Well. Okay, I'm not an Atlantis fan. I watched it for a while and decided many of the stories were not very original, even as far as SF stories go (retreads of their own shows from SG1, for example) and that the characters had it too easy.

BUT there are fans of the show who are resentful and angry about the casting changes. Many fans of the show that *I* know started watching SGA partly because Tapping's Carter was NOT on SGA as a character. That hideaway from her character is now gone. And, there are many opinions (voiced by Alix, that letter writer) that I've heard in agreement with the letter-writer, that Tapping's experience on one show, doesn't translate into another show.

The producers for Stargate have the reputation for not trusting that the hit actors/characters on their show can carry the show - that their shows always need some sort of "magical" rescue. Usually that means bringing in someone from outside the show and letting them get top billing; and then writing the new characters/situations badly.

There's a LOT of resentment in the Stargate fanbase toward the producer/writers for screwing so much up, in the fans' opinions, of course.
