A huge thing is the whole turn-Wraith-into-human story arc. And I'll admit that it seemed most of them acted like ass-hats, plus the story (like most on SGA) sucks *and* blows. (Yes, SGA is a love/hate thing for me.)
I hate how he's been thrown in on missions when the plot requires a doctor-type -- but no other reason. But -- is he a doctor, or a geneticist? I forget, though he must have been a doctor . . .
Part of it is that I just don't like him. I feel neutral about him, so all the bad writing really sticks out, unlike most of the others, who I can like in spite of the crappy writing. I feel similar about Elizabeth, too, except I think she gets a far worse rap because women get treated very badly in this show.
I don't like how "comedic relief" looks on him.
Chatting about this with a freind helped remind me about the parts about Carson that I *do* like, too. I liked how he was so uncomfortable with having the gene and flying and stuff. How he didn't take (much) shit from Rodney. Stuff like that.
