Sandy is just in a guest role, right? One episode? Why is everyone being an asshat about it? They show is still about the boys, they have a thing that can't be broken. They have too much on-screen chemistry and fen have been so vocal to Kripke about their plans to smack a bitch if the two new regular girls they have on the docket break that up, that Kripke had to make numerous public assurances that it wasn't going to ruin the dynamic we all love. I mean, I love the boys as much as the next fangirl, but they have to interact with someone sometime or there wouldn't be a story for the show to tell. So what if it is JP's girl, she's a professional, as are the boys, if they can handle it, so can we. If she turns out to do a poor acting job, then I'll complain.
Also, someone mentioned that the fangirls are starting a trend of treating the actresses like shit when they supposedly get in the way of our sekrit love affairs with male actors. I have also noticed this trend (re: Weir-hate and especially Carter-hate in the SG-1/SGA fandoms) and this puzzles me. The fen demographic is overwhelmingly female and dominantly liberal. Shouldn't we be the ones who protest when female characters aren't used to their full potential on-screen and sometimes degraded as mere sex symbols? Ladies, let's get our heads out of our posteriors please. This is an issue that we should be fighting against, not perpetuating!
