    New Commander for Season 5

    Well JM has confirmed that Carter will be a guest star and there will be a new base commander:

    Still, Carter will be one of a number of familiar faces that will be popping up in the Pegasus Galaxy in season 5 - including a new commander. Remember way back, when I said we had considered a handful of possible candidates for the command position at the beginning of season 4? Well this person made that short list then, and we’re VERY excited about his/her/its(?) addition to our cast of regulars. As for who it is and what other little surprises we have in store…head on over to the SciFi site Monday morning and start refreshing.
    Any ideas????

    Blimey. Well, I'm still surprised it's not Carter but I guess that's with AT's commitment elsewhere.

    I think it'll be Ellis, he's had a couple of scenes in 4 that make me think they were setting up potential conflict, like his attitude towards McKay, or on the other hand his friendlyness with Sheppard.

        Sounds like it will be an existing character, and not a new character which is what I was hoping for if Carter wasn't going to stay.

        I hope that it's not:

        1) Sheppard
        2) Landry
        3) Caldwell

        Please please please let it not be any of those three. I don't think I'd like Ellis either, really. I don't know him well enough though.

        With Carter and Weir both out of the running, I honestly can't think of a single existing character in the Stargate universe that I'd want running Atlantis.


        No wait, there is one, but it'll never happen. General Hammond.

                Hmm...it'd be neat if it were a woman.

                You know, it'd also be really neat if this new leader was extremely antagonistic to the team. They'd still have to save the galaxy...but they have a pain in the mik'ta for a CO. That'd make for some great drama and humor even.

                  At one point I would have bet on him, I remember reading that Caldwell was written to be the kind of tension and confrontation that the network wanted between Wier and John originally, but he's hardly been in it lately so I doubt it now.

                    Man, I'd love it if it were Caldwell.

                      I kind of hope it's either Caldwell or Ellis, they already have established relationships and tensions with the Atlantis crew that can be expanded on and I bet there would be fireworks aplenty.

                        I don't really want it to be him. I know a lot of people are hoping for that, and I'm sorry to be the voice of negativity, but I've never been as fond of Caldwell as a lot of people are. I like him just fine as a recurring character, seeing him two/three times a year. I don't want to see him more than that.

                        Landry - I'm sorry. I can't stand Landry for the most part. He had a few good moments on SG-1, but mostly, no. *shudders*

                        Sheppard - as much as I liked having Shep as military commander when Weir was leading, I don't want him as the top boss. I like Shep in the field, in the middle of the action, not tied to the base.

                          Well I think he's at his best flying around blowing bad guys up, I know I'd rather be doing that then running a city

                            Hammond would be awesome.

                            I'll bet dollars to donuts that it's Woolsey, which might also be a great addition. They'd have to write him as a little tougher than his over-reactions in "The Seer," though.
