So Stargate: Atlantis ended today and I'm already going into withdrawal. I am going to miss this serial terribly. I loved the cast. There was so much chemistry between them. And the over-the-top Action Hero Parodies along with disagreeable Canadian engineer and doctor played by Jewel Staite (*swoon*) was just the most incredible combination ever.
At least it was a good final episode.
Hell of a final episode.
Much more satisfying than the ambiguous ending to SG-1 or the terrible sappy claptrap Star Trek keeps feeding us in finales.
So anyone else love Stargate?

What network would #CSN be on?
...Atlantis was much better than the original Stargate. I suggest getting it on DVD if you can. It's really seriously amazing, there's so much chemistry with the cast.
Especially in the last couple seasons, with Jewel Staite and Robert Picardo as recurring characters.

Never got into it, eh?
It took me about half a season to really get drawn in. Once the actors started settling into their roles, though, it was just amazing.
But then I'm a character actor myself so I really react well to good acting and directing, even when the stories aren't overwhelming.

OMG, Jewel Staite is hot. ;D I LOVED her in Firefly.
Unfortunately, I never did get into the Stargate series' that came out after the movie. I've always wanted to, but just never took the time to do it. I think I need to, someday, though.

www.tv-links.cc/tv/stargate-atlantis.htm#Streaming video! Just a tip, the v.sina.com.cn movies are the best. Direct Link to season 1. How I deal with the waiting period inherent to buying DVDs on Amazon. Also legal, thanks to a technicality in copyright law! Anyway. Take a look at some point. It's very good stuff. And Jewel Staite is indeed hot. Although I thought she was hotter on Firefly than elsewhere. Not just because I loved Firefly, but she looked good with about 10 extra pounds of muscle. Really did. Don't know why she didn't keep it, frankly.

Ah, the Irish.
You know in the Agatha Christie novel "Sad Cyprus" a British court throws out an Irish woman's evidence because she's Irish and therefor "prone to wild exaggerating"? I giggled at that for almost ten minutes straight.
I'm not sure if that's ever been done, but Agatha Christie is awesome either way.
