sga_squeeI just recently fell in love with Stargate Atlantis. I started watching in late March, and just finished watching the last episode tonight. I enjoyed the concept, the story lines, and the chemistry between the characters. Especially between McKay and Sheppard. Their snark was epic, and their connection had me squeeee-ing almost every episode.
Anyway, the biggest reason I'm making this post, is that I'd like to start rewatching the episodes, this time with company. Watching in real time (I'm in USA's EST) and chatting as an ep plays or even within a few days of each other. I just want someone(s) to squee with about lines, looks, scenes, etc. It was so hard to watch on my own, I kept wanting to turn to someone and share in the awesomeness.
I couldn't name a favorite episode, because that would be any episode in which Rodney and John had several scenes together. Least favorite is easier. Not because of writing, but because of personal preferences. One kind of episode I really dislike, as a genre, is 'waking up in an asylum' eps. So, S3E6 'The Real World' where Elizabeth Weir wakes up in an asylum being told that Atlantis and Pegasus is all in her mind is one. It climbs to the top of my least favorite, because Rodney and John hardly have any screen time, and none until the end. Another kind of ep I dislike are clip shows. Therefore, S5E13 'Inquisition' is another one near the bottom for me.
Anyway, if anyone is interested in a rewatch, reply to this post, and we can work out details.

Date: 2011-05-22 07:57 am (UTC)Right now I'm not quite home much enough to do a re-watch (plus I'm not on the same continent, which tends to make thing even more difficult); but if you do manage to arrange something please leave another post in this com, and I'll do my best to join when/if I'm available. I LOVE sharing the SGA-love with other fans ^_^.

Some of the SG-1 fans set up a rewatch community and did every (I think) episode. The format was quite different than watch and chat. I think each week a moderator wrote an essay/re-cap of the episode and then others commented to that and to each other. It's a format that takes a lot of work from at least one person. Unfortunately I misplaced my link during my computer change over.

Theri posts were huge - filled with polls, images, links to associated meta, etc. I don't have the time for something like that. Anything I do will be very minor, besides my contribution of the discussion or real-time chat.

I think you'll find some episode discussion there. There's also an SGA Newbies Guide with all kinds of useful links and I'll be darned if I can find it this morning.
Anyone else got it? *bats eyeslashes*
Rewatches are always of the good!

Date: 2011-05-22 02:52 pm (UTC)Hah, I'm with you on the asylum episodes (though I have one--story--planned for myself) and the clip episodes (because we've already seen all this guys!) but my all time least fav ep was Whispers because I loathe teenage slasher/zombie movies! ;-)

Date: 2011-05-22 10:11 pm (UTC)Whispers wasn't my favorite, but it isn't near the bottom for me because I really like Beckett. I was so shocked when he died, and relived when they found a way to have him back.

Welcome to SGA!

Date: 2011-05-24 07:09 am (UTC)I'd love to do a rewatch, esp if you're still doing it in a month's time :) I'm about to grade 200 exams, so I'll be a bit busy before my summer holiday kicks in! I'm fairly new to SGA, too, and it's a wonderful fandom to be part of.
