There have been so many rumours flying around concerning what will be/what's likely to be/what there's no way in hell will happen in Season Four.

But if the latest is true, I have to ask, are TPTB actually trying to piss off the fans?

Beware! Spoilers behind the cut.

Because, if the conclusions reached are correct, I can't see there being a whole lot of lovin' (of TPTB) goin' round.

This comes from someone who was on the Vancouver set tour, for which N. John Smith was the tour guide, and who apparently didn't realise the Weir's office was meant to be closed 'for painting'. So, Smith took his group in and...

It's no longer Weir's office. There were four framed photos sitting on the shelf behind the desk. One is of Jacob Carter, one of Cassie, one of Daniel, and one is of Sam and Jack fishing.

Oh, and someone else who was there opined that they believe that Torri's role may have been not just reduced, but 'significantly reduced', because when Robert C. Cooper was asked about Weir, his answer
was along the lines of 'She will be featured in a number of episodes and Cater will appear in 14 episodes'. That person emphasised that Cooper didn't give a number for Weir, but tacked on the specific number for Carter, when he wasn't even asked about her role in Atlantis.

I...really can't say that I'm happy at the thought of Carter in command in Atlantis. There are some characters I might have liked to see in command, if Weir really has to go (I've always liked Weir more as an idea, and less in execution, which I put down to TPTB's inability to write a decent woman commander). But Sam isn't among them. And that's so even though I (usually) like Sam.

*sigh*
