Even though I could see a character like Sam work well in the Atlantis setting, seeing as she is a unique combination of soldier, scientist, and woman, I just don't think it would work well with the characters that are already there. Chances are that at least one of the Atlantis characters would be sacrificed. And while Sam is the one I enjoy the most out of both shows, it just wouldn't be fair. Not to the show, not to the characters, and especially not to the Atlantis cast.
I also agree with Spazzie's skepticism that TPTB probably would not be able to handle it very well to integrate a new character. We've seen it before, unfortunately...
I am afraid, if TPTB offer Amanda a spot on Atlantis it's only to "use" her to get more people to watch Atlantis. And frankly, I think Amanda has done enough and more than she needed to for this franchise and she wasn't always treated the way she deserved.
Of course, I wouldn't mind a guest appearance by AT from time to time, if that is what she would want herself.
As much as I am saddened by the news, I think it's a great opportunity for Amanda to get out and try something new. She looked so excited when she told us about her "secret project" at Shore Leave, you could actually see that sparkle in her eyes.
AT does have the ability to make it out there if she chooses to do so. And there are lot of people who will support her, I am sure.
So, more power to you, Amanda, whatever you decide to do. The only thing that matters is to enjoy life and feel good about yourself!!!
