“Earth” is being penned by Stargate Atlantis writer-producer Martin Gero, who has written such fan-favorite episodes as “Grace Under Pressure,” “McKay and Mrs. Miller,” and most of the season finales, premieres, and mid-season two-parters.
“This one involved a long, long discussion on the workings of a certain technology which forms the impetus to another terrific character-driven story,” Mallozzi said previously of the episode.
Mallozzi also said that Robert C. Cooper is almost finished writing the third episode of the series (#105), and that Universe will offer new locations for filming. Cooper and director Andy Mikita recently scouted for locations in the deserts of New Mexico.
“Of the first ten episodes broken, we have a grand total of zero forested planets,” Mallozzi said. “I’m not saying we won’t, eventually, come across one but, for the time being, the emphasis is on the ship and some locations atypical of Stargate.”
Stargate Universe begins filming in just four weeks, and the rest of the new show’s cast is expected to be announced soon. Learn more about the series and its characters in GateWorld’s exclusive Stargate Universe Launch Center!

Third episode: Fire
Fourth episode: Water
No forested planets? Cool.... Can't wait to see the rest of the cast!
WOW no forested planets...big whoop!
As long as it doesn't mean they found a way to return to Earth this early I'll be happy. Would kinda defeat the premise...
Lets see, 1st episode is Air, second is Earth. I think Merethe is right. Fire. Hell we already have a band called Earth, wind and fire. Lets just use them for the rest of the cast. But seriously it seems quite zen to me. I guess the 5th is going to be Spirit? Lets just focus on Ascension.
@ Merethe
very funny :D, but i don't think they are going with that, they're just working titles you know ;D
but i'm very exited about this news, lets all hope for a great third SG series:D
Stargate universe ftw :P
It makes sense there would be fewer (almost none) planets with forests in Universe.
In SG-1 the reason there were so many forested planets was because of the Ancients and the Goauld terraforming the planets
Goooo planet!
"impetus to another terrific character-driven story." Captain Planet? ;P
@Merethe
I thought the exact thing when I read 'Earth' as a title that would follow the premier 'Air.' I actually wouldn't mind having a format like that. Simple, but might have a deep meaning. Interesting. :P
