So...

You're getting ready to send Atlantis back to Pegasus.  Or perhaps you are among a handful of secret plotters planning to steal the city and return it on your own, knowing it means permanent estrangement from Earth.


Which doctor inspired more confidence, Carson or Keller? (names chosen in this format because it had a nice ring to it)

Who made the better CMO?

Which is more likely to say, "Yes, I'll go back to Pegasus?"

Which is more likely to turn a blind eye to the stealing of Atlantis if TPTB won't send the city back?  Which is more likely to actively aid, even if they didn't intend on going back themselves?  Would either one rat on the rest of the expedition planning such a risky move?

If you could send *any* medical doctor, either in this fandom or another, who would you choose?

Wait, but wouldn't House have to kill you at least once per illness before he could find a cure? :-)

On the other hand, I could really see House getting off on a whole other universe of things to add to the rule out list. And he'd be sending his poor slaves colleagues on wild goose chases off world to track down Iratus bugs in their nests. Oh. Wait...

Might be hard to keep him supplied in pain killers though!

Carson inspired more confidence in me as a *doctor* than Jennifer. I can appreciate both having qualms about being in Pegasus in the first place or feeling like they were way in over their heads. But I feel that Jennifer's youth and clinical inexperience makes her a poor CMO choice.

Also, John showed more out of the box thinking during The Shrine than she did. That should have been *her* place to shine. And in Brainstorm, apparently when the writers placed her in a little black dress, they revoked her medical license. Shouldn't she have been attending to the flash frozen guy? Why didn't she demand warm dry clothing when moments before she was dying of hypothermia? Okay, maybe her brain wasn't working for a while there, but the whole plane ride home? In wet clothes?? That was just silly on the part of the writers there.

Yeah, I think Jennifer and Rodney broke up pretty quickly as well on the return to Earth. I suspect without the joint experience of Atlantis, they discovered that they really had very little in common. :-)

LOL I'm sure House would have his minions scoure the city for an Ancient device that would keep him high and happy!

I missed SGA when they aired it on Norwegian TV, only caught an episode here and there. Brainstorm is one of the first episodes I remember watching, and I kept shaking my head at this "relationship". I did not understand it at all. To me, Keller seemed like the token pretty girl, and didn't really do it for me, character wise. Luckily, Norwegian TV started a rerun of the series not long afterwards, and I got to see it from the beginning. After seeing Rising, I just had to buy the series :) "I-I just sat down."

I always had confidence in Carson, but never with Keller. And her behavior in The Shrine just baffled me.

Well, if I'm happy with a show, engaged and involved, I tend to be blind to all but the most obvious of failings. By the time I watched the Shrine and Brainstorm, I was far more critical in my viewing.

Damn it, I want my doctors to act like professionals! :-)
