Well...

Today was not a day where I did anything important, except this: through various sources and connections I have, I managed to wrangle an early edition of the new Stargate movie due out on DVD next month. Let me just say, without throwing spoilers, this puppy is pretty darn good. It ties things up with a very neat red bow, just the way Stargate always does.

I would tell you, but if I did someone might kill me.

And here and now I make a prediction: Through logic, deduction, and a good wracking of my poor brain, Colonel Caldwell is going to be the new leader of Atlantis in the fifth season. This I predict. We'll see if I'm right on Monday afternoon.

At this point, I'm 95% certain I'm right because they said whoever's taking Atlantis' helm from Carter is:
a recurring cast member, now becoming a regular.
Someone who was on the short list last year to become leader of Atlantis.
Which means it's someone we know, who was on the roster already to become Atlantis' boss and lost out to Carter.

2nd in command on Atlantis is Shep, and 3rd is...Caldwell. Shep doesn't want the job (he said as much last year when Carter came in); and since he's already a regular, he isn't going to get it, either. None of the SG-1 members are going to get it. None of the current Atlantis members are going to get it. And they're hiring an actress to play a new military character...bingo. She's got Daedalus, the lucky girl...Caldwell's getting Atlantis at last.

It's not Weir and it's not Beckett because at the beginning of last season they were either in limbo or dead.

Tomorrow looks to be shaping up to be exactly like today. Waiting for Monday. I so want to sit there and tell everyone I was right on this one...

Cheers,
Bec
