Okay, so I already mentioned how I'm not exactly fond of the new SGA. Well, it seems that New SGA has been renewed for a fifth season. I am well aware of the fact that this makes me a "bad

Amen. Ford I could understand, there really was done for plot reasons, and while I missed, him, that was a gutsy move. But this isn't my show anymore. Both the premise and the cast have been shot to hell. You said it better than I even could, but I miss the people who were human, who were in over their head and doing the best they could. I cannot stand St. Sam, and I hate the way that the balance is gone. I've stopped watching and what little fic I'm writing, is pre-Ark.

Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone in this. I feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of squee and SGA isn't home for me anymore. And telling myself it's just a show isn't working so well.

Thanks!

I missed Ford, because I did like him, but they didn't use him quite as much as they should have. The re-vamp was sort of exciting, but they could have done so much more with that storyline! Then, there was the fact that fandom heard from Kavan that the main reason Aiden was written out was that Rainbow was screwing up on-set. It sucks, but it happens sometimes. In this case, these were two people who were doing what they were supposed to, as far as we know.

The fic that I am writing right now is up-to-date, but I'm just working around it or planning to kill people off. When Nano starts, I'm planning to work with the pre-"Sunday" era.

No, you're definitely not allow in this. I thought I was the only one who wasn't as excited about season five. As far as I'm concerned, there's always fan fic somewhere on the Internet that I can read. = D

I hadn't heard that about Aiden, but I'll buy it. And while it's sad, I have to admit that I think the Ronon character had more potential with his history and all that. Not that they've lived up to it. But there was no reason to cut Tori or Paul except that they had to get Sam in. And the SGA universe suffered for both the loss of two major characters and the forcing in of another.

I'm glad you're writing and I'll keep an eye out for your posting. Do you mind if I friend you? No is an answer. :)

I read that in the comments of mice1900's journal. I think. This was months ago and was what made me give up hope of ever seeing Rainbow on the show again.

He did! That's why I read so much fiction with Ronon backstory, because the writers haven't used it that much yet.

*sad nod* This is true. There really was no reason for them to cut Torri and Paul out. I see myself reading even more Elizabeth and Carson-based fics in the future to make up for it.

I'm just working on my drabbles challenge for 50drabbles over on InsaneJournal at the moment. What are you focusing on? No, I don't mind in the least. I'm here on LJ, but I mainly post to IJ these days. Do you have that as well? I'll do a double friending if you do.

[silver_cyanne]

I have an IJ as a backup, but I can barely keep up with LJ so I'm not over there as much. I'm the queen of WIPs, the ones in SGA are McShep. Someday they might even get finished.

We've got a writing community if you're at all interested words_count.

[dmitchell1985]

*noddles* I pretty much moved over there after fandom came under fire so heavily. I mostly come back to crosspost, take care of modly things, and SGA.

I used to write WIPs. Now, I would barely write anything. I am just working on completing my 50 drabbles challenge. I picked Ronon/Rodney. = D I wish you well on finishing your WIPs, because they can turn into a handful.

Cool! I'm wondering who's "we." I will have to go check it out.
