Thank goodness for the Stargate universe….

It was discovered that I had an ovarian cyst this year, unfortunately a big one that had twisted and done nasty things to my internal workings, so I had to spend time I would have usually have spent doing something a bit more active, either lying on my right side on a sofa drugged up to the eyeballs on painkillers or in and out of hospital having

Hi

[ndmzero]

I'm sorry to hear you've been having health problems - I hope the treatments have been effective and you're on the mend and feeling better.

I've also recently immersed myself in SG-1 seasons 7 - 10 -- I bought the whole series but didn't quite have the energy to go through the whole thing yet. I still like the way seasons 9 and 10 hold up too - I'm glad you were able to enjoy them.

I share your feelings about the loss of Don S. Davis - I had the pleasure of meeting him at a con a few years ago - and managing to horn in on a group breakfast with him that wasn't organized - and based on that one meeting, I do feel he was a tremendously warm and interesting person and the world is poorer for his passing.

Can't say much about Atlantis, I don't watch it - although I'm most likely going to watch the episodes this season with Michael Shanks, so I'm trying to keep a little more in touch with it so I have an idea what's happening.

Take care of yourself.

Hi back!

I'm feeling fine now, thank you. Only two weeks to go and then I should have the all clear to lift heavy objects again.

I'm glad you've been enjoying it too. S7 and S8 are probably the two seasons I know least now, so I could probably watch those again as well. Did you find they held up well to re-watching?

I'm sure it hit the fans who were lucky enough to meet Don S. Davis even harder than those of us who only got to enjoy his work on TV and DVD.

The first episode with Michael Shanks in it 'First Contact' apparently airs on Sept 26th, which is seven weeks away, should anyone be sad enough to be counting the days to an episode airing ten years after starting to watch a show....

Re: Hi

[ndmzero]

Glad to hear you're feeling better - maybe you can start with moderately heavy objects and work your way up?

About SG1 - S7 and S8 - Well, they were somewhat hit or miss, but there were some absolutely brilliant episodes, so the hits are good ones.

Thanks for the exact date of First Contact - excuse me while I run off to set a reminder on my calendar..... what, obsessed? still? me? - absolutely.

Thanks again.

[elgrey]

Thank you for delurking! It's lovely to hear from you

[elgrey]

I think it's a really nice thing to have a show out there that you haven't seen yet that you're pretty sure you will enjoy. I completely understand about the time pressures. I just cancelled my satellite subscription because I hadn't switched the TV on for three years unless it was to watch a DVD and it seemed silly to pay for nothing. You can think of Atlantis as a nice store of episodes in the bank being built up for your future self to enjoy.

Thanks again so much for posting. :)

So sorry about the pain - but at least you made something good out of the forced 'down time'. I fell hard for SGA last year and have been dabbling in some writing in it; I loved the first several seasons of SG-1, but haven't gotten back to it since about season 4 - mostly because of time. I will, however, go look for your fics! YEA!!!

Feel better!

[elgrey]

Ooh gorgeous Vin icon! Excuse me while I take a moment to drool. I do hope you are writing something in which he looks exactly like that? (But perhaps wears less clothes at some point

I'm so sorry to hear about your health problems-- I hope everything has worked and you're on the mend.

SG1 was a huge help to mom and I after daddy died, as was The Sentinel. We watch Supernatural together now, and I'm totally In Wuv with Sam (Jared Padalecki--see icon *G*)

I was lucky enough to meet Don Davis at several cons and to also sit in front of him on a flight from Washinton DC to Chicago. He was a lovely man, very warm and kind-hearted. I'm glad he was able to have those extra years with Ruby.

Take care, sweetie-- we're all still patiently waiting for Book Three!

[elgrey]

It has and I'm find now, thank you, darling!

Aww, that's an adorable Sam icon. He and his brother are so very purty. I haven't seen S3 of SPN yet. I thought I would be strong and wait for the box set to come out. (Then I have to immediately pass the boxset onto my nephew who is totally obsessed with SPN and Heroes.) When my father died we turned to Doctor Who. (It was before Stargate had been made.) And it made us feel hugely better too. I watch all seasons with my mother too. (She usually fancies the dashing heroic type, often with silly hair, whereas I tend to like the studious, nerdy ones.)

He always seemed like such a lovely man, but that just makes it harder for everyone who knew him. I'm glad he did too, but I do wish it could have been longer.

You too, you wonderfully slim person, you! I'm working on it. After five months of not being able to write this year, I'm determined to get it finished in time for Christmas. Thank you for the encouragement!

Hey there, it's very nice to 'see' you ;-).

Commiserations on the cyst-thing -- been there done that, so I do understand what you have just gone through. I sure hope you are feeling much better now.

I'm glad you are enjoying SG-1; it's still at the top of my list (well, with Daniel there, how could it not be at the top?). The puppies and cake sound good, too ;-).

[elgrey]

Hi, there! It's lovely to 'see' you too. :)

I'm feeling fine now and commiserations back. I wouldn't wish one of those nasty twisty things on anyone, let alone a very nice person like yourself!

Yes, I think it's an obsession for life thing, isn't it, SG-1? I'm so glad that you're still enjoying it too. I love adding new shows to my list of things I love, but I would be sad if I had to give up any of the old ones too.
