    Two Dr Weirs?

    Is it just me? I was watching the "best of" marathon last night, and it just occured to me that the blonde chick who played "Dr Weir" in the first ep where she made her appearance as the new leader of SGC (Anubis coming to destroy earth) is a totally different "Dr Weir" than in the Atlantis series. Sup with that?

    Yeah, it's a different actress. I think the Weir of SGA, Torri Higginson, has more presence than the one from Lost City, Jessica Steen, so the change I'm ok with, although it would've been better if they'd used TH from the beginning.
    SQUEE like no one's listening.

      They had TH playing weir at the beginning of season 8 aswell, they only used the blode woman end of season 7. Either that or working at the SGC dramatically changes a woman!

          yeah I like TH playing Dr. Wier. To me, TH is more authoritarian whereas JS is a pansy

            I agree with yens.

            Last night was the first I've ever seen the Lost City episodes. I didnt like JS at all. She seemed like such a wimp.

              I'm surprised that so many people didn't know that she was introduced with another actress in the position. In my opinion, the original Weir looked WAY too much like Carter, and I think having another blonde who is that smart and that much in command would be kind of repetitive. I don't mean that blondes can't have such positions (no offense to any who are reading this!), but it's nice to see a varied cast, and the women of Stargate (Weir, Carter, and Teyla) are all very different physically, mentally, and spiritually, which adds some lovely variety.

                  I believe the original plan was to have Woolsey in charge of Atlantis but when they changed their minds to Weir - JS didnt want to do a full series

                    Really? that sounds kinda cool. I like Woolsey but don't think he could run Atlantis - can you imagine him offworld?

                          I'm not sure if JS played Weir like a wimp, but the Weir in S7 of Sg-1 and the Weir of Atlantis do seem like two different people.

                          I wonder if JS didn't want to do the Atlantis spin-off or TPTB didn't want her to do the Atlantis spin-off.
                          Things I've learned about the Stargate Universe:
                          1. Don't kiss a goa'uld.
                          2. Don't shake hands with a Wraith.
                          3. Whacko! are the Ori. It's their way or the hot way.

                              Wow, I didn't know that. Woolsey in charge would have been interesting!

                              I really like TH. JS never really stood out for me in that role, but then again she was only in a few eps and I guess we didn't see her reach her full potential. I'm glad they changed to Tori though.
