Season Four Dilemma

[chaps1870]

As I attempted to write this evening it occurred to me that I can't get past Season Three. In my perfect world Carter does not exist in Atlantis and Carson didn't die.  There you have it. There is no way I could write Carter unless it was some evil demented story involving her death. And Keller is so boring that I wouldn't even know where to begin with her. A character has to have character in order to write him/her. It's almost to the point where I find it increasingly difficult to even read a story that involves Carter, unless she is the mean nasty bitch my mind has conjured up. 

I thought I might be overreacting to the whole Carter thing but I am increasingly incensed by her 'familiarity' with the characters. In my mind she has stepped into the role too easily and everyone is far too accepting. And if she calls Sheppard "John" one more time I might just puke. Would it be too much to ask that at least one of the characters find her less than wonderful? *gags*

I've seen a bit of Seas. 4, and I totally agree with you. Yes, Carter is the pleasant person who has taken over Weir's role, but that's about as far as it gets...(don't get me wrong, she was great in sg1, but she does not belong in atlantis)!!!
I'll stick with old school sga thankyou very much...where carson and weir are still very much a part of atlantis...where all is normal.

Oh thank god, I'm not alone. I actually used to like her in SG1, at least until the later seasons, but I can't accept her presence in Atlantis. It's wrong and I don't like how she is considered all powerful and all knowing at the expense of everyone else.

Ditto. early SG-1 I really liked her, but she became this golden girl who could do no wrong and as a result the character became very arrogant.

When I hear the producers talking about her it makes me sick. One of the questions asked of Joe last week was whether or not there would be any conflict between Sheppard and Carter, and apparently Joe was pushing for it, but the producers were all, no we can't do that because Carter is so nice and she would never do anything that would cause conflict with another person *pukes*

What they see in her as a character and why they are so enamored with her is way beyond me. I can totally get behind Sheppard having issues with Carter. For one, he should be telling her flat out that she has no right to call him John, because hey, they aren't friends, damn it!
