sumi, I love the Sean Bean promo. I should record it.
What I don't love about BSG is almost entirely overshadowed by what I do love. I think this may be because I had no expectation (before the mini) that I'd like it even one little bit. I don't know why I thought that; I just did. I was wrong. Yay!
I think I read somewere yesterday that more eps had been ordered. But it was very much in passing, and I wasn't really focused on it. I hope I read right anyway.
ETA: Jars, hee! You see them ahead of us, yes? I didn't recognize the SG-1 title, so I'm guessing yes. Can't wait.
Jars, hee! You see them ahead of us, yes?
SG-1, I think yes. Aquarium I'm not sure. I think Sky One over here and Sci-Fi over there are airing them in a different order, which is already confusing me, quite frankly.
Jars: Oh, God, is Citizen Joe awful? Tell me if it's awful. I've been pre-emptively wincing ever since I saw what they were doing; it just seems very, very likely to go horribly wrong, and piss me as a fan off.
Katie,
no, it's not awful.
As clip shows go, it's pretty good in fact. It had me laughing out loud at quite a few points. But it's definitely one of the 'check your brain at the door' SG episodes. It's also kind of geared towards fans as opposed to the casual viewer, though I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.
Okay, thanks. I've been prepping myself for it being a Let's Make Fun Of The Fans Fest, so I'm glad to hear not so much.
Brain-checking is noted. Man, I'm glad the one-offs are over and stuff is going to start happening again. I suspect brain-checking will still be required, but at least they'll be blowing stuff up!
Hmm, yeah,
see that's the thing. There's definitely moments where they poke fun at the fans a little. But they poke more fun at themselves, I think, so it all balances out.
Well, I guess I'll see how I feel about it, then. There's a way to do that good-naturedly, but the SG-1 PTB haven't been very good at it in the past, and frankly I'm not impressed by showrunners who feel the need to smack the hand that feeds them.
Mind you, there are some real whackaloons in SG-1 fandom. But still. it's rude.
FYI: I just got a letter from Adelphia, with a forward from MGM about torrenting Stargate Atlantis. It got my cable internet shut off temporarily, and they say the next time I get caught it's for good.
Just so's you know they're looking.
Thanks for the heads up.
Dammit, just when I found out this thing was possible.
Is Adelphia like Azureus?
