What the hell!?

Don't click the link if you don't want to know. Sorry if the pre-cut version pissed anyone off!



What the hell are the Stargate Atlantis people smoking? You have GOT to be kidding me:

Actor Robert Picardo will join the cast as Richard Woolsey assumes command of the Atlantis expedition. Says the press release: "The team, led by Lt. Colonel Sheppard (Joe Flanigan), Dr. Rodney McKay (David Hewlett), Teyla (Rachel Luttrell), Ronon (Jason Momoa) and Dr. Jennifer Keller (Jewel Staite), must adjust to his unique leadership style."

From GateWorld.

Weh??? His "unique leadership style" means that foxmonkey has left the building for season five.

SG-1 and Atlantis storylines that dealt with red tape and bureaucratic issues have NEVER ranked highly with me, and now it looks like that's what we're going to get on a weekly basis. OH MY GOD, STARGATE IS ABOUT TO BE DED. I could kick somebody.

The only bright spot I can see here is that Woolsey will finally get a taste of what it feels like to be on the other side of the IOA microscope. Other than that, I don't see a lot of good here. What the hell do I care about bureaucrats and all that idiocy? Like there isn't enough of it in the real world? When I watch a show about outer space, I want to see new races and space exploration and Atlantis FINALLY finding enough blasted ZPMs so I never again have to hear them whining about having to find a new one.

I am not a happy fangirl. ;-p

That's been around for a while.

Along with my rage, I had a feeling I was probably the last to know, so an LJ cut didn't even cross my mind! Anyhoo.

I have great fear that he's going to make things a little awkward and embarrassing at first and that always makes me uncomfortable.

I just have no love for the character, though I will admit he's grown since he first appeared on the show. Still...DO NOT WANT.


I'm hoping that Rodney(and)John vs Woolsey will be cute and adorkable ftw.

I'm just tired of that whole "Stargate Program vs. Earth-basedfillintheblank" thing. I know there'd be an incredible amount of bureaucratic crapola involved in a multinational off-planet expedition, but I don't necessarily want to see *that* portion of their reality on my TV screen. If there's any "us vs." going on, I want it to be something not!earth-based.


It might not be so bad... *hopes not to have to eat those words*

LOL! I hope you're right. I hope the writers surprise me and roll out a ton of fresh ideas for the show (and Woolsey) that will make me squeal with glee.

Also, I'm pleased that Dr. Daniel Jackson will make an appearance (yay!) but sad that we'll only see him in two episodes (wah!). Still. Daniel on Atlantis. Now, if he brings his boyfriend good friend Cam along for the ride, so much the better. ;-)

I'm very interested in the politics, but I've always wanted another cut-off-from-Earth season. I liked it when it was just a tiny outpost against the entire Pegasus Galaxy. Just in case you couldn't guess, Voyager was my favorite ST franchise.

ROFL! Okay, your icon is killing me. ;-)

That would be *wonderful*. Too bad it didn't happen when they had to ditch the original planet. ::le sigh::
