gack!

There was new Bones and nobody told me?

In other news, sjhw_tolerance thinks I should watch SGA: The Prodigal, so I'm downloading it. I'm in two minds about when to watch it, though. I suspect that me being me, and the Stargate writers being the Stargate writers, it would be safest to watch it after I've finished my wordcount for the day.

Since the planned wordcount by the end of tomorrow is somewhere in the region of 15K (in line with the expected wordcount for Day 9 of NaNo), and my planned wordcount by the end of the night is somewhere in the region of 10-11K tonight (Write Or Die - it's gonna save my bacon)...it'll be tomorrow night, my time, before I get around to watching it.

And after the initial, "Hey, an episode that I might possibly like!" reaction, now my gloomy, depressive side is saying, "Yeah, but you're going to be disappointed: this is Stargate! It might be fun to play with, but when has it ever lived up to expectation? Really? No, really? Especially when it's about Teyla."

Anyway, it's downloading, so it's there if I decide to watch it.

Given how much heartbreak I've been getting out of Stargate and its "Coloureds Need Not Apply" mentality in canon and fanon, I'm ambivalent. I was doing a reasonable job ignoring the show, too.

you should watch the show, this episode might surprise you.

[tielan]

So I'm hearing. I'll watch it later tonight, after I've filled my NaNo Quota for the day.

I got wrangled into babysitting my little niece and nephew last night so didn't get to see the ep. Will be curious to see what you think of it!

[tielan]

So you have seen it or you haven't (yet)?

I usually use you, azure_horizon, and kristen999 as bellwethers for the various aspects of SGA, with the occasional input from madjm, allisnow, and greenconverses (all of whom are much more infrequent watchers of SGA this season).

I guess I'll be watching - a lot of people seem to think that I should 'waste my time' with this one.

Dude. I know what you mean. I'm doing NaNo this year as well (first time), and I still haven't watched "Inquisition" even though I downloaded it a week ago, for the same reason. I think it'll screw with my Muse, and I'm not even writing fanfic. I'm way behind on my wordcount and can't afford any delays.

I do really want to see how they resolve the whole Michael drama, so I might watch it ("Prodigal") this weekend.

This. Exactly this. And I'm terrified that if I stop and watch SGA, I'll get thrown off-course for my story. Plus, the disappointment factor is always strong with the show.

*cheers your NaNo on*

Thanks. :)

I just watched "Prodigal," and I second that it's an episode you should check out above all others. (I actually skipped "Inquisition" in favor of it) It was quite impressive. Not perfect, but there were a lot of things that I didn't expect to see, am pleased I did, and made me squee! as well as go "huh, interesting" at various points.

[madjm.livejournal.com]

It wasn't the greatest episode ever, but it's definitely worth seeing. Maybe my favorite episode this season, which has been fairly blah, imo.

And it's not really a spoiler to say: Teyla=badass.

[tielan]

I've stopped looking for the best episode ever - the one where they actually explore all the interesting things of the show, instead of stroking their white, male, geeky egos.

Actually, your comment about "not the greatest episode ever" just started off the negative curve again. It's always a bad idea to try to moderate my optimistic instincts: my depressive instincts take care of that naturally...

[madjm.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I guess I should've stuck with "my favorite episode this season." :)

It's a good Teyla ep.

[tielan]

Will watch it later.

[greenconverses.livejournal.com]

From the things I've been hearing, I definitely want to go and download the ep now. I don't think I've watched an episode since Whispers.

[tielan]

Well, I gave up even earlier than that, although I downloaded The Shrine and The Queen. Beyond that...no, I can't bring myself to watch it. Maybe someday when my bitterness has died down...

[live-brave.livejournal.com]

The latest ep. of SGA is worth watching because Teyla kicks ass and takes names. :D And Ronon steals the scenes he's in. Not the best episode ever but definitely worth a watch.

Good luck with NaNo!

*points emphatically* Yes! This! He totally does. XD
