*grin widens...*

One thing, when alien peeps in Voyager or TNG all speak English, I cringe, in SGA I find it easier to wrap my head around- I guess it's the pulp-science fiction quality to it, and the cool sense of humour...

Voracious Chrisisall

He really is isn't he? Mainly due to his being the quintessential action hero, brains meets skill and brawn. He's proven many times he's just as smart as Rodney if not as educated.

Personally I believe he's an even better Hero type than Kirk. Also being portrayed by a better actor helps. No intentional knocks to the Shat but I've never been a huge fan of his.

I do believe Rodney calls him Kirk at least once.

Sweet.

Where'd you get it?

Nice to see a wraith. Is that Bob? My favorite Wraith character would have to be Todd though... one of these days they'll actually get around to revealing a wraiths true name.

Well you can count me on my own in regards to Lost as well. I quit watching that show at the end of last season. It's a waste of effort and time. Which are two things I don't like to waste anymore of. It started off promising but it's sad they just devolved into a show that's trying to be more deep and meaningful than what the writers are capable of doing. So they just make it look smart and not actually do anything. Sorta like a politician. Oh sure they sound pretty (usually) but that just means they are just talking BS.

Anyway, I'd forgotten how much I loved the recently rerun episode of Atlantis. Rodney getting high on the Wraith enzyme was priceless and another example of how amazing David Hewlett is. Also John's flight in the Dart was great, even the one bit that they nearly copied a style and scene from Star Wars.

Good job on the converts MerryK. Do they watch Firefly too? If you haven't seen it Eureka is also a great show to watch to sate a bit of Scifi, comedy,drama cravings. I as well am not a Farscape lover but I do enjoy the show most of the time. BSG and me do not get along together. I respect it though and we've both agreed to disagree

Anyway, so I guess you've already watched the episode with Teyla singing then Chrisisall? She's got a beautiful voice. Overall season 2 is probably the best of the series so far.

John:
"All right, all right, cool down. Geez, you guys are uptight. No time for laughs in the down-time?"

Lee:

I'm actually one of the fans who likes BSG because it is gloomy and miserable (amongst other reasons). I don't see why all shows have to have a sense of humour, like there is some kind of pattern or template to follow that says you can have the serious episodes but you need the light hearted ones as well.

SATEDA was simply awesome- one of THE BEST eps so far IMO!!! Ronon has taken on a fully human dimension for me now, plus: cool photography & editing. It was movie-quality TV. I loved the way Ronon was almost crying from the pain, but not of his leg- it was a moment where he allowed himself to feel his remembered loss in the guise of physical duress. Probably the only time he ever truly let his full feelings on the matter through in any real way..


PROGENY was fascinating and well acted & directed- this show just rocks (what's BSG again...?)

THE REAL WORLD was an obvious lift from a Buffy ep where she had a similar hard time from the world of magicks, but still, I liked it a lot.

But will this mean you'll watch it when it airs or will you still wait for the DVDs. I seem to remember you prefer watching TV on DVD.

That's if you ever come down from your high.

Yeah I would go with BSGs characters being more realistic than SGA but then it's not really the same type of show, is it, despite their obvious similarities.
As for better, I still wouldn't be certain, again because of their differences.
As for which I prefer, that would probably come down to whichever is showing at that time (so SGA at the moment). But I do have all of BSG on DVD but no SGA (yet). Maybe the answer is there.

For STRANGEBIRD

I can completely understand why people can't get into BSG because of the way it's made and because it's humourless. It can be a difficult show to watch at times. On several occasions I've found myself wanting to watch something lighter after an episode (Red Dwarf or Spaced usually do the trick). The real life gloom and doom doesn't help either and, as you say, TV is an escape away from reality, not something to remind you of it.

Jewel becoming a regular is great news and well deserved. Robert Picardo as well hopefully (he was the best character in Voyager, IMO), and is always a joy to watch.

And I'm also looking forward to the last couple of episodes. I've been kind of getting the feeling that we may be in store for a shock. Not just a cliffhanger but a real Woah! WTF moment. Don't know why I think that but I do.

I prefer commercial-less DVD, but if I get the SciFi channel (a possibility), I'll HAVE to watch as it comes out! (and BSG too, btw).
