Not sure if that's the best thing as it would get really old fast (least for me!) but it would sure be interesting to see how it might be played out.
I'd bet the season 5 premiere will draw quite the crowd though and might even bring in SGA's season's highest ratings. Come on! Even those who might not like Woosley HAS to be curious about how he's gonna be written in and how well Sheppard and Co. will/will not take to him being in charge. Even I might watch that one.
But I'm not opinionated or anything...sigpic

I might watch it in the beginning for the Sam factor, but I have a strong feeling that it's gonna get really irritating really fast.

It's quiet in here tonight where did everyone go
New leader of Atlantis S5
Spoiler:OMG!I cant belive Woolsey is going to be the new leader of Atlantis it's like putting someone from the NID incharge ,i have to admit i'm not to fond of him especialy with what he was going to do to daniel in THE SHROUD .
My favorite Sam ,Woolsey moment is in season 9 in THE SCOURGE when she nicely tell's him to cool it i love that and THE SEER as well i love seeing Sam telling people off in a nice way
AMANDA IS NUMBER 1 !

Hey Everyone,
Originally posted by atfan View Postoh no not at all I suspect he will suprise us. I can't wait to find out what happens to Sam ie how she ends up leaving Atlantis it can't be for anything bad because then her character wouldn't be able to guest. Any thoughts on what they maybe have planned?

Let's say that Sam had been put in charge of throwing a birthday party for someone at the sgc (equality my tush, trust me, it's the women that end up doing this social stuff)
what would she do???Originally posted by Tracy Jane View PostIt depends who the party was for. I can see her having a "what the...?!?!" reaction to it all. One of those, "Put me in a room with 30 Jaffa, let me get tortured multiple times by Ba'al, blow me up and sic a supersolider on me.... but please, NOT the party hostess!"
Originally posted by rolleson View PostYounger Sam would've thrown the bigger party, to over-compensate, perhaps, because she didn't know what else to do.
Ten years later and it's a quieter affair, depending on the person.

As for SamPartyPlanner - gotta go with TJ's response. Although...for Jack...I think she'd take him fishing...just the two of them.
Originally posted by Celandine View PostOne hundred percent casual! No matter who the party would be for, I could definitely see Sam throwing a barbecue or planning some fun get together where everyone could relax and cut loose.
Originally posted by Bekah See View Postok, this is slightly off topic, but have you SEEN this?? I think I'm going to vomit!!

I would like to state before I complete this post, that I do not intend to offend anyone...writers, producers, actors or whatever...but seriously...what the heck are they doing putting Woolsey in command of Atlantis???
I mean, this guy just can not handle anything under pressure...I wonder what he put in his last report to the IOA to have them think that he was worthy of this position?
I love the actor...Robert Picardo is just gorgeous and admittedly, I even like the character of Woolsey...but not as commander...c'mon...they've just doomed that poor city!!!
Personally, I think he would have been the last person I would thought they would have seriously put in charge of Atlantis...oh well...will be very interesting to see what happens!!
Originally posted by SWMBOTGSG View PostYou are totally right. My initial reaction was "YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS!! THE MAN'S A WUSS IN THE HIGHEST DEGREE! " Lord help Atlantis City (and the Stargate Franchise).
Nothing against the actor. He's a great actor shown by the fact that he makes me feel that way about his character.

Originally posted by VastlySuperiorStuff View PostNot even the shippers want her to just run off and marry O'Neill. She does need to be doing something cool, something that uses her talents, because they've been wasted on Atlantis, IMHO.mancake and eat it too!! ( personally, I think the man thing works too!!)
Originally posted by samcarterrules View PostI agree, I think SciFi is just waiting for SGA to hit the 100 eps and then I think cancellation will soon follow, I could be wrong though

Originally posted by dmovies View PostMy first reaction was anger at how, again, they were disrespecting Amanda, then when I went to bed that night I cried. I actually cried. Time for the 7 states of grief to begin. I go between anger and sadness. Stargate has really become more painful than enteraining for me. I'll not be watching anymore.
Originally posted by RealmOfX View PostMy second response was Uh OH!! They better be writing Sam out of command with respect otherwise there will be some very unhappy campers in fandom.
*wanders off worrying a bit about how they write out Sam*
Originally posted by scifithinker View PostSpeaking of fanfic...I have spent a few sick days recently reading lots and lots of fanfic over at the Stargate Fan Awards website.
Shiaw Mei Mei calls fanfic "a magnificent obsession." I'd have to agree with her assessment. Sky probably would too."Live Peace - Speak Kindness - Dwell in Possibility"

teh very least i'm hoping for is for sam to say
Spoiler:i only signed up for a year
thus saying that she'd reached the end of her tour and was done.
there is one idea out there that is kinda growing on me. Woolsey ticks folks off at teh IOA, possibly because, sam was assigned a TDY just to cover for the IOA as they searched for a new leader. and they've been searching. but every politician that the IOA finds, woolsey negates because - unlike all of them - he's actually been there and has some idea what the city needs.
so, out of a fit of pique, the IOA says 'fine, you do it' and he's assigned there...quite against his will. and knows that he's being set up to fail, but there's nothing he can do about it.
I can see sam's last words to him 'don't get everyone killed' as she goes home, knowing that she's leaving a train wreck behind but there's nothing she can do about it.

My suspicion is that they want to use Woolsey as a point of conflict in Atlantis (which could be okay), but their desire for laughs will turn him into the comic relief (which will become tiresome very fast). ETA: I just see this as a harbinger of their return to comedy scripts ala season 9 and 10 of SG-1. Vala pulling out a hairdryer... What ridiculous things will they have Woolsey doing? His very name speaks to his incompetence.

that is my greatest fear. that they will take the 'easy way' out and make woolsey the butt of every joke, especially if it accentuates 'shep, the roguish hewo flauting his worthles boss'.
I don't want to see mutiny on the bounty 'the musical'
when it comes to high drama, woolsey freezes. Every single time he's been confronted with death, he freaks out. not quite who i'd trust with the codes to teh self destruct
I know folks have brought up rodney and how he was a coward..and yeah, he was. thing is, he was never teh boss. He was a follower, so his screams of fear were more tolerable cause shep would just tell him to shut up.

A vintage Major Matt Mason doll! (Complete with backpack ) And Doctor-Captain Sam who was so excited by everything. Oh, the good old days....lol
Speaking of which, though I really hate flashback/clip shows, the romantic in me would enjoy watching Sam packing up her personal things in her office as she prepares to step down and reminiscing about her early days with the SG...the people she'd met that made a big difference in her life, past missions where she wasnt sure she'd ever even make it back, etc...that sort of thing. We all have to agree that she has matured lots since S1 and flipping through the best parts fondly would be a great way imo to say goodbye to someone we all love.
