I absolutely was not going to watch this episode (it’s one of my favourites, of course, but I was concentrating on watching old episodes I haven’t seen in a while), but then on the DVD I saw it was with Flanigan AND Hewlett. How could I pass the chance??

I actually only saw this episode once, and a while back, so it’s all new watching it. I’m disappointed the commentary is with the writers and not the actors, but it does give some insight so it’s interesting all the same. As usual, I’m watching it with the captions to follow the story and the audio tuned into the commentary. So on to my thoughts:

So I'm watching this ep with very negative expectations from what I can gather from the teasers, and what I got from the reactions of other LJers. Let's see how it turns out. Sorry if my quotes are not exact, I always have trouble understanding the subtleties of english tv shows. I usually need the captioning! So there will probably be mistakes. Sometimes for the best :P ( On to the boring, rambling, pointless commentary... )

Whoo! I made icons! 8 icons behind the cut!

I will definitely try and write in here more, in the random chance that someone is reading. I've been commenting a lot (I try to comment on every story I read and enjoy, but I'm not that good... yet) and in case someone comes to check my lj out to see if I'm worth talking to, well... I don't want to scare them away too, too much. Yes, I'm emo. Well, not really, but mental illness obliges. I've been really well lately (as in the past year) so it's not much of an issue on this lj anymore. Soooo I've rather become obsessed with Stargate Atlantis. And I mean, so obsessed it hurts and I don't have time to watch all the episodes I want to, and read everything I want to, and write everything I want to.

I've also discovered podfics which are the next best thing after the internet. Possibly.

I think I'll start recommending fics for my own reference. I found out that recs are very useful in going through a million fics.

Also, is the SGA fandom made only of slashers? I'm all for McShep, but I'm kindof wondering where everything else is? Or is that the downside of browsing one lj to another through the flist, staying in the same 'circle'? I feel like the SGA fandom is a close-knit group of maybe 20 people who all know each other, and I don't think I'll ever be able to be accepted in it!

But what's even more interesting is the sociolinguistic depth of fandom. Such a special language and I'm starting to understand it. I want to write my Master thesis on the sociolect of the Stargate fandom. Think anyone would finance that?
