We just got the first series of Stargate from some friends (who also gave us back Firefly, hurrah).  I’ve only ever seen odd episodes here and there, and never these first few that really set it up, so I’m enjoying it.  J thinks it’s all a bit B-grade, but I’m willing to overlook that.  At least there are some vaguely interesting story-lines, and there are some differences between each episode… unlike Alias….  And the characters are interesting too:  I remember some weird stuff happening to Daniel Jackson, but I have no idea what series that was in, so I might have a long time to wait until I found out exactly what that was all about.  I’m willing to wait – and at least I won’t have to find it for myself:  the friends I mentioned have all 9 seasons of it.
