I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

I love him. I'd be more of a shipper if I loved Nikita too. But I do love him to pieces.

Oh, I still find Michael fascinating, even though Nikita's characterization steadily went so kerflooey that I wanted to put season five in a paper bag and leave it flaming on the porch of whomever approved it...

Er. Yes. Michael will either grow on you, or he won't. I won't mind which way you swing, since I have friends hugely into Madeline/Operations, and anything Birkoff.

Sumi, I haven't a clue. I haven't seen the pilot in yonks.

I'm willing to accept that he may be an interesting character. It's just, you know, the mullet. In the late 90s. I had difficulties.

It's just, you know, the mullet.

If it helps, the mullet does go away. He looks much better with a) short hair, or b) longer, curly hair.

Nobody deserves hockey hair.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

circumvent the Air Force's insistence

Okay, waitaminnit. I don't watch a lot of Stargate, but I happen to know that the people of Stargate spend all of their time running around among pine trees, usually in pre-technological civilizations, on the ground.

Air Force? What giant pissing contest resulted in the Air Force being the people in charge? And does that mean the Army gets to control some giant undersea installation I don't know about? (I mean, yes, technically, you're flying when you travel through space, but the Air Force isn't in charge of NASA either.)

I watched a few episodes of LFN, and wanted to like it, but nobody will ever top Tchecky Karyo, and that's that.

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

I happen to know that the people of Stargate spend all of their time running around among pine trees, usually in pre-technological civilizations, on the ground

They also spend a notable amount of time flying, if that helps.

Er, yeah. They never explain this. Short version appears to be "it was in our warehouse and we're keeping it, by God!"

They do have a few Marines running around, which I suppose doesn't help all that much.

you can call me bob.

Good point. Add that the Air Force has the saddest and least inspiring uniforms amongst American military and I can't come up with even one good reason for it to be the Air Force. But I do know that the USAF actually endorses Stargate SG-1 and thus specifically prohibits any development of the relationship between Sam and Jack.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Wow, if only there had been a government agency that could have officially forbidden some of the more ill-advised romances on Mutant Enemy shows...

Art Crawl!!!

Hmmm, the USAF is endoring SG? No wonder it gets to stay on the air, when other shows (Farscape) don't even get to use the real name of the agency that is depicted.
