http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index.php?category=2&id=43313 reports the Fall dates for SciFi Channel in the US.

"The fourth season of Stargate Atlantis debuts on Sept. 28 and will air Fridays at 10 p.m. Atlantis will have a midseason finale on Dec. 7, a finale that will feature the return of Torri Higginson as Dr. Elizabeth Weir. The Atlantis team must ally itself with a known enemy to join forces against an even greater foe.

Throughout the fall, SCI FI's summer series will have their finales: Who Wants To Be a Superhero? at 9 p.m. Sept. 13, Painkiller Jane at 10 p.m. Sept. 21, Eureka at 9 p.m. Oct. 2 and Doctor Who at 8 p.m. Oct. 5. "

Well, it's been announced they've pulled the plug on Painkiller Jane. She's dead, Jim *cough cough*. Meanwhile, it sorts sucks (no, wait, it does suck) to read 'midseason finale' as I have this dreadful feeling it will be Spring before we see the second half of season 4. Hopefully just January, but this is SciFi, remember. They advertised SGA in the 9pm slot for several weeks before making the correction to 10pm....

You know, when I read all the 'CARSON'S BACK!' stuff... and now '..the return of Torri Higginson as Dr. Elizabeth Weir..' for the mid-season finale.

Now, is it too much to hope that this means both of these characters will actually be returning to the show in full-time status? Well, of course, I know that for Torri, she's only got 4 eps for season 4, but.. is it too much to hope that she'll return for season 5 full time?

I don't wanna get my hopes up too much, but the Save Carson Beckett camp seems to be all a twitter about things. Can we be twittering in the Save Elizabeth Wier camp too?

I realize Torri's already mentioned that she's looking forward to getting back to some theater work. But even with that, theater work isn't like something that she can't do for a little time filler until she's ushered back to Atlantis for the 5th Season. Right? **looks hopeful**

I have the awful feeling once WEir is gone, she'll be gone like Ford is gone...
