Only 180 episodes left to go. Awesome.
Wow, no post in over two weeks. Go me.
Much has happened in that time, but the only really important bit is:
STARGATE.
Oh. My. God.
To anyone and everyone who suggested I get the series while I was in Melbourne - Thank You. Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart - Thank You. Quite seriously, I have never been so taken by a show like this since Doctor Who. It is just so much bloody fun. And come on, a sci-fi show that actually deals with Einstein's theories of relativity and space-time with a bit of respect, significance and intelligence? So awesome. Except the hyper-lightspeed travel, and you know, actual wormhole travel... but I'm sure there are completely logical explanations for those...
The one aspect of this brilliant discovery that I do hate is that apparently primary characters die. Um, not cool. I know it's ten seasons long, so kind of inevitable, but come on! It's been ages since I've found a tv show with an ensemble cast that I actually like as a whole! There is something I like about every single one of them. And every single time one of them almost dies (or does die), I can only cope because I'll have already seen the icon screencap for one of the next episodes and that character's face will have been in it. The worst bit is that one of them will die, permanently, and I'll just have this forlorn, prolonged hope that they'll just magically jump into a Sarcophagus or be sent to the Nox and be all better. Even Teal'c, who when I first met him, seemed that he would just persist as a stone-cold alien warrior, has turned into the coolest extra-terrestrial ever. The thesaurus/colloquialism jokes never get old.
But seriously, if you're a sci-fan, or even if you're not, go get an episode of Stargate: SG-1. Now. Stop reading and do it.
