thoughts on a spoiler

[eretria]

This was the beginning of the magazine article:

"...Amanda Tapping and her character, Col. Samantha Carter, who'll be taking over as the new leader now that the TV series SG1 is coming to an end."

This, here, was said half a page down:

Cooper said "It's about time she [Carter] got a command, and we had to keep that from happening to SG1 because we wanted her to be part of the team."

Now, everyone assumes that Sam will be taking command of Atlantis, and everyone is crying that it'll be the end of the world. Now, while I agree that it wouldn't be the best choice, why aren't people thinking out of their boxes a little?

Magazine articles often make assumtions. The bit from Robert Cooper is ripped out of context. He didn't say that Sam would be in command of Atlantis. He just said she'd get a command. Wasn't it said earlier, in other spoilers, that there would be a new ship? Anybody thought of the option that Sam might command the ship, like Caldwell did with the Daedalus?

I really wished people would just trust TPTB a little. They made 10 freaking seasons of SG-1. They KNOW how to make decisions. Sure, not everybody will like them. But it would be so nice if people would take a step back and take a breather before they started screaming bloody murder and end of the world and Oh, I'll never watch the show again if they do that!.

Remember Darwin? "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change."

So, really. Breathe. And think POSITIVE for a moment there.
