I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Yeah, but dude, they weren't even surprised. I still think it was deeply bizarre.

Yes. Well, that's Stargate for you. Characterization and emotional fallout are not really their strong points; they much prefer blowing stuff up.

In all honesty, coming out of Buffy and Angel and Farscape I find that kind of... relaxing. I mean, yeah, unrealistic, but it's a heck of a lot less emotionally exhausting for me. (Of course, I'll never describe Stargate as a brilliant show, either, despite how much I love it, so that's your tradeoff.)

ETA: Which isn't to say they haven't surprised me from time to time. There's a nice character arc for Daniel, for instance, particularly in S5 and through to the beginning of S7. I'm not entirely convinced they did that on purpose, though.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

You hit the nail on the head, Katie. The reason I like ME shows and SG1 is the same reason why I enjoy the mystery novels of P.D. James and Charlotte MacLeod. Sometimes, one needs light, well-crafted fluff to balance out the heavier, more complicated stuff.

Although Stargate isn't brilliant, it is well done, and seems content to be what it is.

Yes, exactly.

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

Info for Stargate:Atlantis is up (premise and cast spoilers only).

Don Francks' son is in it!

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Hey, it's Dr. "Go suck a lemon!" McKay! I liked him, for all his asshatery behavior. Plus, he looks vaguely like a bastard love child of Nathan Fillion and Kevin Weisman (Marshall from Alias.)

D'oh. That's who he is. Couldn't remember -- forgot it was from Stargate itself.

Go him.

The chick used to date a guy I know. Met her once. Mesmerising voice.

We'll see how I feel about McKay. I'm still pissed with him on Sam's behalf, but so long as he doesn't call anyone a dumb blonde I may be able to be entertained by him.

As I commented to someone on lj, anyone who keeps the name "Rainbow Sun" has my respect.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

No Adam Baldwin? Sigh.

I'm assuming the Firefly movie put the kibosh on him being a regular. Maybe he'll guest-star on one series or the other from time to time.

Heh. His sister kept Cree Summer, so I guess they're a family like that.

Where the hell is she now, I wonder?
