Torri's really gorgeous, but in an understated way, I feel. And she has a lovely smokey voice.
I can't imagine her with the same gravitas as Jessica Steen, but I really can't imagine Jessica Steen on an SG team.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Why is G'Kar (from Babylon 5) on TheWoobie list? I've only watched B5 sporadically, but isn't G'Kar like, the epitome of dignified WarriorDude/WarriorPoet with a touch of "You killed my father! Prepare to die!"? I mean, he'd probably either look at you disdainfully or spit in your eye if you offered him comfort sex.
I didn't put him there, but I wasn't shocked to see him there.
This could be as a result of the G'Kar Woobie icon I made at some point for amych.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Jessica Steen was excellent, but I thought she looked too much like Sam.
Well, but Sam's not going to be on Atlantis, so presumably there wouldn't be a confusion problem. Oh well.

They already have a Teal'c-alike. To now have a Daniel in Sam's body (NO PORN -- they're the verboten pairing) would be weird too.

Man, you're no fun.
My understanding is the Weir character is going to be the Hammond equivalent - she's not going to go running around on missions so much. Could be wrong, though.

Heh. I didn't think of it that way, but Dr. Weir's role does overlap with the function Daniel serve most of the time, doesn't it?
Jessica Steen had a commanding presence, which was the thing I liked most about the actress. You could believe her as a leader. I'll have to wait and see how the new Dr. Weir measures up. I'm a bit wary about Sheppard though, who sounds like a weirdo mixture of Jack and Sam.

It's a very slow-burning, barely-there kind of relationship, but still substantial enough to be a source of annoyance to the slashers and too puny to be of much satisfaction to the shippers. Personally, I really like the way they have handled that aspect of the show.
ITA. Other shows should take lessons.

I also like where they are now, with Sam deciding to move past it, dating, and it obviously not really having been left behind, as such.
I mean, she's getting laid, so that's a plus, but they still have the same stuff between them.
But she doesn't look like she's being a dick with Pete (or whatever his name is), and she seems to be happy with him.

I have a plan.
Hmm. But doesn't woobiedom require a big oost factor? I mean, I really liked G'Kar (from what little I've seen of him)--his voice, in particular, is a fabulous instrument--but his looks aren't exactly the kind desktop wallpapers are made of.
I don't know how the oost factor is measured and know too little of Woobies to argue his case. But, throughout the series, G'Kar's character development took a big swing toward the sympathetic.
Why Andreas Katsulas' voice isn't heard more often in documentaries I'll never know. And it's something of a crime.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Ooh! The Ground Hog day episode is on.
