Waaa! I don't want to be at work! I have too much good TV to watch.

Thanks to scifi's marathons, I now have the first half of season 9 of SG1 and season 2 of Stargate Atlantis on tape, both of which are starting new episodes this evening. And I have the fourth/third season of due South on DVD. And if that weren't enough, trinityvixen just lent me season 1 of Battlestar Galactica. All of this is a conspiracy designed to prevent my ass from ever leaving the couch.

But instead of being at home enjoying this fannish bounty, I have to be here earning a living. Life is truly unfair.

::shakes head:: You don't have to tell me it's wrong for me to know it. I just can't help what hormones decide for me. Plus, like I said, I haven't seen enough of either Stargate series to make character judgment the forefront of my reasons for liking someone.

But while we're on the subject--when does Johnny Farscape (aka Ben Browder) come into SG-1 and can I just skip however many seasons between the start and that point?

Ben Browder shows up season 9 (to replace Richard Dean Anderson). I would say - no, you can't jump in there for two reasons. One: though they introduce a new villain to replace the Goa'uld, there is still a ton of backstory that will make things difficult to understand. Two: this is not the show at its best.

Merde.

I'd say more, but have been attacked by cramps and am awful uncommunicative. Fortunately, this is not an uncommon thing at work (the not-talking, not the cramps). But the 'merde' pretty much covers it, no?

I also have to point out that the first four or so episodes with Ben Browder also have a very sexy Claudia Black - who is going after Daniel Jackson whole hog. It's a little weird to have the two of them on screen together and not paying any real attention to each other.

Yeah, tell me about it. When we watched the last episode of Battlestar Galactica that was new (BEFORE TODAY THAT IS!!!), I happened to see that one of the marines (not previously shown before--no spoilers! no spoilers!!!) is Cade Foster from the Sci-Fi 'classic' First Wave. I needs must tell Michelle about that, but it is really odd when they pop up on different shows like that in general...If Crichton and Aeryn are ignoring each other, my heart might break.
