PRODUCTION "'Inauguration' will see the return of an old enemy and set up the big, BIG two-part season finale." (Co-executive producer Joseph Mallozzi, in a chat at AXN) "There will be an episode that will make use of clips from past shows. Paul [Mullie] and I were called into Rob [Cooper]'s office after the concept meeting for the big season finale, 'The Lost City' I and II, and informed we would be writing a clip show. To be brutally honest, I was 'less than pleased.' "But in discussing with Rob, we decided that we would take a different tact -- and came up with a great story. While the body of most clip shows are 50 percent clips, we set out to write a script that could stand alone and be complimented by maybe 15 to 20 percent clips (if that). I think it will be a terrific episode and it will boast an all-star cast including: William Devane, Robert Picardo, Ronny Cox, and James McDaniel." (Joseph Mallozzi, in a post at Our Stargate)
