Several things I've been thinking about.

1. Thanks so much to spock74! I really appreciate the vgift, it just made my day! You just gotta love hugging teddie bears. : )

2a. Is a civil war in the SGA fandom inevitable? I mean, I still consider myself a n00b in the tortuous (GRE vocab) ways of fandom. I've been around Stargate for a little over a year and a half. Before that I flirted with Star Wars RotS but didn't really get involved in online politics. I'm just fascinated by all the goings on since we found out Sam was moving over to SGA. I'm pretty much a live and let live gal, but I'm just wondering if f-lists will be torn asunder over whether a person likes or dislikes Sam/Tapping.

Honestly, I've always preferred SG-1 to SGA even though I do enjoy SGA. On the other hand, I know that a lot of SGA fans don't like SG-1. I'm just curious if how a person came into the SGA fandom will predetermine some level of craziness in the OMG! SAM CARTER RUINED MY SHOW vs WTF? SHE'S WAY TOO GOOD FOR THAT DRIVEL fight.

This is a Sam friendly zone, but if Rodney doesn't stop being an idiot soon I'm gonna have to watch the show by peeking through my fingers while yelling "La, la, la, McKay's just in denial over how much in lust he is with Sheppard!"

3. I realized I'm going to miss Doppelganger on Friday and all the squee!again until I get home on Sunday. Geeze, why didn't I consult the SGA episode schedule before making my GRE appointment? I am obviously the dumbest human being in the world. : (

4. Did I tell y'all how much I enjoyed the movie The Game Plan? Cause I did. The Rock Dwayne Johnson is made of awesome, I don't care if the plotline is the most over-used ever. He did ballet, that's all I need to know.



5. Have any of you ever had an online arch-nemesis? Of course, it's actually all in my head - I'm nearly sure. I know how hard it is to get over a bad first impression in person let alone online, but I can't help me teeth going on edge every time I see a certain person post/comment. It's like no matter what it is, I always assume the worst of them. I was just wondering if I'm a freak or if this happens to other people too.

I do think the Sam thing could become a problem; I think it'll depend on how it's treated by the writers, frankly. I'm kind of mad that people were freaking out prior to the show even starting, because personally I'm waiting to see how it'll fall out.

I'm totally on board with the "McKay in denial" plan. I like both SG1 and SGA, but for different reasons, and I think there are different dynamics to the shows, so it'll be interesting to see how they fit her in.

On the other hand, though, I view them as part of the same canon - even aside from this year, the characters have appeared on the other show, and clearly are part of the same universe. My absolute favorite thing in fanfic is the crossover between the two.

Anyway, I'm waiting and hoping things go well, because I think that will make fandom more okay with things.

I don't think I'll hold my breath if we're depending on the SGA writers! But you're right I got tired of all the posts where people were claiming that their show was being ruined.

I love SGA/SG1 cross-overs. I wish they could do a movie with a combined cast, but man would that get expensive. As spinoffs go, the two shows together are not very cohesive, not like Buffy and Angel were. I get that some people like that, but I'd really have preferred some kind of mention or something during The Return that SG-1 was on base too. Would it have been so hard for John to have mentioned that he was jealous of all SG-1's important missions while he was stuck on babysitter duty?

I think Sam's gorgeous on SGA and I always liked her sense of humor. I hope they let that show in the next couple of episodes.
