I tend to buy series like that as well. I don't have a disposable income like some people believe all brainy geek types have. I don't even have a job at the moment. Of course as Jayne's Daddy says "If you can't find a job, you ain't lookin' hard enough".

Anyway it's a rip off to buy series on DVD as they come out. It's an incredible waste of money. They usually drop in price at Target by 10 bucks in the first few months, or so. I just sate my appetite with reruns and the fact I can watch an episode of a favorite series once or twice and replay it in my head without forgetting much detail at all. I used to do that with Firefly at my last job and get odd looks when I'd laugh at a joke or get to the part where Kaylee gets shot... that part gets me every time. Any good it does in relation to the show's getting canceled or not is very little as that has more to do with the current inaccurate and insufficient ratings system.

That said I can't say I haven't been tempted to buy a season for cheap at Last Stop CD Shop in Sioux Falls. Can't beat the prices.

I sold some more DVD's I wasn't gonna really watch anytime soon and GOT SGA SEASON ONE!!! Found it on sale at Wallyworld (I have no use for that store otherwise).

Setting the Gate 2nite!

Yep Wallyworld isn't my choice for one stop shopping either. About the only thing I get there are gallon jugs of water and occasionally Legos if they are on sale for cheap.

I hope you enjoy season one. It really picks up with the mid-season cliffhanger. Let us know what you liked and disliked.

Rising 1 & 2 were even better than I remembered, and Hide And Seek was really good...the humour was exceptional ("I shot him....in the LEG...")...apart from my pet peeve of universally spoken English (eff it at this point), this show is delivering.

I'm so glad you like it Chris. It's one of my current favorite things. :-)

Fun, bright, sometimes laugh out loud funny, and the character interaction is getting really good.

Keep going... I'm anxious to hear what you think of it now that Jewel is in it.

Glad you like it. My only problem with the show is the universal English as well. Not bad when you only dislike one thing about a show. Not many others are like that for me. SG1 had the same problem and it's understandable given the amount of work it would take to devise a new language that sounds halfway decent for every little culture. Of course on Atlantis they could have just had everyone speak a slightly altered, more casual Ancient language. Which would not have been too hard since it's basically a weird form of Latin. Either way it's still not too hard to ignore it and just enjoy the show.

Just wait until you get to the middle of the season and "The Storm" and "The Eye". I remember that was where I thought "Ok I'm a fan". Of course I liked Dr. McKay as a rarely recurring character on SG1 so I was sorta a fan going in.

THIRTY EIGHT MINUTES reminded me of Out Of Gas in a way- the idea of getting stuck in a Gate was fascinating, and *YEA* for me; I figured how to get the bugger off Sheppard before THEY did!!!

SUSPICION was a tight little piece of paranoia, and I really liked that the perceived 'bad' military dude had a real contribution to the answer.

CHILDHOOD'S END was kinda like Miri, with a little Logan's Run thrown in...IMO the weakest ep so far, and it was still entertaining. But man, this show is never low on action!

Childhood's End might just be one of my least favorite season one episodes. And I can still enjoy watching it from time to time. Your right the show really doesn't let up much on the action. You ain't seen nothing yet though.

I'd have to say next to Firefly, SGA is probably the only other Scifi show I get more than a bit excited about.

One thing, when alien peeps in Voyager or TNG all speak English, I cringe, in SGA I find it easier to wrap my head around- I guess it's the pulp-science fiction quality to it, and the cool sense of humour...
