I can see them adding Teyla because at the time the Atlantis team needed as many people as possible because they were short staffed. But in Ronon's case it was just like "He's tough and I need a team member. Wanna Join?"

I dont really mind adding Ronon as much as many of u guys... They were in a new galaxy, his race was wiped out, he was a runner and very good at getting away from wraith. It was a little sudden for him to get accepted as part of the team, but i suppose thats because they needed to trust each other in a whole new galaxy. Atlantis was also self maintained, meaning majority of the time, the base controlled itself, didnt need permission from external sources like SG1.

Im pretty sure this is going to happen from the track record. There has always been an "alien" part of the team. Teal'c, Jonas, Ronan, Teyla, and in my opinion, they have been very vital parts of each show. Do you guys SGU will continue this trend? Do you think they would think about making a NONHUMAN character that alien character which is part of the team, or would that take away 2 much budget away?
Just wondering , really excited about SGU, cant wait to see the female casts of the show, hopefully those are announced soon.
post away...
But you'll never know!

Unless the writers can guarantee another teal'c like character ( in the sense of development) then no way.Check out my music on Youtube and iCompositions.com

Teyla would have been added because she acted like a diplomat and had connections with other races which was needed in season 1 (Underground is a good example, although it went wrong..)
Ronon replaced Ford, and brought superior fighting skills and was ex-military.
I don't see a problem with either.
What I didn't like was Teyla being given command of Atlantis etc. It's an Earth expedition, as if they would give a non Earth based member of personnel command.
I guess you could sort of link this with a coalition between two political parties.
The leader is the leader of the biggest party, and the deputy leader is the leader of the other party.

The thing about all the alien characters in SG is they have been very human. Teal'c had different physiology but still looked human, the rest were basically humans.
So if they do introduce an 'alien' team member, I don't think they will be very nonhuman alien.

ok Teyla and Ronon had different circumstances than Teal'c and Jonas. SGC was closely run by the US government and the USAF. Atlantis was an Earth expedition run by non military IOA personal, plus Atlantis staff were from all over Earth and more likely to accept someone from a different culture.... they are all human anyway.
I bet the "alien" character will be an android or replicator created by the ancients to maintain the Destiny and will already be on the ship and it will cause drama and also help translate for the team and eventually become accepted after many trails.

I tend to side with Sergeant Bates and think that, (Teal'c excluded), aliens have no place being part of an SG team. Particularly when we consider that you can only join the US military if you're a US citizen. Letting a citizen of another bloody planet be part of an Earth military team? Hells no.
>you can only join the US military if you're a US citizen
completely false.
No personal offence,
but your statement is a bit of insult to those immigrant sodiers, who are serving in Iraq and Afgans...and sometimes sacrifcing their lives.
(and what they get after serving is a Green Card, not citizenship...though they can get one later...)
There were a lot of immigrant soldiers in the US army during Civil War...
and during 19 century, it was rare but not unprecidented a military attaché fighting along with the unit he was "attached..."
I just thought...you know, you should know there ARE soldiers who are not the US citizens who still fight in the Army, and some of whom died in Iraq and Afgan...

I mean now, not after spending 10 years living in America.
If you are, then I will stand corrected.

Originally posted by jelgate View PostWell it takes about 8 years to become a US citizen. What I gather from reading the USAF FAQ is you can join the US military if you have the legal documentation to prove you are a legal immigrant.
Jenks; Regarding the British military, the situation is as follows, and this is one that I can definitely comment without question on:
Originally posted by Application Form Informational And Guidance Booklet For Service In Her Majesty's Armed Forces - AFCO Form 5 May 2004For Entry into the Armed Forces you must meet the following nationality conditions:
