Attention all Elizabeth Weir fans...

It's time to "Celebrate Elizabeth!"

During this time of uncertainty and foreboding feelings regarding our beloved character's fate in Season 4 and beyond, we thought it would be a good idea to rally our creative forces and raise our spirits.

What better way to show our support for Elizabeth than to celebrate her in a variety of mediums for all of us to enjoy?

To that end, we are asking every single Elizabeth fan out there to offer up a contribution to the celebration. Whether you think you're creative or you think you don't have a creative bone in your body, we encourage you to be bold, be courageous, and show your "Elizabethan Spirit". Heck pair up with a creative partner and submit a team effort - the more the merrier!

Here are our theme weeks:

• Week #1 (August 26th - September 1st) - Elizabeth Icons Week
• Week #2 (September 2nd - September 8th) - Elizabeth Wallpapers and Banners Week
• Week #3 (September 9th - September 15th) - Top 10 Reasons Why I Love Elizabeth Week
• Week #4 (September 16th - September 22nd) - Elizabeth Fan Fic & Poetry Week
• Week #5 (September 23rd - September 29th) - Elizabeth Videos and Fan Art Week

Here's How To Play:

Taken from the lates SCI-FI magazine issue

Written by Susan - Friday, 06 March 2007

Following the SciFi press release, the television critic brought some facts and questions for Season Four of Stargate Atlantis.  Although Amanda Tapping's move grabs the headline, Torri and other cast changes are notably mentioned throughout.

The main quote regarding Torri in the article:

Torri Higginson, who plays Elizabeth Weir, the head of the “Stargate Atlantis” mission, will be a recurring character in Season 4, executive producer Joseph Mallozzi said in a phone interview from the show’s Vancouver set. Mallozzi couldn’t say for sure how many fourth-season episodes Higginson would be in; that number is in “a state of flux,” he said. 

It was mentioned in the article (as well as in Joe Mallozzi's blog) that the author tried to clarify points and get more information from Mallozzi about the rumors, but he neglected to clarify.  His reasoning was understandable though:

Unfortunately, I find myself in a bit of a bind. While news is already out regarding certain aspects of the show's fourth season, the back half of the third season has yet to air - on SciFi - and so, I find myself having to walk a fine line - clarifying points that have already become public knowledge while avoiding direct commentary on major developments from episodes that have yet to air. On SciFi. (from Mallozzi's blog)

One final quote from the article:

[Mallozzi] On fan reactions to the upcoming season of “Atlantis”: I think fans are needlessly worried. They read spoilers and get upset [before they see the episodes]. The heartache and the anger – fans would save themselves a lot of that if they would wait and watch the episodes. I’m sure they are already starting their letter-writing campaigns. But in our case, to be brutally honest, they don’t really have an impact on creative decisions.”

Instead of discouragement, I find this fuels the need to write even more.  With enough activity on our part, someone's got to take notice.
