Tapping/Carter to appear in 14 episodes of Atlantis..I feel sorry for you Atlantis fans,

[gategrrl]

I really do.  And Carter's getting her own cool ship to fly in.  And Higginson/Weir is being turned into a part-time recurring character, which is what she should have been in the first place.

Wasn't it a year or two ago that they told MS that they'd send Daniel to Atlantis if SG-1 got canceled?

That they did! What I think has happened is that they are keeping Shanks in consideration for the 3rd series and if they moved Daniel over to Atlantis, they couldn't spin him off on his own show. And if that's the case, the only other viable actor to move to SGA would be Sam.

It could be. I might also be that MS really is busier now and maybe doesn't want to commit to being on Atlantis--especially since Atlantis already has a full cast. He really seemed to enjoy the first episodes of season 9 where he had a lot to do, so it might not be that appealing to him to go over to a show that already has established main characters.

Or...who knows? *g* I'm not sorry that it's not Daniel going to Atlantis, though I think that makes more sense than Sam. I've liked Atlantis well enough, but...I don't know. I think it would bug me even more to see Daniel on the backburner on Atlantis. OTOH, I'd love to see him in a guest spot on that show for 2 or 3 episodes or something like that--if the storyline focused on him somewhat and let him interact with the other characters. That could be fun, not that I think it'll happen. *g*
