Big news indeed. At least he made it. \0/

Yes except he was lost at the airport.lol

[gateraid]

Back again with the announcement you have all been waiting for. Evolution is now online at SGARising.

Go read and comment. The next chapters will follow ASAP. Kris is at the con and we don't want to take any more of her time than is strictly necessary. LOL

*joins in happy dance*

Good morning, Sparkies! Happy Pretty Friday and a big shout out to everyone in Marseille for HalfWay Con! Have a fun time with Joe and Torri, you lucky ducks!



Actually, you just nailed it. With all the behind-the-scenes shenanigans and fan uproar during Season 4 and the growing hints about SGU on the horizon as Season 5 began, I suggested the possibility that they might cut off Atlantis a season early at the end of Season 5, since they'd have the 100 episodes needed to trigger a syndication package. And sure enough...

When you put it like that, it seems a bit like a mercy killing

Well, I, among many people, found it merciful. Toward me. Because what they were doing with the show was killing me. No, I'm not selfish at all.

I agree. Most of the S1-3 episodes I've seen at least a handful of times (hence how I scored 100 on the Sparky quiz). But the S4-5 episodes were pretty forgettable to me, on the whole. There were exceptions of course *cough*VEGAS*.

Hasn't Joe gotten lost before? Does he have John's sense of direction? LOL

LOL, I can't believe it! Aren't men supposed to be good at this? Haha!

It was the opposite in my house. My dad couldn't find anything. Eventually he'd listen to my mom's directions. Eventually.

[Scary Kitty]

Quick hello!

Just to say, don't wait a report from me. I can't do the con. I have some problems those days. Nothing serious but I don't have time for this.
My friends are there so if I have some news or pics, I will tell you.
Kisses

Awww! I'm sorry to hear that! *hugs Probie* I hope things get better for you soon. *more hugs*

Yes except he was lost at the airport.lol

Bwahahahah!

I vaguely recall he got lost on the way to DragonCon (I think) one year. Silly boy.

Hello from Marseille!! *wave*

Free wifi rules, technical train-problems not so much. Spend 7 hours instead of 6 cooped up in a train and that was really not doing me any wonders.... BOOOOOOORED so bored..

But I'm here now, at the serviced apartment we rented, waiting for dinner... finishing my Castle episode, and possible watch the latest NCIS and NCIS:LA. Then make it an early night cause the day starts early tomorrow.



And I'm sorry to hear you won't be here, Probie, I was excited to get to know you in person. Hope your problems go away soon.

I think he has a history of being late, getting stuck in traffic, taking the wrong train. Sounds like a pattern.

My family strictly follows the normal pattern. I can't find my way out of a paper bag with both ends open. Mr. SR and SR Jr. are great with directions. Since SR Jr. grew up and left me, I get lost a lot in shopping malls, etc. I have nobody to tell me, "It's this way, Mom." I'm also not allowed to read the map on car trips.

I wanted to see another season, but with their decision to move the city back to Earth, I don't think it would've played out all that well. It certainly wouldn't have been the same show. I mean, what if on SG-1, they blew up Earth and shifted everything to the Alpha Site? Fail.

I just expected less in the last few seasons. It helped a lot

*waves* Sorry about the trip

Lucky you're not in NZ. AT tweeted the other day that there was no hot water anywhere (there was a gas leak in the North Island, so anything that ran on gas was not working). The smell at Armageddon should be interesting Not from her, I'm sure she smells wonderful. Where was I going with that

Are you saying he doesn't listen, or that he can't take directions?

To be fair, I've read maps in the US before. Some of them are not that good - especially if they don't mark things like one way roads *grrr*

Plus, intentional repost:

Neither. I'm just reporting the history.

You should try driving here in Washington where the one-way streets sometimes shift depending on the time of day. And there's no such thing as a square block in most areas. LOL They took a grid and then lay circles on top of it with radiating streets.

Probie - I'm so sorry you aren't able to go this weekend.

You got there! SQUEE!!! Rest early so you can take pretty pretty pictures.

LOL!! Well, along with my dad's math skills I also got his sense of direction - meaning none. My family and friends thought it was hilarious how many times I got lost while driving around the hospital area in Boston when my mom was there, considering I went to college just blocks from there. It didn't help that GPS didn't work in Boston. There were times when I was yelling at the machine "This is NOT a hospital! This is a house! We're not even close! You lemon!" Ok, I didn't say the lemon part.

Hmmm, John's got math skills and a lack of direction too. Maybe the 2 go together. Math skills and lack of direction, that is. Not me and John. Well, in my dreams I suppose. LOL!

I hadn't thought of it that way. You're right. Made of fail. Just knowing the beginning of the mythical movie that will never be made was about Sam and Rodney doing a bunch of techno stuff makes me think S6 would have sucked more than a Hoover.

Oh my. I can hear it now. "They don't even have hot water in that country!" Oh, don't get angry. I'm just teasing.

Yay, FH! Good to know you got in safe, and most of all, HAVE FUN THIS WEEKEND!!!!

Or a black hole.

Oh my, sense of direction and trying to find your way around. I seem to be visually-based. Once I've been somewhere a couple of times, I can always find my way back, When going someplace new, I look up stuff in Google Maps before I even get in the car. Street View is my friend. And it works.
