Will Weir be recast?

As stupid as I found that paticular move, if it was one by TPTB...I can't deny that the thought did cross my mind. I think that's just because in Soaps (which I admit to loving to watch), they could change the character's actress 8 times and then go back to the original actress later on.
But then again, I've seen characters change race on Soaps. That's actually my favorite when they go from being one race to another.
In any event, it's unlikely to happen or they will face some serious backlash.

I wondered the same thing! I do actually think it's possible. I mean, she is, afterall, repli-weir. Who's to say she cant change her appearance if she wants to? :3

NO diss from me on either of them,as I like both actresses and both Weirs in their respective versions ,and I support Torri's decision to leave.
I think it more likely ,if the PTB go ahead with further replicator eps ,that they'll have a repli mention Weir's final demise ,without showing any detail.
( Or they may never mention her at all.)

Don't see it happening myself, I can't say it didn't cross my mind though.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 don't see that happening because I can't imagine that TPTB would to ask Jessica Steen to reprise a role that they already bumped her from once and also because I can't imagine that Jessica would see taking this role again as a good career move.
From her website, here's some related info, http://www.jessicasteen.com/jsp_faq.html:
Spoiler:Q: Jessica played the character of Dr. Elizabeth Weir in the season 7 finale' of Stargate SG-1. Why did they hire another actress to play that same character in the spinoff series Stargate: Atlantis?
A: We don't know why. When Jessica was hired for the 2 part Season 7 finale' (Lost City) she was told that her character might be in a possible Stargate spinoff series. Jessica was even paid not to take any other work until it was decided if they were going to do the spinoff. Stargate:Atlantis was eventually given the green light, but for whatever reason, "the powers that be" decided to go with another actress.
Based on the above info, I can't see either side wanting to revisit this potential can of worms.sigpic

This is sign of bad management.
Keeping Tori Higginson would have HELPED not hurt the show.
That the show runners couldn't see this makes me wonder exactly WHAT they are thinking.
I think that too many cast changes and no coherent storyline will bring this show (and the franchise) to a rapid end.
Season 5:Yes
Season 6:Maybe
Season 7: Probably not

I don't think the franchise is going anywhere. SGA's numbers would have to do one hell of a nosedive in order for Universe not to get greenlit. It's something tried and true, something standard-issue and it isn't Farscape, so Sci-Fi will definitely be reasonable enough to pick it up at least to sample even if SGA loses enough viewership to reduce its own lifespan.If you've seen a Jeff O'Connor or a JeffZero or a Jeff Zero or a JeffZeroConnor elsewhere on the net, there's a considerable chance it's me.

I may not have much faith in TPTB, but I'm pretty sure they aren't imbecilic enough to replace Weir's actress AGAIN, especially not with the original actress. That's beyond wishy-washy and into full-blown lobotomized desperation.
But hey, if TPTB weren't interested in keeping Weir full time they probably won't be interested in keeping her around at all now that Torri's walked away. And that can only be a good thing, IMO. It's a shame it had to be this way, but it's better than the alternatives.
