Just watched the penultimate (originally the last of the season) episode of SGA, which was leaked online.
It's well-written, well-acted, even well-filmed.
It's also the whitest episode of SGA ever. And that's saying something. Rachel and Jason aren't there at all. There are no other PoC's as extras; here's one brother who plays a Marine, and he doesn't get any lines. Based on this episode, you would assume that everyone on Earth--or at least, in Las Vegas--was white.
Which, you know, since that's been the implied message for the entire run of the show...I supposed at least they're being up front about it.
This, though, is why I'm really not sorry that the show's been cancelled. It's bad enough to have no people of color on the screen--see also: Avatar casting foolishness--but when they have them and completely ignore them?
Fuck you, Cooper and Wright.
