Either that or Coop doesn't read The Blog.

Originally posted by Suki View PostObviously, somebody at the magazine edited out the part where Coop, realizing his error, clarified his statement by saying, "I'm sorry, did I say 'the change (from one character/actress to the other)' needed to be made? Silly me, what I meant to say was, 'the two completely independent and wholly unrelated creative decisions' needed to be made."
Either that or Coop doesn't read The Blog.

Personally, I think the article (finally found a link to the scan here) is pretty insulting towards Carter, too, since it seems to imply (to me, anyway) that she was never "good enough" to take a leadership position on SG-1 and thus has to be foisted off on the "inferior" Atlantis where she'll be able to shine. From behind a desk.

On SGA, however, the role of "expedition leader" was not the role that went to the "star of the show" so, yes, while SGA is in no way the inferior show, as far as I'm concerned, of the two roles - SG-1 leader or Atlantis expedition leader - the latter is the "inferior" one, status-symbol-wise, and thus the "safe" command to give to their pet character.
So they completely upend one show in order to prop up a character they (or the network, or both) didn't feel could carry another show, and we're supposed to be excited about this "wonderful" new addition when their own past actions indicate they know full well she isn't as wonderful as all that.
Yes, I can see how this "needed" to be done.
For Carter's benefit. Certainly not mine.Last edited by Suki; 06 April 2007, 09:04 PM.

Well ladies and gentlemen, looks like the fat lady has finally sung.
I'd pretty much given up on season 4. Exploding tumors will that to a girl. But with Weir, I was hoping against hope that I would at least have a reason to peek in on some episodes of season 4. Looks like that ain't gonna happen. I will not be around to watch <mod snip> cut Elizabeth off at the knees.
I just don't understand how they think a character from a show that has been cancelled due to falling ratings (viewer fatigue I would think) is gonna improve the ratings of a spin-off that was already doing better than its parent. Especially when the spin off looses two pretty popular existing characters to make room. These guys must be studying the Enron guide to success. LOL.
Anyway, one thing I have learned from this debacle. I will never watch another show that these guys produce. It just isn't worth the aggravation. They apparently don't know when its time to let go . . . but I sure as hell do.Last edited by Skydiver; 06 April 2007, 04:40 PM.sigpic

You know what, I hate to say it, but you can't put any stock in anything these guys say. I'm not gonna use the word lie, but they have been weaving and bobbing since this whole thing first hit. Are they so arrogant that they didn't they expect fans to react? Or did they think we would just fall into lockstep because the Bridge boys know what's best and who are we, the lowly fans, to question their brilliance. LOL.sigpic
