You know I love me some Stargate, but, um, no. No, I'm with you.

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

Not better than Farscape, Angel, Buffy, Firefly, X-Files... Fun, yes. Competent and mostly engaging? Yup. Brilliant? Very very rarely.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Given that one of his bests was Broca Divide, I probably let the conversation go on too long. But I was so excited to find someone who knew some of the ep titles.
His opinion of Buffy was that it started to suck when the others started getting powers. "When Oz got bit?" "Exactly."
Maniac.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Sitting with ita, Katie, and Conseula.
Too funny. Ah, well, as long as he's happy. Misguided, but happy.

Art Crawl!!!
Yes, very misguided.
Of course, given where we are right now, it might be difficult to find somebody here who agreed with him!

I just watched The Peacekeeper Wars. It made me cry.
That is all.

Mo-om! Jessica's taunting!
...I don't really mind. (Was there hotness? And leather pants?)

Yes to both.
But I really can't give away any spoilers.
The pacing in the first half-hour is a little off, because they're trying to take things slow enough for new viewers to catch up. But once it gets going, it goes good.
(And, honestly, I'm not sure any new viewers are going to have a frelling clue what's happening, even with all the exposition. I think they could get sucked in by the characters, but I just watched S4 last week, and the plot still lost me in a few places.)

Jessica, I hate you. Just so you know.
And I never believed they'd be able to make sense of the backstory for new viewers. It's just way too dense with wormholes and the PKs and the Scarrans and Chiana's blindness and the jujubes, not to mention the whole twinning/love story thing.
But I'm surprised review copies are out there already. I fear that the serious spoilers will be showing up soon.
