You know, I thought about this the other day and came to the conclusion (and not an easy conclusion for me, being a big fan of Weir).. The conclusion? I'd rather Weir died in John's arms with him attempting to shake some life into her lifeless body, angstily lamenting her death. Hell, they gave Beckett a better finale. Anyway, that's what I'd rather see at this point.
Hee. I've always had a fondness on the concepts of courtly love in medieval literature, and the whole Sheppard/Weir alignment fits to a tee. To be honest, some of the speculation about her fate (I don't want to say too much here, as I don't want to spill too much for those who are trying to stay spoiler-free), sound very intriquing for an angsty/debt of honor obsession to be gripping Shep over the season. From a storytelling standpoint, it is far more fun to play happy fun taunt/emotional whump if the characters are being taunted with hope for a character who's still alive. And Joe's comments give me the impression that he's sees the potential in that kind of scenario.
Interesting idea that there might be room for both Carter and Weir.. hmm.. maaaaybe.. Carter and Weir arguing would likely result and THAT might make for some good watching.
I remember when those two were at odds in SG-1's New Order, and I'm hoping to see some sort of "what goes around comes around" thing to smack Carter in the face when she takes command of Atlantis. Some sort of acknowledgement of the irony of the situation would be priceless.
