My Thoughts on the Just-Announced S5 Casting Spoiler



Woolsey, huh? Not my first choice for leader of Atlantis. I was personally hoping for Caldwell, because I love MP's low growly voice. And shoulders.(Why yes, I AM shallow.) Still, I like the idea of Woolsey. RP is a fabulous actor. I like the potential for conflict, especially with Sheppard. I've been enjoying Carter in the role (much to my surprise) but she and John were in agreement most of the time and that can be kind of dull. I hope having Woolsey in command will give us some good Conflicted!John moments. Or Pissy!John. And indignant!Rodney. Along with NotPleased!Ronon. And maybe even some Scowly!Teyla. Good times ahead!

I am sad that there will be one less woman on the show though. There has been mention of a possible new female reoccurring character--military, I think. But it sounds like she'll be young and inexperienced. Meh. Not impressed so far, but I'll keep an open mind.

So, in conclusion, Rodney is yummy. (see icon).

Well, at the risk of being dull and boring, I agree with you. I really have enjoyed Carter this season but admit her role has been less than I expected or wanted actually. I like Woolsey and yes, I hope the writers will give him a few different dimensions as leader. But again, sparks flying between John and Woolsey and the TEAM rallying around, should make for some interesting episodes.

I also agree about MP's shoulders, but then I may have a thing for shoulders! Honestly, I was just happy not to see Jill Wagner's name listed among the "recurring" or "guest" roles. Not that I don't like her as an "enemy," just not an ally and a close one at that.

Alas, again, I must concur with your conclusion! *g* It's all good!

Hee! That's such an adorable icon! I love it.

I definitely want to see some sparks flying with Woolsey around! John getting all worked up, oh yes, that's definitely of the good. *g*

And yeah, I hear you on Jill Wagner. Small doses are fun, but not too much.

The icon is by the wonderful [livejournal.com profile] nightingaledies. She does all kinds, but I love her SGA.
