I'm still in shock... was convinced it would be Caldwell oh well.
As for Woosley as leader how long till he has a heart attack from having to make calls like the one in the SeerA word of advice... there are creatures that live between this dimension and the next, fiendish creatures that feast on the suffering of an entire world to satiate their eternal hunger. Support the Gateworld Cantina or suffer the fate of all who fall into the clutches of the 'Eladrith Ynneas'

I can take alot of the crap the writers give us with Atlantis but Woosley as Atlantis Commander ? If the character does not get a major re change this might be the one thing to get me to stop watching & it wont be hard to stop watching since Atlantis it is the only thing I watch on Sci-Fi. Stupid stupid move & I would imagine the majority will hate this decision.

Really very surprised by this. Not sure what to make of it. I don't have any problems with the Richard Woolsey character but I never, ever imagined him wearing the Atlantis Expedition uniform or being the type of man who dealt with the situations that Sam and Weir handled on a regular basis during their respective leadership reigns which often required picking up a P90 which is also something I could never imagine Woolsey doing.
The guys a bureaucrat. A desk jockey. He dots the I's and crosses the T's on the paperwork but there's a lot more to being the leader of Atlantis than riding a desk and he's sure gonna have to get that figured out pretty quick smart or he won't last.
In a way his situation is the reverse of Sam's. Sam was always used to going "out there", exploring and fighting and she had to realise as a commander that there were situations when she wasn't able to do that and she'd have to leave it to Sheppard and his team unless, of course, they were in trouble in which case Sam could go back to soldiering. Woolsey is going to be used to staying in his office in Washington but he's going to need to realise that he will need to go off-world.Last edited by Alan; 05 February 2008, 07:00 AM.

The series is going to go down hill now I fear, they should of made Daniel the new leader he was the perfect candidate. Not someone who is afraid of everything and is going to dismiss any difficult choices.
The only good thing is, Beckett is back for five episodes... Though I hope it will be more ¬_¬
I wonder, could I be in Stargate?
Probably not

Woolsey for me falls into the same category as Keller: like the actor, can't stand the character on SGA.
This proves their crap about wanting to go military was just that. Crap. They're going back to a civilian, and not to one who'd be a better leader than Weir. The only thing he's better at is pissing off Shep.
I guess they wanted their tension between Shep and the leader. It didn't work with Elizabeth, it didn't work with Carter -- how long until Shep punches Woolsey's lights out though?

To me, it was always a tossup between Caldwell and Woolsey.
It might just work out okay.
The position was really an administrative one originally, and now that the Replicator threat is gone, it can go back to that; in effect, he'll have as little to do with the action as Elizabeth did, and there shouldn't be any need to shoehorn him into episodes.
Also, since there's again a split between the admin/civilian side of the power and the military/security side, there's a good chance of some fireworks between him and Sheppard the next time there's an emergency and Shep decides it's military

Woolsey is a funny, but also an annoying character. I don't know how will it work, because he "likes" to make bad decisions (like in Returning II). I hope he will show us his skills from Inaugaration, where he became a very positive character."I was hoping for another day. Looks like we just got a whole lot more than that. Let's not waste it."

The sad fact is that Michael Shanks is expensive for the series. Try to imagine the fan reaction if they could hear that Samantha Carter was the commander for one year, than Daniel Jackson was for an other year etc. So I think they made a neutral choice, which can rev Atlantis up."I was hoping for another day. Looks like we just got a whole lot more than that. Let's not waste it."
