I can watch if it's just a romance I'm not keen on (like the Sam/Pete thing in SG-1), but in this particular instance it's one of those pairings that makes me squick and it's literally painful for me to watch. And it bothers me because next to Teyla and Ronon, Keller's my favorite. I want to watch my girl shine, but I just can't bare to watch McKeller. It's too painful. Maybe later on I can pick and choose which parts of the episodes to watch, like I could with GG (where I watched the Luke/April storyline and pretty much omnitted the rest during the first 2/3 of the season).

Spoiler:

Not yet, maybe, but Brainstorm is coming up (or BS as I call it)...

Mostly now I want to avoid it to keep my writing buzz up. But I am wondering if I will find any of the upcoming storylines worth it to endure the pain... I hate that it's come to this, but I just *can't* watch them. I can't. Some people may love'em, but I don't. There are two people I simply don't want to see McKay with and they are Keller and Carter.

I'm not the biggest McKeller fan... But I think its okay...

Yes--I was referring to Eve (I knew she looked familiar).

I havn't checked out "Merlin" yet but I hear it's rather good.

The official cover for the Blu-Ray release of "Ark of Truth" came out today. I found it on tvshowsondvd.com

It is sad that the major reason I want a Blu-Ray player at this point is for that DVD and seeing how awesome SG-1 will look in high def?

Nope!

Someday... after my trip OS and buying an apartment... I will look into getting a new TV and Blu-Ray player

Merlin is fun, its no where as good as Robin Hood, but I like it

I've seen you on the DW board

Every time there is a new SGA ep these days I'm feeling conflicted... because YAY new ep... and then

because it means we're so close to the end of the season/series... but at least there will be some movies.

Yep--I got my DH watching DW too. What can I say? I'm a sci-fi girl.

ITA on the Atlantis episodes. I love to see the new ones, but then it means waiting for the movies (and a lot less of them).

Anyone here hear about Jason Momoa? Apparently he was assaulted November 15th in a Pub. Some guy hit him in the face with a beer glass, which shattered and he's just gone through reconstructive surgeries and got 140 stitches... OUCH!

It's just awful that people can do such thing... I really hope he'll be okay...

**~*Nikki*~** · 11-22-2008, 06:14 PM

I saw an article about it, that's really awful, but I'm glad he's okay.

Just watched 5x16 and squealed like a little girl over McKeller. They're so damn cute!

OMG, how awesome was that episode? CANON McKeller and Bill Nye the Science Guy!!!

**~*Nikki*~** · 11-22-2008, 07:06 PM

The episode was pretty good for an Earth based one. I was just really happy with Keller telling Rodney she loved him and then the kisses. So cute!

dukesmom · 11-22-2008, 09:54 PM

Here's an article about the Momoa incident: Stargate: Atlantis Star's Attacker Charged - Yahoo! News

As for the episode, eh. Teyla and Woolsey were completely absent. Sheppard and Ronon had one scene. Is it any wonder I wasn't thrilled? I didn't hate it but I'm not anxious to rewatch.

**~*Nikki*~** · 11-22-2008, 10:27 PM

I do wish we'd see more of the whole cast so close to the end of the series.

smeagolkitten · 11-23-2008, 06:39 AM

The recent developments in BS just put the final nail in the coffin for me. I hope I never have to watch that. *shudders* I know some of you like McKeller and are happy, but for me they are the worst pairing in Stargate history and I just can't watch them together without feeling ill... Especially not if they're gonna be all lovey-dovey...

**~*Nikki*~** · 11-23-2008, 07:18 AM

I understand where you are coming from, there is another couple on a different show that everyone squeals about but they just make me vomit.

I do admit that I'm surprised that they are doing a romanctic storyline since they kept away from that in SG-1 for so long.

vball2003_1999 · 11-23-2008, 07:50 AM

Yea, if they were gonna do a romance, how about one that's been 10 years in the making?

Imaginary_Vanity · 11-23-2008, 07:58 AM

Ignoring how heavy Mckeller was in this episode (Ive never seen such a ship based episode in SGA or in SG1 for that matter),i thought the episode was okay a bit of a disappointment after episode's 14&15 which I thought where the best of the season mostly because they where team based.

I missed Teyla, I don't like how Jennifer seems to have taken her role as main female lead this season. I wanted to slap Ronon, snap out of it. I loved how oblivious John was
