Apparently there is an explosion in the Stargate Atlantis fandom. From what I've gleaned from reading my friends list it has to do with somebody leaving the show. For some reason I don't really feel the need to go over to GateWorld and find out what the hell is going on. For a second there my brain did a double take, because shouldn't I need to know? Stargate (and Atlantis by extension) is my first fandom, my first tv love (we're not counting Due South and Highlander in this because I loved them a long time ago, but they didn't turn into the obsessive fandom type love until post Stargate (PS, not only a post script but also a way of telling time in the bizarre land of Aderam's mind) ) and the only thing that I buy on DVD as it comes out, so why don't I need to know? (And for that matter why haven't I been combing the internet for ways to watch the new episodes of Season 10 and Season 3 that I know have aired without me seeing them?)
I know that my overwhelming squee for Supernatural hasn't taken over entirely because I'm also very happy with other shows, just basking in the new show goodness. I think what's happened is that I've turned into the laid-back fan when it comes to Stargate. I love it, but I'm not going to get all worked up about it anymore. Especially since I have so much of it on DVD that whenever I get the crazy must-see-the-gate vibe I can always scratch that itch. Also I've always loved getting new episodes on DVD and since I've started buying the DVDs as they come out I've also been downloading things (feeling no remorse because I'm buying them, dude) so the only new bits I end up getting with the new DVDs are just some special features (which, yeah, I do love, okay). I actually think it'll be kinda nice when I get my season 10 DVDs to have a bunch of episodes that I have never seen before (drawing out the few surprises I have left until the end). And the same thing goes for Atlantis, although admittedly I was never as into Atlantis as I was into SG-1.
I'm pretty sure that I had something else to say... but I guess I didn't really. Allow me to leave you with the image of C, my six-foot-two roommmate, enveloped entirely in his quilt and having a nap on the couch. He is the cutest. In about a half hour or so I'll be waking him up to go watch the Canucks and Sens game that's on tonight. It should be really interesting, and not just because he's a Sens fan and I'm a Canucks fan, they're actaully both doing really well at the moment so it should be some great hockey too.
I've been sick for the past couple days and I'm getting to that stage where I want to curl up in a ball and pretend that the world (and my runny nose) doesn't exist. But fanfiction, hockey and roommates are all good cures for this in varying different directions. Also somebody said something the other day that reminded all of us how I'm always the last one to know anything, which was weird because it hadn't really been happening for a while. But I think it might just be one of those things about who I am, because it's not like I don't pay attention, I just never find out the hot gossip until it's lukewarm.
Whatevs.
