Sadly it exists everywhere. Some people who take or keep for themselves the credit the others earned. I don't work in the movie or TV industry but I think the better way to increase the quality is to use skills of everyone so listening them. Acting like someone who throws him weight around is rarely efficient. It's bad management. Using the skills of everyone on the set would have been good management. I wonder if all of this would not have influenced the cancellation decision and it was the case once again it would be the consequences of a bad management. So JM would have taken this risk and jeopardized the show only by revenge. If it's the case it would be sadder wasting a success. Plus he lost more coz now he is not anymore executive producers and despite of this he is the best. You're right Joe Flanigan and the others brought life to their characters without them Sheppard would be remained a generic character. So without actors the characters would not exist anymore so why these producers and writers would not listen them. IMO, actors know better than writers who are their character and how they can evolve. I hope there will be a better and close collaboration between them if the movie got a chance to be made. For that it would be necessary JM needs to question himself and try to explain himself with Joe Flanigan. Without this I don't see how the movie could be made. Overcoming the ego. I wonder who is inflated ego. I think I know the answer. I went through his blog and I noticed he eludes each time all questions about Joe or left snarky answers about him. I tried to post there to know why he's never answered question concerning JF or why he's never made Q/A with him. My posts have been systematically removed. And sometime someone asked him about Joe F. this gave him the opportunity to launch snarky remarks or he ignored his lead actor speaking of the others. Look at the vid JM made "good bye Atlantis" he didn't say any words about him. If the movie will make I think the relationships must change between them coz Joe F. is very respected by the others members of the cast. And pettiness is the aspect of the small and weak people. And I don't think Joe F. belongs to this category.
