What a bizarre feeling.

For the first time in-- well, *years*, I'm almost up-to-date with Stargate SG-1. It's weird, given that I pretty much stopped watching when I came to uni and only decided on catching up a month or so back. A little disappointed that I seem to have run out of episodes when Sky One's site is telling me they're at least five episodes further on and only three from the end of the season but this is what older brothers were invented for. I need to call him about Mother's Day anyway; maybe I can beg a favour in return for catsitting for him. It's not like I should really watch any more episodes until the end of May anyway, given that I've watched two and a half seasons as an excuse not to do work. That's what, probably like forty or so hours I could've spent on dissertation. Hm.

I also have new and fuzzy love for Daniel Jackson. (This Stargate marathon has reminded me; has anyone ever said in an interview whether Jack and Daniel's characters were named after Jack Daniels? Because it's what I always thought and characters in one of my favourite shows being named after my favourtie drink would be all kinds of hilarity.) Poor little spacemonkey. He needs lots of huggage from Vala. And maybe from Mitchell too, though that's more for the pretty than the emotional support.

Really. Pretty.

Don't even ask how much I squeed when Inara Morena Baccarin showed up. It's like they're collecting awesome but out-of-work sci-fi actors. We want Nathan Fillion next please or maybe Summer Glau, I'm not fussy over who comes first.

Then again, the entire Stargate cast will be out of work as of the end of this season right? Maybe everyone should simply shift to Atlantis. OR. New sci-fi super!show, with every awesome sci-fi actor. How great would that be? Someone should totally do that.

... Anyone up for kidnapping Joss Whedon and staging a hostile takeover of a studio to get the money for him to do it?

Non sci-fi-y, Top Gear was indeed awesome tonight but I think I've been spoilt by the last few weeks, because it didn't seem to quite measure up. The paintballing was a thing of beauty and Jeremy getting knocked over and soaked by the water cannon was hilarious but I don't know. As funny as the limo thing was, it didn't seem quite as awesome as the tractors or the American episode or, I don't know. Guess I was expecting new heights of awesome and got a plateau instead.

Gonzo seems an Unhappy Fish tonight. I left the filter running longer than usual and they're truly sucky swimmers (yeah, fish who can't swim well. Go figure) so I'm hoping he's just a little tired. It can't be fun swimming when your tail is bigger than you and you have a worse sense of direction than James May (seriously, I've seen Gonzo swim into a corner and have to turn upside to get out again, because he can't work out which fin to wave. I never said they were smart).

This song is beautiful. And, oddly, it makes me want new icons.

I think I remember Jewel Straite being in Stargate Atlantis...I have no idea when why how etc. but she was in it!

Oh yeah! I think I heard about that, though it must be sometime in the third season which I haven't seen *mourns because she loves Jewel*. Maybe Stargate really is trying to get hold of every sci-fi actor out there.
