Thank goodness for the Stargate universe….
It was discovered that I had an ovarian cyst this year, unfortunately a big one that had twisted and done nasty things to my internal workings, so I had to spend time I would have usually have spent doing something a bit more active, either lying on my right side on a sofa drugged up to the eyeballs on painkillers or in and out of hospital having ( Read more... )
I'm glad you have succumbed to SGA. I think everyone should. :)
I know what you mean about time. I keep meaning to watch Farscape, Babylon 5, all those zillions of Star Trek series (especially that one with the pretty doctor), and about a dozen other shows that I haven't got around to yet, but it's not easy fitting them in.
I went through a bit of a blip with S4 of SG-1 the first time around, but I actually regard it with a lot of affection now. It was a bit dark, I think, and I do think it became somewhat claustrophobic and made me feel as if the ceiling of the SGC was pressing down on my head, after all the nice greens and red and outdoorsy episodes in previous seasons, but it has some cracking good episodes. (I have an insane amount of love for 'Tangent', for instance, and could watch it endlessly, although I don't really know why. It just delights me every time.) I found S5 of SG-1 a bit hit and miss but when it was good, I thought it was very good, and it has a lot of episodes I could watch over and over, like 'Threshold', 'Ascension', 'Beast of Burden', 'Between Two Fires', '2001' and, of course, '48 Hours' (in which McKay makes his first appearance and has much hair).
If you want SG-1 fic to read there is an absolute ton of it out there and lots of really good rec sites as well. Team fic, any character fic, any pairing (gen or naughty), and pretty much any genre. SG-1 fandom is really an all you can eat buffet.
