Yes, zones. Plural. When I’m in the mood to read, romance novels are my favorite pick. I have authors and series that I’ve read so many times I could probably recite some of them. Since this entire site is devoted to that activity, I won’t go into any particulars here. When I’m in the mood to play, my favorite games bounce somewhere between building and adventure quest games. Which is honestly a weird place to be. Put it this way, I love the stories and puzzles of quest type games but can easily spend hours on good building games. Put the two together and I’mRead More →

Must be something in the air because I ran across two posts related to cliffhangers on the same day recently. First there is this one about the Stargate SG1 writers and the uncertain future of the series in later seasons: Then later that same day I found this: I think overall I tend to avoid cliffhangers. Well, they don’t happen in romance novels very much to begin with. And with streaming nowadays, I usually wait until an entire TV series is complete. Or, at least I wait until another season is added. Problem solved. Of course the real problem is when another season (or book)Read More →

So, yeah, this week I’m doing a quick update post because we’ve been hit by the winter storm here in western Kentucky that’s affecting most of the country. And basically means that everything stops for us. Now what we have on the ground might not look like much to those to the north but for us it’s bad. Cause we don’t do winter storms well at all. It’s not so much a mind-set problem either. It’s more that we don’t get enough of them to put a lot of equipment to deal with them in the budgets that matter. Which means we kind of limpRead More →

I haven’t had a lot of time to work on posts this week because… holiday season. But I ran across an excellent post regarding one of my favorite SG1 episodes and thought I’d share. Okay, let’s face it, Window of Opportunity is probably everyone’s favorite. Or at least every fan’s favorite. It’s just perfection. And reading (and watching) the background behind how this one came about is absolutely fascinating. First the post for you to go read: If you’re interested, make sure to watch the embedded video for even more details. Caution there are some spoilers ahead for SG1: Window of OpportunityYou have been warnedRead More →

As I mentioned in a recent post, I recently finished a pretty much yearly rewatch of Stargate SG1. Even the follow-up movie Arc of Truth. The only thing I haven’t rewatched yet is the Continuum movie. Not totally sure I’m going to, either, because, not my favorite.  Anyway, all this Stargate binging got me to thinking that I needed to work on a favorites page for one of my all-time favorite TV series. So that’s been my focus for this week and Stargate (TV series) is now a page. While doing some research for that, though, I ran across a few videos I wanted toRead More →

I’ve been thinking about this for awhile, off and on. Most recently while re-watching some Stargate SG1 episodes. For the umpteenth time.  And it’s not that I don’t still love Star Trek! Because I’m a longtime fan of almost all variations of Star Trek. My favorite is probably Star Trek: The Next Generation. For a lot of reasons. Just saying that up front before the next paragraph.  However while I “grew up” with Star Trek and love it, I think I may have outgrown it. Why? The short answer? The Star Trek universe can get a bit… well, I don’t want to say repetitive but that’sRead More →

Yes, I do love the original, SG1, very much. Multiple rewatchings to the point of starting to rate individual episodes. In a pinch, I can watch Atlantis but it’s not my favorite. Universe does not exist for me. Just saying. So I was very interest when I ran across this video about the history of this beloved science fiction franchise: This the first of three parts and I enjoyed all of them. I think you can also check on the channel they’re on for a video that compiles them into one but that’s like an hour long so fair warning.Read More →

There are few TV series that I feel truly deserve the honor of being collected in their entirety. Stargate SG1 is one of them. Truth to tell, I’ve only recorded two other start to finish in my entire life – Star Trek: The Next Generation and Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. I still haven’t gotten the DVD version of ST:TNG – eleven years worth is damn expensive, you know. I have upgraded to the DVDs of L&C. We didn’t record SG1 ourselves either. Not sure why, but this was simply a series that one knew was going to be merchandized so weRead More →

Anyone else as amazed as I am at just how good this season of this series has been? I was sure that things would go downhill after they switched to the Sci-Fi channel. Then I was sure things would really not work when Jack stopped being active on the team. Now, I’m sitting here with my mouth hanging open at just how WOW-ed I’ve been over the last few episodes of this season in particular but also the season in general. Way to go. My absolute favorite episode from the season? Citizen JoeRead More →
