Season 5 Cast speculation

[Crichiel]

Dr. Jennifer Keller (4-6 episode) - SAG strike

I thought Jewel Staite was Canadian too, Would a strike affect her?

[stevearm07]

As long as they don't bring Weir back. <snip>

When do we find out what the cast is supposed to be so we can end the speculation?

Hmm good question. I hope soon.

[majorsal]

i'm not going to do speculation (because i'm lost), but wishful thinking:

sheppard (all)
sam (all, but prob 16+)
mckay (all)
teyla (all)
ronon (all)


reoccurring-
keller (10 eps)
zelenka (8 eps)
todd
weir (1-3 eps)
beckett (1-3 eps)

guest stars-
jack (2 eps)
mitchell (1 ep)
*vala, but only 1 ep and a wild affair with mckay*
jeanie (1-2 eps)
janet fraiser (1 ep)



~i need to know if sam's coming back!!!~

I think pretty much how things are in s4, plus Daniel for 1-2, minus Teal'c (remember too much SG-1, which many people hate). Hopes for FRAN and I want more Zelenka!

Ideally I would like Carter to have more involvement in SGA but I think it will stay the way it is now, probably because of her contract. Holding my breath for confirmation of her return.

Oh I'm not going to kid myself, I can't see myself watching regularly if Carter isn't back season 5. I hardly have enough push to watch non-carter episodes now. I take my time getting to them, but I like knowing for plot what happens.
Sorry.

I feel the same way. No Carter, no Season 5 for me. I'm an SG-1 fan at heart. Although maybe the rest of the season will change my mind, we'll see.

It's hard to answer this. I'm not sure what's going to happen. I have some hunches, but they often don't turn out like I think they're going to.

And it's hard to really know what I would ideally like. Ideally, I would prefer that we never would have had the cast shakeup in the first place. But now that we've done it, I can't completely get behind the idea of a total reset, either. Things have happened and people have changed. I'm not sure how the best way to handle that is.


Here's a tentative wishful thinking list (subject to change):

Full time (assumes 20 episodes more or less):
Sheppard
McKay
Teyla
Ronon


Recurring:
Carter *I think Carter should either be full-time but in a background role like Hammond and Landry, or else be recurring and appear only about 10-12 episodes a season if she's playing a more significant role*
Beckett (10-12 episodes)
Weir (10-12 episodes)
Zelenka (10-12 episodes)
Lorne (10-12 episodes)
FRAN! (10 episodes) *hey, as long as we're dreaming!*
Keller (4-6 episodes)
Kanan (5-6 episodes) *yes, I know we haven't even met the guy yet. I just like the idea of Teyla having someone that we see now and then. I may change my mind once I meet him though*
Todd (4-6 episodes)
Chuck - whenever needed
"Chuckita" - same as above

Guest:
Daniel (1-2 episodes)
Ford (1-2 episodes) *to wrap up his storyline*
Larrin (2-3 episodes)
Kolya (2-3 episodes)
Jeannie (1 episode)
Vala (1 episode) *Yes, I know it's not happening. I so badly want an Sheppard, Vala, and McKay episode, but I know I'll never get it.*
Mitchell *Possibly, not sure if I want that or not. Last time Mitchell was in Atlantis, I considered it a disaster. No more than one episode at most though.*
Janet Fraiser (1 episode) *I like that idea!*

[SG13-NightOps]

My hopes would be

Regulars: Shep, McKay, Ronon, Teyla and Carter.

Recurring: Keller, Carson, Lorne, Zalenka, Todd, Caldwall and the other usual suspects.

Guests: Weir, Action Jackson, O'Neill (With 2 L's) and Jeannie.

Surprises - Hermiod! (I miss the little guy ) and Ba'al.

Oh, and Nancy Shep MINUS 1 episode. We can do the whole "it was a bad dream and she really wasnt Kari Whatsit" sequence. (Is not a Kari fan... at all.)

[ellymelly]

i second the ba'al!

[Killdeer]

I hoped we might know by now.


Do you all still think we will find out this week?

Nope, week ends today ... or tomorrow for those who are still on thursday.

[jelgate]

[Jumper_One]
