...was simply fired?Anyone else have a little bit of a problem with that? Especially since she was fired in FAVOR of Woolsey. Was there logic in there that I'm simply missing, or was this the laziest write out ever?

Yeah, I guess I just felt that if they were going to fire her... there should have been something there to back it up. Or some sort of story involved. Not simply "Yeah, Military leadership hasn't worked out as well as we'd liked, so we're going with a bureaucrat... who has never shown real leadership skills.I mean, that last leader wasn't military and she worked out great!"Proud member of the C.O.T.W.O.S.F.

It was a lazy write out, and an injustice to the character.

Well as I understand it she wasn't fired in favor of Woolsey. He is simply taking her place while they search for full time replacement, but he ends up getting the job along the way. Also, I'd assume they will get into more of the reasons in the following episodes when Sheppard, Mckay, and co angrily clash with Woolsey over it. There was no reason for them to go into it on screen with Carter and the way they did it served to end the episode in a way that would lead in nicely with the next as Woolsey likely gets to shock Atlantis with the leadership change now.

actually I kind of like it this way. This way in this time line Sam can get command of the Phoenix and have time to get it up and running.
it was short and to the point. besides as others have statd this way the Atlantian teams can rub woosley the wrong way for an entire year and we get to watch. Nothing is better than rubbing the woosley.

Well, it kinda irritated me the way it was done. The first female military leadership is told they're "looking for a different skill set".
WTFrak1?! Carter just got slapped for.... what, exactly, did she do wrong again?
But, I suppose I'll go along with it. Not the best way to exit a long-standing character like Carter IMO. Could she at least walk out with some dignity?
