1) Hey, so: does anyone have recommendations for chatty, informative books about:
a) Jerusalem politics in the year 0
b) the Protestant reformation and major dramatis personae thereof
c) medieval cult of the saints and wacky behavior associated with religious orders?
ETA: or, actually, anything about any episodes of wacky religious factionalism in judeo-christian history at all. I should take this to a reference librarian so that they can roll their eyes and refer me to the entirety of Western history.


2) Does anyone know exactly where Rodney McKay lived as a child? Does anyone have a good guess? I haven't been to Canada since I was six months old, so my geography is, sadly, rusty.

Also, I may be more familiar with the geography of Nunavut than anything closer to the U.S. border.

Anyway, if anyone can point me towards any episodes at all, besides McKay and Mrs. Miller, where Rodney discusses his early life, I would be very grateful.

Oops, this is a repeat comment.

Do you guys prefer a certain format? Wmv, Mpeg, avi? WMV would be the smallest file size. I don't know if that's an issue for you.

A good place to find Stargate (SGA or SG1) eps to download is ninth_chevron. It has a tag list (http://community.livejournal.com/ninth_chevron/tag/) also. Although you may have to join the community in order to see any posts.

oh that's awesome. When I finally get Slings & Arrows burned and off my hard drive I look forward to poking around there. I am WMV compatible, for sure.

WMV sounds fine so long as Sapote has no preference. :)
and thanks for the community recs

...And here's (6x01) "Redemption, Part 1" (177 MB)

and "Redemption, Part 2" (also 177 MB)

Hopefully those all work. I still haven't been able to figure out how people get those pretty 350 MB AVI files you see everywhere. These are probably fine for watching, but I don't think I'd use them for vidding or anything.

Thank you so much! All three episodes downloaded quickly, and the redemption ones were great despite the lower quality.

He's even more of an asshole than I'm used to in Atlantis! :D I love it.
