salable-mystic.livejournal.comUh, I hope posting this here is ok - I checked the community info and it sounds like it's ok for everyone to post here, and I have to make my delight about this show known, and this community sounded perfect for that.
I know that I am *WAY* behind the curve on this, but I literally just watched all five seasons of Atlantis in three weeks, and while, yes, there are some weak spots (the pacing of the last season irritated me - I think because I knew that there were only 4 and then 3 and then 2 and ... episodes left, and they pulled some major rabbits out of hats in that last episode, but anyway I digress...) my overall glee and enjoyment far outweights all of them. I wish I'd watched that show when it aired, so I could have had people to squee with in real time.
I came so, so close to doing it, too - I watched the pilot when it aired, but gave up on it after about 40 minutes - because Col. Sumner annoyed me too much to bear watching! ARGH!
And then they showed a repeat of the pilot some months back on TV, and I zapped into it, pretty much to see ... Col. Sumner being all heroic, and, you know ... dead. ("Wait, WHAT!")
So I bought the "complete series" DVD box set and ... yeah, resurfaced three days ago all teary eyed because it was over, and, yes, silly sometimes, but it hurt in a good way a lot of other times, and, yes, some episodes and stupid decisions annoyed me, but the show made me laugh and the show made me cry (Grodin! Carson! Elizabeth!!!) and I think I'll need to re-watch it all now. And read lots of fic.
I've been blogging about watching it on my journal some, and if anyone wants to read my story of discovery (or talk Atlantis with a total (albeit enthusiastic) newbie, I'd love to make some Atlantis fan friends!! (My current LJ friends are very tolerant of and bemused my new addiction, but have not seen the show...).
