So I watched me four hours of SG tonight. Oh my GOD, how could I have missed out on all this glorious Daniel/Michael Shanks goodness for SIX YEARS??? (Maybe 'cause I don't get Showtime and when they moved to Skiffy he wasn't there and didn't have the long hair that I really, really like in his one guest appearance that I saw...but still!) No more. Mmmm. *drools shamelessly* The screencaps don't do him justice. Longish hair and glasses and he's a geek. Maybe I don't want Janet to have him. Maybe I want him.
And I finally figured out who Sam/AT (also frelling gorgeous) reminds me of...looks like Rebecca Cole from Surprise by Design--yes, I watch crazy sitcoms-posing-as-design-shows--with a bit of young Angela Lansbury mixed in. And Sam appeals to my inner science geek. I was that eleven-year-old who read the entire section of the library on astro/quantum/theoretical physics in a year. Granted, those books were meant for general non-physisict consumption, I probably didn't understand half fo them, and I definitely skipped over any equations, but for a good long time, I was gonna be a physicist. And then I hit Algebra and that all went to hell, but whatever. Anyway, I was all over the black hole stuff in "A Matter of Time," happily geeking away. I want Sam's job really, really badly. Except for the math part. Damned math. I could do concepts, but I can't even add without a calculator anymore. *sigh*
Oh, and continuity. OMG. They have inter-season continuity! Praise be! Why on earth did I stop watching a few episodes after I started watching S6 last summer? *shakes head at self* At least I have all summer to catch up. And then I can have Stargate parties on Fridays with at least two people on my hall--including my roommate--in the very cool & always-unoccupied-except-by-geeky-types 4th floor Wellness lounge at school, so yay.

<praises CHCH for airing SG-1>
As for Jonas, I'm guessing you didn't see "Descent" either. Mmm, soaking wet, yeah!
I'm actually much more of a Jack girl, but the Daniel and Jonas eyecandy is so very, very good.

You did that too?! Woo for geekiness!

Date: 2003-05-27 02:58 pm (UTC)Mmmm-hmmm. WTVF showed "Summit" Sunday night (well, Monday morning, but who's counting?) Daniel in a tank top-type shirt. Yummy. Even if I like the long hair better...
As for Jonas, I'm guessing you didn't see "Descent" either. Mmm, soaking wet, yeah!
Oh, I did see that. Dunno, didn't really notice Jonas too much. That was the one where everyone was on a ship with water flowing in, right? I vaugely remember a few cute S/J moments, but not Jonas.

Not really feelin' the Jack-love. Oh, I love his character (snark! Wheee!), but Daniel is definitely my eye candy.
You did that too?! Woo for geekiness!
Oh, yeah. I'd just gotten addicted to Star Trek and I was absolutely certain that I would be the one to engineer the first warp drive, Zephram Cochrane or no Zephram Cochrane. Although my favourite bits were always Stephen Hawking's essays on black holes...
