The Anti Season 4 Thread (Spoilers). For complaints and misgivings ONLY.

Jonas Quinn, an alien who replaced ascended Daniel Jackson in season 6. Great guy and I loved him, too bad they dumped him. (I see a pattern here)

Yeah, they like ditching popular characters, it seems.

Or, alternatively, they just don't have a clue in what direction the show should be heading and thus are randomly selecting characters to kill off in the hope it would give them a good story (line) and boost the ratings.

Also known as the headless chicken syndrome.

Headless chicken syndrome indeed , but I still think they select popular characters to get rid of. Well, it would explain (in my view) why Teyla is still a regular and Ford/Beckett/Weir no. IMHO, they ditch popular characters they think they can get away with, but they clearly crossed the line now.

Teyla's still around because TPTB like to have ship and with regards to that I would like to note that next season you can expect the following ships:
Sheppard & Teyla
McKay & Carter
And the episodes will probably go like this:
Sheppard meets/makes an enemy, gets into trouble. Teyla will worry or be invisible and Ronon will shoot and shout. McKay tries to save the day and fails, but just as all seems lost wonder woman back in Atlantis will make a remark and help McKay say the day.

I'm glad I are not watching

LOL! The "new and improved" SGA formula:

*g* The Producers should be scared of all of you;-) I have the feeling (since Sunday) that Atlantis is going to a direction I just don't like. I had a similiar feeling when they killed Daniel and replaced him with Jonas (no offence, I like the actor but the situation was ... well.. stupid to say it nicely)...

The producers take a character who isn't important and make him/her important. Like Teyla, I mean she's boring, has no clue about science, she basically just looks pretty and can fight. But important characters that have substance like Carson or Elizabeth get killed or replaced. To me, it's the "Daniel Jackson Syndrom"- too intellectial for the average viewer, so let's replace him with a pretty character.

Just my P.O.V.- Oh dear that really sounds anti-season 4 *lol*

LOL. Wouldn't it be great if someone (not me, never figured out how) could photoshop Carter's face on this pic. That would be priceless.

Well, Shanks wasn't booted (if I'm not mistaken). In fact, that's why I liked the Jonas character. Other than that, I totally agree with you.

Heh, I wish I had the skills, but I'm just a Photoshop padawan too.

[Gregorius]

Shanks left at the end of season 5 because he thought he reached the end of the line with his character, they character was being written in a way and a direction Shanks felt wasn't "natural" for the character.

So he was written out and Jonas Quinn written in properly. Sadly, after season 6, for whatever reason the TPTB decided to write Jonas out and bring back Daniel.

Don't tempt the artist. I'll see what I can do about that.

You're right, it seems they are ditching all the smart characters. They require too much of clever writing and they're not capable of that, as it seems.

[Falcon Horus]

Quinn could have been a fine addition to the team and to Atlantis in general. SGA's Jackson, you know.

Absolutely. Imagine Jonas on Atlantis. He'd be so happy, as would I.
