Having written that apparently made my subconscious go "HEY!" and craft a dream where I was the new girl in Angel's bed... I mean life. He'd achieved redemption and humanity, and things were urbanite normal, but then his eyes changed to vampire yellow, so of course impending doom was on the way. I think it was setting me up to write something. I've toyed with Angel fan fic in the past, but never came up with anything good enough to put out in the public light.

I think I looked like the actress playing Lois Lane in Smallville this season too aaaannd this is starting to sound like something Tash would write so I'm going to stop... right here.

Season 6 was a refreshing change of pace. And while it took a while to get used to Jonas Quinn, he grew into a very likeable character.

Agreed. I expected to dislike S6 (after I went and tracked down the ruttin' DVDs), but Jonas suddenly turned into my favourite character.

Yes, he even beat out Carter.

In my opinion, SG1's downward trend in the last two seasons began with the way Jonas was booted off the show at the start of season 7. He could have continued to be a part of the show in a reduced capacity, easily.

Hell yeah. I loved the Daniel/Jonas interaction in the S7 premiere, after Daniel enumerates just how bad the situation is and how much trouble they're in.

JONAS: It's fun isn't it?
DANIEL: Yeah!

I think the reason I like them is 'cause they're both nerds who've (in Jonas' case at least) probably dreamed about doing stuff like this since grade school.

You know, I read right past this and didn't notice the sex at all. What was that she posted again? I can't remember. If this were a senate hearing, I'd have forgotten my charts too.

Oh, send me your work, every writer needs an editor. Trust me, it's a huge help to have a confidant reading your material. Being a big Angel fan I think I might seem a good editor for you?

lol!, Ghouly is great!

Alright 2 copper pennies right here.

Love SG-1. Have the first 4 seasons on DVD. The characters are great. The stories are creative. Plenty of action & gret one-liners.

Haven't seen Farscape, but mean to do so. I've heard nothing but great about it.

Stargate SG 1 is a great series. The stories get better every week. There hasn't been one episode yet where they've 'jumped the shark'.

There aren't many tv shows that can survive like that...

The characters are good. The character dynamics are always enjoyable to watch.

There are a lot of different types of mythologies on the show. It's not always dependable on the same mythology from the movie - something that might damage a tv show if it strayed too far from its original concept - but it still works really well.

Farscape is a totally different kettle of fish. It has to be seen to be believed. Who knew that Jim Henson puppets could be so devious and loveable? Rygel is brilliant.

The series is action packed, witty, surreal, emotional and entertaining.

I'll admit, I never used to be a big fan of the show (although I still watched it), but I'm still missing it alot.

It's difficult to say which one's better...

I hope that's been helpful...

I'd say SG1 only cuz I've watched most of the eps in syndication a couple on Sci-Fi channel whenever I get a chance to. I tried watching Farscape during it's first season but it didn't stick with me. I may give it another shot if they reair the entire show in blocks, kinda like how they have Stargate SG-1 Mondays and Andromeda Tuesdays.

I was a huge Farscape fan and I am eager for the mini-series. I will say that a few of the episodes were a little silly (bugs bunny stuff) but it was good enough the rest of the time to forgive those. The story line is only fair and it is not hard scifi by any means but the chacterizations are fabulous. You gatta love those guys.

SG1 has become a favorite in the last couple of years. In the early years it was a lot of wandering around in the woods of earthlike planets all over the galaxy meeting cheesy aliens. I assumed it was to keep costs down since the special effects were almost non-existent. As a space nut, I like space in my scifi.

The last few seasons have included almost as much space flight as gate hopping and the writing seems to have improved along with the production values.

Stargate SG-1 jumped the shark when one of the co-creators left after season 3 and it's never managed to recover. Every other episode is bad (especially those written by M. and M.). I have high hopes for Stargate Atlantis, but it's too early to tell.

A show you need to get on DVD is Babylon 5, I think most Mutant Enemy fans would fall in love with that show half way through its first season. Also another JMS show, Jeremiah is must-watch.

Some other great shows include The Prisoner, Brimstone (not on DVD, sadly) and Batman TAS.
