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.

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.

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.

I very know this feeling.

Someone at sga_flashfic just got snippy with me because I didn't put a slash warning on a fic I posted.

Some days, I hate the world, you know?

You're kidding. I mean, c'mon -- that place is just as slash-heavy as Peg B is.

By the way, you shouldn't hate the world, because that's a lovely little story.

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

I don't know that impressed is the word... I mean, I was giggling a lot, and I adore Rodney like whoa. I also have all the episodes, which I need to find time to watch again before the new ones start up.

And will she write Zelenka for us?

Uh. I'd like to? I have no idea? Writing mojo seems to have gone on vacation after my last story.

I'm not sure if I'm liking Aquarium better than the original because I got in on the ground floor, or because the characters/actors are more appealing to me. Sam's really the only character from SG-1 that I have any affection left for, whereas I really like both Sheppard and Weir and at least enjoy Beckett and later-season Teyla.

I'd definitely agree that Go'auld are more interesting as enemies than the fetish ball Edgar Winter clones.

You're kidding. I mean, c'mon -- that place is just as slash-heavy as Peg B is.

Right? I mean, hello? Who are the mods?

There's now a second complainer, and they're both calmly agreeing that it would have been ever-so-considerate to label it for people who "try to avoid" slash. Which...I know, not really an outrageous demand, but it just hit me at totally the wrong time today. Plus, if someone acted that way about het? Watch out for the fireworks. But slash, of course, must be treated like it's icky and contagious!

The second person said she'd just make up her own ending. Um...thanks. I guess.

I saw. I don't get the "OMG must avoid slash!" I mean, okay. You hit "back" when you see where it's going. But then I'm one of those read-anything people. (With the possible exeption of incest, and I've even read that, once or twice, depending on the context and content.)

And, really, if the story's good, the story's good. Which it is.

It's also the tamest slash ever. It's practically smarm.

Anyway. Letting it go. Lovely feedback from other people. Moving on.
