Season Five: Who's Next?

[jelgate]

How else will Jelgate's 4th law come to pass if it doesn't?

And I thought you forgot. I'm telling you, I fear Atlantis Marine #3 is going to die this season.

[Falcon Horus]

And I thought you forgot.

Never.

Personally, I'd like for the new Captain Vega to be introduced and developed soley for the purpose of killing her off at the end of the season.

She's female so it's likely, the current PTB seem to like killing the female characters, literally (Heightmeyer, Weir) or figuratively (Carter).

[PG15]

Carter's leaving because Tapping wanted to.

I meant how they wrote her character

[PG15]

No need for the rolling of eyes, thank you very much. Maybe you should've made it clearer, or don't put her with those that has been taken off the show.

Um and last time I checked Weir looked pretty much alive to me.

[Ice Wolf]

Yeah but depending on the producer you ask aparently she (Original Weir) is dead and GITM looks like it will kind of finish the job.

Which I still stand by what I said. If the actress said yes, I think it would of left her character open for a very interesting story arc. Season 6 looks promising because of the recent numbers, so who knows, they could of brought Weir back for S6 for some recurring eps.

Spoiler:

BTW, if Weir Ascended, like it seems to be the direction, that is not death, far from it.

[Pajus]

Yes, it was very exciting. [/sarcasm] Umm, there was the injection that Michael gave - that could have hurt the baby.

That's not it...

I doubt it. Michael wanted the baby alive.

C'mon, PG15! This is easy! You can do it! You can find the thing that would give Darth Tagaan the kill-off

Message to Reiko: Okay, I'll write Trio, but it will take time. Until then, you'll have to survive, imagining implosive compression affecting Keller in Adrift

[PG15]

No, it's not easy! Is it at least physical trauma? Or perhaps you're wrong and there isn't such a situation?

[Pajus]

Spoiler:

Yes, it is a physical trauma. Little hint: Rewatch S2 ep. Duet

[PG15]

Oh, you mean the part where she's "beamed up" by the dart?

I don't see the problem with that. The Wraith would not want to mess up their food and kill it; the dart in Duet was damaged, that's all. No wonder I never understood your problem with this. There were none.

And please, stop playing games. Just spell it out and end it. Geez.

And for that matter, BAMSR doesn't really count either. We don't know what effects stunners (I'm assuming you were talking about that) have on babies, so you can't judge either way.

And you keep telling me that I have no imagination... C'mon, you're better than this!

Spoiler:

We both know that the transport beam gives the victim a stunning jolt. The body of a 7 months pregnant woman has a very special way of reacting to such traumas: It triggers a premature childbirth. Even with immediate and top-notch medical care, the kid would have a hard time surviving (first hand experience). With the mommy being stunned (eg unable to yell for help + her body would lose the ability to properly control the process of childbirth) and without a doctor, who has experience with such things... no way for that little guy to survive

And for that matter, BAMSR doesn't really count either. We don't know what effects stunners (I'm assuming you were talking about that) have on babies, so you can't judge either way.

Spoiler:

We both know that stunners cause convulsions, paralysis and pain to the victim (by observing those, who have been hit in the past)... This means that whatever energy is being used, it has to spread through the body and cause a neural congestion (to a full-grown adult) - and I know exactly, how much energy is needed to do so. I took the liberty of taking the firing angles of the Wraith shooting up the jumper. Teyla was hit twice in that scene: The first hit went into her right shoulder. The child might have been harmed, but I doubt it would have a lasting effect. The second hit went into Teyla's lower stomach. No matter how the energy spreads through Teyla's body, it would have to go right through the kid. With that kind of energy, the term 'deep fried' was a very accurate description of what happened to the neural pathways forcing the kid's heart into beating...
