campylobacter: my sweet (Qetesh)
I 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.

Open Journal

Friend/de-Friend/Ban me = it's all good.

Fandom's more fun when you're an equal-opportunity pervert (multi-shipper). Set porn goggles to maximum!

Mostly Stargate SG-1 with an intermittent chance of SGA & The X-Files.

BEWARE: My LJ is NOT SAFE FOR WORK.
