Heh. SG-1 is like the Borg, only with worse wardrobes.

I stopped in a Walgreens this morning, and as I was wandering down past the pharmacy, I heard the guys behind the counter.

"mumble mumble Stargate..."

My head whipped around.

"Oh, yeah? I liked the movie."

"I've been watching the TV show since the beginning...."

I resisted the urge to actually join into the conversation, but you're not kidding about that Borg stuff.

So, how did the Shrift-conversion go? Was she sufficiently impressed by Atlantis?

And will she write Zelenka for us?

It's enough like the Borg that purchasing SG:A on DVD is one of the main reasons that I want to fly back to Britain. And I've only read a couple of fics, but I find myself strangely drawn to the fandom...

sigh.

I realise that it is very very stupid to have any kind of crush on a character in a TV show you haven't even seen. So I don't. Have a crush. Or anything like one. Even slightly.

However, the David Hewlett/Amanda Tapping interview, with the 'mystery wrapped in a lemon'? VERY cute indeed.

I've totally fallen for SGA and I can't wait to get new episodes. SG1 though, I don't think I'll be watching. I like it, but maybe it's---I think I've missed too much and never seen things in the right order so it's this huge sprawling complicated story.

I love the Rodney and John show.

Plus there's something about the desperation of the situation, the way it's well played in the finale and leading up to it. I definitly feel that anyone or everyone could die and even with back up they could be defeated.

Now I'm feeling a bit heretical, but I'm still a SG-1 girl. I find the Wraith annoying and boring (plus a bit too strong, honestly -- I like a couple weaknesses in my villains). I really do like Rodney (and Zelenka!) but there's just not enough of them. They should think about making it the Scientists in Space show.

The second half of the SGA season made me quit my bitching. But they haven't engendered the sentimental adoration that SG1 has. I don't think they can, honestly. SG1 will be able to warm itself on my Jack fondness for a long time, even if he's not so there anymore.

I'm with Emily on the Wraith -- I feel any solution to their problems is gonna have to be a bit jerky, because they're so damned overwhelming so far.

Sort of like the replicators given too much screen time.

It's like the opposite of the superpowered Mary Sue issue -- they get so strong it gets silly.

I have to admit I am worried that the solution to the seige will be a giant ass pull. Really hoping it's not.

My major block with SG1 seems to be the jumbled order I've seen things. Although I'm pretty good at telling where in thetimeline stories are by the hairstyles.

Oh, my SG-1 love runs deep and true. I feel like it's over, the original show, but I am looking forward to this next iteration, now with added Ben Browder goodness.

But. I do like SGA, and I like it much more than I expected to. Not nearly on the same level as my love of SG-1, but the second half of the season, with at least one exception that I can think of, was pretty strong. Especially for a first season show. I grow to adore some of the characters more and more. They'll never be The Team to me, but I'm still glad they're around.

Don't know how they're going to deal with the Wraith issue. Doesn't seem to be a lot of wiggle room.

I think SG-1 shall be my next show to try when i have infinite time and a DVD player and TV again. Tried Farscape, got nowhere, time to try something new.
