Right when I'd convinced myself email notification is a nifty thing after all, yahoo decides to die on me. For some reason I can't log in anymore. Tells me password is wrong but it's 100% correct. Yay.

But I watched lots of Stargate SG-1 this evening (needed to distract myself from The Pretteh) Am almost through with season 9 (love Mitchell. Am rather tempted to watch Farscape now) and rewatched a season 1 episode. Och, Daniel. You're the nerd of my heart.

How typical is it that right when I get into a show it gets cancelled?

SG-1 won't be renewed for an 11th season.

However Stargate Atlantis will so I guess that's something. Even though I'll probably miss Cameron, Sam and Daniel (sorry I just don't like Teal'c :-) ) more than I would miss the SGA cast.

So actually I don't watch season 10 of SG-1 yet because I kind of want to work my way up through all the seasons first but I did decide to watch the 200th celebration episode.

And oh my.

I haven't laughed that hard in ages. I was laughing so much I thought I would suffocate - oh, this was brilliant. The hints, the jokes, Wormhole Xtreme! - the wedding march being the SG-1 theme - Richard Dean Anderson! And in the end everyone going through the Stargate? Aaaw!

I know ratings have been bad for SG-1 so far but I do, do hope it'll get renewed. Cause, this show is so much love.

And Christopher Judge's/Pseudo-Teal'c's words at the end of the episode summed up so perfectly what I love about Science Fiction.

...when Samantha Carter tells Daniel something about anomalies, and you find yourself giggleling and muttering to yourself: "Nomalies! Nomalies!"

Yes, I have faith in the blue lady. And Colonel Mitchell is hot, like, seriously.

Okay, that was that.

Getting ready for the medieval fair in Telgte now, have a great Saturday y'all!

Oh dear, the original Stargate movie is on the telly!

Also, just saw SGA 3x03 and aaaaaw, Carson :-) What a fangirl :-)

When Daniel, geeky linguist and archeologist on SG-1, reads a text and tells his crew that "it's Middle-English, pre-Chaucer" and the information actually makes sense to you. Yay for geeks!

(This LJ will eventually feature a really real entry, someday, when or if this heat wave ever goes away. Because my brain just won't function properly this way)

So, recently I'm under the impression that there are quite some few people who complain about the characters in the Stargate universe, or the way things are going, how characters develop - or not - and frankly, I can't understand that.

To me, both SG shows are fun shows. I watch them for *gasp* entertainment. I've never expected to see great, new, mind blowing shows, pushing the limits of television. I've never expected to see broken characters that are constantly fretting over their lives. I've never expected to see story arcs that make you question religion, politics, or your own existence.

There's other shows for that, which I also watch happily.

But Stargate's become my "relax television". My fun shows. Give me an entertaining plot, a little snark between the characters and I'm happy. I never thought season two of SG:A was worse than season one. I don't think season three is even worse than that.

They're just... oh, I dunno,...fun?

(Sorry I was just informed today is a special date so, naturally, I really, REALLY have to do this. Sorry :-) )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR DANIEL JACKSON!!!

Yes I know I'm a geek. But it was too good not to do it :p

I shall now return either to my SPN fic or my SG-1 DVD.

Ever since I started watching Stargate Atlantis I've realised something: God, I love Science Fiction.

It never occured to me just how much I love that genre until I started watching SGA, the first sci-fi programme in years - and I literally had this "Thank God, finally a new Sci-Fi programme to watch." feeling. Would certainly explain why I always loved seaQuest and Star Trek. And stuff like Star Wars ALTHOUGH I'm not quote sure whether that isn't actually fantasy only in space.

I guess I find it so intriguing because it deals with what one day could be, or what lies out there in the universe, and that's thoughts I've been playing with ever since I was a kid. The thought that some of these things might be possible one day. How our society's going to change, for the good or the bad. How OTHER societies might be like. How not everything we claim is right naturally is. And because there's this component that we're not as special as we think, because there's maybe people far more advanced than we are.

And I love to see different people's visions. May it be utopias like Star Trek, where Earth is pretty much united and the enemy is out there, or dystopias like Firefly. I love the Stargate universe, where there's this gate to other worlds, other planets. And who's to say stuff like that don't actually exist, somewhere? Just because we say it's impossible it doesn't have to be.

Probably that's why I like Sci-Fi more than Fantasy. Fantasy always has this "But it never really WAS like that" touch to it wheras Sci-Fi is more real so to speak because it deals with things that one day might happen. Sci-fi is usually being regarded as something for nerds and geeks while I think, it's mostly for people who like to reflect on their own world...

It's just - fascinating, to quote Mr Spock here. :-)

P.S. And I need to watch Babylon 5

P.P.S: Started Stargate SG-1 a couple of days ago. Am now already on season two. *clears throat* Yeah.

P.P.P.S: GIP
