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

You mean as in, "Oh, Daniel, your life - so much like a self-published new age manifesto?" *snickers*

I have so much love for this entry, I can't tell you! Well, I love all your hilarious entries (when are we getting more Star Trek TOS commentary?), but this one really hits a nerve, because all of my favorite cafes have such an area with this type of literature (nothing to do with literary value, it's just an expression, OK!)

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.

But my real point is, maybe we should be grateful SG1 and SGA were canceled when they were, because I think the showrunners had run out of useful workshop titles, and for future seasons they'd have had to mine, like, the Tantric Love Energy workshops. [...] I - I am glad I didn't have to witness that, even secondhand.I thought that SG 90210

Thank you!

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

i don't know if it's already been said, but the people writing the marijuana ones aren't writing much beyond "DUUUUUUUUUUDE".

[wendelah1]

but what do the people who read the marijuana stuff write?)

Weeds.

I laughed so hard I thought I'd peed my pants.
