I want to know where all the evidence of Caldwell’s experience is. As far as I know he only became part of Stargate Command a year or so ago...or was that two.
And Weir, where does her combat experience come in? Wasn’t she anti military? Yes she was supposed to be a great peace maker..... Good job with that. Now, of course, I blame the writers for that failure and will continue to assume the character is a great negotiator as she was presented. Just as I blame the writers for the useless co-leadership issue of S9 (supposedly due to Carter taking a command position at area 51) and assume Carter is the skilled professional soldier she had always been presented as before.
She led missions as early as season 2 and has lead scientist even longer. She has been integral in the war against the goa'uld and replicators for over 8 years and helped make SG-1 the flagship team that it was. Seems qualified to me.
Again I have no background on Caldwell, just that as far as I know he was not involved in any war until about 2 years ago. For all we know during the Afghan\Iraq wars he has been sitting in a training base learning to fly the Prometheus or flying F16s or sitting behind a desk trying to work his way into a position of importance (not like we haven’t seen him try to worm his way into such a position on the show) and its not like we even know how long he was a Col or that he ever had a command before prometheus.
Again... I am not pro carter being on SGA. I will give it a try just like I was willing to give Cam a try on SG-1. If they write it as badly I will be as anti this as anyone but it is somewhat within the realm of possibility that it will turn out OK. Yes I don’t believe I said that either, but there it is.
