The Anti Season 4 Thread (Spoilers). For complaints and misgivings ONLY.
TPTB are horrible at writing relationships. The very first thing they did in SG-1 was kill off Daniel's wife--who was a major role in the movie. It was like--heaven forbid we have a stable relationship in stargate. (Never mind the movie was based on relationships)
The shippy plot devices the writers use in SGA and SG-1 are just plot devices and nothing else.
The only character in SGA who actually seems to have a relationship of some sort with everyone in the show is Rodney. He's developed beyond Urkel. Come to think of it--he's SGA's Urkle.
What worked for SGA was four characters...Shep, mcKay, Beckett and Weir. I always saw Ronin and Tyla as secondary characters to those four.
Would it have been so hard to keep Beckett and Weir and still have a good script?
Yes it would have been hard for these guys... and I think my signature will get an addition. A plot device is a plot device is a plot device.
I'm Anti because TPTB have ZERO respect for SGA, its characters and its fans. Atlantis only purpose now is to remind viewers SG-1 is not dead (even if it is).

I'm also Anti because I know TPTB won't hesitate for a split second to replace more SGA characters with their SG-1 counterparts if they think such move will further enhance the possibility of more SG-1 movies.
