*raising hand* I never posted at all before the cast changes. I've lurked, pretty casually, around here for a couple of years, mostly sticking to the home page and the news, popping in here occasionally to see what people's opinions were on one thing or another, but not dedicated to it. But I bought all the season sets as soon as they came out, and very actively chased spoilers, so I don't know that I could exactly be called a "casual" viewer.
The news that Carter was going to be in 14 episodes, and Weir was going to recurring, was a major major blow, and was what prompted me to break my lurking silence. I'm trying to remember back....I think I knew about Carson before that, or at least had a pretty good idea. It was all kind of a build up....several months with one piece of bad news after another, starting with the SG1 cancellation. I actually wasn't that unhappy with that, although I did wish they'd given it a year to wrap up its storyline. But then... it was just more and more bad news, and when I found out Carter was coming over for 14 eps and the strong implication was that she was replacing Weir, which we now know to be actually the case.... Well, that was just kind of my breaking point.
