Make Lorne and Zelenka Regulars!

[sueKay]

Hey everyone!

I'm bitterly dissappointed at the decision to make Keller a full-time member of the crew. (No harm to Jewel Staite...I'd be very happy if Kaylee came to Atlantis!)

What annoys me even more is that we have Lorne and Zelenka - two fantastic, complex, useful and witty characters - stuck as recurring, despite the fact they've made for better viewing and have had a significant part to play in the series as a whole.

Don't forget the large amount of recurring characters that have also arguably had a large impact on the show - Caldwell, Ellis, Cadman, etc...

So, if you'd love to see Lorne or Zelenka in the credits, please post here!

Lorne and Zelenka are two of my favs and I would love to see more of them.

. . .and less of Keller. Much less.

You do realize the the higher they're up on the ladder of death ... the sooner the character's life comes to an untimely end, right?

It's Atlantis - I exepect by season seven (if we get that far) that Sheppard and Teyla will be the last two standing (Or Sheppard and Rodney, or Sheppard and Ronon).

Sorry, am I sounding a tad cynical lol?

Despite the fact, that I agree with you in the point, that Lorne and Zelenka would be much more fun as regulars it just would`nt make any sense.
You have to see that Lorne and Zelenka are only number 2`s in there part of the work that has to be done at Atlantis.

Lorne is the number 2 military, Zelenka is number 2 scientist. Keller is the number one medic. And the number one medic always played a very important role in the stargate franchise.

Like that we can get much more excited if we get Lorne or Zelenka in an ep. Then there is something "special". Otherwise I doubt they would get ordinary after a short period of time.

I love both these characters but don't think they should become regulars, theres already enough! More of them would be great and yeah I do prefer them to Keller but they are good as they are, thats why we like them, making them regulars would change that. IMHO.

that would b awesome if they did become regulars, but if they just guest star a lot i will b just as happy

[P-90_177]

I don't mind keller beconing a regular as long as she doesn't end up being like in missing very often.

As for Lorne and Zalenka. I would like Lorne to become a regular. He is quite cool. And as cool as zalenka is don't think he should be.

[Kanetsidohi]

I love Lorne and Zelenka but it's such a dangerous task being regulars!

Having said that and following the known pattern, Keller should find an utterly ridiculous and useless demise. Which in her case it wouldn't be any of that.

I thnk Radek in particular has really developed in the past two series, as a scientific mind and also as a human being with a lovely sense of humour. But there's just one problem...he's not a sexy blonde girl...

[Bonbon]

toooootally agree. on lorne especially.

[Bonbon]

But there's just one problem...he's not a sexy blonde girl...

LOL. Sadly very true.

If justice was the ruler of the world (or at least, have something to do when TPTB are making these kind of decisions), then at least Zelenka would be a regular, probably since last season. Anyway, both of them would be regulars before Keller, no doubt.

That being said, I must confess I don't see like a good idea them becoming regulars, specially after seeing what had happened with Beckett and the necesity to introduce him in a lot of plots where his presence didn't make a lot of sense, this way ruining (to some degree) such a fantastic character.

And because...

Truer words have never been spoken, girl

But probably TPTB don't pay attention to such things, and their decision-making goes more along this lines...

Yep, we live in a very sad world, guys...

Keller is the number one medic. And the number one medic always played a very important role in the stargate franchise.

You think so?!
I must confess that at the beginning, when SGA didn't even exist yet and I was a great SG-1 fan, I was quite pissed-off for Dr. Fraiser not being a regular. Nowadays I still feel she should have been a regular, but seeing what happened later with Beckett, I think it was better that way with her being a recurrent character.
So Keller as a regular... not a very good idea. If it didn't work for Beckett, a much more developed and charismatic character, I don't know what's going to happen with her...

I love the idea of both becoming more prominent, but TPTB would never do it because they want more useless, cutsey Mary Sues in tight shirts (Keller).

Heaven forbid if they put interesting, fan favs up as regs!
