When I first read it was going to Woolsey taking over, the only thing that popped into my head was a picture of him cowering behind his desk as Atlantis falls to "XYZ" villain. Then I calmed down and actually remember the episode "The Scourge" from SG1. He was actually very good, and almost action hero like.... almost. So I figure I'll give him a shot. Let's face it, TPTB have always said the head of the expedition was never meant to go off-world. They're the pencil pushing, administrator, figure-head. And in that respect, Woolsey sounds pretty good.
When it was announced Carter was taking over the expedition, there was this uproar about how she would dominate the show. But so far, she hasn't been seen all that much. So I haven't been upset she joined. Keller on the other hand..... Seriously, how do you get a job going to another galaxy when you're afraid of your shadow. And trees. And bugs. And just about everything else. She just reminds me of some doctor's daughter playing make believe. I would love for Carson to come back full time, but do we really know how he comes back? I mean beyond the whole "what took you so long" in The Kindred. It's the real Carson, but after a year of captivity, how is he?
As far as the core team. I'm not worried, TPTB would have announced in the press release whether any of them were cutting back or leaving. The only thing that has me anxious is that in the description for the season 5 opener, the issues of this season's finale are not mentioned. Granted, it's just a bare bones description, but still. I think I'm going to be biting my nails all summer. And they're pretty short to begin with!
