Stargate Atlantis Worst-Case Scenario Guide

[icarus]

I figured out the secret to writing my WIPs.

Have something I want to do less. Yes! Avoidance of other stories will direct one to the long-neglected WIP, tut suit.

And now for your entertainment, inspired by teaphile: A Stargate Atlantis worst-case scenario guide.

Everyone's panicking about just what season four might bring. Trembling in fear. It's time to bring those fears out into the open. What is the worst that can happen?

Sam Carter appears in every episode (with Amanda Tapping acting as well as she has these last few years). Then she's signed on for season five... eeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

Face those fears. You can do it!

The Replicators sweep through the Pegasus Galaxy handily defeating the Wraith, thus replacing a foe that has some mystery with one that's been beaten to death. Aaaaaaaack!

It's good for you.

Carson is brought back for one episode -- and they kill him again! *cowers*

You'll be so much better off for having dealt with it.

Afterwards, Carson appears as a ghost in Atlantis giving medical advice at key moments. Noooooooooooo!

It's okay. You can let it out.

John Sheppard strikes up a lasting relationship with Jewel. Teyla and Jewel have a cat fight over him. Carson appears with ghostly bandaids. The season ends with John and Jewel getting married and Teyla weeping in the background. Gaaaaaaaah!

There, there.

Atlantis becomes permanently Lost In Space moving from one inhospitable planet to another, chased by the Replicators (led by Replicarter, with whom Rodney has fallen in love and given away their coordinates). Yes. We get to watch that silly flying city every week. Pleasedeargodno....

See? Don't you feel better?

How bad could it be?

This gives me a slight chill down my back because an interview from several months ago gave me the distinct impression that TPTB were getting fed up with the logistics hassles of booking Kavan Smith around his role on The 4400 (and I guess all the guest star roles he took on the last couple of years). I had been comforted that his status as a source of fangirl squeeing second only to David Hewlett might have been made apparent to the producers during Dragon Con, but recent word from that quarter makes me think some of them go beyond not worrying about negative fan reaction and actually court controversy.
