NEWS & SPOILERS
(Newest information is added to the bottom)
"Gave Carl notes on his revised beat sheet for 'Tracker.' My one big cover note: Change the guy's name. Clearly frustrated, Carl informed me he was open to suggestions. I consulted the list of ingredients listed on the packaged mixed nuts sitting on the coffee table, immediately coming up with the inspired 'Peanutia.'"
(Executive producer Joseph Mallozzi, in a post at his blog)
"Carl put out his first draft of 'Tracker' today. In a word: awesome! McKay and Ronon make a terrific team."
(Executive producer Joseph Mallozzi, in a post at his blog)
Ronon, McKay, and Dr. Keller visit a world where the Wraith have recently arrived. The reason soon becomes clear: they are pursuing a Runner, a warrior who has been tagged with a homing device so that the Wraith can hunt him for sport. Before joining the Atlantis team, Ronon himself was just such a prey ("Runner").
The Runner's name is Kiryk, and he captures Dr. Keller. Jennifer tries to reason with him as he marches her through the woods and away from the team. Kiryk is surprised to learn that she not only knows what a Runner is, but she also claims that Ronon used to be one -- but isn't any more.
Keller's absence is only one problem, though. With help from a man named Erran, Ronon and McKay evacuate a village to the nearby caves, to try and keep the people safe.
Soon Kiryk's purpose for kidnapping the doctor is revealed, as they arrive at his destination: he has a companion, a 10-year-old girl who is in desperate need of medical attention.
(GateWorld news report)
Guest characters include Kiryk, Erran, Celise (the injured girl), and a group of villagers.
NEW! May 28 - "We screened Will's director's cut this morning and, boy, this one is a lot of fun. McKay and Ronon team up, Keller kicks ass, and guest star Mike Dopud squares off with Jason in a particularly memorable throw-down."
(Executive producer Joseph Mallozzi, in a message at his blog)
Actor Mike Dopud has appeared twice before on Stargate SG-1: He played the Russian officer Colonel Chernovshev in Season Eight's "Full Alert," and the bounty hunter Odai Ventrell in Season Ten's "Bounty."
NEW! June 16 - New behind-the-scenes images from what appears to be the filming of "Tracker" and/or "The Queen" are now online at the L.A. Times Web site.
