SGA casting spoilers

[castalia]

So it's official, Tapping it out, Robert Picardo is in. (Warning, multiple casting spoilers in the article.)

WTF, PTB?

Seriously, you're putting in charge the guy who so far you've never shown to make the "right" decision even once? The one whose decisions swing from wildly reckless to wildly cautious depending on which plot points you need him to fill?

*sigh*

It doesn't help that I've been so bored with this season so far. Everyone else seemed to love last week's ep, and I was bored silly. Perhaps that comes from so many years of watching SG-1 deal with Replicators; they're done, nothing new, please move on now.

Still wondering how they're going to bring back Beckett without just using another AR storyline. Still, if it gets him back for multiple eps next season, I'm all for it.

Plus, we get Daniel for an unspecified but plural number of eps in S5. Hurrah! I'll bet he's been super jealous of Sam for getting to live there for a while and be in charge.

Oh, SGA, you are the most tumultuous show regarding casting ever. Stop with this revolving door thing!

so, they kicked out Elizabeth Weir to make way for Sam Carter (cos god KNOWS we can't have 2 kick ass in charge women on the same show!!) and now she's going and they're going to bring in... this guy?

I don't even *watch* the damn show and I'm aggravated! Although HUGE WOOTS for you that they're bringing back Carson!!!!

Okay, and what up with Jewel S. as a "regular" cast member instead of recurring? Because DUDE!!! If *any* recurring character should be put in the damn credits, it's ZELENKA, damn it!!

*grumble growl grumble*

Don't hit me, but I think this could shake up the show in a fun way. So far, I think Sam's been a really boring leader, because she's just... really nice and competent. (Well, SGA!competent. You know what I mean.)
