Jennifer Keller is "normal" and "believable" and "not a superhero" is a statement filled with truthiness for some, but it's not actual truth. She's portrayed as a child prodigy, 26-year-old Doogie Howser, smarter than everyone around her (until she got to Atlantis) and a wiz-kid with anything medical. How is that "normal"?
::sigh:: Sorry, Went off on a tangent there. See my rant on Keller as a Mary Sue (http://wickedwords.livejournal.com/614007.html) for more specifics on that.
You raise some really good points. I sometimes feel like I am betraying myself in not liking Keller, given how hard I have fought for female character inclusion, but she has no reason to be in Atlantis.
