will zalenka get much airtime

[crompton20]

zalenka must be one of the most populer characters on zalenka (what odds do i get on him dying? or leaving? lol i kid, i kid)

so with carter coming over and it likely becoming the carter mckay show i wonder if zalenka will get much air time or whether he will become a very minor recurring character, with carter being in the military to this must also cast doubts on lornes future

hopefully lorne should stay as normal but i do think it would be hard for them to include carter , mckay and zelenka all at the same time and allow for character development

[ata_beckett]

I heard somewhere that he's in 15 eps.

No way. I think Sam will be the end of Zelenka. He will be pushed into the background, then we'll never, ever see him again. I think Lorne's position is threatened, too.

But if TPTB believe that this is going to boost ratings, then let them believe it.

Oh, it's Zelenka, with an 'e'.

No, that was Carter, who will be in 14 episodes. There are no definitive episode appearances for Zelenka or Lorne (the beloved secondary characters).

It's had to tell how much time he'll have on screen as now with Carter joining the cast (sigh), the Mckay-Zelenka chatter could easily be turned into Mckay-Carter chatter instead. After all, Zelenka was brought in to help with the technobabble exposition, and now with Carter there, well, that's all she really does on SG1....

From David Nykl's blog:

I dropped in yesterday to pick up the first three scripts - "Doppleganger", "Lifeline", and "Adrift" and to get fitted for THE SAME OLD BLUE SHIRT I ALWAYS WEAR. Yup. It's still there.

So yes, as of right now, I'd say he is getting some airtime.

Only main characters are allowed more than one change of clothings. Some extras don't even get clothing at all!

ANd I just checked his blog last night and it wasn't there. Glad to see him getting airtime. Does anybody know where the one fan gets the '15 episodes' remark from?

[jenks]

His imagination, probably.

darn, I missed those episodes with all the nude extras wandering around

Yeah, in some shows, extras must bring their own attire (but for alien space planets, I don't think people have that attire in their closet...)

Hopefully his character is funny!

Afraid to say you're probably right there.

[Atlantis1]

I really like Zelenka. He is my second favorite character on the show. He adds alot to the show. Besides who else can put up as well with McKay?

[Pharaoh Hamenthotep]

I'd be worried about Zelenka getting too much screentime. Before you know it he'll pe promoted to main cast status and then killed in a meaningless and pointless way (not thinking of anyone specific). better if he stays in the background. he'll live longer!

What you haven't heard of the new spinoff, "Stargate: Zelenka"?
