The Pirates! In an Adventure with Laundry! and Crossdressing! (In Boston in the Fall.)

[melannen]

I am at stellar_dust's for the holiday week, and she has loaned me one of her archeology books, which has led, through an interesting series of links, to me reading a research paper from the Seventh Korean-Japanese Symposium on Medieval History of Europe. I love living in the future!

Of course if I was actually living in the future I'd be reading the actual paper I wanted to look up, instead of a paper translated from Japanese to Korean to English that happens to cite it, but, well, we can't expect our intellectuals to keep up with the times. /not bitter at all

Anyway, on to actually relevant stuff: stellar_dust's flatmate erinptah, having watched through her SG1 DVDs and then attempted to watch SGA only to realize it was the one where the fic was better than the series, wanted a "good parts" list of Stargate Atlantis seasons 1-3, so I said I'd post one here. (Limited to s1-s3 because stellar_dust stopped buying the DVDs after that.) Kibitzing in comments welcome. She says she likes Rodney McKay, time travel, and mystery/exploration type stories.

Rising pt 1 & 2
Hide and Seek
Thirty-Eight Minutes
Suspicion

I don't remember any of these at all. Had I stopped watching by then, or were they just that unmemorable? Hmm.

All right, I've officially finished watching all your recs! Along with a couple of extra episodes, like the one with the Return of the Alien Whales.

The executive summary: some of them I quite enjoyed, and I do not feel the need to seek out any more ^_^;

Thanks again for making the list!

(Now I just need to get stellar_dust to pick the good bits out of all nine X-Files box sets, and I'll be set in my viewing for the next few months...)

DON'T DO IT!

I told her to do that for me once, and I wasn't let out of the room with the DVD player for 72 hours...

[erinptah]

Bah! Working on comics for 72 hours may be just what I need to get ahead before Christmas vacation + family visit + school kicking off...
