Stargate Indulgence
![[mail]](img/envelope.gif){kind=small}
Today I did something that I haven't done in decades. Nothing. I veg'd all day long. [Well, I did laundry, but the machines do the heavy work there - doesn't count.] So, how did I occupy my time while being vegetative? I indulged my SG-1 addiction. I watched Stargate. SciFi's been rerunning the show since the beginning, and TiVo's been recording them.
I started with the Stargate movie, then SG-1 episodes 1 [Children of the Gods Part 1], 2 [Children of the Gods Part 2], 3 [Enemy Within], 100 [Wormhole X-treme] and the 200th episode [200] and even the SciFi Inside show about the 200th episode. What a great day. I've seen them all before, but it was a lot of fun to watch them this way, especially as the 100th and 200th episodes make fun of all that's gone before.
It's easy to indulge a Stargate addiction with TiVo. SciFi runs about 11 episodes a week [not counting repeats in a given week] plus local stations run the show and its spin-off Stargate Atlantis, about a season or two or three behind.
I hear that SciFi is NOT picking up season 11. That's just unconscionable. Not that I care if SciFi gets any ad revenue or not. The producers may continue with some direct to video scheme. Sign me up... As long as it's not locked into some silly DRM forcing me to watch it on a 2-inch screen. BitTorent to TiVo makes the most sense to me. 
I think I'll unwind by watching a Stargate Atlantis, and maybe another SG-1.
