For the people on my flist who watch both Ugly Betty and SG-1/SGA (and there is maybe a Venn Diagram overlapping of what, 3 people?):

( SGFU casting spoilers with indirect Ugly Betty spoilers on the side. )

Yeeeah, I'm still wary. But before the back half of SGA Season 5 I was perversely excited by SGFU, so it's looking more and more like I might have to download this and at least check out the first episode. Sigh. I almost feel like it's been so long now that I've foolishly forgotten how bad my SGA rage was and I'm ready to sign on for more!

You know how women are wired to forget just how painful labor is are or they'd NEVER HAVE MORE THAN ONE KID? Something like that.

From David Hewlett’s twitter:

dhewlett: Shooting the last scene, of the last episode, of Stargate Atlantis...2 more days of filming but this is it...thanks so much everyone!

*wibble*

However, I dunno, I must say that but for the Shrine, Season 5 hasn’t quite grabbed me yet, so I’m getting a little less sad that this will be the end.

Also, ( even more unpopular fannish opinion about Stargate Universe under the cut )



In other news, once my bonus comes in from work on Thursday, I’ll be getting a new laptop! Finally! Guess who managed to go over a month without a laptop? ME. Who believed I could do that without going crazy? NOT ME, actually. *surprised at self* At any rate, this might mean I post more often (haha, probably not).

Right now, I’m planning on this one. It’s lightweight, only $400, runs XP instead of Vista, and since I’ll really only be using it to a) surf the internet and b) download TV shows/movies it should serve nicely for what I can afford right now. Even though there are some complaints that the keyboard and touchpad are tiny, it’s sure as hell a step up from using my iPod touch to go online, which is what I've been doing to get by.

That said, if anyone has any other recommendations, please let me know!
