Aaaaah, you guys, I am only one grade for one paper away from my BA transcript (which I will eventually pick up in order to... hand it right back in so they'll let me stay in the Master program, I guess? RULES ARE CRAZY, IDK)! Hopefully it'll come in soon. I also got my thesis results today - 1.8 (on a scale from six to one) so I'm PRETTY HAPPY

I haven't even bothered to give SGU a try, because all the intelligent and thoughtful people I know who HAVE watched it have basically given it a huge thumbs down. And you didn't even mention the apparently rampant misogyny. Awesome. It's such a disappointment - they took away my John and Rodney for THIS? Sigh.

But WHITE COLLAR YES! It brings me so much glee. :D I've been reading a WIP series by china_shop called Reasonable Doubt and it's building up slowly and deliciously to OT3 funtimes, so I think you'd enjoy that. :D

EEEE YAY THANKS FOR THE REC! Excellent.

Also, yeah, sigh. I don't necessarily think the show treats its female characters badly, as much as it... doesn't treat them much in any way at all, Sgt. James I mentioned above being the most prominent example? I actually really like her character and I wish so much that they would DO something with her (something that doesn't involve her boobs. Okay, scratch that, maybe they're treating their female characters badly after all), but it pretty much looks like the one thing they ARE going to do is kill her off, which, fuck you too, show. It has some good points! I like Scott and Eli. And they have a lesbian character who gets to have a happy, healthy relationship back on earth? And... yeah, that's pretty much it. Which is sad on so many levels.

I hated SGU. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaated it! The pilot episode left me wanting everyone dead and it did not improve in subsequent episodes. WC, on the other hand, is terribly charming and wonderful. Now if more people would write me threesome funtimes with Neal, Peter, and Elizabeth, I can be happy!

I really don't understand why this particular show fails so hard at characters when the characters were what really made SG-1 and SGA, you know? (Cause it sure wasn't the plots. Ahem.)

MORE THREESOMES ARE NEEDED. Where can we sign that petition? ALSO YOU HAVE NORA TSCHIRNER IN YOUR ICON. ♥Nora♥

The lack of humor and likable characters, I think, are the main problem with SGU. Whatever you say about SGA and its lack of logic or plot, at least they had compelling, funny, interesting characters you could love and/or hate. I literally could not watch a half-hour of the show and not fall in love with everyone whereas I watched two hours of SGU and hated everyone with a fiery passion. :\

Oh, Nora! I watched Keinohrhasen a few weeks ago and fell completely in love with her. She makes me so happy, bibi!
