first thoughts on SGA

[fahye]

Today was largely spent at tammaiya's, discovering Stargate: Atlantis. All vile enablers such as villainny and setissma can stop looking smug.

OPINIONS:

- It was so relaxing to just sit back and watch a skiffy show that isn't taking itself all that seriously, and doesn't expect YOU to take it seriously, and doesn't really give a crap about big issues or romance or impressive plot arcs as long as you'll laugh at the witty banter and go ooh at the cool makeup. Plus, stuff blows up with laudable regularity, and the shooting of guns happens practically every episode. Thumbs up.

- Sheppard could probably communicate entirely effectively if you took away all of his features save his eyebrows. And maybe his hair. His hair seems integral to him as a person.

- Ford is really, really cute. Except I keep misreading the actor's name in the opening credits as Rainbow Sun Flecks which, I don't know, sounds like a flavour of icecream. Maybe hallucinogenic icecream. (Though you've got to hand it to a guy who starts an acting career with a name like RAINBOW SUN and doesn't adopt a stage name. I guess it's...memorable?)

- And yes, of course I adore Rodney, though I kind of love Carson too. I could listen to the show's hilariously inaccurate science-babble for hours as long as it was delivered in his Scottish accent.

That's all. Engage me at will for anything less shallow.

SG:A is the light-hearted yin to BSG's I-don't-even-want-to-live-anymore yang.

It is! It's the anti-BSG. I can just switch off all parts of my brain except for those required to process snark. (With occasional dips into medical morality! That was good fun.)

TWINS.

Rainbow Sun Francks is on STARGATE? That's hilarious! He's Canada-famous with kids of a certain age (ie, me) for being a video jockey/program host on Canada's equivalent of MTV for two or three years.

You have found SGA. Life is almost complete.

Now you must find Sparky :D

BWAHAHAHAHA!!

I'm so pleased. I mean, yes, eventually I will get into BSG too, but still - I'm always made so very happy by the crapitude of SG:A that I can't help but want to share. :D

Uh, the ICON ON THIS POST.

[bantha-fodder.livejournal.com]

UGH SCREW YOU LJ.

NO NO. I was referring to the fact that my icon was entirely irrelevant to the post, but as I have no SG:A icons and am currently on a TWINS kick, I used it anyway.
