Just felt like posting!
Well im now an Oxford resident, moved up last weekend and i've just finished my my first week at work...going well so far...phew!!
So SGA was cancelled..-no spoilers-..everyone has said their bit by now, and no one probably cares by now what i think but.....i wasnt surprised..despite being pissed off at the way they went about cancelling it and feeling like there was a season 6 in there, im relieved in a way, Joe flanigan might actually go on a show where they appreciate his talent, i wont have to put up with any more of tptbs manipulation, the mckay love fest, the keller love fest, the mckay/keller love fest, the love triangle, the lead getting shafted time and again- not even getting an episode until 19 and one thats not exactly a deep emotional piece from the spoilers ive read..the eps from season 5 i havent really enjoyed except search and rescue and the last 10 mins of the seed (really did not get the love for other eps, espesh GITM and Shrine), and the spoilers ive read leave me dreading more episodes than squeeing about them...hell i dont even have any squee anymore, that went to David cook a long time ago and hasnt returned to my SGA life. Dont get me wrong i still love shep a lot, and it wouldve been enough to keep me watching if it had been renewed (and i loved the TEAM-missing again this year), but quite frankly being a fan of this show often felt more like a chore..because there was so much potential (ATA gene! City of Atlantis! Sheppard!) and tptb wasted it. I loved the show too much, i wish i couldve walked away many times, but despite the many problems i had with it, most of the episodes were enjoyable at least in the early years and shep/joe was awesome.
I almost wish there wasnt a movie so i could make a clean break, but ill watch it of course. As for SGU i certainly wont be watching...i didnt care about the franchise.....i did love SG1 and SGA..but i liked them as individual shows, i dont give a crap about the franchise and the new show, which was the reason they dumped SGA-like that isnt enough of an excuse to not watch it, but it also sounds like CRAP! Its a shame cos i love scifi, but..as BLUEALIEN said on GW, i dont want to get invested in another stargate show to be disappointed by the whim of the tptb. plus it really doesnt sound like anything new, knowing these tptb theyll just start ripping off their own stories when they get stuck, and cross over mckay and daniel- probably keller too, because we know they only like to write for the favourites!! Hence another reason why there is some disappointment at the cancellation because we had 5 years of shep and we barely even scratched the surface of the character, but that relief comes in again because sheppard was never going to be developed to the mckay-extent and joe can go and try some more challenging roles. !
so im a bit disappointed there wil be no more SGA, but also relieved. I have no idea what the hell im gonna watch now though...there are a few programmes i still watch like ncis, csi, chuck....but theres no excitement that i used to feel with sga. BOO!!
well i wasnt going to say much on that matter and ended up ranting....oh well!
Im so glad David Cook happened this year...considering i dont even normally watch american idol, it mustve been fate....i got into the show (and by show i mean him lol) just as my love for sga was falling somewhat...and my squee for him grows each day with every new thing i hear about him...i wish it was november already so i could get his new album! Still now there is no american idol and the tour will soon be over, i wont get much cookie......with sga you had 20 new eps to look forward to every year....but with a musician its different...its strange for me i dont normally get so invested in a real person...i just hope there will be lots of cookie crumbs to enjoy once the album promotion happens....i still cant get over the fact hes working with rob cavallo, producer of all the green day albums...love it!!
Ok thats it....i always end up briefly mentioning my RL and then going on about TV hehe.
