The Anti Season 4 Thread (Spoilers). For complaints and misgivings ONLY.
I made an anti-Stargate forum a while ago but I haven't promoted it really. It's just there. I can give the link via pm if anybody wants to talk on forums and about anything or I can tell you how to set up a free one.
Torri Higginson:"Elizabeth had a mad crush on Sheppard." at Halfway Con - Sparktastic weekend with Joe and Torri, on October 30, 2011
It seems it's going to be about SG1... And I feel sorry for Jason... O wait, SG1 is the most important one. *headdesk* How could I forget? *shakes head*
I'm confused, which show was cancelled...
I found the DH interview interesting, or maybe disturbing is a better word. The closer we get to the start of S4, the more we're hearing about Elizabeth's fate. And none of it sounds good. If she does end up as repli!Weir or something similar, how is this character development? The only way this is going to work for me is if somehow she retains part of her human self and there is a chance for redemption, that somehow she will be herself again.
At least some of the actors are going to miss Elizabeth / Torri.
At the end of the day, we've only got her for 4 more episodes. We'd better get some good follow through on what happens to her or I'll slowly be sliding off the fence. And if they don't bring her back as a regular in season 5, I'll happily step down and go on my way. Yes, I know, I'm not a true fan. But honestly, I don't think I've ever been this angry about a tv show. I'd be better off stepping away so my enjoyment of the first 3 seasons isn't tainted.
You know, none of us here can really affect the ratings without the almighty Nielsen box. But haven't TPTB heard that old adage about if you do something wrong to one person, you've done it to 10 people because that one person is going to keep talking about it. Or in my case, not talk about it. I know several people (casual viewers) that used to watch the show because I talked it up. Now, I'm not talking and they're not watching.
It will be interesting to see how the casual NB viewer will take the changes at the start of S4, don't you think?

i honestly think the viewership probably won't change
the antis that leave will be replaced by sg-1 fans
but as the season goes on i think the general public will see what its
become and the rating will slowly fall, but i think curiosity will give it good ratings in the beginning ...people do enjoy watching a train wreck, but after a while even that gets boring
Well there goes the speculation. I had a feeling they would do something to Elizabeth's character that changes her (but seriously, if nobody dies in sci fi how come you can make irreparable damage to a character in a show like SGA?) and probbably in a bad way. I don't want to see that because I like Elizabeth the way she is, and we all know many of her virtues. So no thank you tptb, I'll stick to what I like, and that is first 3 seasons of SGA and normal Elizabeth.
I don't thing SGA will last more than 5 seasons. Kicking out characters never is a good sign.
I have already proven myself I can watch a show for one character only (Heroes - Hiro) so I can do it again with Stargate. It won't be so bad if I should miss an episode but I can't go cold turkey. I need to take it gradually or I'll end up in pieces.
And there's fanfic to help me get through. After all, s4 is one big twisted AU-verse.

I'm going the AU route myself. Even more so now. And I kinda like the cheerleader. *runs*
Can we say? Save Weir. Save the world. Oops, wrong thread. *runs faster*
