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. : )

2. GIP

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'm totally with you on the embarassement thing. I download episodes from thi internet and can therefore stop and click forward and I've yet to watch the moment they tell Rodney he's not the new boss (I really don't think he should be and I really don't think he'd want to be either it was kind of like the writers made that up to have that horribly embarassing comic relief.) I also had to stop like every 4 words through Sam's "speech" because the whole scene was so ridiculous. (I mean there were like 20 people there?) I was close to skipping in the flower scene when Ronon came in (thankfully!, even though I think he was a little over the top too. Not in the essence of his actions, but in the "acting" itself.

I like Sam too and I'm not dreading to see how things develop. (I've seen ep4)

I thing 3.03 had this potential to be a very dark and sad episode, but the writers put in too much comical stuff that didn't really fit.

Sometimes I can over look random stupid things they have to do in the SGA shoot because of time/money/logistics like such a low, lame turnout for Sam's induction speech. Ronon was way on the offensive with Sam, we haven't seen that in a while, so it might be a little ooc, but I can get past that too.

but the writers put in too much comical stuff that didn't really fit

God love the SGA writers, because not too many other people do. They take the stories with Lucious and ham them up when they would have been so much better if they had treated the serious text with the weight that it deserved. Sometimes the humor is way too slap stick or at the characters expense.
