Women and Geeks first, oh wait, that's all of us.
Haven't/Can't rewatch episodes right now dad's watching a football game and doing something in front of the TV I think, so I don't want to disturb him. But I did watch the shows last night and wanted to make some comments about them. Hopefully no real spoilers, I'll try to keep things vague enough not to give anything away.
First, last weeks SG: Atlantis, Rodney actually asks Jennifer out.. after she prompts him, and by the end of the episode they're a definate couple. Sheppard and Ronin see them sitting and talking over lunch, Sheppard wonders out-loud if he's ever going to make a move.. and then they both shrug and walk away (never to be seen again that episode).
This week's episode, it seemed they'd tried really hard to make it seem like they were just going to kill off the main team (Including Jennifer later) and they only survive by the skin of their teeth every time. Really, it's sad that the show's supposedly going to end in a few episodes, just when things seem to be getting good. It was a very good episode all-in-all.
Sanctuary's really shining, the Sanctuary's mermaid kinda got her episode after being in the opening theme. She didn't actually appear, but the entire episode is predicated on her comments. I don't think it's spoilers to say that Magnus is killed, even to say that she's killed by Will, since it happens both as the first scene and is shown in the commercials, then the episode goes 'back in time' and explains the why.
The second scene of the episode was Magnus and Will talking during the initial set up for the episode, so I don't think it's spoilers to talk about either, but evidentally Will and Michael the computer geek who says the subject line in another episode have named the Sanctuary mermaid 'Sally' because her actual name is unpronouncable in human tounge, and it's better than something ovbious like Ariel or Ursula or Pearl (there were other suggestions, but those three caught my attention more than the others). My dad and I just laughed at that, as we have the same habit. We've named the 'Big Guy' Phil because he hasn't been given a name as of yet that has been shown.
My sister left her Beta with us to take care of when she left for college out of state, he actually survived almost through the semester.. A few weeks ago he started acting what seemed like listless, I changed his water, and a few days later he stopped eating, another few days and he became a 'was-a-fish'. Just after I'd talked to Sis on the phone coincidentally heh
After keeping a goldfish alive for many more years than should have been possible, even forgetting to feed him for weeks at a time before he finally expired, I think I have some sort of gift for keeping things around longer than I should heh
On the musical front, I've found a few more songs I want to locate, but mostly I've been having fun listening to the radio and having songs attach themselves to my friends and family. I hear the song 'My Sister' and think of my mom and aunt and wonder what they'd think of it.
One that's actually got me kinda worried, Just a Dream has attached itself to Aya-chan and, even though I make it no secret that I don't like her boyfriend, it actually upsets me when I hear it. He's not planning to enter anywhere where it could happen like in the song, which makes the firmness that it's chosen to attach itself to her even more worrysome.
In other news, I've been reading manga and watching anime, mostly having fun reading shows I've seen before, and being amused at what parts of the story have been changed or entirely skipped in the different worlds, to fill time or absorb it.
Again, there's more I want to talk about and just flown my mind right now. Maybe someday I'll actually remember enough to have an entry here that doesn't end with this.. but for now, I sign off.
