I remember...

1. Casting is not a fucking spoiler. Get over yourself.

2. Seriously, people, RDA was pathetically NOT ACTING the entire 8th season. It was painful to watch. I won't miss him.

3. Not that the writing was all that on top, either.

4. Just because they were on Farscape does not mean Stargate is going to become Farscape. For one thing, they'd need better writers.

5. And more women.

6. Which wouldn't be a bad thing, except there'd still be the "OMG the women are boring and one-dimensional and flat!" shit. Despite the men being EXACTLY THE SAME.

7. Please can I have a Kara Thrace.

8. Megabyte is currently singing opera.

Word.

A friend and I got into a whole "bitch, please" over the announcement that a male actor would be the new regular cast member. Didn't matter who he was, didn't matter what show he was on, didn't matter that there probably aren't that many high-ranking combat-ready female officers who can just show up.

Simple fact? The show needs another Female. Tauri. Recurring. Character.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*nods* It does. Of course, I'm spoiled by Farscape, which had Aeryn, Chi, Zhaan, Jool and Siko, not to mention Granny...

Sigh.

1. I think there are cases where casting can be spoilery, if it's said or implied what the character will be.

2-7. WORD UP.

1. Maybe. I mean, say, if you were watching John Quixote for the first time, and saw Virginia's name in the credits...

You know, I'd like another female character on Stargate, except they can't do anything decent with the one they have, so two wouldn't really rectify the matter much.

They can just bring Ishta in more or something. Yes.

And the people bitching "OMG! The show will become Farscape!!11!" Are just afraid their show might, you know, stop sucking now.

[auralan.livejournal.com]

I'd love more Ishta, but I'm not sure they know what to do with her any more than the rest of the women.

[thekatebeyond.livejournal.com]

*grumbles* Yeah - it's not like Jolene doesn't have lots of free time, after having been unjustly cancelled from her day job.

*stares at #8*

.... I want that opera.

[karma-aster.livejournal.com]

Can you imagine? Meggy! Singing! Mmmm...

2. Seriously, people, RDA was pathetically NOT ACTING the entire 8th season. It was painful to watch. I won't miss him.

I, on the other hand, will miss him, but I believe he's leaving for *very* good reasons.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

If there'd been any effort on his part to look like he was even enjoying himself, I probably would be sadder to see him go. But it was pretty obvious that he was there to say his lines in as short a time as possible.

And I can't blame him for that, but he should never have agreed to do another season.

*seconds the comments re: Farscape*

Because seriously, having Ben Browder and Claudia Black? Just classes up the place, omg.

[livilla.livejournal.com]

*sticks fingers in ears* Lalalalalala!

That is my reaction to all the season 9 bitching. I. just. don't. care. anymore. I'm just gonna watch it on my own merits, you know? It's just a tv show, sheesh!

I hate that part of the fandom with every fibre of my freaking being.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Eh. I'm usually good until I see how stupid the vocal people in fandom are. sigh.

Then I wish I hadn't bothered following A.j. into SG fandom.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Okay, why exactly are you watching if it offends so?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Probably for the same reason I used to catch Voyager reruns. Genre tv with explosions.

[jr-moon.livejournal.com]

Uhmm...beg to disagree...I regard casting as spoiler, actually. Because it involves a change in the whole show...e.g. Beau Bridges...so...yeah...

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

You know, I bet people thought it was massive casting spoilers when Starlog let people know Muldar had left Next Gen and Gates was back.

There would be such a hue and outcry now.

[woodface]

We can solve all those problems in one go by casting Kara in SG.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

....this is very true.

[auralan.livejournal.com]

2. Seriously, people, RDA was pathetically NOT ACTING the entire 8th season.

Only the 8th? I'll still miss him, but I'm not deluded enough to think he was trying for quite some time.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

There were bits he was obviously having fun with, but... sigh.

[timjr.livejournal.com]

Farscape? Naw... it shall be Fargate!

...and the new plot of the show will be stealing cable from alien races...

...

...

or maybe not.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

...

No.

*eyes*

[thekatebeyond.livejournal.com]

For people to say that Stargate is going to become Farscape is so absurd. Are they saying that House is going to become Sisters because Sela Ward appears? Or that Stacked is going to turn into a home-made sex video because Pamela Anderson is in it? (Oh, wait...) No, seriously, these are people who have a hard time seperating fantasy from reality, and they just can't accept that Ben Browder is not John Crichton, that Claudia Black is not Aeryn Sun. They need to get a life.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

I know. *headdesks*

HAHA. House = Sisters. OMG. I'd never considered that!

Dude. Can we get Tamzin on House? Then it would be Red Cap.

*cries in general over most of these*

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*cuddles*

Darn.

[beverly-mcintyr.livejournal.com]

I knew telling you Eric Schweig was Dakota was a spoiler, but I couldn't help myself.

Wait, is imaginary casting a spoiler??

Hmm. Broken Palisades spoiler . . . Rogue and Dakota have sex. Lots of it!

Err.

I'm feeling odd today.

Re: Darn.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Ooh. Thank you for reminding me. *goes to redesign the Bev section of LIS*

Also, omg! How dare you spoil me!
