Well she actually had signed a two year contract and knew that should SG1 not be renewed for S11 that she'd be doing some SGA. Personally I wouldn't be surprised if TPTB worked it out that way because they make no secret of the hardon they've all got for Amanda and the character of Carter. I would have been more surprised to see them actually NOT cross Carter over.

And it's sad really because I think SGA has SO much potential if the writers would stop clinging to SG1 and give SGA the attention it needs and deserves to become even better than SG1. I loved SG1 for a long time but too many changes happened and I stopped watching mid-season 8. I don't think the show should have lasted as long as it did, and on the opposite end I don't think SGA will be given the chance it deserves to shine and it's too bad for the actors because they've done wonderfully with what they've been given.

I'm happy for the projects they're getting to take part in, but I'd prefer to see them every week rather than once a year in some movie. ;) And I think given the choice most of them would prefer to stick with SGA, at least for a while yet, rather than run off to do these side projects.

I'm going to keep everything crossed that the writers/producers don't screw things up too badly and that SCIFI will give SGA a chance to stand on it's own feet now that SG1 is no more.

Didn't Tapping fight being on SGA last season? Remember the "rumors" that she spread that she might be on SGA during its third season, instead of being on SG1?

I wonder what's with that. She's using SGA as a lifeboat for a career? Okay, that was catty, but this, combined with the 'upset' from last year - makes me wonder, is all.

Honestly, it seems the PTB keep the actors in the dark about what their plans are. I think she was told that her screentime might be split between SG1 and SGA and though she didn't seem overly enthusiastic about it she didn't really fight it--that old 'I trust the writers' crap that all of them spew whenever rumors start going around about changes.

They've got her under contract for another year. I'm sure she doesn't mind the work, who would, but I'm thinking she was probably hoping for a S11 of SG1 rather than being shipped off to SGA. I mean she's doing the requisite 'I'm so excited' claptrap but after last year I'm wondering just how excited she really is. And really, I don't know why they didn't just work something out that the movies would be considered her 11th year or something like that. I mean she's going to be in the movies anyway but it seems pointless to spread her between two movies and a series, not to mention she's going to be seriously stretched. A series is a lot of work in and of itself but add two movies to that that are supposed to filming while S4 is filming? What the hell were they thinking?

TPTB certainly used SGA as a lifeboat for a career.

I think TPTB planned for AT to be on Atlantis for quite a while, it was just a matter of when.
