sga_squeeWho was the best? Who was your favorite?
What storyline do you think we would have seen if Torri Higginson had been willing to come back (not that I blame her--heard a very interesting interview with her over that)? Was killing Elizabeth so soon after killing Carson a mistake for the show? What storyline, if any, would you have liked to have seen for Elizabeth in general?
Was Sam Carter the logical choice for expedition leader? Did they utilize her character properly? Do you think Sam as expedition leader bore any resemblance to Sam as we knew her in SG-1? Was it possible to introduce a character such as her, that essentially could overrule and upstage both John and Rodney, and still use her well? What storyline would you have liked to have seen focus on Sam?
Was Woolsey a logical choice to replace Sam? Was he a good choice? Do you think John and Rodney and the rest of the expedition would have 'corrupted' him in the end? Do you think he would go back with Atlantis to Pegasus? What if Atlantis was 'stolen' by the expedition and returned to Pegasus. Would he go then?
Who do you think would have made the best expedition leader? Who would you like to see as the next expedition leader?

I know, that probably would have made for boring storytelling, but they had to have been planning for the possibility of never regaining contact with Earth. What were they planning to do when they ran out of bullets? Or coffee?
I thought Sam was flat and wooden too and I think a large part of it was because to really use her would have undermined the roles that both John and Rodney played in the city and on the show. There were some nice little moments of deleted scenes on the S4 dvd and little things like that could have offset some of that feeling. I agree with you, one of her best moments was in that scene in The Last Man. I would have liked to have seen her and Rodney work on something together as well--and have Rodney finally get over his crush to the extent that he could work with her as a colleague and not someone he was trying to impress by being all superior and rude to her! :-)
Maybe it was his honesty, IDK. If they stole Atlantis, he might make the split-decision to go, have a minor freak-out, and then be amazing once there was no one from Earth giving him directions all the time.
I like this assessment of Woolsey. Maybe if he made Teyla his 2IC? :-)
