Loving Stargate season 9. I've only seen the first DVD (I'm waiting on the 2nd one from Netflix today), but it's great so far. I didn't think that I'd like it with Richard Dean Anderson gone and Beau Bridges in charge, but I like the turn it has taken. All things must change, and for better or worse, this world has. Although Ben Browder's Cameron Mitchell (grrrawh! what a hottie!) is essentially the same guy as John Chricton from Farscape, Claudia Black's Vala is wonderful. In the episode "The Ties that Bind" where she is "joined" with Daniel Jackson, someone suggests that unless the bracelets can come off, the best thing for them to do is get married. To that she answers with a cheesy grin, "Let's have BAY-bies." It was so hilarious, I had to watch it about three times.
I've been watching the first season of Eureka as well. I started with the beginning of the second season, but Sci-Fi played a lot of first season episodes yesterday morning. I recorded them and watched the pilot and second episode. It's great to see how it all started. It is now my hope to be Eureka's dumbest resident. There's got to be something I can do there. Perhaps they need a yarn shop. Hmmm.

SG-1 Season 7 commentary
I've been watching plenty of Stargate Season 7, but no writing whatsoever.
I bought the latest issue of StarLog, and it had a large article about the SG finale. For the past five years or so, they've all been ready to pack their bags on a moments notice, and it finally came. It's so hard for a cable show to get good ratings these days. Any show really. A lot of people have DVR, and they don't want to watch the commercials. I've been spoiled because I've seen all the other seasons on DVD, so I can just crunch them out in no time.
I'm loving season 7! Samantha has a relationship, Daniel is back, Teal'c has a sense of humor, and O'Neill's humor is sexy as he refers to "playing one on TV." There are these wonderful quips everywhere about how they are all just playing a game. In the episode where Sam gets a boyfriend, she's humming the theme song in the elevator! I love it.
The episodes "Heroes" are good because of their humanizing soldiers and making the front lines real. Saul Rubenick is great as the filmmaker who sticks his nose where it's not welcome, and the whole performance by everyone was great.
Looking forward to Seasons 8-10,

Stargate Finale
Tonight was the series finale of Stargate SG-1. Although I am a recent convert to the show and am only on season five disc 4 (0f 5), it's still the end of a great show. Sci-Fi is planning on releasing two movies next year though. If Dish Network doesn't fix the problem with my satellite, I'll stick to using the library for the series and Netflix for the movies.
Yes, I'm behind on my Sci-Fi show watching, but it wasn't until recently that I had no shame in expressing my geek-ness. And a lot of the loss of shame was with help and encouragement from Chuck. xoxo to him. In the past year and a half I caught up on Deep Space 9 and Voyager; watched Firefly and Serenity; finally saw all of the Superman movies (number 1 is the best, number 3 sucks, watch the Richard Donner cut of number 2); have gotten through all of Farscape, including the movie; saw the first 5 seasons of Stargate SG-1; dressed as Trillian to an event with my co-workers (with Chuck as Arthur Dent); have researched going to Cons; and started this blog. I'm doing pretty well.
Next on the viewing list is Buffy and Stargate Atlantis.
Long Life and Prosperity,

I had the bright idea to start this post because people are surprised that I like Sci Fi. Well, here's back at ya. I like Stargate SG-1, Farscape, Star Trek (DS9, TNG, VOY, ENT, TOS in that order) Star Wars, Firefly, Buffy, Hitchhiker's Guide, and many more that I can't think of, or haven't seen yet.
