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

So, deaths in drama. I'm okay with them most of the time. I thought Buffy excelled - who'd ever forget Buffy's mother's death? Or Buffy's? And they fitted so well in the plotlines, a reminder that sometimes people die for reasons beyond the supernatural or simply outwith Buffy's control. But Beckett's death? And yes, they did it to make the point that jeopardy does sometimes result in tragedy and because they'd pulled off too many miraculous rescues, but I really really really wish they'd stand by their decisions instead of bowing to public pressure, or wanting to bring the actor back because they like him. I thought if they'd had real guts (and I would've hated it) they would've let Rodney ascend in 'Tao of Rodney' (and I always wished they'd killed off O'Neill instead of leaving him somewhere in limbo in DC just in case they ever needed him again). How can you buy into any kind of jeopardy for these characters when you know that, more than likely, they'll find a way to bring them back next year? Ugh. I think I'd just like to see real consequences instead of ones that can be rescinded.

What's not to love about Wesley? Cough.

I suppose we'd have to give Joss Whedon the benefit of the doubt and assume that he was forced to pack too much into the film because he wasn't sure he would ever get to finish his story otherwise. Mal was too damn heroic and other characters seemed to get short shrift so that the Mal and River stories could play out. I liked River but it was too much too soon for me because I saw the film before the series (my god, was I confused by Simon at first!). I still harbour a tiny hope for that second film even though I knwo I'm probably deluding myself. Star Wrs? Well, I loved it when it was released but I really have no desire to watch it again and haven't even seen the modern trilogy. Ironically I don't particularly care for sci-fi... I keep saying, it's the characterisations I'm there for (and sometimes the pretty).

So, didn't think I had as much to say as this. Nothing to do with the fact that we're so bored at work right now one of my assistants and myself watched the rain for a good ten minutes. Because we don't see it that often, right? Ha.
