced to our 3rd main character, a fella by the name of McKenzie. He's an F302 pilot, and a pretty good engineer at that.

Because I don't want to spoil too much, I'm just going to tell you about our next 2 characters, the final ones of SG5, our main team of the series. Lt. Colonel Hudson and Major Tooms. We meet them at the Alpha site, where they are in command of a one of the off-world teams over there. Hudson is a pretty interesting character, one who gets something down as she sees fit and as she wants. Toom is a more by the book fella.

Well, that's all I'm gonna tell ya for the moment. On a lighter side, we also have a couple of new writers. Kyle Weymark, who is writing 103, which has also had a title change from Labyrinths to Reverence. It has also had a few interesting story changes and is going to make quite a nice episode.

Well that's all for now. Keep tuned.
