My Thoughts on the Just-Announced S5 Casting Spoiler

[thegrrrl2002]

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).

I'm... conflicted. My first reaction is "ugh", but that was my first reaction to Ronon, and Keller, and a lot of other plot developments that I ended up loving, so I'm going to take a wait and see attitude.

Seriously, season 4 has been so fantastic that I'm not going to allow myself to get worked up into a lather about something that hasn't happened yet.

I know exactly what you mean, I've been dubious about a number of changes and spoilers, and yet I've ended up loving the show more than ever. S4 has been utterly fantastic! So I'm thinkin' the writers and producers have a sense of what works and what doesn't.

Exactly- SGA is my happy place, and I'm going to wait until I actually stop liking the show- and try very hard not to jump to conclusions.
