How did Weir Turn Into a Brunette? - the recasting of Dr Weir

[Elwe Singollo]

According to Yahoo Movies, Gregs Preview, it says they replaced the Oracle because the previous Oracle died (In real life that is)

That's what we meant, in not so expressed terms

My eyes are playing tricks on me I thought it said "kick the budget" But anyway, yah, sad The thing happened with 8 simple rules, and it was weird since the dad was practically the main character of the show.

[Anubis]

I didn't know that happened

About... 8 simple rules? John Ritter, the main character (the dad), died during the beginning of the season of last year (i think it was last year)? So the season started with a couple of episodes with him, then had an episode about his death(in the show), so it was written in, very depressing

[Anubis]

I didn't know he died for real, just on the show

[Elwe Singollo]

ooo, i think it was a heart problem, not sure

Did anyone not like Jessica Steen as Dr. Weir? I thought it would be kind of funny if she still had the role, cause her hair looks similar to Sam's hair, and it was funny seeing two blondes, with similar hair styles on the show, but of course only for the first episodes

I liked Jessica. Shame she didn't stay!

Im starting to like the new Weir (even though i haven't seen her in action yet haha...)

Huh? Who's John Ritter? Was he in Stargate? Who did he play?

I apologise for my ignorance. It's the tests, I swear, it's not me, it's the tests. (i know, v. lame)

I don't think Sam is going to appear on Atlantis until later. They only wanted O'Neill and Daniel on the openers because the characters were in the original movie or something...No Teal'c 'til later either.
