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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.

Hey. New board.

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.

Tried Farscape, got nowhere, time to try something new.

How far did you get with it? It really doesn't come together until late in S1, when things start to get nasty and arctastic.

Hint: the redder Crichton's eyes, the better the episode.

It's the Visine scale, and sadly, most of the first part of the first season are one-droppers. By S3, you'd need the whole bottle.

Wow. I really, really need coffee.

I tried Farscape when it was rerunning weeknights on Sci Fi. I think I overdosed on too much too soon.

I kinda kept up with what was going on and occasionally would think about watching it. Then I watched the movie. I hadn't seen most of Farscape but I kept crying. Omigod!!

So then I put it all on my Netflix queue and I watched the first one, and Dad sat down, and he got hooked. So we're watching it one disc at a time, rather slow going.

Except he's not watching Crichton's weird dream with everyone in bondage. Or, he could watch it but not with me anywhere NEAR the house.

Not very far. A disc or two. I didn't dislike it, really, just had no interest in continuing. I fully expect that someday I'll try it again, and really get into it, as it had potential, but it didn't grab me like Alias or, umm, my girly dramas. (Gilmore Girls, Once and Again). I really don't watch ALL that much TV.
