Just finished watching Fight Science MMA. Nice

[Kevin Thomas Riley]

I have just watched the first two episodes of Rome season two, which finally started airing over her. So far so good.

[Reanok]

I watched the Stargate Atlantis new episode and an old Stargate show with Richard Dean Anderson where they live the same day over again. Only O'neil and Tealc were the only ones who happened to remember what happened in the previous timeframes.it was funny.

"Window of Opportunity" was the SG1 episode, awesome show

Me! Me! I never got any as a kid. I was the dorky one with the empty bag except for the ones from the teacher and the librarian.

Well at least you did better than me then even the teachers hated me. (And I never used the school library )

The librarian was my best friend. I used to miss the bus on purpose so I could stay in the library and visit. Then I had to walk home, but it was worth it.

Not me... like aside from being dyslexic and having a hard time with books in the first place, by the time I finished my school day I'd be like so totally exhausted and starved because this girl Sabrina used to steal my food every day and I didn't wanna stay there a minute longer (well I hated school and everyone at school including teachers hated me anyway) plus the bus ride back was long too, like my school days were so long it would be dark by the time I finished (well like unless it was summer and then it wouldn't be *quite* dark yet ).

And like THEN I'd get back from school and my parents would start yelling at me and punishing me because I "never do anything" and I "don't study hard enough" and they "work hard to support the family" etc etc (in their "full time" 40 hours a week comfortable office jobs ) and you know what that's like totally unfair, so like yeah they were each giving their 40 hours a week AND getting paid for it, hell I was pulling 53 hours a week at school because I was the only one at school who took ALL the honors including every possible elective, everyone else had like half days or finished at like 2:30pm or had lots of free periods to go home and come back etc, I had non stop classes all frelling day (with lunch time of only 10 minutes... not that I had food ) and I was at school before my parents would even wake up in the morning and I got back like after everyone (including parents) had been home for hours and already finished eating dinner. GAH.

Parents... don't knock school as if it doesn't count... otherwise what are you sending your kids to school for

"Window of Opportunity" was the SG1 episode, awesome show

Yeah it was an awesome episode. I so miss SG1

[Elessar]

yeah, I"m not usually the type to get down on the new rotation of shows - for example I was never a TNG purist who hated Voyager or Enterprise, nor an SG1 purist who hated Atlantis, or a BSG purist who hated nuBSG, or an XF purist who hated Dogget and Reyes... But LATELY, Atlantis has turned to absolute poop. I couldn't even get through the last episode, and it's disappointing because they did it to themselves. They took a couple of very obvious, deliberate course changes in Atlantis that has made it suck: 1. Killing Dr. Beckett, 2. Introducing Carter as a leadership figure, 3. Getting rid of Dr. Weir, 4. Making Teyla pregnant, and 5. Just doing lame, episodic stories that don't connect back to the Ancients... the Wraith get boring after awhile. Oh I forgot about getting rid of Ford AND abandoning the Michael storyline!

The other thing is that Atlantis has very rarely - if ever - managed to produce any of the iconic episodes that SG1 had. That's what I realized the other day when SG1 came on. Even though with SG1 you're talking about 10 seasons, it had a lot of episodes that maybe were about the overall mythology or maybe weren't - but tons that were fantastic, stick out in viewers' minds: Disclosure, Solitude, Window of Opportunity, the Tokra episode where they had to admit their feelings, the episode where Daniel died the first time and ascended, "The Fifth Race" where we meet Thor and the Asgard, the "antarctic dog fight" episode where O'Neal TOTALLY could have died and it would have been one HELL of a heroic ending, the Moebius 2-parter that could have easily ended the show on a tremendous high note - just to name a few.

Atlantis just hasn't had these, and it disappoints me because it had such great potential. It has had one or two... I just can't put my finger on them. They need a serious turn around, a likable 'ship (Ronon and the new Doc just might do), re-introduce one of the missed, loved characters: Weir, Ford, or Beckett - and get back to arcs.

[evcake]

the Wraith get boring after awhile

Amen

[TPoptarts]

But still even if they do all that on SGA it's not gonna bring SG1 back

Watching: Silent Enemy. Pineapple cake and beer - gah
Finishing: Valentines. Gotta mail 'em tomorrow.

Hey, T'Poptarts, 40 hours a week at an office can be very stressfull! I certainly can give you some examples! It doesn't sound like you appreciated your parents or that they appreciated you. That is very sad. You are a person well worth knowing, and your parents are PEOPLE too. Unless there is actual abuse in a family situation, it is so sad when parents and children don't take the time to know each other.

Ooooh, goody!

I never said 40 hours a week in an office wasn't like stressful or that I didn't appreciate it. Just that it's not fair that they think that their jobs and their lives count more than mine, and like okay I didn't have like an after school job but school IS full time job, at least mine was and with all due respect to the fact that they both work hard to support the family, waving that "we have full time jobs" card just doesn't work here. Like I may not have a "job" and I may not get paid (hell I didn't even have allowance ) but school is plenty hard work already (not to mention the tons of homework I got) and spending 53 hours a week in a place where everyone hates me (well and then going back to a home where everyone hates me ) studying like a million different subjects in the highest possible levels is really stressful too. It's just not fair that no matter what I do my parents would always consider it as unimportant dren.
