thoughts about stargate

southpaw526 and i watched not nearly as much stargate as i thought we were going to--six or seven episodes, maybe? and we spent a while at target yesterday and got matching shoes <3.

there was much discussion of the unconvincingness of the obviously intended het relationships, like sam and jack's, and the scene in the s1 pilot where sha'uri grabs daniel for a sorta porny goodbye kiss, nevermind she doesn't know it's goodbye. (my quarrel with her stems from the movie, which isn't slashy, but the het isn't very convincing there either.) naina thinks the target audience accounts for much of the stupidity, which i'm sure it does. and stargate's a particularly good series for spackles, i think, being even more full of holes than star trek (which i hadn't previously believed possible). (speaking of spackles, naina didn't know what they were! hee!) but despite the huge onscreen chemistry between ms and rda, a lot of factual canon is against them. one can explain away the mirror universes where he's involved with sam if you don't believe anyone is destined for anything (like me. although it's a dangerous belief to try to hold onto in slash fanon). but the whole obsession with pretty wife as a rationale for going on all the missions ( is more thorny. )

indeed.

i'm copying this cd to my computer. mom owed me one for watching the cuddlebrat pint. and i have some more qaf to watch, but, but... blah! i feel so, like, nothing-to-do-ish... why did naina have to go!

in other news headlines:

-i'm in the middle of a new k/s. it's flawed, but interesting, thus far.
-most of the available sam/teal'c appears to suck. and there isn't a lot of it.
-holmes and watson are so in love.
-my british copy of hp was mailed the day before yesterday, but of course i'm going to re-read gof first, and that's after i finish the sherlock holmes collection. i can see i'm going to get really tired of hearing about it before i get around to reading it.
-i think it is lunchtime.
-more richard dean anderson/michael shanks coming later in the day. and meanwhile, here's the official announcement of the archive (well... heh) for said pairing. 20 year itch. <3
