Stargate Trivia: Scorched Earth (The Gadmeer)
After landing on SG-1 for its fourth season, one of the first requests that came my way was for a list of alien race names. Apparently, after the whole pel'tac-tel'tak debacle, Robert C. Cooper had had his naming privileges revoked so it fell on me to come up with some. I remember generating a list. One, the Genii, would be used years later on Atlantis. Another, the Gadmeer, were used in our Scorched Earth (note: the race was unnamed in the first draft).
Here is some concept art from the episode: Lotan's ship and, of course, a Gadmeer who never actually/sadly made an appearance. He was so adorably comical-looking that I nicknamed him Monty and imagined an entire scenario where he joined SG-1 as a fifth member of the team, always bringing up the rear or distracted by flavor profiles of the various alien surfaces and artifacts he would like. I also did a perfected a pretty good Monty imitation: "Grrrklllbrrrpplllgghaaaakyook!"
