I see your point. SG-1 and Atlantis are my Action/ Adventure shows and BSG is my Drama show. So it does't realy bother me that Shep is running round with his Mini Me directing him.Originally posted by ShadowMaatThat's your opinion and that's obviously what TPTB want us to think, but I see very little about Shep that's mature or funny and I'd say he's more tolerable than likeable. Or he was tolerable before S2 decimated his character for me.
Maybe if someone would cut off his "downstairs brain" he might remember to use the upstairs one once in a while.

Originally posted by Atlantis1Seems to me alot of time is spent downing Sheppard. If it wasn't for this character I would not have bought into the whole Stargate: Atlantis thing. I like him.

I sometimes wonder if the people who have the most problems with him are actually jealous of the character and wish they were him.
Saying I'd be jealous of this guy would be like saying I'm jealous of a guy with 40 IQ.Comment

Well said!Originally posted by Atlantis1Seems to me alot of time is spent downing Sheppard. If it wasn't for this character I would not have bought into the whole Stargate: Atlantis thing.

I agree with Prion. Is this thread still meandering away? Well, obviously the answer is yes.
Nobody here has actually presented a sound reason why Sheppard should be demoted yet. All of his decisions, certainly in Season 2, have either been okayed by Weir, or have been direct orders from her. In season 1, they were all out of their league, and made mistakes - so what?
As far as I'm aware you can't demote a man for finding women attractive, especially if it doesn't interfere with his job. And, again, when has Sheppard flirting, (which is a matter of opinion as to whether he is or isn't anyway), ever jeopardized a mission?
So, sorry, I just see this thread as an excuse for a minority of people to vent their frustrations, as they don't like Sheppard. That's fine - not to like him. Why should everyone? But to say he should be demoted when there is no basis for it is pointless - in my opinion.Last edited by Linzi; 29 April 2006, 02:54 AM.sigpicComment

Am I jealous of Shep? No. For starters, I'm a girl. Second, I don't find him all that attractive. Third, he's always been more tolerable than likeable to me and fourth, letching after everyone of the opposite sex (or being lusted after by them) has NEVER been my idea of entertainment. "Disgusted and embarrased" is much closer to describing how I feel about him and his behavior.Originally posted by Atlantis1I sometimes wonder if the people who have the most problems with him are actually jealous of the character and wish they were him.
And for god's sake, if you don't like a thread and want to see it die, STOP REPLYING TO IT!!! And don't come on specifically rile up the thread's denizens. It's rude, it creates a lot of misunderstanding, and it only makes people LESS inclined to stop posting.Comment

i gree, but i do think that shepard need to be demoted, he has proved to be no millitary tactician and he lacks any respect for the chain of command. we cannot have a guy like him defending the faith of earth because once atlantis is captured earth is next.Originally posted by Avatar28Now now. I'm sure the ancient chick he slept with didn't have any STDs and, face it, it had probably been several thousand years. That's a long time for ANYONE to go without, um, carnal relations. You can hardly call her an alien slut for wanting a little something something after all that time.
some relationships are worth getting your heart broken over

Agreed, Caldwell needs to assume command. Though, I would have rather have Sumner or Everett take command. Given that won't happen since one is dead and the other is a 90 year old vegetable.Originally posted by thegatebuildersComment

Oh yes. More times than I care to admit. Let me ask you the same, have you? I don't think there's much doubt that you and I obviously aren't watching the same show....Originally posted by npattissigpicComment

It really is a shame that people can't stick to discussion of opinions and keep getting this overwhelming compulsion to insult anyone who dares to disagree with their viewpoint.
I, for one, would still like to see Shep suffer some serious repercussions for his actions, his behavior, and his part in the decision-making process. I wouldn't mind a demotion, but I can see how that might seem a little extremist to others. I would settle for something less, but I'd want it to be something that had some by-god lasting repercussions and not just an idiotic slap on the hand or an "oops, my bad" coupled with a sheepish grin from Shep. I want to see him suffer. Or better, I want those around him to suffer and for him to have to live with it. And I don't want it to be something he can pass off as a joke three eps later.
If you disagree with me, that's fine. But don't tell me I'm watching the wrong show, don't tell me I'll complain about anything, don't tell me I'm blind, and IN NO WAY WHATSOEVER should you EVER tell me or anyone else that an opinion is wrong, stupid, or doesn't count. It's MY opinion, NOT yours, and my opinion is no more "right" or "wrong" than yours- it's just different. That's why it's called an OPINION and not a FACT.Comment

This thread seems to be taking a dramatic dive into "personal attack" territory. Please be cognizant of what you are saying before you click "reply." The topic of this thread is whether or not Sheppard should be demoted, not about your personal opinion of the people who post here.Comment

I don't understand why it's so upsetting when someone doesn't like a character you like. I like Vala and I have yet to be bothered by anything anyone has said about her. I certainly don't think there is anything wrong with the people that don't like her. People perceive things differently. No big woop.
Feel free to tell us why you don't think he should be demoted. I like a good debate.
