Stargate -- Of Mice and Men

[butterfly]

So, remember that plan of mine? Wherein I would get Stargate from netflix and watch it all in order?

Consider it cheerfully shot to hell, as I just bought season five on dvd (incidentally, they have the best kind of dvd case, wherein each dvd has its own hard case, like with Firefly).

Why that season (and not, say season one)? Because I've been waiting to see Meridian since I first knew of its existence (I'm a sucker for epics with tragical elements, and Daniel's story keeps making me think of that).

Plus? Commentary on every episode. This is worth fifty bucks.

And now, I will throw myself utterly out of continuity by watching Meridian.

A warning...

As long as we're speaking incidentally, the Homicide dvds also have their own individual cases. And at least some commentary tracks. By, like, Barry Levinson. Just so you know ;-)

You may be out of continuity, but you're doing better than I did - I jumped into the Sci-Fi reruns randomly, so the only episode I saw before Meridian was Menace. Thinking that Jack and Daniel didn't like each other very much kind of screwed with the emotional subtext of the episode a little. Just a tiny bit. *Then* I caught the beginning of S1 and had a big "ohhhhhhh" moment. Much better to do it the other way around. :)

*sobs* Menace. That one makes me cry more than Meridian does.

It was pretty sad. But I think it helped a lot to know that he'd be coming back. Of course, then Teal'c had to make me cry by being all 'one of my greatest friend' and 'as would I'.

You have the subtlety of Frannie.

Probably, yeah. I watched three episodes of SG-1 and went, "Yep, that Jack sure is in love with that Daniel," which is the mindset from which I'm watching season five.
