Seconded!
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

Fay, where are you in your SGA viewing. It's definitly not up there with BTVS, but it does get better.

How far along are you in SGA, Fay? I was pretty much in the same place you were before the S1 break, but the back half of the season was, to me, noticibly better (with one exception), and they were, generally, being less dumb if I remember right. And I thought the final two eps of the season were really quite good given that... it's the Wraith. So, you know, stick it out if you can. (Or, if you've already seen the whole season, ignore what I just said!) But no, it's not My Show in the way the Whedonverse Three and BSG are my shows. Or like SG-1 is my show. But I adore the characters, and that makes it work for me.
But it's so - it's very like Star Trek.
Then again, Star Trek TOS, DS9, and TNG were all beloved by me, too (though TOS and DS9 stand up better on rewatch than TNG. Again, to me.)

Apollo, in addition to Tyrol, is making me so happy these days. Bitter, snarky Apollo - I adore. I missed seeing Starbuck and Helo this ep. I don't think it detracted from the ep - I just missed seeing them.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I'm watching the second ep of House now, and liking it a lot (House is much like Snape, imho, in terms of being a clever asshole who's less misanthropic than one might think). Going to choose Veronica Mars next, though.
Askye - I've watched up to Childhood's End on SGA. I've made two attempts to watch Poisoning the Well and found myself just not giving that much of a damn, an ddoing something else instead.
Hugh Laurie. Bless. How's his American accent, btw? If one didn't know he was British, would it be horribly obvious? I hope not. I mean, obviously I buy it, but I would. I'm very endeared by the fact that both Hugh and Robert have worked with Emma Thompson.

SGA - The Storm and The Eye are where it really picks up.
Hugh Laurie's accent is fantastic. I wouldn't be able to tell if I didn't know.

Fay --- what Jen said.
John kicks ass in The Storm/The Eye. Rodney's really good too.

To be fair to SGA, the line about Carson being Dr McCoy was good. I'd just already heard it quoted. Hmm. Ooh! Guy who plays Carson is apparently Canadian - left Paisley when he was 2. I'm rather impressed by that. Presumably he's doing an impression of his dad.

...oooh, yes. First ep of Veronica Mars.
V. good. Engaging characters, interesting story, lots of questions raised... I like.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

I read a cute little House/Snape crossover fic I liked. Well, not really H/S in that there was no middle-aged hawt lovin' between our favorite misanthropes, but it had Snape hospitalized in whatever place House works in and there was some good snark. Let me see if I can scare up a link...
Ahh. Here we go.
Echoing everyone's opinion that SGA didn't really come into its own until "Storm/Eye". The second half of the season is really quite good, and the two-part season finale is wonderful. "Poisoning the Well" *is* rather dull, I have to say. That's the Carson-centric episode, right?
Yay, Veronica Mars!

YAY!
Okay, I just noticed that A.J. Cook is in Bloodsuckers. So. I'm going to watch it, cause it looks kinda cool anyway. Who's with me? tommyrot? You know you want to.
