They are all amazing!

And yup, RodneyIsGodney, here's the one I made you what seems like a million years ago now!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...psg8p0jf54.jpg

OMG! I remember this! I love how he is looking at my name. You must have made this back when I didn't know how to make sigs myself.

I made this a couple of years for Fandemonium's Legacy series of novels (IMO a must-read for all McKay fans)

In brackets for SPOILERS!!!

Spoiler:

I clicked on the spoiler...I'm reading the first book in the series now...on my nook. I didn't realize what you meant by "Fandemonium's Legacy" until after I clicked on the spoiler. I blame it on the fact that I'm really tired. Though I have seen this before, probably when you first made it.

However, based on the descriptions I've read of the books I kinda thought that maybe that was what happened to poor Rodney. Still wanted to read the books. Still will.

[sueKay]

RodneyIsGodney - Sorry, didn't mean to spoil you!!! The books are amazing though - well worth the read!

And yes he's looking at your name like "yeah I know I'm a god you mere mortals"

[sueKay]

Everyone okay with the following schedule? Some weeks have three episodes so that two and three parters can be watched in the one week, is that okay? Other weeks I've put one episode because they're classic McKay episodes and I'm worried we'd discuss those at the expense of the other episode

Any and all input greatly appreciated

This is perfect to me! Now i know when to get the last two seasons from the library.

Heh...I know I'm going to get eye rolls from my family if I go home for Thanksgiving and have DVDs with me.

[sueKay]

Forgot about Thanksgiving! Want me to add in a break week for then?

[Gwen1984]

Forgot about Thanksgiving! Want me to add in a break week for then?

LOL! No, it's fine. It is only Thanksgiving here in the US so no need to mess with the schedule.

[sueKay]

Saw this on tumblr years ago and it made me lol...

RodneyIsGodney - Sorry, didn't mean to spoil you!!! The books are amazing though - well worth the read!

Forget about it! And, yeah, I bet they are!

And yes he's looking at your name like "yeah I know I'm a god you mere mortals"

Hell yeah he is!

This looks good to me! I still have to find that season 1 dvd though. The disc with the pilot on it. I have tomorrow off (dentist appointment for crowns) so I will have a look for it in the morning.

Saw this on tumblr years ago and it made me lol...

That is too funny! ...think I saw it at some point in time.

[Cil]

Sorry, I’ve been away for a few days.

You guys did some really beautiful sigs! Are you using Photoshop?

I'm notorious for putting discs in other disc's cases. As in, popping NCIS out of my dvd player, putting SGA in dvd player or computer and putting NCIS in SGA disc's spot. Yeah, I'm bad.

Oh yes, I do that too! Also I always have a lot of DVD cases lying around my TV, which I’m just too lazy to put back into the shelf, after I’ve watched them.

If you have Netflix Atlantis should be there (well it is in the UK at least! )

Yes, it’s also on Netflix here in Switzerland. So I’m probably gonna watch it there, even though I do own the DVDs, it’s just more comfortable on Netflix.

I made this a couple of years for Fandemonium's Legacy series of novels (IMO a must-read for all McKay fans)

I couldn’t bring myself to read the Legacy series yet.

Spoiler:

I heard that they’re putting Sheppard and Teyla together and for some reason I just can’t stand that pairing. I was so glad, once I realized they weren’t going that way in canon, so I really don’t need to read about it. Nothing against fans of that pairing, it’s just really not my cup of tea.

But if you say, it’s worth the read for McKay fans, maybe I should reconsider…?

Wow, you put a lot of work into that schedule. Thanks! And yes, I think it’s a really good idea to watch two and three parters in one week.
This schedule should work fine. I’ll write everything down into my calendar right away.

Spoilers!

Spoiler:

I read the books without knowing about the John/Teyla plot in advance...I found it a bit out of character and irksome, but I think the authors realised it wasn't popular, so it barely gets a mention...The issue's mostly alluded to rather than being directly addressed. As a result I thoroughly enjoyed most of the books. As a McKay fan it's definitely worth the read

[sueKay]

Sorry, I’ve been away for a few days.

You guys did some really beautiful sigs! Are you using Photoshop?

I have Photoshop but I use GIMP for almost everything

Wow, you put a lot of work into that schedule. Thanks! And yes, I think it’s a really good idea to watch two and three parters in one week.

Thank you

I'm looking forward to this...I'm thinking of listening along to the commentaries (which I've never listened to!!) and take notes. But I only have seasons 1 - 3 on DVD!

Spoiler:

Ah, thank you for telling me. I wasn't aware, it was such a small part of the books. I imagined it to be quite a big and important part. So in that case I'll probably give it a chance after all. I need more McKay! Although I still have some of the other books I once bought, that I haven't read yet. Now I'll have to see where to get the Legacy books from. ebooks are probably easier to get a hold of.

GIMP? I've never heard of that program before. So is that one better? I always work with Photoshop, since it's the one I know best. (And it's the one we always use at work too.)

Thank you

Yes, I'm looking forward to it too! I have no idea, if my DVDs have commentaries. That would actually be really cool! I'll have to check. They're currently at my parents' house, but I'll see them on Friday.
Do you have the UK version? Or the US version? I have the German version, but maybe I'm lucky and they also have some special features...

I've only got the ebooks because for a while it was really difficult to get a hold of the print books

GIMP is freeware...It's not better than Photoshop but it's what I'm used to using

They should do...It's the Region 2 version I've got

[sueKay]

Well I don't have any screencaps from Rising (I'll try and rectify that this week) or many icons (again, gonna try and rectify that) so here's my two solitary Rising icons and two s1 publicity icons

[RodneyIsGodney]

Sorry, I’ve been away for a few days.

You guys did some really beautiful sigs! Are you using Photoshop?

Thanks. I use Gimp. I do have PS2 but I hardly ever use it. Gimp is just like Photoshop just not as ...sophisticated? Yeah.

Oh yes, I do that too! Also I always have a lot of DVD cases lying around my TV, which I’m just too lazy to put back into the shelf, after I’ve watched them.

Same here.
