Last week I was terribly sick, and am still not quite sure how I got that way though I have a few ideas, but after spending several days in bed with a 104-degree (40C) fever and collapsing every time I stumbled to the bathroom or the kitchen, I managed to make it to the couch and finally do something with the last few days of my Netflix trial, since I had spent the rest of the month of having it wondering why it didn't have any movies I felt like seeing and no new episodes of my tv shows. My brother's Hulu+ account = a much better option for my viewing needs.
Ever since watching OUAT's "Skin Deep" and realizing what a fabulously nuanced actor Robert Carlyle is and starting to watch some of his movies, because watching him act is sort of like watching a string of firecrackers go off in the food court of a mall, I noticed that he was on Stargate Universe. I've never had the desire to watch any Stargate before, I've seen friends' Rodney/Daniel (?) slashfics and didn't care, it all looked like the shiny military drama sci-fi I tend to avoid. I don't care about Super Important People doing Super Important Things IN SPACE! Because of an early exposure to MST3K, I like my spaceships to be rustbuckets on the edge of falling apart and I like my characters to be a bunch of mostly-nobodies doing what they have to do and having some fun with each other. I also like to talk during movies. Like I said, I blame MST3K.
So I guess it was the feverish delirium that led me to start watching Stargate Universe on Thursday afternoon. And then literally not cease watching episodes from that time, through the night and all of Friday, until late Friday night. I finished both seasons in three days. It's a new record for me.
( I still am not sure if I'm in love with this show but the stars in my eyes seem to indicate there might be a spark of something. )
I get the impression that SGU is not the popular girl of the Stargate club? What's up with that? I mean, I haven't watched the others so if everyone got turned off by a dramatic change in tone I suppose that's understandable (although it makes me want to not watch the other Stargate series, if they aren't quite as down to earth, pardon the pun) but the quality and writing of SGU seemed pretty solid, to me. AND ALSO IT HAS ROBERT CARLYLE'S STUPID FACE IN IT WHICH YOU HAVE TO WATCH.
I haven't found as much Chloe/Rush fic as I want (don't judge me) or fics that answer what happened after the ambiguous finale, so I have had to come up with my own headcanon, and it is this:
( my headcanon basically is fic except I won't post it anywhere because I can't remember absolutely everyone's names. )
