To the people who said Keller was too young.

I hope her and Ronon pursue the attraction they felt in this episode. As soon as Ronon came into the infirmary with "another sparring injury" I had a Shawn Spencer like flash of "He likes her. He's letting himself get tagged on purpose so she can sew him up."
I don't blame him. Jewel Staite's a cutie and Dr. Keller is as well."There's not a little boy born who wouldn't tear the world apart to save his mummy... and this little boy can." --The Doctor.
"The plastic tips at the ends of shoelaces are called Aglets. Their true purpose is sinister."--The Question.
BAD WOLF!!!

Sure she's a medical prodigy, but she's embarrassingly green when it comes to difficult situations and military knowledge. Thank goodness she squeezed through before the military got its mitts on Atlantis - she would never have made the cut after that.

If the military is truly in charge of Atlantis now, then they should be even more stringent on who's allowed to come over or even stay in charge. However TPTB appear to have thrown military regulations to the wind in the past few years of the franchise, so I doubt that will ever come up.
Originally posted by Avenger View PostThat could be said for nearly all the civilian personnel. You think Katie Brown would hold up in the same situation? Or many of the other scientists that we've seen? Rodney still freaks out when Sheppard isn't there to keep him from losing it. Is it time to lose all the civilians in favor of military personnel who can handle the rigors of the assignment?
Rodney's case is slightly different, as he's the foremost scientific expert and is often useful when first encountering new technologies and the like offworld. Plus, he's saved the team's ass offworld more often than anyone else. I'm sick of his whining and hysterias myself - TPTB can tone that down any day now.

Atlantis was touted as a civilian expedition from the start. They need the civilians for all the research they are doing. It would not be possible for it to be a strictly military operation. In that light, it is necessary that there be civilians who aren't hardasses in the field. Just like military personnel have their share of weaknesses, so to the civilians.I'm not an actor.

There's a lot of things you can't learn just from reading about it.

The "experience" arguement is kinda weak for a couple of reasons.
1. I don't care how old a doctor is or how much experience he has on Earth... they're not on Earth, they're on Atlantis. They're not even in our Galaxy.
2. The Atlantis expedition is turning into the Atlantis settlement. You want somebody who's gonna be there for a long time. Not just somebody who's gonna be there for a while then retire and have to bring in somebody new all over again. (keep in mind that Earth experience doesn't mean as much on Atlantis)
3. Carson wasn't exactly a grandfather when he came to Atlantis.

Learning how to deal with "people" takes years of experience. She remains a whiny amateur.
