So I'm kind of research watching for a thing

[sapote]

And John Sheppard just called a planet's entire historical way of life "that crap".

I LOVE THIS SHOW. IT IS SO FUCKED UP

Who wants to help me research-watch? I would like to make a list of the Top Ten Atlantis is Colonialist episodes for seasons 1 - 3. The Tower is pretty far up there, but I especially want anything where they're all "we have the gene, neener neener" while dealing with a well-established civilization.

I will not be too rude about your show on this already rude-to-shows thread? But we got fresh Voyager on home-taped VHS for a year or two.

It felt like eating styrofoam for breakfast cereal. I'm sorry. I fail at nerd.

If we lived in a closed society of my own devising, I could have shunned you for that. Be glad we do not live in phnelt amishville.

You wouldn't shun me. I make you nice things.

Look, it probably is secretly the ickiness of fanning a show where my mother has OTPs. She cries over Riker/Troi! She cries over Kirk/Spock! If she had had the internet at my age her life would have been totally different.

the best fictional outing I ever read was this: 'you know that secret love kirk had for spock? Well, me too'. That is awesome news about your mom, btw.

Maybe you would be the heathen outsider, whose technology we accept, but try to keep the culture separate?

HOMG YOU GUYS, I COMPARED SGA TO THE ENTERPRISE FINALE AND NOW THE SHOW'S BEEN CANCELLED.

*hides under blankets, so as to not accidentally cause the heat death of the universe or something*

[sapote3.livejournal.com]

I KNOW. This thread is now in such bad taste.

*cries*

I TAKE IT BACK! I DIDN'T MEAN IT!

Well, I did. But I still LOVE IT. MAKE IT COME BACK!

[phnelt.livejournal.com]

WHAT. Links, plz.

[sapote3.livejournal.com]

Have you no SGA people on your flist at all? THEY ARE CRYING.

[phnelt.livejournal.com]

You know what? The first thing I do every morning is check my comment notifications. Then the flist. You guys have the dubious honour of being the ones who told me first. And now I've read it like 40 times. Dude.

You...you didn't hear?

I am very sad to report... (http://www.gateworld.net/news/2008/08/istargate_atlantisi_will_end_thi.shtml)

[phnelt.livejournal.com]

fuck that

[lurkmuch.livejournal.com]

In-fucking-deed.

In tragedy we have achieved that which we once set out to do: hijack sapote3's comment thread such that the comments are only one word wide.

[sapote3.livejournal.com]

we can do better.

[phnelt.livejournal.com]

Unfuckingbelievable. Not even Teal'c-esque stoicism could mend this.

[sapote3.livejournal.com]

OH you meant THIS THREAD.
You realize it actually was your fault.

[lurkmuch.livejournal.com]

WHAT. It is NOT MY FAULT.

*le sigh*

It is, isn't it. I CAN NEVER TALK ABOUT ENTERPRISE ON THE INTERNET EVER AGAIN. I'M THE REASON WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!!!
