ferris wheels, college football, & things that go more than 200 mph

Jfc I totally just watched the Stargate Atlantis pilot and it was a HUGE MISTAKE because I am full of due South levels of happyglow.

Really, though. John Sheppard is my boyfriend! I friendship him and Teyla so hard, and I leadership him and Weir more than I thought I would, and I am preemptively brokenhearted about both Weir and Ford, augh. (But then there is Ronon! Am I planning to skip like half of s1 in order to get to Ronon faster & have lots of TEAM? Why yes probably!) I am almost helpless to not watch the second episode right now because that's the one with the personal shield and John throwing Rodney off balconies and things! John's speshul speshul Ancient gene and the way the city wants to date him make me so happy. Wraith and their wacky organic hiveships make me so happy. (I want Wraith hiveships and Cylon basestars to hang out.) In conclusion I am screwed, not least because I was (am!) resolutely not taking any TV with me over Thanksgiving break.

I really am completely incoherent about this. When it is a more reasonable hour I'm sure my priorities will be saner and not include things like "Make a list of all the episodes that are not actually skippable." Even when it is a more reasonable hour, though, I'm pretty sure my priorities will still include "Write lots of Sheppard/Kowalski puddlejumper sex," but I think that's okay.

If I tell myself that a rewatch is in fact my sneaky way of preparing to move to Madison because it will assist me in speaking the local language, that makes it a more valid use of my time, right??

YEEEEEEES. Of course, all my responses on this topic are enabling responses.

:DDD

Question! Are there particular episodes that you think I should watch? I went through and made my own list, which covers all five seasons and comes to 29 episodes total and is compiled with complete ignorance re: s5. I am interested in good team interaction and am not much concerned with Wraith and am even less concerned with Replicators, if that helps.

I can certainly make a list! Maybe I will do that tomorrow? It's almost easier for me to make an "avoid these episodes" list. I'll see what I can do.

Either works! And no rush, because while I'll probably have some time for watching episodes, I'll be doing it fairly slowly.
