What character should go?

[stclare]

who the hell is Larrin anyway?

Space babe captain, dominatrix type with a kink for rope and was in 2 eps in season 4.

[Infinatus]

Jill Wagner.

Ford was the only person that I didn't have any issues with leaving the show. Larrin really doesn't play THAT huge of role in the series... I don't thin it'll affect the show if the writers don't touch up on her again.

Yeah, they won't. Anyway, the one I'd vote for already left. Maybe there should be a "What character should be brought back?" thread.

[shipper hannah]

I voted Larrin. She's a very minor character (and she's rubbish).
I wouldn't mind Carter replacing Woolsey, but that's likely not going to happen. To be fair, he hasn't been in it long so I'm going to give him more of a chance.
I like Keller, I'm surprised at the negative responses to her. I don't see what's irritating about her, she's harmless.

[PuddleJumper42]

I picked Keller, because while I like the character, I don't like her as much as the other characters on the list and I'm not liking where the writers have been taking her lately. (Especially romantically.)

I didn't pick Larrin because she's not in the main cast (or even really recurring) so there's no real point to have her up there in the first place because odds are we won't see her again anyway.

How has Keller over taken Larrin as the character you most want gone? aside from the fact that Larrin isn't likely to ever be back now.

The nomination for Jewel for the ep missing was the final straw for me when it was supposed to be a Teyla ep!

It is a Teyla ep. I don't see how you can hold studio politics again a character and IMO Jewel was great in 'Missing', whether her performance made you hate Keller more or understand her position and sympathise that she was out of her element, JS really gave dynamic to the character.

[BallparkFranks7]

i really don't understand why people don't like Keller. She might not be the best actress ever, but she brings a lot to the show. [mod snip]

I don't think I'd like to see any of the major cast gone. I selected "other" because if my opinion would matter, I'd prefer to see Kanaan gone, so that Teyla could start a relationship with Shep. Kanaan brings nothing to the show what-so-ever, and a relationship between Teyla and, well really any cast member would bring more to the development of the show.

personally i'd pick ronan dex, he's such a cliche and uninteresting character. Even his NAME is uninteresting! are you serious?! ronan dex? sounds like a action hero from a cartoon.

So if it's a Teyla ep why didn't Rachel get nominated instead of a recurring character at the time!

I'm a little sick of Rachel/Teyla getting constantly ignored....And now Keller is here it's got worse for Teyla....What should have been great character moments in the shrine got taken over by Keller and McKeller!

Instead of bringing in new characters and spending all their time on them they should have spent some much needed time developing the characters they've already got i.e. Ronon and Teyla....Now their practically non existent!

I'd be interested to know too how JS was nominated / chosen out of all the SGA cast to be honest but without a reliable source it's not worth speculating on (plus I don't think it would be all that respectful).

I'd like to see more Teyla in the show and I know what you mean about her being ignored but the way I see this there's more to it it than 'Keller is TPTB's golden girl' why she got the nomination.

Not sure why McKay has to be written love interests but up till now I haven't been too bothered by it, that could change if it dominates stories any my enjoyment of the ep/s goes down but I can't see 'McKeller' being anything more than a secondary arc with some scenes spanning a few eps.

What comes out of JM's blog or the spoilers very rarely give a good impression of how things will turn out IMO, just some plot details and what will / could take place in the episodes.

To be fair TPTB had to bring in someone to take over as CMO, they got JS and wrote in Dr Keller, I've yet to see anyone mention the possibility that Beckett may have been taking screen time from other characters but then a character only has the screen time the writers write them in for, as I've said before I would like to see Teyla and Ronon step up and be counted more often, 'Daedalus Variations' showed that TPTB can develop them a bit to give them something to do in a situation where they would probably have been useless, I'm hopeful that will be the case more in S5.

I'm curious about something....Wasn't one of the reasons for getting rid of Carson in the first place because once they made him recurring they didn't know what to do with him? And that we were trying to write him into eps where her wasn't needed?

And if the wanted another CMO they should have made her like what they done with Janet Frazier.....She only came into eps when she needed to be there,they didn't force the issue by writing her into eps where there was no need for her.....That's what they should have done with Keller...Kept her recurring like how they done with Janet!

Encouraging people to hate you more is an accomplishment if you're playing a villain, but Missing was intended to make people like Keller. I'd say everyone missed the mark on that one.

I don't see JS bringing any great dynamic to the character. Any actress from a teen horror flick could have accomplished the same IMO. Screaming, crying, spraining her ankle and finally pulling herself together at the very end. The only thing unique she brought to the role is that I usually don't find myself rooting for the monster.
