Gender Balance, (My Ass)
From Stargate SG1 Solutions
All I can say is quantity of female characters will not solves the imbalance. Elizabeth and Teyla did fine as the only two primary female characters for three seasons, plus a nice choice of support characters. Now, with this all-female team and such coming in, the wallpapering of Teyla in S4 will only get worse. Work on Teyla instead of bring in new "hot" chicks like Vega and Keller, which to me is not only to solve this "inbalance" but to also cater to the pubescent male demographic.
It's simply stringing the fans along - again. You had a nice selection of regular and recurring female characters - Elizabeth, Teyla, Kate, Katie, Cadman, Lindsay Novak, Miko, Sora, even Leela Savasta's cute shy scientist character from Tao of Rodney to expand on.
Not to mention that the key to gender imbalnce's end is integration, not segregation. I would love to have a woman lead a team of men. What is a possible indirect message from this all-female team? Women are only capable of leading women. Factor in Elizabeth is gone, Teyla has an extremely reduced role in the area of leading the Athosians and Keller might as well be sleeping her way through the ranks. :/
