so anyway, i came to the SG fandom late. of course, i watched the film... it was one of my favs. when sg1 first premiered, i didn't have showtime, so i could only catch it occasionally, at friends' houses. when it switched to scifi, i didn't have cable at all... but i did sort of keep up with it via some of the fanfic that began appearing... it ( Read more... )

sgu, babble

I've been watching. I still miss the original of course, but I'm giving it a chance. I've been more bored with some of the episodes than I ever was with SGA.

yeah but seriously? sgu gave us the lesbian goodies. big time. i mean, not naked sexy times kind, but still... no imagination required to see the subtext, it was there in maintext spades :)

True, the last episode was really good - certainly showed some promise. I was thinking more in terms of the earlier episodes. I found a few of them boring. I can't stand Telford and Rush. I was happy to see Young kick Telford's ass. I do like Eli - although he does sometimes act like a child. But then, he is a kid.

Have you been watching Sanctuary? Now, that is turning out to be awesome. Amanda Tapping is really getting the chance to prove that she is an amazing actress.

i'm behind on sanctuary. telford is supposed to be an ass, and as i understand it, won't be on the show for long. rush is a typical head in the clouds, pure "scientist" in the way that rod mckay should have been... i understand arrogance and drive when it's coupled with a serious tone. i just could never take rodney seriously. eli is a spoiled little kid... who hasn't realized that he's all grown up now. when it happens, i think we're going to see something like the daniel effect... he'll maintain most of his youthful enthusiasm, but he'll have a core of seriousness that will make you respect him.

I'm having real trouble getting into it, based on what I've seen of it so far. I finally watched all of SG1 after reading fanfic for it (well Sam/Janet fanfic) for years. I fell hard for Atlantis, and its crack happy fandom, despite realising that it wasn't that good, and sometimes it disappointed and angered me. I'm prepared to give Universe a go, but so far I have nothing to excite me other than Ming Na.

i like the kid. he's funny, interesting, and not too martystuish.

i like the interplay between the ppl of destiny and earth. i like that it isn't about the transplanted human culture of the week. i like that the ship is still so much of a mystery to them... that they're exploring it, instead of planets. there's a lot of interesting paths that can be taken.
