Some neat shots
Sheppard and McKay

Carter and McKay

Well, to me, the promo shots do sex up Carter (see shot right above). I guess that's just Skiffy's PR to attract the fanboys. However, I find it odd that Carter is the first character listed on the Cast page. Hello? Sheppard's the lead, always has been, and I sure as heck hope still is. For Carter supposedly being in a support type roll, the PR people don't seem to realize it. Yeah, Skiffy's 'shiny new toy' to push SG1 fans to watch SGA, but I wish they'd remember the fans who have watched SGA since day one. Sigh.

The idea was for him to take the kodak that I hated and I'm doing all the legwork to find a nice new one to replace the one I loved (our sony mavica that hubby broke Nov. 2005). If I had the camera I would've done the video thing again but it was really short. Some new scenes and one where Sheppard is saying something that I can't quite understand.

Date: 2007-09-22 01:51 am (UTC)They don't care about the fans who've watched from day one. They're more concerned about keeping the SG1 fans happy. As if 10 years plus the movies isn't enough.

Date: 2007-09-22 03:54 am (UTC)I've never had a huge problem with the casting...more that I thought it was inappropriate to the show standing on its own two feet rather than from a character standpoint. The writing never made me feeling anything but a huge dose of 'meh' for Elizabeth - fanfic does her character much better.
However, if the new credits come out and she has lead billing...there will be campaigning like you don't believe.

Date: 2007-09-22 05:06 am (UTC)I can't stand Carter. Really, really can't stand the character. I'm not thrilled with Keller, either, though I see that as a different situation. She's at least a new character, not one that's been around for ten years.
She'll already be on more money than their lead actor, there's no denying that, so it's not beyond the realms of possibility that they'd give her the lead position in the credits, or give her David's spot at the back. Those are the two most prestigious spots.

Date: 2007-09-22 03:32 am (UTC)Oh, they forgot all about the original fans the day they wrote off Weir and Carson and brought in Tapping. We now know where we stand.
You know, I wonder how Tapping's presence in the new PR shots will influence many of my favorite SGA communities. All of them have such lovely banners with Weir- no sign of Tapping (a fact that I love). Will many of the communities make a change?
Heck, if there's even ONE icon of Tapping with the SGA group (notice how I don't consider her part of the group), I won't take it. Won't use it. Won't want it. Don't want her on the show.
Tapping is just a sign that the original fans mean nothing to the producers.
Huh, yea, and I noticed how 'miss can do no wrong, miss perfect Carter/Tapping' has her name above Flanigans in the list of cast members.
They're making a big deal on all the advert's about Tapping's coming to SGA so it really doesn't surprise me that she's at the top of the list.
And if SGA has better success this year than any other previous year? Tapping will proceed from miss 'can do no wrong' to god-like status.
It's a mixed bag of feelings over this. I almost, I repeat almost hope the show fails even with her there. Then again, I love Flanigan and well... it's such a mixed bag of feelings over this coming season.
You know, if they'd gotten rid of Weir and brought in some unknown, I'd've accepted that better. Some Russian or Chinese scientist, or something. Play up the diversity of the supposed IOA ownership of this expidition.
Anyway.. *shrug* The emotions war; excitement over next week vs desire for it to all go horridly worse for the stupid decisions being made this season.
