Surfing

I was surfing around, looking for any online deals for Christmas when I came across more recent SG-1 covers.

Now, I'd only seen the old covers, so the redesign to these gave me a shock. But they are neat. They have more of a sleek, stream-lined feel, and a sci-fi edge.



I'm not into the franchise anymore, but these brought a smile to my face. I'm happy with my old ones though :)

I definitely think when you jump into a show can pattern how you view the show.

With X-Files, I started in S1, gave up after a bad episode, but came back in S2. So I watched it as it aired for most of the series. My fave seasons are easily S1-4. But some of my fave episodes aired in S5 and S6.

I started watching SG-1 in S7, but I was watching the reruns at the same time. S4 in reruns is what hooked me, so I have a fondness for it. I do love the early seasons best, though.

I wish I could have liked Vala. I hate her character, LOL. I really liked Cameron though. And Ben Browder is mighty fine to look at.

I think maybe if they hadn't kept changing Vala to suit the story and left her as an antagonist/gray character who was recurring and had introduced Cameron a bit different AND not had such a crappy plot, the later seasons of SG-1 might have fared better with me. Alas, they did not and the overall story and writing just was too bad for me to denial it anymore :(

Funny, with Smallville, another show I watch, the show was pretty good in the early seasons, became remarkably terrible in its middle seasons, and I find it once again very strong and compelling in its final season. But that might be the nature of a show where you know how it ends.

I know SPN is pretty divided right now on that show, but I'm loving this season. I could do without soulless!Sam, but everything else is fascinating me :)

Then again, I love monsters and they were my fave part of XF :)

I love this season of SPN, too. I mean, it's not perfect, but I'm interested in seeing where they go with it. And hell, they seem to have discovered a good balance with plot progression. There's actual forward momentum, and resolution of smaller mysteries before they go on to the next one.

I'll be happy when we get regular Sam back, but I have to admit that now that Souless!Sam is out of the closet, I kinda like him. (Maybe it's just my allergy to angst).

I'm not against Soulless!Sam as part of the plot, since the pacing and story this season have been so good. I'm just to the point where I want real Sam back. So I hope he shows up soon :)
