the anti-S4 thread over on Gateworld

Honestly, they should just rename it to "My Entitlement Issues, Let Me Show You Them!"

It would more accurately describe the sentiments therein.

Let them bitch, let them act like spoilt brats, because frankly, in spite of what TPTB have done and how they've treated the actors, lack of character story lines/plot for Teyla and Ronon...and Ford, not allowing us to see/hear from Aiden again, this season for both Teyla and Ronon has been pretty good.

Granted, they should have focused on them (and Weir) during all the seasons, and not just focus on McKay and Sheppard, but these are the reasons why they've kept Teyla/Rachel not just because she's eye candy *eyeroll* I love Torri/Weir, but, what we've seen Teyla do this season, Weir could not have managed, it isn't in her, unlike Teyla, Elizabeth was not born and raised a fighter.

People will always think Teyla/Rachel and Ronon/Jason are there just for their looks, let them, because clearly they are not watching the show, clearly they fail to see that both Ronon and Teyla are valuable.

Damn straight! *sighs*

I'm sorry for Torri - the character of Elizabeth-as-city-negotiator/administrator didn't really have anywhere to go after they established that every episode of the show was either about: a) something threatening to explode; or b) exploding something to save the city.

They could have rejigged the Stargate focus in Pegasus to be more about diplomacy and balancing Earth in the Pegasus galaxy, which would have used Elizabeth and Teyla considerably better and set both up for future seasons...but they didn't and we have to live with it.
