Anyone else miffed at how Radek's been demoted to a "barely there" character? I mean, I knew it would happen, but I'm still miffed.
Yes, yes, he's still there and makes occasional appearances and stuff, but when he actually shows up, he usually doesn't actually do anything.
Sometimes, he might actually do something important but even then his on-screen time is short and he doesn't do much. He just kinda floats by and you forget he even exists after a while.
When Radek's actually there nowadays, he's either a wall-flower, a background set piece or for a (brief) comic interactions with Rodney. And what's up with Richard (Woolsey)?
Last season, Sam came on as leader and took over the reigns and figured quite prominently. She even went off-world on her first day or so on the base and did so again a few times. She went around and did things.
Then Richard shows up to take the leadership in a new direction and is demoted to... barely there status. What gives?! I mean, there were a few episodes in there with a little actual character development but it seems he mostly just appears to be the token expedition leader to make a few decisions and stuff nowadays.
It's good to know that the PtBs have their little Mary Sues (Sam and now Jennifer) who get much more screen time and character development than other characters in the same position. It's also good to know that they're willing to demote several beloved and veteran characters to "Barely there" status to accommodate this.
So far this season, Jennifer's miraculously enough gotten more character development than Carson got during his first two or so years on Atlantis. Meanwhile, Lorne, Radek and Woolsey have all become "Barely theres", no doubt to allow for more Jennifer Keller-time.
NOTE: Unless it wasn't apparent, when I say "Barely there", I also mean that even if someone is featured semi-frequently, they don't actually get to do much, so they're barely there, anyway since when they're actually there, they're just there, kinda like token appearances.
