But, no, nothing compared to the almost immediate love I had for the SG-1 team.
This is a lot of it for me. I don't have the instant gratification that I had with SG-1.
I'm still watching BSG, which says a lot.

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much any other "genre" show that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Hey! There will be no spacing of the hotness!
Apollo used his position as Starbuck's commander to harass her about her choice of sexual partner. He should at least be sent off to the prison ship. Would Apollo in chains suit your requirements?

Poor vw. I kept laughing quite loudly when watching SG-1. Like when they had the discussion of what to call the ship, and when I saw Kawalsky
Hee. And of course when Daniel assured Jack that he had the address to get them back home.

Hey, no touchie the Apollo! We will keep him around for his arms, which were much to be admired in that first scene. Rrrrowr.
I hope Roslin feels good about making Baltar the VP now. No matter how you slice it, I find it almost unforgivable that she put him in that position of power, knowing her days are numbered. Other than that, bah. I still want to like the show. There's a lot I admire about it. But so much of it just doesn't work.
Atlantis: It's a cliffhanger? CRAP. No one told me it was a cliffhanger. Now I have to worry for months, and I really like just about everyone on that show. Rodney's face, when he realized what Sheppard was doing. Man.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
But does she have independent reality? It seemed last week like maybe she did.
It's deliberately unclear whether there really is a chip or Baltar is hallucinating; we have no solid evidence either way. For what it's worth, I was firmly of the former opinion during the miniseries and have moved over to the latter during the series.
The failure of everyone around him to realize that Baltar is (a) terribly sleazy; and (b) completely nuts is quite possibly my biggest beef with the show after the major worldbuilding issues.
I think the only way I can deal with Roslin's decisions over the past couple of weeks is to assume that the drugs are messing with her brain.

Was that the scene where you could see them flexing as he punched Starbuck for sleeping with another man?
He's gone beyond being just a dick.

No, no, the boxing scene. I believe the scene you were referring to was when he hit Starbuck after Starbuck hit him.

So I'm rewatching Stargate, and I'm thinking about how conveniently they just skimmed over what happens to the people in Ancient Egypt. They clearly don't go forward, though that'd be interesting... so I guess the options are: die in the revolt or live out their lives in ancient fucking Egypt. That's... ouch. But they just flashed us forward and went "Happy ending! Yay!"
Stargate is so weird.

Art Crawl!!!
You know Jack and Carter have, like, negative chemistry.
Also, EVIL cliffhanger!!! for Aquarium.
And I thought that was an excellent BSG!! I don't know, I love BSG, I tolerate SG1 and I enjoy Aquarium -- although if that wraith didn't kill off the new guy I shall be very very sad.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think BSG is better than SG1, but if I had to dump one, it'd be BSG in a heartbeat. I don't well with the love and the cheering and get dopey buzzes from him.
Apollo's a dick, Starbuck's a dick, Adama's a git, Baltar's a loon, Galactica!Boomer's a whiner ... it doesn't make the narrative uncompelling (let me rather consider the opposite), but the character love is just not possible for me.
The urge to be in a Helo/Apollo sandwich, though -- uncompromised.
