Is Weir the new Quinn?

[jelgate]

hm maybe but I still prefer Hammond

Of course you do. It the curse of the fandom.

[the fifth man]

I found them to be very similiar.

Hammond and Landry were similar, in that both are great leaders. However, they each had their own styles.

I don't remember him being "shunned' either. I do recall that he had a 2 year contract that tptb bought out to bring back Daniel. CN did come back for an ep or maybe two in season 7...one ep he even wrote.

I think CN mentioned at a convention he would go back for an ep or 2 if asked and tptb said they didn't have plans to bring back jonas. CN has since gone on.

Agreed.

IMO woosley is a carbon copy of Rodney. Do you really want Rodney running the city?

I don't see it Rodney is a scientist Woolsey is a politician. Their only similarity would be they are both civilians but both have been around the military extensively. I guess some people think both are wimps but while Rodney might have been at first I don't think it holds true now. Give Woolsey a chance he has had some close calls lately and they are bound to have affected him plus he has a long history with the SGC and has protected them in his own way in the past.

No. Ford is the new Quinn while Weir is the new Sara Tancredi.

All this Russian roulette monkey business with the cast should come back and bite them in the ass just as it’s doing now. I gather that we are supposed to be mad at Torri Higginson now? Poppycock, I say good on her…self respect RULES!!!

Where the heck did you gather THAT from?!

I think Argosy meant that, since it was her decision to leave even though tptb offered her some bit part/breadcrumb for season 5, it's really her fault we have no more Weir or Weiricator or Weiriclone or whatever. If Tori thought she wasn't getting a fair shake and didn't like what they wanted to do with her character, she has every right to say no, and fans of her, Weir and self respect should applaud that decision. It's the same situation Weir faced with the IOA in First Strike, being fed up with bad treatment and standing up for herself... or preparing to before getting blasted. Talk about writers writing what they know. I've liked Tori since seeing her in a CityTV show called Deep in the City back in 2001. If they want to screw the character over, sure, go ahead. The actress doesn't have to be involved in said screwing.

As for Quinn, I was sad to see Daniel go but it was nice to have a nice pair of eyes and a new perspective on Earth and the SGC. All that and his underdeveloped obviously Ancient abilities made me sad to see him go. With Daniel back, Jonas would have been a fifth wheel. As for how the producers treated Nemec, I have no idea. The character, however, really should have been made recurring and not relegated to off-screen producer blog-revealed involvement in resisting the Ori on his planet. Funny, when they wrote him out they also wrote out naquadriah, didn't they?

[Hyperspace]

I really wished that Jonas was brought over to Atlantis, It thought it was opportune when they launched the show.

In some ways, Weir is the new Quinn, both main cast members and then gone to guest star slots.

[nx01a]

And then gone forever...

[Professor Chaos]

I'm confused, did we actually like Jonas? I know as far as I can remember, I hated him.

I didn't like Weir so much either. I think everybody is forgetting just how damned arrogant she was and blindly waving their pro-Weir signs. Her arrogance surpassed even the Ancients and I despised her.

Good riddance to both of them.

[Vaniel4evah!]

With the news of Torri Higginson's decision to leave Stargate forever, i was
wondering will Elizabeth Weir became the new Jonas Quinn of Atlantis.
A well written character "kick" of the show because they had "trouble" with the producers and never to be heard from again?

Although i think i'll not miss Torri's Elizabeth Weir as much as i miss Corin's Jonas Quinn.

Does anyone thinks the same way?

No. If anything, Carter was Atlantis's Jonas Quinn, a character brought in mid-way through the show's run to replace an original character, but, despite TPTB's forcing them down our throats and insisting that they're the greatest thing since sliced bread, failing miserably.

[MechaThor]

"Is Weir the new Quinn?"

She is more like the new Ford, Quinn was always a filler character, But like Ford Weir just got phased out!

In your opinion -- in my opinion Carter did very well on SGA. The other difference is that TPTB wanted Carter back full time in season 5, while they did not want Jonas back full time in season 7.

I wouldn't use the phrase "failing miserably"

How did you come to that conclusion?
