Conscious Television. Or Something.

A couple of times a month, Best Beloved, the earthling, and I will go out to breakfast at a locally renowned diner-ish place. It has a shelf by one of its windows where people can set out free literature: brochures, yes, and also the Skeeviest Postcards You Ever Did See, but mostly magazines and catalogs. These catalogs and magazines are divided

Thank you!

I am mostly agog with admiration at your perusal of said priceless opuses -what is the plural of opus, opii?- enough for compiling a LOLastic and very instructional list: the truth behind the Stargate PTB's weird "imagination" while simultaneously possessing zero ability to grasp the concept of plot or character-driven stories (or continuity, sob!) is finally revealed.

These works are truly rewarding reading on their own, but I had no idea I would discover how SG1 plotting worked all those years. Now, of course, I am regretting I didn't find out sooner; it can't be that hard to write for these publications, since they probably don't pay anything, so fandom could easily have infiltrated them and started angling for the stories we wanted to watch.

I thought that SG 90210 covered these topics in their first ten episodes several times at length and repeatedly? Which accounts for how unpopular the show seems to be... I could be totally off-base on this, it's not as if I was going to watch SGU to check the validity of this hypothesis - life is too short...

They might have! I only know about shows that have a big fannish following, because, you know, I don't actually watch TV, so I was only vaguely aware SGU ever even aired. But, wow, if they used all that material in just the first ten eps, they will be HURTING by season three. Pace yourselves, people!
