I agree with Tipper, in spite of my recent and mortifying freakout. Out of the whole "series of unfortunate events," what pushed me over the edge was the thought of Carter ending up not only in McKay's lab but also in Weir's office (not that anyone official has said that's going to happen-just my own panic talking). I've since stepped back, regained some perspective (hopefully), and decided to wait and see how the writers play it. "Only four days per episode" might mean a more supporting role, rather than lead? I don't know what a normal schedule is. But I could be happy with Carter in Atlantis in some sort of support role, such as Caldwell has been playing the last couple of seasons.
I do agree that Carter being around tends to reduce McKay's IQ, but maybe the writers will realize it's not a good idea to make your heroes look like idiots too many times. And maybe if McKay could start to see Carter as just another person, a human being, rather than his chief competitor and fantasy object? Then there might be hope. Maybe? Just a little?

Here's crossing my fingers as well.
