I wonder when the point will come that I cannot watch Rising ever ever again. For [livejournal.com profile] legoline it's almost an injoke. She says noone's seen it more than me! Not that it matters much. But Monday night, I decided that rewatching Stargate Atlantis Season One is a really good idea and I plopped in the DVD into my laptop.

I lovelovelove this pilot so much! It's when I fell for John and to a degree, Rodney. It's when I decided that Stargate might not be that crappy after all. It was almost like coming home to an old lover. And it had Jinto and Stackhouse (what happened to that guy, mmm) and Craig and the chair and well..I just love the whole thing to bits.

That said, I was veeery sorta fannish this weekend and made a ToDo list for all my challenges and prompts and stuff. I'm participating in

Also, I read some wonderful fic and got some recs for you to take a look at.

  • First is a John and Ronon music vid called Red Sun, which is really the best music video I've seen in a long time. It's simply, not many effects in it, no boombast, but it's realyl awesomely cut and the scenes were well chosen and I love the music a lot. I don't want to say more because I think it might give to much away.
  • The Mona Lisa Box is a Sarah Connor Chroniclas/Stargate Atlantis, McShep crossover which merges the two universes and has great characterization.
  • a ficlet with cuteness overload and icecream!
  • Books are hot: The John Sheppard Book Club
  • Sleepless, which is Sleepless in Seattle Atlantis style with Great phone conversation and characterization.

Also, [livejournal.com profile] sophie0 as completely hooked me on Rome. God Rome, I feel like pulling out my hostory books. If you haven't seen it, it's really good and even though you know what is going to happen, it's really suspenseful. And it's got Mark Antony and Pullo. *grins*

We also watched Juno in the cinema ysterday and that was such a great movie. Go watch it if you can :)

I'm also doing a Sarah Connor Chronicles Lims community. If anyone has pointers or ideas for that I'd be most happy.

Oooh, Childhood's End! :D Remember back when everyone kept writing Sheppard as suicidal (or so it seemed)? I always wanted to slap them around the face with Childhood's end and "it'd have to be really necessary". I loved that, and Sheppard's development over the first season, because by the end of the season he does arrive at a point where it's "really necessary". *loves*

Yeah? I missed tha part of fanfom because I started watching when season 2 aired, I think around Trinity.

I think it stems from the "He's fucked up" thing people have that you could partially see sometimes but it just doesn't make sense if you take in all of canon.

And I agree.

A lot of weird things went on in this fandom when it exploded - which was not so long before you joined. 2005 was a weird year that way. Suddenly everyone was into SGA! *g*

And yes on the not making sense if you don't just pick out isolated bits.
