hollylolly posted:I guess not. Still, nerd girls like hot guys too, don't they? Ah well. Oh of course they do, but in general the average nerd girls are more awkward than the average nerd guys. Probably has something to do with the non-stop attention of being the only female in every one of their classes.  But more importantly, most people in general would rather someone who can say something more than "yeah" for a long term relationship. I wouldn't have blamed her for hooking up with Ronin for a fling though!  Anyway, I liked Ronin, I thought he was a great character.

For all we know, they use the contraction of "they" and "are" to imply ownership! Okay sorry I'm done.

Welp, I've reached the Teyla singing episode. It was the most awkward pause in an intense moment in an episode I've ever seen. This is just so out of place. I'm watching it as I type this and I'm just in awe that they thought this was a good idea. Did she blackmail someone? Atlantis is 10 minutes from exploding and Teyla is loving singing in at a funeral. what. the. gently caress.

I'll be honest. I actually liked that episode when I first watched it. Don't get me wrong, I realize that Teyla singing wasn't actually good, but it was weird and bad enough to make the episode really interesting.

I like this episode because it's basically a technobabble hour but it actually shows them trying out different things. On Star Trek Janeway would just suggest they try something and Tuvok will press a few buttons and save the day. On another note did they acknowledge 9/11 on Stargate?

I'm on Season 10 of SG-1 now. Not as good as the others, but decent enough to keep me entertained. Season 9 was decent as well. I liked 8 and all the previous seasons a lot more. It's all a big blur, so I can't really say which season(s) I like the most. After I finish season 10 I'll move over to Atlantis. I guess I should watch the movies as well, though I'm sure I'm out of proper viewing order already.

Watch the SG1 movies when you're done with SG1 and then you can move to Atlantis.

I'm half-way through "Uninvited", so I guess I'm technically 1/4 of the way through the season. From a quick glance at the wiki (didn't want to spoil anything) it looks like AoT finishes up the Ori arc. So that'll be nice. Seriously, gently caress the Ori.

The Ori arc wasn't nearly as bad as people say it is. As you say, it was still good enough for entertainment. I didn't really like AoT, but Continuum was pretty awesome.

Oh, my bad, I misinterpreted your post. My reading comprehension sucks. heh. Yeah, I liked the earlier stuff, but it was pretty much wacky adventures going through the gate each time. Which, is to be expected. Every time they found something cool and useful I was sitting there waiting for 'the catch'. I still enjoyed it all and they tied things together nicely. The last few seasons you can feel them shifting away from pure gate/new world/issues with the arcs. although still doing gate adventures now and then. I was expecting a big down slide in quality of the story and with Mitchell being introduced, but I've found it still enjoyable and peppy as usual. I don't really see Mitchell as that different from O'Neill. It's definitely been entertaining with some minor lulls here and there but I'm still way more impressed with it than I thought I would be. it's been a pleasant ride. Oh and gently caress the Rand and Caledonians. Those fuckers got what they deserved (from each other).

If they're not Origin follows then they are evil and deserved to die! There was nothing innocent about them. The Ori, Prior, the followers, it all just makes me hate religion (even more).

Mu Zeta posted:On another note did they acknowledge 9/11 on Stargate? I don't believe they ever outright mention it but it’s written into the franchise as occurring seeing as they have had both Mitchell and Shepard reliving fighting in Afghanistan through flashbacks and a hallucination respectively. Bit of trivia concerning 9/11 and Stargate though, on that day was when the main unit was beginning shooting of Menace from Season 5. Chris Judge (Tealc) asked to be kept out of shot during the scene where they discover Reece (the replicator making/controlling girl) as he was very distraught. If you watch it you notice he stays by the door in the room they find her in.

The last episode of Stargate: Universe is up on Hulu and the SGU thread is closed. Anyone interesting in reading posts from when it was first broadcast on TV can start here: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3345808&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=81 There seemed like a big plot hole in the final episode to me. They couldn't go off the path set by the seed ships because there were 300 billion stars in that galaxy and there would be no realistic chance of finding viable planets for resupplying. But the main problem was the power needed to reach the destination. Why couldn't they have just put most of the people in stasis and then made a 2 week jump with a skeleton crew to a viable sun well off the beaten path on the edge of the galaxy? They could have refueled and the power would no longer have been an issue. With power no longer an issue, they could have kept up life support in a small section of the ship and kept a small crew out of stasis on a rotating basis. They had enough food/water for 30 days for the whole crew. That should have been enough to keep 5 people alive for three years. My alternative ending is they made the journey and woke up to find themselves in a galaxy inhabited by reavers from Firefly. They were raped to death, had their flesh eaten, and their skin was used as clothing, but not in that order.

I finished SG-1 over the weekend and watched both movies. The movies were OK, basically feature length episodes, but decent over all. I really dug the series itself a lot more than I thought, as I said before. I started Atlantis and I'm just about half-way through season 1. It's average so far, but still early in the show so I'll keep on trucking. I'm not expecting anything super spectacular but I'm sure it'll hold my interest if it's anything similar to SG-1.

Yeah, that was a good two-parter. The last episode I watched was "Before I sleep", looks like it's episode 15. McKay is starting to grow on me. I'm sure he stays the same, he was an insufferable prick on SG-1 (which I'm sure was the point in the episodes he was in), so looks like he'll find his quirky little niche in Atlantis.

Yeah there's been some good stuff between them so far and I'm sure it gets better as roles go on. I liked McKay calling out Sheppard in Sanctuary with the whole 1967 Cpt. Kirk thing. I had a good laugh about that and it was well done.
