weaselettIt;s official - SGA? no longer on the must see list
I had hope - for the shortest time I had hope - now I just want to kill something.
There is now officially not going to be a character in SGA to whom I can relate.
First they kill both British characters - then they take Liz?? WTF??
Don't get me wrong, I love Rodney, Ronon, John and Teyla - but I can't relate to them.
I am not a genius astrophysicist - nor am I an american Air force colonel - nor am I an alien..... Sure I'm not LIKE Carson or Elizabeth - but they were at least more or less normal people thrown into a completely alien situation.
Carson was the one that dragged me into this fandom - I wasn't sure about it to begin with - then I fell well and truly in love with it - and only more so following the first half of season 3....then the second half came...and teh bad started.
If it had just been carson I might - might - have kept watching, but now after this:

nope. I'm sorry - but Sam had 10 years - 10 WHOLE YEARS to be a great character - she doesn't belong in SGA - nor does she belong in charge - it's against so much that has been developed in the show that it's damned painful. After three years of fighting against a military commander - they get one - but then yeah, it's Sam and she's just so super. *head desk*
Don't get me wrong - I like Sam - I loved her until s8 - but the Sam we have now, not so much the love as the like. It's been a while since she's failed (hell she didn't even fail in Unending peeps) way too long. Plus - her experience does not lie with the wraith and the last time she met someone like the asurans?? it ended kinda bad.
Sam was good back when she wasn't perfect - back when she made mistakes and didn't spend an ungodly amount of time (I spent less in my deepest stages of crush in high school and even the obsessed bro spends less) in tuw lub with Jack.
At some point towards the end of s7 she began the spiral into super!sam of the doe eyes. Then....there's gemini - the single BIGGEST reason she's not ready or right for the command of Atlantis.
I miss the old Sam. I miss the strong, intelligent woman and I doubt we're going to get her back - even if she is in the Pegasus Galaxy now. Plus - I really want to know how she and Teal'c get to go there - but Daniel doesn't (??) - and then there's the films.....yeah. *head desk*
Basically - I don't think I'll be watching season four - not that TPTB care
Oh well - that's another promising show down the sink.
I'll write some good meta on this at a later date - once I've cooled off - and it isn't quarter past two in the morning.
