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

[Pajus]

Only if you want to be mocked.

He has a way of being funny about things everyone else takes seriously. And SGA characters look accordingly in S4

[Anuna]

Pretty scary, actually. I guess I'm a good actress. Torri is a real class act, isn't she?

You're scary? Naah, i don't believe that. But Torri really has class and while her reply was respectful and dignified ... one can easily read between the lines. And that's the precise issue that bugs me. She practically said that PTB consider AT more worthy than her. I'm pissed. pissed pissed pissed.

Money, it would have cost them more to settle Amanda Tapping's contract

That's not actually the case - TPTB didn't have to keep AT on for the remaining years of her contract (or pay her some kind of settlement if they chose not to use her, as has been suggested at various times); they had an option on her contract to use her if they chose to, and they chose to.

While I'm here, something more topical.. what would you say is your least favourite episode of Season 4 so far and why?

Mine is probably Missing... although it wasn't awful, it's the only one I've yet to bother rewatching. I know a lot of people had issues with Keller in this episode but her reactions didn't bother me too much and I felt they were in character for her character (if that makes any sense) but I simply found that Teyla and Keller alone were really not enough to hold my interest. I enjoy Teyla as part of the team but on her own... or with just Keller... I'm afraid I found her a little... *meh*.

It depends on how you ask the question. You mock him, he'll mock you back. I've never seen him be anything but respectful to those that are respectful to him when asking questions.

So, i'm still here, hmmm okay people, time to kick me out.

[Celcool]

Might be a good question for Joe Mallozzi's blog

Not sure I wanna visit that blog anytime soon, unless I feel like punishing myself for something, not an option atm. Someone else can do it. lol And Killdeer is right.

[Pajus]

Exactly. He would never answer that with anything that isn't mockery.

Too bad I can't sic HK-47 on him. He would teach JM the true meaning of the word 'mockery'

Personally I think Torri did a lot of wonderful work with what TPTBs wrote for her and It's a shame her character got screwed like this. The life of an actor is the one of great uncertainty and most of them have to take whatever jobs they can get, but I wouldn't wonder if Torri refused to be in S5 should TPTBs approach her

We had that discussion 10 hours ago, but why not. Doppelganger, Lifeline (I think I even showed you where TPTBs got the idea for the Asuran warship design) and Travellers (should be renamed to Travesty)

Of course, it was their grand plan to improve the ratings, why else would she be promoting all of the episodes and take Torri's place on the opening credits in the very first episode? Hmmm, the change and the way it was done was just a little too obvious. To me it's a pretty clear message about who's important and who's dispensable. That bothers me.

But we know how well the ratings - plan worked. Not even Carter can save them.

Amen to that. A travesty it is.

Are we back to the worst episodes? I still say Adrift and Travelers for the same reasons as I stated before (and can be read in my review of the first half of S4).

[Reefgirl]

Ooorah! Semper Fi.

What is that all about? Is it a famous battle or something?

[Pajus]

I think it's short for 'Semper fidelis' and it means something like 'Always loyal'. And I think it's the motto of the USMC

If you read JM's blog, you know that upsetting the fandom is a hobby of his.

Oh yes, I know, one of the reasons I "like" him so much. lol

Torri is a class act, agreed. She's still as gracefull and respectful as she's always been, even after how they treated her and what she believes is the reason they got rid of her. *bows* Also, JM could learn a thing or two from her, for example how fans are supposed to be treated.

Ah right, thanks

We moved on Greg. The ladies are arguing about Shep's hair in the wrong place .

[Gregorius]

There is nothing to argue about The Hair. It's perfect, it can survive any weather and any condition known to the universe. It's indestructable.

I wish I had that hair gel.

And now on the more anti note, who here is happy to see Michael back?
