Just when you thought you'd finally gotten rid of me....

I could bore you with the whys and wheres of my several month-long disappearance but I'll leave it at this: I've been crazy busy, even more so then usual. This is my final year of law school, so in addition to full-time going to school, working my twenty-hour week paid job, my volunteer job as a research assistant on a law journal, running my ( Read more... )

I haven't seen SGU yet. I really don't need to watch anything more at the moment (am finishing up Avatar and watching Doctor Who and DS9) and the two episodes of season five of SGA that I've seen do not make me want to watch anything new from the Stargate franchise.

I love fall. It always rains and no more muggy hot weather. *cheers*

I'm really not liking Leonard/Penny. The whole season so far seems a little strange.

Me too! I hate the combo of heat and humidity.

Agreed on Big Bang Theory. Penny/Leonard is blech for lack of a better word.

I think you're not the only one feeling that way about the crappy Stargate PTB.

Eh, don't worry. There's still at least one Twiniverse story waiting to be written. And mac already suggested I put them all in a seperate story on ff.net so I can continue it beyond Fanfic100. Your idea with the twins in Atlantis really got me :)

I'm offended by Lt. Scott's criminal, unprofessional and tortive behavior of having sex with an enlisted subordinate! While on the job! On a forward operating base! In a war zone!

JM said James is a 2nd Lieutenant. But yeah, that doesn't make it any better of course. I'd still rather ship Scott/James than Scott/Chloe, if I ship Scott with anyone (and anyway, it's more like shipping James than Scott because I just can't bring myself to find Scott particularly interesting... but I'll try to give him a chance since there were a few good scenes with Greer in Air 3). However, I find TJ/Young much more interesting (and I really start to like TJ... at first she struck me as a little too insecure to my liking but I just loved how she handled Telford "abusing" Young's body in Air 3) so I hope they' ( ... )

Dude, you were psychic on TJ/Young. I didn't see it and then BAM! There it was at the beginning of the last episode. I bow before your psychic powers. I like TJ but they've given her so little screentime, background, character development etc that it's hard for me to get into her.

Yeah, saw now that James is an officer. Still not cool. Plus I thought someone called her sergeant at some point. Eh, it's not like character consistency is their strong point.

It looks like James doesn't want anything to do with Scott now! LOL.

Actually, Louis Ferreira clearly stated in an interview that TJ and Young had something going on ;) And if you knew that, you did see the little signs (which doesn't say much about the writers' abilities, though... viewers should have been able to get it without one of the actors stating it), like the way he called her "Tamara" in "Air 1" or the talk when he told her he was sorry that she hadn't left earlier... or his wife (whom I sadly can't stand) telling him the reason for their growing apart wasn't only the job.

Plus I thought someone called her sergeant at some point.

I thought so, too and was confused so I looked it up. Also, I still think she could do better than Scott ;) (honestly, if "Water" was supposed to be Scott and his best then what are we to expect for "Pain" which is supposed to be Scott at his worst?). I really think she looked rather like she would pity Chloe in "Water" than be jealous of her...

I haven't read anythign on SGU so you totally could have let me think you were just a prescient genius.

Agreed on James pitying Chloe.

I don't know if she's so much better than Scott as she is just older, wiser and not fucked up. She seems to be several years older and women are more mature than men anyways.
