I'm with you there. I find that I stopped watching SGA for the most part after the Shrine and caught myself hording the remaining episodes. But like you, I'm ready for a marathon of catch-up viewing...and then?
Honestly, I feel like SGA ended a while back--probably *because* I stopped watching it live. Call it a coping mechanism, but I feel like from now on, SGA is *ours*. Meaning fandom. Meaning we will treat the characters a lot better than TPTB have done this past season. Meaning whatever happens from here out can be treated like AU in my book, much as I view Firefly the show and and Serentity the movie.
And just today, I realized I have three stories in the works and two more hovering in the background waiting to be fleshed out. I think the news of cancellation hit a lot of people hard (it certainly stopped me cold from reading any more big bang stories for the moment, I wanted something with less angst...)but I am seeing a return of both readers and writers. We'll be just *fine*. *hugs you back*
Of course we'll be fine. And it'll be nice to be able to write stories without having to worry about them being Jossed with the next episode...
It's weird - SGA has been the show for me even since I started watching it, but when the news of the cancellation came, it's like I almost lost interest, both in watching and reading fanfic. (That, and season 5 really didn't live up to my expectations...) But now that I've had some time to reconcile myself with the fact that there will be no more show, I've begun to look forward to seeing how fandom will carry on and make the story so much more and deeper than it could ever be on a TV screen.
Yes, from now on, SGA belong to us and we can do whatever we want!
