    SG-1 is not taking over Atlantis!

    I see these posts about how Daniel shouldn't move to Atlantis as a recurring guest star, because SG-1 characters are taking over the show. This simply isn't true.

    Walter Harriman (Chevron Guy): 7 Episodes
    Hank Landry: 5 Episodes
    Jack O'Neill: 4 Episodes
    Richard Woosley: 4 Episodes
    Smantha Carter: 3 Episodes
    Daniel Jackson: 1 Episode
    George Hammond: 1 Episode
    Bill Lee: 1 Episode
    Malcolm Barrett: 1 Episode
    Ayiana from SG-1 "Frozen:" 1 Episode

    1-01 "Rising" - Jack and Daniel
    1-08 "Home" - Hammond and Walter
    1-16 "Letters from Pegasus" - Walter and Carter
    2-02 "The Intruder" - Landry
    2-13 "Critical Mass" - Landry, Lee, & Barrett
    2-14 "Grace Under Pressure" - Carter
    3-01 "No Man's Land" - Landry, Woosley, & Harriman
    3-02 "Misbegotten" - Woosley and Harriman
    3-06 "The Real World" - O'Neill
    3-08 "McKay and Mrs. Miller" - Carter
    3-10 "The Return, Part 1" - O'Neill, Landry, Woosley, Lee, and Harriman

    You're right, it's the SG-1 show!

    As long as SG-1 characters stay recurring on Atlantis I don't mind. It only makes sense that SG-1 characters will appear on Atlantis since most of them are the experts in their fields. It also helps new viewers realize how much history stargate has to it.

      Hmmm....it's interesting that there is very little debate when the actual facts are laid out. I wonder what that means...

        I suspect that the people claiming SG-1 is taking over the show are also taking into account the recent announcement of Sam Carter's 14 episodes in S4.

        It *is* amusing to see that Walter has made the most guest appearances on SGA. Go Walter! *g*
        Oh, and Siler appeared briefly (blink and you miss him) in Return 1. And wait, I think he was in Rising as well.

        Keep Atlantis.

          I agree that SG-1 isn't "taking over" Atlantis. Personally, I like seeing people from SG-1 occasionally on SGA. Just not every episode.

            Then SG-1 isn't taking over SG:A, Carter is. I can understand people afraid of SG:A turning into the Carter & McKay show, but saying it's becoming Atlantis SG-1 is just silly.

            I know! LOL

            I couldn't tell from IMDB as they list him in lots of SG:A as stunt double or stunt coordinator, I forgot whut his stunt job is.

              Yeah, he's their head stunt guy, whatever that positon is called.

              Here's Siler from Rising.

              I don't have a cap of Siler from Return 1, but
              Spoiler:
              he was in the jumper when Shep and team came in to steal it, and Shep zatted him, then threw him out of the jumper.


              As for people saying SG-1 is taking over, I get your point that Carter alone isn't SG-1. But aside from a few extreme povs, most of the posts I've seen relating to this were to the effect that since Carter is already coming over for 14 episodes, the addition of any more SG-1 characters, even for one-off guest spots, would feel like SG-1 taking over.

                Aside from Carter, SG-1 guest spots will be no different than prior seasons. SG:A fans are using SG-1 as a scape goat when they're really mad at Carter.

                  Well, I've seen a few Sam/Jack fans saying they want Jack to appear on Atlantis so they can resolve their ship. Not that I think such a thing is likely, but if it did, I'd probably think "SG-1, get out of Atlantis!"

                  So basically, what I'm trying to say, is that with Carter in Atlantis for 14 episosdes, I can see why people might react badly to even more SG-1 guest stars. It won't be the same as in previous seasons, because Sam would already be there!

                  Keep Atlantis.

                    What happened in previous seasons has NOTHING to do with the fact that some think SG-1 is taking over Atlantis. I'm sure nobody said 'has taken over Atlantis".
                    With Carter already there and people still demanding to bring even more SG-1 characters to Atlantis (I have heard "Bring Daniel over", "Bring Jack over" a million times), it is beyond me how you can even start such a thread.

                    I understand that DJ is your favorite character and you want to keep seeing him, but please, show a little compassion for the fans of the show who like the show and like the cast the way it is...

                      but he would go really well with the show.
                      Please do me a huge favour and help me be with the love of my life.

                        But your point is about bringing Daniel over - in the context of there already being one member of SG1 as a major recurring character (appearing in over half the episodes in the season) on the show. Adding more SG1 characters WOULD feel like SG1 taking over the show to many SGA fans. What you suggest would amount of bringing HALF of SG1's gate team over to Atlantis!

                        See above. Having SG1 guest spots when you already have a major continuing crossover by transplanting an SG1 character into the show does feel like too much SG1 influence on the show. Let's look at DS9 as an example... they brought Worf over from TNG to join the DS9 cast. Did they also have other TNG characters making guest spots on DS9 as well? No, they didn't.

                        Indeed. It's very clear from most of your posts that Daniel is your favourite character and that your main focus of interest is in seeing more of him. That's all well and good. For a lot of Atlantis fans however, this is not the case and many of us are not particularly interested in seeing more of SG1 characters in general... and certainly not at the expense of screentime for the SGA characters who we enjoy.

                        Personally, if I wanted to watch Daniel - or Carter, for that matter - I would watch SG1 and the upcoming SG1 movies. Why can't you be happy with the fact that you have the movies in which to further enjoy Daniel instead of constantly seeking to dismiss the concerns of fans who are not interested in Daniel and, justifiably, are not interested in seeing him on Atlantis?

                            If TPTB acceded to every fan's desire to have their particular favourite character brought over - regardless of whether they fit or not - then the show really would be doomed.
