I don't recall seeing the 'rumor' statement before. wonder if it got added in later. Anyway, the fact that they are skewing for a younger demographic is fact, and it wouldn't surprise me if they do cast very young (early 20s). One could hope that they realize the error in their ways with these casting descriptions and dump the psycho and party girl and slacker descriptions, unless they plan to do a sitcom.
Anyway, as for Sam... I dind't think she contributed anything to SGA except for "Search & Rescue." If they'd written her like that throughout the fourth season, I would have been sorry to see her go, but as it was, I went 'eh' and hoped Woolsey would be better (marginally). What they should have done is actually *written* for Weir and kept that character.
I'll watch the first one, but I never thought the Trek franchise would bottom out, but it did :(
