bonny, have you not watched SG-1? You have lots of fun ahead of you! Plus, the awesomeness that is Teal'c. And, eventually, Cameron Mitchell, the ultimate SG-1 fanboy.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

bonny, have you not watched SG-1?
Oh no, I totally have. It's just that my love is so pure, I can watch it over and over.
Since it's been off rotation on Hulu, I haven't seen it in a while. Soooo. I'm squeeing over the dvds.

I fell into watching SG-1 because Theodosia stayed with me one weekend and had to see the current episode, which was some season 6 thing with Jaffa and Tok'ra. It was entirely impenetrable to me, but somehow that got me interested (possibly Jack O'Neill was hot) and I started watching the SciFi reruns.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jack O'Neill remains the only male character who can compete with Dean Winchester in terms of me loving them through even when they write the character inconsistently, because he's just *so*...so very when written probably.
In my head, they spend lots of time together--if not our O'Neill, maybe his younger clone.
Oh, my. I had not followed that thought through properly. This might preoccupy me more than Dean/Stiles just was.

Heh. I forgot about that toaster I earned.

Heh. I loved the young O'Neill like pancakes.
Right now, I'm watching the episodes with the Tolan and Nareem. Mmmm. Nareem.
Ahem. Anyway.
If I had to pick my very favorite regular, it would have to be Daniel.
Imagine my disappointment that Shanks' new show is, so far, so bad.
He did do a great turn on "Endgame", a series I was sad to see canceled. I think you can still catch it on Hulu.

I liked Daniel well enough, since so much of the first seasons is his show, but I felt he got smug after season 6, and basically his character arc stumbled to a halt after his return. After that he just seemed to be treading water, since he'd been positioned as The Seeker, and seemed to run out of things to seek.
(He was also damned hard to write, I found--much harder than O'Neill.)

I can't disagree.
Though, I did like him in the episodes where he was an apparition. When he carried the Lifeboat souls. When he held Vala when the Or'i were torturing her. When he yelled at Vala for teasing him because she was bored.
Um. Well. I guess I am a bit of a fan.

I liked Jack for the RDA factor. He was my first celebrity crush, back in his General Hospital days, and I've enjoyed watching him through much inconsistent writing and questionable hair styles (*cough*MacGyver*cough) ever since.

The status is NOT quo.
I adore SG1. Jack is the best.
