Closet Stargate fans?
Have you ever found out that someone you know well is a Stargate fan, and never knew it?
This last weekend, was at a family get together. Was talking with my father about this and that. I talk to him all the time, it's not like we rarely see each other. We go fishing, camping, hunting, golfing together, meet for drinks here and there, I go there couple times a month to watch football or basketball or whatever is on. It's not like we don't communicate. But it's usually about cars, sports, etc.
He's not a big movie guy. Hates to go, probably hasn't gone to the movies in 20 years. When I watch a movie with my parents at their place, he usually half pays attention, asks whats going on, goes to bed early, etc. Same with most TV shows, other than sports.
Then this weekend, he mentioned something about something that happened a few weeks prior, while he was watching Sci-Fi channel on friday nights...
I stopped him mid sentence... He knows I am a huge Sci-Fi fan, have been all my life, since my mother took me to see the original Star Wars in the theatre. I have sci-fi related tattoos. My house is littered with Sci-Fi collectables. AND HE WATCHES STARGATE, and loves the show, and never mentioned it to me! He said he has been trying to catch up on the older seasons every night and on mondays, because he felt kind of lost watching the new episodes.
Needless to say, the conversation switched to Stargate for quite some time after that. Of course, when I told him I have all the DVD's, he borrowed some of them, so I can't watch whichever ep I want whenever I want!
Well, you get the idea, but it blew me away. I thought that was so cool. Most of my friends who have watched Stargate, just watch it occasionally, they don't WATCH it.
