woodfaceI need to rant regarding the possible spin off for Stargate and their possible lead.
WTH are they thinking? No really. I'm seriously hoping whoever is posting this is wrong wrong wrong. Michael Shanks has made it loud and clear that he only returned for S10 so he could work with Claudia Black. So why the hell base your new spin off on the whiney bitch in the corner who's acting range goes between looking bored or constipated and possibly both at once.
Have TPTB even watched their own show? S8 was painful to watch as RDA was staring at the ceiling. A lot of people stopped watching S9 when RDA left. Do they honestly think that the new viewers tuned in for Michael Shanks? If anyone saved the series, it was Claudia Black and Ben Browder who frankly were the only actors showing any enthusiasm for the show.
You hauled them in and then you dissed them. Which was a shame, because the series was working again. It was new, it was interesting and fun to watch again. MS? Not the person who saved your asses. People didn't like his episodes for him, they did because you tied him up with Claudia Black .
This just feels like they've killed something that was promising and shiny again in order for something new and... whatever the hell they're thinking it might be with Michael Shanks in the lead. WTF people. WTF.
So yeah, TPTB better wisen up and realise who truly made the last seasons work. And yeah, it shouldn't surprise anyone that if they were to start a new spin off with Vala and Cameron, I'd be in heaven. Because CB and BB actually ACTED. I'm holding out for those movies. You know, as long as they don't decide to haul RDA back for those so him and MS and try to do a who looks most bored/constipated contest.
*breathes* Rant done! I'm good. Well no, not good. I just needed to get that out.
ETA: No offense to the Daniel fans on my flist. You are all sane and nice people. *pats you all*

Date: 2006-12-19 12:49 am (UTC)Honestly, I stopped watching after Season 8. Which is weird, because I absolutely adore Claudia and Ben. But without RDA (who was obviously ready to move on), it just didn't hold the same appeal for me. Plus I tuned into an episode here and there and just found the plots...well...ridiculous.
Personally, I'm with you that Shanks should have stayed gone after S5. I loved Jonas, and never understood why they had to write him off. (We can have Vala *and* Sam, Cameron *and* Daniel, but not Daniel and Jonas? WHY?) And MS (or Daniel) is just not a lead character. The only way he can get by and not be overwhelming bleh is in an ensemble cast. Just...gah.
The sad thing is, working in the 'Gate verse is probably the only way Shanks can keep an acting gig. ;)
