Yes, so far she's not all too convincing in that role. Right, if they would still be cut off from earth, it would be another matter but they aren't. And even Keller herself didn't want the job permanently as we saw at the end of season 3 when she approached Weir with the question of her replacement. I would love to see a more mature and capable CMO of appropriate age, say, 40? *G* But that's an entirely other matter and don't get me started on how very much I would love to see a *credible* and mature female leader in the series. Not necessary leader of the expedition but, say, a Traveler-ship? *G*
Imagine an woman of that age (yeah, okay, let her be attractive, after all we *do* have an audience to please and neither Elizabeth nor Sam was hard on the eyes, quite the contrary ;-) ) with matching experience and credibility, someone who's proven what she can do, has razor-sharp brains, a single-minded devotion to the well-being of her people *and* Larrin's lack of scruple when it comes to choosing methods to get her way. Someone not necessarily likeable but possibly dangerous. Now *that* would put John in trouble. ;-) Okay, I digress... *G*
>>I love your woobie!Rodney/John comfort fics you propose though.
*g* You and me and probably a thousand fangirls out there as well. :-)
>>And when Keller died in one time line, Rodney spent the next 25 years *bringing John back*.
Despite the possibility that he perhaps wouldn't get a chance with Keller the second time around. John even *told* him so.
