General, I'm here to join SG-1.
Oct. 12th, 2009 01:11 amI just visited my local video store and paid for the Stargate: SG-1 Complete Series on DVD! It should be here in a week or so! OMG OMG OMG I can't wait!
I've been renting the Season 1 disks, week-by-week, but it's just not the same as owning OWNING O W N I N G them myself. GUH
The first thing I'll do is rip "Prometheus Unbound" so I can watch it to death without warping the original DVD. Then I'll catch up on S9 & S10, because reading transcripts is just not the same!
Ya know, when I read the transcript for "Avalon Part 2", the scene where Sallis/Vala is burned to death while Harrid/Daniel watches helplessly just made me shocked and horrified and sad and tearful and depressed. Then I read LJ blogs where Daniel/Vala 'shippers expressed how that scene made 'em 'ship, and I'm all WTF? On "paper", it's just not 'shippy. It's mortifying. So maybe I'll have a different impression when I see it blocked, costumed, performed and shot? I dunno.
BTW, I'm one of those weird people who's not "spoiled" by reading transcripts. I have a degree in Theatre, so reading a play, for me, is merely the first step in executing the finished, collaborative artwork.
I didn't leave the video store empty-handed, either. I've rented "The Mikado" (version with Eric Idle!) and Season 1 of Aqua Teen Hunger Force AND a staging of Shakespeare's "All's Well That Ends Well" because I like unpopular Shakespeare plays.
