Word. What a joke.

Well, this is certainly interesting.

Personally, I don't mind, seems like fun (as others have stated, I can definitely see Sheppard punching Woolsey). But I do know that this could go really bad with the fans. The writers definitely need to find a way to make this character more likeable or at least not as much of an idiot real soon. Like, in the first couple episodes of Season 5 or some fans might seriously quit watching.

WTH??

I just found out and.... Is this some sort of sick joke? Woolsey as commander!?

I despise the character, he's annoying, arrogant, a jerk... NOT my choice for commander of Atlantis.

[Admiral Mappalazarou]

w00t! I hope to GOD they don't write him like Wier....please....don't do that. Woosley is ace.

[JohnRico]

Robert is great. I loved him in ST Voyager. But serioulsy? Woolsey as a leader? Tell me, just tell me how on Earth is he better then Weir?!

No one here is hating on Robert. Robert is a fantastic actor & I think everyone can agree on that. The character just really sucks & he would give Atlantis complete control to the Genii or Wraith when the next siege happens.

TPTB deserve that. I mean WTF? Why not Caldwell? Or Sheppard? Is Shep going to be the errand boy for eternity?

Somebody tell me if there's a scene where Ronon yells at the new leader and the brave new leader faints. That's the only thing I'm interested to see. What a joke.

but it's getting the fans in a up roar which in turn will make people want to watch the show.

Indeed Seftrex if they are not careful with how they do this then this decision alone can be the decision that kills Atlantis. I am willing to give it a shot but if Woolsey is still Woolsey then Im done. I wonder what idiot suggested Woolsey as Commander

I'm betting it's the same one who came up with the idea of removing Elizabeth.

Robert is great. Woolsey is spineless. Not really a leadership material, and doesn't come close to Weir. Nobody does, but please don't bite my head off here. That's my personal opinion.

at one time I think it was Robert cooper ...did say he wanted Robert to become a more regular member of the cast so i guess in a way he got his wish

[1LostFurling]

I am disappointed in two different ways: First, Woolsey is not the right choice for this job. All of us know the myriad of reasons why (indecision, poor decisions, no people skills, no technical knowledge, etc.).

However, I am more disappointed in the fact the TPTB will "magically" rewrite Woolsey's personality to better suit his new position, just like they dumbed down Carter's scientific knowledge so she could better fit the commander role.

It seems to me that TPTB were forced to make a last minute, rushed decision which, IMHO, appears to be an incorrect one. Let's hope the rewriting of Woolsey's character is both plausible and entertaining.

Horrible, I think I Season 4 is the last season for me. I would rather some crazy turn of event and somehow, oh I don't know, Vala is the leader. I would prefer that over Woolsey any day.

Woosley as Commander is NOT the way to bring in Woosley. I seriously hope the Wraith Sieges Atlantis now while Johns team is Off World. Woosley wouldnt last 1 minute

Haha, no kidding... though, for me, it's a turn off, I like Woolsey as a recurring character, as much as he annoys me that's about all I can take of him. I hope he get's an attitude adjustment when he comes to Atlantis!

well if s5 is like s4 I'll be happy
