I finished up Dexter s. 2 yesterday and the end left me a little cold. They'd pushed Dex way out onto a ledge and instead of making him either jump or fly, they kind of cheated him back off it again. Usually the writers are better than that, so I was disappointed.

After that, and a lazy day wherein I picked up another sister's birthday gifts (being born into a family with birthdays all within a two month span of time right after Xmas is its own unique form of hell sometimes), ran a few other errands, and then curled up and did a lot of nothing except enjoying the rain from my nice dry, cozy couch. Did bake some "No Pudge" brownies, which turned out surprisingly well and made my entire apartment smell like chocolatey goodness. Then cyranocyrano popped by for our usual SG-1 night.

I apologized profusely before showing him "The Broca Divide", if you've seen it you know why. Aelf contends it's the worst ep of season 1, though I'm still an "Emancipation" hata' myself, at least TBD contains the one and only scifi plot point based on seasonal allergies, to the best of my knowledge. As an allergy sufferer myself I kind of enjoy that. We made it through 3 eps before calling it a night, and I commented to C- that re-watching the older eps is fun because I get to see again why all the rules and procedures most of us take for granted in the SG universe now came about in the first place. It's like SG-1 was an extended Alpha test and SGA has become the Beta test.

I think Emancipation was the writer's answer to "we need to address the fact that the butchest human on our team is a woman" or something like that. And yeah, I think it's season two, but as I recall, I haven't seen all of season one yet. Someone convinced me to stop renting them from Netflix. ;)

Dude they've been sitting on my shelf collecting dust for months, don't even start ;)

[moonlightnrain.livejournal.com]

*giggles* Oh, I'll start, but apparently I won't get to finish.... ;)

[moonlightnrain.livejournal.com]

Actually, I've started a log of what SG-1 eps I've seen/haven't seen. Turns out there is only one ep missing from season 1. Might I just borrow that DVD this weekend, watch it and return it to you by Monday?

Also, this nearly made me spit my coffee all over my lcd:

[ebonlock.livejournal.com]

*giggle* Sure, which ep do you need? If you know the title I can just bring it with me tonight.

[moonlightnrain.livejournal.com]

Brief Candle. Jack gets old? And dies? No, wait, that's just wishful thinking on my part.

You know, reading through these comments, I'm realizing that I feel just the way you feel about the Wraith... about the Goa'uld. They've never scared me, never seemed like much of a threat and any episode title that starts with the word "Serpent's" I want to skip right over.

We just watched Brief Candle actually, and I think we have two more eps on that disc to get through. Could I give it to you after we finish with it Monday night? It'd probably be simpler than trying to get it back from you before Monday.

[moonlightnrain.livejournal.com]

Okay. I was just under the impression I wouldn't be seeing you for some time after this weekend.

[ebonlock.livejournal.com]

I can swing by and drop it off any time before Friday evening, which is when I need to pick up J- at the airport.

[moonlightnrain.livejournal.com]

Or you could bring it tonight and I'll bring it right back on Saturday so that you don't have to go out of your way. But it's your call. I'm also amenable to not borrowing it until the 14th. I'm not in a big rush.

[ebonlock.livejournal.com]

I just didn't want to rush *you*, but if you can watch it before tomorrow evening...or wait, we could just watch it first and then go on to B7, whichever is fine with me.

[moonlightnrain.livejournal.com]

Ha! Leave it to you to come up with the simplest plan of all. That sounds fine. I'm winding down with B7 anyway, aren't I?

[ebonlock.livejournal.com]

You're getting there, a couple more discs to go and that'll be it for season 4.

[moonlightnrain.livejournal.com]

Just 4 more episodes, by my count. :)

PS: I think I need to swap out one of my icons for this:

[ebonlock.livejournal.com]

LOL, oh man, you're so right, you absolutely do have to have that one!

[moonlightnrain.livejournal.com]

I just need to figure out what icon I don't use any longer....

And I just now got the nod to scoot along home whenever I like. But I'm going to at least wait for my coworker to get back from her meeting across the way so I can lock up good and proper. But that means you can come over any time after 5pm. I just have a few things to do when I get home and I should be able to dispose of those tasks in ample time.
