Why is Woolsey Going to lead Atlantis
It has been announced that Richard Woolsey will replace the character Samantha Carter as leader of Atlantis in season 5. This for me was a shock as for many Stargate Atlantis fans. Woolsey has been an annoying character, often was politically allied against the leadership of Stargate command back on earth. He has started to sympathize with them but still of all the possibilities why pick Woolsey!
I believe part of the reason Tapping/Carter had to leave is b/c her online series is being pick up by Sci-fi.
Personally, I think Walter Harriman/Gary Jones would’ve even been a better choice than Woolsey. Why not Daniel, why not Jack, why not Shepherd?
