Weir in Adrift and Lifeline (Spoilers)

[Steve_the_Wraith]

TPTB's wouldn't have referenced her situation to Ford if they weren't planning on doing the exact same stunt.

Ford's situation wasn't a stunt, it was a backdoor they could use to bring back the character if they wanted, so far it seems they don't want to

Which contradicts what JM said about Weir only being in the first half of the season, and 411 is the second half.

Mallozzi has always been very vague about what episodes Weir has been in, he's never definitively stated what episodes she is in, as far as I know

But from Mallozzi's point of view episode 11 is in the first part, since episode 10 and 11 were filmed together...

Which means the backdoor is locked.

Mmmm...then it is possible. I rest my case.

Seriously i thought it was nice and neat how they got rid of weir... how they got rid of weir was pretty cool too
i do have to agree with some you guys how the emotion was running a bit thin in the end... i mean they werent even crying and weeping about the loss of weir...

Cant wait UNTIL the actually one is released... man the Asurans ship is pretty cool
check them out!

Is it just me, or does that ship look like a pen?

Haha, I was just thinking that. And the front end looks kinda... dumb, to be honest. I thought it was a deformed jumper at first brush.

Not true. JM said that she is in 4 episodes in the first half, and that's far as it goes. He has purposely avoided answering 1). which 4 episodes they are (although we already know 3), and 2). what's happening to Weir in the second half. Of those questions we have NO answers.

[p-pos]

i have to agree with what most here has already stated it was a good send off and left the door open for her to return and with an interesting arc. it also gave me a new appreciation for the character that i didn't have before.

i also think the emotions were running high and just enough crying would have been out of place and out of character. these people have seen death come for too many and too often to break down in tears especially ronon and teyla.

Exactly which means she could return. Mabey will get this episode "Stargate Atlantis: Revenge of the Weirs".

Actually, I think we're getting that right here, right now.

Let me just say that I absolutely loved this storyline. This is the kind of story that I would have killed to see for Weir in the past. The part that's so frustrating is knowing that we're really not going to see much of it at all. Why is it that they finally prove they can do something cool with Weir as they shove her out the door?

I think this storyline for Weir has to mean she won't be around as much. If Rodney found a way to deactivate the nanites and get Weir healed, then she'd be back to the same charaacter as before, and clearly, for whatever reason TPTB had, they didn't want that, which is why Weir has been reduced in the first place, I suppose. She couldn't be in charge of Atlantis in her current state, or even be a member of the team because the IOA would deem her a security risk. I think as a recurring character, there is the potential for Torri to get her teeth into some great stuff, while also having a good arc running through the series. I do see your frustration though and sympathise

[freetoken]

IMO, the first two episodes have some of Tori's best work in the series.

Never was a big fan of the character, or of Tori's interpretation of her, but the first two episode arc are as much about her as anything.

Ah, that question begs an answer, one we'll never get

She'll be more interesting as a recurring character with a back-story than a regular character that does nothing but say good luck to people leaving through the Stargate.

Weir is not the momma any more and that is a good sign. Too bad they gave her a good part now when she got the boot .
