emonySo I finally gave in and bought CSI season 3 on DVD. MmmmmCSI<3 I am slowly but surely working my way through them. TMO was not best pleased by my decision to buy them, but I thought hey, fuck it, I can buy whatever I want. And so I did :)
I taped Stargate and Atlantis last night, because I was at the gym, but I've watched them both now.
Stargate was okay, I suppose. The bits with Jack were by far and above the better parts. The stuff with Sam was dull and irrelevant to the story and painfully remeniscent of all those thousands of "Lana gets stalked because she is so pwetty and everyone wuvs her" Smallville eps. I'm fond of Sam, but really, give her something more interesting to do than have some lameass bad guy with a terribly dodgy perm crushing on her. Boring much. Is this Stargate or Dawson's Creek?Teal'c with hair is creepy, and Jack's promotion is okay except that it's just because RDA doesn't want to do as much on the show. There was some good stuff, like Jack talking over his promotion with the team. Team moments. Oh yes :) Overall though, it was pretty forgetable.
Atlantis .. well, it didn't suck, which is what I expected, so I was pleasantly surprised overall. I still adore Rodney, and the Scottish dude seems quite funny. Dr Weir is less annoying than I thought she'd be, and Robert Patrick was very cool (he called![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
niannah "doll", did you know?). The sparky young Jack O'Neill substitute whose name I can't remember was a bit too much of a perky funny 'all American guy' MarySue, but I didn't actively dislike him, so I'll give him a chance.
All that nonsense in the cave with the chick who looked like a poor man's Jennifer Lopez reminded me a lot of the original Stargate film. I kept expecting the J Lo chick to start talking in ancient Egyptian and drawing stuff in the sand. That would've been way cooler, imo. I was un-gripped by the storyline and I didn't much care whether they all drowned in Atlantis, but I'm willing to give it another chance next week to see if it improves, as pilot shows almost always suck. Jack and Daniel were funny, although it was a shame we didn't see Teal'c and especially Sam (I choose to believe that Sam knew she couldn't restrain herself from jumping Rodney, and since she's still dating Pete (I <3 Pete, btw), she didn't want to risk anything happening), but good god, did they honestly think they could have Garwin Sandford in there again and we wouldn't notice? I was like, wtf is Dr Weir doing dating Narim?! Is was good to see Garwin again though. He's such a sweetie :)
So yeah, overall, not too bad. I'm not taping them or anything, but I'll probably watch them.
In other news, I am going to write the next part of DM AU tomorrow if it KILLS ME! I didn't get around to writing yesterday, with going to town to buy CSI DVDs and then the gym and then watching Stargate, and today I was at my aunt's working, but tomorrow is totally free, and I will write that fic or die in the attempt!
I am also going to make myself some CSI icons. Yay! But fic first. Probably.
