SGA? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

I kind of can't believe they canceled it because I feel like it hasn't reached its full potential yet and that it won't this season (from what I've seen of the plot summaries). And honestly, as much as I love Rodney, I'm sick of the Rodney McKay show. And even a little bit of the John Sheppard Saves The Day show. I mean, they have a whole team of main characters to use, and I really think the show would be improved if they USED them. And had multi-episode story arcs. They SAY this movie thing will give them the opportunity to "tell stories on a bigger canvas" but GUESS WHAT, GUYS, I AM PRETTY SURE SHOWS LIKE BUFFY AND BSG HAVE SHOWN US THAT TV IS A BIGGER CANVAS ACTUALLY. I mean, that's what they said about the SG-1 movies too but both have been just like weirdly paced episodes that dragged on too long and didn't inject the series with anything interesting or new.

I think my feelings on this matter are best expressed through the power of walrus:



That is all.

I went to Half Price books and scored some pretty cool stuff.

( Here's the list. )

I always mean to read more but in the past few years I've really soured to published fiction. It just... most of the authors I like, I already own everything by, and most of the new-to-me stuff I try out bores me to tears or has typos or is awkwardly constructed or ends up having nothing to say, and I'd rather just go read fanfic since there's still tons of stuff I haven't read that I know will be good. And I love fiction way, WAY more than nonfiction, but for the past two years I have read so much more of the latter. I'm hoping that if I post about the books I read in my journal, it'll encourage me to read more. I also like it when other people post about the books they've read because I'm always looking for recs/warnings. I find scoradh's rambly reviews especially entertaining.

With that said, ( Books I mean to read rather soon. )
