‘The Shrine’ was fantastic and would have absolutely PERFECT – if and I do mean IF there was NO Keller in it! Up until that point I tolerated her character and liked her with Ronon [although I would’ve cheered if Teyla had allowed her to fall off that damned rope/bridge thing on New Athos! 
] but the Keller we were given in ‘The Shrine’ almost ruined that ep for me. Between her lack of professionalism [conflict of interest, lack of concern when there was an obvious change in Rodney’s behavior after they returned from the flooded planet, allowing her socalled ‘knowledge’ and superiority to cause her to dismiss Ronon’s Shrine cure temporary or not — thank god for Jeannie showing up!]. I really wanted Sheppard and team to get in Keller’s face and defy her dictatorial attitude about Rodney and his treatment. And it was completely telling in my book that although Rodney said he loved Keller – it was John that he called for when he was at his lowest point.
Series Five went downhill because Wright got his fingers in the pot – he wanted his OWN show to be Showrunner for – and he had never liked SGA anyway…. What really really REALLY annoyed me about Wright was his sudden claim as SGU was about to air its final ep – that HE had taken the fall for SyFy when THEY wanted to cancel SGA in favor of SGU. I call ‘BULLSHIT!’ pure unadulterated, unmitigated BULLSHIT! I have no respect for Brad Wright, very little respect for Robert Cooper or Martin Gero and NO respect for Mallozzi for being an absolute asshole about Joe Flanigan after some sort of ‘conflict’ between them that Mallozzi couldn’t keep quiet about and Flanigan took the high road and never responded publicly to.
