Sci-Fi and SGA

[chase_acow]

First, I'd just like to say how much I don't love the way the previews for next week's episode gives away all the twists and endings. Jerkheads.

I read spoilers like crazy because I don't trust the writers not to do something extremely stupid ala Sunday, and I'd rather be warned before I watch something that bad. But still, it's neat to have a few twists in the episode that I don't know about.

Also, about last night's episode:

I really liked McKay vs Sheppard Round ???

They both really impressed me here fighting while under stress and managing to eventually be so adult about it. You can see how far they've come in the three years they've been together.

I really wish that Shep could keep command of Atlantis for a few episodes. He figures out how much it sucks to be the one in charge, gets a lot of paper cuts, and has no time to spend annoying Rodney, hanging with his team, or shooting things. Then when She-Who-Is-Either-The-Savior-Or-Bane of the SGA universe shows up, he can happily hand over the reins to her and go back to "railing against the man".

Of course, I'm not exactly sure how the actual writers are handling the transition of power, maybe they've got it under control.

*straight face*

No really.

: ) HA!


Also, I really liked the doctor that had to deal with Ronon. He was a breath of fresh air in a Weir/Keller I couldn't care less fest.

I miss SG-1. I had a dream about them pulling Season 11 out anyway, but it was made real cheap and the only scene I saw they were in a ka'tesh and Teal'c was running down the hallway in full Prime regalia.

I hated that preview for next week a LOT. Like, way to suck, there, TV people. Now I'm sad - I don't search out spoilers, but I don't avoid them, but I kind of don't like to be slapped in the face with what really could be the key scenes from next week.

Yeah, that sucked the fun right out of any twists the writers made. Maybe it'll turn out not to be a big deal, but the perception is. Sci-fi makes some really dumb decisions sometimes. It could be such a good network if it just tried a little harder with quality programs.

I can't believe that Flash Gordon is going to get better ratings than SG-1 would have

Oh, SERIOUSLY? I heard Flash Gordon was horrible, and didn't bother watching it because my SGA-watching partner and I are in the middle of trying to write this ambitiously long (for us, I never finish anything long) story, and we were making outlines and discussing needed scenes and characterizations and stuff.

Truthfully, I only watched a little bit of it, but there's no way, it's going to get the following SG-1 had or sell as much merchandise. I just don't believe it.

Good luck with your story! I hope it all works out!
