Please get rid of Dr. Weir

[FieryHands]

This is after all the pilot, I say wait a few episodes to see where the writers take her. Weir has plenty of potential to develop more of a backbone once they've been on a few adventures.

[MasterPower]

I don't find anything wrong with Weir.
She isn't that bad.

[Buzz Lightyear]

She's Atlantis' Captain Picard to SG-1's Jack O'neill Captain Kirk.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

FYI, Captain Picard is arguably the most popular Star Trek captain of them all.

Besides, why would Weir need to be like O'Neill or Kirk when the Sheppard character is designed to fill that role?

[vikingjedi]

Right, Sheppard is the real leader so ditch her. It also makes Sheppard look bad when he has to ask for permission all the time to do anything.

[Ugly Pig]

Why does that make him look bad? He's just following the chain of command. That's how it works.

I vote for getting rid off Weir. She has no leadership capability whatsoever.

[Hooni]

She is not my favorite character but I know why.

My husband is a director of a major retail chain and one of his management tricks is neutral feedback. He pulls that "I understand how you feel" crap on me and I want to break a chair over his head. That is exactly what Weir does. It makes me feel like she is patronizing whoever she is talking to.

It's more my personal issue though. I am hoping as the actress gets more comfortable with the character they will drop the neutral feedback/patronizing trick.

Exactly. Weir's behavior is realistic.

It's not necessarily dramatic, though. I think she needs a foil or sounding board for her. That'd show the pressures she's under (And, ironically, it would show how alone she is).

The problem with the character is that it's not being shown very well what kind of pressures she's under. She's having to fight a war...a war that she's not prepared for. She's undergoing multitudes of First Contacts. She's under terrible time crunches for resource and technology searches.

I wonder why we're not seeing them....

Thanks for this Hooni. This is the best thing I have read all night! HAHAHAH

Weir must DIE!

[Supreme Commander Thor]

Weir must DIE!

HA! Now that is a little extreme

[Ancient 1]

Oh my God, what a terrible character!

She's Atlantis' Captain Picard to SG-1's Jack O'neill Captain Kirk.

I can't stand the booo hooo, let's not do anything cause there's big bad boogy men out there, I also don't care for her attitude of "I'm an American, and I'm lucky to be here because of America and the American Govt, cuts me my pay check, but I'll be the first person to stand up and ***** about America and the government employing me"

Sounds like she works for the New York Times or something.

Other then that, liked the show, just dump Weir!

Yea, she's even way left of being P C! She should come back to earth and shack up with Al Frankin and Michael Moore!

[Supreme Commander Thor]

She should come back to earth and shack up with Al Frankin and Michael Moore!

ROTFLMAO... Yeah, if this was true I too would say get rid of her... hahahah
