I see alot of posters who hate Dr. LAm and are comparing the Jewel situation to this and I really think it's unfair. I too was leary about another Dr after Fraiser but I really like Dr Lam and truly miss her in season 10 and am looking forward to seeing her again. Also I gave her a chance and loved her, so I think we owe JS the same respect. At least I know I'll give her the same chance I gave Lexa.

I like Dr. Lam. I love the conflict between her and her dad, given time I think the conflict could have been a great one on the show, not enough time is given to develop it. Though I do think it is a mistake for them to have Dr. Lam wearing shirts showing cleavage which most likely would not be accepted in the real world.
Spoiler:I think Jewel is going into an even more difficult situation then Dr. Lam in that the tptb really underestimated Carson's popularity with the fans. Jewel would be a great character working along side Carson, not replacing him. I would love to see the conflict between sweet loving Carson and a genius superkid. And if Jewel would have been brought in before Carson situtation happens, fans might be more tolerant, though still very upset. I will give Jewel a chance because I enjoy SGA and I think she is a great actress but I can really truely understand why fans want and need to express their frustration and anger.sigpic

The only way fans really can show how they feel is to be vocal about it. Sci-fi fans seem to build a real loyality to their favorite characters.

Just to clarify a misconception made by the first poster, people can respect an actor and not like the character at the same time. Personally I haven't given Jewel's coming to SGA much thought, because I know, if given good material to work with, she'll be great.Equality is not a concept. It's not something we should be striving for. It's a necessity. Equality is like gravity. We need it to stand on this earth as men and women. And the misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who is confronted with it.

I like Dr. Lam. She seems like a competent replacement for Dr. Frasier (who I also miss, but I'm not going to let liking the old character spoil my enjoyment of their replacement).
And apparently Michael Shanks likes her.Mammals suck!

Sorry, but I think the role could have been cast better. I don't dislike her, as an actress, I just think a different actor or actress would have been a better choice as a replacement for Doc Frasier. Unfortunately, Janet is unreplaceable.
As for JS, I admire her as a actress, but again feel she is a poor choice for the newSpoiler:doc on Atlantis.On fighting:

I liked the relationship between Lam and Landrey- I think that was played really well from the start, and it's too bad that personal circumstances have kept Lexa from being on the show more often- it would have been nice to see more of that dynamic, however I very much look forward to her return. Though I must agree about her wearing too many shirts that show cleavage.

Agreed- Jewel is a great and very likable actress, I really look forward to seeing her on Atlantis, eventually.

I don't mind Lam. She hasn't really been in a lot of episodes yet. Frasier has seven seasons to develop. Lam has had one and a half, if that, for the character to do anything. So far, we already know more about Lam than we did about Fraiser after the same number of episodes.I'm not an actor. I just play one on TV.
