Stargate SG-1

So far, this week about the TV season has ended, I've already found a couple of shows to follow in the summer.

Stargate SG-1
My husband loves science fiction. It makes up for the majority of his reading, and I've always said that if it's got a ship in it, he's there. So he's watched Stargate SG-1 for all of the ten years it's been on. I've only been really paying attention to it in the last two seasons because I'm a big Ben Browder fan. (Man, I still miss Farscape!) See, I actually saw the original Stargate movie, and I hated it. I couldn't get past that hatred (I still believe it's one of the worst movies I've ever seen, as much as I love James Spader) to allow myself to get into the TV show. I regret that now, I really do.

So SG-1 is going off the air this year, so I decided, as I often do when a show goes off the air, to catch up with it. (I did it with Friends the year it ended.) I've been enjoying it, but I'm a little peeved at Sci-Fi Channel for not airing them in order! Fortunately, though, I'm familiar enough with the SG universe that it isn't a huge disability, and I'm sure that I'll catch what I've missed later on.

I like the themes of the show, and I like the relationships. These two things are really what make great SF great. So I'll probably talk about it in the coming months.
