Sledgstone 8,672 Report post Posted January 4, 2008 When Weir was in command she was in almost every episode. With Carter in charge shes been absent thru most of the first half of this season. I'm hoping they bring her character into some more spotlight situations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm hoping they bring her character into some more spotlight situations. She probably got them to agree to some much needed vacation time so she wouldn't be burnt out for the next few years. Honestly, she's the life support of the series. I was going to stop watching the series just before the announcement that she joined up. I patiently waited for this next season and I'm hoping that I'm not disappointed. Understand this lad, fate is a fickle lady. Work with the hand you're dealt and you may just be able to run your flag up the pole. Don't, and well, you may just find your mast cut down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
