Stargate EP Heroes Part 2 P3X-666
I’ve been watching this TV show for the past few months called, “Stargate SG-1.” It is a great show and I’ve been catching it on DVD, so I haven’t had to watch commercials. This last week I watched Season 8 and it was amazing. Some days I watched five episodes per day. That was intense. But last night I watched a ton of episodes and so I had only one left for today. Now I’m wishing I had more to watch and I’m having total Stargate SG-1 withdrawal. I am wishing I had more to watch. But I guess this is ok because now I have something to blog about. Check out the picture to the left. This picture is from a Stargate SG-1 Episode called, “Heroes part 2.” What happens is that Dr. Daniel Jackson is filming a soldier giving a message to his wife, but then suddenly Dr. Janet Fraiser is shot by a Jaffa staff blast. She dies. But what is crazy is that the planet they are on is P3X-666. I didn’t really notice that the planet was named that until Dr. Jackson slapped his tape down on the table. It is interesting that the planet that has a “666” in it is also a place where an important recurring character gets killed.
I really get into TV shows…especially Science Fiction ones. I would watch Babylon 5 episode after episode, wanting to know what happens next. But with Stargate SG-1 the relationship I have with the show is slightly different. I have learned so much about the characters and the plot and the technology that there is a dedicated Stargate SG-1 area in my brain.
Since I’m not going to be able to watch any Stargate tonight I’m probably going to eat some Trader Joes O’s cereal.
TV is pretty addictive stuff. I remember high school and I would base my schedule around when Star Trek Deep Space 9 was on the air.
After watching so much Stargate in a row over the past few days I can feel myself turning into a moron. I’ve been less charismatic when talking to people. I can tell I am annoying people more often during conversations. 33% of my conversations this week have started like this: “Yo, on Stargate…” I even made a new friend today at Starbucks because I mentioned to the barista how, “I’ve watched an entire season of Stargate in one week.” And then some random dude who I didn’t know said, “Oh yeah? Well I’ve watched an entire season of that show in a WEEK-END!” And I was blown away. Then that dude and I talked about Stargate for about 10 minutes.
I saw a girl on Plenty of Fish that said that she liked the show Stargate. But I didn’t message her because I haven’t seen the entire show yet and I don’t want any spoilers.
