    How did Weir Turn Into a Brunette? - the recasting of Dr Weir

    Why didn't they decide to keep Jessica Steen as Dr. Weir. Now when you watch Season 7 of Stargate you see a cute looking blonde and then go over to Atlantis and we got some dark haired chick.

    I hate it when they switch people for characters!!

    She wanted too much money for a show that I think is abit of a long shot.

        That's a lie, the writers wanted a different actress. They have no clue what they were doing, by TLC they should have already desided on a person to play the role, it's just lame.

        BTW - She has brown hair and it was dyed, and of course there won't be any dye on Atlantis.
        It’s the show that doesn’t end, it goes on and on my friends, some people started watching not knowing what it was, but they will be watching forever just because it’s the show that doesn’t end…..

          Well, that may be what YOU think, but unless your name is Brad Wright then I don't think you actually KNOW why TPTB decided to go with a different actress. And since I doubt Brad Wright would ever trash his own show, I think it's safe to say that you are merely trying to pass off your opinion as fact.

          The truth is... we don't know. There are a lot of theories circulating, but I doubt we'll ever know the "real" reason. The best we can hope for is whatever PC story the producers think up to explain it.

            I don't think you can really say she wanted too much money. Just TPTB wanted a different actress like Shadow said. I have no idea why

              Well since their haven't been any 'solid' information on why they changed actresses (well none that i've read or seen), i'll take a guess, she didn't want to do the series, but that doesn't explain why the producers chose her when they already knew they were going to do a series...

                Well, Jessica said she was willing to do the series, well, her website said that... anyway, does it really matter. She changed. So did Jack, Daniel, Kawalski, Ferretti, Sha're, Sara, Charlie (twice! ), Cassy, Chaka, Warrick... it happens a lot

                  None of it matters anyways...Season one is basically already done.

                    Sara? Do you mean Osiris's host? Are you sure that she changed?

                    I want to know if they are going to make up some excuse for the change of actress in the show like The Matrix did. I hope not. I thought that found a "new shell" thing was very needy. They should have just left it.

                      What change of actor/actress happened in the Matrix, ooo i remember now, the oracle... i think thats what your talking about You do know why they changed the actress right? Anyways, i didn't know there were more than one actress who played Sha're, well probably didn't pay attention, haha... I thought Sarah was played by the same actress from the whole time shes been in the series?

                        Sara O'Neill. The actress playing Mrs. O'Neil in the movie was not the same as the one playing the estranged Mrs. O'Neill on the show.

                            In the Matrix they changed the oracles character cuz the first one kicked the bucket right?? Too bad cuz the first one was better.

                            Nothing worse than getting comfortable with one character and then they switch em up on you. Just doesn't make for good television.

                              You're right, the first Oracle 'kicked the bucket' just before they finished filming The Matrix Reloaded. However they did manage to avoid that little corner in Revolutions
