I'm just feeling pissy at the moment because of so recently watching on DVD 'Deadwood' (cancelled), 'Magnificent Seven' (cancelled), 'Stargate SG-1' (cancelled) and 'Angel' (cancelled). I was thinking about renting S2 of 'Carnivàle' (cancelled) but what's the point when the story was supposed to take six seasons to tell and they could only film two? And let's not even start on 'Profit' (cancelled), 'Miracles' (cancelled), 'Firefly' (cancelled), 'Dark Angel' (cancelled), and 'American Gothic' (cancelled) which you and I also enjoyed.
Yes, as with 'Angel' it was a songvid that got me to go out and order S1 of 'Atlantis' on DVD. Sometimes recruiter vids really do their stuff. I keep making resolutions not to get sucked in to live shows too, and now here I am at every renewal season worrying about 'Atlantis' 'WaT' 'SPN' not to mention the ones that seem likely to be okay (but may not) like 'House', 'Bones' and 'Heroes'.
I'm really pleased to hear that the season opener was good. I'll watch it when both parts have aired and I'm not going to have to grapple with a fiendish 'to be continued'.
I'm rather dreading the absence of Weir and Beckett, because I love them both, but there are still a lot of characters left that I'm very fond of and I do absolutely love the city itself. Of course, if they kill Zelenka, all bets are off.
I've had two different modes of watching SG-1. One in very much the POV of someone who loved the movie and Movie!Daniel and watched it endlessly and watched the show to see a continuation of that story and that character, and then more recently as someone who just has a big nostalgic love for SG-1 the series, and in that mode I can put up with a lot of things that really bugged me the first time around with a better grace. In that second mode, I really enjoyed S6, and can just about tolerate the huge amounts of Sam/Jack ship in S7 because I just *love* the show and all of the characters to pieces and want to find out what happens next to these people. I do rather miss the huge high I used to get from it in the past but I don't miss the accompanying huge lows when I felt disappointed.
I watch Atlantis in the same mode now, that I watch SG-1 - love the characters, love the show, and just really enjoy spending time in their company, but as long as the city was there, I would tune in. I think it's one of the most beautiful sets I've ever seen and the whole concept of Atlantis as a city left by the Ancients which hasn't been entirely explored yet thrills me completely.
