I'm also afraid of how she's going to effect Atlantis' current dynamic.
That's my one definite fear. For one, I don't want the lovely McKay/Sheppard moments, shippy or otherwise, to be tossed aside to make room for the Carter/McKay moments, however much I'm looking forward to them. And for two, I'd love to get some clarification on Atlantis's hierarchy. It seemed strange to me that Sheppard would take over from Weir instead of Rodney, and even stranger that that would be perpetuated with Carter in charge. Is she going to take over thing or just handle the administrative side as Weir did and leave Sheppard and McKay in charge of their respective personnel? That's doubtful, but then how is she going to be in charge and also on missions, which is what I'm assuming is going to happen? It seems like no matter which way they go, there's going to be a lot of shoehorning.

But I'd be way more interested to see the fall out between him and Rodney because of it. It kind of felt like that time shortly after Trinity, where Sheppard didn't trust McKay.
That was what sucked, that callback to Trinity. It's always bothered me that Trinity has really come to haunt Rodney when a: it was his first fuck up after having saved everyone's collective ass dozens of times and b: hello, Sheppard woke up the freaking Wraith, does no one remember that? And it's just shitty of John, as Rodney's friend if not as his team leader, to keep coming back to that. Lesson learned, move on.
And I don't know if that's uneven writing or just more of the John Sheppard mystery. Do the writers just have trouble with Sheppard or is Sheppard really just loosely hinged? (See: Epiphany, where John, a trained military man, totally flipped his shit and shot himself in the damnfool foot after being alone for less than a day.) I will never understand him, not ever.

Also, how sincere did that apology sound? "We have to work together so... so.. so. I'm sorry"
Oh, McKay. I totally couldn't tell if that was a half-ass apology or a heartfelt McKayan apology. <3
I think I'll have to scout around for some more info on Carter now. Not being an SG-1 fan is kinda turning into a handicap here.
