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

You know, that's a really huge spoiler. Would you maybe consider to use a cut? That would be nice.

That's been around for a while. People are going to have to work pretty hard not to know by the time Season 5 rolls around.

I love Robert Picardo on a level that is probably not healthy considering that he's not a demon hunter, savior of the human race, space pirate, or flyboy, so I'm a little excited that I'll see more of him. However, 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'm hoping that Rodney(and)John vs Woolsey will be cute and adorkable ftw.

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

Hm. I like Woolsey, but not in every freakin' episode. Ugh. When I'd initially heard that Amanda wasn't returning (which sucks, because I just adore her, but I'm happy for her getting her own series), my biggest dream was that they'd somehow get Shanks to come aboard.

It still stings that the one person who searched for Atlantis more than anyone has barely even visited. :(

Or maybe I just miss my Daniel. *sniff*

I hear what you're saying and I'm here to offer some cheer:

1. Woolsey will have to use his red-tape-fu to deal with real Pegasus disasters. Should be fun.
2. Woolsey will be in it about as much as Carter or Wier, which is to say not that much.

I must be behind the times. What happened to Samantha Carter?
