The words that Jay should never say are...

[linden_jay]

... I will never watch [fill in the blank].

Because as soon as I do, the universe takes notes. And someday, somehow, for some reason, I end up doing it after all.

This time? SG1.

Once upon a time, lady_adrian started watching it, and tried to talk me into it, and I said 'ah ha ha ha NO'. Going on (at that point) nine or ten seasons of canon? Science Fiction? Aliens? HELLS, no. Especially because of the aliens. Jay+aliens=badness.

Also, I don't think Michael Shanks is cute.

But then, I watched SGA (ashinae's fault), and she's been gradually working her way up with a whole get-Jay-to-watch-SG1 mission, and, well... I'm currently watching Meridian, which those of you who've seen the show will know well. For anyone else, it means that since I'm at the 21st episode of the fifth season... I'm now almost half-way through the series.

I'm funny about TV. Especially when I know something's over and not still ongoing. I watched seasons 2-4 of Angel as they aired, then didn't have cable when the final season was showing. It took me years to watch it because I knew that that would be it once I did. No more Angel. I'm the same with Rome right now--I've gotten as far as half-way through the final season, and I can't seem to make myself finish watching it, because then I will have seen all that there is to offer of the divine James Purefoy chewing scenery in the most glorious of ways as Marc Antony.

But still... SG1 is interesting. I prefer SGA, and I still don't think Daniel is pretty (although he has lovely eyes, and thank GOD he got rid of that hair and those glasses from the early seasons).

Ahahaha! This gave me a very, very needed evil cackle session.

(*sobs* for Meridian though)

And you will think Daniel is cute...just wait til you hit the season 7 mark...

*tacklehugs you*

Hee! I was hoping you'd see this. I never pass up an opportunity for people to have a good laugh at my expense.

(Omg Meridian=TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR. And I cried, damn it. I don't like it when TV makes me cry).

We'll see. I already think he's exponentially better looking compared to how he looked in the early seasons.

Explain the monkey thing! I know you told me about the monkey thing a million years ago, and I remember it not.

*squishtackles back*

Yeah, Meridian is still the only TV episode that's EVER made me bawl my eyes out.

Just waiiiit. You'll see. *grins*

The monkey thing? Jack called Daniel 'SpaceMonkey' once when he came back from the dead, start of season two, and all the slashers jumped on it like fat kids on smarties. XD

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

Oh, fat kids on smarties. How I love.

SO yeah, I remember the smartie thing but they jumped on it that hard from that one line? WEIRD. But then, slashers are weird.

[lady-adrian.livejournal.com]

The girls at work have asked me where I get my strange sayings like the fat kid on a smartie one from. I have to proudly tell them it's all the Canadian chick I talk to. :D Also, they all want rainbow scarves. XD

But then, slashers are weird.

You just noticed this?! :P

*grins* I love SG1~ O'Neal is definately my fav. character!!

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

O'Neill is awfully shiny. I do admit that.

My heart belongs to SGA, but it is a fun show.

Welcome to the SG-1 side!!! (I have pages of fic recs ... ;-)

[linden-jay.livejournal.com]

ACK! Wicked creature.

I just think they're adorable, really. Ash keeps telling me that Jack is a border collie who's trying desperately to herd the cats of SG1, and it just makes me giggle.

[green-grrl.livejournal.com]

Hee! A border collie! In fic, Daniel has the rep of being difficult on missions, but they all are! As I wrote in #5 here. ;-)

And a friend of mine actually wrote a J/D animal transformation fic with Jack turned into a dog, here. I love my flist!
