I have only seen Torri on Stargate, and she is my favourite character as well as one of my favourite actors on the show. I would love to see Weir get really angry sometime. I cant think of any reason since she has a very good head pn her shoulders and doesnt get angry for no good reason. But I… More would still love to see her screaming, lol.
Welcome! Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this actor! Enjoy :)
Torri Higginson as Dr. Weir when I first started to watch the show did look good. I felt the DR. Weirs charter was going to be a strong female role, but her character started to take a back seat in Season 2 to the others. She when from a starring role to a secondary one.
They also did not improve her character like they did the others.
The show became too much about just a hand full of character, Sheppard, Teyla, and Ronon. Don't get me wrong I like them, but it just became about them too much, but what the show did to Weir they did to others: Dr. Carson Beckett, Lt. Aiden Ford (I think they got rid of him to make room for Ronon).
When a show become too much about few character and the plot is just fighting and shooting and not about scientific discovery or anything else like SG-1 it's going to go downhill because its get boring.
This is why she left the show at the end of season 3.
She just had enough.
My personal favorite of all the talented people starring on Atlantis. I was sadden, or perhaps I should say devisated, when she was taken off the show. She was such a strong and powerful leader, unlike most women leaders I have seen in science fictions. Her acting ability was wonderful, and I always felt for her character, crying when Simon dumped her and feeling for her when things went wrong that she couldn't help. This was all due to the woman's skill as an actress and she will be dearly missed from the show. Why did it have to happen, why?
Torri to me is a georges person. She has experience. I love her act and she is good at being a leader. She is a good leader because she is strict and loves what she does. She has been through a lot even as a leader, becasue leaders usually dont go anywhere because a leader has to be protected but not Elizabeth she is a different leader and that is what i like about her. You are a beautiful person to . I like many things about you but what i hate is that you are now a replicator which i hate because i loved her as being a leader. I hope she will not die.

Torri Higginson plays Dr. Elizabeth Weir on Stargate Atlantis and she guest starred on a few Stargate SG-1 episodes. I remember back in Lost City (Stargate SG-1 Season 7) there was a different actress playing Dr. Weir and she was awesome. I wanted her to play the character, but then they changed the actress to Torri Higginson, which is a poor replacement. She's not a very good actress. Granted, she's not that bad, but she really is not that good. Anyways, her character is annoying, her acting is bad and it's another reason that Stargate SG-1 is better than Stargate Atlantis.
I am just watching through the third season now, and am terribly disappointed to see that she will not be staying in the show (listed as seasons 1-3). As far as I am concerned, she did in one show what it has taken others (e.g., Kate Mulgrew - Captain Janeway) to do in several seasons. Torri has never come across as anything less than natural and consistent in her portrayal as Dr. Elizabeth Weir. I think that she should be grateful to the writers for giving her a role that didn't require her to deal with being feminine etc (that whole "mam" thing that Janeway dealt with). However, as one of the other reviewers wrote, she is subtle and does a brilliant job of playing her role. She is fully convincing. I am VERY disappointed that she will no longer be in the show.
