I be home! And SGA rulez!

My mother-in-law hurt her back, so I got to come home early! Whoooo! Not for the injury but for the sleeping in my own bed, which I have sorely missed. Also my husband and my reliable internet access. Also beer. LOL

Guess what was waiting on me? The first two discs of SGA season one. My sister in law got me Netflix for a few months for my birthday and I've decided to use it for the good of Atlantis. LOL Let me say, I am impressed with the show. We watched the whole first disc tonight and I liked it a lot. Sheppard rocks! And so does McKay and also Dr. Weir and Rainbow BlahBlah whose name in RL and also the show are blanking on me. LOL What gets me the most is how spot on the humor is, even in these inaugural episodes; there's some good writing going on here. (I mean, much as I love, say, ST: TNG, SGA is far superior in its first episodes) I find all the characters compelling and interesting; Sheppard and Weir's fish out of water narrative is particularly interesting and anything that can kill Robert Patrick is obviously seriously bad ass and not of the good. *g*

Upcoming: birthday haul post and also SPN recs!

Update: I wrote a shit ton on "Mystery of Proud Typewriter" at my mama's. I guess that repressive environment is just conducive to porn. Ahhhaaahahhaa.

I really like all the characters; Dr. Weir is awesome. I love that she's a little out of her element. I mean, she's in charge of the mission and has been from the get-go, so she's clearly been trained to lead. But being trained to lead and then being in these life-or-death situations in which she is responsible for, say, maintaining the civil liberties of the Ethosians----much different. I also like that she's not afraid to make the tough decisions and that she also doesn't consider her emotions a liability.

Ford is awesome! He's so sweet and loyal and good at his job and funny. McKay kills me; I love that he is so flawed. I am a huge fan of flawed characters. Teyla I like, although not as well as Weir. I think because she's an alien, they've got the actress playing Teyla doing this sort of weird things with her mannerisms and etc to indicate that difference, and it hits me kinda odd.

Mostly, I'm just really impressed with the writing. The dialogue is great in this show and I did not expect that.

Yay! Beer!

I'm not a huge fan of Weir - although it might be that the later seasons with her have soured me a little bit. She's just - flat or something to me. But I like Teyla (and she gets less awkward over time), and Ford = good times! And McKay Of The Snark is enjoyable always!

Do you know of any good Ford slash stories?

[ana-grrl.livejournal.com]

...*sigh* no. Not offhand. It sucks. McKay/Sheppard exploded all over the fandom, and Ford kind of got pushed aside. I'll look around and see what I can find, though!

Well, if I find any, I'll be sure to share. :)

Thanks! I just made a post in my journal asking for recs, so maybe something will come out of that!
