Yup - JM was a right bastard in all his hints & teasing w/ the SCB folks - he led them to believe that if they kept advertising for the show, and Carson, that he'd be back in more eps in S5. There are some highly pissed off folks over on that list. (If I'd invested as much time and effort as they have - oh hell yeah!)
The SEW folks - he won't even acknowledge their efforts. He doesn't like Weir, refuses to bring her back. (It's a Boys Only Club, don'cha know, that us "women folk" don't know how to write, direct or produce. At least, that's how JM & PM view it - they don't have any female writers on staff or female directors.)
Woolsey - yeah, like Keller, he needs to change more in order to fully take command of Atlantis. He's proven that he's not totally the IOA's toady in the start of S3 when he tells Elizabeth what his report's going to say - not the truth, but what the IOA will want to hear as the truth.
SGA Carter - she was gone more than she was there, so what was the whole point of bringing her over? (Apparently only because Torri was pushing too much for her character to be more involved, so they had to kill her off. I repeat what I said before - it's a "boys only" club and the actors don't know anything - esp. the ladies.)
Keller - nothing against Jewel, who is just like the sweetest person, but can we move past the whining? She's changing, but is still totally a whimp. At least Carson grew and had more backbone when it came to fighting back when threatened. I like how they're hinting at Ronon/Keller, but do the GUYS have to be so damn obvious about it? (Of course, we're talking about a bunch of guys here who don't think that subtle is a word in the English language. :-p)
Am I sarcastic and not expecting a lot out of S5? Hell yeah. :-p I am queen of sarcasm here and I truly wonder just why they can't bring back characters like Cadman instead of this Porter gal? Cadman is quite sarcastic and intelligent in her own right and the actress - Jamie Ray Newman - is the lead singer of a band and has a fairly decent voice. (Check out her page - she's got music links up.)
I continue to hope for the central team being unaffected, but it's going to be affected now matter what, and I guess it's up to us fic writers to fix what the writers do wrong. :)
