SGA Saturday

Heh, well my wishes for Joe to be in more shows may be less for his sake and more for mine >.> *fails at altruism* The things I have watched just to see SGA actors (including Torri in Stonehenge Apocalypse...).

Jennifer replaced Carson, though, which I liked, because it gave SGA another main female character. Sam replaced Elizabeth (because Amanda had a year left on her contract). I think it would have been cool if Atlantis had been working to establish itself as a political player in Pegasus (instead of just going someplace, and then coming home): there would have been a lot of conflict for Elizabeth, making alliances and treaties which might not have been seen as necessary by Earth. Or allowing in a certain number of Pegasus locals to be trained in Ancient technology the way Teyla was (or in Wraith tech, the better to steal darts...), and having to deal with the unpleasant role of being a reviled gatekeeper keeping people away from their Ancestral heritage. Inter-cultural conflict is interesting! I think TPTB hampered themselves by not planning to have half the regular cast be Pegasus locals, which is why we never see most of the Athosians, Sora, etc. again.
