Originally posted by Royal_NonesuchI thought that at first myself, but in the GW interview she mentionsSpoiler:Sunday and the date, but goes on to add that, "There has been some really awful stuff that happened, and I cannot divulge it at all." That quote had me thinking again. I hope there hasn't been some character kill off, but as SR said, we should overreact when the event happens lol
However I really liked Torri's comments about Shep/Weir chemistry in that article--she sees it!
RoyalSpoiler:Maybe Caldwell is gonna' die because I heard somewhere that Mitch is working on a new show, isn't he ?

Originally posted by ddcSeveral posts have suggested Mitchel replacing Caldwell, which I guess is possible. Sort of like when Worf came over to DS9 after TNG ended. It would really change the dynamics, though, no more Weir/Sheppard v. Daedalus commander.

As far as whether a more crowded cast might mean less Sparky moments, that doesn't worry me. You guys have pointed out many times that Sparky shows up in scenes that don't necessarily advance the plot. Yet that scene is in the final cut of the show. Somebody likes Sparky!
The one thing that does concern me isSpoiler:the stuff Torri wouldn't talk about because it was too awful. Like others have said, that screams character death.sigpicsig by SueKay

I can't think of any situation (aside from the occasional guest star) where the cast of SG-1 wouldn't subtract from Atlantis for me. We already don't get enough character advancing stories on our main characters. Shoot, Teyla already has been completely shafted as far as character development goes. I can't imagine what would happen if there were more people to concentrate on.

I think they should throw their efforts into using what they have on the show to make it into the amazing show we all thought it could be. The inclusion of someone from SG-1 will definitely affect the present dynamic.
The two people I feel most sorry for are Ben Browder and Claudia Black (can't believe people are blaming them for SG-1's demise)... they have been given the rough end of the stick. But if Atlantis cans after S4 or S5 and either one is given a major role in the show, it won't be long before someone is going to blame them for it I'm sure.
The most heartening thing to me in this entire affair is the number of people who have come out in support of Atlantis and the cast members.sigpic

Originally posted by mcatMeanwhile, I've been musing on obsessing over a certain part in TRW.Spoiler:It's the way that Elizabeth greets John on the balcony. Is it just me, or is that a tone of voice that we hardly ever hear? Not just on the show, I mean, but in life in general. Does that not sound like a tone you use on a person you are really, really close to? Combine that with the smile she gives him, and I feel like maybe, just maybe she is starting to realize something...
Someone please tell me if I'm crazy and should probably start paying more attention in my anatomy lectures instead of thinking about this.
Spoiler:Last time she greet her after Lucias stroked her face.
I love to see Liz being so casual with John.

I think people who don't watch Atlantis are crazy.
And I think people who don't watch Stargate SG-1 are equally as whacked.

Spoiler:I've enjoyed S.3 ok enough, but so far I haven't jumped up & "OMG?!!!"'d over a story since S.1. mid-season Sparkfest.
Sorry I'm so grumpy tonight.
Originally posted by Reaceania35000 sounds like a nice round number for a party (Any excuse really). That and 1,000,000 views. Can we have a thread party then?
Oh yeh, can someone tell me what was in the extra special stuff that was available at skiffy until 2am after the show aired. I missed it. Was it a deleted scene or something?
Spoiler:It looks like Jack gets stuck on Atlantis while Weir and her people are on Earth
....other than that- nothing really interesting.

No one is quite certain how to interpret Stern's remarks, but it appears that SciFi wants to send some SG1 characters to SGA. This smells like a total revamp of SGA and possible dumping of more characters (like Ford was).
SciFi stinks!
Originally posted by LizabethWoah--What? I leave the thread for a few days and the show gets canceled?! Wow didn't I see this on the first page? Am I blind? Was it there?
Ok, after initial shock, I can see SG-1 being canceled. Doesn't really surprise me that much. Thank goodness Atlantis is still on. I hope they don't cancel that before Sparky has time to fully develop. If they do cancel can they speed up the Sparky so we can end with a geniune kiss? Pretty please??
Originally posted by Royal_NonesuchThanks for all the reports and info. 'm thinking, like Melyanna and others, that they won't pull in a Daniel Jackson or a Samantha Carter because of the production cost issues, but I oculd be wrong. It occurred to me that this could be some kind of Sci-Fi channel power play to consolidate all ratings into something larger and therefore justify the increase in cost.
The other quote that keeps coming to mind is Torri Higginson's from her recent interviews. She said something will be happening in S3 of Atlantis that will likely set off a "firestorm" on the internet. (here is the link: http://www.ifmagazine.com/feature.asp?article=1617) Perhaps the staff already knew about the impending cancellation and decided to move a character to SGA by the end of this season?

Originally posted by xfkirstenI've heard that one kicked around a lot lately and (Sunday spoilers)Spoiler:she said it right when she was talking about Weir's date in Sunday. I assumed that she was calling it a "firestorm" jokingly when she said that Weir would be going on a date. That's how I interpreted it, anyways.sigpic

Irish Eyes, it concerns me too!Spoiler:I hope that a character doesn't die- and I hope that the really awful stuff that Torri talks about in her interview is the fact that John gets fed upon by a Wraith- think about it, that would be horrible wouldn't it? I know that I'm not looking forward to it....(well sorta, in a morbid way- like the Daniel arc)
Originally posted by Easter LilyI feel the same... and as it is Atlantis is treading on rather thin ice...

Originally posted by IzzybazJust made a spur of the moment fun little graphic under the spoiler cut:
Spoiler:This is my take on Lizzie's reaction to the idea that the SG1 cast could migrate to Atlantis...
They better not take away our balcony time! What would we do with less Sparky scenes? I know that I would go absolutly bonkers! But then again- there is always fanfiction- not a good substitute....but it'll do in a pinch- if I really, really have to deal with it- but like I've said before- I doubt that that will happen, cause it isn't practical.sigpic
