Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

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

I mean, yeah, unrealistic, but it's a heck of a lot less emotionally exhausting for me.

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.

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

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!

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.

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?

Gosh, I do hope we get to see more of Adam Baldwin in SG. I really dug his character (and not just because of the FF connection).

I still haven't seen the early S6 properly so I could be misrembering, but didn't McKay get his ass roundly kicked by Sam at the end? I remember him apologizing and conceding to her point or something like that at the end--and they worked together more or less in one of the episodes, right? Or am I on monkey crack?
